Exusiai sniffed, inhaling the sweet coconut scent in the air, and said with great interest.
You can't just eat something delicious once. Once you take the ingredients back, a bunch of people will cook it. Coconut is also a great drink, but the quantity is too small. After a few sips with the straw, there's hardly any left.
"Would you like me to buy you a whole truckload to take back?"
Li Chaoge glanced at Exusiai. Drinking coconuts like water wasn't so bad. As long as they didn't gamble on houses or other luxury goods, they could live very comfortably.
But drinking too much of this kind of sweet stuff will definitely get cloying; only plain water can be drunk for the longest time.
"Hehe, I don't mind if it's Dr. Ken."
Seeing that there was still a while before the hot pot was ready to eat, Exusiai's eyes darted around, and she wanted to move her feet and sit in Li Chaoge's lap.
However, she was grabbed just as she was about to make a move.
Kiana?
Exusiai looked at Kiana in surprise as she grabbed her hand. She hadn't expected Kiana to stop her; she had thought it would be Luminous or Bronya.
"Dinner will be ready soon, what do you want to do?"
Kiana glared at the restless Exusiai with annoyance.
"But it's so boring..."
Exusiai tried to defend her actions, but Kiana didn't believe her.
She herself is like that, so how could she not know what Exusiai is thinking?
Exusiai isn't exactly a pure and innocent child. If she were to run up to the captain at this moment and try to do something, she would know immediately if she used her brain.
"Captain, have you thought about the summoning we talked about before? Why don't we summon it now?" Bronya looked at the people present, then suddenly looked at Li Chaoge and reminded him, "We can have a meal together and get to know each other better."
Although theoretically everyone who managed to get here must have deep feelings for the captain, the captain is different. She has to establish a relationship with them before she can deepen her feelings for them.
"Is another new person coming?!"
"I hope you can be more lively!"
Before Li Chaoge could speak, Exusiai, Kiana, and Heinrich became excited.
With more people, the competition will be fierce, and things will get chaotic. They don't need to worry about those things. Anyway, the others will eventually arrive, so they might as well come over early and play with them.
There are quite a few people in the villa now, but not many are willing to set aside their prejudices and factionalisms to have fun with them. Lilith and Blackie are actually quite nice, but they both have their own ideas, so it's hard to get them together unless everyone is together.
Needless to say, Mei and the others would never play with them.
"Summoning now? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Li Chaoge was speechless. The girls were even more excited than he was. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were summoning their wives.
"Or should we wait until we get back to the villa to summon them? What if they have a short temper and see all your harem members in the villa, Captain..."
Bronya smiled and quietly looked at Li Chaoge.
"Uh, let's summon it now then."
Li Chaoge was silent for a moment, but still decided to summon him to have lunch with him.
Actually, it doesn't matter where he's summoned. Everyone has been in the group chat before, and there aren't many people who don't know about his womanizing ways. After all, he was young and impetuous and caused so many romantic entanglements.
However, returning to the villa to summon it is not a good choice. Knowing it beforehand is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.
A person who is easily jealous would probably be instantly enraged upon seeing so many girls in the villa.
"Who should we summon?"
Let's each draw a lot to decide!
"But isn't that unfair to them who live in the villa?"
Li Chaoge glanced at Kiana, who was rubbing her hands together as if she was gathering her luck. Kiana's luck always seemed to be very good. In the game, Kiana was considered the luckiest player. She could get the character that Fu Hua couldn't get even if she tried, with just a little help from Kiana.
Of course, luck isn't the point.
The key point is that Bronya, Kiana, Exusiai, Heinrich, and Luminous are currently around him. Azur Lane and Genshin Impact each have a one-fifth probability of being affected, while Honkai Impact has a two-fifth probability.
If people from every faction came, we could draw one more time evenly, but no one from FGO, Punishing: Gray Raven, or Uma Musume came.
"It'll be their turn next time they come."
Kiana felt that she would never lose if it came down to luck, as she had always been incredibly lucky in the lottery game.
"Captain, you're one spot short of ours."
Bronya nodded in agreement, then looked at Li Chaoge and gave him a serious reminder.
Just because she isn't demanding a spot doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's a good opportunity to use it to manipulate the captain.
"Boss, why don't you draw one for yourself too? That way, Kiana and the others won't have a significantly higher chance of winning than us."
Exusiai tried to persuade her, but it was clear that Kiana had remembered her earlier attempt to stop her, so it was unlikely that she would help Kiana now.
The doctor is summoning her, which is perfect. The more people there are, the more murky the water becomes. She can take the opportunity to sneak over to the doctor and steal a bite.
"That works too. That way, the captain can send someone he likes over."
Bronya nodded, not intending to say much more to Exusiai, since Ark and Azure had already formed an alliance, and Heinrich and Exusiai were actually on the same side.
However, the biggest threat is still Azur Lane's extremely distorted figure. As for the Ark... although it has the advantage of beast-eared girls, most of its members don't have enough combat power, so it's not a big problem.
"Then Captain, hurry up and draw lots!"
Kiana looked at Li Chaoge, her pretty face full of excitement, urging him on. She couldn't wait to draw the prize and see who would come from the Hyperion this time.
In any case, hopefully this will have an impact on Mei, who doesn't seem to have much of a sense of crisis, so that everyone else doesn't become too close to the captain while Mei is the only one still acting coy.
"Hehe, every time I go out I take a few with me, and when I come back I have a few more. Boss, you'd better watch out for your back in the future."
Exusiai chuckled mischievously, prompting Li Chaoge to pat her head speechlessly.
Why are you making it sound like he'd kill someone? Exusiai is such a troublemaker.
"Whoever gets the prize wins; there are three chances in total."
Li Chaoge glanced at the table, then picked up a white spoon, placed it on the table, and personally turned it.
"I have three chances, and I refuse to believe I won't get it even once!"
Kiana was full of confidence. When the spoon finished spinning and the end of the spoon stopped in the direction of Ying, she was not worried. But when it spun a second time and the end of the spoon pointed at Li Chaoge, her confidence began to waver.
There are six people, and she and Bronya are two of them. That's a full third of the chances. Surely she won't get a single chance after three spins!
"Captain, you didn't cheat, did you?"
Kiana stared at Li Chaoge and Ying, trying to read something from their faces.
She was a little doubtful about her luck today. They had always been lucky, and it would be a loss if she didn't win the lottery this time!
"You can't blame me for this. You know I can't control my strength."
Li Chaoge silently spun the spoon again. No one else present was willing to believe the result when they did it. Only Li Chaoge, who couldn't precisely control his strength, could prevent anyone from cheating.
Kiana choked for a moment. She knew that too, but was her luck really that bad?
"This last spot..."
Exusiai stared at the spinning spoon on the table, ruling out the already won Doctor and Luminous, and her chances with Heinrich and Kiana Bronya were fifty-fifty.
After a while, the tip of the spoon slowly came to rest between Exusiai and Heinrich. However, upon closer inspection, the tip of the spoon was still more biased towards Heinrich.
"Sigh... Heinrich, congratulations on getting a spot!"
Although somewhat disappointed, Exusiai still smiled and said to Heinrich.
"Is it really me? But I haven't decided who to summon yet."
Heinrich scratched her head. She had just been joining in for fun, and she never expected to be so lucky as to win.
"We didn't get a single chance?! We had three!?"
Compared to Heinrich, who was both confused and pleasantly surprised, Kiana was somewhat incredulous.
If she were an African like Fu Hua, it would be one thing, but she's clearly quite lucky, as the captain and everyone else have acknowledged.
"Alright, Kiana, you've probably used up a lot of your luck lately."
Bronya shook her head. So many of them had arrived here first, and they all got along so well. It must be a kind of luck.
"Don't you have one spot left? Just use that spot."
Exusiai chuckled and offered a friendly reminder.
"Captain is out of energy right now. After using up the three slots, we'll have to start saving up again."
Kiana pursed her lips. There were clearly three spots available, but they weren't giving them out. What was the point of talking about spots after the energy was used up?
"Then we'll have to tell the boss to stock up more."
Exusiai shrugged and glanced at Li Chaoge, giving him a hint.
Actually, as the second person to come to the Doctor's side, and who always liked to cause trouble and tease the Doctor, she also had a spot, just like Seele and the others. This was all compensation for making them share the spots with Punishing: Gray Raven.
However, like Heinrich, she hadn't yet decided who to invite.
When she had no other choice, she thought anyone would do, as long as they could help deal with the pressure from other factions. But now that she has a fixed number of slots to choose from and can consider focusing on targeted summons, she hesitates.
It feels like summoning someone too domineering would ruin her current comfortable life, but if she's not domineering, she'll be humiliated by others. So it's better not to summon her at all.
"Captain, please be prepared tonight."
Bronya glanced at Li Chaoge and said calmly.
If they run out of energy, they can accumulate it themselves and summon it on the spot, so that the captain won't use the energy they've accumulated to summon other women.
"Ahem, we'll talk about those things when we get back,"
Li Chaoge coughed and quickly looked at Ying beside him to change the subject, "Ying, do you have any ideas? Have you figured out how to summon her?"
"Then... let's go with the Liyue people."
Ying thought for a moment and chose a very broad tag.
Currently, Ayaka Kamisato and Raikou from Genshin Impact are from Inazuma, while Mona is from Mondstadt. Mona is currently figuring out how to restart her research and doesn't have a high profile, but as someone her brother brought from Mondstadt, she can be considered part of Mondstadt.
Although it's not necessary for someone to come from every country in Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Liyue, her brother has indeed left behind romantic entanglements in various places. She doesn't particularly want to summon anyone, so she might as well maintain a balance and give them something to look forward to.
"Liyue people? Fine."
Li Chaoge nodded, closed his eyes, and felt the energy within his body as he used Command Spells.
One-third of their internal energy was instantly depleted, and a dazzling light appeared beside Li Chaoge and the others, from which a figure slowly emerged.
"Aww!~"
Chapter 165. Starting Today, I'm a Dad!
"Um?!"
Kiana didn't react much when she saw the slender, petite figure appear in the light, but she was stunned when she heard the "Aww~" coming from inside.
This...this sounds like my own voice.
"Oh my, you actually summoned me at the dinner table? You guys are really something. Is there something you need me to do?"
The girl's slender yet graceful body was wrapped in dark brown clothing, with short white stockings beneath her fair legs. Her eyes, marked with plum blossom patterns, scanned her surroundings before turning to Li Chaoge and asking with a grin.
During this time, she had already heard that Mona of Mondstadt and Ayaka Kamisato of Inazuma were missing, so she was not surprised at all that she would be summoned.
She was a little surprised to be ranked so high, fourth in line.
Although she glanced at the people she recognized at the table and saw only Li Chaoge and Ying, she already guessed that many people had arrived.
"Nothing much, just want to have a meal and chat together."
Li Chaoge, who recognized the girl's identity from her clothing, smiled and nodded. He liked quite a few girls in Liyue: Gan Yu, Shen He, Ke Qing, Ning Guang, Yun Jin, Bei Dou, Hu Tao, Yan Fei, Xiang Ling, Qi Qi, and a whole bunch of others. He didn't expect it to be Hu Tao. It seems that things are going to get even more lively now.
Walnut is quirky and loves to play, so he'll probably get along well with Heinrich and Exusiai. Of course, he thinks Kiana is the one he's most likely to get along with.
Looking at Kiana, who was looking conflicted and unsure of what to say, Li Chaoge smiled at Hu Tao and said, "Hu Tao, sit down first and see if you like this lunch. If you don't, we'll take you to eat something else later."
"Okay, good afternoon everyone~ I'm Hu Tao, from Liyue Rebirth Hall. You should have seen me speak in that group before, right?"
After blinking her beautiful plum blossom eyes and finishing her conversation with Li Chaoge, Hu Tao greeted Exusiai Heinrich with a smile.
Heinrich and Exusiai were just as stunned as Kiana, staring in utter astonishment at the seemingly lively girl.
"The new girl's voice is exactly the same as Kiana's!"
