Chapter 66: This is Too Damn Much, Brother
Even though the biological experiment exploring the age-old mystery of humanity had concluded, the dark curtains still guarded the windows like loyal sentinels, preventing any gaze from potentially intruding into the room.
Until the signal indicating the completion of their mission sounded.
"Ring ring ring ring~!"
The two figures lying on the bed opened their eyes almost simultaneously the moment the alarm blared.
His palm slapped the alarm clock with lightning speed, stopping the triggered mechanical structure.
Honestly, since mobile phones have alarm clock functions, there was no need to bring such a heavy and space-consuming old-fashioned alarm clock on an expedition.
However, with the thought of 'since I'm not the one carrying the backpack, it doesn't matter if I bring a few extra miscellaneous items,' Caelus brought many things that made March 7th helpless and Stelle grit her teeth.
Well, who could blame Stelle for being too weak and losing the minigame?
After stopping the alarm, Caelus parted the curtains, which were closed without a single gap, and looked at the sky outside.
"As expected, I'm still so sleepy... Did I set the alarm too early?"
Her graceful and smooth silver-grey curled hair swayed gently, showing no trace of having been ravaged all night. Bronya sat up, the bedsheet sliding off her jade-like skin.
Caelus peered out of the gap in the window at the outskirts of Belobog.
Only a vast expanse of towering, snow-capped mountains filled his entire vision. The ravines between the mountains were bottomless yet seemed close at hand.
"Ah~ Mmm~" Bronya let out a lazy yawn.
That sound, like red wine mixed with milk, ignited a flame that burned away Caelus's drowsiness. He wanted to rush towards the snow-capped mountains but was stopped by reason.
After all, the reason he set the alarm so early was to clean up the crime scene before the members of the trailblazing team woke up.
Jie jie jie!
Including tormenting Dan Heng with the husky and Samoyed yesterday, and wearing down March 7th's seemingly endless energy by learning the guitar, were all part of the plan~!
To let them have a deep, sound sleep last night, have good dreams, and wake up later today.
Opening a slight gap in the window, neither Caelus's main body nor Bronya's body could smell any strange odor in the room, but a visible sense of debauchery lingered in the room.
Cold wind whistled in through the gap, making Bronya, who had stood up from the bed and was facing the cold air, shrink back and immediately pick up the clothes scattered on the bed to put them on.
It's just that the classic outfit she was wearing now might be difficult to wear in public.
After all, faced with Herrscher of Truth's classic outfit, anyone would inevitably spend a bit more time.
When his blood rushed to his head, Caelus almost wanted to exchange for a Rubber-Rubber Fruit to try it out, but considering that it was his/her first time as both a male and a female... it was better to take off a bit more steadily.
He could only console himself, next time, he'll try next time.
His luggage naturally didn't have suitable women's clothing for Bronya; Stelle's size was a bit smaller, so even if the marks were obvious, she could only wear them temporarily.
Fortunately, Bronya didn't need to go out for activities next.
Now was not the right time for this body to appear in Belobog; the local Bronya was still in the city.
If the locals saw Herrscher of Truth, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
It is worth mentioning that after using a system character card, it can be recalled to the Valkyrie space, provided the character's body is within five meters of Caelus.
In addition, before Caelus's soul and spiritual power become strong enough, his main consciousness can use at most three characters simultaneously—the game Honkai Impact 3rd allows a maximum of three Valkyries on the field at once.
If auto-battle is enabled for a character, that character does not occupy these three slots.
Stroking his chin, Caelus looked thoughtful, slightly odd.
He was recalling the brief, groundless feeling just now.
Due to White Seele's existence, Seele had always been very careful about her actions on her side, never doing anything that would make White Seele's little head explode—until last night.
Who could resist in that situation~
But that wasn't important. Even if White Seele had opened a new world's door for her last night, that door had never been blown by a cold wind.
But why?
It was clearly the first time he had experienced it, yet it felt familiar. Thinking back carefully, it seemed he had vaguely felt that kind of sensation last night.
It was also strange; with adrenaline pumping, he and Bronya shouldn't have felt cold even without a blanket. Yet Caelus had a kind of freezing sensation, as if lying in a trash can, surrounded by the coldness of the walls, and being relentlessly battered by the cold wind.
Even snuggling in Bronya's extremely warm embrace couldn't avoid that coldness.
Including right now, he always had the feeling of wearing underwear that hadn't been wrung out after washing and was hung outside in winter—his crotch felt chilly.
There should still be time, perhaps he should let adult Bronya warm him up~!
Looking at adult Bronya wearing the battle-damaged version of her outfit, Caelus's upper and lower houses unanimously passed the resolution.
Just as Caelus was trying to dispel that chilly feeling with warmth.
Inside the treasure chest trash can at the edge of the Everwinter Monument plaza, a pair of brilliant golden pupils suddenly lit up in the pitch-black world.
In the words of the Dragon Raja, it was as if a lion was hidden within those golden eyes.
However, before the lion could wake up, various indescribable memories from last night immediately flooded Stelle's mind.
The overwhelming feeling of the little snake demon Caelus launching the dark turmoil of the great human universe resurfaced at this moment, and Stelle let out a roar of extreme shame and anger.
"Ahhh! Caelus cub! I'm gonna kill you!"
An angry golden-red aura faintly surrounded her entire person, almost turning her into a Super Saiyan. Stelle first lifted her skirt, tied it, and then suddenly stood up from inside the treasure chest.
In the early morning, there were still very few people in the plaza, only many peddlers who had come early to set up stalls and sell things.
At this moment, all the stall owners were frightened by the suddenly exploding trash can, and cries of alarm rose one after another.
In the chaos, a grey figure shot towards the Goethe Hotel like an arrow released from a bow.
"What was that?"
"Stop!"
The Silvermane Guard on duty shouted sternly but couldn't catch up to the figure at all.
But not long after the grey-haired little raccoon escaped the guard's sight, her speed slowed down visibly.
A dark turmoil was occurring in the human body universe; that feeling made it difficult for Stelle to take even a single step.
"Hold on!"
Stumbling, her long, slender legs trembling, Stelle supported herself against the wall to move forward with difficulty. She gazed at the Goethe Hotel, which was just at the end of her line of sight, bit her lip, and clenched her teeth:
"As long as I can reach that place!"
As long as she got there, she could suppress Caelus, that main culprit!
It was only a few hundred meters, but dragging her boneless legs, Stelle walked and stopped for a full twenty minutes before stumbling and falling into the hotel lobby.
"Guest, are you alright?"
A waitress who saw her came over to ask. She had a deep impression of these strangely dressed guests and recognized Stelle's identity at a glance.
Stelle forced a smile and shook her head. She felt the abnormal sensation between her legs gradually fade, and her body was returning to normal.
Under the concerned gaze of the waitress, Stelle went from walking to running, quickly crossing the lobby and heading straight for Caelus's room.
"Open the door! Caelus cub!"
"If you have the guts to use despicable means! Then you have the guts to open the door!"
Stelle pounded on the door. Before the third punch could land, the door opened from the inside.
Without giving Caelus a chance to speak, Stelle directly grabbed his collar, threw him fiercely onto the bed, straddled Caelus with her legs spread, and pulled out her baseball bat, poking it sharply beside his ear.
"Huh? What despicable means?"
Caelus was completely bewildered, looking at Stelle, who was flushed, angry, and had a strange expression, not knowing what she was on about this time.
"I didn't go steal the treasure chest from the Everwinter Monument," Caelus raised his hands.
Gasp!
Should it be said, as expected of the same person? When it came to angering the other party, the first reaction was the treasure chest.
The incisive words directly broke Stelle's angry state, making her feel vaguely guilty.
"I'm asking you, what did you do last night?" Stelle tried to maintain her imposing manner.
As soon as these words came out, Caelus first felt a brief moment of guilt, then suddenly noticed a blind spot.
Her flushed face, the lingering ripples in her eyes, all seemed like some kind of afterglow, very similar to adult Bronya's expression before he put her body into the Valkyrie space.
That's right!
Shared empathy, damn it!
Last night, his mind was full of 'I'm so fragrant~', immersed in his own gentle embrace, Caelus had forgotten about this!
No wonder, he had seen scientific analysis posts online before.
At a certain special moment, males should feel more comfortable than females, yet Caelus felt last night that the female body's sensation was not weaker than his main body's, even more comfortable.
So it was also superimposed with the shared empathy transmitted from Stelle?
His gaze drifted to the legs pressing down on his body, and Caelus's expression gradually became more colorful.
The beautiful legs that could be played with for a year were wrapped in ripped, battle-damaged stockings, their attractiveness increased rather than decreased. The increased shared empathy due to physical contact allowed Caelus to feel that the stockings on her thighs were damp.
Why did Stelle change into these stockings?
Also, the cold feeling from last night...
His brain entered high-speed operation mode, and a logical chain based on their mutual understanding automatically arranged itself into the terrifying answer closest to the truth.
Caelus's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"You wanted to monopolize the treasure chest last night?"
"I didn't!" Stelle was like a little raccoon whose tail had been stepped on.
This reaction undoubtedly confirmed Caelus's guess.
"And then you used the treasure chest as a cover to prevent the Silvermane Guards from discovering you?"
"Alright! So you've been following me all along!"
Such a reaction undoubtedly proved Caelus had guessed correctly again.
Adding the verified conclusions and re-deducing, Caelus could roughly guess the ins and outs of the matter, but...
This is too damn much, brother!
"Cut the crap."
Caelus's expression suddenly became serious, and he shouted sternly: "Those who break their word shall suffer the punishment of eating rocks!"
"Wait, I was, I was guarding the treasure chest, yes, guarding it! To prevent you from secretly opening it while I was asleep!"
Stelle's gaze initially darted around uncertainly, but her rapidly spinning little brain actually found a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.
Although she wanted to monopolize it, she didn't succeed!
Thinking of this, Stelle raised her head, straightened her back, and spoke with righteous indignation.
"Oh, is that so?" He had an expression that said, 'well, good for you.'
He didn't continue to mock Stelle, to prevent her from digging into what he did last night.
Stelle also didn't continue to press, after all, she was the one who broke the contract first, feeling a little guilty.
The two pairs of identical golden eyes stared at each other for a long time, finally deciding to let 'themselves' off the hook.
However, thinking about the ordeal of this night, Stelle still had the urge to burst into tears.
What on earth had she been fussing about all night!?
