Mecha Start, Nuclear Bomb Tokyo

"Really? I thought you were a little embarrassed and a little moved, but a little embarrassed to express your moving emotions."

"Uh--"

Foreword retracted.

As expected, An Yi was still the familiar atmosphere killer.

But anyway...

"Welcome back."

Nephrien said what she had always wanted to say.

She stared at An Yi with gray eyes.

All the thousand words poured out with this one sentence.

No one can understand how much obsession Nephlian has condensed in the phrase 'Welcome back'.

It was about the existence of Nephren... five years of longing for An Yi.

The meaning of this sentence is enough to include the meanings of 'I like you', 'I miss you so much'...

Seemingly sensing Nephren's mood, An Yi looked at her, then nodded: "Yes."

Yes.

Although only temporarily.

But he came back.

......

"Sure enough, I still need to care about Nephren."

Atheya finished the black tea in the cup in one breath, then looked up at Cordoli and Niglan: "What do you think?"

"I also think... keeping Nephren bored in the lab is not a problem."

Nigolan quickly expressed her attitude.

The main thing is that she doesn't want to see Nephren's sullen look anymore.

After all, for her, the Golden Fairy is like her daughter.

Looking at her daughter's lifeless appearance all day long...she can't be happy at all.

"But the question is...how should I care about Nephren?"

Cordori couldn't help asking questions.

At this moment, Niglan and Atheya were stopped.

That's right...Even if you want to care about Nephren...you have to start somewhere.

In the end, Etheya, who was full of vitality, took the initiative to jump out and liven up the atmosphere: "I think Nephren should know that even if An Yi is not around, she can still live happily."

"Even if An Yi is not around, can Nephren live happily?"

Nigland and Cordoli repeated Etheya's words, and then looked at each other in blank dismay: "So what should we do?"

Atheya, isn't this talking nonsense?

They also want to make Nephren happy.

But... how?

"Ahem..." Etheya coughed, "This...actually, I didn't think about it...but...that's right!"

She patted the table like she was in a hurry: "Don't Nefflian like desserts? Can we ask William to make some desserts for her to eat?"

"...This...?"

Cordoli and Nigolan looked at each other: "Can this be useful?"

It was clear to both of them that the idea didn't work.

But Etheya insisted: "It must be useful! Isn't there a saying that is very good? If you grasp a woman's stomach, you can grasp a woman's heart!"

When she said this, she was plausible, so righteous.

"...Is that the original sentence...? And the meaning is different, right?"

Because Atheya is too straightforward, Cordoli is also a little confused.

"It can't be wrong! Didn't you, Cordoli, do the same at the beginning? I hope William will make you a butter cake to eat! After eating it, I will cry so much!"

Atheya even onomatopoeically reproduced the cry of Cordoli at that time.

This made Ke Duoli a little overwhelmed, and she blushed: "I didn't!"

But although Cordoli refused to admit it, she was indeed moved by William's thoughtful behavior at the time.

But that belongs to the relationship between men and women.

She and William are husband and wife now.

Could it be that she watched William cheating on Nephren?

How is that possible!

"I think what Etheya said is quite correct..." the oldest ogre, Nigolan, said.

"It is true that good food can soothe a wounded heart."

"...If you want to put it that way..." This explanation convinced Cordoli even more.

Atheya next to her also followed suit: "Yes. That's what I thought. Oh, as expected of Niglan, she said what I thought right away."

"..." Nigland and Cordoli.

The two of them couldn't help but look at each other: "Okay!"

Since An Yi hasn't come back yet.

Then they will strive to create a world where Nephren can be happy even if An Yi can't come back!

Several people hit it off.

Etheya will go back to the Floating Continent to purchase raw materials for making desserts.

Cordoli and Nigolan went to ask William and assist him in the production.

In this way, they were busy all afternoon——

"it is finally over."

Looking at the gorgeously decorated cake in front of him, even William couldn't help wiping his sweat: "This is my proudest creation."

Regardless of the sweetness or the softness of the cake, William has done his best.

"In other words, with this, maybe you can see Nephren smile, right?"

Atheya looked at the cake with an excited expression.

"No... that... I didn't say that." William waved his hand speechlessly.

All he makes is cake, and there is no magic that makes people 'smile'.

But now that the cake is ready—

"Go and bring it to Lian."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

They made up their minds.

Be sure to create a world where Nephren can be happy without ease.

Then--

"Hey...?"

William and others standing outside the laboratory were stunned.

the reason is simple.

Because they saw... that expressionless man standing in the lab.

"comfortable?!"

Atheya, who came up with a bad idea, was the first to make a surprised sound.

Afterwards, a group of people crowded into the research room curiously.

How comfortable...?

He is back?

......

"In other words, your time in this world is limited, and you will leave this world soon...right?"

Ke Duoli listened to An Yi's explanation, and at the same time glanced at Nephren, who was sitting on An Yi's lap, drinking tea with a blank expression.

"En." An Yi confirmed his thoughts.

"...Do you know it's selfish of you to do this? Have you considered how it feels to wait for you for five years for Nephrien? Are you asking her to wait for another five years?"

Cordoli frowned, his tone was very kind, but his words did not mean to relax at all.

That's right.

An Yi can walk away.

But instead, Nephren continued to wait.

Although I respect An Yi very much, I still need to ask about this matter clearly.

"Actually, she doesn't have to wait another five years." An Yi took the initiative to explain.

He was able to readjust the timeline rate of this world to be the same as the main world.

This way, Nephren doesn't have to wait any longer...

"But..." Cordoli obviously wanted to say something more.

But soon, An Yi raised his hand and said: "Before then, I have other things to deal with for you and William."
