I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

Some people say my outline is contradictory, but in my opinion there is nothing contradictory about it, because my outline has always been very clear.

Some have pointed out that my protagonist is so split-off that he's no longer a single person, but in truth, I didn't write him as a single individual; I actually wrote more of an ensemble piece...

The reason I wrote it this way is simply because I couldn't get over my own mental hurdle. I didn't want to write a pure transformation story; I wanted to stay true to the original character. Actually, I've always known that it's best not to stay true to the original character when writing this kind of transformation story, because it's difficult to write that way, unless it's about role-playing.

Therefore, I weakened the protagonist's existence from the beginning and strengthened the personality and abilities of each character. Now, she can even be said to be similar to a small group of sea creatures, different individuals with different ideas, but they are of one mind and have the same goal.

The way I'm expressing and writing it now is exactly what I expected from the beginning, because that's how I intended to write it from the start, so I've never felt any contradiction.

Some people have even made the analogy that it would be disgusting if the goose and Rita got together. What we're saying is... did I ever write about the ambiguity between these two identities from beginning to end?

In the chapter about the goose, the only person I was really close to and even kissed was Maria. Or has the normal interaction between the two identities crossed that line?

Putting aside whether I intend to write about myself being with myself, just one point... is it strange to accompany each other? Especially when the protagonist is practically an immortal being.

And although this is a yuri (lesbian) story, it doesn't mean that two girls will necessarily get together just because they're together.

Also, I knew the drawbacks of this writing style from the beginning, but I still chose to write it this way in the end for two reasons. One is that I wanted to restore the character's personality, and the second and most important reason is that it is easy to grasp.

More than one person has told me that they strongly suggest I write with several storylines interwoven. To be honest, I made this very clear in the comments section: I don't have the writing skills to handle it.

Why would anyone think that, while maintaining the original character's personality, it's easy to weave multiple storylines together? One wrong move and the whole thing falls apart. To exaggerate a bit, without maintaining the original character's personality, even weaving multiple storylines together is difficult.

The reason I'm issuing this announcement is simply to explain to you that I don't want to see people questioning my outline and writing style every now and then.

Sometimes I don't understand. If you raise other issues, that's fine. If there are problems, I can fix them.

But since you can raise these questions and raise them...

So you should understand that the foundation of a novel like this cannot be changed, right? Or did you all think from the beginning that I didn't understand? That I didn't understand my own novel?

Many others went on and on, raising the issue before adding a comment like "Well written, keep it up!"

Me: ????? ? Huh?

Chapter 64 Bottlenecks and Peeping

"..."

After finishing the final cleanup, Mebius leisurely returned to his office, transformed back into the giant snake, and began speaking in a tone that mimicked Ellie's normal voice.

Without much hesitation or agonizing, she took out the equipment she had purchased and began to seriously analyze and review the data and samples collected that evening, plunging headfirst into her work once again.

It's fortunate that Mebius is a Fusion Warrior; otherwise, most people wouldn't be able to handle such high-intensity work, working day and night.

……

Time always seems to fly by when you're focused. Just a few hours later... light began to appear outside the office window, and the sky brightened as the sun rose.

"call……"

Noticing this, Möbius stopped what he was doing, blinked his slightly sore eyes, and then got up to turn off the lights he had been working on all night.

"Another night has passed; time really flies."

After turning off the office lights, Möbius looked out the window and sighed softly.

Although she still wants to continue her research and studies, it is clear that she has other more important tasks to complete today.

As for what important task it is... well, it's to do a little side investigation to see if anyone noticed anything unusual last night.

Although Mebius believed she had done a good job cleaning up yesterday and had tampered with the surveillance footage, she didn't mind checking it again to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As for the possibility that Charmander might accidentally let something slip... Mebius wasn't really concerned.

Because, in a sense, she knows this child very well, and generally speaking, she is a woman of her word, so it's unlikely that she would expose him.

Even if it were to be exposed, given that she handled the cleanup very well, the surveillance footage was replaced, and there were no problems, whether others believe it or not is another matter.

At that point, at most only Saria and Himeru might believe it; the rest would probably just think it's a child's dream. And even if they did believe it, Möbius has ways to prevent anyone from finding out about him.

With that thought in mind, Möbius took action.

Since it was still early, she planned to go back to the room Rhine Life had arranged for her to wash up properly. After all, no matter how busy she was, she didn't like to look disheveled and messy.

————————————————————————

After washing up, Mebius casually draped his light green hair over his shoulders and left the room to gather information.

Since she had already decided to go out, she planned to stop by the cafeteria for breakfast.

After a series of indirect knocking and probing, and finding nothing unusual for the time being, Möbius stopped his actions and returned to his office to bury himself in his work.

"..."

Back in his seat, looking at the countless tasks and documents in front of him, Möbius found it unusual for him to lose focus.

To be honest, she had already started considering whether to find or create an assistant for herself.

However, given that she cannot let outsiders discover what she is doing, she currently prefers to create one herself...

Of course, this is just a thought at the moment. After all, the materials in the two worlds are not the same. If Möbius wants to create artificial life like Klein, he will still have to go through a lot of experiments, and he may not even succeed...

"call……"

After mentally assessing the current situation, Möbius sighed softly and refocused his attention to continue his research and analysis.

……

In the small laboratory connected to Möbius's office—

"boom……"

"..."

With the 13th problem encountered in this small experiment, Mebius stopped what she was doing. She now had to admit that she had made a mistake and had encountered an unusual bottleneck.

As for why it was unconventional, it's because, more than other mistakes, Möbius believed his main problem, his error, lay in his insufficient knowledge of the world...

You see, even though she had been frantically and relentlessly cramming on knowledge about the biology of this world for the past few months, it still wasn't enough...

She has had too little time to learn the technology and knowledge that the world has accumulated over the past few centuries... so little that she might even make mistakes that others would not expect.

"Bubble wrap...tsk, I was careless, there wasn't any."

Having temporarily hit a knowledge bottleneck, Möbius became unusually anxious and subconsciously sought out bubble wrap to relieve stress and think.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find this "common thing" that was usually readily available in her laboratory.

Well, now Möbius has successfully added bubble wrap to his next shopping list, in addition to instant noodles.

"..."

After calming himself down a bit, Möbius expressionlessly tidied up the table in front of him, recording the data of the failures and then disposing of the messy, unsuccessful products in a reasonable manner.

In that

Afterwards, Snake did not choose to stay in his office or laboratory to continue his experiments. Instead, he chose to leave and go directly to Rhine Lab's rather luxurious archives.

If it were any other problem, Mebius could tolerate it, but if it was merely a lack of knowledge (at the time)... given her pride, she simply couldn't bear it at all.

Moreover, she had promised Ifrit that she wouldn't be in so much pain during her "treatment".

Although Ifrit was merely a guinea pig and a target in Möbius's eyes, once he agreed, he agreed...

In this respect, she disdained to deceive a child... and even more so, she disdained to use a child for repeated experiments. Therefore, she wanted to create the perfect potion.

Möbius believed he could do it; it just needed some time…

……

"Di-"

As her identity scan was completed, the Rhine Lab's massive archives slowly opened its doors to Mebius, inviting her inside.

"..."

Seeing the scene before him, Mebius did not hesitate at all and calmly entered the archives.

Meanwhile, not far away, a pair of eyes were watching Möbius's retreating figure as he entered the archives with great interest, seemingly spying on something.

P.S.: There will be another update tonight. I'll try to write as quickly as possible. Please urge me to hurry up.

Chapter 65 Horhaya and Möbius

"..."

As the door to the archives closed, Mebius paused slightly, a dark glint flashing in her serpentine eyes before she resumed her actions.

Her senses weren't that weak; she had already noticed the spying from outside.

Even though she noticed it, she didn't take it to heart, because she had noticed quite a bit of this curious prying.

Normally, Mebius might have been in the mood for some "fun," but now... she didn't have the time or energy to waste on such trivial matters.

If you don't bother her, she'll naturally pretend she didn't see you... but if you come on your own initiative, then don't blame her for giving you a lesson.

Although Mebius is aware that his unusual behavior of working hard and putting in overtime lately has attracted a lot of attention and curiosity.

However, she is pressed for time... and there's not much she can do but pretend to rest for a bit.

"Sigh...this is really a headache."

After letting out a soft sigh, Mebius leisurely began searching for the information he needed, following the categories.

……

"A workaholic who forgets to eat and sleep? That's really intriguing..."

Only after Möbius had been engrossed in the data for a short while did the woman, who had been watching intently, withdraw her gaze and slowly walk out. She then gently touched her lips and murmured something.

If Mebius were here right now, he would definitely recognize who this woman with gray hair, green eyes, two feathers on her head, and a snake tail is... Horhaia.

alt='Holhaya'>

However, even if Snake recognizes him, she probably won't care much, because in her eyes he's just an insignificant person with a somewhat complicated background.

If he had to say what he cared about, Möbius cared more about her body than about her as a person, since "Feathered Serpent" sounded like a pretty good research subject.

------------------

In the archives—

Mebius, who was flipping through the relevant information he had finally found, suddenly paused, his eyes flashing with dissatisfaction as well as a hint of understanding.
