Time in a collapsing world

Eden poured Xi a glass of fruit wine, not much, only half of the glass, and said he wanted Xi to have a simple taste first.

Under Destobia's veiled dissuasion and Alicia's expectant gaze, Nozomi still took a small sip.

"...How's it going, Nozomi?"

Destobia stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xi's eyes, fearing that she would fall down on the table with a "snap" like Li did.

"Sister Destobia, I'm fine. Sister Eden's alcohol content is really low~"

Xi had no intention of getting drunk. The fruit wine in her mouth slid down her throat, almost like drinking a drink.

"Huh...this is really great..."

Destobia glanced at her captain, whose expression showed disappointment visibly.

"Then I'll leave this bottle at your place. Is that okay, Xi?" Eden pushed over a bottle of fruit wine.

"No problem~"

"..."

The drinking party continued, and Li was also feeling Nozomi's current body at the same time. She was really not affected by the alcohol at all, and she was more or less relieved.

"Miss, the goods you purchased have arrived."

Someone knocked on the door, and the voice sounded like it was a waiter. After Eden allowed him to come in, the door was opened.

The waiter held four beautifully packaged flat rectangular boxes, placed them on the small shelf next to the door, and then quietly exited.

"Huh? Eden, what is this?"

Alicia had not bought anything, so she turned her attention to Eden.

"It's a reception gift, given to everyone."

Eden drank the wine in his glass, then stood up and walked to the shelf, lifted four boxes and distributed them to everyone.

"Eden Eden, can I open it?"

Alicia's hand was already on the ribbon of the packaging box.

"Of course, you can open it too. It'll be fine." Eden smiled at everyone.

"Let me see...ah, it's chocolate!"

Alicia was the first to open the package and made a sound of surprise, followed by Destobia, Hua and Xi.

"Mine is chocolate too."

"Me too."

"..."

Nozomi looked at the types of chocolates of other sisters, and then looked at her own, and found that the flavors of the four chocolates seemed to be different.

"Is it possible that today is Valentine's Day? You actually gave chocolate as a gift to four people at the same time. How bold are you, Eden?" Alicia joked, taking out the chocolate and taking a sip, "Yeah, it smells like milk. Of~?”

"Am I Passion Fruit?"

Destobia didn't eat it, so she smelled it lightly.

"Berry."

"I'm...huh?"

Why is there a smell of wine, which is stronger than the fruit wine just now? Is it because I drank too much wine? Or is this the smell of chocolate itself?

Xi checked the packaging, but unfortunately there was no text information on it.

"Sister Eden, what are the four chocolate flavors you bought?" Xi asked.

"Haha... I picked them at random. Maybe it was the owner of the chocolate shop's bad taste. He didn't reveal any information about these chocolates to me."

Eden thought about it for a moment, and then added: "However, when the boss handed these chocolates to me, he seemed to have said that one of them was particularly special and the taste he particularly admired~"

"..."

Isn't it just my share?

Xi tried to ask Li, but after listening to several people's discussion of women's topics for a long time, the other party fell into a deep sleep, and Xi shouted several times without waking her up.

Time has come to the end of the reception, and the chocolates presented by Eden were used as small desserts after the meal. Destobia, Hua, and Alicia all tasted a few, no more, no less, which could satisfy their appetites. Desire, and can prevent overeating leading to excessive obesity.

"Xi, don't you try it?"

Alicia asked strangely, seeing that none of the chocolates in the package that Xi opened had been touched.

"Well……"

Xi hesitated, "Sister Alicia, how about you try one?"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"Okay, here~"

Xi took out a piece of black chocolate that exuded a mellow aroma and handed it to Alicia. The other person also stood up unceremoniously and bit into it with a "Ah!"

"..."

Xi suddenly retracted her hand. The moment Alicia bit down, her fingertips were touched by the other party's lips and teeth, and were stained with some crystal saliva.

"Thank you for the hospitality~?"

Alicia held her face and tasted it carefully, but after two or three seconds, she said "eh".

"Sister Alicia, what's wrong?"

Nozomi looked at her nervously, trying to guess the taste of chocolate based on Alicia's expression.

"Hmm... where's the nice hazelnut-flavored chocolate~?" Under Xi's gaze, Alicia's expression returned to normal.

Is it hazelnut flavored chocolate?

Hearing Alicia's answer, the innocent Xi sniffed lightly again. There was no other smell besides the smell of wine... Could it be that he drank too much fruit wine?

"Xi, you should try it quickly, it's delicious~?" Alicia was urging Xi, but she accidentally let out a small wine burp while speaking, and quickly covered it with her hands.

"..."

Is this liqueur chocolate? And the alcohol content seems to be quite high... Sister Alicia's wine burp is proof of that.

After that, Nozomi refused to eat it no matter what she said, which greatly disappointed Alicia. However, this chocolate was Eden's heart after all. Nozomi would take it home even if she didn't eat it, and then let Sister Petunia or Daisy Dobby Sister Ya, please help me solve it.

……

"The three hundred and twenty-ninth experiment begins."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"The experimental subject fell into madness, the mental world was abnormal, and the experiment failed."

Seeing the failed product being carried off the field by the researchers, Mei said calmly: "Prepare for the 330th experiment."

"Dr. Mei, the number of experimental subjects is not enough."

"Where are the volunteers?"

"Only eighty-nine, very few."

"No, it's already a lot."

"But it's not even more than a hundred..."

"They are eighty-nine individuals, not just the number eighty-nine."

"..."

"When the experimental subjects are exhausted, let's let volunteers come on board... By the way, how is the progress of improving the MM reagent?"

"There has been some progress, but we can't put it into experiments yet."

"...Continue to recruit. We cannot stop until this experiment is successful."

"Yes……"

"Conduct standard tests on the fighters in the base in two weeks, including fusion fighters."

"Fusion warriors also want...?"

"Hmm...Aponia has returned to the deepest place?"

"Yes, she said that Mr. Qianjie seems to be trying to leave again and needs to go back and take care of him."
