Chapter 63: Chapter 63
"Nathan, eat this..."
"Nathan, try this..."
"Nathan, eat mine..."
The dinner ended amid the three women's attention.
If outsiders, especially men, saw this situation, they'd surely envy Nathan's good fortune.
But only Nathan, surrounded in the middle, understood this was like walking on a cliff edge... one wrong step meant falling into an abyss.
During dinner, others barely ate.
Especially Zhongli, who just watched with interest while Nathan was thoroughly fed!
After the meal, the three women's mood turned serious again.
"Now we should decide about Nathan's future allocation..."
Ningguang proposed first, while the other two remained silent.
"I suggest Nathan work at the Jade Chamber?"
"Wrong, Nathan should clearly be the Yuheng's assistant!"
Keqing immediately objected.
He was her childhood friend, he should belong to her.
"I think Nathan's talents should be used at Yuehai Pavilion!"
Ganyu suddenly spoke up.
All three women had the same thought - wanting to keep Nathan by their side.
"Um... I think I should choose freely..."
To prevent conflict, Nathan timidly raised his hand.
"Silence, Nathan just needs to watch quietly!"
"Silence, Nathan just needs to watch quietly!"
"Silence, Nathan just needs to watch quietly!"
His words were immediately rejected by the well-synchronized women.
The conflict reignited, battlefield flames instantly rekindled.
However, Zhongli interrupted them.
"Everyone, since you can't convince each other, why not let friend Nathan stay at our Funeral Parlor?"
Nathan was incredibly moved by this.
In the game, Zhongli had saved him countless times with shields, and now he was trying to rescue him from this battlefield!
He couldn't help but mentally shout: Zhongli... my superman!!!
"I think Zhongli's suggestion has merit."
After consideration, Ningguang nodded slightly.
Since none could convince the others, and all held high positions in the Qixing and Yuehai Pavilion, they couldn't really fight in reality.
Better to compromise, with no one's choice prevailing.
"Alright, I agree."
Ganyu agreed, pursing her lips. Placing Nathan at the Funeral Parlor, with the learned Zhongli...
Surely Zhongli, a man, wouldn't... steal him away?
"Wait, isn't Hu Tao the Funeral Parlor director?"
Keqing suddenly spoke up. In her memory, Hu Tao was a mischievous, energetic girl.
Would it be okay to put Nathan with such a girl?
"Director Hu Tao usually goes out at night, she'll rarely meet friend Nathan. I'm sure she'll agree."
Zhongli explained calmly, the first part mainly to ease Keqing's vigilance.
"Really won't meet?"
"Really."
Keqing's doubts weren't fully dispelled, but Zhongli nodded again.
"Fine, I'll trust your character, Zhongli. Please watch over Nathan for me!"
Due to Zhongli's usual reputation, Keqing finally agreed.
Nathan felt even more grateful to the Geo Archon for resolving the situation.
But if he knew Zhongli's true thoughts, he'd surely exclaim: Zhongli, you thick-browed scoundrel, you've learned to deceive!!!
Because the Geo Archon was thinking: Director Hu Tao, generally speaking, I've done you a big favor!
Of course... the one who asked for this favor was actually someone else.
It was the intention of the goddess sleeping in the Memory of Dust, seemingly very interested in Nathan's development with the girls...
If Nathan knew, he'd surely shout again: Guizhong, you're plotting against me!!!
As night fell, dinner at Wanmin Restaurant ended, and the three women indeed didn't linger.
Nathan followed Zhongli back to the Funeral Parlor residence.
........
The first ray of morning sunlight fell on the earth, awakening Liyue Harbor's early market.
Nathan opened his guest room door, stepping out refreshed.
Away from the oppressive battlefield of the three women, he had slept well.
As Zhongli said, he hadn't seen the mischievous Hu Tao at all.
Nathan was about to go out, hoping to learn from this master of slacking off!
But the dormant simulator system in his mind sent another message.
[Detected Yuheng Keqing arriving, will meet in one minute!]
Nathan stopped in his tracks.
Since when did his life simulator system have radar detection?
But if it was just Keqing visiting, he could handle it.
[Detected Tianquan Ningguang's movement, left Jade Chamber, heading to Funeral Parlor!]
[Detected Ganyu's movement, awake secretary intends to leave Yuehai Pavilion!]
Two more important messages appeared from the simulator system.
Both Ganyu and Ningguang were surely heading for Nathan.
If the three women met, wouldn't yesterday's battlefield repeat?
"No good, is there any way to avoid this?"
With one minute until meeting Keqing, Nathan frantically thought of a solution.
[The best solution now is to use the blue talent - Time Management Master: This talent's effect allows you to have ample time to navigate between multiple women!]
A blue card appeared in Nathan's mind, and like a drowning man, he grasped at this straw thrown by the system.
[Time Management Master talent effective, Ningguang and Ganyu have changed their minds, they'll come separately in the afternoon and evening.]
"Phew..."
Hearing the talent worked, Nathan sighed in relief.
"Nathan... open the door quickly, I have something important to discuss with you!!!"
Meanwhile, Keqing's sweet voice came from outside...
