My anime girlfriend has come into my life

"...Sigma can call me Sister Qingge, or you can just call me Sister."

Looking into Sigma's pure and innocent eyes, Qingge paused for a moment before continuing.

The title of "aunt" seems a bit too much for a young woman in her prime.

Other distant relatives don't matter, but my brother's daughter... I shouldn't call her aunt anymore. My brother isn't even married yet, and she'll look much older for no reason if she does this.

"Okay, then I'll call her Sister Qingge~"

Sigma nodded his little head, a sweet smile spreading across his face, which made Mo Xi, the goddess of the Divine Palace, and the others behind Qing Ge's heart flutter.

Goodness gracious, are all the animals in Qingge's family exceptionally beautiful? Not only are the big ones good-looking, but the little ones are also so adorable.

"Yes, this is a gift for you as we meet. I hope Sigma will keep it safe."

Looking at the well-behaved and adorable Sigma, Qingge smiled and reached out to pat Sigma's head. Then she took out a small box, opened it, and took out the contents.

This is clearly a jade pendant shaped like Maitreya Buddha, and it looks transparent and bright.

"Is this the jade pendant that Sister Qingge bought? Is Sister Qingge a Buddhist?"

Sigma looked curiously at the jade pendant on Qingge's hand. This must have been bought especially for her, right?

“I don’t believe in Buddhism, and I didn’t buy this, but I’ve worn it since I was a child.”

Qingge smiled and shook her head, then squatted down and tied the jade pendant in her hand around Sigma's neck.

Her mother had been a Buddhist for a while when she was a child, but she wasn't a devout believer. As far as she knew, her mother had believed in Taoism, Buddhism, and Christianity—basically, she believed in a little bit of everything since it didn't cost money.

When she was a Buddhist, her mother bought her and her brother a pair of jade pendants, but they were not expensive jade pendants, just ordinary street vendor items.

The only difference between this jade pendant and the others is that she wore it around her neck when she was a child, and it accompanied her for a long time. Later, when she grew up and lived in a dormitory, it became inconvenient to wear it, so she stopped wearing it and put it away.

She considered what kind of gift to give Sigma, but after thinking it over, she felt that none of them were quite appropriate. After all, Sigma was an artificial intelligence and didn't care much about toys or food.

But after carefully studying the information she found about Sigma, she discovered that Sigma cared a lot about family, so she thought of taking out the jade pendant she had when she was a child.

The value of this gift lies not in the gift itself, but in the concept they imbued it with.

"Did Qingge wear this when she was little? Did Dad wear a jade pendant when he was little too?"

Sigma, whose reaction surpassed that of a computer, immediately made a connection and looked up at Li Chaoge.

The information she found online included the saying that men should wear Guanyin and women should wear Buddha. Qingge wore Maitreya Buddha when she was a child, so her father should have worn Guanyin when he was a child!

"I have one too, but mine cracked when I fell as a child, and I left it at home. I don't know if I can find it now."

Li Chaoge patted Sigma's little head and nodded. He hadn't expected Qingge to give him this as a gift, because it was very cheap and he hadn't worn it for so many years that he didn't know where he had put it.

"I can find them, I've kept them all safe."

Qingge smiled slightly. Her brother didn't care about this, but how could she not care?

Ying, who had been leaning back without saying a word, sensed something was wrong. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at Qingge.

Is this little bitch planning to steal her brother?

Ha, come and try to take it if you want. As long as I don't let go, you have no chance!

"Can I wear two jade pendants at the same time? Is that okay?"

Sigma's eyes lit up, and he stared at Li Chaoge with wide eyes, full of anticipation.

She really liked the jade pendant that her sister Qingge gave her, but she also wanted something that her father had when he was a child!

Adults make choices, but children want it all!

"Of course, as long as you don't mind."

Li Chaoge smiled and agreed. This decisive speed immediately displeased Shi Bao, who was somewhat tempted but hadn't had a chance to speak yet.

What's wrong with this scumbag captain? He can't even consider her when he has something good? He's only thinking about that useless AI?

Pah! You're dead tonight! Even the most ancient can't save you!

“I don’t believe in Buddhism, and I don’t expect you, Sigma, to believe in Buddhism either. But I hope that in the future you can be as magnanimous as the legendary Maitreya Buddha, less petty and more tolerant.”

Qingge didn't notice Ying and the others' reactions and was still having her final conversation with Sigma.

"Oh~~ So the meaning of the Guanyin jade pendant is that one is kind, compassionate, and gentle like a Bodhisattva?"

Sigma suddenly realized why her father was so good to them; this was one of the reasons. Her father had received this kind of education since he was a child.

"Sigma is really smart."

Qingge stood up, and couldn't help but pat Sigma's head again, praising him with a smile.

Sigma is even more obedient and adorable than she was when she was little, no wonder her brother likes her so much.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Dad's good teaching!"

Sigma smiled and puffed out his non-existent chest, saying proudly.

"Alright, alright, let's get ready to board. We can talk about anything else once we're on the plane."

Hearing Sigma praising him again, Li Chaoge couldn't help but pinch Sigma's cheek and then looked at everyone to change the subject.

In private, he and Sigma could happily flatter each other, but in front of everyone... he just didn't have the nerve to accept Sigma's praise with a clear conscience.

Although he quite appreciated it... after all, who wouldn't want a sweet and caring daughter who idolizes and adores them?

Chapter 204. You didn't even give me a proper kiss!

The group lined up and boarded the plane, finding their seats according to their assigned locations.

Actually, there's no need to look around. Bronya bought tickets for them all in the same area, so they can sit anywhere since they're all on the same team.

If it weren't for the fact that buying too many seats and not sitting in them would have a negative impact, she might have even booked all the plane tickets herself. After all, she could easily recoup that amount of money by investing in the stock market with international speculative capital.

Everyone took their seats, with Exusiai, Platinum, and Bagpipe from the Ark sitting together.

"I never imagined the Doctor had that kind of thing. I wonder if the Doctor has any connection with Buddha in other worlds."

Nian sat down, placed his long, fiery red tail on his lap, and stroked it while speaking to Exusiai and the others.

Originally, having a tail made her unsuitable to appear in public, but thanks to Ayanami lending her an invisibility device and Shi Bao modifying her consciousness, she can now openly appear in public without worrying about attracting attention.

"Didn't the professors all say that it's what parents hope for in their children?"

Bagpipe wondered, although her hometown of Victoria did not have the custom of wearing jade pendants, there were many similar prayer ornaments. In terms of children, the traditions in many parts of the world are the same.

"Well, there aren't any strange powers in this world, so there's nothing wrong with saying that."

He crossed his legs, reclined his chair, and lay down comfortably.

In the Great Yan region of Arknights, there are similar customs, and they are indeed real there. For example, the original forms of the characters "Sui" are related to a festival tradition of Great Yan.

"Instead of this, don't you think about who the Doctor is going to summon next? Although they are called maids, no one will really treat them as maids."

Platinum glanced at Nian and Bagpipe; they were so carefree, not even considering what was to come.

Although she wasn't too worried, she wondered what would happen if the newcomers suppressed the PhD student who was currently surrounded by so many women.

Bronya is out in the stock market profiting at the expense of retail investors, while Belfast is working as a housekeeper and maid; nobody here is managing the Doctor's money.

"I don't think we have anyone here who works as a professional maid, do we?"

Theresa thought for a moment and said that she felt their chances of winning the bid were very low.

Rhodes Island has a wealth of talent across all sectors, but a career goal of becoming a maid... that goal is still too extravagant in Terra.

Although there are many powerful people on Rhodes Island, they are all plagued by Oripathy, and most people are still struggling to survive.

“Kal'tsit, didn’t she work as a maid? Maybe she has a chance to be chosen. If Kal'tsit comes, I hope she will be a serious maid, even if she is just a pretty face.”

Exusiai looked on with malicious anticipation. She hadn't known that Kal'tsit had worked as a maid before, but when she was gathering information, she came across Kal'tsit's secrets and, after careful consideration, she felt that it was indeed possible.

Therefore, if the Doctor summons a maid, there is definitely a chance that he will summon Kal'tsit, the frivolous fake maid.

Seeing Exusia making fun of Kal'tsit, Theresa smiled but said nothing.

Just as Platinum said, when a maid is summoned, it doesn't mean she's just a maid. If possible, she would also like Kal'tsit to come over, since she and Kal'tsit both have a good relationship with the Doctor, and it would be nice for the three of them to have fun together in this peaceful world.

"Is Xi still like this, staying inside the painting and refusing to come out?"

Theresa looked at the scroll hanging from Nian's waist. She hadn't seen Xi since she arrived here, and felt that Xi's problem of squatting in the painting had become more serious.

"She only comes out when she's eating. She just enjoys herself all day without doing any work. She's a complete freeloader."

Nian picked up the scroll and shook it, when suddenly a piece of paper fell out, causing him to pause in surprise.

"Oh, she said you're only a little older than her, so how is that considered sponging off your parents? Besides, you've bullied her so many times, so it's only right that you get some interest back."

Exusiai picked up the note, glanced at it, and smiled at Nian.

Although Nian and Xi are not twin sisters, their back-and-forth antics are quite amusing, somewhat comparable to those of the Texas Lappland duo.

"Wait until the order comes and see where she hides."

Nian glanced at the scroll, which had fallen silent again, and said casually, "I'm not in a hurry."

Anyway, Xi's people can't escape here. They'll eventually come out and stay put. The only difference is whether they give in sooner or later.

Although waiting for the order was also quite annoying for her, if everyone was annoyed, then it would be fine. Besides, there were so many big shots here, so the Doctor should be able to easily resolve this troublesome matter.

"Ah... I haven't seen her in a long time either. I wonder where she's traveling now."

Theresa was lost in memories. Although Rhodes Island had many allies because of the Doctor, when the Doctor was not around, many people were just nominally allies doing their own thing.

However, they have now found the Doctor, and now they are waiting for him to return so that everyone can come back.

Aside from the Ark faction, the various factions in Honkai Impact 3rd and Azur Lane were discussing things separately in small groups, especially Fu Hua, Shen He, and Memphis, who had chatted with Li Chaoge and slept with him last night.

Everyone wanted to know what Fu Hua and Li Chaoge had done last night, and why their relationship had suddenly become so good. They just didn't have time to ask when they were at home, but now it was convenient to ask.

However, it was clear that apart from Fu Hua and Shi Bao, Shen He and Memphis had no idea what had happened, and no amount of questioning would change anything.

When asked by Kiana and Bronya, Fu Hua didn't give a specific answer, only briefly mentioning that they had taught Li Chaoge the Taixu Sword Qi.

It wasn't until this point that Kiana realized the Captain and Fu Hua were just playing around in a dream. She had previously received instruction from Fu Hua in a dream and learned the Taixu Sword Qi through countless lessons, so she was quite familiar with it.

Bronya and Mei actually wanted to know more, but seeing that Fu Hua didn't seem too keen to talk about the details of her and the captain's dream, they didn't ask any further questions.

Fu Hua and the captain have always had a good relationship, and she is very calm and reliable, so they don't need to worry about anything. If it were Alicia, they might have to be on guard, as they might be tricked by Alicia.

Now that they were no longer going to investigate what happened to Fu Hua last night, they started thinking about the maid and the trip.

The little incident in the waiting area was nothing; everyone already knew about Qingge and her roommate, and Sigma was a harmless AI entity. The important thing was the upcoming trip to Japan.

Aside from Sigma being simple-minded and McQueen lacking both ability and ideas, the others would probably be looking for various opportunities to get close to Captain Ninja during their travels.

But how exactly to do it requires careful planning; it's not enough to just act recklessly. After all, there are so many people around, and someone who acts headstrong and recklessly is easily targeted by everyone.

The maid the captain needs to summon next is a breakthrough point, but their maids are just a few, such as Rita or Alicia. The key is to fight against other forces and win in the open and covert struggles!

On the other side, after a brief period of shock, Qingge's roommates and best friends gradually calmed down and refocused their attention on the matter of taking a plane to Japan for tourism.

Li Chaoge and his group did not deliberately release their aura to target them, so they only felt amazed and impressed, and their spirits were not affected.

Since there wasn't much to do on the plane, Li Chaoge pulled Sigma to sit next to Qingge and the others. The seats in front of Qingge were occupied by the three of them, with Heinrich sitting in the extra seat.

After all, he had invited them out, and Tamamo-no-Mae and Rose had helped him a lot; he wasn't the type to turn his back on them after using them. Even now, with the powerful artifact that could alter consciousness by his side, he wouldn't use it casually. He would treat them in a normal way if possible.

"I heard there's a magical button on airplanes. Where is that button?"

After fastening her seatbelt, Isabella looked around curiously, trying to find some legendary magic button.

She had wanted to look for it when she flew here before, but her seat wasn't good, and the flight attendant wouldn't let her wander around.

"Pressing the button instantly wipes out a 100,000-yuan emergency escape device?"

Jinguji Tamamo, sitting next to Isabella, immediately thought of the special button that made it easy to get on the news when she heard her say that.

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Isabella nodded quickly.

"Why are you looking for that? It'll cause a lot of trouble if you accidentally press that button."

When Jinguji Tamamo heard it was this thing, she gave up on helping Isabella find it. This thing could only be looked at and not touched. If the oblivious Isabella saw it, she might actually press it.

Leaving aside the issue of having to pay compensation after pressing the button, all the passengers on their flight had to get off and rebook, which was incredibly inconvenient.

"Oh... okay."

"Is that it? I'll go take a look."

Just as Isabella was resigned to accepting reality and giving up the search, Heinrich, who was sitting on Isabella's other side, suddenly stood up and looked across the aisle. There was a red EXIT sign next to the double seat where Lucia and Selena were sitting, with a raised button below it.
