“Buzz, buzz…”
After the concert, Shiro returned to the hotel with Mei.
Having just finished washing up and preparing to rest, he heard his phone vibrate.
He glanced at it.
In the contact name column, the name displayed was none other than “Elysia.”
Shiro picked up the phone and connected the call.
The next moment.
“Hello, my most respected Father.
Did you miss your cute, well-behaved, beautiful, and generous daughter, Ellie?”
A playful and lively voice came from his ear.
Undoubtedly, that voice belonged to Elysia.
Just listening to it made Shiro feel pleasant.
He couldn’t help but chuckle and reply, “Didn’t you send a message earlier?
Why the sudden phone call?”
“Hmph, caring for an elderly father living alone is what a daughter should do.”
“That’s not necessary; I’m living quite happily right now.”
Hearing Shiro’s answer, Elysia couldn’t help but pout.
“Hmph, sneaking off to school to trick other girls…
it breaks your daughter’s heart.
I might just cry, you know.”
Shiro believed the Damselette would do exactly as she said; after all, Ellie’s acting skills were far too strong.
When she was ten, she could already cry so piteously it was like rain on pear blossoms.
Even Shiro, who had seen through Ellie’s tricks, couldn’t withstand this move.
Therefore, Shiro quickly interrupted her’spellcasting’ and changed the subject.
“Ahem, let’s chat about idle things later.
For you to both send messages and call, there must be something important.”
Little did he know that mentioning this only made Elysia’s expression more resentful.
“Ugh, Father, your favorite precious daughter personally participated in the battle against the Second Herrscher and successfully subjugated it.”
“Sigh, yet even though I sent Father a message, there wasn’t a single reply.
Aren’t you worried about Ellie at all?”
Shiro had been nodding along at first, but he froze halfway through.
Because Shiro knew that originally, the Second Herrscher was subjugated by Elysia alone.
Thus, while he was worried, he was only worried about whether his presence would cause any changes.
It was like writing a novel; after the author finished indulging in all the conspiracies and grand scenes in their head, they hastily wrote an ending.
The key was that this was all self-indulgence in his own head; no one else knew anything!
“Uh, Ellie, listen to my explanation…”
Understanding the cause and effect, Shiro completely lost the majesty of an old father and spoke weakly.
Listening to the words coming from the phone, any ordinary woman wouldn’t believe that nonsense about ‘mental self-indulgence’ at all.
But Ellie was raised by Shiro from a young age; she understood him very well.
She knew that although Shiro usually appeared calm and composed on the surface, he actually had a lot of internal monologue.
Besides, Ellie hadn’t really blamed Shiro; the Damselette just wanted to use the opportunity to get more attention from her old father.
But who knew Shiro was still the same as before?
Unless she threw a straight ball, he wouldn’t catch it if it was even slightly curved.
If Shiro knew Ellie’s thoughts, he would certainly cry out against the injustice.
One must know that before his Transmigration, he was just a somewhat shut-in college student, a purebred single dog who hadn’t even been in a relationship by the time he was about to graduate.
And after transmigrating, the only two women confirmed to like him were both raised by him from childhood.
This made Shiro look like a winner in life, but in reality, his romantic experience was still zero…
On the other side.
Flame-Chasers, First Research Institute.
“You haven’t even gone to a concert with Ellie, yet you went with Mei first!”
“Wait, are you still living together now?”
“Wuu, Ellie is really sad this time.”
Listening to Elysia’s voice constantly coming from the phone.
Watching Elysia hold the phone, acting spoiled and cute one moment, and feigning grievance the next.
Finally, the green-haired older sister figure spoke indifferently:
“It’s about time you shut up, Elysia.”
Elysia blinked her eyes and then quietly lowered her voice.
“Father, Mobius is jealous and doesn’t want me to chat with you.
Is there anything you want me to tell her?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the pink-haired girl sensed Dr.
Mobius’s icy gaze.
Unfortunately, Elysia wasn’t afraid at all of those dangerous snake-like pupils that were terrifying to others.
“Father, Mobius is glaring at me.”
Lying on the hotel bed, Shiro couldn’t help but smile slightly as he listened to Ellie tattle.
“Then please tell Mobius for me not to just make do with instant noodles for the sake of doing experiments all day.
And…”
Regarding Mobius, Shiro really gave her a thousand warnings and ten thousand exhortations; after all, Mobius was truly a workaholic for her experiments. This chapter was taken from novelping dot com without permission.
Shiro even suspected that in the Late Stage, after Mobius underwent the Super Transformation Surgery and gained the ability of Saha Rebirth, she might have worked herself to death a few times and then been reborn.
After all, even when Shiro was personally taking care of her before, he had been frightened by the intensity of Mobius’s studying.
“Okay, received!
Then, my dearest Father, goodbye!
Mua~”
The sound of a kiss, almost completely against the receiver, rang out softly.
Then came the sound of the call being completely disconnected.
Ending the call, Elysia saw Mobius withdraw her gaze.
“Oh my, you’re clearly paying close attention too.
Why must you pretend not to care?
Is this what Blanca calls ‘tsundere’?”
As for Blanca, she was an assistant at the First Research Institute.
She was considered Mobius’s subordinate.
Mobius rubbed her brow with slight helplessness.
Knowing that her previous posture couldn’t scare Elysia at all, she could only continue to be stubborn.
“Regarding his affairs, I don’t have much spare time to pay attention for now.”
“Oh my, then who is it that mumbles ‘Father’ in their sleep at night?
I’m really so curious.”
Elysia put on a look of feigned confusion, poking her cute cheek with her finger.
This appearance, however, gave Mobius a sense of sarcasm.
A crisp ‘crack’ was heard.
It turned out that Dr.
Mobius’s hand holding the test tube had tightened slightly, almost crushing the glass container.
“Shut up!”
“Okay, my dear sister Mobius.”
After saying that, the pink fairy obediently walked out of the laboratory.
Watching Elysia’s retreating back disappear.
Mobius put down the test tube and dazed for a moment, thinking about the conversation she had just heard.
Her gaze caught a thesis on quantum mechanics on the table, the signature being none other than “Mei.”
Thinking about Shiro taking Mei to the concert, and remembering what Elysia had said to her before—that Mei might like Shiro.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speed up the process of publishing the thesis.
Of course, it was impossible for Mobius to admit anything like being afraid of Mei spending time alone with Shiro.
The reason the green-haired older sister figure gave was that the other party was also a Genius who surpassed the times, and joining the Flame-Chasers could play a very important role.
