After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

Anliang nodded in agreement with Bronya's statement.

Although they disagreed on what kind of dinner to have, Bronya and Bronya shared the same opinion on other things—after working overtime, who has the time or inclination to cook for themselves?!

"I understand you're busy working overtime, but you should always think about your health."

Seele frowned slightly and began to scold, "Bronya isn't short of money, why does she have to eat junk food all day? And Anliang, when Bronya dragged you to eat this, you should have just refused..."

The young girl was like an old mother who worried about her children, always feeling that nothing was healthy except for the food she cooked herself. Bronya and Anliang were speechless under Seele's maternal care and could only listen obediently like children.

After about ten minutes, Seele finally stopped lecturing and separated the lunchbox in her hand from Anliang's and Bronya's.

"Let's leave Bronya's question here for today. Let's have dinner first. It should still be warm, but I started making it after get off work, so I was a bit rushed and the dishes aren't very varied."

"It's okay, I like to eat anything that Seele makes."

Bronya quickly said, her expression as if she had been granted a pardon as she took the lunchbox.

"Indeed, it's better than eating canned food."

An Liang nodded repeatedly, inwardly marveling at how much the timeline had indeed changed.

During his reincarnation, Seele was more like Bronya's little follower, basically taking Bronya's lead. But as they grew up, the sisters' positions were completely reversed, with Seele taking care of Bronya more often.

An Liang wasn't particularly surprised by this.

Seele is gentle, kind, and caring, and with the addition of a yandere Black Seele inside her, the girl's desire for control is stronger than it seems. It's perfectly normal for a homebody like Da Ya Ya to be manipulated by Seele in her daily life!

Aside from Bronya, the others at Cocolia's orphanage will probably have to listen to Seele, like Rosalia and Lilia... I wonder how those twin rascals are doing; I'll ask them when I get the chance.

Anliang opened the lid of the lunchbox while letting his thoughts wander.

P.S.: Good luck to all my fellow book lovers taking the college entrance exam! When you're interviewed after the exam, you might consider promoting the author's book (laughs). If you don't run into any reporters after the exam, you can still give a shout-out when you're interviewed after getting into Tsinghua or Peking University!

Chapter 155 Don't you dare take the captain away from me!

"Wow, golden legend!"

The moment Anliang opened the lunchbox, he saw a golden hue through the rising steam.

However, unlike the glowing dishes in food comics with full special effects, the reason he could see specks of gold light was because the dinner that Seele prepared was this color.

"A rich and mellow egg aroma, a golden and fluffy omelet, this... this is omelet rice made by Seele herself!"

Bronya took a deep breath of the aroma of the food that spread with the steam, and a glint of light appeared in her light gray eyes, as if she had thought of something.

"Speaking of omelet rice, a magic spell to make it taste even better is essential, right?"

"Uh, we're not in some maid cafe, does having a meal really need to be so heavily influenced by anime/manga culture...?"

Although Anliang is the lead artist for Galgames and also an artist in the adult entertainment industry, he was stunned for several seconds after hearing Bronya's words before he understood what she meant.

"You don't understand, this is called a sense of ritual."

Bronya shook her head and retorted seriously, "Anliang, look, in anime, when omelet rice appears, it's almost always accompanied by a magic spell to make it more delicious. Do you know why?"

"Uh, to make the audience feel cute and healed?"

An Liang thought for a moment and then shared his professional understanding.

“Well said!” Bronya snapped her fingers. “So, don’t you think that in this cold and boring reality, we need cute magical spells like these to heal ourselves?”

No, in reality, saying this magic spell is just a way to scam money from otaku and then sell the omelet rice for ten times the price...

Anliang silently complained to himself, realizing that the beautiful filter he once had for the world of anime and manga had been completely gone.

Before failing the exam, he still had the ideal of making the world of anime great again, but after going through hundreds of cycles with the Cocoon of the End, his heart was already colder than Kevin's body temperature, and he only wanted to earn enough money to get married.

"So, what is the magic spell to make something delicious?"

Seele tilted her head, looking at Anliang and Bronya who seemed to be having an encrypted conversation, and gave them a puzzled look.

Almost forgot, Seele is different from the rest of the game developers; her understanding of anime is probably limited to the Houmu and giant robot figurines that Bronya bought.

"Let me recall, magic spells are used like this..."

Anliang demonstrated to Seele directly through his actions, raising an index finger to draw a heart shape over Bronya's omelet rice, and then chanting like a shaman shaking his head.

"Extremely soft, incredibly fragrant, an amazing, heart-fluttering magic—let the omelet rice become delicious!"

"Zero points for actions, zero points for tone, and zero points for expression... Anliang, you're not warm and comforting at all, you sound more like a dark wizard cursing!"

Bronya looked at Anliang, who was reading the poem in a monotone voice, and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "No matter how delicious the omelet rice is, it will become unpalatable after you do this!"

"You have too many demands. I'm not a cute maid. It's already good enough that I can recite a word for you."

Anliang sighed helplessly.

Seele watched the captain and her sister bickering, a smile playing on her lips, as if she had returned to the past.

"So this is the magic spell to make things taste better. I understand now. If Bronya needs it..."

"Extremely soft and tender~ Incredibly fragrant~ An amazing, heart-fluttering magic! Mr. Omelette Rice, please become delicious~?"

Compared to Anliang's monotone reading, Xier clearly put in more emotion; her voice was soft and sweet, and her gesture of making a heart shape with her hands while eating the omelet rice was incredibly gentle.

It's a spell that's actually quite embarrassing to say in real life...

But looking at Seele's serious face, An Liang seemed to feel a little healed.

Bronya's reaction was even more exaggerated; she picked up a spoon and kept putting the omelet rice into her mouth, her expression full of satisfaction.

"Delicious! The perfect balance of acidity and sweetness from the tomato sauce blends together beautifully, and the semi-solid eggs are smooth and delicious. It's such a heartwarming home-cooked dinner!"

"Hey, I'm glad Bronya likes it."

"Xier said happily, then looked at Anliang with her beautiful, deep blue eyes and said expectantly, "Anliang, would you like to cast a magic spell to make something delicious too?"

"Me? I guess I don't need it..."

Just as An Liang was about to refuse, a cell phone rang.

It wasn't his phone, it was Bronya's, and Anliang seemed to see Lao Yang's name in the caller ID section.

"I'm going to take this call. You two can continue your conversation."

Bronya, having quickly finished her omelet, picked up her phone and walked to the studio's rest area, presumably to discuss some internal matters of Anti-Entropy with Lao Yang.

I wonder when Big Duck will inherit Anti-Entropy, and whether the Principle Studio will be disbanded as a result. But before that, he should be able to earn enough money for his wedding...

As An Liang pondered, he felt a finger poking his cheek.

Looking back, the once kind and innocent girl had somehow developed a hint of madness, her beautiful reddened eyes staring at him with hostility.

"You rascal, you actually rejected Seele's kindness just now."

"I just think that even without any spells, Seele's omelet rice is delicious."

An Liang remained calm and soothed Hei Xi'er with just a few words, clearly demonstrating his extensive experience.

"I didn't expect you to be so good with words!"

"To be honest, this omelet rice is really delicious. The eggs are cooked just right, the fried rice has a variety of ingredients, and it even has a bit of wok hei (wok aroma)."

Anliang took a bite of the omelet rice. Underneath the smooth egg, the distinct grains of fried rice contained fragrant onions, corn, peas, and ham, and tasted sweet and sour with the ketchup.

Although not as good as Mei and Rita's level...

But as far as home cooking goes, Seele's is already quite good, at least better than Alicia's.

"Hmph, actually, Seele's specialty is desserts, which are even better than omelet rice."

Black Seele puffed out her chest with a hint of pride. For her, praising White Seele was more satisfying than praising herself.

"Really? I'll definitely try it if I get the chance."

An Liang raised an eyebrow and spoke while eating.

"This is very simple."

The girl's personality switched to Bai Xier, with a gentle smile on her face, "The party is in a day or two, I'll cook a little extra for everyone."

"That's fantastic! Fu Hua and Xiao Shi are really looking forward to this gathering!"

An Liang took another bite of the fragrant omelet rice and casually remarked, unaware of the determined glint in the girl's slightly lowered, beautiful eyes.

Are you looking forward to it...? Everyone's really looking forward to the party, and Seele is no exception...

The Captain's fiancée will also be attending the party the day after tomorrow. Let Seele see who is the one who managed to win over the Captain so early!

The girl's heart was heavy, but at the same time, a strong fighting spirit burned fiercely within her.

No matter how strong that woman named Alicia is, she is not allowed to take the captain away from Seele!

PS: LOL, I glanced at the latest Honkai Impact 3rd storyline and thought Seele would use the Black Abyss White Flower to revive Coralie, but instead she directly used the Dragon Transformation Technique to embark on the path to immortality and win the resurrection match. It's just that the art style of Coralie's new dog-headed dragon form is not very good... But to be fair, this is the genuine immortal power directly passed down from the Dragonborn. I'm afraid even Dan Heng from the Star Iron side would call him ancestor.

Chapter 156 Captain: This is my fiancée, Alicia

Saturday, October 6.

Suitable for: moving into a new house, holding gatherings. Unsuitable for: marriage, praying for offspring.

Xiao Shi turned his gaze away from the calendar, took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, then pretended to do some calculations with his fingers.

“Yes, today is an auspicious day, perfect for celebrating Bronya’s new house.”

"Old man, let's hurry up, don't keep those two sisters waiting!"

Fu Hua, who was moving things with An Liang not far away, heard Xiao Shi's voice and replied calmly, "It's still a long time before the time I made an appointment with Bronya. I think you're just getting impatient, aren't you?"

"Oh dear, they're all about the same."

Xiao Shi shook his head and darted over to Fu Hua and An Liang. "So, what are you guys moving? Need a hand?"

"There's always food and drink at parties, so when we visit someone's home, we should bring some ingredients and good wine."

Anliang didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked Xiaoshi to help carry a box of top-grade vodka given by Eden.

As everyone knows, the best gift for Russians is vodka, even for Bronya and Seele. Anliang hasn't forgotten that when Big Duck invited him to dinner, he directly served him a cup of flammable oolong tea.

"Goodness, so much wine! Are you planning to drink until you drop?"

Xiao Shi weighed the case of vodka in his hand, his expression one of surprise.

"This is just a gift; it doesn't mean we have to finish it today."

Fu Hua pointed to the large pile of ingredients in her and An Liang's hands and said to Xiao Shi, "These are all for the barbecue party. In addition, Xi'er has already made desserts and is waiting for us. There are more delicious things than wine."

"Wow, I knew I was in for a treat!"

Xiao Shi whistled cheerfully, her steps light even while carrying a large box of vodka.

An Liang looked at the energetic Xiao Shi and a smile appeared on his lips. He and Fu Hua quickly followed and walked to the outside of the villa, where Alicia had already driven out the car and was waiting there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, shall we go and enjoy this wonderful party?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Alicia looked even more excited than Xiao Shi, completely behaving like a social terrorist.

I had heard about Bronya's sister from Anliang and Hua before, and all I knew was that she was a simple and kind girl. I had never met her before, but today I finally had the chance to get to know her.

Hmph, Miss Pink Fairy loves making friends, especially cute girls like Seele!

Anliang sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and looked at the excited Alicia beside him, feeling somewhat conflicted.

He always gives the impression of taking his current wife to see his ex-wives, and not just one, but two ex-wives...

An Liang knew that this was all his own illusion; the events that happened in the cycle of reincarnation had nothing to do with the current timeline.

For some reason, Anliang had a bad feeling, and his eyelids twitched slightly.

Sigh, it seems that those emotional experiences in the cycle of reincarnation have had a significant impact on him. Bronya and Seele don't have any memories of the past, so even if he met Alicia, it wouldn't matter. It's just that he can't treat her with a normal attitude.

An Liang rubbed his temples, and suddenly his thoughts began to wander...

What would happen if the Valkyries of the Hyperion still had memories of the past and discovered that they were engaged to Alicia?

Anliang got the answer in less than a second.

It will explode, it definitely will explode!

Although Earth no longer has Honkai energy and Kiana and the others have become ordinary people, the power they can mobilize is still astounding.
