Four Split Personalities

"Hehe, aren’t you quite happy right now."

Ji Xiaoge smilingly patted Motan on the back and made a playful face: "During our last gathering, you seemed a bit off. I thought you didn’t like them."

!?

Motan’s smile vanished instantly, and he asked in bewilderment: "Off? How was I off?"

"Eh? Well... even if you ask, I can’t really explain it."

Ji Xiaoge was initially taken aback, then pouted slightly with some frustration: "Overall, it was just off. Even though you seemed like your usual self, something felt weird. Thinking about it carefully, I can’t pinpoint it, just like... hmm..."

Motan discreetly wiped the sweat from his forehead and softly prompted: "Can you give an example?"

"An example, hmm, let me think."

The girl furrowed her brows, shaking her ankle-length waterfall-like black hair, and after a while, she suddenly clapped her hands: "Got it! Mor, you know I have a sister, right!"

Motan nodded, not only aware but very aware. Ji Xiaodao’s low-key demeanor and presence were completely opposite, leaving a strong impression.

"Then you should also know that my sister is extremely good to me, really likes me, and spoils me a lot, right?"

"I know... but isn’t it usually the older sister who spoils the younger sister?"

"I do spoil her too! I love holding Xiao Island while sleeping!"

"That’s not what I meant... uh, never mind, continue."

"So, logically, if she really likes me, she surely wants me to be happy, right?"

"Of course, that’s beyond doubt."

"Then you think a beautiful romance is definitely part of happiness, don’t you?"

"I guess... it is, right?"

"Of course it is! Otherwise, why would everyone call their partner their ’better half’?"

"You make a good point."

"So, that day, Mor, you gave me the feeling that my sister suddenly wanted me to find a close boyfriend, the kind who cares for me, likes me, and is good to me!"

Ji Xiaoge happily bounced, nodding emphatically: "Uh-huh! That’s exactly how it felt!"

[I actually understood it...]

Motan slightly twitched his mouth, awkwardly coughed, and then curiosity piqued, he asked: "Why do you say that?"

"Uh, because wanting the sister to be happy and finding a good man completely makes sense logically, so there’s no issue with that."

Ji Xiaoge wrinkled her nose, showing a tender smile: "But I feel like my sister wouldn’t say something like that. Ah... I’m not saying you did anything abnormal that day, just a slight... uh, barely noticeable... sense of dissonance?"

Motan: "..."

[So Xiaoge isn’t that easy to fool, huh?]

Holding this suspicion, he naturally steered the conversation back to buying drinks, quickening their pace toward the brightly lit South City Gate along with the girl.

Incidentally, after they returned with the drinks, they realized the special juice they waited in line to buy was no longer popular. Including Wang Badan, everyone had at least two uniquely shaped beverages in front of them, and the table was piled with empty bottles in the center.

According to Jadka, these were local products sent by Scarlett Disel’s friend from Academy City a couple of days ago. The taste was quite good with a variety of flavors, named ’Soda,’ essentially ’soda’ because it’s fizzy.

As a player, Ji Xiaoge was astonished and exchanged a surprised look with Kordo who had already begun drinking his third bottle. Immediately, she grabbed a bottle of sweet lemon flavor, popped the cap, and started drinking.

Then, tears of joy flowed...

Carbonated drink!

Undoubtedly a carbonated drink!

With carbonated drinks available, who would ever consider touching those bothersome special juices!

Cheers! For carbonated drinks!

The initially downcast winged beauty directly joined everyone in enthusiastically drinking.

Motan had no option but to chat about the incredibility of soda with the astonished Kordo and Ji Xiaoge in the message panel, while glancing at Scarlett Disel smiling radiantly, embraced by everyone, secretly lamenting how unreliable this Plum Blossom Seven card was.

The next day

Game Time AM07:29

Academy City Central District, [Danu Military Academy], at the edge of the player preparation area

"Shou... Should have arrived by now..."

Unusually letting her signature braids down into loose hair, wearing oversized sunglasses and sporting [Danu Military Academy]’s youthful women’s student uniform (beige jacket + black pullover + knee-length skirt + long boots), Theresa Tarosa holding a copy of "A Thousand and One Wars," skulked around the not-too-busy periphery.

The first round of the official match begins at eight-thirty in the morning, and it’s currently almost seven-thirty. Not many arrived an hour early, and those active in the player’s area are mostly staff.

However, reliable sources indicate that the Holy Church Union’s delegation set off a quarter-hour ago, meaning they’ve likely arrived by now!
