Chloe thought that maybe it was because Miseria needed to handle every detail of the Fantasy Show.
So in the upcoming ti, although Miseria would still take ti to watch the two of them rehearse,
sohow, he always felt that the usually vibrant vice president’s expression had beco sowhat gloomy.
"Hey, little foodie, we have to perform well and not let big sis down."
"Okay!"
And so, amidst such busyness, the ti for the Fantasy Show to start finally arrived.
...
At this mont, downstairs at Miseria’s place.
She was on the phone with Lilith.
Lilith: [How’s everything coming along?]
Miseria said, "More or less, so why am I the one opening?"
Lilith: [After I graduate, you’ll be the president. If you don’t start organizing now, do you plan to fumble around alone after I leave?]
Miseria sighed, "I know, it’s just that I’m so used to having you up there."
Lilith: [Enough nonsense, Miseria, this Fantasy Show is almost entirely your handiwork, so of course, you should be the one to open it. By the way, are your clothes all set?]
Miseria’s face turned a little red, softly saying:
"Why did you specifically send an outfit? It’s not like I can’t buy one myself."
[Get out, with that chick-like taste of yours, you’d be unpresentable on stage.]
"Damn it, it’s clearly your style that’s too extre!"
Looking at herself dressed more beautifully than usual, Miseria felt a bit out of sorts.
[Really?]
Lilith’s light laughter ca through the phone.
She heard the subtle joy concealed beneath Miseria’s shy and embarrassed voice.
It was the joy of seeing oneself in a different form.
In the past,
this friend of hers had always, due to her own presence, beco sowhat subconsciously inferior.
But Lilith thought it was unnecessary.
Because any woman in front of her would find it hard not to feel inferior.
She had that kind of confidence.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Miseria quickly changed the topic:
"Hmm, I’m about to head out, let’s talk later."
"Sure, see you later, be careful on your way."
Having not worn high heels for a long ti, Miseria now felt a bit unaccustod.
Especially with the new look, she always felt a bit peculiar.
At this mont, a surprised voice suddenly ca from behind her.
Turning her head, Miseria saw Chloe walking over, greeting her with a wave:
"Vice President, you look amazing! You really dressed up more than usual."
Miseria was instantly surprised, then bashfully said:
"Wha—what are you doing? Were—were you waiting for ?"
"Yes, I just ca over from Magic Street and thought of going to school together."
"Oh, then sh—shall we go together?"
"Sure!"
However, as they walked, the expressions on their faces began to turn a little awkward.
Chloe took the initiative to break the silence.
"By the way, big sis..."
"Wh—what? Do you want a beating?"
"Haha, will you really hit , big sis? I’m pretty nervous right now!"
"Re—really nervous? Want to comfort you?"
"No, I’m not nervous, actually yes, I am quite nervous. After all, if this performance doesn’t succeed..."
Fratiss might not have many more chances to survive.
Blood Angel is basically Lilith’s appointed deputy in the Divine Kingdom, and now the power of the Red Moon is converging, probably not far from full restoration.
And this convergence, even Lilith as she is now cannot easily stop.
What’s worse is that during the ti between the Red Moon’s reappearance and full convergence, Lilith has a period of weakness.
During this period, she cannot exert much power among The Stars.
If Fratiss cannot manage to gain the opportunity to borrow the power of the Red Moon through this ritual, she might be attacked and killed the mont the Red Moon rises.
But fortunately, he would never allow this foolish sister to make mistakes.
Alas.
Because of the Fantasy Show, he had been too distracted lately.
He hadn’t experienced the feeling of worrying about failure for a long ti.
Indeed, when you always solve problems with brute force, it’s easy to forget to use your brain.
Thinking of Miseria, he turned his head back:
"Umm... big sis, you’re not feeling unwell, are you?"
"Huh? ? I’m fine, in pretty good shape, what’s up?"
"Nothing, just..."
Chloe hesitated and said:
"Because lately, your complexion doesn’t seem too good, I thought maybe we’re making you worry too much?"
He said a bit awkwardly:
"After all, the actors’ realm in the Fantasy Show is still quite unfamiliar to .
If I were to explore it myself, I’d probably ss up.
You’re obviously very busy, yet we take up so much of your ti, it feels like we’re relying too much on you.
So..."
"So?"
"Really, thank you for helping us, big sis, and worrying for your situation."
Chloe said this with a very sincere expression.
For so reason, Miseria felt her heart skip a beat.
Chloe smiled and said:
"Although it might seem unnecessary to fret, I still want to ask, big sis, have you not been feeling well lately?"
"No."
"Well, that’s really great, please look forward to our performance today, we’ve truly been well cared for during this ti."
Miseria’s cheeks were slightly red, and her gaze instinctively fell on Chloe’s clean face.
[How did he know I look unwell?]
[Is it that obvious?]
[Does junior actually care about ?]
[He seems to really care, I also care about him]
[What should I do? I really wish his eyes would always be on ]
[Damn, Miseria, since when did you beco a lovestruck girl?]
[But... I can’t be blad for overthinking this!]
[What normal person keeps staring at soone they don’t care about?!]
"Haha, senior, you’ve been silent all this ti, it’s making nervous now."
Chloe blinked and said:
"Aren’t you going to give a bit of encouragent?"
"Yes, yes, yes, what should I encourage? Y-you should think of a way to perform well..."
Can’t do it.
So embarrassing.
Can’t even speak properly.
Miseria felt she couldn’t look Chloe in the eyes at all.
Following behind, Chloe laughed and said:
"Haha, I was just joking. Even if it’s for you, I’ll definitely perform well. By the way, do you want to buy water? My treat."
Miseria wiped her cheeks.
Her fingertips seed to feel the warmth on her cheeks.
She reached out with a trembling hand to grab Chloe’s wrist,
"Huh? Senior, why is your hand shaking so much? Are you nervous too?"
The next mont, Chloe fell into a warm embrace.
Miseria only felt her heart pounding as if it was going to explode, afraid that this hug would let him hear her heartbeat.
On the other hand, Chloe was still stunned for a mont.
Why did it beco this awkward situation?
This is bad.
Chloe suddenly realized a terrifying problem.
This is not good.
Damn simulation!
Ever since he could invade Rephya’s life simulation, he has gone through many second lives.
Due to the influence of these second lives, so things are beyond his control.
A typical problem.
Almost every ti he cos out of the simulation, he inevitably brings the experiences with his lovers into it.
In actual interactions, he tends to go overboard.
To use Fufu as an analogy, the romantic progress between him and Fufu originally stood at 30%, which was similar for both sides.
But after enduring a long life in the simulation, his romantic progress would unilaterally jump from 30% to 100%.
Not to ntion romantic progress, even marital progress was mostly completed.
So when reflected in reality, so of his actions appear... particularly excessive.
He has actually noticed this.
He tries to be careful in controlling himself.
But so things are just not changeable at will.
Subtly, many of his actions are revealed in the little details of daily life.
If it were just with his lovers, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.
After all, their relationship in reality is progressing well.
Montarily, all sorts of helplessness and conflict surged in his heart.
He’s sowhat aware of this.
For Rephya, her system leans more towards simulation.
But for Chloe, it fundantally ant living a second life.
Therefore, for those who frequently interacted with him, his friendship level with them was indeed maxed out.
With males, it’s no big deal.
His close friends in the dorm already have a solid friendship foundation; those carefree guys wouldn’t notice these things.
It’s possible that Fat Daniel might notice... Their relationship has long been akin to sworn brothers.
But with females, things are more complicated.
With Aisha, he now doesn’t know how to handle it.
Initially, he avoided her to prevent her from falling into the Abyss, so he distanced himself first.
But now it seems that was useless!
The mont the war starts, everyone he cares about would be targeted or even attacked by other World Groups.
For no particular reason.
No World Group wants to see the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch crossing the Star Realm again.
Of course, compared to other issues, the situation with Aisha isn’t that bad now.
Because Chloe originally intended to include Aisha under his protection.
But... with those who aren’t in a romantic relationship with him, limited to a few female friends, it’s going to be a big problem.
He once told Lilith that he couldn’t rember the nas of many mbers of the Fantasy Association.
In truth, it’s not that Chloe’s mory is bad and he can’t rember them.
On the contrary, he does it deliberately.
The purpose is to avoid situations like with Miseria.
But, well, when interacting with his lovers, it’s unavoidable to have dealings with familiar people.
Not to ntion, so affairs of the Extre Association inevitably require communication with certain individuals.
The biggest problem is Master Heisha.
Since the two of them don’t know how many tis they’ve inferred technical theories in the simulation, Heisha in reality is always surprised.
Because Chloe cooperates with her so well.
She even jokingly calls herself his soulmate.
Fortunately, Heisha, compared to romantic matters, is wholly devoted to research on technical theories.
At least for now, she has no interest in romance, so she doesn’t overthink it.
But it’s hard to say for others.
