Eden was actually a bit bewildered.
At twenty-four years old, Eden is in the prime of her youth and ambition.
While her good upbringing prevents her from being arrogant, she is no less self-assured than her peers and even dares to declare to Tian Shi that she is "already very successful in art."
Therefore, Eden feels quite confident in her figure.
Although Mobius had a slightly larger bust than hers, Eden didn't mind.
Leaving aside the importance of breasts when judging aesthetics, even considering size alone, Mobius was not much larger than she was.
Furthermore, breast size is not the only factor to consider.
Thus, when facing Mobius, Eden was by no means inferior to her opponent.
After all, each had her advantages and disadvantages in certain aspects, but overall, Eden could claim she was superior.
But Aponia...
To be honest, comparing herself to Aponia is not much different from comparing herself to Mobius.
In terms of overall aesthetics, Eden still trusts that she can eclipse Aponia.
But the problem is... the local area is too large.
Even Eden, being so vast, seemed a bit inferior.
"It doesn't matter, at least not for now."
Tian Shi's response was quite subtle, but Eden, who had just received a heavy blow, only heard the first half and didn't stop to think if that first part of the answer was reasonable.
Mmm... this is the second blow Eden has suffered in her life.
By the way, the first blow came from Mobius...
The main problem was that Mobius and Tian Shi were quite compatible, which was why Eden was so deeply affected.
Yes, the previous rejection from the company was not a big blow to Eden.
After all, Tian Shi had reminded her before and had even made some plans for the future after reminding her.
Therefore, Eden's previous rejection was due more to the idea that the other party was blind to talent, and that she and Tian Shi would put them in their place.
But Aponia is truly impossible to beat...
This can be considered as suffering two psychological blows in a short period of time, so Eden is a bit dazed.
"Thinking about it, isn't it a bit strange that Miss Aponia is a nun from the slums?"
"Eden, you'd better not question other people's professions so lightly."
Tian Shi looked speechlessly at Eden, who was sitting on the bed, apparently dazed.
Were Eden's thoughts a bit scattered today?
To be honest, Tian Shi didn't notice anything strange.
Although Aponia's size is quite unusual, Tian Shi is aware of it to some extent, but this awareness actually falls within the realm of common sense for him.
To overcome Tian Shi's common sense, she would have to be at least the size of Bronya in the dream.
So now, quite inexplicably, a thick barrier has finally appeared between Tian Shi and Eden, although the nature of said barrier is truly subtle.
"It's not that I'm questioning Miss Aponia's profession, after all, in my eyes, Miss Aponia is already a perfect nun, it's just that… well… perhaps the God Miss Aponia worships is somewhat inappropriate."
Tian Shi: "?"
Wait, how did the blame fall on me?
"How is that so?"
"Because Gods influence believers, right?" said Eden, apparently out of nowhere, but with an air of seriousness.
"Eden, aren't you an atheist?"
"But thinking about it, I have a ghost like you around me, so why should I cling to atheism?"
Eden leaned her chin on her hand, looking at Tian Shi with a puzzled expression.
Thinking about it this way, why would she believe in atheism?
Is it all because this guy talked to me about science every day when we were children?
Tian Shi: "..."
Damn, it makes so much sense that even Tian Shi cannot refute it.
"Speaking of which, according to the plots of fantasy novels, nuns in slums like these might be worshipping some kind of evil god..."
Zas!
Unable to bear it any longer, Tian Shi dealt a blow to Eden's hand.
He really didn't understand what was wrong with that girl at that moment, that she could let her thoughts wander to such scandalous places...
"Don't overthink it, go to sleep, you are an adult now, don't force me to lull you to sleep."
"It's just a little fantasy..."
Eden rubbed her head.
Believing in evil gods is just a way of speaking; Aponia was actually the holiest person Eden had ever seen.
But as I already said, why is the nun from the slum so developed...?
"But I think I no longer need Miss Aponia to sing with me..."
...
The next day
Around eight o'clock, there was a knock on Eden's room door.
"Good morning, Miss Aponia."
Eden, who was already dressed, opened the door.
"Good morning, Miss Eden."
Although Aponia showed no expression, her attitude conveyed a sense of sweetness.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Well?"
Eden cannot exactly say she dreamed last night that she and Aponia were performing on a stage, only to discover that the entire audience was looking at Aponia, right?
This is a singer's worst nightmare...
Eden subconsciously looked at Aponia's chest.
It doesn't matter, better if I don't look.
Should that cleavage exist in a place like Dusk Street?
If I didn't know that Tian Shi knows nothing about nutrition, I would have asked him to explain it to me.
That doesn't seem scientific at all.
"Miss Eden?"
Aponia called Eden softly, pulling her out of her reverie.
"If there is nothing else to do, please come down for breakfast, breakfast is ready, after breakfast, we will visit our neighbors and make preparations for the charity performance."
"Do you still want to visit the neighbors?" asked Eden, somewhat surprised.
"Well, I guess that's the rule in Dusk Street."
Aponia nodded slightly.
After all, it is better to give notice in advance before organizing a charity performance to avoid problems.
"But don't worry, it isn't dangerous... It is more about seeing if we can borrow some singing equipment, if we can't get it..."
Aponia seemed somewhat worried as she spoke.
Although Eden wanted to say that she could pay for the purchases herself, she still understood the rule about not flaunting her wealth in public.
She was also intrigued by the hesitation in the other person's words.
"What should I do if I can't borrow it?"
"If we can't borrow it, then we will have to go see Pardo."
Aponia said with a sigh.
Dusk Street has the widest variety of items, and Aponia knows them all like the back of her hand.
In the same way, Aponia was also very clear about where Pardofelis's various objects came from.
Although the other party is a thief with principles who often provides help to sanatoriums, Aponia does not approve of this behavior.
Well, Aponia had to admit that the other party's moral standards were actually high for Dusk Street, so she didn't object to communicating with her.
"In short, Miss Eden, rest assured that I will do everything possible to ensure the success of the charity performance."
