"Uh oh, I need to get out of here!" Seele grabbed Bronya's hand and was about to leave.
Just then.
Serval and Lynx each pressed down on the two girls' shoulders. "Don't panic! We haven't finished watching yet, right? The whole point of public embarrassment is to do it right in front of the person themselves!"
Castorice saw this scene and felt deeply shocked. "So this is what friendship between women looks like? It's so profound."
Hyacine twitched at the corners of her mouth. "Tribbie, this kind of team-building activity is terrifying, right? I'm laughing so hard, but just thinking that I might show up later makes me feel panicked. What do I do?"
Kiana comforted her. "Don't worry, Hyacine. I'm at least the head of the Kaslana family now—with me protecting you, Boss Su Chen wouldn't dare touch you."
"I'm afraid you'd get dragged into it too."
——
"Regarding the Underworld reconstruction plan." Bronya was pacing back and forth in her office. "Hmm… We still need to consider factors from all sides. We have to speed up the schedule and get moving quickly. If we delay too long, we won't finish."
Meanwhile, Seele served as a background prop, repeatedly launching Flying Head attacks.
Caelus pulled out the clock again and said to March 7th, "Let me demonstrate for you!"
He adjusted the moods of the two from melancholy to "calm."
Cut to the next scene.
The two were already dead drunk.
"Work? Work my ass! Slacking off feels so good!" Seele's speech was slurred as she kept burping from the alcohol.
Bronya picked up a bottle of red wine. "Keep drinking!"
March 7th seized the moment to pull out her camera and flash a peace sign.
Click—the photo froze!
Next, the scene shifted to the Divination Commission.
"Qingque!!!" Fu Xuan grabbed Qingque's leave request form. "Qingque!!! I've gone five days this week without seeing a trace of you. If you keep indulging in Celestial Jade and skipping work… your salary this month!"
Qingque scratched her head sheepishly. "There are still two days left! Ehehe!"
The camera zoomed in on the leave form details:
"Monday: Hand cramped from playing cards yesterday, taking leave"
"Tuesday: Foot cramped from playing cards with feet yesterday, taking leave"
"Wednesday: Tongue cramped from playing cards with tongue yesterday, taking leave"
"Thursday: Couldn't play cards yesterday, felt bad, taking leave"
"Friday: Hand cramped again, taking leave"
——
"Holy crap! Genius!" Yuma watched the scene in the video and immediately pulled out a notebook to jot it down. "As expected from the creative netizens—now I have another excuse for leave!"
"Really?" Tsukishiro Yanagi's glasses glinted, hiding her exact expression, but the powerful aura she exuded still made Yuma feel like he'd been electrocuted.
"Hahaha, hahaha." Yuma covered his embarrassment with a smile. "I was just kidding."
At the same time.
Fu Xuan sat there in utter despair, murmuring like a demon. "Why? Why is it me again!"
"Sigh, poor thing, Fu Xuan!" Jing Yuan sighed helplessly. "I promise I'll watch it all and won't laugh out loud."
"Fu sir, don't get too tense. Look on the bright side—what if the one getting embarrassed is me?" Qingque comforted from the side.
"Qingque!!" Fu Xuan looked at Qingque with genuine gratitude. "Thank you."
——
Back to the video.
"Qingque, your salary this month…" The Fu Xuan in the video was furious.
"Let me demonstrate for you!" Caelus picked up the clock once more.
After seeing so many fun things, March 7th happily stomped her little feet as if saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Fu Xuan's mood shifted from indignation to "revelry."
Fu Xuan tossed aside the leave form, sat down at the mahjong table, and slammed her hand down on the Celestial Jade tiles. "Hehehe~ If you want your salary, win it from me!"
"Eh?!" Qingque was startled by Fu Xuan's sudden action.
March 7th quickly pressed the shutter.
Fuque, Qingxuan.
In the blink of an eye, Caelus took March 7th to the Space Station, inside Herta's office.
"Let me demonstrate for you."
The next scene showed four little Herta puppets each tagged with "indignation," "melancholy," "joy," and "calm."
They spun nonstop, still shouting.
"Spin spin spin, spin spin spin, I'm gonna break!"
"Spin spin spin, spin spin spin, here's a huge diamond for you!"
"Spin spin spin, spin spin spin…"
Asta held Peppy, while Ruan Mei had her cat cake on her head, both falling silent as they watched the spinning Herta puppets.
Click—
March 7th captured another world-famous painting.
——
"Hahahaha, hahaha, hahaha, I'm dying—this Herta puppet finally got what it deserved!" Silver Wolf watched the scene and let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Little girl, did you get your account back?" Herta's voice came from behind her.
Silver Wolf jolted. "B-Big, Big Herta, why are you here?"
"I came to check if your account's acting weird!"
——
Back to the fan edit video.
"Mmm~" Caelus looked at the photos in his hand with satisfaction. "Next, should I make Aventurine angry…"
The scene shifted.
Aventurine sat at the card table with Dr. Ratio. He suddenly stood up, pointing at Dr. Ratio's nose. "17 cards and you think you can insta-kill me? You think you can one-shot me? I'll eat this monitor right here!"
"Airplane!" Dr. Ratio calmly replied. "KKKKK, JJJ, 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 9, 8, 8, 5."
Aventurine: ?????
Brainstorm over, Caelus gave a wicked smile. "Or should I make Acheron and Black Swan happy instead?"
The next moment.
Acheron and Black Swan performed a duet masquerade dance.
Their dance moves couldn't exactly be called embarrassing, but they were certainly hard for humans to survive watching.
——
Black Swan had black lines all over her face. Ever since the Honkai: Star Rail web drama aired, she'd still had some high-class moments—like toying with two Masked Fools or single-handedly repelling Memokeeper.
But ever since "Eternal Wheel Dance" aired, her reputation had plummeted.
Now she was completely reduced to a joke. Who knew if she'd recover her image in Amphoreus.
"It's all just fan content."
"Mei-neesan, nya!" Cipher darted behind Acheron. "I didn't expect your dance moves to be so captivating, nya!"
Acheron gave a wry smile. "Some people will pay the price eventually."
——
After going through this series of events, March 7th finally noticed something off. "Trailblazer, hasn't the Joy tavern invited you yet? You're even more Sparkle than Sparkle!"
"Hmm hmm hmm~"
Caelus turned back seductively as the background music started playing Joy's little tune.
"Clang clang~"
At that moment, Caelus and Sparkle's voices merged.
"You got it right, little pink hair…"
Caelus placed the Fool's mask on his face—his pupils now identical to Sparkle's.
——
"Holy crap, this is unfair—this fan edit is wrong! Why does this scene feel so cool?" March 7th slapped Stelle's thigh and stood up.
"Yeah, how can public embarrassment have such a handsome moment!"
The watching crowd voiced their dissatisfaction.
Kiana: "Oh! I get it—the video was actually arranged by you, Boss, right?"
Sampo: "Definitely. How come good stuff like this never lands on me? Smuggling personal goods."
The next scene only solidified everyone's suspicions!
In the video, March 7th clutched her head and exclaimed, "You really are Sparkle—then where's the real Trailblazer?"
Petals floated by as Caelus and Firefly sat at the dining table, enjoying their private world.
Paired with the BGM of "Red High Heels," it was utterly romantic.
——
"Yo?" Silver Wolf looked at the blushing Firefly. "Isn't this exactly what you've always wanted to do with Su Chen? The real one hasn't made a move yet, but the fan edit got there first."
"Ahh, stop it." Firefly covered her face with both hands, peeking through her fingers to keep watching.
The crowd turned to Su Chen with meaningful looks.
"Still saying it wasn't you who arranged it?"
"Smuggling personal goods!"
"Favoritism!"
"Betraying your master!"
"Deceiving the world!"
"Deserves execution!"
Su Chen couldn't take it anymore—where was the boss's dignity?
"Hey, careful or I'll dock your pay—ah!"
——
The video screen went black.
Sparkle herself held the photos and the clock. "Now the photos and clock tricks are all mine."
"I am Joy!" She laughed wildly. "Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha…"
Just then, a powerful BGM kicked in.
The prank victims surrounded Sparkle from all directions.
Firefly nestled in Caelus's arms as he pointed at Sparkle. "She's impersonating me!"
