The SabbathCh20 - What can we do to redeem Xiao Mei’s aesthetically view?

We're recruiting a translator for this novel.

“Xiao Mei, don’t worry. I will pedal with my best effort to provide more energy for both of us.” That evening, Rong Gui pedaled for a whole night – not only to practice, but also to store energy.

“Why do I feel the electricity produced is not even as much as that which has been consumed?” Rong Gui, who pedaled until he ran out of power and had to call on Xiao Mei to take him down, couldn’t understand it at all. 7sFhJz

“You didn’t graduate from elementary school, did you?” Grabbing Rong Gui’s arms, Xiao Mei dragged him back to where the charger was, and said flatly.

Rong Gui’s limbs were completely immobilized, so he verbally refuted Xiao Mei with the remaining power inside him: “Why do you say so? I’ve graduated from elementary school! The school I went to was Nan Tian Road Elementary School.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Wasn’t the law of conservation of energy a part of the elementary school curriculum?” Xiao Mei continued to drag, drag, and drag. This bloke is too heavy. I can replace some parts of him if we have some lighter materials in the future. He thought.

“Nonsense! It’s not taught in elementary schools! I’ve forgotten almost all the content of the courses taken since middle school, but I remember very well what I learned from elementary school~ We were not taught about that law or whatever – by the way, what’s that law about?” POJfKN

Xiao Mei: “……”

But Rong Gui didn’t particularly mean to know the exact content of the law. He’s upset because his educational background was being questioned.

Yet, he’s only confident for a while. After a short time, only when Xiao Mei finally connected him to the charger did he whisper: “I said I was a college student when I was looking for a job at that time… It’s actually not true. I only finished high school.”

“My grades weren’t good, and to continue my study would be a waste of time. It’s better for me to drop out of school to work earlier. Rong Fu and other kids were better at their study than I was, so I could pay for their education by working. And then, when I become a big star, I can simply find a famous university to get in to gold-plate my educational background. Isn’t that what they say on TV?”

Xiao Mei didn’t speak.

Rong Gui also fell silent. He consumed too much energy and automatically went to the sleep mode.

In the dark room where the only lights were the green mushroom lamps, Xiao Mei kept working. Rong Gui was right by his side, forming a companionship in a strange kind of way.

When Rong Gui got up the next day, what he saw was the sight of Xiao Mei busying around. 5SY0KG

What would it look like when an ordinary person get busy? Everywhere must have been chaotic and messy, and the person himself would emanate an “I-am-very-busy-so-don’t-bother-me” kind of air, right?

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Yet, Xiao Mei was different when he got busy.

And this was one of the reasons why Rong Gui wanted to talk to Xiao Mei from time to time.

Although Xiao Mei often ignored his chatter, as long as Xiao Mei still responded to one of ten sentences he spoke, Rong Gui would feel that Xiao Mei in front of him was still a human being, a living human being.

Thus, Rong Gui, who had woken up, greeted Xiao Mei as always~

And then, he felt incredibly grateful that he woke up at this moment, because – GY8TMh

It’s really a bit frightening to see his roommate take his head off early in the morning, and even use a piece of something black to size up his own head back and forth.

But fortunately, Rong Gui knew that no one else was around. When only he and Xiao Mei were together, he felt less timid.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Good morning, Xiao Mei. What are you going to do by removing your head?” Look, he’s even calm enough to ask this kind of questions.

Xiao Mei, who happened to have his face look upward, said to him expressionlessly: “I want to install a dark energy panel overhead that can absorb dark matters.” nGpv4H

“Huh? Dark energy panel?” It’s another new term. But Rong Gui was quick to learn by analogy, so he soon made connections: “It’s something like a solar panel, isn’t it? You even have this?”

“Of course. I took it down from the place where your body was originally stored. If it were not for placing this dark energy panel, why would I build a roof when making the car? There’s no rain at this place, not to mention that the bodies of robots are rainproof.”

Rong Gui: “……”

This time, it’s Rong Gui’s turn to be speechless. W71L5E

He should have known earlier: Xiao Mei is a pragmatist through and through, and he would never do anything useless.

After all, that’s how the two of them got the current bodies which were so streamlined that there wasn’t even any decoration to slightly refine their body curves!

Once he thought about this, Rong Gui got a little mad.

“After installing the window part, there’s still a small piece left. I plan to install it to the top of our heads to facilitate the conversion of dark matters.” Xiao Mei said, sizing the small roundish piece in his hand over his head. 7qw3XJ

At this moment, Rong Gui’s heart collapsed in desperation!

“Wait, you mean – to install it to the top of our heads?” Rong Gui pointed to the top of Xiao Mei’s head, and then pointed to the small piece in his hand. After pointing back and forth for several times and getting an affirmative answer, Rong Gui the entire robot went unwell.

“To have it on the top of our heads – we’d become kappa!!!!!!! How could you come up with a look like this? Especially, I have just finished painting our hair! Urgh!” If Rong Gui really had hairs, they must have all been puffing up by now.

“Then, I’ll install it somewhere a little further back.” Xiao Mei didn’t have a preference for the panel’s placement, so he moved the small piece a little to the back of his head. 0uyWqd

“Then our scalp would look like the Mediterranean Sea – completely bald on the crown! AaaaghhHH!” Unable to express his indignation through the tone of his voice, Rong Gui could only shout out more modal particles to demonstrate his emotions.

“Stand back! Let me fix this!” Shoving Xiao Mei aside, Rong Gui rushed up to grab the small piece from Xiao Mei’s hand. After seeing another piece on the ground, he thought: This must be the one piece for him to wear. If he hadn’t woken up in time, both robots would have surely turned into kappa!

It’s simply intolerable.

Holding the two small pieces, Rong Gui thought deep and hard. 0EJzYB

Soon, he had a lightbulb moment.

“Xiao Mei, let’s make a hat~ If we embed the small piece onto the top of the hat, or its brim, it must look pretty cool and nice~” Coming up with a good idea, Rong Gui happily said.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“How about the materials?” With his head still lying on the ground, Xiao Mei asked him expressionlessly.

“Why do you ask me this question? I’m only responsible for thinking up the idea, and it depends on you to implement it in details. You can do it, Xiao Mei, go go go!” Holding up Xiao Mei’s head, Rong Gui warmly encouraged him once again. ayCYsK

And thus, the same day –

The tattered, hand-woven carpet which had been laid in Xiao Mei’s house for so long that it was almost integrated as part of the floor, was removed. It’s dismantled into the most primitive kind of threads, and Xiao Mei wove two hats from them. The small round piece was divided into more small round pieces to be attached to various places on the hat to make it pretty and to absorb dark matters from all angles.

All’s well that ends well.


Author has something to say: fj6aUu

Thanks for all your great discussion yesterday!

……

And – 

Thanks again for everyone’s correction. In your discussion, there’s something I know, and something I don’t know. When I searched in the direction of your discussion, I learned about more things. wMcfj

I feel my brain capacity has been filled up a little~

The main reason I like writing serials is that I like reading comments. Just as everyone is following my story every day, in fact, I’m also a follower of everyone’s comments.

I’m so glad that I started writing novels when I was a student. During the writing process, I received a lot of comments from everyone, some of which were about personal values, and some were about professional knowledge. You’ve taught me so many things not taught by school teachers. From every reader, I can absorb something I lack in myself. Then I’m able to progress little by little, and to become a better version of myself – it’s such a wonderful feeling.

Whenever this happens, it makes me happy. aTmLtn

Once more, thanks to you all.

Choo~

  1. Xiao Mei is that kind of person I would love to work with. Sometimes, I feel (extremely) anxious when I see people looking very busy and moving hurriedly like it’s the end of the world.

    This couple is really meant for each other. One provides ideas and the other materializes ( Is this the correct term? QQ) it lol

    /pats Xiao Mei

    The author is so nice! Makes me want to continue writing all those novels I never got to finish. Some were left unfinished for more than 5 years and some can’t move past the prologue or chapter 1 lmao

    Warmest thanks for this chapter, translator-san! Your worked hard. I hope you stay safe and healthy!

  2. Thank you for the update. These two cute robots are so funny. He’s so worried about looking like a Kappa 🤭 ❤
