"We're having a super awesome Kaslana party, all the VIPs will be there."
"But guess who isn't invited?!"
"You!"
"Go home, Tesla!"
Tesla sat up abruptly in bed, covered in cold sweat as if she had just had a terrible nightmare.
"F**K YOU!"
Doctor Tesla expressed her frustration with an American curse.
As soon as she woke up, she saw someone else sitting in her room.
"Cocolia? What are you doing in my room?"
Cocolia was also speechless, saying, "There are only a few people awake in this house. Should I go find Ryoma Raiden instead of you? We're not that close."
After all, she was the culprit who tricked Ryoma into experimenting on his own daughter.
"I originally wanted to see if you had also entered that Stigmata space. But I didn't expect you to have a nightmare instead of joining the Kaslana family reunion."
"I even saw the Herrscher of the Void's head floating on his body, connected to the Stigmata space."
Cocolia sat across from Doctor Tesla, holding a thermos of hot water. She seemed to have been waiting here for a while.
'What's wrong with this woman? Just like those boring formal parties, annoying.'
Tesla was also a bit thirsty when she woke up, so she took a cup and poured herself some of Cocolia's water.
"What are you, a foxy woman, up to?"
Doctor Tesla wasn't very polite to her. She planned to go back to sleep after asking.
"It's nothing, I just want to make up with you, Doctor Tesla. It's New Year's here in the Japan. As an Anti-Entropy executive, wouldn't it be nice to have a good relationship with another Anti-Entropy executive?"
Cocolia pushed the thermos between them, showing a certain degree of compromise.
"Don't tell me… you were scared by the fight between him and me?"
Doctor Tesla looked at Cocolia suspiciously. Cocolia wasn't usually this soft.
"You constructed the Moon Throne using your Herrscher powers, right?"
Although Cocolia phrased it as a question, her tone was very certain.
That power definitely felt like the Moon Throne. She had also learned about the progress of the Moon Throne project, and had some understanding of previous era technology.
"Ah, indeed… So what?"
"Did you hit him?" Cocolia only dared to ask this question secretly after Noldrei entered the Stigmata space.
"What does it have to do with you?! Whether I hit him or he dodged, it didn't hurt him, did it?"
Tesla didn't intend to tell Cocolia the entire process of the battle. And she definitely wasn't going to mention that Noldrei didn't even try to dodge.
If she said that, Cocolia would definitely betray Anti-Entropy without hesitation.
Speaking of which, Cocolia couldn't be considered a loyal subordinate of Anti-Entropy. As an executive, she had always had freedom. She was simply more free now under Noldrei.
"What do you want to cooperate on? I'm telling you now, I'm not confident that I can convince him to do anything."
Tesla didn't want to promise anything. She was afraid that she wasn't as good at scheming as this foxy woman, so she pretended to be useless.
"I know the Alliance Leader has assigned those children to you. You're not going to deny it, are you?"
Cocolia was referring to Welt handing over the education of those orphans to Tesla.
"Tsk, you even knew about that before the kids even arrived?"
Tesla knew that Welt Yang hadn't kept it a secret. But she still disliked Cocolia treating those orphans as bargaining chips.
"No, I don't intend to use them for anything. What I mean is, is it possible to let them participate in the living Stigmata experiment?"
"Don't even think about it!" Tesla immediately interrupted Cocolia. She didn't want those orphans to go through the same thing.
"You misunderstood. There are two types of living Stigmata that Noldrei has created. One is the replicable living Stigmata battlesuit, and the other is spinal implantation like yours. I'm suggesting having them participate in the living Stigmata battlesuit experiment. This experiment has minimal impact on them, and isn't this the experiment you support as well?"
"And under my guidance, they've all had experience using Stigmata, so they'll be more helpful to Noldrei's experiment. I just want to know what his next step is. If you can find out from Noldrei, I hope you'll let me know, and if I find out, I'll tell you in advance too."
Tesla didn't understand Cocolia's behavior.
Tesla asked in confusion, "If you just pester him a few more times and get hit by his tentacle whip, you'll probably get your answer. That guy doesn't really have a sense of secrecy, he's probably not even thinking about keeping secrets."
'You're addicted to being whipped, aren't you?'
Cocolia thought there was something wrong with Tesla. She wouldn't be bottling up eighty years of sexual repression just to get whipped for a moment.
'Does Tesla have some special hobby?'
"Did he do anything to you? I see you argue with him every day, don't tell me it's just to get whipped by his tentacles?"
Cocolia's question startled Tesla. Her twintails even floated up in surprise.
"Y-you, you, what do you mean?"
"Don't get so worked up. I'm just wondering because I see you've been whipped so many times, but you don't seem to have learned anything useful. Just wondering if you're trying to trick me into getting whipped as well."
Cocolia's straightforward words pierced Tesla's armor.
This eighty-year-old woman was still putting on an act. How old was she, and yet, she's still playing this outdated tsundere act.
Cocolia scoffed at Tesla's perverted hobby.
"N-nonsense! I'm not addicted!"
Tesla was embarrassed and angry, and she wished she could just cast an 'Obliviate' spell on Cocolia.
'She's flustered! She's definitely flustered!'
Cocolia decided to test her a little more.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know you're not addicted. After all, it's harmless, without side effects. And even if you're angry, just one whip and you become relaxed and happy again. It doesn't even waste much time. Perhaps, he's just a pervert?"
Tesla seemed to have found a way to clear herself, rambling, "That's right! He's a pervert! That future human Noldrei is a perverted fur-loving Hermes! A Teletubby lover! Always thinking of shameless ways to attack!"
"That pervert is into minors, into flesh and jelly, into slime, into eyeballs and organs!"
"I've never seen such a fetish. And he says that everyone in the future is like this. I think he's just lying!"
Cocolia was just trying to test the waters, but she hadn't expected Tesla to bite so hard.
Seeing more and more black tentacles appearing behind Tesla, there was no point in stopping her now.
'Her electromagnetic field is useless, she hasn't even noticed.'
But the shadows cast by the tentacles on the windowsill were increasing, and even Tesla realized that Noldrei had probably been woken up and heard everything she had said.
Cocolia confirmed that she had never seen such an expression before.
Such a complex mix of fear and anticipation. Tesla wanted to ask Cocolia for help, but she didn't run away. She looked like she was frozen in place.
The black tentacles instantly wrapped around Tesla's body,
Displaying the true form of the tentacle hentai world before Cocolia.
After a brief moment of stimulation, Tesla was casually thrown onto the bedding where she had just been sleeping.
The bedding was soaking wet. It was impossible to tell if it was sweat or other bodily fluids.
'I didn't come here to see this…'
Cocolia looked at Doctor Tesla, who had passed out with a satisfied smile on her face. For the sake of their working relationship, she got a new set of clean bedding for Doctor Tesla from the closet.
'This woman's mind, other than scientific research, is completely filled with eighty years of bottled-up sexual repression.'
Cocolia thought for a while and took a photo of Doctor Tesla with her phone.
Maybe she could use it sometime in the future?
Bronya was trembling, hiding in a corner. Was it okay for an underage girl like her to see this kind of thing?
Twintails, short, and a masochistic pervert.
'Doctor Tesla, did you steal your character design from someone named Kuroko Shirai?'
