After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

"What do you think?" Orange blew out a puff of smoke. "After all, floating battleships have nothing to do with my expertise, and I don't want to get involved at all. But Otto still forced it on me, and I'm helpless."

It’s not related to Director Orange’s major?

Wuliangta Jizi thought for a moment and said, "I remember that your professional field is... ergonomics, right? You mainly focus on prosthetics and bionic people, as well as automatic dolls... and there are also several fields related to energy engineering?"

"It's pretty much the same. To be specific, it's like this - snap!"

In front of Himeko Murata, Orange broke his arm directly, but the incredible thing was that there was nothing wrong with the arm itself, no blood spurting out and no wounds, and it was even pressed back into place the next second.

"My current body is an automaton that I developed myself, and the parts of each part have long been replaced. Well, you can ask your landlord about the relevant situation. He is my only disciple and is quite familiar with this aspect."

"Similarly, if you don't know anything about the floating battleship, you can ask him. He is a pushover. If he sees you in trouble, he will not stand idly by. If it really doesn't work, just put a few drops of eye drops in and deliberately make yourself cry. He will turn into a good man who spoils you to the sky in a matter of minutes."

(...Director, you are so skilled!)

Wuliangta Jizi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

He could easily come up with a whole set of methods to deal with Xia Chuanhu. This must not be his first offense. He must have done this many times before to have summed up such a skilled process! He knew Xia Chuanhu's strengths and weaknesses clearly!

"Director...you and Xiachuan are really familiar with each other? But Xiachuan Hu didn't mention you much."

"Of course. After all, I have never met him in the past five years, and my knowledge of him is limited to my intelligence network. But even if it is only the part that the intelligence network can collect, it is enough. He is still the one I know."

(I have never met Xia Chuan, but I am very familiar with Xia Chuan, and I even say that I am an acquaintance of Xia Chuan...)

A trace of doubt and confusion arose in Wuliangta Jizi's heart.

Is it possible...

"Are you imagining something?"

Orange's voice interrupted Jizi's thoughts, causing her to quickly shake her head.

"No, no, I just want to express my admiration for the relationship between the director and Xia Chuan. After all, what you said is really... strange? Or subtle?"

"Well, objectively speaking, that's indeed the feeling."

Orange took another deep puff and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, it is true that I know him unilaterally, and he doesn't know me yet. But as I said, he and I are old acquaintances, and we have known each other for longer than you have been old, so it is not important whether he recognizes me now or not. Even if he and I meet again after ten years, we won't feel alienated. Ten years is just a nap for him and me."

“…Is that so?”

Wuliangta Jizi began to lose track of the pace. She vaguely remembered that she came to work today, so how come she was suddenly here listening to her director talking about old stories?

Director Chengzi has said so, so how old is Xia Chuanhu this year? No matter how you look at him, he must be around 20 years old, right?

"I've said too much. Come with me. I'll take you to your personal research institute. I'll give you three days to get familiar with your work, and then you can officially start the project you're in charge of. If you encounter any difficulties, go find Xia Chuan. I've told you the method. If you can build a floating battleship within two years, you'll stay with me. If you can't, you'll leave here."

"I...I understand!"

The fact that things suddenly became serious made Ji Zi's expression involuntarily serious.

"By the way, the things I just said... Forget it, it's up to you whether you want to tell Xia Chuan or not. I think it doesn't matter when we meet."

"......Yes."

Although she still didn't quite understand it, Wuliangta Jizi could probably guess what her director was thinking.

15. Vita: Heartbreak.jpd

Then, time passed quickly and it was evening.

At the dining table in Xiachuan's house.

“Woooa ...

Seeing Himeko lying on the dining table, spitting out some kind of translucent unknown object from her mouth, Vita, who had just finished a whole day of FPS shooting games, couldn't help but poke Natsukawa Tora beside her curiously: "Tora, what happened to Himeko? Is she going to work today? She looks like she's half dead."

"Take away the feeling, and it's basically half dead."

As Xiachuan Hu spoke, he grabbed the translucent unidentified object and forced it back into Jizi's body. Jizi seemed to have a last burst of energy and slowly became much more energetic.

"Ah, resurrected?"

"I'm not dead, Vita."

Standing up, Wuliangta Jizi sighed slightly, "It's just that I received too much information at once today, and the work content is too much, so I'm exhausted. For a newcomer who just graduated this year to be in charge of an entire floating battleship manufacturing project... No matter how you look at it, it's too much."

Build a floating battleship?

Xia Chuanhu raised his eyebrows: "Is the Saint 1504 Research Institute also responsible for this?"

"The director said that the bishop had arranged this a few years ago, but because he couldn't find any outstanding personnel in the relevant profession, it had been put on hold until I went to work today and all of it was handed over to me in one go... After all, building a floating battleship from scratch in two years is too much of a task!"

Muliangta Himeko said this almost in a complaining tone.

For the entire day, after being taken to her personal laboratory by Orange, she spent all her time familiarizing herself with the working environment and work content!

It's not like she hasn't been to a laboratory before. When she was studying at California Institute of Technology, she gained experience in some laboratories. She also visited Walter Young's laboratory.

But Tianming’s laboratory was completely different from the laboratory she knew!

It took her a whole morning just to familiarize herself with the equipment and read the manual! In the afternoon, she had to learn about the relevant content of the floating battleship and plan the design from scratch... After several years, this project didn't even have the most basic design blueprint!

Thanks to this, Ji Zi now feels like she is half dead, and her head is so swollen that it seems like it is going to burst because of too much information stuffed into it.

"...I don't really understand, but you've worked hard."

Natsukawa Tora gently placed his hand on Himeko's head, "I apologize if I offended you, but this should make you feel better."

After saying that, Xia Chuanhu gently rubbed his hands, and soft magic was slowly released from his hands - this can be said to be a kind of massage magic, but in essence it is a simple magic operation. Some people in the Xia Chuan family are teachers, and some are monarchs in the clock tower. Headaches and poor spirits are common.

Since ordinary massage has little effect, Xia Chuanhu came up with this magic massage.

As for the effect...it can only be said to be top-notch!

"Hmm~~~~"

Feeling the comfort and slight vibrations slowly spreading from the top of her head to her whole body, Wuliangta Jizi couldn't help but cry out softly a few times. She now felt as if she was lying in a massage chair, her whole body being massaged, especially her head. She originally had a terrible headache, but now it felt quite comfortable.

"Tiger, it feels so good~~~"

"As long as you are comfortable, you can always come to me if you need anything. After all, we live under the same roof. I can help you with any favors, big or small."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

(It’s just like what the director said. Xiachuan is really a good person.)

Just as Wuliangta Jizi was thinking this.

Vita beside Xiachuanhu...

"Clap!"

The chopsticks in her hand had broken at some point... No, it couldn't be said to be broken. It looked as if they had been crushed by someone, and then the upper half fell down naturally.

As for her eyes, they were fixed on Xiachuanhu's hand placed on Jizi's head.

"..."

Bianca, who was sitting next to Jizi, looked at the scene in front of her, and many thoughts flashed through her little head quickly, but she instinctively felt that it would be best for her to say nothing at this time and just eat quietly.

The dinner table suddenly became very quiet, with only Ji Zi's continuous humming being heard.

After massaging Jizi for a while, Xiachuanhu took his hand back: "This should be enough, how does it feel, Jizi?"

"Much better~~~~It really feels so comfortable~~~~"

Ji Zi said with a damp and flushed face. She even felt that her body was so weak that she couldn't stand up. "I feel like I want to be massaged like this by you every day in the future."

"sure."

"Eh? Is that okay? I'm just saying it casually... Is it too much trouble for you?"

"No - huh? Vita, why are you poking me?"

Xiachuanhu grabbed the Hell Burial Knife that Vita had placed on his waist, but Vita just continued to drill it a few more times, then pointed to her head: "I want it too."

"You want a massage too?"

"Ok!"

"...No, I don't think you should." Xia Chuanhu thought for a while and put his hand on Vita's head, with five fingers slightly exerting force, "What kind of massage do you need as a young lady who is in front of the computer all day long? If you are exhausted from working outside like Jizi, I would be happy to do it, but you are just having fun. Do eye exercises properly!"

“It hurts! It hurts, it hurts! Tiger! It’s going to split, it’s really going to split!”

Boo!

Pulling her head out from under Xiachuanhu's five fingers, Vita covered her head with tears in her eyes: "Hu, you are an idiot, a bastard, and a domestic violence man."

"Don't talk nonsense about the last one. It's pure fabrication. Don't ruin my reputation."

Xia Chuanhu really loves his lover. Even if she is a flower succubus who feels uncomfortable if she doesn't cause trouble every day and wishes there would be chaos and world war every day, he still loves her very much - according to the saying that beating is love and scolding is love, hanging her on an electric fan and whipping her with a whip is also a manifestation of love, right?

"Compared to this, Himeko, besides being tired on your first day at work, you should have some other feelings, right?"

"Ah~~~~ Yeah, there are a lot."

Ji Zi, who had regained some energy, took a bite of her meal and said, "It's worthy of being the most advanced research institute in Tianming. I can learn a lot of knowledge even just by chatting. It seems that a doctorate degree is useless here."

"I think so too."

"Another thing that surprised me is that the director actually knows you."

"Eh?"

Ji Zi's words made Xia Chuanhu puzzled for a rare moment: "The director of the Saint 1504 Research Institute? She said she knows me?"

"Well, her name is Orange, a very strange director. It seems that she has transformed her body into an automatic doll... I don't know if it's magic or real. Xia Chuan, do you have any impression of her?"

"..."

orange.

Body modification.

Automata.

Even after talking about this point, if Xiachuanhu still can't remember, then he probably really is suffering from senile amnesia.

Just...what's going on?

Orange——It is impossible for someone to use this name as his real name in this world, right?

"Natsukawa?"

"Eh? Ah... Sorry, I was thinking about something. I do remember the name [Orange], if that is really the [Orange] I know."

Vita frowned: "Is he someone you know?"

"Yes, an old acquaintance. She was one of my teachers when I was a student and is also my wife in legal terms."

“Oh, teacher and wife… um————?!”

The expression on Vita's face shattered.

16. Vita, the Miserable Concubine

It's around eight o'clock in the evening.

"Then I'll be out for a while and will be back soon."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Watching Xia Chuanhu leave from the entrance, the smile on Vita's face immediately shrank back to some corner. She went back to the living room and rummaged around for a while, and soon found a new outfit!

Black sunglasses, dark long windbreaker, mask, beret.

"...What are you doing, Vita?"

Seeing Vita dressed like this, Ji Zi, who had just walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, asked with a complicated expression - she felt like a stalker or private detective in a TV show - she didn't say this out loud.

And Vita also took off her mask, her eyes were quite serious: "Of course I am going to follow the tiger!"

"..."

This person said some very remarkable words with great integrity!

Trying to maintain a smile that was about to collapse, Ji Zi asked again: "Why do you suddenly want to follow Xia Chuan?"
