Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1356 - 16: Little Girl

I want to see Alandia from when she was little.

"Now broadcasting the latest global developments. The ’Natural Liberation’ protests in the Northern Continent are still ongoing. An official spokesperson from the Union claims they will naturally subside within 3 months. Over the past few months, Zero Island, the Country, and the Empire have also seen similar activities emerge. Experts believe this is the indirect impact of the frequent giant dragon phenomena this year on the public’s mentality..."

years old... no, that’s too young. Between 10 and 11 years old, roughly the state of a fourth-grade primary schooler is easier to imagine. At that time, she should be a little taller than her peers, maybe even have the height of an average middle schooler? Would her face be cold or expressionless? I can’t imagine her being good at socializing, probably the latter... A silver-haired, expressionless girl standing out among a group of kids...

Oh no, that’s so cute. I’m pierced by my own delusion. Why is my imagination so vivid?

"As of the end of the month, three new Grotto Heavens have been confirmed in the Cangwu Province of the Empire, and the transmigrators have been properly settled by Everlight officials, currently in stable moods..."

Clothes... What would the clothes be like? Gongsun Ce unconsciously tightened his grip on the chopsticks in his hand; his vast knowledge hit a blind spot at this moment. He actually doesn’t know what the uniforms of primary school students in the Country look like! As soon as he thinks of this topic, the image of Zero Island elementary school students’ clothing naturally pops into his mind, but that obviously doesn’t match the style of girls from the Country... It would cause a character collapse in his mind, what to do! Could it be that I can only rely on my imagination?!

The young lady casually turned off the TV that nobody was watching, waved a hand in front of the head of the household: "Ah Ce, is your intelligence still there?"

Gongsun Ce, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, sat properly facing the TV, appearing on the surface to be a promising young man concerned with national affairs. But the girls were all very familiar with his behavior, knowing that when he acts so seriously, he must be making a fool of himself: after all, no matter how concerned with the world he is, it doesn’t warrant eating and drinking with an empty bowl that’s been long finished, nor the occasional strange murmurs.

"Little leather shoes... no, if it’s Alandia, maybe little boots... cotton white socks... easy to get dirty so must wash often..."

The girls all cast increasingly strange looks at Alandia, who replied while still cutting her steak.

"I think he’s imagining how I dressed as a child," Alandia said.

"Eh eh~~? From any angle, this idiot looks aroused!" Shiyu Ling exclaimed, "No, you don’t need to say, I know you’re right, but how did you arrive at that conclusion?"

Alandia explained: "Firstly, everyone chatted about their childhood lives for a bit leisurely yesterday afternoon. Secondly, last night Ah Ce and Miss Qin watched an anime about a Zero Island elementary school girl. Lastly, this afternoon he asked Miss Qiluo for photos from her childhood..."

"Sounds like a problematic person plotting a crime for the day. Shouldn’t we take some measures against Gongsun Ce?" Qiluo said.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce was still muttering words like "little yellow hat, short skirt, red socks," and the young lady expertly stomped on his foot. The head of the household suddenly jumped up, looking bewildered: "Who ambushed me?"

"Ah Ce, sit down and eat."

"Oh okay, oh okay... Damn, where’s the food? I just zoned out for a moment, why are the plates all empty?!"

"Remember to wash the dishes."

Thereafter, Gongsun Ce continued pondering during his bath, soaking in the tub for a whole hour, until his urgent need to shampoo made Shiyu Ling teleport him out. His contemplation of truth continued even in sleep, with the Impermanence Skill’s super-fast thinking making him try multiple combinations without finding the perfect imagination. A sudden impulse turned into an unsolvable mystery in contemplation, deeply troubling Gongsun Ce like the meaning of life, universe, and everything else, making him toss and turn all night. He finally decided to take action to resolve his doubts, purely for the sake of glimpsing truth with no personal agenda.

The next morning, Gongsun Ce temporarily took leave with the excuse of "seeking truth," and after waiting for the two college students to head out, Shiyu Ling went to shoot street scenes, and he caught up with Alandia who was about to visit Cangdu Library. At the door, he knelt on one knee and sincerely said, "Alandia, please listen to my earnest request—"

"I won’t turn into a child," Alandia said.

Gongsun Ce, full of enthusiasm, instantly turned into a statue, and the Dawn Knight cautiously bypassed him, only to be grabbed by the temporarily revived gargoyle before getting out the door.

"Please, Alandia! Just let me have a look, just one look!!"

Alandia turned half her face away, her gaze as indifferent as when they first met, looking down: "Ce, I will try to tolerate your hobbies... but even as lovers, I think this is too shameless..."

"It’s definitely not what you think, I’m just purely curious and want a peek, ah ah ah!" Gongsun Ce cried out, "Would you doubt my sincerity? How could I have any inappropriate thoughts about you!"

Alandia’s expression was subtle: "You daily have inappropriate thoughts about me."

"I don’t care, I don’t care, I want to see, I want to see!"

The head of the household began rolling around at the doorstep like a kid, and Alandia held her forehead with one hand.

"Sometimes I really don’t understand where your impulses come from."

"This question is like asking why a mountain climber wants to climb mountains, asking a martial artist why they want to become stronger. My answer is the same as those experts: because I want to see it!" Gongsun Ce put his hands together, his gaze determined like a truth seeker, "Please, even for just half a day, let me take a look!"
