I love time travel the most!

"...Don't cry, I'm perfectly fine."

"But, but..."

"It's okay, it's okay now."

"Ah."

The siblings smiled.

In a moment of deep family affection, Xiaolin felt that she was an eyesore.

Turning to look at Professor Kimberly, whose attire was quite different from usual, or rather, at the long robe she was wearing.

It's probably not an ordinary robe; I can sense a faint magical aura emanating from it, so it must have been imbued with some kind of special magic, such as concealment, silence, or aura masking.

Moreover, it must be exceptionally sophisticated and powerful; otherwise, given his eyesight, the "Five Visions All-Powerful" ability would have made it impossible for him not to detect her presence.

They've underestimated the power of magic in this world.

Kimberly noticed Kobayashi's gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

“No, I was just thinking about what position you're in here, Professor Kimberly. Are you representing the Academy, or the Crusades? Or perhaps…” Kobayashi lowered his voice, and Loki and Frey looked at Kimberly nervously, afraid that she would say something about punishing them.

Kimberly looked at Kobayashi with interest: "You even know about the [Grey Cross]? Looks like you have secrets too."

"You're joking. I know the Magic Association's watchdog has such a great reputation."

——This is a lie.

Actually, it was something Xiaolin saw using her [mind-reading] ability, but she said it on purpose to create an air of mystery and intimidate the other party.

But Kimberly shook her head.

"No, that's not it. I was asked by someone who was being played by a student and got angry and gave me a long lecture. They were concerned about the student but didn't know how to get involved, so they asked me for help."

What are you saying? I don't understand.

Her explanation was too complicated, and Xiaolin was completely confused. In the end, she simply and directly used the "Five Visions" technique to find out who it was from the other person's mind.

——Hualiuzhai Glass.

She asked Kimberly for help, and at the same time secretly sent information about the orphanage to the Magicians' Association.

She clearly had powerful backers, but why she did this remained a mystery to Kobayashi.

As they spoke, numerous puppeteers dressed in black coats silently appeared around them. None of them spoke; they were all quietly cleaning up the mess.

Kobayashi wisely pretended to be blind, acting as if he couldn't see them at all.

Loki, too, remained silent about the black-robed man who had suddenly arrived at his home.

They only spoke again after the courtyard had been cleaned up once more.

Kimberly said, "Let's go, Loki. You're still badly injured. If you don't get treatment soon, you'll really die."

"No, no, no, actually I already used magic on Loki and healed all his injuries." Kobayashi gave a thumbs up, taking credit while deliberately being sullen: "What a pity, Loki, you won't be able to enjoy the meticulous care of the angels in white."

"Really? My injuries are completely healed. If you have this ability, why didn't you use it sooner! Also, that last sentence was unnecessary!" Loki glared at Kobayashi with displeasure.

Having recovered from his injuries and no longer needing assistance, he thought he was fine again. His personality was exactly like Sasuke Uchiha's.

No matter how much you beat someone like that, they never learn. Xiaolin is already used to it.

But she still teased him deliberately, "Really? You don't need the care of a nurse? Of course, you wouldn't look down on a regular nurse, but if it were Frey... if it were her, what would you do?"

"Sister, sister..."

Loki paused for a moment.

In that instant, an image flashed through his mind.

Frey, dressed in a nurse's uniform, gently wiped his sweat, finally experiencing her sister's care after all these years... or something like that.

"But it's a pity!"

"what?"

"Your injuries have healed, and you no longer need Frey's care."

"……Eh?"

click!

His illusions shattered; Frey, the angel in white, had vanished from Loki's sight, and he was utterly devastated.

"You, you bastard...!"

"Angry?"

“I am humble and tolerant... but there are still three types of people I cannot forgive: those who order me around, those who defy me, and those who deliberately mock me at times like these!”

So what if I'm just teasing you!

The tension between the two was palpable. Loki clenched his fists as if about to attack, but Frey stopped him.

"Loki, fight! You're naughty! Kobayashi, Kobayashi...we're family! We're going to have ten kids!"

"...Huh?" X2

Kobayashi and Loki were dumbfounded.

After looking around, Frey finally realized she had said the wrong thing. Her face flushed with anger, her eyes darted around, and she became flustered.

Then he raised his hands high, making a gesture as if summoning a demon. Jomi rushed over, mounted him, and fled back to the room as fast as he could.

Kobayashi and Loki looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Hey, you're not really going to ask your sister to have ten kids for you, are you?!"

"Do you think Frey is a pig?"

"What?! You dare call my sister a pig?!"

"No! I mean Frey could never have ten children!"

"You think your sister can't do it? I'll kill you!"

"...What's wrong with you?!"

With the murder of D-works' founder, "Father" Bronson, Frey and Loki are finally relieved of their burdens, the misunderstanding between the siblings is resolved, and Kobayashi also gains a lot (but doesn't get any benefits).

Everyone has a bright future.

Chapter 157 Axis Orphanage

Kimberly is both a professor at the academy and a member of the Mage's Association. Thanks to her efforts behind the scenes, Kobayashi, Loki, and Frey's illegal outing records were erased, and their automatons were spared confiscation.

The orphanage was not abandoned, and all the children survived.

But although everything seems to be going well, there are still some troubles that haven't been resolved.

—The White God Children in the orphanage.

The experimental subjects created by "Father" Bronson possess magical powers far exceeding those of ordinary people. If not properly managed, they could be sent to another experimental field or to the battlefield, which would lead to another disaster, something Kobayashi does not want to see.

So we need to think of a solution.

Should we hand it over to the Academy? Or to the Grey Cross? Or perhaps ask Glass for help?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't work.

Just as he was feeling troubled, Frey came to his door and said that something strange had happened at the orphanage and asked him to come and take a look.

We arrived at the orphanage.

"What's the matter?"

Xiaolin saw many strangers walking back and forth in the orphanage. Some were taking measurements, some were transporting materials, and some were pushing houses, as if they were about to carry out large-scale renovations.

I didn't understand what had happened for a moment.

Could it be that the Empire discovered D-works' RT experiments and therefore forcibly reclaimed the facility to save face?

After all, Kimberly is a member of the Mage's Association, so she can do so without asking Frey and the others for their consent.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed like a standard butler stepped forward.

He first gave an elegant bow, then said politely, "I'm sorry, this area has been fenced off and unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering. I'm truly sorry if this has caused you any inconvenience."

"No, no one else... um... but... this is my home..."

Frey was devastated.

Imagine this: you take your dog out the door, happily heading to school, and suddenly your house is burgled. How could you possibly feel good?

"Your home? Could it be that you are Miss Frey?"

The housekeeper stepped forward to confirm.

Frey huddled closer to Kobayashi, looking scared, and said timidly, "Y-I'm Frey."

The butler nodded, then looked at Kobayashi and Ryuu, focusing his gaze on the elegant and glamorous waiter. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "You must be Mr. Kobayashi! This lady next to you must be Miss Ryuu!"

He is very determined.

Kobayashi was a little taken aback because the other party confirmed his identity through Ryuu.

"I'm Kobayashi, and I don't know who you are..."

"I am the master's butler!"

"What are you doing here? Judging from your clothes, I can tell you're the butler. The question is, who is your master?" But the butler had an expression that said, "You definitely know," leaving Xiaolin speechless for a moment. It would be impolite to ask any further.

"Mr. Butler."

You can just call me Sebastian.

"Aha?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Kobayashi?"

"...No, I just think the name is nice."

"That's what the master said too!"

The butler, Sebastian, was delighted, whether because of his name or because Kobayashi and the "master" shared the same taste.
