Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"This...this is all due to force majeure." Yeonjoo turned her head away guiltily.

Isaac ate ​​his pizza while watching them.

Before I knew it, there were already three little girls living in my house.

Chapter 281: Three Little Girls

After eating and drinking his fill, Isaac started watching TV.

Just as the Holy Emperor said, none of the television stations reported the news that the megalith was about to collapse.

Furthermore, Isaac had previously received a message from a station director, the same one whose daughter he had previously threatened.

According to him, the situation in Tokyo is not optimistic, and he has even considered fleeing with his family and valuables.

After constantly changing channels, Isaac still couldn't find many shows to watch, and occasionally he would come across negative news about the cursed child.

Although Isaac and Hiruko have controlled most of the radio stations in the Tokyo area, they really can't control the Sendai and Osaka areas.

To prevent the three little girls next to him from having any negative feelings, Isaac turned off the program and connected the console to the TV to start playing games.

Isaac was playing a game, but the three little girls seemed to be discussing something.

Yeonju: "Have you noticed anything wrong?"

Tina: "What?"

Xia Shi: "?"

Enju looked at the two of them mysteriously and said, "Normally, I sleep in one room with Natsume, while Rentaro sleeps in another. But Tina's arrival here today means..."

Tina swallowed hard.

“One of us needs to go to Rentaro’s room.”

"..."

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

"So!" Enju stood up and patted her chest, saying, "To ensure that Rentaro, a boy in his adolescence, makes a move on you, this arduous task is entrusted to me..."

"Trying to take advantage of the chaos again, Miss Enju?" Chizu Natsuyo asked calmly.

"Well……"

"I wouldn't mind sharing a room with my brother," Tina said with a smile.

Xia Shi: "Besides, even if the three of us kids squeezed into one room, it would probably be..."

"Waaah... I don't care anymore! No matter what, I am Rentaro's initiator and partner! Going to his room is perfectly reasonable!" Enju shouted.

"Please stop being unreasonable, Miss Enju." Chizu Natsuyo's voice remained calm.

"Hmph! Then I'll go ask myself!"

Yeonju walked up to Isaac, who was still playing video games, and sullenly stood in front of him.

"Rentaro!"

"What is it?" Isaac didn't turn his head, continuing to rub the controller.

“I’d like to stay in Rentaro’s room tonight,” Enju said.

"Oh, no problem."

"Really!?" Enju exclaimed in surprise.

Tina looked unhappy, while Chizu Natsuyo remained calm.

"Then tonight will be the time for me and Rentaro to share the same bed..."

“Oh, that’s impossible.” Isaac held up a game box with a picture of a person covered in armor and surrounded by flames.

The box also had the words 'Dark SoulVI' written on it.

"I'm playing games all night tonight, feel free to stay in my room if you want."

"..."

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

Nighttime.

The three girls who were sleeping in the room, Tina, suddenly opened her small eyes and walked towards the door.

She went outside and walked toward Isaac, who was still in the living room.

"Brother, aren't you asleep yet?"

“Yeah, he’s pretty energetic now,” Isaac said.

However, he didn't look well.

"Did I disturb my brother?"

“No, there’s nothing to disturb.” Isaac’s face darkened as he looked at the words ‘you die’ on the screen.

"I've died twenty times in the three hours I've been playing, and I haven't even beaten the first boss. This game is targeting me, isn't it?" Isaac looked at the game box with a grim expression. "I really want to blow up the game's creator and their studio."

However, because of this, Isaac's attention shifted from the screen to Tina, who was standing next to him.

Tina sat down next to Isaac and gently leaned her petite body against him.

“If I were still with Professor Rand, I would never have been able to experience this dreamlike life. I’ve always wanted an older brother like Mr. Rentaro.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Isaac with a pitiful expression: "So you don't mind calling me brother during this time, right?"

“It doesn’t matter when I’m at home, but at the company… I don’t think I have a specific position here, so whatever you want,” Isaac said.

"Thank you," Tina said with a smile.

Then, she looked at Isaac with a resolute gaze: "Tina Sprantt, ranked ninety-eighth on the IISO login list, was arrested by Rentaro Satomi, ranked fifteenth, and has already died once. Being alive now is like having a second life—so please, brother, do as you please."

Isaac then lowered his arm and looked at Tina, while Tina looked back at Isaac.

A few seconds later, Isaac laughed and said, "Not bad eyesight. It seems you've already formed your own will."

"Yes!"

"Then please take care of me from now on, Tina."

"Yes, brother."

Just then, they heard a 'thump' and Yeonjoo, dressed in cute pajamas, ran out of the room where they had been sleeping.

"Tina! What happened to trust between people? Why did you run away?!"

Although it was pitch black all around except for the monitor, and the lighting was dim, Yeonju's sullen expression was still visible.

Tina looked at Enju expressionlessly: "Miss Enju, I didn't want to launch a sneak attack either. Let's make things clear now—I'm serious about my brother, and I won't back down whether it's Miss Enju or President Tendo."

Yeonju wore a betrayed expression.

"...But...but we just agreed that in order to defeat the enemy before us—the 'King of the Chest,' Kisara—we must unite..."

Isaac: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to address the boss like that?"

"Rentaro, the one who was captured by Kisara's two lumps of fat on his chest, don't speak!"

Isaac: "???"

Tina's eyes gradually sharpened: "That's what I thought at first too. President Tendo's big and bouncy breasts are indeed a threat. But think about it, I only have one brother. Even if I take my brother away from President Tendo, I will still have to fight a bloody battle with Ms. Enju. Therefore, I have never needed any companions from the beginning."

Although Isaac didn't understand what Tina was saying, he still felt that the lines were inexplicably cool.

"And I seem to have an advantage over Miss Enju's flat figure..."

"Aaaaah!! Tina, you traitor! You philanderer!" Enju screamed, clutching her head.

There was a commotion outside, and Chizu Natsuyo, who was still lying in the room, slowly opened her eyes.

“You don’t even know Mr. Isaac’s true identity, so you’ve never been competing on the same level from the beginning.”

After saying that, he gave a slightly smug smile and closed his eyes again.

Chapter 282: The Cruel Law

The night was long, and Yeonju couldn't stay awake any longer and went straight to her room to sleep.

Isaac continued to rub the controller and stare at the screen through gritted teeth, while Tina quietly stayed by his side. As the originator of the owl factor, she was very energetic at night.

She leaned on Isaac's shoulder, staring at the screen in front of him that displayed 'you died'.

The next morning.

"Hey, Satomi-kun? I'm coming in." Kisara's voice came from outside the door.

Seeing no response from inside, she used a spare key to open the door.

"Satomi, I'm here to take Tina back today..."

Just then, she saw Isaac fast asleep, clutching a game controller, while Tina curled up beside him and drifted off to sleep.

"Honestly, Satomi, your lifestyle has become like a child's since you lost your memory. You even played games all night until you fell asleep." Kisara smiled wryly as he walked towards Isaac.

Isaac woke up at that moment and, seeing Kisara dressed in a black sailor uniform, said, "Boss, you're here? Do you have work to do?"

“Today’s requests are all simple; the other officers can handle them,” Kisara said. “I’m here to pick up Tina.”

Strictly speaking, Tina was under the management of Tendo Kisara, meaning she was Kisara's originator.

“Oh, Tina,” Isaac said, looking at Tina sleeping beside him. “Right here.”

“I slept alone last night, feeling lonely. Lately, I can’t fall asleep without holding Tina,” Kisara said with a smile.

"Please don't talk about me like a body pillow, President Tendo."

Tina woke up at that moment.

"Good morning, Tina. Did you have fun at the Satomi house?" Kisara asked with a smile.

Tina nodded and smiled:

"Last night was really fun. Although my brother works very hard and can be a little scary at times, I'm still very happy that he taught me so many things."

"scare!"

Kisara was quite shocked by those words, especially considering that Tina wasn't properly dressed in her pajamas...
