"Because you have a check-up for your Spiritual Combing this afternoon. It’s urgent, so you can’t be here."
"Bro, you can’t do this!"
"I can," Mo Si said matter-of-factly. "I most certainly can."
"Bro, don’t be like this! Look at your poor, pitiful sister! I’m really, really—"
"You’ll still be sick tomorrow."
"Bro! I—"
"The day after tomorrow, too."
"How can you do this?! You’re such a dictator!"
"Make it four days."
Mo Chengyu fell silent.
In the end, justice was no match for tyranny, and she surrendered.
Mo Chengyu scurried upstairs in defeat. As she went, her cheeks were puffed with rage, and she looked as if she wanted to take a bite out of Mo Si.
The mont she returned to her room, her expression changed completely as she switched into full-on gossip mode.
’Wow, Bro was in such a hurry to get rid of ! He definitely wants to be alone! He must be afraid I’ll see a side of him he doesn’t usually show!’
’Will he be blushing and his heart racing like it’s their first eting? The great Admiral’s heart all aflutter, eting his idol?’
’No, no, no.’ Mo Chengyu felt she might be wrong about one thing. ’Maybe this isn’t the first ti he’s been blushing with a racing heart. After all, Bro has been watching that livestream for ages, holing himself up in his little room after eight o’clock every night.’
’For all I know, he’s already done his share of blushing and squealing while rolling around under the covers.’
’Thinking about it like that, all of her brother’s authority completely vanished.’
Of course, Mo Si had no idea what sort of strange fantasies Mo Chengyu was indulging in. If he had, he would have invoked the Mo Family’s disciplinary rules on the spot and given her a good thrashing.

「That afternoon.」
Ti passed in a flash. After "exiling" Mo Chengyu in the morning, Mo Si breathed a sigh of relief. The girl simply had no filter.
He wanted to et Jiang Qiuqiu simply to understand what this young lady—the one with such masterful techniques, superb cooking skills, and an outstanding Spirit Healing Ability—was like in person.
He wanted to better understand the mystery of how her spiritual power was transmitted through the Star Network, discover why she had dropped out of school, and—
find a way to recruit her as a Federation Soldier.
When Mo Chengyu opened her mouth, she spoke with the tone of soone recounting a bizarre story or a piece of sleazy tabloid gossip. It was one thing for her to say all that to him, but speaking to the young lady like that would be completely out of line.
By temporarily exiling her, he could pick a better ti to talk to her properly about Jiang Qiuqiu and order her to get a grip on herself. Then there would be no more problems.
But! Mo Si belatedly realized that if Mo Chengyu was going for her Spiritual Combing, Zuo Kai and the others would have to go with her. In that case, he would, by all rights, be the only person left in the small castle.
In other words, this afternoon... he would be alone with Jiang Qiuqiu.
Just as a whirlwind of chaotic scenarios played out in his mind, the doorbell rang.
"You have a visitor~"
"You have a visitor~"
...
The doorbell chid three tis in total. Mo Si was not in the habit of waiting or holding back. He rose and strode to the door.
On Ning Shen’s recomndation, Mo Si had worn a light-colored outfit today to make himself look more approachable. As he passed a robot in the living room, he caught his reflection on its tallic surface and adjusted his expression.
’She’s still just a young lady, and she’s all alone. He shouldn’t be too stern.’
’Then again, with a face like this, how much more stern could he possibly get?’
Even so, Mo Si softened his expression considerably and opened the door to the small castle.
The hair color, the eyes, the face, the expression he had imagined—none of it was there.
The door swung wide open. Rushing in with the light and a pleasant aroma was a perfectly, utterly standard—robot’s face.
The smile Mo Si had prepared froze on his face.
