“Wait…Elder Brother, are you going to Tohsaka Rin’s house?” Sirin asked, breaking the silence.
“Bingo! Truly my younger sister. How clever!”
“…” At this point, if Sirin failed to grasp the hint her brother had thrown, she should take an IQ test at the Dinsion Administrators Association.
“Tohsaka Rin? The re:lifer? How’d you figure that out, Sirin?”
“Before coming here, my elder brother found out about the Re:Life Chat Group’s Tohsaka Rin. So people from ho also intended to visit. Therefore, he said he would check whether this world’s Tohsaka Rin was the re:lifer. Once Root confird it, I knew my elder brother would surely go there.”
It was no surprise that Doctor Roman didn’t catch on, as he was not privy to the happenings at Chen Heng’s house.
“You’re saying the Servant slot is going to be accommodation and travel expenses, right? Also, as a public servant, isn’t it a problem if those from your family illegally transmigrate here so openly?” Doctor Roman questioned, rembering he was a Dinsion Administrators Association mber, a public servant on the interdinsional level. However, Chen Heng brushed it all aside.
“Doctor Roman, don’t be so rigid,” Chen Heng retorted. “Even if the Dinsion Administrators Association orders to send them back, can’t I do that when it happens? They are here for a vacation. It shouldn’t cause any major issues, especially when the existence of a re:lifer, Tohsaka Rin, has already brought about significant changes to this world. Adding a little more won’t make much difference.”
“You…never mind. As long as you are happy. By the way, do you know where Tohsaka Rin’s house is? I rember they moved to a city near Fuyuki City, but the ani didn’t ntion where exactly.”
“Don’t worry, Doctor Roman. You don’t have to fret over this; we have the Absolute Precognition, don’t we? It’s especially handy in the Type-Moon worlds. I feel as if the world itself has given it a boost. Even if we don’t seek Tohsaka Rin now, we will et her in the future. In one tiline, I asked her for her ho address and even visited it to confirm the location.”
“The Absolute Precognition is very useful. I envy you,” Doctor Roman admitted with longing in his eyes.
“Doctor Roman, you have no right to say such a thing. Wasn’t your high-ranked Clairvoyance much stronger than mine? If you had joined the Dinsion Administrators Association without forsaking your power, who knows, maybe your Clairvoyance could have been enhanced to an EX-ranked Clairvoyance. What would you do if you possessed the Absolute Precognition?” Chen Heng asked.
“If I had the Absolute Precognition in the past, I would swear off paying attention to Magi Mari-chan. Instead, I’d use the Absolute Precognition to follow my favorite ani series. As for now, I just admire it. I haven’t thought about what I’d do with the Absolute Precognition.”
Doctor Roman paused, realizing that having the Absolute Precognition would be pointless for him. He wasn’t a martial type, and he had already seen all the plots in his world with Gudako.
“My king, what is this Magi Mari?” The Queen of Sheba, who had been supporting Doctor Roman’s head, suddenly expressed interest in Magi Mari-chan.
“…” Doctor Roman fell silent. He had no idea how to explain it to the Queen of Sheba.
Should he tell her that Magi Mari-chan was an Internet idol he had been obsessed with, only to find out that she was actually a crude guy?
Although Doctor Roman didn’t put on airs in Chaldea or the association and sotis even ridiculed himself, he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of the Queen of Sheba for so reason.
Perhaps this was an issue of a man’s pride before a woman?
“Queen of Sheba, you don’t need to worry about this,” Chen Heng said. “You’ll see Magi Mari-chan in a few days. She’s also in this world, but she’s a bit busy at the mont.”
“Oh! I’m suddenly very interested in this Magi Mari-chan,” the Queen of Sheba said, sensing sothing peculiar in Doctor Roman’s tone when he ntioned Magi Mari-chan. It even seed sowhat dismal. Was that a misperception?
“Sheba, don’t call king in this world. I no longer have my strength. You can call Doctor Roman or just Roman,” Doctor Roman suggested. He was more accustod to being called Doctor Roman or Roman. It felt sowhat strange to be addressed as king by the Queen of Sheba.
“Roman, huh? It’s a nice na,” the Queen of Sheba said, genuinely liking the na Roman, which offered a delightful touch of humanity.
Connecting Roman to the word for romantic, she thought the changes after he surrendered his power and beca human were indeed profound.
[TL Note: The Chinese word for Roman is the first two characters for the Chinese transliteration of romantic. The raw’s correlation went from Roman to romantic (transliteration) to romantic (in Chinese).]
“Doctor Roman, if you ask the Queen of Sheba to call you by a nickna, shouldn’t you do the sa to her? Do you two have any pet nas for each other?”
After Chen Heng raised the question, a spark of gossip ignited in him. It was not just him. Sirin, who sat cross-legged in midair, secretly focused her attention on this.
Gossip is a common human trait, and there’s no sha in it.
Doctor Roman, scratching his cheek, replied, “Pet nas? None, really. Are you disappointed?” He noticed the downcast faces of Sirin and Chen Heng.
“Well, you could co up with one now!”
“…Alright, alright. We can deal with that later. Let’s call Sheba Barbie, for now, to prevent those Masters and Servants from guessing her true na.”
“Barbie? It’s alright, certainly better than being called Caster.” Even if the Queen of Sheba wasn’t completely satisfied with this nickna, at least it felt more intimate than Caster.
Doctor Roman, eager to change the subject, chid in. “Alright, alright. Let’s move on, Chen Heng. Can we head to Tohsaka Rin’s house now?”
“Yes, yes, yes. There’s no rush. Really!” Chen Heng assured. “We have two ways to get there: either I fly you there, or we can spatial jump there. You choose.” Chen Heng provided two choices, letting everyone pick.
“I want to fly, I want to fly! I want Elder Brother to carry while we fly.” Sirin was excited at the prospect.
“…Then we fly,” Doctor Roman agreed, abandoning his initial plan to use spatial transfer to arrive quickly. Seeing Sirin’s excited expression, he didn’t have the heart to refuse.
Even though he wasn’t a master at reading emotions, Doctor Roman knew from Sirin’s brocon erotica that she had so devious feelings towards Chen Heng, a situation he wanted no part of.
“Can’t you fly on your own, Sirin?”
“Elder Brother, how is that the sa?! The feeling of flying myself and of being carried by you are totally different. Don’t you want to carry ? Elder Brother, do you hate ? Am I—Sirin—not cute enough, or has Elder Brother set your sights higher?!” She filled her eyes with faux tears poised to spill over at any mont.
Chen Heng responded, “…No, how could I?! Sirin, you’re so adorable; who wouldn’t want to hold you?” Although he knew Sirin was acting, Chen Heng couldn’t say he disliked her.
On the topic of Sirin’s acting, there was room for improvent, but she was quite good, ready to cry at a mont’s notice.
Ever since her return from the Honkai Impact 3rd’s world, Sirin had experienced much, and her attitude had changed drastically, giving off a feeling of inexplicable strength. Chen Heng, who had witnessed this transformation, felt its depth more than anyone else.
In the past, Sirin had been like a cozy cotton jacket to Chen Heng. Now, she had morphed into a shield. If he had to choose between the two versions of Sirin, it would be a difficult decision.
Her change from being submissive to firm symbolized her growth, though it had deviated slightly off the mark.
Hence, Chen Heng flew off with Doctor Roman and the Queen of Sheba, carrying Sirin in his arms.
The pair of the Queen of Sheba and Doctor Roman experienced a smooth ride. Chen Heng had set a course for them with his attraction ability, aiming for Tohsaka Rin’s location. Despite their speed, their journey was undeniably steady.
However, the journey for Chen Heng and Sirin was a bit more thrilling. At Sirin’s insistence, Chen Heng took her on a daring roller coaster ride with 360-degree loops in all directions.
Sirin professed that although she could fly herself, being flown by soone else offered a distinctly different sensation.
Being flown by Chen Heng gave Sirin the pleasure of enjoying Chen Heng’s full-on care while also experiencing a thrill greater than that of a roller coaster. The best part? She didn’t have to worry about safety.
Chen Heng didn’t mind his attraction ability being used like a roller coaster; as long as Sirin was happy, that was all that mattered.
However, when the thrill peaked, Sirin had a habit of grabbing Chen Heng’s arm. To avoid hurting Sirin, Chen Heng removed the protective energy around himself, resulting in slight pain, albeit no injuries.
He Who Knows Fate: Doctor Roman, since your wife is here, you should pay attention to that Magi Mari-chan Yakumo Yukari promised you, the one Yakumo Yukari promised would fully obey you. It would be best if you discussed it with Yakumo Yukari now. Otherwise, it might end in a romantic rivalry.
Efreet: Actually, a romantic rivalry isn’t that bad. After all, it only indicates that a man or woman is popular. My elder sister is like that.
Efreet: But if Doctor Roman gets caught in a romantic rivalry between the Queen of Sheba and Magi Mari-chan…it would be unbearable to watch.
Solomon: …
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Brother, stop chatting and go faster. More! Faster! Give more!
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, hold on tight.
Umaru-chan: What are they doing? This conversation is very suggestive.
