Chapter 89 Virvi's Wonderful Feast
……
"Self-service fireworks machine, colorful purified water, lively little cakes, joyful barrel spirit, earth-shattering weather cannon, nitrous oxide dry ice..."
"Hmm~ Setup complete. Now let's find a tough-skinned guy to test it out!"
Vilvi looked around, ready to randomly pick an unlucky guy to test her amazing device, when she suddenly spotted Möbius storming into the banquet. Her heart skipped a beat.
"This is bad, this is bad, I'd better make a run for it!"
Anyway, if the props malfunction, the one who takes the blame is Mebius, not her, Velvet.
Vilvi slipped away without disturbing anyone, but when she arrived at her safe hideout and checked the camera, she realized she had left too early; Möbius hadn't come to cause her any trouble!
At that moment, Möbius threw a large stack of documents in front of Mei, seemingly arguing about the logical deductions of some data. However, while others might at most argue heatedly in public, Möbius seemed to have a sense of impending violence, and he was completely disregarding the occasion.
The argument attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet, but few were willing to approach and mediate. Yun Fuyu and Xi'er were also secretly observing from the shadows, and couldn't help but marvel at the doctor's "madness."
But that's none of my business.
Yun Fuyu snatched the wine glass from Xi'er's hand and said righteously, "Xi'er is still young and is not allowed to drink!"
Seele, who had been itching to try a sip of champagne, suddenly wilted and started chewing on her dessert spoon, seemingly venting a small grudge against someone.
Yun Fuyu casually handed her a small cake, hoping to shut her up. But when Xi'er stuck the spoon into the cake, the cake... grew legs, and then howled and ran away... ran away...
The cream stains were all over the floor, as if some pervert had been hollowed out.
Seele's scream was delayed by a few seconds—this time she was genuinely terrified. Imagine the fried chicken leg you were about to put in your mouth suddenly sprouted tentacles and wriggled away. What would you think?
The girl's terrified voice interrupted the argument between May and Möbius in the distance. Vivi, who was spying through the camera, couldn't help but burst into laughter, but the next second she fell into quiet contemplation—wouldn't she be beaten to death?
The scream seemed to trigger a switch, and all the tampered cakes, wine glasses, candlesticks, beverage containers... grew hands and feet, struggling on the table, the ground, or in someone's hands, running towards the center of the venue, plunging the entire banquet into chaos!
Mei paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to Möbius. The implication was: "You were in charge of arranging this prop, weren't you? Are you possessed by Velvi?"
Mebius also crashed. She really hates trouble, but why is she having such bad luck lately, with trouble everywhere... and all of it is trouble she brought on herself!
Damn you, Vilvie, what did you do?!
A large number of small "animals" with arms and legs ran to the center of the field. Accompanied by the sound of mechanical grinding, a light red smoke suddenly began to spread along the ground. Anyone with a modicum of sense immediately held their breath, afraid of inhaling it. Some fearless individuals even squatted down and took a breath, wanting to know what it was.
Then... a strange, loud laugh suddenly broke out in the room, and as if it were contagious, one, two, three... the eerie atmosphere continued to spread.
Mebius roared, "Vervie! I, Mu, use your *unintelligible kinship terms*!!!"
Mei quickly calmed down, instructed the people around her to turn on the ventilation fan, and then explained loudly, "Don't panic, this should be nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. It's impossible for Velvet to have prepared too much without my knowledge. The concentration of laughing gas here is not high. Only people with low thresholds will be unable to help but laugh out loud."
(Note: Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is colorless. Nitrogen dioxide is reddish-brown. The laughing gas prepared here by Velvet contains impurities, hence it is "nitrous oxide red dry ice," which is scientifically accurate.)
Yun Fuyu and Xier also held their breath. Anyway, their physical fitness was extraordinary, so holding their breath for three to five minutes was no big deal for them.
But just then, the little "animals" gathered in the center of the venue seemed to have assembled something incredible. While everyone's attention was focused on avoiding the colored gas, the ceiling opened automatically, and a beam of light and a thunderous roar shot straight into the sky!
The Earth-shattering Weather Cannon... literally, the sound of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, plus a cannon that changes the weather. Infinite light suddenly burst forth in the sky, turning the night as bright as day, as if angels draped in radiance had descended upon the world.
Many people were so stunned by this ultimate aesthetic of light that they forgot to hold their breath and then burst into laughter...
However, just a few seconds later, the light was swallowed up by pure blackness, leaving no trace.
Seele's pupils suddenly contracted, as if she were exhausting all her mental energy to observe the anomaly in the sky.
Ripples spread through the space, and the curtain of the starry night swayed, but ultimately remained unshaken.
Seele silently withdrew her gaze and did not tell anyone about it.
Under Mei's direction, the noise in the venue gradually subsided, and the light red smoke was quickly cleared away. Looking back, it was actually quite amusing; after all, no one was injured, and many people laughed heartily... haha (emotionless).
But Mei had already decided how to punish Velvi!
The argument between Möbius and May ended inconclusively, and this incident also drained their energy for further debate. Moreover, the props for the event were forcibly assigned to Möbius by May, who then outsourced them to Velvet. So who should take the blame...? Perhaps it really was Velvet's fault after all?
……
They'd had their fill of the banquet and enjoyed some entertainment. Although there was supposed to be a social dance afterwards, Yun Fuyu and Xi'er weren't really interested—firstly, they couldn't dance, and secondly, there wasn't much to talk about with others.
Yun Fuyu saw Kosmo and Desdobia together, much like herself and Seele, eating and drinking everywhere, occasionally chatting with others.
He also saw Hen holding Gretchen, grinning as he held the wine glass to Gretchen's lips, before being grabbed by the ear and scolded by Blanca, who was following behind.
He also saw the inner circle of Hua's fifth squad; Hua was quite popular among his teammates. If he had to describe it, Hua was the team's "husband," and Xi'er was the team's "girlfriend"... but now Xi'er was by his side! Hmph!
Himeko acted as both an older sister and a mother, sometimes telling risqué jokes between girls, sometimes speaking seriously with a stern face. When her gaze happened to fall on Yun Fuyu and Xier, she shuddered, smiled at the woman who looked so much like Himeko, and pulled Xier away, disappearing from her sight.
...It seems like there's nothing new or exciting left.
It's time to leave.
Before leaving, Yun Fuyu suddenly noticed a large pile of chocolates scattered on the table; they were the kind of small chocolates sold wholesale in supermarkets.
He paused briefly, then casually picked up a few pieces and put them in his pocket. Seele noticed his action, seemed to remember something, and took a few pieces like him.
I tore open the chocolate wrapper and placed it beneath my pearly white teeth. Taking a gentle bite, the rich flavor immediately danced on my tongue.
The girl's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.
This taste...
