Mobius sat on the cute, pink bed, her pupils gradually regaining their clarity.
"I... succeeded? Is this the 'world' Aponia spoke of?"
Mobius raised her palms, staring at them in a daze.
It wasn't the sensation of a data stream, but the genuine biological signs of a living organism.
Mobius's research into[Life]was so thorough that she understood this immediately.
"...A real body?"
Mobius was both shocked and delighted. This directly saved her the process of finding a replacement body.
"But..."
Mobius gently clenched her five fingers.
All the power within her body had vanished, and she couldn't sense any factors related to Honkai energy.
Right now, she was, completely and utterly, a delicate and weak young girl—light, soft, and easy to push over.
But it didn't matter.
This body was a perfect fit for her.
The greatest strength of[Science]lies in its repeatability. In the past, she had reached a distant shore in the realm of life that was unattainable by human intellect.
The current Mobius could do the same.
The crucial question now is... where exactly am I? Did my consciousness come here directly? No wonder meditation was required...
The gentle and solid voice from outside the door came in again.
"Little Lazy Snake, the sun's about to bake your bottom. Time to get up."
"..."
This guy... who is he?
The "Little Feng" that Aponia mentioned?
Mobius got out of bed, her long, light-green hair cascading down as her bare, delicate feet stepped onto the cool floor.
The hem of her light skirt fell just so, seeming to perfectly cover her flawless little feet.
But with the slightest movement, that breathtaking sight, as translucent and pristine as white jade, would become faintly visible.
It kept Mobius's slender feet in a perpetually ambiguous state of "seemingly visible, yet not quite, but just right if the skirt were lifted a little," teasing the mind.
The young woman opened the door, and a smile as refreshing as the blue sky greeted her.
"Little Lazy Snake, you're up. I'm taking you to the HOMU Amusement Park today. Aren't you happy!"
"Who are you?"
"My Little Lazy Snake, are you still groggy from sleep?"
Ye Feng pinched Mobius's face. Her cheeks were truly smooth and tender, making it hard to let go.
"..."
"Alright, hurry up and go wash. I've made your favorite strawberry cake."
"..."
Mobius looked at the gentle man before her.
Her vertical, snake-like pupils were deep and mysterious, as if trying to see right through him.
The man wore an apron and was quite a bit taller than her. His features were strong yet gentle, and he exuded an approachable aura, like a househusband.
Mobius didn't panic, nor did she ask any questions. She simply observed this world quietly.
Am I a parallel universe version of myself? Or something else?
'It's just like 'transmigrating.' If Danzhu encountered this situation, she would adapt quite well, wouldn't she? The subcultures she loves seem to have many fantasy genres that tell these kinds of stories, right?'
Mobius walked to the dining table and sat down.
On it was a strawberry cream cake.
The cake was heart-shaped, adorned with many fresh strawberries and sprinkled with translucent little granules that shimmered like pearls. A bit of snow-white cream and a few bright red cherries decorated the top.
"...A heart shape?"
Would a father make this kind of cake for his daughter?
How disgusting.
Mobius stared at the strawberry cream cake, motionless.
"Mobius? What's wrong?"
Ye Feng walked over and couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't tell me you want me to feed you? No way. You're a big girl now, you can't always have people feed you."
The previous owner of this body... was she always fed by him?
If this is a parallel universe version of me, did she enjoy this kind of warmth as a matter of course since childhood?
The thought made Mobius feel a bit irritated, perhaps even... jealous?
Even if her lonely and miserable childhood was buried and forgotten, it would forever remain an indelible shadow in Mobius's life.
"Ahhh~"
Mobius opened her thin, rosy lips toward Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was a head taller than Mobius. Looking down, he could clearly see the scenery inside Snakey's mouth.
Her tongue was longer and thinner than an average person's, and it looked remarkably flexible.
Then there was the tender pink flesh of her inner cheeks, moist and soft.
Following that was her beautiful uvula and the entrance to her throat.
The tender throat was constricted and narrow. With Mobius tilting her head up, it pulsed gently with her breathing, expanding and contracting in a minuscule rhythm.
"I really can't win with you."
Ye Feng scooped up a spoonful of cake and placed it in Snakey's mouth.
Her pink lips immediately closed, fitting snugly against the handle of the silver spoon. Ye Feng could even feel a slight vibration. Was her tongue stirring it?
When all was still.
Ye Feng slowly withdrew the silver spoon.
The part that had been engulfed by Snakey slowly emerged, coated in a layer of clear liquid. The silver of the spoon glittered in the sunlight.
"Ah~"
Mobius, expressionless, opened her mouth again.
And so, Ye Feng fed her another spoonful.
This breakfast took 20 minutes, longer than any breakfast Mobius had ever had.
While she wasn't a die-hard efficiency-ist, she wouldn't waste time on a meaningless consumption like eating.
When Mobius was busy, she subsisted on nutritional supplements, and most of the time, she was, in fact, very busy.
"Alright, get changed. Let's get ready to go."
"Go where?"
"The HOMU Amusement Park, of course. Though, if you want to go to the theme park by the sea, that's fine too. But you can only choose one."
...Boring.
That's what Mobius thought internally.
But she still followed Ye Feng's words and went to her room.
Of course, Mobius didn't actually want to go. She was merely following the "trajectory of life" for the time being.
She surmised that she might have transmigrated into the body of her "parallel self."
But when Mobius saw the clothes Ye Feng had prepared for her, her expression instantly turned grim.
A little pink dress?
"?"
"?"
Both of them produced a question mark simultaneously.
Ye Feng said, "Little Lazy Snake, don't tell me you're too lazy to even change your clothes? That won't do. You can't go out in what you're wearing now."
Snakey was taken aback. What's wrong with the clothes I have on?
Healthy, appropriate, elegant, and dignified.
It was an outfit that Snakey was relatively fond of.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have worn this ensemble for so long.
In Snakey's wardrobe, aside from lab coats, it was all just this dress.
But judging by this man's expression, it seemed the clothes she was wearing couldn't be worn outside?
Is it the cultural custom here?
"Get me a different set." Mobius said coldly.
"Alright, how about this one?"
Ye Feng took out a sukumizu.
"..."
"This one's no good either? Then this one."
Ye Feng then took out the 「Mobius - Summer Swimsuit」 outfit.
"..."
The corner of Snakey's mouth twitched slightly.
What is with the cultural customs of this world?
