Their commission was suspicious.

"The Crown of Thorns, the first gift a mature doll receives. It's a protective measure invented by the doll maker to prevent anyone from touching their doll after they've left," Chen Luo said as he pulled Gretchen out of the life support pod.

"Ah, speaking of which, Brother Chen Luo, you said that I should have returned the items I left here to you when I saw you." Gretchen sat on the edge of the life support pod, still feeling weak, so she didn't roll over.

"Props?"

“Yes, a prop.” Gretchen nodded, and then a blue dot of light flew out from Gretchen’s headdress.

"What is this?"

“Artificial spirits. Intelligent assistants with incredible powers, an accessory technology of the Rozen Maidens. They possess extremely high intelligence and can assist their master in battle, summon weapons, or enhance weapon combat capabilities. They are quite difficult to create,” Chen Luo explained.

"What's its name?" Chen Luo then asked.

Although this thing was probably made by Chen Luo in the future, the name was definitely not chosen by Chen Luo.

“Marvin,” Gretsch replied, while manipulating the artificial spirit to open an alternate dimension.

However, because she had just woken up and was feeling weak, Gretsch, who was originally going to take out the items one by one, accidentally threw out all the stored items inside.

Various picture frames, paintbrushes, white socks, and... a large number of props, all covered in paint.

Memory Bread, Armory Box, Clow Cards, Brick (World Fragment), 108 Anti-Fraud Methods, Treasure Compass, Emotion Notebook, Magical Nonsense Conch Shell, Bio-orb, Newspaper (Ignore the highest level of presence), Red Orca Doll, Emotion Notebook, Simulated Universe Game Helmet...

At first glance, everything he saw was so familiar that it made Chen Luo's eyes twitch.

With the addition of the Crown of Thorns and the artificial elf, Gretchen's journey is unlikely to encounter any danger.

Now, Gretchen is the "danger".

At first glance, it doesn't seem to have anything particularly aggressive.

but……

Chen Luo pulled out his Friendship Revolver, ignoring Gretchen's somewhat shy words about not looking after throwing everything out, and then picked up a gun from the ground.

Two guns, exactly the same.

Gretchen might not be able to kill, but she can make life worse than death. These tools are enough for Gretchen to protect herself. Besides, it's not like no one has ever almost died laughing at her.

"Hmph!" Holding two Friendship Revolvers, Chen Luo revealed a slightly excited expression, then raised the two guns and aimed them at Vita next to him.

So it was you who stole Greta's bedroom, wasn't it?

"Hands up!"

"Ugh!" Looking at the two dark gun barrels pointed at him... wait, two?

Vita was so frightened that she immediately raised her hands.

"Boss, don't shoot! They're on our side!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, but I have something to say!" Vita knelt upright.

But Vita felt somewhat wronged... at least a little.

And do bad women deserve to have guns pointed at them?

If it were really a gun, Vita wouldn't be so panicked, but she had heard of the Friendship Revolver.

And why is it that others are held at gunpoint by one gun, while you are held at gunpoint by two?

If you can laugh for 10 minutes after just one gun, what about two guns? You must be laughing yourself to death!

"Phew, finally all stored away." Gretchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the artificial spirits Chen Luo made for Gretchen were so useful, Gretchen basically put all her belongings into them, including all kinds of clothes.

That's why Greta was so weak yet persistent, telling Chen Luo to close his eyes quickly.

However, Chen Luo didn't seem to have any intention of obeying at first, and instead picked up the Friendship Revolver directly.

"Next time, brother, at least listen to what people say."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I should have closed my eyes first... So let's judge this bad woman first." Chen Luo used his thumb to pull the hammer of the Friendship Revolver.

Upon hearing this voice, Vita began to tense up.

……

"This monitor is strange; the design has been changed since I piloted the Ark." Looking at the familiar monitor in her bedroom, Gretchen's tone seemed to carry a hint of displeasure.

“Someone modified the system here after you fell asleep, making it adaptable to new functions. And the person who operated all of this…” Chen Luo’s finger slid across a small green peacock feather-shaped icon at the bottom of the screen.

"Vita, fire a shot," Chen Luo said to Vita beside him.

"Oh." Vita pulled the trigger of the Friendship Revolver that was pressed against her head.

"Click!"

Nothing happened, but Vita's body trembled slightly.

This friendship revolver was harmless, but laughing for 10 minutes would ruin her image as a pretty girl, so Vita was still a little worried.

"Look how scared you are... Considering that you've been regularly cleaning the room for so many years, we'll let bygones be bygones on the fact that you've been using Gretchen's bedroom as an office."

"Thank you, boss!" Vita cheerfully returned the Friendship Revolver to Chen Le.

"but……"

"Ok?"

"Things like stealing Gretchen's authority to spread the sparks carried by the spaceship, the more I think about it, the angrier I get." Chen Luo clenched his fist.

"So?" Vita asked cautiously.

"Starting today, your salary will be halved until I'm happy."

"No! You might as well just shoot!" Vita cried out in anguish.

“Important items are well kept in the artificial spirit, but some things are missing, such as the crystal ball that Sister Eden gave me…” Gretchen didn’t pay attention to the interaction between Chen Luo and Vita, but instead searched for her old items in this somewhat unfamiliar bedroom.

Storage spaces are indeed very convenient, but the problem is that decorative items should always be placed outside the storage space.

If it is not appreciated, then the object of appreciation loses its meaning.

Therefore, these things are in this state of being lost.

“Oh, that one, it’s in the museum in Forlos now, but… it seems to be broken.” Vita’s voice trailed off as she said the last part.

"I see..." Gretsch seemed somewhat disappointed after hearing this.

Fortunately, the items are still there; they can be repaired using the weapon case...

"Collect everything you took from the spaceship, and... deduct the cost of the weapon crates used for maintenance from your salary," Chen Luo said coldly.

“I know…” Vita’s voice trailed off, as if she had died.

"Hmm, speaking of Sota... Vita, do you think you still have feelings for this Forlos?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"There shouldn't be any more, right?"

“I think there’s something else. Just something… because I only punched him once, so it’ll only be something. You know… if I really beat So back to some humanity, and then threaten her to destroy Fros if she doesn’t make a wish, would that work?” Chen Luo and Vita whispered to each other.

It's not appropriate to discuss things like this in front of Gretchen.

Even now, Chen Luo's age is less than a fraction of Gretchen's.

"Boss, are you a devil?" Vita looked at Chen Luo in horror.

"Hmm, that sounds like I'm not a good person. But what if I put it another way? I help So, who has lost her humanity, regain some of it, and then help her build Fros, who has inherited the flame of Fros's will... How about that?"

"Boss, you are such a kind person."

【Is this some kind of divine intervention?】

Chen Luo saw the feasibility of doing this through Vita, and the feasibility of threatening Vita herself by threatening Sa.

But to be honest, forced happiness is never sweet, and forced desires are never pleasant.

Don't worry about whether the melon is sweet or not, just twist it off the stem. Don't worry about whether the raw stone tastes good or not, just extract the juice!

However... the important thing now is that you should take Gretchen home.

“That makes sense. Gretchen, let’s go home for dinner.”

"Hmm?" Gretchen turned her head.

Where to go back?

……

"Oh my, my lovely Gretchen has grown so much. Let me rub her face..."

"Sister Alicia, it's been so long..." Gretchen, whose face was being affectionately rubbed by Alicia, was unable to utter a complete sentence.

Although Gretchen knew that this was Alicia's affection for her and her longing for her after not seeing her for so long, wasn't this a bit too enthusiastic?

"Don't call me Sister Alicia, call me Little Sister Alicia. It's been so long, have you even forgotten this? I'm so sad..." Alicia flew up and pressed Gretsch directly against her chest.

"Um..."

"Alright, Ellie, don't get so agitated. Gretchen is almost out of breath." In the end, it was Aponia who saved the large Gretchen who was about to stop breathing.

"Phew... Mother Aponia, it's been a long time." Gretchen, relieved, showed a look of longing when she saw the elders other than Ellie.

Aponia and Gretchen have a very good relationship, or rather, an excessively good one.

For a long time after Blanca was lost, and for a long time before Blanca was still alive, Gretchen was looked after and cared for by Aponia, a person who was considered very dangerous by everyone.

Others might fear Aponia out of fear of rumors, but Gretchen, who can see through a person's true nature and is surprisingly simple-minded, is one of the few children who treats Aponia with normal indifference.

Perhaps out of nostalgia for the children in the sanatorium, or perhaps because Aponia already felt she could love Gretchen enough, Aponia took on the role of a mother to Gretchen after Blanca disappeared, as Gretchen caused several uncontrollable incidents by naively depicting the colors of others.

Gretchen was like a wanderer who had left home, and when she saw a familiar elder, her emotions surged.

Eden, Kosmo, Velvet, two Sues, two Kevins...

And the most delightful interaction is between the two Gretas.

Unfortunately, the conversation between the two Gretschs was much simpler, because both of them could see the colors emanating from each other.

Little Gretchen's colors seemed to remain constant, while Big Gretchen, after a long period of travel, had more vibrant colors and some even more unique hues.

With just one glance, little Greta knew that big Greta seemed to have been through a lot.

Aside from the younger Greta, the conversation between the older Greta and another person is even more anticipated.

"Long time no see, Aunt Mebius."

"It's my older sister."

"Pfft~ Long time no see, Sister Mebius." Gretchen's face lit up with a smile.

Despite his notorious reputation, Mebius never mistreated Gretchen and always took good care of her.

After meeting so many elders, Gretchen relaxed and was able to joke around easily.

"Well, it's good that you're back... Have you laughed enough?" Memory Mébius turned his head to look at the side, somewhat annoyed.

"Hahaha...hiccup." Chen Luo covered his mouth.

Chen Luo admitted that he had indeed laughed a little loudly just now, but...

"Alright, Mebius, you're already over 5 years old, how could you possibly have age anxiety?" Chen Luo waved his hand and said.

"..." by Mebius, Velvi, and Alicia.

Chen Luo's sweeping generalization is a bit too broad.

With one shot, he blasted all the girls in the paradise of the past.

Even Eden and Aponia, who don't care much about age, were slightly affected by Chen Luo's influence.

Alicia puffed out her cheeks quite noticeably, then turned her eyes and pulled Gretsch over, whispering something in Gretsch's ear.

Big Gresh's eyes lit up, but she hesitated for a moment. However, no one knew what Alicia had said to Big Gresh, but Big Gresh seemed to be moved in the end and walked towards Chen Luo with some hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Chen Luo asked, holding his teacup.

Gretchen ignored Chen Luo's question and continued walking towards him after getting within a meter of him, until Chen Luo, who was sitting in a chair, was pressed into the shadows by Gretchen.

"Gresh, what do you want to do?" Chen Luo subconsciously turned his head to the side.

[Ding! You have a new request!]
