I'm in the Ark, a player.

I'm having a terrible writer's block; I've almost forgotten how to write this kind of romantic feeling (it's been a year and a half since I last seriously wrote about romance). I'll try my best to squeeze out a few more chapters today.

Below is a Python file.

Summary:

After Dawn's death, he arrived in the Honkai world, thinking he could start a carefree life in another world. However, he awakened a fragment-collecting system that made him grind until he was sick of it.

He braved the elements and slept outdoors, traveling the world to collect stolen goods.

He didn't even glance at the fragments of Karen that he had already gathered. He knew it; he wasn't stupid, and neither was Otto, but Karen was. Karen couldn't stop Otto.

But Alicia is different. Alicia can let him cling to her and live a life of ease in the World Serpent. Even if Kevin returns, there's not much he can do about it.

After a full ten years, he finally collected 99 pieces on his twentieth birthday. Just as he bent down to pick up the 99th piece, he was hit and sent flying by Bronya, a fourteen-year-old girl speeding down the street. He got up and saw the 100th piece flashing in the distance. Overjoyed, he rushed towards it, only to be hit a second time by a Tesla driving a Tesla, leaving him in a coma for a month.

Upon waking, Dawn immediately synthesized one hundred fragments of Alicia.

What was forged was not a powerful and resilient Herrscher of Humanity, but only a pink soul residing in his body, whose mouth never stopped talking.

"Shut up! All my hard work over the past ten years has turned me into a chatterbox?!"

Looking at the pink figure swaying back and forth in front of him, Dawn's dream of living a life of leisure and idleness shattered.

After being hit twice, I pieced together Alicia.

Chapter 143, Gala shouldn't be watching special CGs at this time!

Do not,

How could that be...?

Kroos chuckled self-deprecatingly, quickly dismissing the idea.

the reason is simple,

If the reason for the time reversal was really because he drank Qin Tianling's blood, then why couldn't Qin Tianling himself rewind time?

—He doesn't seem to have any memory of the previous time at all!

"Yes, we've arrived."

While Qin Tianling was pondering this, he had already carried Kroos to the purchasing department.

The two hands that were holding Kroos's thighs let go, and Kroos reluctantly got off Qin Tianling's back after a short while.

"and then?"

"Then, let's watch a movie together. Is there anything you'd like to see?"

"Um...no."

Qin Tianling answered truthfully.

How does he know what movies are available in this game?

My understanding of the film is limited to Fiameta's movie VHS tape that sold for several hundred LMD.

However, compared to movies, he does have some interesting places to visit.

"Eh...you don't even have a movie I want to watch?"

That's so boring!

I was thinking of recommending a few movies so I could pick one to watch together.

"Then I'll go?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Kroos grabbed Qin Tianling's sleeve.

Even though Qin Tianling was just talking and didn't even take a step, Kroos still grabbed him immediately, as if afraid that Qin Tianling would really leave.

"Don't leave!"

I already told you I'm going to hold you and snuggle with you all day, you're not allowed to go anywhere, just stay by my side!

Then she pointed to the purchasing department shelves and announced,

"If you're bored, or if you need anything, you can take a few things from the purchasing department... never mind, just take whatever you want, consider it a friendly treat from me."

In short, you are not allowed to go anywhere today.

Having said that, Kroos began to clear out some space in the purchasing department.

Because with just the computers at the purchasing department counter, it wasn't very comfortable for two people to squeeze together.

The game section shelves, which had been completely looted by Qin Tianling, were moved aside by Kroos, and a large beanbag chair was brought in—the kind where you could sink right into it.

The projector was connected to the computer and turned on, projecting the image onto the white wall of the purchasing department. The lights were then turned off.

However, some light still shone through the corridor outside the purchasing department, so Lucille simply pulled the roller shutter door of the purchasing department shut.

"The purchasing department will be closed today!"

Looking at the image projected on the projector in such dim lighting, Kroos nodded in satisfaction.

"No one can bother me now!"

"Doesn't the Rhodes Island app offer food delivery service?"

"I just adjusted the prices, raising all the items by fifty times. No one will buy them now!"

"What if an operator who doesn't lack money actually buys it?"

"They don't even give you anything after you buy it; they just swallow the money!"

Kroos uttered these words without any sense of morality or burden.

After all, it's possible to go back in time!

Then no matter what I do, I don't have to bear any consequences!

Pulling Qin Tianling along, Kroos plopped down on the sofa.

Qin Tianling was in front, and Kroos was behind him. The two of them sank into the sofa, but Kroos was leaning against the sofa, while Qin Tianling's head was resting on Kroos's lower abdomen.

It's soft, with no muscle at all, and very comfortable to use as a pillow.

Kroos hugged Qin Tianling like a cuddly pillow.

The environment was dimly lit, as there was only one projector as the light source.

They couldn't see what the other was doing, yet they could feel each other's body temperature.

It's like two lonely people huddling together in the darkness.

The movie was playing, and after some time, Cleopatra's phone rang. She took it out and answered it.

"Hey, Kal'tsit?"

"It's me. Some operators have told me that the purchasing department has closed down for some reason, and the food delivery prices on the app are also a bit strange. Operator Jessica bought some goods but no delivery truck came. Do you know what's going on?"

"Uh, I don't know! That's strange, what's going on?"

Kroos replied without batting an eye,

This was all done by the purchasing manager, what does it have to do with me, the engineering manager, Kroos!

"You don't know either?"

"Yes, yes! I think something must have gone wrong?"

I'll check later.

"When is the delay?"

"Later!"

"Mmm~"

Just as Kroos finished speaking, a strange sound rang out.

Meanwhile, Qin Tianling, lying in Kroos's arms, was playing games on a handheld console, making wood in a corner.

The sound he just made was the sound he made when he pushed some indescribable CG.

That bastard made absolutely no attempt to turn down the volume or mute it.

What was that sound?

Kal'tsit on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard the strange sound as well, and asked with some confusion.

"No, it's nothing! I... I have some things to take care of, I'll hang up now!"

Kroos hurriedly hung up the phone and angrily questioned Qin Tianling, who was making a point of speaking out loud, which was not at all like a normal person.

"Qin Tianling, what on earth are you doing?!"

"Get wood from the corner."

Qin Tianling answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Kroos glared at him, annoyed.

Of course I know you're playing Gaglam, but is it really okay for you to be playing this kind of game on your own when a girl invites you to a movie?

And it's with such explicit plot and explicit scenes!

What do you mean?

There's a super pretty girl right next to you, okay?!

Am I really inferior to those two-dimensional characters?!

Seeing Qin Tianling, who showed no reaction whatsoever, still engrossed in his own little corner, occasionally letting out a silly laugh, Kaluthor pouted angrily.

A rustling sound came from the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, when the legs that had been wrapped around Qin Tianling's waist were once again placed on top of him, they were now barefoot. Then, they slid down Qin Tianling's stomach.

Qin Tianling, who was playing the game, froze, raised his head, frowned slightly, and looked somewhat incredulous.

He seemed to have not expected Kroos to do this.

And as if teasing Qin Tianling, the pair of bare feet moved and rubbed together.

wrong!?

Isn't this supposed to be a date scenario?!

Although I can't see the affection level, it probably isn't full yet, right?

Why did you use your hands... no, your feet!?

Shouldn't we be going through all this and that plot, with you finally revealing your feelings in the middle of some mysterious event in your heart, and then showing me a special CG?

—That's not how it is in the corner of the woods!

Qin Tianling wanted to turn around and look at Kroos behind him, but Kroos had anticipated this and pressed Qin Tianling's head down with both hands first.

"Do not move."

Clamp your toes around the zipper and slide it down.

Words, mingled with warm breath, kept coming from behind.

"Don't turn to look at me until I say yes."

It's so hot!

Not only does it feel hot to the touch, but my face also feels very hot.

What kind of expression do I have right now?

Kroos is unaware.
