Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

“No more? I don’t believe you.”

“There’s really none. You can search me if you don’t believe me; I have nothing on me,” Chen Heng said as he took out a cup of fruit juice, handed it to Sirin, then spread his arms out in a gesture of invitation.

“…” What would you have on you? You clearly store your things in a strange space. It would be strange if I found anything on you.

“Mister Chen Heng, I really want to drink bitter gourd juice!” Theresa rubbed her chin in deep thought for a while before deciding to use her advantage in age—or rather, cuteness. After all, Theresa was the cutest in the world; no one could resist her charm.

“No.”

“…”

“Shorty, you are not to seduce my elder brother.” This time, Theresa’s attempt at acting cute failed to achieve the desired effect. Not only did Chen Heng mercilessly reject her request, but she even made Sirin take her seriously—or rather, view her with enmity.

Based on Sirin’s understanding of her elder brother, he was one of those damn lolicons, the hopeless type. Otherwise, he would not like her or Luo Li, or at least so she thought.

Since that was the case, this legal loli before her was extremely dangerous.

“Se…seduce? What do you mean, seduce? You make it sound very harsh. Theresa is the cutest in the world. What’s wrong with wanting a cup of bitter gourd juice?” Theresa’s face reddened with anger due to Sirin’s straightforward comment.

If not for the bitter gourd juice tasting strangely good, she would have already taught Sirin a lesson.

Of course, Theresa had completely forgotten who had lost in their fair one-on-one match.

“You are the cutest in the world? Should I bring a mirror over for you to use?” Sirin glanced at Theresa with disdain.

Sirin acknowledged the shorty was a little cute. However, the shorty was far from comparable to her.

“Alright, alright. Stop arguing. I’ll give you some. Here, your bitter gourd juice. I’ll warn you first; this bitter gourd juice is not as nice as the one before. The one from before is a limited version. What we have here is ordinary bitter gourd juice. After you are done drinking, go to the side and play by yourself. Also, Sirin, your most important job now is to absorb Honkai Energy. Why are you arguing with her?”

Chen Heng casually took out a cup of extremely ordinary bitter gourd juice and handed it to Theresa, who cockily received the bitter gourd juice and waved it at Sirin.

“…” Sirin was visibly frustrated, her chest heaving rapidly, but she comforted herself inwardly that this shorty could not grow taller. Nonetheless, she could not hold back in the end. She grabbed Chen Heng’s arm, pulled out a finger, and bit it.

“…Sirin, didn’t you already bite me before? Don’t you know you’ll get hurt? Be good; open your mouth and let me see. Are your teeth fine?” Chen Heng sat up and moved over to Sirin to get her to open her mouth.

“Igh am fthine.” (I am fine.) Sirin turned her head away, not letting Chen Heng see.

“Alright, alright. Next time, remember your elder brother’s physical body is very tough. If you want to bite me, choose somewhere softer.”

“Elder Brother, I want a fugu feast, one that you make. There should only be two portions, no more.” For some reason, Sirin suddenly wanted to have a fugu feast, confusing Chen Heng.

“We are in a laboratory now. How are we going to have a fugu feast? Let’s have it when we return home, alright?” A fugu feast was easy; the difficult part was that Sirin wanted Chen Heng to make it.

“No! I want it now.”

What else could Chen Heng do? He could only make it.

He sought out a random Valkyrie and asked her to bring him to the kitchen.

Why not ask Theresa? Chen Heng did not think she would know where the kitchen was in this laboratory. He even felt she would get lost in this laboratory.

Although this was a laboratory, it should not lack the necessary equipment. The kitchen looked quite new, likely not often used. Most of the researchers here were probably introverted males focused on research, so they could not be expected to be skilled in the culinary arts.

“Eat up, then.”

After Chen Heng started the fugu feast with Sirin, he finally understood why Sirin wanted him to cook a fugu feast.

Although Chen Heng could not help pitying Theresa a little when he saw the longing in her eyes, he could only let her suffer a bit to make his younger sister happy.

“It is very fragrant! Truly delicious!” Sirin evaluated the taste of the fugu feast as she sampled it.

Theresa looked at the fugu feast before her, then at the energy bar Schicksal specially made for her in her hands. Then she cried…. Just joking. Although Theresa felt disappointed, she was a strong person and would not cry over it.

As Theresa chewed on the bitter-gourd-favored energy bar her grandfather ordered for her, she glared at Sirin intensely. Chen Heng felt she was treating the energy bar as Sirin, chewing hard and vigorously. Then…she bit her tongue. This time, Theresa nearly cried. However, she endured after glancing at Sirin.

After Chen Heng finished his portion of the fugu feast, he stopped bothering with the relationship between the two girls. Children would be children, and the adults should not interfere. Just look, Siegfried did not come over, either. However, these two children were rather powerful. Hopefully, they could restrain themselves.

Iron Fist Teacher: Did you know? I actually became Sage Megumi’s teacher.

I Have a Strong Presence: Yes, yes. Yes, Sensei! Sensei! You have become my teacher, but there’s no need to announce it grandly like that, right?

Iron Fist Teacher: No, no. This feels very interesting, and that’s not considered a grand announcement.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: What happened? Did your worlds merge?

Iron Fist Teacher: Indeed, indeed. Furthermore, the crucial point is we ended up in the same school.

Queen of Ice and Snow: I feel this is quite normal. After all, your animes are both of the school romance genre.

Iron Fist Teacher: Ah! School romance. Speaking of which, I forced Hikigaya Hachiman to join the Service Club just before I joined the group. I never expected this fellow to have the potential for a harem.

[TL Note: Hikigaya Hachiman is the main character of the Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru anime and light novels, which Iron Fist Teacher is from. The Service Club, also known as the Volunteers Club, is a group of volunteer students helping their peers overcome problems. Iron Fist Teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, is the club advisor. She forced Hikigaya Hachiman into the Service Club to fix his rotten nature. Here is more about Hikigaya Hachiman and the Service Club: https://oregairu.fandom.com/wiki/Hachiman_Hikigaya and https://oregairu.fandom.com/wiki/Service_Club.]

Magus of Flowers: He is the Great Teacher, after all, a clean sweep!

[TL Note: Great Teacher is a fan-given nickname for Hikigaya Hachiman in Chinese because he often says deeply philosophical things. It is not an official nickname in the story.]
