Book 6: Chapter 16:2: Chen Hengâs Girlfriend, Part 2
Luo Liâs strength was an enigma that baffled Chen Heng. Not only did she possess the Primal Chaos Bell, a gift from the Chen Clan ancestor, but her very own power was truly unfathomable.
Luo Li was a determined person who could detonate her time crystal to reset the worldâs time. Although her strength was significantly reduced because of the explosion of the time crystal, Luo Li would likely recover rather quickly with the assistance of the Primal Chaos Bell and System 2333.
System 2333 might usually look useless, but it was, after all, a highly ranked system. No one would believe Luo Li when she called it a trash or idle system.
With Luo Li at his side, Chen Heng felt completely at ease. Depleting Will Energy wasnât a concern when he had Luo Li to protect him.
Without exaggeration, even if Chen Heng had only 50 percent of his Will Energy, he could still execute Moonfall a few timesâprovided there were enough moons, of course.
Chen Heng knew that forming Will Energy swords during the Holy Grail War might be difficult, as he had to fight at night.
Everyone knew the Holy Grail War was fought at night, and they had to minimize the commotion, preventing ordinary people from learning about it.
Doctor Roman and the Queen of Sheba had sensed a strange atmosphere in the living room, so they retreated to their room early. What were they doing? Who knew?
What else could they be doing?
Tohsaka Rin had taken Sakura to her room for a private talk, not wanting her younger sister to mingle with Chen Heng, whom she considered despicable and shameless. Even if he had given her a Master slot for the Holy Grail War, it wasnât acceptable.
âElder Brother Heng, itâs time to go to our room. Letâs go.â
ââ¦â Chen Heng obediently followed Luo Li to the room Tohsaka Aoi had arranged for them.
Just before closing the door, Chen Heng instinctively glanced at Sirin, only to see her biting her lip in an expression filled with resentment.
Jeanne dâArc seemed alright, but she was staring intently at Chen Heng, still much more restrained than Sirin.
Sirin looked at Chen Heng as if she were watching her wife enter a room with another man, metaphorically speaking.
Back in his room, Chen Heng didnât go to bed but sat at the desk.
He Who Knows Fate: Sirin, whatâs with that expression? Why so resentful?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Elder Brother, do you know what itâs like to watch your wife go into another manâs room?
Efreet: NTR? What an exciting plot!
[TL Note: NTR is short for netorare, a Japanese term for cheating, being unfaithful, or cuckolding.]
Iron Fist Teacher: Youâre so young! You know about NTR already? Of all the things to learn!
Lord of the White Night: Donât underestimate Itsuka Kotori. She calls herself a love consultant.
Faillen Angel Gabriel: How disrespectful of us! Indeed, sending your beloved elder sister to create a harem is no ordinary feat.
Efreet: â¦
He Who Knows Fate: Sirin, I put up with you reading brocon erotica, but why are you also reading NTR erotica? What do you normally read?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Donât change the subject! Elder Brother, why didnât you refuse?
He Who Knows Fate: Why should I refuse?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: â¦Elder Brother, donât tell me you really want Luo Li to be your girlfriend?
He Who Knows Fate: Why would you think that?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: You went into a room together. Why wouldnât I think that?
Lord of the White Night: Oh, is it a fierce competition between childhood friends and newcomers?
Faillen Angel Gabriel: Actually, both Luo Li and Sirin are newcomers. Mo Qingtong is the childhood friend, doomed to lose.
Blank Never Loses: This time, itâs a victory for the siscons. Both Sirin and Luo Li are younger sisters. Younger sisters are the best.
He Who Knows Fate: Why do you people always turn serious topics into nonsense?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Maybe itâs a talent of this Dimension Administrators Association.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Elder Brother, answer my question.
He Who Knows Fate: Sirin, your head must be overheated. If thereâs anyone to blame, it should be Root Shiki.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Huh? What does it have to do with me?
He Who Knows Fate: You tell me. Didnât you set Luo Li as my girlfriend?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: I just randomly set it up. I didnât ask you to take it seriously.
He Who Knows Fate: Youâre waiting for the drama, arenât you?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: How could I? Iâm a world consciousness, and no matter how bored I am, I wonât gossipâ¦unless you canât resist.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Thatâs right, Elder Brother. You must be harboring errant thoughts about Luo Li.
He Who Knows Fate: Enough, enough. Sirin, you donât have to worry about anything inappropriate happening. Weâll be busy with the Holy Grail War at night, you know. Itâs common knowledge.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: You have a point there.
Solomon: But the Holy Grail War officially starts tomorrow, right? What are you going to do tonight?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: â¦
He Who Knows Fate: Tonight, I plan to take care of those four reincarnators. They may not be a major threat, but they are a nuisance. Furthermore, they are vile.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Elder Brother, I want to go too.
He Who Knows Fate: Have you finished the Fate anime series?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: No, not yetâ¦
He Who Knows Fate: Then have you undergone your ability second awakening?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: No, not yet. But didnât Elder Brother say weâd do that after returning to our original world? That way, my power system can align more with your world.
He Who Knows Fate: Thatâs why I worry about your safety. If you got even a little hurt, it would break my heart.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Hehe.
He Who Knows Fate: Okay, stop snickering. If you have time, watch more of the anime series involving the Holy Grail War or get some sleep. Donât stay up late. Iâll take care of the reincarnators.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Understood, Elder Brother. Iâll catch up on the anime, then. Be careful when you fight the reincarnators. Iâll wait for you to come back.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, alright. Donât worry.
Queen of Ice and Snow: If I didnât know Chen Heng well, I would certainly think he was a seasoned playboy. He seems to have handled Sirin with just a few words.
