If it were before establishing a [Bond] with MEI, Leo wouldn't have spilled the beans no matter what.
But now that the two were grasshoppers tied to the same rope, there was nothing he couldn't say.
Therefore—
"A degraded upper-layer narrator?"
With MEI's intellect, she quickly understood Leo's meaning.
"You could understand it roughly like that, though I've only written relevant fanfiction; I'm not the original author."
Seeing MEI accept this fact so calmly, Leo couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Indeed, just as you worried, if you told me these things right off the bat, I really would have treated you as a madman."
Interlacing her fair, slender fingers, MEI gazed at Leo and said, "Even if you could state all my information correctly, I would only treat you as a stalking pervert, then call the police to arrest you."
"That's really harsh..."
Seeing MEI speak so excessively, Leo could only smile helplessly.
"After all, if a member of the opposite sex suddenly told you they knew everything about you, wouldn't you feel afraid?"
Rolling her eyes slightly at Leo, MEI crossed her arms, and her slender yet shapely long legs wrapped in black silk stockings below also crossed.
"Somewhat..."
Thinking about it, Leo nodded and said, "I probably would."
"But if it were a beautiful girl, that would be a different matter."
"You'll be ruined by women sooner or later!"
Her elegant brows furrowing slightly, MEI looked disgusted, as if looking at non-recyclable trash.
"No, no."
Waving his hand at MEI, Leo laughed, "After all, as a wholesome adolescent, I would definitely leave a security key for myself."
"Only if that girl said it correctly would I believe the other party is really some degraded upper-layer narrator."
"Otherwise, I'd also worry it was a honey trap."
Actually... he really had encountered such things!
Although he was quite confident in his looks, he was never blindly confident.
Especially during the period right after his parents died, holding wealth that could keep an ordinary person fed and clothed for a lifetime, it was only normal to be coveted by those around him.
But the reason he could retreat unscathed was naturally because he was calm enough and wouldn't easily fall into others' traps.
—Even a beautiful girl wouldn't work!
"Is that so?"
Seeing Leo's calm eyes, MEI understood she had somewhat underestimated the man before her.
However—
"Wholesome adolescent..."
Finally finding a chance to interject, Raiden Mei, who had been idle, couldn't help but retort, "It's a chunibyo boy, right?"
"Otherwise, who would leave themselves a security key with unclear meaning?"
After speaking, she seemed to think of something, her small face blushing slightly, radiating a cute aura.
"Mei knows a lot, huh~"
Hearing this, Leo smiled and turned his head, "Almost forgot you are also an expert in this field."
Speaking of which, Raiden Mei actually had some chunibyo attributes; it's just that she was constrained by her young lady identity early on, and later forcibly matured due to her father Raiden Ryoma.
So in the impression of others, she is either a naive wealthy young lady or a mature and steady Big Sister Mei.
But in reality, she also has such a cute side like chunibyo.
"I'm not an expert!"
Being looked at by Leo until she turned her pretty face to the other side, Raiden Mei insisted stubbornly, "I just heard it from my friend."
"A friend, huh?"
A subtle smile appeared on his handsome face. Leo didn't drive her into a corner; he turned to look at MEI and said, "Anyway, you should also analyze for me—who do you think the enemy might be?"
After speaking, he looked at the Genius Girl · MEI with fervent eyes.
However—
"Don't treat me as an omniscient and omnipotent existence."
Shaking her head, MEI said expressionlessly, "The intelligence you told me is not enough to support me finding the answer."
"However..."
Rolling her eyes, she said again, "If the goal is to create a Herrscher, and they want to corrupt a piece of 'past' history, then the enemy should be in the 'future'."
"Do you think it's possible that some new enemy appeared in the future, and then tried to reverse cause and effect?"
"After all, as long as they destroy our history, naturally there will be no future events."
"And you, were chosen for some unknown reason, and then became the savior?"
After speaking, she looked at Leo with an interested gaze.
After all, in her opinion, such a topic should excite Leo, this chunibyo boy.
However—
"Please spare me."
Hearing this terrible guess, Leo said with a pained face, "I just want to play a romance game. If that doesn't work, I can accept NPC [BEEP!]."
"Why give me such a dark and heavy task?"
Undoubtedly, the look on his face was his truest inner feeling.
After all, although he can resurrect, his pain is real; he was solidly killed by Lord Guard Zombie three times!
"..."
Silently watching the complaining Leo, MEI's face showed no disappointment.
Rather... he really is honest; no wonder he could say he wants to two-time without changing his expression.
Although she was very unhappy with Leo's remarks, she had to admit that was the fact.
Therefore—
"You are very greedy, so naturally you have to put in more effort."
"If you can really do it, I can also agree to all your requests."
"After all, this is also for me."
As for "for the world" or something, that scope is too big for a girl like her.
At least for now, she doesn't have such lofty ideals yet.
"Heh~"
Seeing MEI finally give a substantive response, Leo couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, on this point alone I definitely won't let you... let you down!"
Saying that, he glanced at Raiden Mei who had moved her gaze back.
"Ugh..."
Glanced at by Leo, Raiden Mei's pretty face flushed uncontrollably.
"Right, what are your plans regarding your studies?"
Not wanting to continue on this topic, MEI hurried to change the subject before her pretty face was stared red by Leo's gaze again.
"Continue going, I guess."
Not thinking of making MEI break character right now, Leo maintained his smile and said, "Yesterday was mainly an overdraft of [Energy]. Otherwise, normally speaking, I wouldn't need to sleep so long."
He really wasn't talking nonsense; after all, before entering the dungeon last night, he actually had a good sleep.
Therefore, if not for encountering an accident, he would have no problem going to school during the day.
After all, when he was in the Celestial Empire in the past, studying until he only slept three or four hours was common... although he only worked that hard for that one year.
"But do you really still need to go to school?"
And actually, this was what MEI really wanted to ask.
—Leo's positioning of himself after obtaining power!
