Who brings people here then orders them around??

This one was talking to some people earlier. Is there really no way home?

[shizun]

This is not our world and so we should attempt to work with it as best we can, shouldn't we?

Not at the moment. Presumably, when we restore color to everything, we will be able to return.

[ AGAIN JUST KILL ME IF YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME!! WHILE THE QUEST IS STILL GOOD!!!!! ]

[whitelotus]

Not if it's telling us to do things that go against what is right.

And...Shizun has been here longer?

[ Look, the time thing hurts Binghe's head, it's just so weird.]

[shizun]

If it means that we can return to our homes sooner, would that not be what you would want most?

And I have been. A few months have passed since I have come here.

Has a lot of time passed back home? [ HAVE I BEEN TURNED INTO A HUMAN STICK?! ]

[whitelotus]

Maybe, but this one doesn't know who is asking people to do things.

MONTHS??

Just saw you before I came here ????????????????????????????

[shizun]

No one seems to.

Yes. [ ???

???????? !!!!!!!!!! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! ]

What do you mean that you just saw me?

[whitelotus]

This one just saw Shizun before arriving, we were in the Mausoleum before waking up here.

That makes no sense.

[shizun]

[ WHY WAS I IN A MAUSOLEUM!? ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU WERE PUTTING ME DOWN?! AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE UPSET NOW! I'M SORRY THAT I'M STILL KICKING! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DUNGEON?! ]

I also feel like a lot is not making sense.

[whitelotus]

No it is not, Shizun was right there then this one was right here.

The timing is not good.



[ Just thinks on it and then - Aha, lightbulb moment.]

When was the Conference?

[shizun]

[ YOU REALLY WANT TO GO AFTER EVERYTHING BAD, DON'T YOU? ]

Almost three years ago. [ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ]

[whitelotus]

It was much longer than that.

Shizun, does this place alter memories too?

[ Cause that's easier to think that timelines.]

[shizun]

Obviously.

It may have the means to do that.

[ He can't very well say: "It's an isekei. This shit don't make sense." ]

[whitelotus]

[ Just digests that for a moment. May or may not be silently vowing to destroy whoever is messing with his teacher's memories. Such a low and sneaky tactic!]

That means they took away a lot of your memories. It's been nearly eight.

[shizun]

[ HOLY SHIT, MAN.

Let's see, five years since Bing-ge has returned. Three years... ah?! AH?! That's really terrifying. Please don't attempt to recreate everything, okay?!!? Let's see... the blackening of my reputation must have happened already, which is probably why he's so surprised I have people that like me here!! I'm sorry?? I also don't get it?! ]

I see.

I apologize for how much I have forgotten. Since it is my memories, I can only be the one that can offer these words.

[whitelotus]

[ Wait, does this mean he doesn't know about the self-destruction?

How can that even be?

What is this place?]

It would be strange if this one started saying things that Shizun didn't know of. What is the last thing you remember before coming here?

[shizun]

[ The last? AGAIN, REALLY SORRY I DON'T REMEMBER ANY TORTURE!!!

Ahem. ]

Liu-shidi and I had helped deal with a matter involving succubi. [ Yeah, that's about what he remembers last. ]

[whitelotus]

[ What??

Okay this is just strange. Binghe isn't sure how to even deal with this. Would it be telling something he shouldn't if he mentions something that isn't remembered??

Maybe best to say nothing??]

Okay, this one will keep that in mind.

This one met your student earlier.

[shizun]

[ ................ ]

Which one?

[whitelotus]

Shizun has more than one???

Kaoru. She calls you SENSEI.

[shizun]

[ .................... f u c k. ]

A few people wished to learn from me, and since their dedication appears honest, I saw no reason not to allow it. They are not officially accepted into the sect, of course. So I suppose it is unofficially learning from me.

[ LET'S JUST GET THAT CLEAR!!! ]

Yes. Kaoru Akashi.

[whitelotus]

They are a very enthusiastic one. They must have some good skills if Shizun is training them.

[ How very dare. There's only room for one student! Except that little sister is kind of okay so maybe he can share. A little.]

They were talking about you.

[shizun]

Mmn.

[ Wait a second?! Are you thinking of having her be part of your harem?! No way!! N-O! I can't agree to that at all!! There's a bit of a gap there! I realize that you have a lot of age-gap sisters part of your harem, but!! NO WAY! NO WAY!! ]

No. I feel very sorry for her is all. Her skills are minimal and she can only do a few tricks. It is best not to get too ahead of yourself when thinking of her and what she says.

[whitelotus]

[ As if. All of Binghe's little sisters are forever doomed to be stuck in the friendzone. Such is their hardship.]

Does that mean you feel sorry for all of your students? If Shizun is training her then Shizun must see something in them. Though she said I was good looking and that you had things to say.

[shizun]

[ THE PROTAGONIST'S CHARM CANNOT BE MESSED WITH!! BUT I AM GONNA MESS WITH IT!!! ]

Yes. I merely had nothing to do and so this is purely meant to pass the time. There is nothing in them worth commenting on.

In fact, Kaoru Akashi is little more than an annoying pest that meddles more than she needs to in everything. If not for my boredom while here, I would have done something else. Anything else. She has no talent and no skill. If anything, she is more a burden than a boon.

Don't bother too much with her.

[whitelotus]

[ Binghe doesn't get it. Whenever people speak of Shen Qingqiu it's with an undeniable fondness, one that doesn't say anything of being treated badly. Meanwhile said person seems insistent on saying the complete opposite.]

If they were truly a burden then Shizun would not be teaching them. But, this one will take Shizun's word for it and talk to mèi mei about it later.
