Chapter 597

~8 min read 1,554 words

Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, Bai Ge turned around to see an elegant beauty with wine-red hair walking toward him.

He was instantly a bit pleasantly surprised.

He didn't expect to see Eden in the base today.

Ever since joining the Fire Moth, Eden had become busy. She heavily invested in the charity industry, saving countless people displaced by the Honkai. She didn't know how many schools, orphanages, welfare centers, and nursing homes she had built.

Occasionally, she would also go to places where public morale was wavering to hold concerts.

Therefore, although she was only an artist and a big star, in this catastrophe concerning the survival of the world, she played a role that made everyone admire her.

Not long ago, a famous critic once said: "Entertainment will eventually die. Next, in order to survive, people will inevitably abandon all unnecessary entertainment."

In fact, many stars of the previous civilization had retired one after another. Although the Fire Moth, under Bai Ge's leadership, was still successfully suppressing the Honkai and maintaining a great advantage.

But the world was not truly ignorant. Knowing what a terrifying disaster the Honkai was, they had no mood to support "little fresh meat" idols.

But Eden was different.

She symbolized the art of this era.

And art would not die.

Because art was the crystallization of human wisdom and history, it would advance along with human society, so as long as the era of humanity was not destroyed, art would not disappear.

Therefore, Eden would still be so dazzling, because she was the art of this era itself.

"Long time no see, my good Eden. I haven't heard you sing for me recently, my heart is tired."

Bai Ge opened his arms and hugged Eden affectionately.

"Hehe, you are exaggerating too much."

"No, I am serious. My ears can no longer leave Eden's singing voice; you could say I am completely obsessed."

"Hehe~ Thank you. But long time no see, Bai Ge, why are you starting to sound more and more like Elysia? Eh? There seems to be a strange fragrance on your body?"

Eden raised an eyebrow and sniffed.

Bai Ge was instantly startled in his heart, thinking, are women's noses all this sensitive?

"Ahem! So, Eden, what is the matter you are looking for me for?"

"Hm? Bai Ge, why do you look a bit nervous? Forget it, this time I came to invite you to perform with me one more time. I hope you won't refuse."

Eden said as she took a flyer out of her bosom.

That was a promotion for her concert. One week later, this superstar of the era would hold a long-awaited grand concert in the Sydney Super Dome in Australia.

"I am currently recruiting a pianist. Bai Ge, can I trouble you one more time? Just take it as a reward for my hard work during this period, okay?"

Eden requested like she was acting spoiled.

"Of course I can, it is my honor."

Bai Ge smiled and accepted the singer's invitation.

However, the next second, his gaze condensed. Looking at the concert flyer in his hand, he revealed a serious and earnest expression.

In the game of his past life, the Herrschers of the previous civilization rarely had clear records of their appearance times.

But the appearance of the Seventh Herrscher was very clear.

It was even determined who became the Herrscher.

Bai Ge couldn't help but clench the flyer in his hand. He knew that the Seventh Herrscher would descend on the day Eden held her concert! And the Herrscher host was Himeko!

She was the alternate-universe counterpart of Himeko from the previous civilization.

(This is an opportunity, a very good opportunity. It can allow me to test myself. Knowing the exact time and place of the Herrscher's descent, can I minimize the casualties? Uh, no, completely zero damage!)

Bai Ge only felt himself ignited. And even if it wasn't for these things, just for Eden, he had to handle the Seventh Herrscher perfectly!

Because he knew that the Seventh Honkai Eruption that occurred in the original plot was the turning point of Eden's fate.

The fire of the Herrscher of Flames burned away Eden's identity as a 'singer', making this star who should have been holding a microphone on stage step onto the battlefield and pick up dual pistols.

Even so, Eden was still incomparably dazzling.

But Bai Ge would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Eden, I will protect your stage well, I will protect your era well, I will let you continue to shine forever."

"Bai Ge, why did you suddenly say such things? I haven't prepared myself mentally yet."

"Emmm, although I feel you misunderstood, I agree to this co-performance. Send me the track list when the time comes, and we will have the most grand and wonderful concert of this century together."

Bai Ge said, rubbing his hands and eager to try. There would be a special audience at this concert—a Herrscher—he had to treat her well.

"Uh, okay..."

Eden blinked, looking at the high-spirited white-haired boy before her, always feeling that this posture wasn't like he was going to perform on stage with her, but rather like he was going to step onto a battlefield.

(Uh, wait, since I already know who it is in advance, then can I... it seems I can exploit a loophole!)

Suddenly, Bai Ge's eyes lit up as if he thought of something, and he hurriedly turned around to open the door of the psychological counseling room again.

"Aponia, there is a very important matter now that I need you to... uh, sorry, sorry, you continue, take your time changing."

"【Please】, do not look at me!"

The overly excited boy forgot to knock. As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the nun changing clothes.

Even though Aponia was a compassionate clergy member, and even though the two had just done "that" not long ago, she still flushed red, shyly covering herself while issuing a discipline.

And this scene was also seen by Eden.

"Uh, Aponia, why are you changing clothes in the counseling room in broad daylight?"

"... I am fine, Eden, just exercised a little bit just now and broke a sweat."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Eden's eye twitched slightly.

She wasn't some stupid tuna who could be easily fooled. Exercise? She believed it, but was that proper exercise?

She had seen Bai Ge just walk out of the counseling room before she went to talk to him. As a result, he had just come out, and Aponia, you started changing clothes in the psychological counseling room.

Plus you said you were exercising just now, then please tell me, with Bai Ge present, what exercise did you do to sweat so much that you needed to change clothes immediately?

"Eden, 【Please】..."

"Aponia, I do not allow it."

"... As you command, Bai Ge."

Aponia, who had just wanted to give Eden, who knew too much, a discipline, was immediately vetoed by Bai Ge.

Neither of them expected that the restriction they had just set not long ago would immediately welcome an opportunity to be used.

(Sigh, I almost did a bad thing again.)

Aponia repented and apologized to Eden in her heart.

Because the ability of discipline was simply too convenient. Ever since she obtained it, she instinctively wanted to rely on this ability for everything.

Aponia knew this was a bad habit, so she felt fortunate in her heart now.

(Ah ah, that's great. I handed the chains that bind myself to Bai Ge. This is truly an incomparably correct choice. As long as he is here, I don't have to worry about my discipline causing mistakes.)

"............"

Eden looked at the two of them speechlessly.

It seemed that while she was busy all over the world, her progress in capturing Bai Ge had fallen behind a lot. By the way, was she almost subjected to something bad just now?

Eden was already thinking about whether to go to Mobius for a super-variant surgery later.

She wasn't afraid that the snake wouldn't agree.

In the face of a rich woman's money power, the snake, whose budget was always cut, would never have any possibility of refusal.

One minute later, Aponia finished changing clothes.

"Bai Ge, may I ask what is the matter?"

"Mm, come with me quickly. I need you to cast a discipline on someone. Eden, I will talk to you in detail about the concert later. See you later!"

"Sigh, what a busy person."

Watching the back of the young man pulling the nun and leaving in a hurry, Eden also sighed helplessly.

Afterward, she looked around, and after confirming no one was there, she walked straight into the psychological counseling room and searched around very curiously.

Inside the captain-level dormitory of the Fire Moth.

"Is Himeko there? It's me, open the door."

"Coming, coming."

After Bai Ge knocked on the door for a while, a beautiful woman with fire-red hair and a proud figure opened the door. Afterward, Bai Mou saw at a glance the scattered beer bottles, half-eaten instant noodles, and black lace underwear thrown around in the room.

"No wonder you can't find a boyfriend at thirty."

"... None of your business!" ===== CHAPTER 598 =====
