Despite her disdain, seeing the hickeys on Ye Ming's face, Fu Hua couldn't help but think that if it weren't her standing here, but that person, she probably would have used the Feather Dust to alter Ye Ming's memories without hesitation upon their first meeting.

In that case, would the two of them be happy today? Would they still be in this terrible situation that's hard to be happy about no matter how you look at it?

Fu Hua didn't know, but for the first time, she felt that perhaps it would be nice to be a carefree child.

For a moment, Fu Hua was filled with countless thoughts and remained silent.

Fu Hua remained silent, while Yae Sakura was already numb.

She originally thought that as long as she patiently looked for opportunities, met Ye Ming by chance, chatted with him, and got to know him, her relationship would slowly develop into a romance. Finally, she would take the initiative to confess her feelings with the beauty and wisdom of a shrine maiden and win him over. However, she never expected that the love game, which was supposed to be so simple that she could just push through, would suddenly be filled with competitors one after another. She thought that Okita Souji and her childhood friend Fu Hua were the biggest enemies, but unexpectedly, after only one day apart, the person she liked had a wife without any warning.

The heavy blow plunged Yae Sakura into deep self-doubt.

Compared to Fu Hua's silence and Yae Sakura's self-doubt, Okita Souji's expression was very calm.

As an outstanding swordswoman who has survived the bloodshed of the late Edo period, Souji's mental fortitude and resilience are absolutely top-notch. Moreover, back in Chaldea, Souji had already discovered that she wasn't the only Servant in Chaldea who liked Ye Ming. Because she had anticipated this, Souji's expression was relatively calm when she saw the hickey on Ye Ming's face.

However, beneath the calm surface, Souji's hands, resting on his lap, unconsciously clenched tightly, as if gripping a sword about to be drawn, his knuckles turning white from the force.

The three women in the living room were all lost in their own thoughts and remained silent, creating a somewhat heavy atmosphere.

"Commander, give Laffey a hug."

It was Lafite who broke the silence.

After climbing off Fu Hua's lap, Laffey tugged at the bunny ears on her head. The bunny ears, which had been drooping listlessly, bounced up with a burst of energy after Laffey tugged and released them.

Laffey ran to Ye Ming's side, grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously: "Commander, Commander, Laffey wants to sleep with you tonight, Laffey wants to hear a story! Can you tell a story, Commander?"

Adorable Laffey, angelic Laffey, the Commander's sweet little darling.

How could Ye Ming possibly refuse such a request from the adorable Raffi?

"Yes! Of course the Commander can tell stories!"

Ye Ming picked up Raffi and agreed repeatedly.

“Then, Laffey wants to hear it now!” Laffey was very happy. “Laffey and Sister Fu Hua have been waiting for the Commander for a long time. Laffey is very sleepy. Let’s go to the bedroom.”

As she said this, Laffey squirmed in Ye Ming's arms, turned to the three women in the living room, and waved: "Laffey is going to sleep now. Sister Fu Hua, Sister Yae Sakura, Sister Okita, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Laffey turned back and pinched Ye Ming's nose hard, saying seriously, "Commander, you have to apologize to Sister Fu Hua tomorrow. You didn't come back so late and didn't even send a message, making Sister Fu Hua worry."

As she spoke, Laffey yawned: "Ugh~ Commander, let's go back to the bedroom, Laffey is so sleepy."

What else could Ye Ming say?

Lafite is such a cute little angel.

Ye Ming held the little Lafite in his arms, deeply moved.

It was still quite awkward.

Ye Ming raised his hand to wipe away the hickeys on his face, recalling Ke Qing's farewell kiss at the hotel entrance, feeling both annoyed and amused.

Ke Qing, you're really something!

Chapter 49 Let's watch all the games.

Since he had already taken a bath at Keqing's place before going home, there was no need for him to take another bath after returning home. So Ye Ming carried Raffi directly back to the second bedroom, closed the door, and shut out the three women's view.

As soon as the door closed, Ye Ming felt instantly relieved.

To be honest, Ye Ming felt a little awkward in front of Fu Hua. It would have been fine if they had just talked things out, but Fu Hua's ambiguous answer left Ye Ming really at a loss for what to do. When she told him on the phone that she was with her wife Ke Qing, Ye Ming appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he had mustered up a lot of courage.

However, this relaxation was only temporary. After the two outsiders, Yae Sakura and the girl with short cherry blossom hair, left the living room, Ye Ming still needed to talk to Fu Hua. Since he and Ke Qing had confirmed their relationship and Ke Qing was willing to come and stay, Ye Ming naturally had to respond to Ke Qing and make arrangements in advance.

While avoiding problems may bring temporary relief, facing and solving them is the only way to live with peace of mind.

Ye Ming has always believed this.

Therefore, Ye Ming decided that after Raffi fell asleep that night, he would knock on Fu Hua's door and go to Fu Hua's room to tell her about Ke Qing's upcoming visit. Also, if possible, Ye Ming planned to test Fu Hua's attitude and try to get a clear response.

Although the atmosphere might be a little awkward at the time, everyone is an adult, and they grew up together. They know each other very well and are sensible in their actions. Even if they can't reach an agreement, they can generally leave room for each other and prevent any accidents from happening.

When it comes to feelings, it all boils down to mutual attraction and willingness. Although Fu Hua is quite powerful, he is still just an ordinary person. You can't use the Feather Dust to modify his memories like you do with Fu Hua in the game, can you?

On the other hand, even Fu Hua in the game would hardly do such a thing; only Shi Bao could do something like that.

"Commander, tell a story, then go to sleep."

The sound of Raffi in his arms brought Ye Ming back to his senses. He temporarily suppressed his thoughts, lowered his head and rubbed Raffi's pink cheek, and said with a smile, "Okay, after I change into my pajamas, I'll tell Raffi a story."

"Ah."

Raffi nodded, and without Ye Ming saying anything more, she obediently got out of Ye Ming's arms, climbed onto the bed by herself, and looked at Ye Ming with expectant eyes.

Ye Ming turned off the lights, changed into his pajamas, lay down on the bed, and asked Raffi, "What story would Raffi like to hear?"

"Horror stories".

Raffi snuggled into Ye Ming's arms, her eyes sparkling, clearly having already made up her mind: "If Raffi hears this, she'll tell Nimi (Z23) when Nimi disturbs her sleep in the future."

Nimi is one of the four starter ships in Azur Lane, a destroyer from Ironblood, and a rather serious little adult.

"can!"

Ye Ming thought for a moment and came up with a suitable story. He slowly said, "Well, Commander, how about I tell you a story about Eren eating... never mind, that's too disgusting. Commander, how about I tell you a scary story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?"

"Legend has it that long, long ago, in a forest lived..."

Although she was supposed to listen to a story, how could the sleepy little girl listen to a story properly? Before Ye Ming had even finished half of the story, Raffi in his arms had closed her eyes at some point, her chest rising and falling, making even breathing sounds.

The little Lafite is fast asleep, his sleeping face peaceful and his appearance is indescribably cute.

Holding Lafite, Ye Ming, who was not officially married yet, actually felt like he was raising a daughter.

Ye Ming carefully lifted Raffi off his body and placed her on the bed, covering her with a blanket. Looking at the little girl's innocent sleeping face, and recalling the scene in the living room just now, Ye Ming felt a pang of emotion.

Laffey, still just a little girl, usually seems absent-minded and unmotivated. She is just as clueless as other girls her age in many things. For example, she hides chocolate in her chest and sneaks into the Commander's bed in the middle of the night to tempt him to eat the chocolate with her. However, Laffey only did this because she learned it from other ship girls. As for the true meaning of this behavior and what will happen afterward, Laffey is completely clueless.

Despite her dazed and confused nature, Laffey always manages to come to the commander's rescue at crucial moments. For example, the day before yesterday, after Fu Hua confessed her feelings to Ye Ming and made her stance clear, it was Laffey who appeared in time to break the awkward atmosphere.

For example, tonight, it was Lafite who helped Ye Ming out of a predicament.

So, even now, Ye Ming isn't quite sure if Lafite is truly confused or just pretending. Is little Lafite a clueless little dummy or a clever little girl who knows everything?

The seemingly mismatched traits of being absent-minded and intelligent are surprisingly not out of place in Lafite at all. Ye Ming felt that no matter what kind of Lafite she was, she was his little princess, the most adorable Lafite.

Ye Ming gently kissed Raffi's cheek, sat up, groped for his phone on the bedside table, and turned it on.

The battery is fully charged, and the three games I downloaded before telling the story are also downloaded.

Ye Ming opened Genshin Impact first, entered his account, and clicked login. Sure enough, he encountered the same situation as in Azur Lane—the account did not exist.

Upon closer inspection, all the previous in-game purchase records had been replaced with other forms of spending, and all the screenshots previously posted online had disappeared.

Ye Ming, who had anticipated this, was not surprised. After exiting the Genshin Impact login screen, he reopened the Honkai Impact client—his account was still there.

To be honest, with the successive appearances of Laffey and Keqing, Ye Ming once suspected that Fu Hua and Yae Sakura, especially the suddenly appearing Yae Sakura, might be related to the Yae Sakura in the game. However, his unscathed Honkai Impact 3rd account showed that he was indeed overthinking it.

Since the account was still active, Ye Ming lost interest in looking at it any further. He logged out, uninstalled Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd, and then opened the last game he had downloaded—Fate/Grand Order (FGO).

After entering his username and password and successfully logging in, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat disappointed.

Did only the girls from Azur Lane and Genshin Impact travel through time?

Ye Ming sighed, recalling the fleeting suspicion that crossed his mind when he saw the cherry-haired girl who resembled Okita Souji in the living room when he first got home.

Was I overthinking it?

Ye Ming casually swiped the screen a couple of times, his doubts dispelled, and he began to think about what to say when he knocked on Fu Hua's door.

Just as he was about to log out of his account and uninstall FGO, he glanced at the screen out of the corner of his eye and was surprised to find that the number of characters in his account seemed to have decreased.

Chapter 50 The Vanished Servants

Fate/Grand Order is a very famous mobile game. Ye Ming remembers that when the game was first released, he couldn't wait to jump into the game on the very first day after waiting for a long time.

The main reason Ye Ming was drawn to FGO was because of the anime series Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night.

Perhaps it was the nostalgia factor surrounding the anime, but FGO was one of the mobile games Ye Ming played the longest, investing a significant amount of time and money in it. However, like most players who quit, their enthusiasm eventually wore off. Maybe it was just because he forgot to do his daily quests one day, and then once he did, he did it again. Gradually, he completely abandoned daily tasks, logging in only occasionally during events. Later, because he hadn't logged in for a long time, he became too lazy to download game updates, and finally, he stopped logging into the game altogether, without even realizing it.

After quitting the game, the only place Ye Ming still had contact with FGO was probably when he would occasionally look at fanfiction on a certain unreliable website.

But tonight, when Ye Ming logged into his FGO account, which he hadn't used in a long time, he was surprised to find that several of the characters in his account seemed to be missing.

Which ones are missing?

Ye Ming swiped his finger, frowned as he looked at his phone screen, and fell into deep thought.

Although Ye Ming has invested a lot of time and money in FGO, he is not a player with a complete collection of characters. There are many characters that he does not have because he cannot get them through spending money or because he missed the event time.

Moreover, since he had quit the game for more than a year, Ye Ming's memory of many of the characters in the game was not so clear. He could only barely remember some of the powerful characters he used to use and the characters he particularly liked or had memes about.

The first person Ye Ming contacted was Abigail.

Unfortunately, his Abigail stayed in the game perfectly fine and did not disappear.

Ye Ming sighed, then continued searching for Youzhen, Chacha, Xiao Hei, Jack, Tongyao, Ilya...

The adorable little girls are all safely in the game; they haven't disappeared.

The little girls have no chance of coming to the real world for the time being. Ye Ming, who is not a lolicon, sighed, but felt no disappointment.

After confirming that the little girl had not disappeared, Ye Ming searched carefully again. Based on his vague memories, he compared them for a long time before he could barely confirm that two Servants had indeed disappeared—Sakura Saber, Okita Souji, and Jeanne Alter.

Ye Ming had a vague premonition that the Servants who disappeared in the game might have already come to the real world.

However, if it's just these two people, there shouldn't be any danger, right?

Based on her performance in the game, Okita Souji is a rational and ruthless swordsman in battle, but a lively and cheerful girl in daily life. Although she has a similar appearance to Artoria, she actually has a hidden large bust.

As for Jeanne Alter, although she is a dragon witch born for revenge, she is actually just a tsundere with a childlike personality, making her arguably the easiest woman in Chaldea to handle.

These two are neither yanderes nor antisocial, and even if they came to the real world, they wouldn't normally cause any major trouble.

However, for some reason, both of the missing Servants were girls.

But it's not so bad, is it? If some male Servants came to this world, Ye Ming would find it hard to imagine what it would be like to get along with them.

For example, when you're with a cute boy like Afu, do you treat him like a brother or something else?

For example, if a certain ill-tempered Golden Pikachu came to the real world, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
