Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"Riku!"

"Ok?"

…After evacuating from the Elves’ Ruined City, Shinji and his companions rushed to the tribe without stopping. Upon receiving the news that they had returned safely, Chronicle immediately ran over excitedly, wanting to hug her brother.

However, Riku instantly grabbed his shoulder and blocked it, then pushed him away as if to avoid suspicion.

"?"

Facing the girl's doubts, Riku said to her with a serious face:

"Kelong... don't come to see me again, I'm afraid Shinji will misunderstand."

“……!???”

After hearing this, the girl was stunned for a moment... Why did they go out for a walk and come back? Are these two... hooking up?

In response to this question, Riku simply gestured to Shinji behind the girl, indicating that the person you should hug is behind.

"..."

Chloë: (=?Д?=)

Shinji followed with Shubi from behind, and then saw a sculpture of a surprised girl, frozen there motionless...

"What are you doing again... performing stunts?"

After a moment of confusion, Shinji chose to ignore this girl who didn't seem to be very smart, and walked straight to his room with Hubie.

Although Riku felt sorry for this, he did not plan to intervene for the time being. After all, there was still a long time to come. Now he had to sort out the information he had collected recently...

Finally, the other tribesmen who came to greet them left one after another, leaving only Chroni, who was stunned by the lightning, standing there motionless...

At night, most people in the tribe were preparing to go to bed. After all, in this doomsday, there were only two most important things for humans every day: one was food, and the other was creating humans.

And as always, Hubie invited Shinji again, and acted directly without reason, but was finally kicked out by Shinji for not taking a shower...

Actually, it's not really an excuse, because Riku once sternly told them not to use [Elves] in the tribe, otherwise their shelter would be reduced to ruins.

This also caused Hubie, who had always relied on the [Elves] to clean himself, to gradually become dirty, but he himself did not master the skill of [Bathing].

So the burden of giving Hubie a bath finally fell on Chloroney...

“Huahua…Hua La…”

"Alas~ Why do I feel like my identity has become more and more complicated recently..."

With a sad face, Clooney scooped water from a wooden basin and gently poured it on Hubie's waist-length hair.

This was quite novel for Hubie, who was bathing for the first time. Although points were deducted because the person giving her a bath was not Shinji, the maid's technique was pretty good!

"…well!"

Seeing Hubie who seemed to treat her as a maid, Chloroney felt even more depressed... so she took advantage of Hubie's back to her and quietly pinched Hubie's little face.

Hubie noticed something unusual and turned his head to look, not quite understanding the meaning of this action. He tilted his head and turned back.

This action made Chloe very happy.

【This is so cute!!!】

The girl had an indulgent smile on her face, and her hand movements gradually became excessive.

But at best, she would just touch the machine's ears or the tail of the data cable from time to time. Otherwise, if Hubie got angry, she could be beaten to ashes with just a casual blow...

"By the way, Hubie, why don't you let Mr. Shinji help you wash?"

"…Hubby said so, but Shinji overruled him."

"Eh!? Are you guys having a conflict? No, I think Mr. Shinji still likes you very much."

Hubie shook his head:

"That's not the reason..."

"Maybe it's because Hubie always seduces Shinji, which makes Shinji unhappy..."

“…Ha…ha, so…so there is such a thing, then I don’t understand…”

Chloe looked away awkwardly. Sure enough, she shouldn't have talked about this terrible topic. Now she didn't dare to say anything...

Hubie soaked in the water with his eyes slightly squinted, with only the part above his mouth exposed. The mechanical device on his head was retracted and suspended to one side, showing a look of enjoyment.

"..."

"..."

"thump…"

"?"

Hubie's body suddenly stiffened, and she stared blankly at the feeling of two soft things pressing against the back of her head...

"Chloroney?"

"Ah, it feels so good... What's wrong, Hubie?"

Hubie didn't say anything, but stared at the two big white spots on the other's chest, then looked down at himself and fell silent.

Chloroney found this scene very interesting and even deliberately pulled Hubie over to let him lie directly in her arms:

"What's wrong, Hubie? I've worked so hard to bathe you, can't I take a bath too?"

Hubie remained silent, as if thinking about something in his mind... Finally, an idea flashed in his mind, and his eyes suddenly widened and stared at Chloni:

"I see!"

"Hmm? ...What do you know?"

"…Shinji is unwilling to be intimate with Hubie. It must be because Hubie's imitation is too poor, which makes Shinji not interested at all."

"Um... Sorry, I don't think I understand what you mean..."

"Then as long as Shubi studies more, he will definitely be able to create the most perfect body. Then Shinji will definitely fall in love with Shubi!"

"…Chloni, can you help me?"

Hubie was mumbling some strange things to himself, which made Chlorouni's head full of question marks. Then he suddenly stared at her with a very cute look, hoping to ask her for help.

Although she didn't know what the other party was talking about, although she didn't know how she could help, although she instinctively felt that something was wrong after being cheated many times...

But, again, no one could refuse a request from the incredibly cute Hubie.

"Of course! Hubie, if you have any questions, you can tell Sister Chloroney. Sister will definitely help you!"

The two looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding... Then, under Cloni's puzzled gaze, Hubie's head slowly sank until it was submerged in the water.

At this time, Chloe did not realize the seriousness of the problem... until she heard something strange under her body, she heard clearly what Hubie whispered before he sank:

"Let me check..."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"Wow!"

Clooney's face flushed red, and she hurriedly reached into the water and pulled Hubie out.

Hubie looked at the girl in front of her who suddenly interrupted her observation of biology knowledge. Her face was red and bleeding, and she was still breathing heavily...

Hubie:? (Tilts his head)

"state!"

"There's no point in trying to be cute!"

Chloro Ni punched Hubie on the head in anger... God knows how much of a shock it was for such an innocent girl like her when she was opened up just now!

"why?"

"Tell me why!"

"Clarkney clearly promised Hubie that she would help Hubie, why is she going back on her word now?"

"I didn't say I would help you do this! And it was you who didn't make it clear, okay? How could someone just do something without saying anything?"

“…Hubby is not a human.”

"…That won't work either! Da! Baa! Yo!"

"Oh…"

Hubie went back into the water dejectedly, his pitiful look made people feel sorry for him, but Chloe felt that for the sake of her own dignity, she had to be ruthless this time!

……

at the same time

Shinji and Riku are each studying different aspects of the problem.

In the dim room, Riku leaned over the brown paper in the dim light, holding a pen and continuously adding information on it:

"...Now the goblins and elves each have weapons powerful enough to destroy the balance. The main races on the continent are the Werebeasts, the Fairies, and other less powerful ones..."

"Next are the Flügel with Sky Strike, the Dragonites with Roar of the Collapse, and the Titans and Phantasms of which there is no news..."

"…As for the very end, that is…"

"Snapped!"

A chess piece landed on the paper, and Riku's face revealed a hint of excitement...

“…【Old Deus】!”

While Riku, the native, was constantly analyzing the current situation, Shinji was hiding in the room studying the power system of this world.

That is the so-called "Elves"...

"Interesting... an energy system that is close to magic, but because of the existence of [elves], the attacks released are far better than magic... it really has almost reached the realm of [magic]..."

[All mysteries will lose their effect when encountering a higher level of mystery...]

"It seems... it's time to resume my role as a researcher..."
