I already said this is not a life simulator!

"That won't happen this time, my 'blood'."

"In the future, it will most likely not happen again."

"So... don't worry."

"……Um!"

Skadi tilted her head first, enjoying Xiwang's touch for a while, then she smiled and nodded gently in response.

"...Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really can't stand you guys at all."

He was silent for a while, and then as if he had just come to his senses, he took a deep look at Skadi who was obsessed with being stroked by Xiwang, shook his head, stretched out his hand, twisted his fingers lightly, and waved casually... no response.

"........."

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly... Didn't he just say a few words to Xi Wang? Why did Gray Xiu have to "sanction" him?

Well... Although it was somewhat embarrassing, it was okay. With another shake of his wrist, the paintbrush quietly appeared. With a casual "painting", his figure disappeared on the spot - using "painting" to move long distances quickly, they were now very skilled at it.

The only pity is that the coordinates of the space area cannot be reached directly by "drawing", but it doesn't matter, you can take your time~

As for why he was in such a hurry to leave...nonsense, if he didn't leave, would he stay here and be a light bulb?

And Skadi's move just now was really scary... As Xiwang's "blood relative", a kind of Honkai beast that is different from a "companion" but better than a "companion", she has not had much contact with "thoughts" so far.

Although it is not impossible to perceive her through "thoughts", she gives people the feeling that she is a "separate" individual... It is as if Xi Wang has given her a special permission.

But that's true. After all, the relationship between the two of them is more subtle than others think. After all, they are "blood-related" in the physical sense... Ahem, forget it, let's not mention it, so as to avoid being nagged and targeted again.

Moreover, Xi Wang's things are not over yet... Not long after that person left, a nimble figure jumped out of the "painting" accompanied by some brilliant and strange colors that appeared out of thin air and quickly faded away. The brightly colored fluffy hair revealed her identity.

"Brother, I'm going to make a scene."

However, as soon as Wei Liwei landed, she adjusted her hat out of habit, then put her hands on her hips, with obvious dissatisfaction on her face, and began to complain to Xi Wang.

Also, there are eight dark blue "eyes" extending from her back that look like joints and are connected like mechanical arms. Each of them shows different emotions.

However, except for one "eye" that still revealed the ignorance of a newborn baby, the other seven "eyes" all expressed the same meaning with different expressions - I am unhappy.

"You didn't even come to pick me up! I'm going to make a scene!!!"

"No! It's [us] who are going to cause trouble!"

Weiwei took a few steps forward, with undisguised resentment on her face, and a little bit of childishness, like a child throwing a tantrum.

"I was the first one to meet my brother... Strictly speaking, I'm not the first one to do that, but at least when it comes to reminiscing about the past and supporting my brother, I'm the first one!"

“I was the one who came here first!!!”

“…By the way, could you please stop making such loser-like remarks? [Me]?”

One of its "eyes" shifted slightly, looked at Weiwei, and then made a voice of its own using an unknown organ... Judging from the steady tone, it should be an "expert".

"You are a loser! Your whole family is a loser!"

"But aren't [we] you, and aren't you [we]?"

This tone, which carries a distinctly frivolous tone... maybe it means "extremely evil"?

"Or do you want to separate us? We can do that now, right? Actually, we don't mind. After all, there will be eight of us, so the competition will be fierce!"

Okay, okay, "Magician", you don't mind making trouble, right?

"In fact, including the new [compatriots], there should actually be nine people... Hmm."

... "Baiwei" please stop making trouble. You've never been so good at talking before? Are you infected?

Oh, no, these people are all from "Vilvi", there is no such thing as "being infected"... They are just like this.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense... If you continue like this, I'm afraid that Wei Wei's CPU will burn out."

Xi Wang reached out and flicked Wei Erwei's head with his fingers, drawing their attention back.

"No way... [Brother], are you underestimating me?"

Weiwei first rubbed her forehead subconsciously... Although she didn't feel how painful this force was in her current position, she still wanted to rub it, trying to relieve the non-existent pain.

"But I'm still very angry."

Weiwei brought the topic back.

"My brother didn't come to pick me up! I'm not happy!"

"What a childish temper."

"Really boring."

"So lame...let me take over."

The other "Wei Wei" were still making sarcastic remarks.

"Ha... so tell me, what do you want, Velvet?"

Xiwang smiled and just asked this.

"........."

However, when it really came to this moment, Wei Erwei fell silent, and the other "Wei Erwei" didn't say anything extra. Except for the "eye" that was still a little confused, the other "eyes" looked at Wei Erwei and each other, and finally looked at Xi Wang very seriously.

"We... hope you can accept our apology, Brother."

Whether it’s the “first time” or the “third time”…it’s always the same.

The indifference of the "first time", the lack of concern for Xi Wang's situation... considering the situation at that time, it was indeed natural. After all, they were not familiar with each other, and Xi Wang's identity at the time was too delicate and dangerous. It was normal for Wei Erwei to act according to orders.

But no matter what... Xi Wang ended up like that, and it was somewhat her fault.

As for the "third time", there is no need to mention it.

Although the "Lawyer" interfered, no matter what, she was the one who pressed the button and clicked the confirmation button with her own hands, and this will not change.

"Ha... I knew it."

Xi Wang sighed, then smiled, reached out, and lightly touched Wei Wei's forehead with his finger.

"I've said this many times... Let the past be the past. For things like those that cannot be changed, just remember them and move on. That's all."

"There's really no need to apologize."

"But if there is a fault, it must be acknowledged. An apology is unnecessary, but it doesn't mean it is not needed, right, [Brother]?"

Weiwei raised her head and said this.

"I can sense that Brother is in a better mood just now... I never thought Brother is such a hypocrite~"

"……I knew it."

Xi Wang rolled his eyes and ignored Wei Erwei's teasing. At the same time, he stretched out his finger, pressed against her head, and gently pushed her away from him.

"Okay, are you satisfied?"

"Well, that's it!"

Wei Erwei blinked, and took a few steps back obediently, no longer sticking to Xi Wang.

It’s okay…there will be plenty of time and plenty of opportunities after this.

"This time", [Brother] is just laying the groundwork, so... it's okay.

"Next time", she will still be the first one, [they] will still be the first one, she has this confidence.

Because she is Velvet.

[They] are “Vilvi”.

"Well then! Next~"

Wei Erwei blinked again and again in coordination with the "eyes" behind her. All of a sudden, her expression changed slightly, and her eyes seemed to have exchanged with one of the "eyes", and the look in her eyes became different.

Hmm... this is the "Magician" for sure.

“It’s time to start setting up the [stage]!”

He raised his hand, intentionally guiding the gaze of the "audience" who were not sure whether they existed or not, and elegantly took off the gorgeous "everlasting flower" from his magic hat. He sniffed it at the tip of his nose with a slight performance gesture, then raised his hand high and "presented" it.

The "Immortal Flower" slowly slipped from her hand, and then... it dispersed and dissolved the moment it touched the ground, turning into nano-level "individuals" that dispersed, and began to replicate itself continuously under the blessing of massive Honkai energy.

Immediately, the ground seemed to be "boiling" and began to "vibrate" one by one, and this strange phenomenon was spreading rapidly.

At first it was just the floor of this room, then the walls, then the entire shelter, and finally... it began to spread to the yellow sand outside that was soaked by rain.

The scene that followed... was somewhat horrifying.

The desert areas that should have been dry... are gradually beginning to accumulate water and grow lush vegetation. The overall environment is rapidly changing towards a swamp-like environment.

The air around, which had already become a little humid due to the rain, became even more humid at this moment, and... it also began to slowly take on a little salty taste like sea water.

The ground has changed, and so has the sky... Bubbles began to appear unconsciously with every breath, as if the air had turned into invisible sea water, and the ground that was supposed to exist had become the bottom of the sea.

Everything was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye to an environment close to the ocean, or in other words...an area that was more suitable for "Haisi", more suitable for Xiwang and their activities.

Haha... it's only natural to be able to do this, after all...

[Echo/Authority—Transformation]

【The environment should join "us"】

"Everyone, the [End] has arrived!"

Weiwei gently wiped her magic hat, and the "everlasting flower" reappeared in its original position, as if it had never disappeared and never withered.

“Please take your respective [scripts] and put a commendable end to this [time]!”

"【Curtain Call Performance】is about to begin!"

"........."

"Have you had enough fun? If you have, you should return your body to me."

"No! You're being too slow. When facing someone like my brother, I should take the initiative! Look at me taking him down in one fell swoop... Ouch!"

"I'm still here, go on, I'm listening."

"'Sisters'... I always want to be 'partners' of 'blood relatives'... Why? We are already closer than 'partners'... How strange."

“These two represent different things!”

"Then why don't we just become "sisters" who are "blood relatives" and "partners" who are "blood relatives"? I... should be able to do that, too?"

"No, my 'blood relatives' are not calculated in this way..."

"But my fellow countrymen have told me about similar situations..."

Skadi was still confused.

"Is it not possible?"

"Can't……"

"Okay, okay!"

"Vilvi!!!"

…………

Compared to Xiwang's "relaxed and happy" situation, Padufils, who was still on the road, was standing in the desert in a daze...

"What is this?"

Just now, she watched as a desert area turned into a swamp in front of her, and then turned into an ocean-like area... The air that came into her nose also changed from dry sand and dust to moist air, and finally to a salty and humid sea breeze.

All the changes were visible to the naked eye. An entire area... was "transformed" right before her eyes.

"........."

Padua Felice looked into the distance, at the area that had been "transformed"...that was where she was supposed to be going. Sakura and the others were there, waiting for rescue.

And now...it seems that there is no need for rescue anymore.

Silence, and only silence.

In the end, she could only grit her teeth, turn around, leave quickly, and bring the news back to "Fire Moth" as quickly as possible to tell Mei and the others.

This is... the best way.
