Chapter 56: Utter Chaos
“Master, what are you panicking about?”
“How can I not panic… If these feelings continue to amplify, won’t things become terrible?
No matter what emotion is taken to extremes, it will become hysterical and incredibly emotional, rendering words useless.
In reality, Xinran is already showing signs of that tendency. If her personality is already stubborn, she might become even more troublesome.
“Hehehe, you don’t need to do anything, just let it be.”
“That’s like saying nothing at all… If something really happens, how could we just let it be?
If we truly let things slide, wouldn’t we be waiting for death?
Xinran and Keling, I understand their personalities very well. On the outside, they might appear to be an enviable perfect sister duo, but only I know how willful they both are.
“No, you might have misunderstood my meaning. I’m not suggesting you give up resisting, but rather that you should just act according to your original intentions.”
“Huh? I don’t understand even more.”
“It means your natural disposition is suited to handling this situation. You don’t need to deliberately think of countermeasures. It’s more likely that overthinking will have the opposite effect.”
Oh, I roughly understand Lianbing’s meaning. She probably wants me to improvise.
I am indeed the type of person who prioritizes solving the immediate issue.
“But if we don’t prepare, won’t there be times when we encounter unsolvable situations? What should we do then?”
In fact, I’ve already regretted not doing anything after irreversible things happened many times.
It’s precisely because I don’t want to regret being unable to do anything that I want to prepare from the start.
Even if it’s just a little, I hope to move towards an outcome where nothing goes wrong.
“If it really doesn’t work out, then maybe we should just…?”
I suddenly opened my eyes and looked at Lianbing, noticing her expression wasn’t joking.
No, how could I possibly accept all of them? Those are Xinran and Keling. Unless my brain is broken, how could I do something so cruel?
“Don’t the sisters not suit your taste?”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
“Hehehe, this is a method that can resolve all disputes.”
F Light Novel
I should say Lianbing is indeed Lianbing. In the Mirror World, Ruansui also said something similar.
Establish a harmonious harem where everyone can be happy and no one gets hurt.
Really… If that hadn’t happened in the Mirror World, but in reality… I might not have had even a shred of desire to leave that place.
Speaking of which, it’s precisely because it was in the Mirror World that a harem could be possible. How could that be possible in reality?
In the end, it would only lead to one Shura Field after another, and falling into an abyss of no return.
“I feel like you’re deliberately or unintentionally egging me on…”
“Because if it really comes to that, this seemingly impossible method might be the most feasible. Of course, internal conflicts might arise after it’s realized, but that’s another matter, hehehe…”
She’s really enjoying herself. Lianbing, you’re just watching the spectacle unfold while staying out of it.
It seems that way, but has Lianbing truly regained control?
Because latent emotions could be amplified, potentially causing her to lose control, she’s amplifying her rational side to the extreme to suppress the emotional part. Being able to operate like a robot allocating memory usage is truly astonishing.
But this requires intense concentration, right? Can Lianbing really handle it?
I suddenly felt a bit worried. It’s like a spring compressed to its limit. When the string of reason can’t hold on and snaps under the pressure, will the rebound cause Lianbing to completely lose control—
“Master? Do you have any instructions?”
…No, it’s nothing.
No, I’m overthinking it. Lianbing can manage herself.
She’s so intelligent, how could she possibly be overwhelmed? Lianbing is the only one I don’t need to worry about.
I returned her smile, sat up straight, and asked her.
“How much time is left?”
“The current time is 4:45. You still have over an hour to rest. You can sleep peacefully. I’ll wake you up.”
“No, I’m not asking about the time to go to school. I’m asking, how long do you think it will take for Xinran and Keling’s feelings to be amplified to the point of losing control?”
Although this question is difficult to answer, if Lianbing, who was the first to be infected and has been resisting, could perhaps estimate the time limit.
As expected, Lianbing has never disappointed me. After a moment of thought, she gave a clear answer.
“Based on my rate of progression, it would take about a week to account for over 50%, nearly losing control.”
“A week? That’s so short.”
“After all, not everyone is like you and I, Master, who can consistently maintain reason over emotion. Ordinary people have much weaker resistance. The two younger sisters are more of a sentimental than rational type. A week is already the maximum. However, if they encounter certain special situations, like the argument in the bathroom just now, this time will be shorter.”
“It will shorten even further…”
…This is really troublesome. It seems best to limit their contact recently. Lianbing, I’m also asking you to keep an eye on them.
“Understood.”
Phew, since there’s still time left, I’ll sleep a bit longer… Resting my head on Lianbing’s lap is incredibly comfortable, almost on par with hugging her chest. Although her chest is softer, her lap also offers a view of the valley, so it’s also quite nice.
Speaking of which, it’s quite strange. Even though Lianbing hates me right now, our interactions are as close as before, and there’s no sense of distance.
Even though Lianbing hasn’t regained her memory, it’s really strange.
I never believed in things like past-life fate before, but now I’m starting to believe it a little. It might really exist.
“Wait, I want to ask, Lianbing, how did you deduce this speed? Can you quantify emotions?”
“It’s not really possible to quantify them into numerical values, but it’s possible to assess them by degree… May I say something disrespectful? Otherwise, it’s difficult to express this extent…”
“It’s alright, you can say whatever you want. … Previously, it was just an emotion of liking me. But after these past few days, it has turned into an emotion where I don’t even want to touch you. It’s now evolving into an emotion where I find it annoying to even breathe the same air as you. If it continues like this, it will further develop into an emotion where just thinking about your existence in this world makes me physically repulsed.”
“Haha… I’m sorry, I’m sorry for living in this world…”
After being told all that, who would still want to have their head pillowed? I should just go back to my room and hug my little pillow.
But just as I remembered, Lianbing grabbed my arm, sat back on the sofa, and then forcefully pressed down on my shoulders, forcing me to lie down on her lap again.
I didn’t expect her to let me lie down again. Given her current mood, she should be wishing I’d leave as soon as possible, right?
“So, this is just to express the degree. Although it’s truly from the heart, you should understand my current state.”
“Uh, I just don’t want to do things that make you hate me—”
“Right now, no matter what you do, it can’t change the fact that I hate you. Recovering your favorability is even more impossible, so please don’t concern yourself with my feelings, understand?”
She had already returned to her formalistic expression and tone as a maid. She was now admonishing me, her master, in her capacity as a servant.
“It’s only when I’m in contact with you that this feeling of dislike intensifies. This allows me to constantly remind myself that I’m in an abnormal state and thus maintain my rationality. So, you can consider this as assisting me.”
“This is like deliberately putting yourself in danger to maintain vigilance…”
“You could say that.”
But she still dislikes me. She shouldn’t be caring about me this much… Or is she truly slowly changing her inner feelings?
Thinking this, my admiration made me blurt it out.
“How… amazing…”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, I wish Xinran and Keling could control themselves like you do.”
“Hehehe, indeed. The two younger sisters are nothing like you.”
Even though that’s true… But don’t say it out loud…
We were born on the same day, but who knows why they are so different from me.
When I thought Xinran was my biological sister before, I felt she had some similarities with me, possibly inherited from Dad. But now that I know Keling is my biological sister, there are truly no similarities point. Death.
“The situation with the two younger sisters is more severe because they spend their days with you, so the impact on them is the greatest. They tend to become paranoid, and their emotions become extreme. This indicates a deep obsession they have with you. As their older brother, you should know where this obsession stems from.”
…I can’t resolve this.
“Indeed. Then, Master, try your best not to provoke or go against them. In this state where emotions will continue to magnify, their obsession with you will only deepen. Yelling like you did just now is a ‘NG’ behavior. It will make them feel unconvinced, leading them to think, ‘I’ll do better next time,’ meaning they’ll repeat the same mistake.”
“I see, so I should try to persuade them in a gentler way…”
“But you can’t completely agree with them either, otherwise it will be like fanning the flames, making them believe that what they are currently doing is right, and thus they will escalate.”
“This won’t do, and that won’t do either. What do you want me to do then?”
“So, you need to strike a balance. As I said, letting it be is the best course of action.”
So that’s why Lianbing gave me that advice earlier. She really thinks far ahead.
I let out a long sigh, relaxed my spirit, and said to Lianbing.
“…Somehow, Lianbing, you are very much like Miss Shirley now. You give me a sense of peace.”
“Is that so?”
Lianbing smiled sweetly. Her smile was incredibly beautiful.
“Hehehe, this is the highest praise for me.”
An angelic smile? A devilish smile?
Both.
Lianbing now, just like her black and white maid outfit, is in a state of being integrated, chaotic and indistinguishable.
She is also more charming than Lianbing has ever been.
Even though she hates me now, I still love her.
A young lady maid is simply wonderful!
