Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 151

If it weren't for Bai Mao and Roland doing this, Artoria might have felt embarrassed, then wouldn't have thought about it at all, would have simply forgotten about it, apologized in her heart, and then silently left.

But now these two people are Bai Mao and Roland... This made Artoria's thoughts wander a little.

Could it be...

Is this also a task that the deputy needs to complete?

At this thought, Artoria automatically conjured up an image of Roland holding her in her mind...

hiss--

Artoria felt her face getting hot.

But if it's with Roland...

Well, since it's part of the job, I won't back down!

....

97. The one chosen by Miss Eden must also be a fake!

When Roland returned to the Honkai World from the upper level of the Void Realm, it was already the next morning.

He saw the message that Eden's little girl's agent had sent him on the chat app.

The message said that Eden had taken a liking to the sheet music he left with, and that Eden would be announcing this afternoon that the call for song submissions was over and that he would be performing the song at the Australian concert. So he was asked to come to Eden's manor at noon to make preparations in advance.

Roland's initial response was simply, "I understand."

Then he returned to the Anti-Entropy headquarters, intending to visit the site first before heading to Eden's manor.

Everything was the same at Anti-Entropy, but Roland saw Pado, who had just returned from a business trip, chatting with Tiamat at Anti-Entropy headquarters, so he went over to them.

“Paddo, Tiamat... Hmm, Paddo, it seems your Fusion Warrior surgery has brought you something new.”

Roland greeted them both, then his attention remained fixed on Paddo's ears... and her tail.

Pado wagged her tail at this, probably because too many people had asked her that question, so she didn't care that much, and even skillfully explained it to Roland.

"Hey boss, you mean the cat ears and cat tail?"

"It's not a big problem. Apart from the style of the pants needing to be changed, everything else is fine. In fact, the tail is more flexible than our hands in some ways."

"I've noticed that many of the other older brothers and sisters who participated in the Fusion Warrior program haven't changed much except for their physical attributes, but quite a few of them are actually quite envious of us!"

Roland knew that Paddy was a smooth talker.

Just as he was talking about this, he noticed that Tiamat's gaze fell on Paddo. Under her gaze, Paddo naturally wouldn't mention the disadvantages of the ears and tail, lest Tiamat, who had performed the fusion warrior surgery on her, feel any psychological burden.

Even now, Roland saw that Pado was constantly telling him this with her eyes, so he couldn't help but laugh and went along with what she was saying.

"That's true. Although the most basic Honkai Beast genes won't bring any changes, slightly stronger Honkai Beast genes with special abilities will give some characteristics to the Fusion Warriors. For example, Aponia can grow a pair of golden insect wings, and when Qianjie gets angry, I see his mask turn into a burning ghost face. Alicia also grew pointed ears like Medea."

"Perhaps that's why I see many Fusion Warriors taking pride in retaining some of their mutated characteristics. After all, being qualified to grow these characteristics means that the Honkai Beast genes they were matched with are not ordinary. And among Fusion Warriors, this is often a powerful label, a more representative and unique badge than the Medal of Glory."

"That's right, that's why I love these ears and tail, hehe, they even make doing business inside the anti-entropy area much more convenient."

"...Um."

Tiamat nodded when she heard Paddo and Roland say that, at least she didn't seem to care that much about it.

But before Paddo and Roland could even breathe a sigh of relief, Tiamat started whispering among herself.

"Since everyone likes this trait, should we intentionally retain this type of trait when the fusion warriors upgrade in the future...?"

hiss--

Tiamat's voice was soft, but it was no surprise that it reached the ears of Padre, who had become a fusion warrior.

My family knows their own affairs.

This characteristic does give Pado an advantage inside the entropy, but it's inconvenient outside of it!

It's so troublesome to have to pretend every time!

So Pado quickly signaled to Roland with her eyes.

Although she didn't say a word, Roland seemed to hear Paddo's voice—stop Tia's audacious idea!

"Tiamat, some things don't need to be forced. Just let things take their natural course. After all, if everyone has a medal like this, then it's meaningless."

"Um..."

Tiamat nodded as if she understood, which relieved Paddo.

However, she was too happy too soon.

Tiamat was alright, but Roland's gaze fell on her again.

"Pado, forget about the tail, but these ears are so nice, would you mind letting me touch them?"

Um! ?

Paddo instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could say it, Roland spoke first.

"What, you won't even let me touch them? Do you think these ears are embarrassing or troublesome?"

Paddo couldn't reconcile the fact that she wasn't allowed to be touched with the fact that she felt ashamed of her ears, but when she noticed Tiamat looking at her again, she sighed inwardly, knowing that she couldn't avoid it anymore.

"Well... okay."

Paddy lowered her head in humiliation, and then Roland placed his hand on her head, deliberately stroking her cat-like ears as he did so, leaving Paddy standing there, her whole body trembling.

After getting these ears, she hardly dared to touch them herself, let alone let anyone else touch them!

But she never expected her ears to be so...sensitive!

In short, this will be the first time. Next time, no matter who it is, she will never let anyone touch her ears again!

Paddy closed her eyes, as if she were taking very bitter medicine, and Roland's smile widened as he looked at her.

Anyone who saw this scene would look at Paddo with pity, but in Tiamat's eyes, it was a completely different matter.

Roland is very happy.

Paddo... Hmm, judging from her vital signs, she seems to be feeling quite comfortable?

Tiamat blinked as she thought of this.

Is it really that good to have such ears? They're comfortable and they make Roland happy.

This made Tiamat ponder once again.

She wanted to make Roland happy, but she didn't have ears like those, only horns—though her horns were too big, so they might need to be reduced in size.

So... would touching the horn make Roland happy?

Roland was still teasing Paddo in Anti-Entropy, while at Eden's manor, some people came directly to Eden after he revealed that he had chosen his songs.

“Miss Eden, I think my writing is pretty good too, no worse than that person’s.”

A young, handsome man with blond hair, exuding an air of sophistication, was trying to force an elegant smile.

He also held a musical score in his hand.

But of course, it wasn't written by him; rather, it was composed by musicians hired by his family at great expense.

His goal was to attract young people's attention to Eden, and he even did a lot of research for this purpose.

However, Eden had clearly noticed this, so he shook his head at the man in front of him.

"No, thank you for your kindness, but I have already made my choice, so please go back."

187 She first said this to the man in front of her, and then said the same thing to the other people behind him who were carrying sheet music.

However, most of these guys had ulterior motives. Those who genuinely wanted Eden to help them look at the sheet music left after leaving it behind, while the rest were not so easily given up on.

So after being rejected by Eden, these guys exchanged unpleasant glances.

They were all similar to the young man who spoke earlier; they were the kind of people whose families had found many musicians to write down scores, and who had also done some music studies themselves. In fact, they were all coming for Eden.

Because they did it themselves, they knew just how valuable Eden's works and the works that Eden would choose were.

They didn't believe that any young person could actually write a piece that would satisfy Eden.

So the one who was chosen must be just like them!

So, based on the principle of tearing other people's umbrellas even if they get wet themselves, these guys did some research and came up with this reason.

“We are all music lovers and art lovers, so since Miss Eden said that the musician will be coming to the manor this afternoon, we would like to meet him and preferably hear him play. With his skill, he should be able to convince us with his performance!”

Yes.

They firmly believed that the person they had never met was just like them!

They all spent a lot of money to buy sheet music, but in reality, they only had some understanding of music. However, their performance skills were completely inferior to those of professionals. They were just shady characters!

So they can fail, but no one is allowed to succeed!

....

98. This is a difference in levels.

"These guys are really annoying."
