Chapter 31: Creation

Ein is currently between Mobius and Mei. Discussing future projects "So, what are we going to focus on first? The nano-tech will help us fight honkai while prometheus can predict eruptions and disasters." He started.

Mobius pondered for a bit "We already have relevant data and some experiments with the nano bots. It will be approved quickly and we can start development almost immediately."

Mei: "I agree, but it won't have great benefits quickly for such a big project. We don't know how we will weaponize it efficiently. Its primary focus is for siphoning honkai energy, and we can do that now, but not as efficient."

Ein: "That's a good point. If we have prometheus we can predict honkai eruptions and save a lot of lives before a herrscher spawns. But the strategy of MOTH to get rid of herrschers cause a lot of destruction, it will take billions or even trillions to restore a city to its former glory. We need weapons that can dispatch of them efficiently and cleanly."

They then got stumped and was back in the beginning. "Ein, glasses girl. This needs a bit more brain storming. Ein give more pros and cons, you can process information ridiculously quick." Mobius pointed at Ein.

Ein: "Geez, what a way to put me on the spot. Well, I think we should focus on nano tech that can absorb and utilize honkai energy 1st. Honkai eruptions do not happen that quickly and prometheus' main purpose is to accurately predict eruptions. In the mean time, if we can make something revolutionary with that window of time. Then we can fight back without compromising our cities like in the past."

Mobius and Mei pondered for a minute, then nodded "Good point Ein. We've had decades before the next herrscher appeared. But that might change though. Nevertheless, now Ein pointed it out, the 3rd herrscher appeared just a few weeks ago. We have a lot of time to make other projects first." Mei reasoned.

Mobius: "Then this meeting is adjourned? This isn't my specialty, you and Ein can work on the project while I work on my prior ones. Ein does not have any problems to be in any department after all."

Ein: "Okay then Mobius, we will work on this for now. Keep on trying to do experiments on our certain project, there's been a lot of mutations resulting from it I assume?" Genes can't be changed willy nilly after all.

Mobius sighed heavily "I've been trying it on certain small organisms for now, and the results aren't quite passable. I've tested it on embryos and single celled organisms and they're the only ones that have good results."

Ein patted her head "Good, we don't expect good results right away anyway. Keep on working on it for now and I'll help you whenever I can. I'll just focus on the weapons development for now, it's too precious to let up."

Mobius slapped his hand away and glared at him as she whispered "Your colleague is right there! Go away and leave me alone."

He smiled and gestured for Mei to come with him as they left the lab. "That bad guy, embarrassing me in front of our colleague! And that Mei too." She grumbled.

____________________________________________

"Mei, you read the files that I gave you right? What do you think? Can we use it to manipulate honkai energy like herrschers or honkai beasts?"

Mei scratched her head "I don't know really, it's incomplete and jumping the gun on trying to make weapons that can rival herrschers might be a bit too much." She smiled wryly.

Ein pondered for a bit "Hmm, that's it! If we can't use it to have firepower like herrschers, why not use the herrschers instead!?"

Mei was confused "What do you mean by that?"

Ein: "Come on Mei, you're too enclosed by science. Herrscher powers defy the laws of physics! That's anime as fuck. With the power of god and anime by our side we have no limits!" He grasped Mei's shoulder and shaked her vigorously.

Mei: "Stop! What the hell are you talking about you crazy guy." She stared at him coldly.

Ein: "Ahem, you see Mei. Herrschers have a gem right? In all 3 we've got gems from them that emit honkai energy almost endlessly. In anime logic that means they're the source of their power. And using those gems as cores, we can craft weapons or armors."

Mei raised a brow "And why do you think that? All we know about them is they might be the fuel herrschers have that powers their abilities."

Ein: "Tsk, you're such a normie Mei. Trust me on this! We need to make experiments immediately. I'll do the herrscher cores and you focus on making the tech to use the cores."

Mei nodded "Alright, I'll trust you on this. I can't handle the herrscher gems anyways. We're still junior researchers remember?"

Ein: "Hmph, I can just let Mobius handle that part. And we won't be junior researchers for long, this is our goal right? Be the very best that ever was." He sang in a familiar tune.

Mei: "You're the weird one here Ein. How can you treat Dr. Mobius like that earlier? She's honestly scary and intimidating." She looks at him weirdly.

Ein: "You get a pass if you're too important. Works in any setting honestly, me and the squad will have a few missions. I'll leave you to make a breakthrough for now. Oh and by the way, you and Kevin made any kids yet?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

Mei choked on her saliva "W-w-what the hell are you talking about! We did... Kiss one time though, when he was down a few days ago." She said sheepishly.

Ein: "Ohhhh! I didn't know you had it in you! Take care of Kevin okay? He's sacrificing a lot to be here with you. That guy might be an idiot, but at least I know he'll do a lot to be with you. Him being here is a testament to his resolve." He said softly.

Mei: "I know, so I gotta do my best as well. I'll make a breakthrough on my side of the project, don't you worry." She smiled.

Ein: "Umu, that's what I want to hear. Remember, anime and god is on our side. You'll do fine!" He then ran as he waved goodbye.

Mei: "Geez, what the hell is he talking about? Maybe I really should check it out?" She seriously thought about it.

The soldier squad was packing gear and Elysia was glued to Ein like a leech "Ein~ Carry my gear for me?" Elysia begged.

Kevin: "Hey! That's not fair. We guys already have to carry more gear, you can't let Ein carry yours as well!" He protested

Himeko squinted her eyes at Elysia "That's right Elysia... Besides, why are you sticking to him like that anyway. You're being a nuisance, not that I'm jealous or anything." She muttered.

Elysia stuck her tongue out "Bleh, you guys are just jealous that my Ein will help me carry all my gear. Ain't that right Ein?" She roped him into the conversation.

Ein sighed and just decided to store all of their gear except weapons, rations, and comms. "You all better keep quiet about this. Or you know what's coming for you. I can make you disappear like you're not even here in the 1st place." He stared at them.

Everybody shivered "Y-you won't do that right? Right!?" Kevin exclaimed.

Himeko: "Yes sir!" Himeko saluted.

Elysia: "Mou~ you know we won't do that Ein."

Ein nodded "Good, now let's go. I'm your provisionary squad leader, my orders are absolute unless it is necessary to disobey them. You're soldiers, critical thinking is crucial in our line of work. Do you guys understood!?"

I can't unleash my full potential with a stranger on the squad, good thing my achievement was reported and I underwent some tests for being a squad leader.

The trio saluted "Sir yes sir!"

Ein: "We depart and unleash hell on some seraph classes lingering on the border of a city. Let's go."

Ein was currently commanding them while being on the backline with a spear in hand, ready for emergency support. "Elysia, go in front you have the best accuracy! Kevin, go to the rear. You have good dynamic vision provide support. Himeko, divide and conquer. Your tactical acumen will help greatly as a commando unit that can react accordingly."

The trio made quick work of the honkai beasts as the last one went down. "Good job squad, now let's get some grub and we wait for transport."

Elysia: "Whew, aren't you like perfect for this Ein? I'm glad you're our squad leader!" She hugged him on the waist.

Ein: "Thanks Ellie. Now we should eat, MRE's aren't bad but you guys prefer nicely prepared meals after all."

Elysia: "Of course! You're such a godsend!" She kissed him on the lips that didn't went unnoticed.

Himeko was shocked and gaping like a fish "What... What does this mean Elysia!?" She pointed at them.

Kevin's noodles fell from his wide open mouth, shocked out of his mind. "Ein... Are you cheating on our goddess Eden-sama!?"

Ein scratched the back of his head "Well, Eden already knows Kevin. Don't overreact, and Elysia. It's fine right now, but we're on a mission. Don't do this often okay?"

Elysia: "Hmm~ yes hubby. How about that Himeko, I've reached far and beyond! Hohoho." She said with a smug smile on her face.

Himeko: "Gunununu! You might have won this fight Elysia! But I will certainly come back victorious." She glared at her.

Kevin: "You too Himeko? What the actual hell is going on here? Ahh, I just have to ignore it. Ein-sama is beyond my mortal comprehension, sasuga."

Ein: "Our ride is here. Let's go, this can be discussed later."

They then returned with an enlightened Kevin, angry Himeko, and a happy Elysia.

In Mobius' lab.

Klein: "Dr. Mobius, I can feel something troublesome that will surely make us busy again."

Mobius: "It's probably Ein again. That guy, making me have so much work. He'll probably request something absurd again when he returns. When will our new assistants come Klein?"

Klein: "They will be here today professor. They will surely be a big help in the lab. Especially when caring with your precious Hamsuke." Her voice smug, but her face straight as an arrow.

Mobius: "Shut up Klein, do you want me to make you a test subject?" She squinted her eyes.

Klein: "No. Please excuse me." She then walked away without a care in the world.

Mobius then read her current research and was getting frustrated "No! This is wrong. This one too! That damned Ein and his research is more complicated than I thought. Klein! Get me some bubble wrap."

Klein then had some bubble wrap in hand while sipping some milk tea. "Here you go Dr. Mobius, stuck in Mr. Einheri's research?"

Mobius snatched the bubble wrap and went to a couch. Popping it aggressively "Tch, When will the 2 new assistants be here!? Ein is driving me to a wall with his suggestions and research. He should work here full time!"

While Mobius was grumbling, a pair of twins then came in the lab "Hello! We're the new assistants for Dr. Mobius?" The one with red eyes exclaimed excitedly.

?: "Nuwa, you're being loud and impolite. Nice to meet you, I am Fuxi, and this rude one is Nuwa. Please take care of us."

Nuwa: "Hehe~ sorry Fuxi. But we're assistants to a famous researcher now you know!?"

Klein: "Welcome, Fuxi, Nuwa. We've been expecting you, I am Klein. Dr. Mobius' assistant. The one on the couch is the professor."

Mobius stared at the twins "Hmm, you guys are awfully late. Klein, we have a new rule now in the lab. Anyone who comes late has to buy bubble tea for everyone." She popped the bubble wrap continuously.

Nuwa whispered to Klein "Hey, is the professor in a bad mood?"

Klein: "Unfortunately yes, her colleague is piling work on her you see. And he'll be here later."

Fuxi and Nuwa didn't know what to do but the door opened saving them from the awkwardness "Mobius, Klein. I've returned, the mission was quick fortunately."

They then saw a tall man in a soldier uniform, his long platinum silver hair waving like in a hair commercial. His chiseled body in display.

Nuwa: "Um, who are you? Are you Dr. Mobius' colleague perhaps?" She asked softly.

Fuxi: "Sorry about that, I am Fuxi, and she's Nuwa. Please take care of us." She bowed and made Nuwa bow her head as well.

Ein: "Oya? It seems our little helpers are here huh? I'm Einheri, call me Ein. Nuwa, Fuxi, don't mind Mobius too much she's a bit dramatic sometimes." He smiled.

Mobius: "And who's fault do you think that is huh!? Why don't you just quit being a soldier and help us here?" She glared at him.

Ein: "Tsk tsk Mobius. You don't understand, beating up things with superpowers is a man's romance. You who is the pure brains type won't understand me." He said with fake sadness.

Fuxi: "Um, Dr. Einheri. You're a soldier? Why though, you're a researcher right?"

Nuwa: "Umu, why are you out on the fields fighting when you are a researcher?"

Ein: "Haha, simple really. It's because I can, somebody has to do some cleaning up here now don't we? After all, it's such a waste if I hole up here at the base and research like a madman." He shrugs.

Nuwa: "Wow." She went silent for a moment. "Ain't this guy super cool!?"

Mobius: "Huhhh!? He's an idiot is what he is. Dividing his time on fighting, giving me so much trouble." She grumbled while popping some bubble wrap.

Ein: "Mobius, you're stressed out again. Hah, you even have to pop some bubble wrap. Come on I'll feed you guys some desserts to lighten up."

Klein: "Ohhhh! Please buy me a lot of bubble tea Mr. Einheri. You're late after all, Dr. Mobius made a new rule that whoever is late will have to buy for everyone."

Ein: "Sure thing Klein. So you love bubble tea huh? Maybe I'll make some for you in the future. Let's go, Mobius, let's relax for a bit. I have a request later so you need all the rest you need."

Mobius sighed "Why did you have to jinx it Klein. Now this bastard will probably request something big again."

They then went on their way to the cafeteria.

Omake: An unexpected party.

Raiden Mei was just returning from fighting in the Elysian realm, she wanted to find Odin and ask him some questions on who he is and why he was in such a high pedestal in Kevin's eyes.

"Who is he? I thought Kevin was the leader of the flame chasers. There's no records of Odin anywhere, that guy's too mysterious. Being the ghost leader, he must know a lot." She then went to the lounge and saw something surreal.

Kevin was slurping a bowl of ramen on the side. Elysia and Eden were hugging Odin's left and right respectively. While Mobius was on his lap, passed out drunk. While massive amounts of food was on the table.

Elysia: "Ahhh~ honestly, I miss the old you Kevin. You seem a bit pretentious now. You've been number one for too long and have an image to maintain, right?

Kevin stopped slurping a bowl of ramen "...Is there something else?"

Elysia: "Look at you, when you have a honkai beast for dinner, you always slice it carefully to make sure it looks elegant. Hah, I wonder where the old Kevin has gone? The one that we shared hardtack with on the field."

Kevin went silent for a moment "Enough of your boring lies Elysia. That didn't happen.

Elysia: "Alright, I'll stop. But I do miss the old you Kevin."

Eden, clearly drunk then said "Ahh! I remember when I was just new in MOTH Ellie. Kevin invited the newbies for a meeting."

Elysia: "Oh! When I was away, Kevin did organize all the team building activities. He's so nice, even though he was slowly turning into an ice block."

Eden: "Un, but Ellie. I don't think you're aware of the events he organized..."

Elysia: "Uh, no I didn't."

Eden: "I thought it was a tradition so I didn't refuse his invitation."

Elysia: "Uh, I should have told you earlier. So, what happened?"

Eden hesitated for a bit "No more than 10 soldiers in a meeting room, having noodles for at least 10 times." She deadpanned.

Elysia: "Meeting room... Noodles." She then laughed until she almost bust a gut.

Kevin just silently stared at them and ate his noodles.

Ein: "Hey, don't bully Kevin. He was trying his hardest back then to make a good team building exercise you know?" He snickered.

Mobius then grasped a bottle of wine and waved it around "Drink moooore Ein! Eden's liquor is too goooood to pass up~"

Mei just stood there, frozen. "Uhhh, what's going on here?"

Ein: "Ohhh! Mei-chan, come and sit. Have a bite, I cooked these. Elysia wanted to celebrate a bit because this is the 1st time I showed up."

Mei sat down sheepishly and stared at Elysia, Eden, and Mobius. "Um, you're awfully close huh? I thought Elysia and Eden fought you often?"

Ein was confused for a second "Ahhh, we did. And they would always lose." He laughed boisterously.

Elysia puffed her cheeks "Mou~ you're just inexhaustible you beast! Even when we turned into a MANTIS there was no difference." She pinched his sides with no effect whatsoever.

Eden giggled and gave Ein a soft kiss on his lips "Un, he has too much stamina Ellie. Mobius would always complain about it too."

Mei's eyes widened like saucers and then she blushed like a tomato. Realizing the meaning of Elysia's words. "You guys... Are lovers aren't you?" She said with disbelief.

Mei: Elysia can be understandable. But the soft spoken and elegant Eden? Participating in a... threesome is surreal. Not adding in Mobius, I just can't see it.

Elysia: "That's right~ Ein this bad man is so sinful. Catching our hearts, then playing with our bodies~" She fidgeted.

Mei then decided to drink for the very 1st time in her life.
