Honkai, but Behind the Scenes

"I thought my education had been a success until she picks something off the ground to eat." 

Tian Shi replied stubbornly.

"If I had raised a child like you, little Lieserl would have died long ago." 

Planck put a hand to her forehead. 

"At least to the point where she can open an umbrella when it rains, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you two talking about?! I won't pick things off the ground to eat!"

 Senti protested. 

"Unless Master Tian tells me to eat it! As for rainy days... with an umbrella, the rain won't hit me!"

"You're quite fair, aren't you...?"

"Senti...!"

"Here!" Senti responded immediately.

"Go to sleep." 

After educating the mischievous child all day, Tian Shi was truly tired now.

"Huh?" 

Senti tilted her head, looking a little dissatisfied. 

"Go to bed now?"

"What else do you have in mind?" 

Tian Shi looked at the clock, the hour hand already pointing to eleven. 

"Go straight to room 101."

"Okay...!" 

It was clear that Senti was still full of energy.

I'm afraid even if she went out treasure hunting for a while, she wouldn't feel tired, but unfortunately, Tian Shi truly is tired.

Senti didn't know if she realized it or just didn't dare to disobey Tian Shi's words. 

Although she seemed reluctant, she obediently walked towards room 101.

"Then I'll stay in room 105 tonight."

As Planck said, she took a bowl from the kitchen and poured the noodles into it.

"Do you want to spend the night with me?"

"Hey!" 

Before Tian Shi could respond, Senti became excited.

"You think you are..." 

Senti's voice gradually faded halfway through her words.

"Go back to bed."

"Hmph...!" 

Senti glared at Tian Shi unhappily and shrunk her neck. 

She didn't dare to delay and hurried to room 101.

"Really... can't you save me some trouble?" 

Tian Shi sighed, then looked up at Planck. 

"And you, why are you using such a misleading statement?"

"I only use it because it's a misleading statement," Planck said with a smile, "If I didn't want to be misunderstood, I wouldn't have to!"

"Eating these oily noodles so late at night will make you gain weight." 

Tian Shi said coldly.

"..." 

After taking two bites of noodles, Planck rigidly put down her chopsticks and looked at Tian Shi with resentment. 

"Master, do you have to use such an unfair statement to hurt my heart?"

"I only used it because it can hurt your heart," Tian Shi replied with a smile.

Come on, are we going to hurt each other?

"Never mind, just keep eating."

"You said such hurtful things to me, and you still let me keep eating. Alliance Leader, you're a complete scoundrel~"

"Being sad about gaining weight is something that's really hard to complain about from a certain perspective."

"I am a beautiful girl."

Beautiful girl...!

Tian Shi looked away from Planck's face. 

Okay, a beautiful girl is a beautiful girl, if you say so, then so be it.

"By the way, here's a message sent by Welt. I printed it out, you can take a look." 

Planck took a folded A4 paper from her pocket and handed it to him.

"Important information?" 

Tian Shi asked as he opened it.

"Probably? But it doesn't really matter what it actually says."

After Tian Shi opened it, he found that the content seemed to be sent by Rita rather than Welt.

"It was first given to Shencheng Medical's Gray Snake, then Shencheng Medical's Gray Snake gave it to Haiyuan City's Gray Snake, and finally it was given to Welt."

"Was it sent through Anti-Entropy's line?" 

Tian Shi glanced at it and roughly understood how the news had passed through various hands. 

"Wasn't it exposed?"

"No, Otto still can't monitor Welt's line."

What was written above were probably the orders Otto issued after Schicksal Headquarters was destroyed. 

Surprisingly, Otto didn't call Bianka or Rita back again, but simply urged them to act. 

Is it because he's sure Senti won't make a surprise attack? 

If that were the case, Tian Shi inexplicably wanted to bring Senti back for a surprise attack. 

Forget it, Schicksal Headquarters isn't his own backyard, no matter what.

Could he have been infected with Senti's stupidity?

Then, Rita also described how Raven showed a strange expression when she found out the AV she was watching wasn't what she had imagined. 

Poor Raven, Rita easily manipulated her. 

Finally, she asked when Tian Shi would return and expressed her resentment in a very subtle way.

"It seems the relationship between the Alliance Leader and the S-rank Schicksal Valkyrie is very close?"

"As expected, compared to a ninety-something-year-old older sister, is a twenty-two-year-old girl's body more attractive? Or do you prefer the maid style, Alliance Leader?"

After seeing Tian Shi finish reading the message, Planck pretended to cry at the opportune moment.

A ninety-something-year-old older sister...! Tian Shi sighed, just forget it...!

"But then again, maid costumes and things like that, I am a little interested."

"Do you want to see me wear one?"

"I didn't say that." 

Tian Shi shook his head. 

"I'm going back to rest too."

"Today exhausted me."

"Do you really not want to spend the night with this sister?"

"I've already told you not to use words that can lead to misunderstandings."

After Tian Shi complained, he floated to room 105 without looking back, the first room he used to be in at Laboratory 42.

You really don't understand anything about romance, dear leader...

Room 105 Tian Shi lay comfortably on the bed. 

Although it was just a doll's body, it felt really good to be able to lie on the bed by himself. 

The old room 105, although nominally his own room, actually had Edison, Planck, and Schrödinger lying on the bed. 

The rotating cohabitation system back then... 

So he, the ghost, had no chance to stay in bed, although he wouldn't feel anything even if he stayed in bed. 

Unlike a doll's body, he couldn't actually feel the softness of the bed.

The next step was to wait until midnight. 

He only had some accumulation time left. 

When it reached zero, he could simulate those 13 heroes. 

But then again, compared to slowly accumulating rewards, wouldn't the rewards from a reunion be greater?

Tian Shi finally had some time to think about his own affairs. 

Einstein, Rita, and Bianka, these three people directly allowed Tian Shi to obtain nine accumulated breakthroughs, with an average of three rewards per person, not to mention a bunch of other abilities. 

The original reason for accumulating times was to take a break and have a guarantee, but now it seems the guarantee isn't important?

Just as Tian Shi was secretly calculating his future simulation rhythm, a rustling sound suddenly came from the door.

"..." 

Tian Shi put a hand to his forehead. 

Although there was no reason, his innate intuition made him understand something.

"Hua, is that you?" 

Tian Shi asked without turning his head.

"Um... good evening, Master Tian."

Sure enough, Senti's voice came from outside the door.

"You haven't slept yet..."

"What? Is something wrong?"

"No, no! I'm just a little thirsty, so I came out to get a glass of water." 

Senti outside the door quickly denied it.

I hope you're really getting water.

"Um... Master Tian, please go to bed early..."

After Senti said this guiltily, Tian Shi heard footsteps outside the door, and she left in a hurry.

"Hua, are you there?"

"Yes! Master Tian, what can I do for you?!" 

The one who should have left immediately responded.

"It's okay, Hua, aren't you going to get some water?"

"Eh! Master Tian, you tricked me!" 

Senti's wronged voice came from the other side of the door.

It seems Senti just reacted.

Tian Shi's heart was so tired. Who would have told him that preventing night attacks was also part of parenting? 

He was tired and just wanted to be alone tonight. 

The more he thought about it, the more he missed Rita's kindness.

"Go back to your room and sleep honestly."

"Oh..." 

Senti replied disappointedly.

"I want to sleep with you, Master Tian..."

"Don't even think about it."

I just want to be alone... why is it so hard?

"Well, it's okay if we don't sleep together! I can stay awake! If you kick off your quilt at night, I can cover you again."

"Hua, do you think I look like someone who kicks off the quilt while sleeping?"

"Well, if you're thirsty or hungry while sleeping, I can also..."

Indeed, this child's dependency symptoms are a bit excessive, aren't they? 

They've reached the point of requiring drastic measures for treatment. 

But even though he said it, Tian Shi couldn't bear to say anything harsh.

"Then you'll guard the door for me. Don't let anyone in before I come out."

"Come in? Who? That shameless green-haired old woman Planck? Okay! Master Tian, leave it to me! I'll never let those villains get close to this room!" 

Senti's voice suddenly became excited.

Even through the door, Tian Shi could hear Senti rubbing her hands, ready to act. 

Her fighting spirit is high...

But... putting that green-haired person aside, the person I really want to stop is you, Senti.

Tian Shi complained in his heart. 

Indeed, this child's IQ is definitely not enough, although I'm quite a genius for having this idea.

Alright, Tian Shi, don't think about anything now, relax and free your mind from fatigue. 

Tian Shi secretly advised himself. 

By the way, I said I'd take a break two days ago, but if you think about it, I've been working non-stop these days! Isn't this exactly like 007?

Suddenly, Tian Shi found that he seemed to be even more of a social slave than a social slave.

Forget it, don't overthink it. Rest, resting is the most important thing. 

There aren't many opportunities to rest in a big, soft bed.

[Ding! Today's number of simulations has been reset. Do you want to add it to the accumulated progress?]

Tian Shi woke up to the sound of the system.

"Definitely, yes!"

[Accumulated number of times reached, specific simulation initiated.]

[Please make a selection (current progress 3/6)]

[Settlement options are hidden]

[1. Mei and Kevin, forward] 

[2. Elysia's Game] 

[3. Eden's Song] 

[4. Vill-V · Contradiction] 

[5. Sunset Street · Thousand Calamities] 

[6. Su · Rescue] 

[7. Sakura · Leave the Past Behind] 

[8. Kosma · Maturity]

[9. Griseo · Flawless] 

[10. Sunset Street · Pardofelis]

[Please note that special treatment will be applied if your presence conflicts in the simulation.]

[Please note that "Sunset Street · Thousand Calamities" and "Sunset Street · Pardofelis" have major conflicts with the deleted simulation "Sunset Street · Aponia", so they will be directly treated specially.]

"Special treatment means..." 

Tian Shi had wanted to ask this question for a long time, so when he saw that two of the simulations had to be handled specially, he took the opportunity to ask.

"This simulation will open the virtual world line, that is, the world in which you never existed. After the simulation ends, the virtual world line will reintegrate into the original world line after rationalization."

"This aspect is really bad...!" 

Tian Shi scoffed.

This way, he won't be able to look for people he already knows in advance. 

For example, taking Mei and Kevin to transfer from Changkong City to Canghai City. 

It would be too painful if those acquaintances really didn't recognize him anymore.

After Tian Shi understood the system's mechanism, he no longer hesitated.

"Initiate simulation--!"

After some thought, Tian Shi chose Mei and Kevin's simulation. 

After all, Kevin is in the Sea of Quanta and is a high-level combat power. 

It would be a shame if he continued to stay in the Sea of Quanta eating noodles every day.

This was a simulation that was planned a long time ago. 

The reason Tian Shi hesitated for a moment was... he smelled the scent of babysitting.

He is the soul of the story! 

He's not the babysitter who looks after children every day! 

It would be nice if everyone could be as carefree as Fu Hua; of course, I mean the serious Fu Hua, not the mischievous child Senti.

No, even if she was downgraded one level. 

Although Mobius is a little arrogant, she doesn't need to worry about her, and the older she gets, the more considerate she becomes. 

That's fine too!

If all else fails, Bianka's childlike behavior is acceptable. 

After all, although Bianka is a bit impulsive, she has a practical and hardworking personality.

I'm afraid of Kevin when he was a child...

—Yes! Tian Shi is afraid of Kevin!

Does he have to worry about Mei? 

No. 

After all, with her personality, Tian Shi was afraid of causing her trouble.

But Kevin... Kevin, this guy is the male version of Kiana, okay?!

Kiana's personality, who has almost never experienced Honkai and beatings, is almost the same as Kevin's personality when he was a child.

While it is true that there are some differences in the development of men and women, it can be said that they are basically almost the same. 

Both matured quickly after experiencing the Honkai and beatings.

When Tian Shi thought of this, he felt a slight stomachache.

However, the system doesn't care if Tian Shi has a stomachache or not. 

The system panel appeared in front of Tian Shi.

[Please note that the simulation is about to begin!]

[Simulation location: Pre-civilization, Far East, Changkong City] 

[Hosts of this simulation: Mei and Kevin]

[Note: Make good use of the switching function in this simulation]
