Chapter 976: Chapter 773 Leading Chishiki on a Walk

Kanako quickly passed Farosa with her heart pounding.

Farosa glanced back but then walked away on her own.

"Hey, hey?" Chishiki asked.

"Shh..." Kanako dared not make a sound, quickly whisked Chishiki away, and contacted Xu Yang in a secluded corridor.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Yang was taking a walk in his company after dinner.

"Farosa... Farosa doesn’t recognize me," Kanako whispered.

"Yes, haven’t I told you before? She doesn’t recognize you," he said.

"How is this possible? How could this happen..." Kanako felt that what was happening was beyond her comprehension.

Farosa... actually didn’t recognize Kojima Kanako!

"Because Farosa is now some kind of ’god’ and so her mind is filled with a lot of chaotic information, her cognitive ability is strong. She can learn and digest tens of thousands of characters in a very short time, so her thoughts are very vast and muddled..."

"I understand--" Kanako said with a bitter smile, "Farosa thinks that I, Kanako Kojima, am too insignificant!"

Farosa is thinking, working, busy with other things; the existence of Kojima Kanako can’t occupy her current cognitive power.

"Indeed, but you could try to be less present in front of her because she will eventually remember who you are, along with all previous information. She just neglected you because she’s busy with bigger objectives, not because she has forgotten you," Xu Yang explained.

It’s really miraculous, Kanako mused silently.

Farosa, being a divine being, feels that her minor existence is unimportant! Compared to Farosa’s Path of Ascension and the extraordinary achievement she longs to accomplish, what is a little Kanako!

Indeed, one cannot measure the actions of gods by human character, Kanako couldn’t help but sigh.

Since she feels that maintaining interpersonal relationships is unimportant, apart from Xu Yang, who is an exception, other people are gradually forgotten or ignored by Farosa...

Indeed, she is a merciless and wicked Witch Goddess.

I still need to be careful and cautious.

"Understood," Kanako replied.

"By the way, it would be good to have Xu Cheng and Bubble meet Chishiki," Xu Yang suggested.

"I know the little fool, but who is Bubble?" Kanako asked puzzled.

"They are kids, Xu Cheng’s little friend, you’ll understand when you see them," Xu Yang implied with understanding.

Sure enough, soon after, Xu Cheng came to headquarters with Bubble.

Xu Cheng had her hair in long braids, wore a white cotton suit and a black and red checkered skirt, and looked quite elegant.

"Wow! Impressive—" Bubble, in her green new clothes and wearing a pair of custom plastic gloves, was impressed by the grandeur of Nestor Headquarters.

This was the largest building she had ever entered in her lifetime; so many rooms, so many amazing facilities, and lots of employees bustling about.

If she could live in such a nice place even once in her lifetime, it would be worth dying for!

"Ho ho, this is where I used to live. I brought you here today to broaden your horizons," Xu Cheng acted mature, walking about in the Nestor Headquarters.

Most people didn’t recognize Xu Cheng; they couldn’t connect this light-footed, neatly dressed girl with the little creature who used to crawl around the ground.

After arriving at the chamber where Kanako was, Xu Cheng and Bubble became even happier.

Kanako watched cautiously how Xu Cheng and Bubble were interacting with Chishiki, one hand raised mid-air as if ready to snatch Chishiki back anytime.

Xu Yang stood aside, thinking Xu Cheng would come to him first, but instead, she went straight to Chishiki.

"Ah! Chishiki!" Xu Cheng lifted Chishiki from the crib, examining her carefully, "Do you remember me? I held you when you were little!"

"Hmm?" Chishiki blinked her big eyes looking at Xu Cheng.

"So cute," Bubble tiptoed to see Chishiki.

"You must not touch her," Kanako warned Bubble.

Bubble with green eyes and green hair, looked weird and would not make Kanako feel secure.

"Hmm!" Although rudely warned, Bubble happily retreated to the corner of the room, back against the wall, gazing at Chishiki from a distance.

To her, this was already quite suitable.

"Shoo shoo—" Chishiki stretched her fingers outward, as if she wanted to go out and play.

"Liftoff!" Xu Cheng lifted Chishiki over her head and took off running.

"Stop!" Kanako angrily followed behind, attempting to bring Chishiki back.

Bubble leaned forward, trying to keep up with Xu Cheng, but with Xu Cheng having run off, her movements stalled in place.

She slowly lowered the hand she had raised, footsteps thudding on the ground, her hands behind her back, head looking at the ceiling.

"Little Bubble?" Xu Yang was still inside.

"Ah— sir," Bubble quickly turned and bowed to Xu Yang, "Is there something for me to do? I work very hard!"

"You’re not of working age yet... Is there something you’d like to play?" Xu Yang asked.

"Play?" Bubble seemed unclear.

Xu Yang took Bubble to play video games.

In the employee entertainment room, there were many gaming consoles, and Bubble sat in front of one terminal, starting to play mini-games on the screen, simple side-scrolling adventure types, including a character jumping from platform to platform and fighting with limited means.

Xu Yang played games with Bubble for several hours, her laughter was cheerful and relaxed, but Xu Yang couldn’t feel happy no matter what.

One day in the future, she would split apart and die, her whole body transforming into a portal to another dimension and being "consumed".

Xu Yang felt that Bubble was unfortunate; to avoid such a fate, he could only seal her Magic Power and return her to a normal life.

The magic power of the "portal" formed by the convergence of myriad spaces and roads was nothing but a curse for Bubble.

By dinner time, Bubble’s eyes sparkled with intense emotion, and she appeared much more cheerful.

"Let’s go have dinner, they must be hungry too." Xu Yang took Bubble away.

"Thank you!" Bubble said politely to Xu Yang, continuously bowing to him, "You are the best person in the world!"

Bubble’s plastic gloves were prepared by Xu Yang, otherwise, she would occasionally turn other things green.

"Bubble, have you ever thought about what you want to be in the future?" Xu Yang asked.

"If Xu Cheng were to fly a plane, I’d like to sit behind her and help her drop bombs!" Bubble said.

Xu Yang imagined a future where Xu Cheng and Bubble were flying a fighter jet in the sky...

Still too weird.

"Is there anything you’d like to do in peacetime?" Xu Yang asked.

"When Xu Cheng is hungry, I cook; when Xu Cheng is sick, I give her shots; when Xu Cheng is sleepy, I make the bed; when Xu Cheng is at work, I watch the house!" Bubble said happily.

"That would spoil Xu Cheng, you can’t take care of her; you should let Xu Cheng do her own things. Just live as you wish, although given your special circumstances, I might have you do some extra work or checks in the future—just listen to me then. And remember to take your medicine on time." Xu Yang said.

"Yes! Thank you!" Bubble was very happy. Xu Cheng’s dad is a good man.

When Xu Yang and Bubble found Xu Cheng and the others, they discovered Xu Cheng teaching Chishiki to walk.

"Spread your arms out, and step forward like a little duck!" Xu Cheng spread her arms and stepped forward with her right foot.

"Goo woo?" Chishiki carefully stood up, spread her short arms, and stepped a small foot on the ground.

"Then the other side! You can do it!" Xu Cheng stepped with her other foot.

"Uh—Mm? Ah!" Chishiki took a step, leaned forward, and fell down. Xu Cheng quickly helped her up.

Kanako seemed to be used to their interaction, observing it all with a resigned expression.

"I tried to stop it." Kanako said to Xu Yang, "But Chishiki seems to be very interested in Xu Cheng."

"Because ’she has held her before.’ Kids have good memory," Xu Yang joked.

"And another thing..." Kanako observed Chishiki’s movements.

Under Xu Cheng’s guidance, Chishiki also wobbled but managed to stand steadily on the ground.

Walking is still too difficult for a seven-month-old child; she can barely stand up, but Chishiki is happy.

Xu Cheng led Chishiki slowly, Chishiki sucking on an empty pacifier, occasionally looking up happily at Xu Cheng.

"Is Xu Cheng good with children?" Xu Yang asked.

"Not at all! She’s just a silly girl. But... But Chishiki seems more lively than in the arms of maids and robots, happier, more... content, seemingly satisfied just being close to Xu Cheng. Maybe Chishiki isn’t very smart either, what a disappointment," Kanako said tiredly.

"Of course, children prefer being near another child, they can only see adults’ knees, and they can also feel the coldness of robots..." Xu Yang observed how Chishiki was placed back into the cradle.

"Try to grow up well..." Xu Cheng rocked Chishiki’s cradle, "It’d be good if you grow up as smart as me."

"Oom..." Chishiki yawned, rubbed her eyes with a tiny hand, snuggled deep into the warm swaddling clothes, and soon fell asleep.

"How is it, this family childcare life, quite different from ’Xisheng’s children,’ right?" Xu Yang asked Kanako.

Kanako looked at Xu Cheng’s self-entertained foolish appearance and shook her head.

"Stop joking... Xu Cheng, what were your exam scores last semester?" Kanako asked.

"Ah!" Xu Cheng jumped back, hiding behind her dad.

Because she doesn’t like studying and isn’t good at exams, although she probably learned something, Xu Cheng’s grades were very poor, and the educational institution suggested that Xu Cheng repeat a year.

"There’s no hope for Shangjing University, better to study at home. Anyway, about education... don’t think too much." Xu Yang patted Xu Cheng’s hair.

"She must take supplementary lessons, no discussion about it." Kanako said, "Xu Cheng? Did you hear? If you don’t study hard, I won’t let Chishiki continue to play with you."

"Wuwu..." Xu Cheng felt Kanako was scary.

"We will become a good family." Xu Yang felt it was acceptable.

He told Xu Cheng to flip through some books in the evening, then went to the meeting room himself.

There was a meeting today; a special envoy from the North Silla Labor Union came seeking support from Nestor Corporation.

A Silla envoy named Chen Xinchi had just arrived by charter flight, tired from the journey; Xu Yang then quickly went to meet him.

"Commissioner Xu, hello." Chen Xinchi looked like a refugee, not in good color, a rather sturdy build, probably from a military background, he saluted Xu Yang.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Xu Yang invited him to sit, "Is there any news from Silla?"

"It’s troublesome, we are facing threats from Modern Entertainment Company..." Chen Xinchi hurriedly took out a stack of printed papers from his briefcase.

Due to the prevalence of paperless work, Xu Yang had not seen such large stacks of documents for a long time; they were overwhelming at sight.

He quickly flipped through these documents, absorbing the knowledge with his eyes, which described the various predicaments of North Silla, quite a bad situation.

Given North Silla’s current fragile economic conditions, without any attack from Modern Entertainment Company, they might collapse by themselves.

Three years after the civil war ended, the people of North Silla have always been trying to build a fair society, but they were too poor and too backward, so today, they are likely to be infiltrated and annexed by Modern Entertainment Company.

"Nestor Corporation finds it difficult to directly provide military support, as we cannot start a large-scale war at our doorstep." Xu Yang flipped through the files.

"But we have studied for a long time, we hope... we hope... to hire one person to help us, just one person."

"Who?"

"Jin Yuxiu! Commissioner Xu, let Jin Yuxiu come back to defend her homeland!" Chen Xinchi stood up earnestly and said.
