Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Bronya put down her telescope.

She was back on the job.

But there hadn't been any new progress recently, which made Bronya somewhat worried.

How come Noldrei had been so well-behaved lately?

He was working honestly, developing his forces honestly, farming honestly. There was no sign of his previous recklessness.

At this rate, Bronya doubted that Miss Rita would get any useful information.

She had no choice but to follow from afar as best she could.

'Wait, there's no point in me following him, so why don't I just leave?'

After realizing that there was no point in following him, Bronya suddenly felt like the world had become much clearer.

She was going back to play games.

Not long after Bronya left, Noldrei and Raiden Mei encountered a rather speechless situation on the street.

A young couple was arguing. Judging by their words, it was a very dramatic topic.

"Please, don't leave me like this. I really haven't done those things again."

"Let go! Let go of me!"

"I won't!"

"Let go!"

Noldrei and Raiden Mei didn't understand what they were talking about, but they thought the scene was somewhat dramatic and funny.

Who would have thought they would encounter such a ridiculous domestic dispute while out for a stroll?

"You've lied to me so many times, just let me go!"

The man was still struggling, but how could the woman let go so easily?

She also cried and refused to let him leave.

"What's going on? Did the woman cheat?"

It wasn't just Noldrei and Raiden Mei who were watching the commotion; the surrounding people were also watching.

As the two argued back and forth, the surrounding crowd quickly learned the truth.

Apparently, the woman hadn't been behaving herself in the past. And due to the lockdown of Nagazora City for the construction of Academy City, she was caught and exposed by the man.

That's how they ended up like this.

If it weren't for Noldrei, the Nagazora Emperor, closing off the area and temporarily transferring Nagazora citizens, the man wouldn't have known how many other guys the woman was seeing.

"So it seems like it's the woman's fault."

Raiden Mei's thoughts still seemed to align with the traditional and conservative women of Japan. She thought that after cheating and indecent behavior was revealed, the man naturally had the right to leave.

"So that's it..."

Noldrei was a bit disappointed, he had thought it was a big deal.

"Mei, what do you think should be done about this?" Noldrei thought he should exercise his imperial right to judge. After all, he had no judge under him now, so he had to be the one to make the decision.

"It's their family matter, shouldn't we just stay out of it?"

Raiden Mei thought this kind of thing was like a pile of crap, and it was best to avoid it.

"So that's what you think. I think it's a simple matter. Just give the woman a new uterus. If she's still worried, just create a new hymen and make the man happy."

Noldrei completely failed to realize what he was saying.

Raiden Mei's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

"Mei, with the bio-genetic technology I'm helping you advance, you'll soon have cheap organ transplants. For women who have had multiple abortions, there's no need to worry about future fertility issues."

Raiden Mei was speechless.

'Is this about her organs?'

"Noldrei, people who love each other need to possess each other, or rather, offer each other some kind of ownership of their bodies."

Raiden Mei carefully explained. This was the concept of chastity that she understood.

She asked, "Don't you future humans have love?"

Upon hearing her question, Noldrei's expression was somewhat strange, as if he had just heard her say something ridiculous.

"They don't even have ownership of their own genes, what are you talking about offering ownership of their bodies to their lovers? As for love, we do have it in the future. But most of the time, it's not necessary."

"And besides, their genetic information all belongs to me. People only relinquish their power under two circumstances: when they can't do it themselves, and when they're not even aware of it."

Noldrei's tone was matter-of-fact. He also thought many people in this era suffered from love hysteria. But to maintain a good image in front of the primitives, Noldrei already knew what kind of attitude he needed to show them.

Raiden Mei realized, that Noldrei's understanding of how to govern modern humans was getting deeper and deeper.

This guy's learning speed was terrifying.

Noldrei pointed to the couple, saying, "I think they'll start fighting if they continue arguing, and it seems like the man is about to unleash his fists. Are you going to help this woman who is considered… morally inferior in your ethics?"

"......"

Raiden Mei hesitated. She really didn't know whether or not she should help this woman. If a fight did break out, she would just save her, that's all. But she knew this kind of rescue was meaningless. Even if she saved her now, the same thing would happen after she left.

"I have an idea I want to try. Do you want to join me and watch?"

Noldrei had a sudden inspiration and decided to test the limits of the people of this era.

"Huh? You can do that?"

Raiden Mei was shocked. She didn't expect Noldrei, this strange future human, to be able to handle such a domestic dispute.

This piqued Miss Mei's curiosity.

'He's not going to turn these two into hermaphroditic aliens, right?'

After Noldrei stepped in, he said to the couple, "You two won't reach a conclusion just by arguing, I have a good solution, do you want to hear it?"

The man, who was about to slap the woman, stopped and turned to look at the young man suspiciously.

Noldrei immediately started name-dropping, saying, "Why don't you listen to my advice? I have some standing in Nagazora City. Look! This is Miss Raiden Mei from the Ryoma Raiden family, and she currently works under me."

Ryoma Raiden's name was very influential. People within Academy City had been hearing it every day, almost to the point of numbness.

After Raiden Mei's background was revealed, the couple immediately became much more obedient.

'I've already learned how to handle these primitives.' The future human chuckled to himself.

Noldrei pointed at a nearby alley, saying, "Let's talk over there, find a place with fewer people, it's better than having the people around here watch and laugh. It's also better for your privacy."

There were indeed many onlookers. The people of Japan seemed to especially enjoy watching a good show.

When the future Prime Minister Abe kicked the bucket, many people wanted to get close to the cameras. Their spirit of watching the commotion was much stronger than ordinary people.

"Well, alright..." The man nodded, agreeing with Noldrei's suggestion.

The crowd, seeing there was nothing more to see, dispersed.

Noldrei and Raiden Mei brought the couple into the deserted alley.

He used a tentacle to pull over a billboard to block the alley entrance from view, and at the same time, silenced and hung up the couple.

Miss Mei watched in stunned silence. He had moved too fast, giving her no chance to stop him.

Raiden Mei couldn't help but admire Kiana.

'How can that person convince such a reckless person?'

Just then, the man watched as Noldrei took off the woman's clothes and reached into her abdomen.

That's right, inside her abdomen…

With a thud, the woman fainted from fright.
