Toppa's sudden shout startled Zhang Zhang so much that she flew up.

"That's how people are when they're drunk... This is probably the first time you've ever seen Topa drunk, right?"

Liu Bai sighed.

"Seriously, I can't be paying attention to everyone's girlish fantasies all the time, can I?"

"?"

Zhangzhang didn't quite understand, and could only circle around Toppa twice.

"Don't worry, she's fine... She even threw up all over me. It's hard to say whether I should reflect on my actions or she should... Maybe I should look for problems in other people."

Liu Bai sighed and placed Toppa on the bed.

"She's finished vomiting, and I fed her some milk... She should sober up in a while. Well, I hope she can sleep like a log for a while... Well, there's something odd about saying that."

Should we really hope that "others are like dead pigs"?

"call--!??"

"Hey, stop extracting keywords! And you're not a pig, are you?"

Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.

See? He really can't worry about everything—even if he really wanted to.

"Speaking of which...have you been spending all your days playing with Vorona lately?"

Zhang Zhang's main ability is treasure hunting; if Toppa were just sitting in an office, he wouldn't need Zhang Zhang to accompany him all the time.

“Hehe——!”

"...It wasn't eaten after all."

Although Vrona is not a wild beast, neither is the piggy bank.

It's probably quite normal for a Honkai Beast of the level of Vrona to occasionally "consume" some imaginary energy, right?

"No, it's okay, forget I said anything."

Liu Bai grabbed Zhang Zhang, who seemed startled, and shook his head. "Anyway, if your master is restless in his sleep, turns over, falls to the ground, or simply sleeps in a daze, he can come to me."

Zhang Zhang nodded very forcefully.

Okay, at least we can still see the beginning.

"Having a pet that understands human emotions is so convenient."

Liu Bai let out a breath and released the account book. As for Emerald's side, Liu Bai could only ask the Herrscher of Control for help.

...That's really worrying.

How about we call Rita?

...But it was rather embarrassing for Rita to hear Emerald's drunken ramblings, and it also took up Rita's rest time.

Never mind, I'll call it anyway.

After all, although he gave the same instructions to the Law Master as he did to the Accountant, but...

The Ruler of Domination is clearly not as easy to deal with as Accountant!

...No, maybe I should try to trust the Herrscher of Domination a little more?

After all, all the changes made by the Herrscher of Dominion are real... no, since we've already decided to look for problems in others, let's stop thinking about things that aren't there!

Calling Rita—!

-

"...I am truly exhausted, both physically and mentally."

Liu Bai rubbed his back as he walked down the quiet corridor late at night.

With a major battle imminent, it seems that the lives of all frontline personnel, except for him, have become forcibly regularized.

Logistics follow the schedules of frontline personnel.

A long-lost silence.

As if he had just thought of something, Liu Bai leaned against the railing and took out his phone.

Has Fu Xuan's room been arranged? What did she say?

Kafka probably stayed up all night waiting for her reward, right?

【Of course I'm very satisfied~ Darling, don't you trust me? ☆】

Such a sweet reply! You can tell that Kaffa is very excited right now.

but……

I have something to do tonight, how about we reschedule the reward for another day?

【>?】

Hey, is it really not Firefly or Silver Wolf who took Kafka's phone?

Okay, since you've said so, darling~ But... if it takes too long to give it to me, I'll have to come and get it myself~

【(? ??)?】

Goodnight~

Three shots in quick succession.

...Who taught you to use such cute emoticons?

It makes one really curious what expression Kafka has right now, looking at her phone in bed.

Ah, woman, you've successfully caught my attention... But even so, I need to get some rest today!

Liu Bai put away his phone and sighed.

Dealing with two drunkards who were after him was more tiring than tilling twenty fields.

Well, you can't just say that. If the drunkard is someone like Huang Quan or Fei Xiao who already has a clear relationship with you... and then he takes the initiative to touch you inappropriately, then it wouldn't be a problem if you did it in return.

Alternatively, the target could be a prisoner like Eleanor from before, who could trigger a defeat CG. If the method is appropriate, the purpose is reasonable, and there is a cleanup afterwards, a defeat CG could be unlocked—after all, Liu Bai is not as grotesque as the real devil.

However, the positions of topaz and jade are a bit awkward.

"I can't possibly consider whether someone's drunken outburst is for my own convenience, can I?"

Liu Bai leaned against the railing and took a breath.

"Or should I drink more? But that seems a bit difficult..."

The only time Liu Bai got drunk... well, it was during Kaffa's time, when Kaffa took advantage of him with her Word of Power.

Although when others finally arrived, they saw Liu Bai forcibly raping Kaffa, but in reality, it was Liu Bai who was forcibly raped by Kaffa.

"...It's so heavy, thankfully I don't have stomach problems or anything...I really want to listen to NetEase Cloud Music..."

Taking care of two drunkards made Liu Bai feel ecstatic late at night.

"...Forget it, I'll just go back to sleep. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow I'll start to think again that being able to find beautiful girls to do ○ anytime, anywhere is a really cool thing...I'm fantasizing again, fantasizing about just having sex and not taking responsibility, fantasizing about not having to work and being able to lie down and be a useless person..."

No, even though his physique was almost beyond the limits of ordinary people, Liu Bai still felt a stomachache.

Will I become one of those comedic characters who is "incredibly strong but has a stomach ailment"?

Late at night, Emo's Liu Bai walked heavily towards his room.

……

"Should we say that those two are indeed worthy of being among the Ten Stone Hearts, or should we say that Lord Liu Bai truly possesses great talent and ambition?"

Fu Xuan closed the last document and recorded what he had seen and learned in the notebook he found.

"Although the framework is still chaotic, the objectives are clear, and the execution of orders is quite fast... Lord Liu Bai is similar to General Jing Yuan."

However, the venue was too small for Fu Xuan to judge whether Liu Bai or Jing Yuan was better.

As for the issue of a chaotic framework... Fu Xuan's assessment was that it could be forcibly changed, but it was unnecessary.

The core of this issue should be to make the group more efficient and united, rather than to make it more rigid and dogmatic.

If this allows us to exert greater combat power, then let's keep it this way.

Jing Yuan sometimes allows himself appropriate "leniency," though Fu Xuan prefers to call it "cunning."

...However, Fu Xuan did not know that the real reason for not changing it was that if the framework were really changed, most of the middle and senior management personnel would be categorized into the "harem" category.

However, it couldn't be written so lightly in the document; Jade listed several reasons in a very organized manner.

Looking at the documents alone, Fu Xuan couldn't find a single flaw.

"With this level of understanding, we should be able to make detailed records tomorrow."

Although not a professional historian, Fu Xuan still possessed the basic qualities one would expect.

"During this time, I will also be able to adapt well to the enhanced observation capabilities."

Fu Xuan put the documents back in their place, got into bed, turned off the light, and began to plan his future.

Planning for the future—that's a phrase we haven't heard in a long time.

In truth, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the vast majority of people, including myself, will be unable to arrive at a single solution because of our connection with Liu Bai.

Really...

Wonderful.

Even after suffering the blow of his master's death, Fu Xuan still believed deep down that the future of the only solution and those who firmly believed in it were... very tragic.

Fu Xuan took off his clothes, folded them neatly in the darkness, and placed them aside, as if he had practiced them dozens of times.

...It doesn't matter if we just look at the future of folding clothes.

The countless possibilities of the future could render divination meaningless.

No... this is the true meaning of divination.

Find the future you want amidst endless choices, rather than blindly following the so-called "answer".

Fu Xuan sometimes even felt that the future he saw was like a shackle that would eradicate many possibilities for the future.

But now, that feeling of constraint is gone.

She... might be able to go even further in the art of divination.

(There's no need to calculate that far ahead...)

Then, Fu Xuan crawled into the quilt.

This blanket is so... soft?

It's normal for a quilt to be soft, but this kind of softness and comfort...

It's not the feeling you get from a blanket that hasn't been used for a long time.

Would a competent maid also use the blanket?

Fu Xuan subconsciously pulled the blanket tighter around himself.

So soft... so warm it makes me sleepy.

—How could a maid possibly use the blanket?

Fu Xuan, who had just started to feel sleepy, immediately widened his eyes.

"...No, there's no need to make such a fuss. Judging from these documents and the usage of the writing materials, someone must have stayed here recently...probably a scribe or something similar?"

Fu Xuan pondered for a moment. The room was so clean that it didn't seem like someone lived there regularly... and if someone really did live there, they would have come back long ago.

...How about we use our divine eye to do a little divination?

Fu Xuan wasn't the type of person who liked to perform divination anytime, anywhere. The time he was folding clothes was a deliberate divination he was suppressing.

...Anyway, we have to start practicing with inanimate objects, so why not try some divination to see what's in the past?

After all, there's no need to divine the future if you want to know who has lived in this room.

"...There's no rush."

Fu Xuan yawned.
