"Huh? Is that Lumina and Herta?"
"What are they doing next to Robin?"
Meanwhile, in the real world, within the live stream, the player controlled their character, following Misha's trail to find Robin.
Soon, Robin's figure appeared on the screen, but she wasn't alone. Lumina and Herta stood pressed close to her, looking like a pair of lovers whispering secrets. Even Robin, the Cosmos's biggest star, was reduced to a mere human-shaped lightbulb beside them.
[I ship this. Anyone object?]
[No need for words. White on top, black on the bottom (smirking).]
[Bullshit about "white on top"! A pure and immaculate Saintess like Lumina was born to be beneath, to be defiled with hateful passion!]
[Am I the only one wondering why Lumina and Herta are even here?]
[An Emanator of Abundance, an Emanator of Erudition, and an Emanator of Nihility. When Penacony's final boss sees this, they'll probably rage quit on the spot! (smothered laughter)]
"Don't forget Jing Yuan from the Version PV! We have a total of four Emanators. I can't even imagine how the mastermind behind this is going to handle that situation."
Seeing this comment, Little Bear recalled the breathtaking scene of DHIL and Jing Yuan from the Version PV, and couldn't help but silently mourn for Sunday for a few minutes.
Even though Sunday's presence was undeniably imposing, it seemed impossible that he could be stronger than these four Emanators combined.
You can't just call yourself Sunday and actually be a god, can you? Little Bear thought to himself, already imagining the rest of the story: The Four Emanators Take Turns Annihilating Sunday.
Dismissing further speculation, Little Bear focused back on the screen, where Lumina and Herta stood so close together. The sight was undeniably pleasing to the eye.
"They're such a perfect match," he blurted out, "like an old married couple."
A moment later, Little Bear involuntarily voiced his assessment of Lumina and Herta.
As soon as the words left his lips, the comment section in the live stream erupted into a flurry of activity.
[Old married couple, if you don't understand, just ask: who's the husband and who's the wife?]
[Lumina's definitely the wife, she just has that virtuous wife look about her (smirking).]
[Miss Lumina, you wouldn't want Madam Herta's puppet to mysteriously disappear, would you? (laughing)]
[It's obvious Lumina's the wife! The Abundance Emanator's power is basically a natural aphrodisiac, right?]
"I actually think Herta's the wife," Little Bear countered, scrolling through the rapidly flowing comments.
"Think about it: Herta is an arrogant, self-assured genius with a touch of tsundere."
"And that type of person is almost always the one on the bottom."
"At least, everyone of that type I've ever met has been."
Watching the perfectly matched pair on the screen, Little Bear reasoned logically, and some "Black-and-White ship" fans in the live stream wholeheartedly agreed.
[Makes sense, makes sense! Lumina should definitely be the top. Geniuses like Madam Herta need to be brought down to earth and thoroughly dominated!]
[Hehehehe, any artists here? I want to see a doujinshi of this!]
[Bro, you're in luck! There's more than one Herta/Lumina doujinshi. Nine in total—all full-color, uncensored masterpieces that will go down in doujinshi history!]
[Special offer: Originally 1,000 yuan each, now only 648 yuan per copy!]
[Get the whole set of nine for a flat price of 4,998 yuan!]
[648 yuan for one doujinshi? You're robbing us blind!]
[So that's why Doujinshi Bro's been MIA lately—he's been working on something massive! (facepalm)]
[Ignoring the facts for a moment, Doujinshi Bro's actually a decent guy. At least he doesn't scam the poor. (crying)]
[Doujinshi Bro, could you send me a few sample pages? My little brother really wants to see them, he's dying to (sob sob sob)]
"Live stream chat, beware of online scams!" Seeing Doujinshi Bro resurface, Little Bear immediately kicked him out of the stream, then added a heartfelt warning, sounding just like a mother hen worrying over her chicks.
But this was something that probably didn't need his reminder.
A single doujinshi selling for 648 yuan? If that could still sell, the buyer would have to be completely out of their mind...
And by "out of their mind," I don't mean Doujinshi Seller is crazy for selling it—I mean the poor sap who actually pays 648 yuan for a doujinshi.
Anyone who's spent even a few days in the doujinshi scene knows that Lumina's stories are practically taboo—utterly impossible to depict.
Therefore, a genuine Lumina doujinshi simply couldn't exist on the market. This "Lumina × Herta" doujinshi Doujinshi Bro claims to have is undoubtedly fake.
Send him 648 yuan, and you'd probably get a Teletubby in return.
Still, gotta give credit where it's due—even though Doujinshi Bro is a scammer, he's got a bit of conscience.
After all, one doujinshi costs 648 yuan, and nine doujinshi cost 4,998 yuan—prices ordinary people can't afford.
Precisely because ordinary people can't afford them, they say the Doujinshi Seller has a conscience. After all, he never rips off the poor—doesn't that count as conscience?
Without overthinking it, Little Bear shifted his attention back to the game once the doujinshi debate in the comment section had completely died down. He controlled his character, guiding it toward Lumina and her companions, then pressed 'F' to initiate the dialogue sequence.
