Book 4: Chapter 22: Do You Believe I Will Eat Your Halo?

“...” Texas said nothing. Instead, she put down her fork, raised her fist, and smashed it on Exusiai’s head.

Thud!

“Ouch!” Exusiai suffered a severe injury, unable to get back up.

Chen Heng looked at the beaten-up Exusiai and celebrated for the first time the convenience cooking brought him. Otherwise, he would be the one who had fallen on the sofa now.

“Texas, you are too biased! It was He Who Knows Fate who said it. Why beat me up?”

“...You touched a sore spot.” Texas could not say “because He Who Knows Fate’s cake is too delicious.”

To justify continuing to come here to mooch cake for the next few days, she needed to pay a price.

If she beat He Who Knows Fate up, she might not have cake to eat. However, if she did not beat someone up, she could not vent her feelings. Hence, she could only choose to beat up Exusiai, who was asking for it.

Hand on heart, this cake was indeed delicious.

“Speaking of which, He Who Knows Fate, why are you here?” As Exusiai ate, she suddenly asked Chen Heng a question.

“I live here.”

“Huh? You live with Blue Poison? I recall you just joined Rhodes Island today. How did you make a move so quickly?” Exusiai did not expect Chen Heng to be an old hand at flirting. They had only parted for a while, and he had already gotten his hands on a female member.

Although there were many female operators on Rhodes Island, they weren’t easy, agreeing to cohabitation so quickly.

“...I failed to explain properly. I stay next door, at 412. Blue Poison and I are purely friends. Your imagination is quite wild.”

“I’m laughing to death! Texas, did you hear that? To think He Who Knows Fate said there’s pure friendship between a man and a woman!” For some reason, Exusiai started laughing and smacking Texas’s back.

“...Exusiai, a word more from you, and your halo will go missing. Do you believe I will eat it now?” Chen Heng suddenly realized that Blue Poison now looked at him differently.

“...I was wrong; please forgive me. Truly! I have deeply understood my mistake.” Exusiai submitted to protect her halo.

Exusiai cared a lot about her halo. Although it was inconvenient when sleeping at night, it was still the hallmark of a Lateran.

If He Who Knows Fate really ate it...the scene below might take place when she meets someone else.

“Erm...alright. You make sense. Last question, the most important one.”

“What? Speak.” Upon seeing Chen Heng turn solemn, Kal’tsit could not help putting down her work to look at him.

“When will you have a costume?”

“Can you not learn from Umaru-chan?” Kal’tsit held her head, feeling a headache.

“What do you mean, learn from Umaru-chan? Kal’tsit is very cute! Kal’tsit is my waifu!”

“Are you being a scoundrel in front of the real person herself?” Kal’tsit slapped a document over her face. I—Kal’tsit—have seen everything before, except this.

Confessing one’s feelings for the game version of a person in front of the real person. Only Chen Heng could do such a thing.

“He...He Who Knows Fate, are you confessing to Kal’tsit?”

Although Kal’tsit knew Chen Heng was joking, Amiya, who had just opened the door and heard such stimulating words, did not. Amiya stood there, stupefied.

“Amilu, what do you think?”

“I think...I think...” It seemed that Amiya had been truly shocked. She did not even react when Chen Heng called her Amilu.

“Alright, Amiya, don’t be shocked. He Who Knows Fate was just joking.” Eventually, Kal’tsit personally dealt with the situation.

“I see. That scared me.” Amiya let out her bated breath as she patted herself on the chest.

“He Who Knows Fate, you should go check on Nightingale now.”

“Huh? What?”

“I said you should go check on Nightingale now.”

“Kal’tsit, are you chasing away your guest?”

“Knowing is enough; why say it? Since you know already, quickly get out. I have a lot of work to do.”

As expected of the queen of Rhodes Island, her aura was domineering.

Since the host had already chased the guest away, it was indeed pointless to remain here. Chen Heng might as well go visit his first patient.
