"Theophile."

Amethyst called out.

"Well, this is the dragon."

The white-haired girl Theophile showed the gray puppy in her arms with a faint smile.

"Um...wang!"

The gray puppy kept struggling in Theophile's arms, and even wanted to turn around and bite the two lumps of flesh on her chest, but Theophile easily straightened its body.

"I'm sorry to have you active in this manner."

Amethyst touched the gray puppy's head, and the latter calmed down, obviously not as hostile to Amethyst as to Theophile.

"Where did you find it?"

Amethyst asked Theophile.

"It was following the Second Herrscher on the street, and was discovered by others, who asked me to bring it back for you to deal with."

"Don't worry about the disposal... I won't do anything dangerous to you."

Zijing took the frightened gray puppy from Theophile's arms, held it for a while, and comforted it. "But you can't run around in this world. I can assure you that you and Xilin will meet again soon."

"..."

Perhaps feeling Amethyst's sincerity, the gray puppy calmed down completely and curled up in his arms, as if it had fallen asleep.

"Then I'll leave it in your care."

Amethyst handed the grey puppy to the white-haired girl again.

"No problem. Do you want to feed it dog food?"

"This... is not necessary. After all, it is still a Honkai beast in essence."

Amethyst sensed the conflict between Theophile and Benares, and it was obvious that the gray puppy's body was trembling again, as if it was angry.

"Even though it's a Honkai beast, it can still eat dog food."

Theophile looked serious.

"Okay, okay, negotiate with Benares, but don't quarrel." Zijing said helplessly.

"it is good."

Theophil took another step closer to Amethyst, used his free hand to hug him, and the gray puppy was almost crushed in the middle.

"..."

Amethyst did not return the hug, but waited patiently for Theophile to let go of her hand, and then left before other employees of the company passed by.

After waiting for about half an hour, the door of the conference room opened and Siegfried walked out with a smile on his face. But when he saw Amethyst waiting outside, he put on a sour face again.

"Looks like something good happened, Uncle Siegfried. Did you get a promotion and a raise?" Zijing asked with a smile, as if she didn't notice Siegfried's disgusted expression.

"Why are you still here?"

Siegfried asked instead of answering.

"Wait for you to come out."

"Have you been waiting here all this time? Have you never left?"

"Yeah, are you happy? It feels like someone has been waiting for you."

"Hehe... I would be very happy if it wasn't you."

Siegfried walked to the right of the corridor. After a few steps, he found that Amethyst did not follow him, so he looked back in surprise, his eyes seemed to ask why you haven't caught up yet.

"Ah, I want to visit other places." Amethyst responded.

"I won't take you with me. I still have to go to work." Siegfried refused subconsciously.

"I know, that's why I'm on my own."

"…It's up to you. You won't be kicked out as a suspicious person anyway."

After Siegfried left, Zijing went straight into the conference room, where sat the company president Otto and some other ladies, all of whom were senior executives of the company.

"Now that you're here, please take a seat. I've just been discussing a new game project with Mr. Siegfried... I was mostly just listening to him, haha. If he can settle down in the future, maybe I can really arrange a job like this for him."

Otto said with a smile. Unlike Siegfried, he retained his original memory, so he couldn't help laughing when watching Siegfried demonstrate his new game in the meeting just now.

Not only him, but also the other ladies in the conference room were the same, although now was not the time to care about these things.

"Let's talk business. The treatment of the second Herrscher, and... the subjugation of another Herrscher."

Otto watched Amethyst sit down, and kept observing her expression. The difference in attitude towards the two Herrschers depended on Amethyst herself. Destiny was willing to cooperate with Amethyst and Moth's battle plan, and Anti-Entropy was the same.

"Before that, I would like to thank Bishop Otto for his cooperation. As for the specific arrangements... let me explain them next."

One of the ladies in the conference room stood up. She was not a person of destiny. She had long dark purple hair and wore a pair of glasses. She had an intellectual beauty.

"No problem, Ms. May."

Perhaps because he had come into contact with a new person, Otto showed an interested expression.

……

At the same time, on the other side.

Cecilia entered a shopping mall with her two daughters.

Xilin held Cecilia's left hand, and Qiana held Cecilia's right hand. The three of them talked and laughed, having a great time.

"Xilin, you seem to have been looking back since just now... Is there something you care about?" Cecilia noticed that Xilin's mind had been drawn away since some time ago, so she asked curiously.

"Ah, I know that. Sister Xilin must be very concerned about the puppy we saw before. It has been following it all the time, but now it can't be found. It must be worrying, right?" Kiana answered Cecilia's question.

"Oh, is that so, Celine?"

Cecilia had already received the news, so she knew that the missing gray puppy corresponded to the dragon-shaped Honkai beast in the real world, which had now been taken away by Miss Theophile.

"Um……"

Xilin nodded, absentmindedly.

"Maybe it's time to add some new members to our family. Xilin, Qiana, if you want to keep a pet, what kind of animal do you prefer?" Cecilia asked her two daughters.

"Ah, it must be a dog, right? After all, Sister Xilin seemed to like the gray puppy very much!" Kiana shouted.

"Not really... I just care a little bit..."

Xilin couldn't figure out her own thoughts. Since yesterday, her mind seemed to start to wander, and a kind of unpleasant feeling of disobedience came over her.

“It means I still like it a little bit~”

Cecilia gently touched Celine's head.

"Well, Mom~"

The three of them walked to the food court in the mall. Various aromas filled the air, not only catching Kiana's nose, but also attracting Xilin's attention. Cecilia looked at the excitement of her two daughters and couldn't help but smile.

"Wow, it smells so good here! Mom, can we go try the grilled chicken wings?" Kiana pointed to a grilled wing shop not far away, her mouth almost watering. The shop's sign read "Secret Grilled Wings", and the golden chicken wings on the grill sizzled, giving off an enticing aroma.

Xilin also moved over. Although she was still thinking about the gray puppy, the aroma of the grilled chicken wings made her swallow her saliva. "It looks delicious, Mom. Can we try it?"

Cecilia nodded: "Okay, let's enjoy the food today." Then, she took her two daughters and walked towards the grilled wing restaurant.
