Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Grandma Mebius, what's wrong?"

Gretchen quickly noticed Möbius's unusual behavior and immediately took her hand in concern.

The warmth made Möbius composed himself, then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I just saw a traitor."

The more respectful they were when they were in her lab, the more ruthless they were when they betrayed her.

"Yes, Grandma Mebius, don't be sad. My family and I will never bully you!"

"How could I possibly let others bully me?!"

He glared at Gretchen, and when she shrank back, Möbius's voice quickly softened: "That happened a long time ago, I don't care anymore."

"Ah."

Greta nodded, silently complaining to herself.

Despite being bullied so badly by Mr. Knight, Grandma Mebius, just as Alicia said, was only tough on the outside and tough on the inside.

However, although Grandma Möbius is so heartbroken, she can talk to the Knight, who is all-powerful and can definitely help Grandma Möbius get revenge!

"You don't need to tell that guy!"

Just as Gretchen was secretly thinking this, she soon heard Grandma Mebius's voice.

"Huh? How did Grandma Mebius know...?" Gretsch asked in surprise.

"Heh~ I've been with you for so long, how could I not see what's going on in your head?"

Aside from painting, all she does is go see that guy. He's just a man, is he really that attractive? Gretchen's eyes darted around; she knew exactly what the other person was thinking.

Subconsciously ignoring that he himself often urged that guy to go to the Möbius lab, Möbius continued, "She's just an arrogant and conceited idiot. If we need to rely on that guy to deal with her, I, Möbius, can't afford to lose face like that."

“Oh…” Gretchen nodded blankly.

Grandma Mebius was still being stubborn; she should secretly talk to Mr. Knight about it later.

After the representatives from Anti-Entropy and Shencheng Technology finished speaking, the representative from Destiny stepped forward.

With her white hair and blue eyes, her pure white dress accentuated her beautiful figure, and her long hair, styled up, revealed her delicate swan neck. Just looking at her, one could understand what maturity and gentleness truly meant.

"Cecilia?!"

Looking at the person coming on stage, Nangong Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, Yu, isn't this a surprise?"

“Indeed…” Nangong Yu nodded with her mouth open.

"I only found out a few days ago. My mom and dad are here to be in charge of the Destiny's virtual reality project, so my mom is representing us at the opening ceremony this time~" Kiana said happily.

"Cecilia's image is really good." I couldn't help but sigh.

Just by looking at the expressions of the people around her, you could tell that compared to Cocolia and Jackal's cool and capable demeanor, Cecilia's gentle image, which could melt your heart with just a smile, was much more attractive.

Meanwhile, in Xilin's live stream...

Although Sirin didn't start her live stream, the comments on the screen kept scrolling, waiting for the release of the new game PV for Gensokyo after the opening ceremony. Sirin had already set the start time for her live stream, and she would be among the first players to experience it in the virtual pod.

However, after Cecilia appeared, the live stream chat suddenly stopped for a moment, and after a while, a comment appeared weakly.

Hey guys, doesn't the representative of Destiny look a bit familiar?

"Hey buddy, stop talking, I'm getting a little scared..."

[I remember the one who used to bring fruit to Xilin and would always greet us...]

[Ahem, first of all, let me clarify, I never said that. I remember that during the initial live stream, quite a few brothers wanted to come here as the father of the pufferfish...]

[...Ha people, you're all refreshed.]

[I'm sweating buckets, guys! Did pufferfish really have such a powerful background?]

[My mother is a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Mandate organization, and she still plays games with everyone every day. I'm so upset about her.]

[Tears. 】

【...】

At first, everyone thought that the pufferfish and the old thief had a good relationship, which in their eyes was a big enough background. Who would have thought that the pufferfish was so well hidden?

And the pufferfish's mother, beautiful lady, how can you, with such a high status, still have such a gentle, wifely image? Who can resist that?!

Leaving aside the controversy in the live broadcast room, the opening ceremony performance officially began after all the representatives had finished speaking.

At this momentous occasion, the performances are sure to be recorded in history, so naturally, they should be done in the best way possible, which made Nangong Yu quite emotional.

While there are strange organizations in this world, they are not as rampant as in the previous life, turning a proper opening ceremony into a chaotic mess.

Sister Eden's appearance in the middle of the event brought the atmosphere of the entire venue to a new peak.

The dazzling gemstones, the elegant deep red dress, combined with Eden's outstanding face and curvaceous figure, made her an instant head-turner.

The melodious singing began, and Nangong Yu cheered along with the audience.

However, he always felt that Sister Eden was looking in his direction. Was it just his imagination?

Or is it that he's looking at Ellie, who's standing next to him?

Open a bounty

I only offered a bounty once when this book was first published, and I paid it all off a long time ago. I was thinking of offering another bounty now that it's a million words long.

One chapter for 60 monthly tickets, one chapter for 60 blades, one chapter for 5000 rewards. The bounty will last until the end of this big bookshelf event. Judging from last month's data, I shouldn't be able to add too many chapters. No problem, I'll pay it off soon. Give myself more motivation to write!

Thank you everyone for your support!!

Chapter 297 Kaguya: I Only Feel Heartache for My Brother~

The opening ceremony concluded with the host's impassioned closing remarks.

"Let's go, it's time for the next one."

Nangong Yu patted Alice, who was lying on his lap, and said to Bronya beside him.

"Hmm... Sleeping Beauty is asleep and needs the prince's magic to wake her up~"

Instead of getting up, Sister Aili hugged his waist even tighter and closed her eyes to read her narration.

"..."

There are so many people around.

But hearing Ai Li's coquettish voice, Nangong Yu couldn't resist in the end. She lowered her head and kissed Ai Li's rosy lips.

A warm, gentle touch followed. Just as Nangong Yu was about to get up and leave, Sister Aili suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, skillfully prying open his teeth. In an instant, a sweet sensation spread across his tongue.

The hard candy was transferred to her by Ellie; it was apple-flavored.

"Now, the prince has taken away the witch's curse, the princess has woken up, and they lived happily ever after. A happy ending for all!"

Opening her beautiful pink and blue eyes, Ellie spoke joyfully.

Boom!

"ah!!"

Suddenly, Sister Aili shrank back and covered her forehead, crying.

"So, I've become the witch who framed the princess?"

Eden appeared beside them at some point, arms crossed, looking 'kindly' at Ellie who was clutching her head and pretending to be in pain.

"Eden?"

Upon hearing Eden's voice, Ellie immediately dropped her act, her eyes widening as she happily stood up and hugged her, beaming as she said, "My dear Eden, of course you're a witch! The most beautiful and powerful witch in the world! You can charm countless beautiful young women with your lovely voice, how amazing!"

"You~"

Looking at Ellie with a chuckle, Nangong Yu quickly stood up and patted them on the shoulder.

"Stop chatting here and get out of here. You guys can go shopping together soon. Bronya, the others, and I will head back to the game's sub-venue first."

He was already quite conspicuous sitting there, but now that Eden had come over, he immediately noticed the restless audience members behind him and quickly stood up to remind them.

"Hmm, is there anywhere Ellie would like to go?"

Eden smiled gently at him, then looked at Ellie and said.

"Oh dear~ there's no rush to go out shopping, let's go to the game area and keep Ayu company today~"

Looking back at Nangong Yu, Sister Aili winked adorably.

"A new game? Hmm, I'd definitely like to give it a try."

Eden did not refuse and nodded with a smile.

"Just so you know, I might not have time to spend with you this morning~"

Leading the group outside, Nangong Yu spoke.

"Alright, it's not like we can't play without you."

Bronya muttered a complaint and pulled him along, quickening their pace.

The game-related press conference is about to begin; they'd better hurry.

Thanks to their connection with Gensokyo, they naturally secured spots to attend the press conference. Although they couldn't sit in the front row like Nangong Yu and the others, the group of girls together didn't feel lonely; they were just rather eye-catching.

At this moment, Xilin also took out her phone, intending to start a live stream.

On the black screen, the comments were already scrolling incessantly.

[Pufferfish, can you open the door?]

Please open the door, okay? Please.

[Hey, what happened? Why is everyone being so polite?]

[I'm so happy! I only found out today that pufferfish have such a big reputation; they were all quite frightened.]

[His initial assertiveness followed by obsequiousness is laughable.]

[Ha, a bunch of cowards, I'm not afraid! Pufferfish, open the door!!!]
