Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 5: Chapter 14: Alright, Little Sis

He Who Knows Fate: Let me tell one more joke. The world automatic mechanisms are very reliable.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Beautiful! Elder Brother, your words hit the nail on the head. Do you know that?

Queen of Ice and Snow: Elder Brother…

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: That’s right. Chen Heng is my—that is Ryougi Shiki’s—elder brother in name. Actually, when his ancestor said it was a Chen Clan matter, I wanted to stay. However, I did not want to die for my curiosity, so I returned to my ward and lay on the bed.

He Who Knows Fate: I have a world consciousness younger sister. Do you envy me?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Correction. You are Ryougi Shiki’s elder brother, not my—Root Shiki’s—elder brother.

He Who Knows Fate: It does not matter. It does not matter at all. In any case, you two are one person. By the way, when Ryougi Shiki wakes up, can she see this chat group?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Of course, she can. In the end, I registered this account using Ryougi Shiki’s identity. It has been too boring, after all. I initially wanted to use Ryougi Shiki’s body to see the world for myself. However, she has not woken up. What can I observe? The wilted lilies in the vase by the bedside?

He Who Knows Fate: The lilies I replaced already wilted?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Indeed, they have wilted already. If you still don’t come and change them, even the petals will start falling off.

He Who Knows Fate: I’ll find some time to change the flowers, then.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Alright. Don’t bring lilies this time. Change to roses.

He Who Knows Fate: Giving patients roses is inappropriate, right?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: It’s fine, it’s fine. Ryougi Shiki can’t see it anyway; only I can.

He Who Knows Fate: As long as you are happy.

Queen of Ice and Snow: Seriously speaking, I suggest Root Shiki think back to see if she missed anything important. Otherwise, the world consciousness of Chen Heng’s world would be an example of what might happen.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: But my worlds have never produced a transcender. Erm…never mind. Since you put it that way, I do feel a little worried. Wait for me. I’ll go check the logs. I’ll make sure I’ve handed everything that needs to be done to the world automatic mechanisms. However, there should not be any problems with Gaia and Alaya there, right?

Iron Fist Teacher: I don’t think you even need to check. If you return to the Type-Moon worlds now, there will definitely be a pile of problems to solve.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I think the reason would be your giving Gaia and Alaya a portion of a world consciousness’s authority.

He Who Knows Fate: I previously took a mission. I think that mission was needed because Gaia blocked Sigurd from being summoned. That nearly caused the main character’s party to wipe out in the 1st Singularity.

Solomon: The person involved then is here. I can attest to that.

Magus of Flowers: That’s right. That’s right. I recently did two Type-Moon-worlds missions. Gaia and Alaya indeed caused them by squabbling. You’d better deal with it quickly. Otherwise, if there are too many Type-Moon-worlds missions, I won’t be able to complete them alone.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: That’s not right. If you solve these problems, won’t that mean there won’t be any more Type-Moon-worlds missions?

Magus of Flowers: That’s right. This means you cannot summon me.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Tsk! I’ll go see if there are any missions now.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Alright. I regret handing some world consciousness authority to Gaia and Alaya now. I’ll remotely withdraw the authority and hand it to the automatic world mechanism. I initially thought they could help the automatic world mechanism deal with the problems. Now, it looks like they are the source of the problems.

He Who Knows Fate: Little Sis, there’s no problem with that thought.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: I think you’d better stick to Younger Sister. Although I really don’t want to respond to that address, it’s still better than Little Sis.

He Who Knows Fate: Alright, Little Sis. Got it, Little Sis.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: …

Queen of Ice and Snow: Now, it is a race between Yakumo Yukari finding a suitable mission first or Merlin earning enough points to buy the fate-severing talisman first before Root Shiki takes the authority back and the automatic world mechanism solves the problems.

“Elder Brother Heng, it’s time to cook dinner.” After a long time, Luo Li’s knocking came from Chen Heng’s door, rousing him from his study of the Will Energy cultivation technique given by a transcender.

After reading this Will Energy cultivation technique his ancestor requested from another transcender, Chen Heng only had one word in his heart: Awesome!

As for the effects of this thing…to be continued. Right now, the most important thing was: cooking dinner.

After all, things had to be solved according to their urgency. Of course, priorities differed between people and their perspectives.

“Elder Brother Heng, when did you learn to cook?” Objectively speaking, Luo Li had lived with Chen Heng for a long time. She thought she knew him very well; at the very least, she would not be mistaken about his cooking abilities.

As for Chen Heng’s original cooking ability, it would be hard to describe with just a word. It was no better than Mo Qingtong’s experienced mother. Of course, one was someone who had never learned to cook, while the other had a poor sense of taste.

Initially, Luo Li planned to cook herself, but Sirin stopped it. It was not just Sirin; even Jeanne d’Arc and the dog-sized dragon said Chen Heng’s cooking was extremely delicious. Hence, Luo Li came up to get Chen Heng.

“The Dimension Administrators Association’s store sells many skills and techniques, including mid-tier cooking. Back then, I purchased this skill so I could take care of Sirin and improve my food situation without having to order in every time.”

Now, it looked like the 500 points had been excellent value for money. Furthermore, such life skills were very cheap. He could earn a few thousand points by stabbing a reincarnator to death. Saving Doctor also earned him 3,000 points. Given this, 500 points had been well worth it and could perfectly satisfy Chen Heng’s tastebuds.

“For Sirin?”

Chen Heng suddenly noticed that Luo Li looked at him strangely.

“Ah! Sirin…her situation is rather complicated. You heard from System 2333 already, right? Sirin was System 10086’s temporary host. After transmigrating to this world, System 10086 returned to the system mainframe to be remade; it paid me 2,000 points to take care of Sirin for one month. Back then, I had just joined the association and did not have a single point to my name, so I agreed,” Chen Heng explained out of a desire to survive.

“Is it only for points?” Luo Li understood Chen Heng quite well. She did not think he would adopt someone he did not know just for points.
