I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

“Yes… teacher, I understand.” The blond prince nodded slightly to his teacher: “Not taking her with you is the best choice.”

"I just don't know when we'll meet again, even if it's just from afar..."

Before he could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly reached the ears of the three of them.

“Your Highness, it won’t be long before you see your sister again.” Ike emerged from the shadows, a leisurely smile on his face. “The entanglement of fate between the twins is not something that can be easily resolved.”

"Although the future still seems blurry to me, your interactions with your sister—no, it should be said that our interactions with your sister—will become more and more frequent."

"She plays an extraordinary role in the vortex of fate in this world."

"Perhaps all the hope we have been waiting for lies in her hands."

"Hmm??" [Gold] frowned. "What do you mean?"

"It cannot be said, nor need it be said. Our connection with her will naturally appear when the time is right."

Ike smiled mysteriously, then changed the subject: "Let's talk about something else."

He casually found a spot, sat cross-legged, and placed a staff, taller than himself, between his knees.

"For example, Morax, the Geo Archon, the ruler of Liyue. He completely exceeded my expectations."

Ike looked surprised: "I didn't expect that he would also touch upon the realm of time and the world, and even more profoundly than I have."

"The longest-surviving ruling society is indeed extraordinary. No wonder Liyue and Mondstadt suffered the least damage during the cataclysmic disaster that struck from the sky five hundred years ago."

“Hmm, the realm of time and worlds…” The alchemist of [Gold] pondered for a few seconds: “Then, will he have any impact on our future goals?”

"I don't know," Ike replied casually, pulling out a handful of sunflower seeds from somewhere and cracking them open.

"Huh?? You don't know?"

Reinhardt was visibly taken aback, then his tone turned harsh: "How could you not know? Isn't time management one of your strengths?"

"Because the other person is a little bit stronger than me." Ike held up a sunflower seed, pinching it between his right thumb and forefinger. "Yeah, probably a little bigger than this seed."

"But, because of this one thing, I can't see through him, I can't understand him, and I can't even... comprehend him."

Ike's expression turned somewhat melancholy: "Just as you cannot understand the world I see, perhaps I cannot understand the world he sees either."

“So…” The witch jumped out, leaping onto one foot and raising one hand: “You just ran away.”

"Of course!!" Ike grinned and turned to look at the witch, giving her a high five. "Aren't we supposed to run away and wait for her to help us? We started fighting as soon as we met. If we don't run, we're all going to get beaten up."

“That’s true, if you need to run, you should run,” the witch replied with a grin.

"Hmph!" The alchemist of the [Gold] class snorted coldly, waved his robe, and his body instantly turned into flowing rock, merging into the ground.

She didn't want to listen to her companions' sarcastic remarks anymore.

"It's all my fault." The blond prince lowered his head in embarrassment. "If I hadn't jumped up and tried to fight my sister, the teacher probably wouldn't have intervened."

“Indeed, you were too impulsive, but it doesn’t matter.” Ike clapped his hands indifferently, knocking the sunflower seed shells off to the ground. “Anyway, even if we try to talk things out properly, they definitely won’t agree to our request.”

"The predetermined harmony of the world is a very troublesome thing. To avoid such harmony, there will definitely be very troublesome conditions. Even if the other party knows this, they will definitely not help us."

"I can be sure of that."

"So, it doesn't matter. Let's just pretend that Rock King Emperor doesn't exist."

"Hey! This isn't like you, Ike," the witch laughed. "You're not the kind of person who gives up so easily."

"What can I do? I can't beat him, and I can't be his ally, so I can only hide." Ike smiled, his staff automatically rose, and he pointed it at the ground, his figure instantly disappearing from the spot.

Only the sound still echoes.

"Your Highness, I wish you a pleasant reunion with your sister."

"This is Ike's blessing."

Volume 0, Chapter 7: Spider

Chapter 1 Chatting and the Arrival of Newcomers

Upon returning from the snow-capped mountains, the young traveler and Paimon eagerly bid farewell to Zhongli.

Since she had made up her mind, she was neither a fickle person nor someone who would back down at the last minute.

Following the course of fate, her first task was naturally to find a way to the next country, and that's what she did.

As the traveling girl left the courtyard, Zhong Li gave a barely perceptible nod.

Fu Hua frowned and said, "Zhongli, since you know everything, why don't you say anything? This girl being separated from her brother is not a pleasant thing."

“Although the Traveler looks like a young girl, she is not a young girl.” Zhongli looked at Fu Hua calmly: “Although I don’t know her exact age, I imagine she’s not much different from you, Fu Hua. After all, they are twins who can travel between worlds, and the things they have experienced and the worlds they have seen are probably more than yours.”

"Don't really treat her like an ignorant girl."

"And..." At this point, Zhongli's lips curled into a faint smile: "Don't worry, according to common sense, at least my existence will ensure that the ending of this story will not be a tragedy."

“I’ve said it before: I hate separation from loved ones, resentment of long periods of time, and the inability to get what I want.”

"Okay, fine."

Fu Hua nodded slightly, then bid farewell to Zhong Li. This trip to Teyvat had answered many of her questions.

Although she didn't get the final answer, she knew that the answer wouldn't change out of thin air—she might be the wife of Zhongli in the Teyvat world, the Rock Dragon Qingli.

The cycle of time brought about wondrous encounters and unexpected reunions, prompting her to sigh.

The next second, with a sigh, she left the world of Teyvat.

Gui Zhong watched her disappearing figure, pursed his lips, and glanced at Zhong Li, but ultimately remained silent.

Only after Fu Hua had completely disappeared did she turn to Zhong Li and say, "You're just leaving like that? Aren't you going to say anything?"

"From a purely rational standpoint, there's no need to say more," Zhongli casually replied to Gui Zhong's question, his expression remaining unchanged.

"Hmm...that's true." Gui Zhong raised her hands, stretching out her beautiful figure in the moonlight, and then stood up from beside the bluestone table: "Zhong Li, I'm going in to rest first. See you tomorrow."

"Hmm." Zhongli nodded slightly, then raised the wine cup that had appeared out of nowhere on the bluestone table. He took a small sip, letting the cool wine slide down his throat and into his stomach, where it produced a slightly burning sensation.

"Respect to the starry sky."

-----The Promising Future True Lord Joins the Chat Group-----

I am Subaru Natsuki: Ah, Zhongli Normal School, you've arrived.

Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): Mao, yes, I'm here.

I am Subaru Natsuki: Hey~~~, Zhongli Normal School, you actually replied to me directly?? You never usually reply to my greetings!

Future Promising True Lord (Zhongli): Hmm... I do respond occasionally. Just like when I go out to buy things, I sometimes bring my wallet.

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): I feel like something's off about what Mr. Zhongli said. Buying things... occasionally carrying a wallet??

I am Subaru Natsuki: There's no need to worry about such trivial matters. After all, Mr. Zhongli is the God of Commerce of Liyue in the Teyvat world. All the Mora are created using his divine power. If he wants to, he can easily create any amount of Mora out of thin air.

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): Hahaha~~! That's true, you sometimes make a good point, you useless NEET. @Future Promising True Lord, Mr. Zhongli, would you accept the suggestion I gave you last time? You don't need to do anything else, just register your name at the Hakurei Shrine. Of course, if you could also visit the Sanae Shrine while you're there, and let that frog and that wild snake know what the majesty of the gods is, that would be even better.

I am Subaru Natsuki: Insatiable greed.

Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): If I have time, I might consider it. Hmm... I might have some time in the near future.

I'm going to lay ten eggs for Kobayashi (Thor): Hey~~! Good morning, Mr. Zhongli!

The promising future (Zhongli): Although the moon was full over me, I still replied with a "Good morning".

Wings Unfurl (Sexy Prisoner): Hey~~! Good afternoon, Mr. Zhongli.

Red Iris Immortal (Fu Hua): Good morning, Zhongli.

Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): @Red Kite Immortal, have you safely returned to your world? Is it morning now?

Fu Hua (Red Iris Immortal): Yes, I'm back.

Genuine (Yukino Yukinoshita): Lord Fu Hua, it's been a long time. You're participating in Mr. Zhongli's mission again?

Fu Hua (Red-Robed Immortal): Yes, a small task. Oh, I forgot to mention, recently... well, no, that's not quite accurate. From now until the distant future, I'll be free and have plenty of time to take on various tasks. If anyone has any point-based tasks, feel free to open them up to me.

Genuine (Yukino Yukinoshita): Lady Fu Hua, have the many events in your world been resolved? I remember you mentioned that your world was also facing a catastrophe on the verge of human extinction.

Red Iris Immortal (Fu Hua): It's resolved. Zhongli helped.

Genuine (Yukino Yukinoshita): Mr. Zhongli~~! You're amazing. To be honest, ever since Mr. Zhongli joined the group, I've felt that our group has become a group that can solve anything. As long as Mr. Zhongli takes action, nothing is a problem.

I'm going to lay ten eggs for Kobayashi (Thor): Really? Really??

I want to give Kobayashi ten eggs (Thor): @FuturePromisingTrueLord, Zhongli, Zhongli, please help me! How can I keep Kobayashi with me forever without using aphrodisiacs or slave contracts?

Zhongli, the Promising Future Lord: Uh, sorry, even I have things I can't do. I can only do what I can do; I'm not omniscient or omnipotent.

Kato (Kato Megumi): I've been working on a bishoujo game lately, but I'm starting to feel like I'm not quite hitting the mark with otaku.

I want to lay ten eggs for Kobayashi (Thor): Okay, it's alright, I won't give up, I will keep trying, forever.

I'm Natsuki Subaru: Hmm? A bishoujo game? What a nostalgic name. Come to think of it, it's been ages since I've played a bishoujo game. It really feels like I've been constantly on the go since I was transported to the witch world, with almost no chance to rest. However, after leaving the Sanctuary, there haven't been any major incidents for several days, and I've had a good rest with Emilia. And, luckily, I got the way to save Rem from Akidna. These are great days.

Masato (Yukino Yukinoshita): Yes, not bad days. For you, as long as you don't die, I'm afraid all the days are pretty good.

I am Subaru Natsuki: That won't do. I need Emilia to be with me at least. Without Emilia and Rem, even if I survive, life won't be happy. But with Emilia and Rem by my side, even death would be a good life.

Sister, you must kill me!!! (Kyosuke Kousaka): Death is not such an inconvenient thing. Building a bridge of love with blood is the way to happiness! Subaru Natsuki, you've really improved.

I am Subaru Natsuki: No, no, no, if I can't die, it's better not to die. I'm not some pervert who likes the taste of death. But you, you perverted siscon, speaking of which, you've been using the username "Sister Killer" lately, and strangely enough, there are more and more exclamation marks. Even though in the novel, it always feels like you and your sister have a very ambiguous relationship.

My sister must be killed!!! (Kyosuke Kousaka): The extra exclamation marks are to express my murderous intent towards my sister. Didn't I say a while ago that I wanted to build my own single-person exoskeleton before I entered high school? But because my family's financial situation is so bad, I had to move out. I thought everything would be fine after dealing with my parents, but who knew my sister would suddenly appear!!

I am Subaru Natsuki: Continue, continue.

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): Keep going, keep going, I have a feeling something interesting is about to happen.

My sister is a killer!!! (Kyosuke Kousaka): She actually said she wants to live with me! And she's acting like she won't give up until Mom and Dad agree. For the sake of family harmony, I have no choice but to endure it and stay here. I use the time between school and department activities every day to go to my secret base to make things.

I am Subaru Natsuki: This is getting interesting. I originally thought that in the novel, your relationship with your sister was at most a tragic one, and that she wouldn't have any romantic feelings for you. But I didn't expect things to develop so strangely in reality. Perhaps some of your reactions triggered a chain reaction.

Future Promising True Lord (Zhongli): Yes, generally speaking, the novel titled "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute" in the future will probably no longer describe you in this space interface.

Little sister must kill!!! (Kyosuke Kousaka): I don't care about that. All I want to know right now is how to get rid of this annoying little devil in front of me!! A man's romance is Gundam, exoskeletons, space battleships and sky castles, not cute little sisters and youth!!!

Genuine (Yukino Yukinoshita): Just say it directly. Tell your sister about this and let her know about the chat group. That way, you and she living together can cover for each other. However, I'm more worried about the Japanese government over there. If you can really make a mature exoskeleton for single-person use, then your safety cannot be guaranteed.
