Manager, give me a membership card too!

"Oh dear~ I guessed right. It's okay, Master, as long as you say you love me, Euryale can love you too."

The petite goddess smiled and stroked the man's arm, engaging in the 'game' that she and Luo Xia had played countless times before.

But Euryale, lost in her playful mood, didn't know that today's Rorschach wasn't the usual Rorschach who was woken up every morning by his bedmate's "good morning" greeting, followed by a refreshing shower, and then left the house feeling invigorated. That Rorschach was interested in playing harmless games with Euryale to lighten her mood. But today, he wanted to do some extra games.

"I love you, Euryale."

The man's calm voice startled the petite goddess who was snuggling close to him, frozen in place. This wasn't part of their usual, coordinated game. Normally, they would tease each other verbally, and after about ten minutes of this "battle," the goddess would reward herself with a warm hug, a sweet kiss, and then end the day's game, looking forward to tomorrow's.

But now, Rorschach has skipped all the steps and gone straight to the final one. The last time something like this happened was...

Before the goddess could recall that unforgettable night, a pair of hot, large hands gripped her slender waist, gently lifting her off the soft sand and slowly aligning their previously unequal gazes.

The man's dark eyes burned with passion, while the woman's purple eyes darted away.

Euryale nervously tensed her small, exquisitely beautiful feet, which were still covered with a few grains of sand reflecting the sunlight, her delicate feet that had just been on the white sand. Her cute, round toes, like pearls, swayed slowly in the air.

"Rorschach, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, I (Stheno) am right here. If she sees you, you're finished!"

The goddess in his hands was as light as a feather, as exquisite as a doll made by the most skilled puppeteer. Rorschach gently cradled his 'goddess,' who belonged only to him, and slowly made his way behind a reef.

“Now that Stheno can’t see, even if she could, she wouldn’t bother us.”

Euryale's face stiffened. The clever girl had already gleaned something from Rorschach's words, but that didn't mean she would surrender so easily. She was Euryale, the most perfect goddess; how could she be so easily defeated...?

"Rorschach, what do you mean? Put me down! I heard Anna calling me. You don't want that little guy to see us like this, do you?"

"Last time, you used this excuse to run away."

"I really heard it!"

Faced with the stubborn resistance of the goddess, Luo Xia didn't waste any words. He wrapped one arm around her slender waist, freed one hand to take out his phone from his pocket, and directly dialed the number of the cat-eared cloaked girl.

Two beeps came through the intercom, followed by Anna's clear, girlish voice.

“Hello, this is Anna. Lord Rorschach, what can I do for you? I’m currently leading the Valkyries on a patrol of the border at Yggdrasil, so it’s not convenient to talk for too long.”

Rorschach glanced smugly at Euryale, who was slumped in his arms like a defeated hen, and said with a hint of amusement:

"It's nothing. Your sister Euryale needs to talk to you, but she forgot her phone, so she borrowed mine to call you."

Smiling, Rorschach handed his phone to Euryale, who was turning her head away from him, and waved his hand, indicating that the goddess should answer the call.

Yuri gave the man a fierce (and cute) glare, snatched the phone from Rorschach's hand, said a few words, hung up, and turned to the man, saying irritably:

"Aren't you afraid I'll call Anna to come and save me?"

"Don't be afraid." Luo Xia, having put his phone away, once again cradled the slender goddess in his hands. This time, however, the goddess had a new support. ***.

“***”

***.

***.

***

***

"If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."

Looking at the little goddess in front of him, who was looking around and was completely ready but still refused to admit defeat, Luo Xia's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"No, no. It's too shameful. How can I say something like that?"

"But you often say you love me, so why is it okay then but not now?"

"You idiot Rorschach, how can these two be the same?!"

"So, do you love me, Euryale?"

Seeing Rorschach's expression suddenly become very serious as he asked her if she loved him, Euryale blushed, turned her head, and whispered a few syllables.

'I love you'

***

***.

"I......"

***.

***'.

"***"

"***"

The girl's toes, as smooth and round as pearls, slowly tensed...

................................................

The sun slowly set, painting the distant sea with a brilliant red glow, magnificent and beautiful, just like Euryale's pretty face at that moment, breathtakingly beautiful.

Gently helping the limp girl in his arms put on the light purple dress, Luo Xia, feeling refreshed, lightly kissed her forehead. Holding the goddess, who was lost in thought due to some intense emotion, he gazed contentedly at the sunset that had already mostly sunk below the horizon.

There is no time in life that passes by faster than now.

Beach, sea breeze, sunset, and beautiful women—Rorschach wished time could last forever.

Unfortunately, Luo Xia's current abilities are not enough to manipulate time, so he inevitably encounters some very awkward situations. For example, he had just played some harmless games with his younger sister when he turned around and saw his older sister silently smiling at him.

"Uh, hehe, hello there, Stheno."

"Good day, Lord Rorschach. May I ask if you could return my sister to me?"

Holding the still-dazed Euryale in his arms, Rorschach scratched his head awkwardly. He jumped off the boulder he was beneath, handing Euryale to Stheno as he asked somewhat sheepishly:

"May I ask when you arrived?"

"About half an hour ago. After all, the Invisible Island isn't that big."

Half an hour ago? That must have been exactly...

As if recalling something, Rorschach's arm stiffened, almost causing him to drop the goddess in his arms. Fortunately, Stheno reacted quickly and reached out to take the sister from Rorschach's arms.

"Lord Rorschach, please be gentler next time. Euryale is a very delicate girl."

***, Steno gave Rorschach a light glare, accusing him of being rude.

As for Luo Xia, who was in the defendant's seat, he could only smile somewhat embarrassedly, scratching the back of his head as he awkwardly began to speak:

"Sorry, I got a little excited."

Shaking her head helplessly, the goddess picked up her younger sister and nodded to Luo Xia beside her:

“I will take care of Euryale, Lord Rorschach, you should go and attend to your own business. A message just came from Yggdrasil, Lord Rorschach, that thing you asked Miss Muroto Sumire to research has made progress.”

Hearing that it was something important, Luo Xia's expression quickly returned to work mode. He asked to confirm, "Are the results out yet?"

"Yes. Ms. Sumire Muroto has made some progress. She couldn't find you in your office, and you didn't reply to her messages on the mental network, so she had to ask those close to you, like us, about your whereabouts. It was because of this that I came out to look for you, and that's how we bumped into each other..."

Stheno wisely stopped halfway through his sentence, not finishing his thought. Rorschach, hearing this, coughed lightly and began seriously:

"Well, I've been slacking off all day, it's time to get back to work. Stheno, I'm leaving Euryale in your care, take good care of her. Oh, and we're having a party tonight, remember to bring her early. That's all, I'm heading to the lab now."

Somewhat disheveled, Rorschach practically fled through the open portal before him, leaving the beach gradually shrouded in night. Watching his flustered retreating figure, Stheno couldn't help but chuckle softly, a gentle smile spreading across his face.

"Lord Rorschach is such a lovely man, don't you think? Me (Eureka)?"

As the portal gradually disappeared before him, Stheno smiled and asked about his unconscious sister in his arms. Euryale, however, seemed not to hear him, remaining in a half-asleep state.

"You smelled it too, didn't you? Lord Rorschach smells of another woman. Not Medusa, not Gorgon, not Jeanne d'Arc, not Yuuka. It's a completely new scent, as fiery and passionate as flames. Hmm, it smells like a formidable enemy."

"It's not just the smell of flames, but also the almost nonexistent smell of something that's just been picked up."

Lying helplessly in Stheno's arms, Euryale opened her beautiful indigo eyes and glanced helplessly at her sister who was determined to expose her.

"What, are you feeling threatened? If you really don't want to, Lord Rorschach won't force you."

"Hmph, I just made a mistake for a moment, yes, a mistake for a moment."

Euryale struggled to get out of Stheno's arms, but how could her older sister let her mischievous little sister get away with it?

"Let me down, Stheno, this is so embarrassing."

"What's so shameful about it? Haven't I hugged you like this before?"

"This is different, ugh~!!! What are you doing?"

***.

"What? Lord Rorschach can do it, but I can't? I was the one who took Euryale's first kiss."

"***"

How can a seemingly strong but actually weak younger sister resist a seemingly weak but actually very strong older sister?

"***"

"***"

The night on the Island of No Return has only just begun.

...............................................

With a feeling of weightlessness, as if he had missed a step while descending stairs, Luo Xia passed through the system's spatial portal and arrived at a spacious indoor plaza.

Looking at the conspicuous white-and-blue 'Chaldea' emblem on the wall beside him, Rorschach finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Being caught red-handed by his sister-in-law after just having sex with her younger sister—there couldn't be anything more embarrassing. Luckily, Stheno didn't make things too difficult for him, gently lifting him up and putting him down gently. What an understanding and kind girl!

As Rorschach was contemplating whether to buy Stheno a small gift, he felt a slight vibration in his pocket, followed by Stheno's gentle voice.

"Lord Rorschach, you have a new text message. Please check it promptly!"

The voice, seemingly right next to his ear, almost made Rorschach think that Stheno had teleported with him from the Isle of No Return. He then realized it was just a pre-recorded voice prompt he had set up. It would broadcast messages to Rorschach using the sender's pre-recorded voice, depending on the sender's identity.

Relieved once again, Luo Xia reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his smartphone, where a highlighted text message notification box immediately came into view.

"Don't forget our promise, Lord Rorschach. Tonight at midnight, at the temple ruins of the Isle of No Return, 'I' will give you a surprise."

Looking at the text message notification from Stheno on his phone, Rorschach smiled and nodded, then put the phone back in his pocket.

Is it midnight tonight? It looks like it's going to be a wonderful night.

Suppressing his emotions, Rorschach turned his attention back to business. According to news from Steno, his top research expert, Sumire Muroto, had made some progress on 'that thing,' a piece of good news that made Rorschach even happier. Love and career both flourishing—could there be anything more joyful?

As for what 'that thing' is, that goes back several months.

At that time, Rorschach had just arrived in the Black Bullet World. It was his first time experiencing this post-apocalyptic world, and he also accepted a series of missions from the system.

【Ancient Battlefield of Stars】

[You will be transported to a world facing a crisis, where you will change its original fate. There are no restrictions on power or the participation of contracted members; the host is free to act as they see fit. Whether you save or destroy the world, you will be rewarded with shopping vouchers and lottery items based on the world's rate of change.]

In addition, the system will randomly release a series of tasks. These tasks are not mandatory; completion rewards you, and failure incurs no penalty—an extra perk.

[The contractors signed by the host can gain three times the cultivation speed in the Ancient Battlefield of Stars. After death, they will be resurrected in the gym space. True strength requires real combat experience; there is no future in self-study.]

[The world line change rate has exceeded fifty percent, opening the next Ancient Battlefield of Stars. Host, please make the most of your abilities.]

Rorschach, who was busy settling the lolis who had come to settle in Yggdrasil from all over the world, had completely forgotten about the system mission. After all, at that time, he only had human lives on his mind and had no time to calculate anything like 'world line fluctuation rate'.

When he finally finished his busy work and could return to his room to rest for a while, Luo Xia noticed the new system notification that had appeared in the lower left corner of his screen.

[Ding~ The worldline shift rate of the Ancient Battlefield of Stars has exceeded 50%. The new world is ready, and the host may travel there at any time.]

[Ding~ The world line shift rate of the Ancient Battlefield of Stars has exceeded 80%. Reward: 10,000 System Shopping Coupons and 300 Lottery Items (Saint Quartz)]

[Ding~ The world line change rate of the Ancient Battlefield of Stars has exceeded 95%. Reward: 10 lottery items]

Rorschach was initially quite pleased with the first two system notifications. After all, there was a new world to explore, 10,000 'Amnesia Scrolls', and 300 Saint Crystals to collect—it was naturally delightful. However, when he saw the third notification, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Why did I get 10,000 Amnesia Scrolls when my world line change rate was 80%, but only 10 Stones when it reached 95%? Not even a 10-pull?!

The first thing that came to Luo Xia's mind was the word 'system bug', which then automatically transformed into 'system compensation'.

Official compensation! Freebies! Gacha pulls! One shot, one kill!

Thinking he had found a way to get freebies, Luo Xia immediately submitted an inquiry to his system, suggesting that a bug had been discovered. As a result, Luo Xia only received ten gacha items. However, instead of being frustrated by missing out on a 'huge sum', Luo Xia became even more excited.

Because the ten gacha items that Luo Xia received weren't Saint Quartz, but rather...

With a smile, Luo Xia pushed open the pristine white laboratory door and entered a room roughly the size of a football field. This room wasn't a single, continuous space, but rather divided into many smaller rooms. Various high-tech instruments were carefully arranged in each of these smaller rooms, while a group of men and women in white lab coats, their expressions serious, moved between the rooms conducting scientific experiments and exchanging ideas.

After passing through three airtight doors and being thoroughly disinfected by smoke and having excess static electricity removed, Rorschach finally entered the core of Yggdrasil's research center with the permission of Valkyrie, who was almost crying with nervousness at the gate.
