The eight-sided bronze walls remained.
Vielvie had dressed, sitting on a wooden chair, holding tea.
Lucas silently grumbled, "I'll have to take them off later, so why bother dressing now? Why not be straightforward?"
Vielvie sipped tea, looking at Lucas.
"You came out quickly. Did my servants treat you well?"
Recalling wrestling with robots for half an hour, Lucas shivered.
Not a good experience, especially for endurance.
Exhausted before the boss fight, but Vielvie could handle it.
"Look at me, and you'll know."
Lucas pointed to his sweat-soaked forehead.
Vielvie smiled elegantly, grey-pink eyes curving into crescents.
"I hope you enjoyed it."
She placed the teacup down.
As said, Vielvie was schizophrenic, with multiple personalities. The Great Magician faced Lucas now.
The Great Magician was common; others emerged when Lucas violated taboos: Arrogant Conductor, Gluttonous Hundred Flavors, Slothful Anti-Kevin Armament Model V, Jealous Expert, Greedy Scholar, Wrathful Arch-Evil.
The Great Magician represented Lust, milder than Elysia or Eden.
Lucas wondered if Vielvie's personalities shared corruption's burden, reducing symptoms.
The original Vielvie never appeared.
Looking at her, Lucas said, "Vielvie, the magic show's over, right?"
"Yes, with Binbin's help, it's a complete success!"
Vielvie snapped her fingers.
Bronze walls flew up, vanishing into the dark ceiling.
Robots below the stage disappeared, as if never there.
Vielvie guessed his thoughts. "Audiences exit orderly when the show ends. Now... just us."
She lifted a leg in a black high-heeled boot, poking Lucas's abdomen provocatively.
Mobius said men were like bacteria: give nutrition, they reproduce.
Despite exhaustion, Vielvie's teasing made Lucas lively.
Knowing strange stories would unfold, Lucas collapsed.
He unbuttoned his pajama top. "I'm out of energy. Resting. You do it."
Like a resigned girl.
Vielvie rolled her eyes. "You know how to enjoy."
"I don't want to... Let me go."
Lucas stopped unbuttoning.
Vielvie stood, foot on his chest. "Let you go? Hehe... We haven't agreed. Next, Binbin, play with us properly."
Her tone shifted: Arrogant Conductor.
"It's starting..."
Lucas's eyes flickered.
Post-conquest, Vielvie's personalities emerged during deep interactions, peaking in academic research.
Switching seven personalities in a minute was normal.
Discussing life's origin with many was beautiful, unlike Ai Yi.
Vielvie squatted, caressing Lucas's face. "We'll savor your body."
Gluttonous Hundred Flavors.
Her fingertips traced his chest. "You are ours."
Jealous Expert.
Greedy Scholar sniffed. "Wonderful, hehe..."
Different Vielvies appeared.
Lucas planned. "Next, find the former history teacher's office for Himeko's item."
Finding Welt Yang's office was simple: check the teaching building archives.
Only difficulty: an A-rank Night Valkyrie guarded it.
With Judah, luring her away was easy.
In contemplation, time passed.
At 3 AM, Lucas, supporting his waist and neck, left Vielvie's lab.
Judah emerged. "Fun?"
"Alright, but Arch-Evil Vielvie was too violent. Nearly choked me. Others intervened, or I'd be dead."
Lucas rubbed his neck, marked by red handprints from Arch-Evil.
Hickeys too, mostly from Hundred Flavors, who loved his body.
Her faint green glow made Lucas fear she'd bite his throat.
Post-conquest, such incidents were rare, not zero.
Judah gazed, wanting to speak, but stayed silent.
After a moment, looking at Lucas rubbing his neck, Judah crossed her arms. "What's next? Not just standing here, right?"
"Of course not."
Lucas coughed.
Standing in the cold was worse than returning to Vielvie's warmth.
Despite Hundred Flavors and Arch-Evil's quirks, other Vielvies were enjoyable.
Pulling thoughts from her body, Lucas said, "Next, operate in the teaching building."
"Looking for that thing again?"
Judah realized.
Lucas nodded. "Yes, but... new idea. Might cause you suffering."
"Suffering?"
Judah frowned.
Lucas said, "I need the archives for info. There's an A-rank Night Valkyrie there..."
