Lierre stabilized Mobius. To prevent her from being out of touch with modern civilization for too long, she casually turned on a holographic projection, pulling up the relevant information while patiently explaining it to Mobius.
By the time she finished listening, Mobius had gained a certain understanding of modern civilization. She also understood that Schicksal was one of the large-scale organizations fighting against the Honkai, and that Valkyries were the frontline warriors in this fight.
Speaking of Valkyries, Mobius took the initiative to raise an objection, "I believe you have misunderstood my positioning. I am merely a scientist, not a warrior."
"Rather than having me hold you back on the battlefield, it would be better to let me stay in the laboratory and display my greatest value, don't you think~"
Mobius gently rested her right hand against her fair cheek, looking at Lierre with a soft gaze, as if waiting for a reply.
She didn't want to be under someone else's control forever and definitely had to find a way to break free from Lierre's grasp, so a fully equipped laboratory was absolutely essential.
"No, your setup conflicts with mine. How can there be two emperors in one court!"
Lierre righteously refused, "Besides, the cake is only so big. An extra person taking a slice means I get less. In order to support your research projects, my future research funding would likely shrink severely, so this is non-negotiable!"
How could she not guess Mobius's true thoughts? It was precisely because she knew that she found an excuse to reject her directly.
Unless Mobius's Rank or a certain Authority surpassed Lierre's, no matter how much energy and funds she invested in her experiments, she would ultimately just be making futile efforts.
Rather than letting Mobius waste resources, it would be better to have her do some activities other than experiments.
"Although this reason seems reasonable, it cannot withstand careful scrutiny."
Mobius scoffed lightly, "Everything is still up to you. However, I want to borrow the equipment in this research institute. This request shouldn't be considered too excessive, right?"
She had long observed her surroundings; although the equipment here couldn't compare to that in her own laboratory, it was still pretty good overall.
"I'm not stingy to that extent. You can use whatever you want in the research institute from now on."
Lierre generously waved her small hand. Currently, she was the only one using the equipment in the entire research institute, so she didn't mind having an extra person use them.
At this time, Lierre sent the experimental data for a new project to the holographic projection in front of Mobius.
"This is a new potion I developed. Its main function is to cure ordinary people infected by the Honkai. I plan to put you in charge of this project. I've already sent you the specific details."
The main reason why she chose to summon Mobius first instead of someone else was that she wanted to find a tool.
With Mobius's participation, the new potion would naturally be produced smoothly.
"You really aren't polite at all. I haven't even finished this cup of coffee, and you've already assigned me another chore. Since you trust me, just leave it to me with peace of mind. Who told me I couldn't resist~"
As Mobius browsed through the data, although she complained about Lierre's hegemony verbally, she was already planning to take the opportunity to siphon some funding out of it.
After all, if she only had tools in her hands but no materials, she wouldn't be able to conduct even a simple experiment.
"I didn't issue an absolute order to you. The reason I want you to take charge is because I trust you more. Of course, you have the right to refuse." Lierre glanced at her.
It seemed that Mobius had a big problem with her forcibly ordering her to dance earlier.
"I didn't mean to refuse."
Mobius's eyes shifted slightly. Feigning indifference, she took a small sip of coffee and changed the subject, "What are your plans for the future? If you're interested, you can talk to me about them. I might even be able to give you an idea or two."
"Once I finish one last thing, I won't have any reason to stay at Schicksal Headquarters either. At that time, I will leave Schicksal Headquarters with the Fire-Moth squad."
Lierre didn't hide anything and truthfully stated her future plans.
Hearing this, Mobius's mood instantly soured. She had been forced to join that Valkyrie squad.
In other words, when Lierre left Schicksal Headquarters, she would take her along as well.
But Mobius didn't want to run around everywhere; she just wanted to stay in the laboratory and conduct experiments.
"Mobius, I haven't officially submitted the funding application for this project yet, so there's no rush to prepare right now."
Lierre pointedly said, "Rita and Ana have been waiting outside for a long time. It just so happens that I'll have Ana show you around to get familiar with Schicksal Headquarters. She's also the partner you'll be working with from now on, so you two need to get along well."
"Captain? That frail little girl? Are you sure she can keep things under control?"
Mobius stared at her with a suspicious gaze.
"If she can't keep things under control, aren't I still here! Also, don't scare the little girl, don't trick her into eating weird things, and definitely don't put her on the operating table," Lierre reminded her.
"Relax, I have no interest in that little girl." Lacking enthusiasm, Mobius continued to drink her coffee.
Lierre's craftsmanship wasn't bad.
Afterward, Lierre went out and found Rita and Ana waiting outside, and Amber happened to be there as well.
Upon learning that Amber was there to help register Mobius's identity, Lierre took the opportunity to instruct Ana to tag along. Once the registration was complete, she was to take Mobius for a stroll to properly familiarize her with the layout.
As for why she didn't accompany Mobius, it was because she had other things to attend to.
Lierre was going to complete a matter of the utmost importance; this was one of her main purposes for coming to Schicksal.
In order to reduce the mass deaths of ordinary people caused by Honkai eruptions, she wanted to open up a special kind of battlefield, thereby circumventing civilian casualties in advance.
And the Fuzetsu from Shakugan no Shana, which isolated cause and effect, perfectly met Lierre's requirements.
Within the Fuzetsu, no matter how severely buildings were destroyed, people who died from the collateral damage of attacks would ultimately be restored to their original state.
However, the existing technology in this world could not realize it, so it required Lierre to use some special methods, such as the Great Prophecy Spell.
Therefore, producing a Fuzetsu emitter that could be applied globally, predict Honkai eruptions in advance, automatically search for zombies, Honkai Beasts, and Herrschers, emit healing auras... and a series of other functions, could not be done without Lierre.
Once it was produced.
At that time, even if she accidentally blew up the Earth while playing around, the Earth and the humans inside would be completely fine.
This was a gift Lierre was giving to humanity.
The day the machine was produced would be the day she rebelled against Schicksal!
As for Theresa, Lierre could only offer a heartfelt apology.
