In the light screen, Mei watched Gretchen walk away, her gaze returning to Mebius.

"From being an auntie to a little sister now, how did Gretchen confirm that you are Möbius?"

After including the demon horns and high heels that come with the Herrscher of Thunder's power, Mei already has a figure as tall as a giant.

Compared to Mei, the petite and delicate Mebius seemed like a little girl who hadn't grown up.

Only Mebius's mature yet playful face, and his chest that far surpasses Fu Hua's, can prove that Mebius is at least in his early teens.

Although Mei in the light screen had never seen Mebius's mature older sister appearance before, she seemed to know that Mebius would shrink after each rebirth, and asked about it.

"..."

When Mei casually mentioned "Aunt Möbius," which was quickly swept away in the conversation, Möbius's eyes narrowed slightly, as if a hidden power was brewing within them.

However, because Mei was discussing it so seriously, even if she brought it up on purpose with malicious intent, Mebius didn't have enough evidence to take action.

So Mebius remained silent for a moment, withdrew the power he was gathering, and smiled slightly, mocking Mei's ignorance:

"You wouldn't understand, you little guinea pig~"

Children recognize others more by smell and sound than by sight... and these don't change much with body size.

"...?"

Mei listened to Mebius's explanation with a suspicious look, sizing up the childlike Mebius in front of her.

Is her voice, with its childlike innocence and sharpness, really not much different from when she was a mature older sister?

Mei is more inclined to believe that Gretchen recognizes people by their "color" than Mebius's explanation.

"Wow~ it was totally worth giving her so much candy back then~"

Ignoring Mei's disapproving and suspicious gaze, Möbius cupped his face, a nostalgic expression on his face as if recalling the past.

Then, Mebius's expression of reminiscing about the past vanished, and he frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with Mei's changed gaze once again:

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mei had been thinking about something since earlier: Mebius claimed that "she used to give Gretchen a lot of candy."

In Mei's opinion, this was highly suspicious behavior.

If it were just an ordinary neighborhood auntie, giving Grey a little candy would be perfectly normal.

But Mebius is not a neighbor you can find anywhere.

She is Möbius, a cutting-edge scientist who chases fire like a moth, and also the most dangerous woman, as venomous as a snake.

Mei couldn't help but suspect that this guy might have done something outrageous to Gretsch.

Even though Möbius violated many ethical norms as a scientist in order to fight against [illegal activities], he absolutely forbade anything involving children.

Therefore, Mei expressed complete skepticism towards Möbius:

"The candy you gave Gretchen... wasn't anything strange, was it?"

"What? Do I look like the kind of person who would do that kind of thing?"

Although Mebius spoke in a serious tone, even with a somewhat aggrieved look, he neither confirmed nor denied it, and his flippant tone remained as always.

Mebius always talks like that, making people itchy and anxious.

However, Mei wasn't buying it.

For a straightforward and honest person like her, she wouldn't be stumped by Mebius's perplexing question.

"picture"

Mei nodded bluntly, clearly meaning, "You're a heartless person who would experiment on children."

When Mebius saw Mei interrupt her question so bluntly, his smile vanished instantly, and he stared at her coldly like a venomous snake that had shed its sweet facade and revealed its fangs:

"...Little lab rat, have you been getting more and more arrogant lately?"

Mebius's voice carried a dangerous undertone, even tinged with angry gnashing of teeth.

However, Möbius quickly concealed his anger, letting out a soft snort to show that he was magnanimous and wouldn't hold a grudge.

"Hmph, Gretchen was so happy eating the candy I gave her back then."

Mei remained skeptical, but Mebius's menacing gaze signaled that if she dared to speak out of turn again, something truly terrible would happen.

Just as the topic was about to end, a screen of light appeared in front of them.

Just as if sincerely wanting to tell Mei whether "Mebius actually messed with Gretchen," the title appeared on the screen.

[Mébius is so kind to little Greta, quickly say thank you to Aunt Mébius.]

………………

………………

Outside the light screen, everyone at St. Freya Academy stared wide-eyed at the scene on the screen!

A light screen appeared in front of Mebius and Mei, just like the one in the light screen itself!

What is this?! A picture within a picture?!

Why are videos related to Möbius always so surprising and strange?!

It was the future Mebius who completely broke through the technology of the light screen and, in order to clarify himself, took the initiative to bring up a picture-in-picture effect!

So, does this mean that everyone at St. Freya Academy could also be tracked and located by Möbius through the light screen?!

Although it sounds unbelievable, Mebius is such an awe-inspiring figure that everyone felt a sense of unease!

Then, the image on the light screen reassured everyone.

because……

The screen still showed Gretchen calling her "Auntie".

even……

[Calling her "auntie" is one thing, but calling her "grandma" is another?!]

Greta is going to drive Möbius crazy!

Chapter 228 Little Sister Alicia

Mebius and Mei, inside the light screen, were clearly seeing it for the first time. They stared in astonishment at the thing that had suddenly appeared in the Golden Garden, their expressions as if they had been invaded and were facing a formidable enemy.

It seems that the people who saw the light screen in the previous timeline, without affecting the future timeline, have branched off into other world lines?

In short, Mebius and Mei, inside the light barrier, were on high alert, believing that the light barrier, which even Mebius couldn't break through, was likely the only "Herrscher of Erosion" capable of infiltrating the Golden Garden.

The scene displayed on the light screen made both of them widen their eyes in astonishment.

Because in the light screen was actually Mebius, who was a mature older sister many years ago!

Mei, visible through the light screen, was clearly seeing the giant Mébius for the first time, looking at the still-little Mébius beside her with surprise and astonishment.

Although she knew that Mebius used to be bigger, the difference still gave her a strange look.

Mebius's eyes narrowed slightly, as if a terrible rage was brewing from witnessing his past being spied on, or perhaps from anger that this "intruder" dared to attempt to harm Gretsch's past.

………………

………………

"What an adorable child! What's their name?"

"Gresh, isn't that a lovely name?"

In the painting within a painting, Mebius, who was then the older sister, met Gretchen, who was still a baby, for the first time.

She teased the adorable little girl and asked questions of the woman who was as beautiful as Gretchen but more mature.

It was obvious that it was Blanca, Gretchen's mother and Möbius's former assistant.

The little girl in Blanca's arms was as beautiful as a crystal porcelain doll, her big, blinking eyes looking at Mebius with curiosity, showing no fear whatsoever.

Perhaps it's because when Mebius met Blanca and Gretchen, the expression on his face was that of a gentle, approachable older sister.

That gentle expression was more tender than any of the previous Mebius appearances on the screen.

Although she's still a baby, Gretchen can already eat some sweets, so Mebius prepared some nutritious candies to help her grow.

Then, Möbius and Blanca, his former assistant whom he deeply regretted, began to reminisce about the past:

"The previous experiment caused me to miss your engagement, your wedding, the birth of your child, and Gretchen's 100-day celebration."

"How about I give you the gifts now?"

Blanca accepted the many gifts Mébius had prepared for the children with a smile, not minding her absence.

Having once been Möbius's assistant, Blanca knew best how important and cutting-edge Möbius's experiments were.

That concerns the fate of all humanity. How could Blanca let her own life affect Möbius?

Mebius had many opinions about Blanca "having her own life."

"Honestly, you could have been a scientist, albeit less talented than me, but you were fooled by a man."

In Möbius's view, this guy was completely wasting his good genes.

"But thankfully, you still remembered to introduce Klein to me before you left."

"Klein is a very good assistant. As long as she doesn't get tricked by a man, she will definitely become a better assistant than you. It's your fault for leaving halfway through..."

Blanca accepted Möbius's grumbling with a smile, and was even happier that Klein had become such a trusted assistant to Möbius.

Blanca, with her baby, and Gretchen's conversation with Möbius gradually faded into the distance. Time flew by in this painting-within-a-painting, and another year or two passed in the blink of an eye.

Gretchen has grown from a babbling little girl into a beloved pet who can now hop and skip around the Fire Moth's base on her own.

The painting within a painting shows that when Gretchen welcomes her mother back from her mission, Mebius can also be seen occasionally.

At those times, Mebius would smile and give the little girl some delicious candy, hoping the nutritious candy would help strengthen Gretsch's physique.
