Kiana looked at the group with innocent eyes.
At first, Stelle didn't know what it meant either.
But she was fast enough, and quickly found related information online.
"wdnmd, that's seriously perverted."
After looking around, she sighed and continued standing with March 7th, staring deeply at the Ambrosial Arbor.
"You two!"
Sushang, carrying a huge bag of supplies, passed by and shouted when she saw them:
"Stop trying to look cool! Come help move stuff!"
"Oh."
"Coming."
Chat group.
Kiana continued questioning the two people who seemed to know.
[Kiana: @Bronya @Asta, what's deoxy*ribose?]
[Bronya: ...]
[Asta: Uh... this...]
"How am I supposed to explain this..."
Asta's face was full of conflict. Making an innocent girl say out loud something she had learned while bored.
It was too difficult.
[Bronya: Go ask Elysia, she definitely knows.]
[Bronya: Asta and I were just casually agreeing with a few words. We don't know exactly what it is.]
That was something meant to fool idiots.
But Kiana really believed it.
[Kiana: Oh.]
"Phew~"
Asta let out a sigh of relief.
Thankfully Bronya had saved her, otherwise she might really have had to explain it to Kiana in the group...
Her life would probably be over.
She might as well fly into a black hole and live there.
[Kiana: @Elysia, hurry up! I'm dying here!]
[Elysia: ...]
[Elysia: Why did you throw this silly... cute group owner onto me!]
How was she supposed to explain it?
How could she say it out loud?
Kiana puffed up her cheeks.
[Kiana: Stop dragging it out!]
'It's just a question, why was everyone being so slow?'
If Himeko saw her coming to ask questions, she'd probably laugh herself awake in the middle of the night.
[Elysia: My dear group owner, let me tell you, you should ask @Levi about this.]
[Elysia: He knows more than I do, and his explanation will definitely be more complete.]
[Levi: Don't pin this on me! Everyone calls me Big Dumbass, how could I know more than you!]
[Stelle: Ruthless!]
[Levi: Still hanging around in the group?! Go move bricks!]
"!!!"
Seeing that message aimed at herself, Stelle was startled. "How does he know I'm moving bricks?!"
'No, wait!' She was assisting with building defensive fortifications.
Adjusting her hard hat, Stelle looked around but didn't see Levi anywhere nearby.
Then she reacted and slapped her pig brain twice.
With Levi's current abilities, it would be strange if he didn't know what she was doing.
Elysia was dumbfounded.
She didn't expect that in order to escape, Levi would directly insult himself as a big dumbass.
'That courage...'
[Lumine: If it's not AR, I don't eat it.]
[Elysia: ?]
[Bronya: ?]
[Asta: ?]
[Levi: ?]
[Stelle: ?]
'Another master!'
Lumine truly deserved the title of Teyvat's number one cake master.
Silent until she spoke, then she shocked everyone.
Levi had an idea.
[Levi: Come to my house tonight, there'll be plenty!]
Since he'd already said "plenty."
Hopefully when the time came, she wouldn't end up kneeling and begging him to stop.
Though something like that obviously wouldn't happen.
[Lumine: I just said it casually, and you actually want me to go to your house?]
[Lumine: Shrimp-head man!]
[I'm putting you online right now!]
'Online?'
[Levi: Does Teyvat even have the internet?]
As far as he remembered, the only thing in Teyvat that could be called a network was Sumeru's Akasha.
But that thing relied on the Gnosis.
And only existed within Sumeru.
He hadn't heard of other places connecting to the Akasha.
[Lumine: Small! Your vision is too small!]
'You don't need the internet to expose someone!'
[Lumine: I can just post you as a quest at the Adventurers' Guild.]
Even if she couldn't publish it, she could just spend some Mora and commission the Adventurers' Guild to put Levi up in every Adventurers' Guild across Teyvat.
At that point, becoming famous would be unavoidable.
[Levi: Evil woman!]
'To think you'd come up with such a vicious method!'
'Truly snake-hearted!'
[Lumine: You dare insult me? Double the level... I'll go hand out flyers later.]
'I want every trash can in Teyvat to be filled with portraits of Levi.'
[Kiana: So...]
[Kiana: What exactly is deoxyribose?!]
Everyone else knew, and she was the only one left in the dark. It felt awful.
[Stelle: Didn't Levi already say it? Go to his house tonight and he'll treat you.]
'Won't you know after eating it?'
'What's the big deal?'
[Asta: Be careful about getting hit.]
Asta gave a friendly reminder.
If Kiana learned the actual meaning later, Stelle might get a taste of the iron fist.
[Lumine: It's fine, her skin is thick. She won't die.]
Back then, beating her up made Lumine's hands hurt, yet Stelle only lay down for one day before getting up and moving around like nothing happened.
Even the Coconut Goat at her peak wouldn't be a match for that toughness.
Put her on the front line in battle and she could stroll into the enemy camp without a scratch.
[Stelle: Cough cough, too exaggerated, too exaggerated.]
Looking at the chat group, Kiana sat up straight and frowned slightly.
'Why is everyone unwilling to say it?'
"..."
"Tsk~"
[Kiana: @Levi, I'm free tonight. I'll come over.]
"Holy crap! She's really going?"
Stelle's eyes widened slightly.
She had said it directly in the group. No matter how he looked at it, Kiana was serious.
Never one to miss a chance for trouble, Stelle tagged Levi.
[Stelle: @Levi]
Seeing Stelle speak, everyone followed.
[Asta: @Levi]
[Elysia: @Levi]
[Bronya: @Levi]
[Lumine: @Levi]
[Asta: Why am I the first one...]
'I should've been slower.'
'Then Elysia would've been first.'
Stelle laughed. "Never would've expected that from Asta with those thick eyebrows~"
She was gradually being colored by the chat group too.
[Ding ding ding ding ding ding!]
Levi, who was secretly watching the show with Fu Xuan, got a headache from the sudden barrage of notifications.
Shaking his head, he opened the group to see what everyone was doing.
He scrolled past a long line of messages tagging him.
Then saw Kiana's message.
"What, she just wants to come over and play... wait!"
Just as he was about to look away, Levi suddenly turned back.
Staring directly at Kiana's message.
"At... night?"
'No.'
'What are you trying to do?!'
Levi leaned back slightly.
'I was just joking, and you're actually planning to drain me tonight?!'
Looking through everything carefully.
He realized Kiana didn't understand the meaning of "deoxyribose."
And because of some Nameless guest's encouragement, she had gotten the idea of visiting Levi at night.
"Tsk~" Levi smacked his lips. "This idiot!"
If asking people didn't work, couldn't she just search online?
[Kiana: I did. The encyclopedia was too professional, I couldn't understand it.]
Oh, he'd wronged Kiana. She wasn't completely beyond saving.
"Cough cough! Looks like only I, the Luofu's greatest genius, can explain it to you!"
Throwing away his nonexistent sense of shame.
Levi wrote several hundred words to answer idiot Kiana's doubts.
[Stelle: ? Where's the explanation?]
[Levi: Ask Kiana for it.]
Turns out it was a private message.
———
[Some Time Later]
After digesting the information, Kiana spoke in the group.
[Kiana: Are you all this perverted?]
Looking at the familiar IDs in the chat group, Kiana's eyes were full of disgust.
She suddenly felt like leaving the group.
If she stayed with this bunch of perverts, would she become one too?
'No! She absolutely couldn't become a pervert!'
Kiana's eyes became firm. She swore to stop the Levi virus from spreading to herself.
Seeing Kiana's words, everyone immediately started pushing the blame away.
[Stelle: It's all Levi's fault!]
[Levi: ?]
