"I am only a Guardian Angel, not an Earth God."
Tian Shi complained as he followed Himeko, who was rushing out in a hurry.
"Besides, at your age, do you still believe in aliens?"
"Ghosts exist, but you don't allow me to believe in aliens?"
Himeko gave a reason that Tian Shi couldn't refute: in fact, there are aliens in this world.
"Take it as a trip, why are you taking longer than me?"
"I'm not wasting time... and instead of talking to me, you should pay attention to the road while running."
"What?"
Himeko looked forward belatedly, and sure enough, a very familiar person appeared in front of her.
"Sorry, sorry! Excuse me!"
It was Welt Yang, who had recently been announced to be laid off, but at that moment Himeko no longer had time to deal with him.
Fortunately, Tian Shi's reminder arrived in time, and Himeko ran past Welt safely.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Tian Shi asked, puzzled.
"At least go back to the dorm and put your things away."
"No time! Because I suddenly remembered that there is only one flight to New Mexico today! If I don't hurry, it might be too late!"
"You really do... Alright, run, girl~"
"Don't be sarcastic! Is my Guardian Angel useless? I mean, could you give me something that instantly teleports me to New Mexico?"
"I'm a Guardian Angel, not Doraemon."
Tian Shi floated calmly next to Himeko.
Even if he didn't catch up, the teleportation would soon be activated.
"I'm starting to think less and less of you... Taxi!"
After finally rushing out the school gate, Himeko hurried to the road and hailed a cab.
"California Airport, please hurry!"
Taking a taxi and a plane, Himeko really spent a lot of money on aliens.
"Miss, if you want to buy a plane ticket, please be sure to show your valid ID."
The ticket seller told Himeko politely.
"Please wait..." Himeko searched her purse and pockets with difficulty.
"Wait, where is my student ID? I remember I was carrying it."
Himeko rushed out as soon as the class ended and did not bring her visa.
Her only ID was her Caltech student ID.
But now she doesn't know where her student ID is.
"Ahem, are you looking for this, Murata Himeko-san?"
Welt Yang, who was almost hit earlier, suddenly appeared behind Himeko.
"You dropped your student ID when you rushed out, it took me a little effort to get here."
"Um... thank you, Mr. Welt."
Himeko looked at Welt in front of her with a strange expression.
After all, if Tian Shi hadn't said it, who could believe that Welt Yang, in front of her, was almost sixty years old?
This causes Himeko to now feel that everything she looks at about the other person is strange.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Welt asked naturally, showing off his professional ethics as a substitute teacher.
"I had to go to New Mexico for something, so I was a little rushed,"
Himeko replied as she handed her student ID to the vendor to buy the ticket.
"New Mexico? What are you doing there?"
This place was really the worst answer he could imagine.
"Yesterday there was news that..."
"Let me explain it to him."
Tian Shi sighed, hooked his arm around Welt's neck, and pulled him aside.
"What, what is that?" Welt felt a little nervous as he felt the force around his neck.
He is not the Herrscher from the original world line.
The current Welt is actually a mediocre and ordinary scholar.
"I am your father,"
Tian Shi switched to the public channel and said sadly.
Why is this guy reacting so slowly?
"Ah? Huh?" Welt was startled upon hearing the familiar voice.
"Brother Leader, you're back?"
"I'm back for now... What are you thinking about?"
Tian Shi suddenly noticed that Welt's expression suddenly looked a little sly.
"Um... are you serious about what you just said?"
"What? That phrase?"
"It's just that 'I am your father'... do you want to be my godfather too?"
Bang--!
When Tian Shi heard this, he immediately gave Welt a big slap on the back of the head in anger.
What the hell are you thinking?
"You've read too much Romance of the Three Kingdoms, are you planning to change your name to Lu Bu? You've become very arrogant these past few years, do you really think you're a coveted object?"
"You're already fifty years old and you're so surprised that you can say that!"
"No, nothing like that. I just thought that if you became my godfather, I could ask Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla for money, couldn't I?"
Welt looked a little embarrassed.
"Are you still controlled by others for your money?"
Tian Shi also realized that something was wrong at that moment.
"After all, it is Aunt Nancy who keeps the accounts..."
The word "Aunt" was enough to show Welt's complaint: if Welt dared to call her that in front of Edison, he would definitely be beaten.
"No, I think Nancy pays the salary, right?"
"Ah... Although the salary is quite high, it is a bit difficult to maintain my hobbies..."
"My suggestion is to buy two less."
Tian Shi suddenly remembered something.
"No need to buy three."
What Tian Shi remembered was that RYsuke Murata bought three of anything.
At that time, Raiden said that he and Welt... and maybe even Joyce had this habit.
For use, collection, and preaching.
One thing, three times the cost, and they like to buy the collector's edition, isn't it natural that you don't have enough money?
"You are truly worthy of being the leader, you guessed the problem on the first try..."
Welt felt a little embarrassed.
"But it was just a joke, after all, I'm still an assistant professor at the university, I'm just working a second job, like Dr. Tesla."
Welt quickly turned his attention to the topic.
"By the way, are you going to New Mexico with Himeko?" Welt was a little embarrassed.
"How to say it?... Aliens and things like that, it's okay for others to look for them, but Himeko... it's not because of her, it's more because of her father, RYsuke Murata. Of course, things shouldn't have ended this way."
"So you stop her?"
Tian Shi, too lazy to continue Welt's long speech, simply pointed to Himeko, who had bought the ticket and wanted to sneak closer to listen.
This made Himeko pretend that nothing had happened and quietly looked away.
"..."
Welt remained silent.
If you really try to stop her, she will surely realize that something is wrong.
Besides, it is inevitable that young people get angry and refuse to listen to advice.
"Then, my advice is that you quickly clean up the mess instead of trying to stop Himeko; by the way, I told her it was an anime poster for the Arahato mecha."
"Brother Leader of Anti-Entropy, you are too reliable."
Welt had to admit that Tian Shi was really reliable.
The answers were sent to him.
"Then I'll go, I'll let Raiden handle the New Mexico situation."
"It turns out that Raiden, the guy obsessed with his daughter, is also here... that's really rare."
"Speaking of which..."
"Hmm? Anything else, Welt?"
"Um..." Welt hesitated.
"Mmm... I support Dr. Tesla!"
"You really deserve a beating, don't you?"
Tian Shi's face darkened as he understood what Welt meant.
"And don't talk nonsense about my return, although I can stay here for a while, it won't be long... although there are other reasons."
"I think it's really impossible for that guy to join us, although this could cause RYsuke Murata's attitude to change direction."
After all, this has a sense of "threat."
"Let's take it step by step."
"You are the boss, you have the last word."
...
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
"This should be it, right?"
Himeko looked around as she tried to identify the blurry photos on her phone.
"But here..."
"Is that all?"
Welt pretended to be indifferent and looked at the "Magic Armor Arahato" poster on the building.
"Movie poster?"
"Ah, the movie that premieres in two months, the film version of 'Magic Armor Arahato'. The theaters should have already put up the posters."
"What the hell is this!?"
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago?"
Tian Shi yawned.
"That thing is obviously Arahato, if you have time to make a model, I can take a photo exactly like the one on your phone in a matter of minutes."
"..."
Himeko silently raised her phone, as if looking at it that way would allow her to see it more clearly.
"So, the plane ticket and the taxi were all for nothing, right?"
Himeko said very frustratedly.
"Next time I do something like this, please help me! Can't the Guardian Angel bless me with abundant riches?"
"Am I some god of wealth?"
Tian Shi couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"But since we are here, why don't you treat me, Welt?"
"..."
I didn't hit you, but you hit me, right?
What's wrong with the leader? Can he do whatever he wants?
Welt looked at the air in front of him and then... surrendered to power.
Well, the leader can do whatever he wants.
"I know a good restaurant here, let's go."
...
"Ha... I feel like I lost a lot today..."
Himeko sighed in the hotel.
"At least you got a free meal, so stop complaining,"
Tian Shi looked at Himeko.
"How about we do something serious?"
"What serious matter? I'll tell you beforehand: I don't feel like studying right now."
"..."
Tian Shi curled the corners of his lips and was speechless.
There really isn't much entertainment available these days.
But, of course, Tian Shi didn't want to get involved at all in the current situation.
Bluntly speaking, the problem during that period was just a scout star.
It wasn't a minor matter, but if we look at it in perspective... it was just that.
If Joyce and a group of renowned scientists had been there to help her and hadn't been able to solve it, their lives would have been in vain.
"I thought you had some free time... how about you try to find a ball of yarn and knit a sweater?"
"This is the first time someone has asked me to do something like that."
"Do you think I look like someone who knows how to knit?"
"You can learn if you don't know." Himeko sat on the bed.
"You are useless anyway."
"Just because you are not the Earth God, Doraemon, or the God of Wealth, does that mean you are useless? You are a real greedy person in every way, Himeko."
Tian Shi retorted.
"Then, aren't you ashamed to be a supernatural creature?" Himeko was so bored that she rolled around on the bed.
"Please do something."
"Sorry, there's none of that."
"You can think about it for a while before rejecting it."
"Hehe."
"How boring." Himeko continued rolling on the bed.
"Aren't you bored?"
"I think it's quite fun to watch you rolling on the bed, or rather, tell me what you want to do."
"Mmm... how about you tell me some interesting stories? Such an ancient person as you should have many stories to tell, right?"
"A story? Well, once upon a time there was a temple, and in the temple..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Do you really think I haven't heard this story before? Isn't there something more interesting and vivid, preferably with aliens?"
"You really won't settle for anything, Himeko."
Tian Shi was a little unhappy.
"But in that case... well, how about I tell you the story of a race called the Hugues? I only know the general idea, but it's still worth listening to, isn't it?"
That said, Himeko really can't stay completely out of what has happened during this period.
"Of course I would like to hear... but since you said that, does that mean there really are aliens in the world?"
Himeko's face showed a sly look that was unique to young girls: seven parts slyness and three parts coquetry.
It makes people unable to get angry.
Himeko from this era is really pleasant now.
"Guess."
Tian Shi looked at Himeko.
"Then I'll start..."
...
"Sister Nancy, your Arahato hasn't been exposed, has it?"
"No."
In the lab, Nancy calmly processed the documents.
"I heard you asked RYsuke to help you trick your students, how is it? Did she give up?"
"She gave up, but... uh... by the way, why can't I reach Sister Tesla by phone?"
"Does she support Tesla, Aunt Nancy? I don't know her well enough; of course, for the salary, I have to be nice in person."
"Her? The person whose memory was erased by the amnesiac she invented is still in a coma, trembling and muttering in her sleep. She keeps insisting that 'this is normal use' and even wants to punch me."
"And then what?"
"I have her connected to Arahato."
Edison's tone was as calm as if she were talking about dinner.
"Do you need anything else? Or do you need a memory eraser for your student?"
"No, forget it."
"Is it too late to desert and support Sister Nancy now?"
Welt hung up the phone silently.
"I always feel that Sister Tesla is too useless... Maybe she's useless even if I let her escape."
"If I let Sister Nancy escape... Sister Nancy might deal directly with Brother Tian Shi and then give me a big bonus or something..."
"It just so happens that I recently saw a new model..."
"No, no matter what, I still consider Tesla my own sister, how can I do such a thing...? Or should I sell this news to Dr. Einstein and the others?"
"Everyone sells it once, and rounding it up will let Sister Tesla know, right?"
