My anime girlfriend has come into my life

He only learned from Bronya during dinner that Alicia was planning something, so how could he be completely unprepared? Is she being so direct now because she's afraid he won't know?

"Overly complex plans are prone to errors; simple and straightforward ones are more effective."

Alicia shook her head gently, her pure and cheerful smile carrying a hint of playfulness.

"Now you've not only eaten Fu Hua, but also Mei, and all the other Herrschers who came here have been eaten by you. Are you going to let the lovely me suffer from everyone's ostracism?"

"Don't drag me into what you want to do with the captain. We're not forcing you, okay?"

Upon hearing Alicia mention her, Mei couldn't help but retort.

They don't differentiate between close and distant relationships based on this kind of connection, unlike what Alicia said about excluding people.

"But how am I supposed to sleep if you all play in the same room at night? I might be kept awake by the noise!"

Alicia looked at Mei with a pitiful expression, which made Mei's eyes twitch. She didn't want to pay any more attention to Alicia.

How can this be called exclusion? Alicia is completely distorting the truth!

"Alishia, stop talking nonsense. She'll get Kiana and beat you up later."

Li Chaoge felt a headache coming on. The Alicia he knew shouldn't be this speechless. How come she's been teasing Fu Hua and Mei ever since she arrived?

Although it was the truth, it was precisely because it was the truth that it was even harder for them to accept.

"Mei isn't that violent, I believe Mei~"

Alicia turned her head with a grin and winked at Mei.

Although she seemed to be outnumbered and outmatched here, with only Hua being an old acquaintance who was already working for Li Chaoge, she wasn't worried. They were all Herrschers, so weren't they all in the same boat?

"I don't really want that kind of trust."

Mei paused for a moment, then looked at Alicia with a quiet gaze.

"By the way, why didn't you summon Mebius? Could it be that you've fallen for someone else and don't like the shrunken Mebius anymore? You clearly liked both Hua and Gretchen."

Ignoring Mei's rather resentful gaze, Alicia maintained her bright and innocent smile.

"It's just because I want you to be unreliable that I have to keep summoning maids to help."

Li Chaoge looked at Alicia's pretty maid outfit, which resembled a stage performance, and said speechlessly.

How could Mebius not want to summon? But with so many he wanted to summon, wouldn't it be incredibly chaotic if he didn't consider the needs?

Just from this group of people in the Land of the Dead, he has a whole bunch of snakes, cats, and Gretchen that he wants to summon, not to mention the people from other worlds and other worlds.

Sometimes he wondered if random summoning would be better, so he wouldn't have to put so much effort into balancing things. Now, even those who weren't originally enthusiastic about that kind of thing have been influenced by this special environment.

Fortunately, he possessed Command Seals to restore his body; otherwise, he would have been powerless to do so long ago.

"I'm unreliable? Looks like I'll have to find a chance to show you my true abilities."

After hearing this, Alicia rolled her eyes and stopped bothering Mei and Fu Hua. Instead, she went to the back and found Hei hope and Lilith, who had secretly met up and were whispering to each other.

Hei hope and Lilith immediately stopped talking when they saw Alicia running over, and looked at Alicia warily.

"It sounds like you guys are talking about something interesting, can I join in?"

Alicia seemed oblivious to their wary looks and continued to smile warmly and cheerfully at them.

Lilith and Hei hope exchanged a glance and slowly nodded.

Adding Alicia to their plan doesn't seem to be a problem; Alicia probably won't betray them.

Li Chaoge noticed that Alicia had run off to talk to Lilith Heixi, but he didn't have the energy to pay attention to that anymore. He needed to find a way to increase his time as soon as possible to solve the current problem.

"Sakuya Izayoi, can you teach me your time manipulation abilities? Or are time manipulation abilities something you're born with and can't learn?"

Li Chaoge looked at Izayoi Sakuya, who was silently following beside him, and asked.

Although he knew a lot, he still had to find a way to obtain Sakuya Izayoi's abilities. Perhaps time-based abilities weren't very powerful in combat, but when combined with other abilities, they would bring about a qualitative change.

Of course, if we can get in control, the most obvious and direct result will be to free him from his current terrible environment.

There will no longer be a large group of people following him around, making it impossible for him to keep up with their conversations.

"Well, my ability is innate and there was no way I could pass it on to my master. But my master and I have a special connection, so perhaps my master can try to do so."

Sakuya Izayoi nodded slightly and explained.

"A special connection? The Source Cube, perhaps?"

After a moment's thought, Li Chaoge understood what Izayoi Sakuya meant by the special connection. Although he summoned the creature through the Command Seals on the back of his hand, the Command Seals were merely a summoning medium. In reality, the true connection with the summoned creature was the Source Cube within his body.

Command Seals require energy from the Source Cube to summon them, and the energy consumed is a product of his contact with them. If he were to use or learn Izayoi Sakuya's abilities using the Source Cube...

Li Chaoge silently sensed the Source Cube and found that he could not perceive the details of Izayoi Sakuya through the Source Cube, but could only sense the thoughts of other people.

Like Heinrich's intense desire for Commander's Energy, Black Lilith's excitement at causing trouble, Memphis META's worried mood, and Shen He's surging emotions that were almost impossible to contain...

As if exploring the sea of ​​consciousness of everyone, he could sense everything about each other through the Source Cube, but he could not sense the thoughts of Sigma, Izayoi, Sakuya, G36, Alicia, and Karenina, only their approximate locations.

Could it be that he needs to establish a further connection with Izayoi Sakuya in order to learn Izayoi Sakuya's time-manipulation abilities through the Source Cube?

However, it was clear that he couldn't immediately leave everyone behind to discuss the life experiment with Izayoi Sakuya, so he decided to put the idea aside for now and continue walking with everyone along the road near the hotel, enjoying the beautiful scenery around them.

The hotel is located in a quiet and beautiful place, surrounded by only a few commercial areas. The pristine natural scenery is quite nice, and it was worth the money they spent.

Walking along the edge of the dense woods, watching the birds pecking at food in the trees and the fish leaping in the lake, Li Chaoge felt a sense of exhilaration. However, it might also be because he was used to the scenery around him that he found it so refreshing.

Li Chaoge and the others chatted as they walked to a pavilion by the lake to rest. Kiana and Hu Tao bought some feed and threw it around to play with, while the others gradually dispersed to play around the area.

"Shen He, Memphis, did you guys have a good time?"

Li Chaoge glanced at the group who had intentionally or unintentionally separated, and after pondering for a moment, he went directly to Shen He and Memphis META, who both seemed to be very quiet and reserved.

In fact, he felt like he was separated from Shin-ha and Memphis META by a veil, just like he was separated from Izayoi Sakuya. He couldn't understand their thoughts through the connection of the Source Cube, and could only simply sense their emotions.

But right now he doesn't want to learn anything or do anything; he just wants to chat with them.

In his memory, Shen He and Memphis META had been here for a long time. In fact, it had only been about ten hours since they arrived in this world. They had just arrived last night, chatted with him in bed for a while, and then went to bed to rest. This morning, they got up and took a plane here. They didn't have any private space to talk to him anymore.

When they first appeared, he said he wanted to have a good talk with them, and now is an opportunity to properly address any anxieties they might have.

Memphis is a meta-transformed ship girl, and her emotions are easily unstable. Shenhe also uses a red rope to lock up his emotions and desires. He senses a huge surge of emotions and desires hidden beneath their calm exterior, which, if uncontrollable, will overwhelm him.

Chapter 214. Are Dreams More Exciting? (5000 words)

"Have fun? Yeah, as long as you're happy."

Shen He blinked at Li Chaoge, her stunningly beautiful face remaining expressionless, making it difficult to discern what she was thinking.

If Li Chaoge hadn't been able to sense the surging emotions beneath Shen He's calm exterior through the Source Cube, he probably would have only been able to guess whether Shen He was agitated or calm.

However, Shen He's bloodlust is restrained by the red rope binding him, but his indifference to emotions does not mean that his emotions have disappeared. If he doesn't understand human relationships, he can simply express his thoughts.

When you're with her, whatever she says goes; she doesn't have many complicated thoughts and is very straightforward.

"Shen He, you know that talking like that is actually very unfair."

Li Chaoge reached out and brushed aside Shen He's white bangs, looking at her smooth, jade-like, indifferent face, and sighed.

He said "Whatever makes you happy" with a blank expression. If he didn't know Shen He's personality, he probably would have thought Shen He was just being perfunctory or sarcastic.

However, after learning about Shen He's feelings for him, he viewed Shen He's every move through a different lens, feeling that everything she did was an expression of her affection for him.

"Then, how should I say it?"

Shen He hesitated slightly, staring blankly at Li Chaoge with an expression of not understanding.

Although it's a bit inappropriate to use the word "cute" to describe Shen He, who is tall and has an ethereal air, Li Chaoge does find Shen He quite cute now.

She was so cute that I couldn't help but hug her and give her a big kiss.

"Are you happy now? Did I say something to make you happy?"

With a soft pop, Shen He touched his smooth cheek, still warm from the kiss, and looked at Li Chaoge with even greater confusion.

Given her relationship with Chaoge, some intimate contact was perfectly normal and commonplace, so she didn't really care about Chaoge's sudden attack.

She still didn't understand why Chaoge was so happy, since they hadn't done anything there, neither finding any treasure nor completing the mission to get the reward.

Even after spending so much time with Chaoge, there were still many things she didn't understand.

For example, when Mona said she was hungry and wanted breakfast, Chaoge, who was lying in bed, called Mona over to drink milk, and Mona blushed and scolded Chaoge; when Fischl said that she was the Princess of Judgment and could be relied upon by Chaoge, she was hugged by Chaoge but instead ran away; Chaoge was happier when Ganyu called her to help at the Moonlit Pavilion than when Keqing called her to work outside...

Even today, Shen He still has many unsolved mysteries in his heart.

"Don't think too much, I'm just happy to have you by my side."

Seeing that Shen He was completely unaware of his own cuteness, Li Chaoge gently kneaded Shen He's jade-like hand and smiled.

The saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" might be true; because you like someone, they seem adorable.

"Oh......"

Hearing Li Chaoge's words, Shen He nodded and didn't ask any further questions, silently watching Li Chaoge play with her hand.

Hmm... she understood this behavior a little bit. Chaoge said it was because she wanted to have more contact with the person she liked, just like how she would sometimes unconsciously reach out and touch Chaoge's cheek.

Shen He looked at Li Chaoge and her right hand intertwined, then suddenly reached out his left hand and gently touched Li Chaoge's cheek.

There's no particular reason; I just want to touch the person I like. Just being in contact with them calms my restless heart.

"Ok?"

Li Chaoge looked up at Shen He, who was still expressionless, and vaguely sensed through the Source Cube that Shen He's previously turbulent emotions had suddenly calmed down a lot.

Although the repressed emotions and desires are still immense, they have been temporarily resolved for now.

"Memphis, what about you? Don't you find it boring traveling with me?"

Li Chaoge looked at Memphis on his other side, at her equally indifferent yet melancholic and charming face.

As a qualified scumbag, it is necessary to treat all his lovers equally. Even if he did have Izayoi Sakuya's time-manipulation ability, he would still have to pay attention to the details at all times.

"I'm fine, but I'm a little worried about you, Commander."

Memphis META watched as Li Chaoge naturally and skillfully took her hand, but did not let go of Shen He's hand on the other side, and gently shook her head.

"Are you jealous?"

Memphis META's gaze was obvious, but Li Chaoge wasn't too worried.

"The commander belongs to everyone. It's enough if the commander notices me occasionally."

Memphis META shook her head slightly, then reached out and clasped her hands together to hold Li Chaoge's hands. Her cherry lips parted slightly as she stared intently at Li Chaoge: "I just hope that the Commander can understand that no matter what, you can always trust us. You are our support, and we are your support."

She couldn't judge other people's feelings for the commander, but since everyone had come to the commander's side with the same purpose, she wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

"Of course, if I don't even trust you, then who can I trust?"

Li Chaoge tightly grasped Memphis's slender fingers, looked at the faint sorrow lingering on her cheeks, lowered his head to kiss her, and smiled, "I know there are many things you don't want to tell me, and I won't force you to."

"However, there is one important thing I need to ask of you."

"I will obey the commander's orders."

Memphis META replied without hesitation that she would accept the commander's request even if she didn't know what it was.

"This is not an order, it's a discussion with you."

Li Chaoge smiled and shook his head, correcting Memphis's META statement. He then reached out and tugged at Memphis's soft, flawless cheek, "I hope you can smile in the days to come and stop looking so gloomy every day."

"This makes me feel like a terrible commander."

"I'm sorry, Commander, I was too selfish and only thought of myself."

Memphis META was taken aback, and immediately apologized to Li Chaoge with a guilty expression.

She was so preoccupied with her own worries that she completely failed to notice the commander's concern for her.

“No need to apologize. To be honest, this was also my selfish reason, to force you to be happy when you're in a bad mood.” Li Chaoge looked at Memphis META and continued with an unchanged smile, “But if you can't feel happy when you're by my side, Memphis META, I'll feel unhappy too.”

"So, could you please be a little happier for my sake, and for my own selfish reasons?"

"While a melancholic Memphis is beautiful, I would much rather see a smiling Memphis."

"commander......"

Memphis META stared at the smile on Li Chaoge's face, biting her thin lips, remaining silent for a long time.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you know how to refuse? I've said so much and you haven't given me any response, it's making me very awkward."

Li Chaoge gently stroked Memphis META's cheek and her soft pink hair, looking at her calmly and patiently.

"No, I will listen to everything the Commander says. It's just that I don't know how to express my feelings anymore. It's something to be happy about that the Commander cares about me so much, but I don't know what to do..."
