But this strange young man I met this time was very different from those people... no, from everyone else.

When he first saw himself, his surprise was mixed with a hint of... delight?

But for some reason, there's also a sense of...regret?

as if……

"Did you already know us?"

In Möbius's office, under the watchful eyes of Dr. Möbius and the others, Alicia smiled and asked Qin Yu a question that seemed rather strange to onlookers, "And, if I'm not mistaken, we're the kind of people who are particularly close and friendly?"

"..."

Qin Yu remained silent.

"?"

The others looked completely bewildered.

a long time……

Sometimes I really don't know whether to say you're admirable or terrifying.

He made this response.

There was neither explicit approval nor denial.

Regarding this...

"Seriously, can't you just be honest and say I'm cute?"

Alicia narrowed her eyes slyly.

"and many more."

Beside him, Möbius's brow furrowed even more deeply. "What kind of riddle are you two playing?"

A genius like her didn't like the feeling of being the only one kept in the dark.

Oh, you mean Kevin next to you is also completely confused, while Dr. May is resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought…

"You already knew us?"

"A particularly close and intimate relationship?"

The latter looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Excuse me, what is your name?"

"Lianshan".

"?"

Mebius, who was standing to the side with his ears perked up, couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say your name was Chen Tianwu?"

Seeing her suddenly interrupt...

"Oh, then let's use it for now."

"..."

Mebius felt that he had been blatantly tricked by the other party.

But Qin Yu remained completely unfazed, sitting there nonchalantly... and even crossed his legs.

"As I said before, since you don't appreciate my return gift, there are some things I will only tell the most suitable person."

Qin Yu shifted his gaze from Mebius to Alicia, saying, "We have indeed known each other for a long time, but our way of getting along is quite different from that of friends in the traditional sense."

"In short, if you want to know more about this... or if you want to further satisfy your little curiosity, then I'll tell you slowly when we have a chance to be alone in the future."

He then looked at the others in the room, "After all, even someone as mediocre as me should have figured it out by now..."

"Some things can only be said to the people you trust the most."

"Otherwise, you'll just be making a fool of yourself."

Having said that, Qin Yu glanced at Mebius.

Then he fell silent.

He stood up from his omnidirectional chair, preparing to leave the office.

"Please wait a moment."

Dr. Mei raised her hand to stop him, "I have some more questions..."

Let's call it a day.

Qin Yu interrupted her, casually pointing to the others, "You have other things to discuss, don't you?"

"I consciously avoided that."

Finally, he looked at Möbius once again, "It seems I'll have to stay here and freeload for a few more days."

"We can talk about it later."

After saying this, Qin Yu left the bedroom alone.

This time, Dr. Mei did not stop him.

But watching his retreating figure disappear into the closed doorway...

"Alicia, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Dr. Mei seemed to have some ulterior motives, and immediately asked this question.

Upon hearing this, the pink-haired girl's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled with narrowed eyes, saying, "An interesting person, isn't she?"

She did not elaborate on exactly how interesting it was.

Does it refer to his personality, or... his identity?

Or perhaps it involves all aspects?

At this time...

"Mei, have you discovered something too?"

Kevin, who had been present but hadn't said much, asked a question out of curiosity.

In response, the former shook his head and said helplessly, "It's just some unrealistic speculation, but the current information is seriously insufficient to make further inferences."

"Oh well, let's verify these things with him later."

After a slight sigh, she turned her gaze to the occupant of the office. "Dr. Möbius, let's get the important matters settled first."

"The creation of the Eighth Divine Key..."

******

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Look, it's out here."

"Hey buddy, why did you leave without saying goodbye tonight?"

Qin Yu had just stepped out of Mebius's office when he was approached by a pair of twin sisters.

Although the two women are only different in eye color, and are almost identical in appearance and figure, they inexplicably exude two completely opposite temperaments.

One person is lively and energetic, while the other appears calm and languid.

The former is a bit like a clumsy, lively character, while the latter... seems to be a hidden schemer?

It's not hard to see that Qin Yu is quite familiar with them.

Because, in the past week...

"If you leave, where will I find you to hear those stories?"

"Didn't we agree to work together and make a lot of money?"

"..."

Qin Yu's lips twitched.

Well, these two little devils really are something else.

He thought that their rush to find him after learning of his return was because they couldn't bear to part with their new friend.

It turns out... he was more interested in the stories he had 'transported' from his home planet Earth.

"You guys really only play for real."

Qin Yu couldn't help but complain like this.

Speaking of the twin sisters in front of us...

My older sister's name is Cangxuan. She has deep blue eyes and is a real money-grubber.

My younger sister's name is Danzhu. She has crimson eyes and is... well, a total otaku who loves anime and manga subcultures.

Over the past few days, the two of them have been the ones who have been helping Qin Yu with his rehabilitation training.

In his spare time, Qin Yu would sometimes transform into a plagiarist and tell them stories that did not exist in the current world.

such as:

"After the War of Destiny ended, what happened to Kiana who drifted to the beach? And what about Himeko-sensei...?"

"What about the rest of the story? I've finished the programming and modeling, just waiting to record..."

At this moment, both of Qin Yu's arms had been forcibly taken over by these two little devils.

Well, how should I put it?

He seems to be... enjoying it quite a bit.

Chapter Nine: One Man and Two Women Late at Night (Just kidding)

That said, although the twin sisters Cangxuan and Danzhu are a miserly little money-grubber with hidden dryness and a lively otaku with otaku traits, their scientific research and technical abilities are truly remarkable.

After all, she was someone who could serve as Möbius's assistant for a long time. (PS: Although that rascal always gets the data wrong, often unnecessarily increasing Klein's workload.)

These days, Qin Yu could certainly see that even though Mebius was not well-liked by outsiders, the First Research Institute didn't want just anyone.

This person has very high standards; it's not that they lack people or are indiscriminate in their acceptance of anyone.
