Chapter 3: Chapter 2: The white-haired girl appears
[SR item Obtained:]
[A pair of Fatui's masks: A mask worn by Teyvat's twin to deceive and fool people. Once worn, no one will recognize you.]
"Huh? The Fatui's mask? Teyvat? Traveler…? Genshin? Eh?" Xuan muttered under his breath as he looked at the name and the description.
"So… With this mask, we can appear in front of the old antique, and she won't recognize us?" Senti wasn't even concerned about the name; the description was all she was interested in.
Heck, she was already fantasizing about standing in front of Hua, tormenting and teasing her.
"I might need the mask as well... Considering how much I resemble her; I can also use it as disguise too. And besides, double the fun," Xuan exchanged a knowing glance with Senti, who couldn't suppress a mischievous grin.
"Indeed, hehe~ I'm eager to witness the old antique's reaction when she sees both of us. Hahahaha, just imagining it brings such delight."
Senti paused, putting her hand on her chin, before her eyes widened in realization. "Xuan! How about you accompany me to prank the old antique and steal her clothes?"
She was doing everything in her power to restrain herself from just barging into St. Freya's academy to torment Hua.
"I don't mind," Xuan shrugged, before looking at Senti in exasperation. "You're drooling…" he pointed out, prompting Senti to wake up from her delusions and wipe her mouth.
"I will help you steal her clothes, and in return, you'll also help me," Fu Xuan coaxed Senti. Like an adult coaxing a child.
Senti nodded in agreement, giving a thumbs up. "Although I've only known you for a short time, I recognize you," she said, patting Xuan's shoulder.
For some reason, she felt it was nice to have her back covered by him, perhaps because she sensed he had the same urge as her to prank Hua through the [Soul Contract].
After a short nod of agreement, Xuan turned back to the blue panel section of the treasure chest, rubbing his hands in prayer to RNGesus. Opening his eyes with determination, he clicked on the treasure chest icon on the blue panel.
However—
[Go Again.]
"…?"
In simpler terms, Xuan didn't pull anything, not even a common item. The odds of this were impossible and unscientific, but it still happened.
"I don't believe this…" Xuan muttered in disbelief as he backed away shaking his head in disbelief. "Again!"
[Go Again.]
[Go Again.]
[Go Again.]
[Go Again.]
[Go Again.]
"F*ck! How the f*ck is this even possible!" Xuan screamed at the top of his lungs, his frustration boiling over as he stared at the blue panel.
His luck had always been bad, but it seemed to have hit a new low.
"Is this the legendary E rank luck?" he mused bitterly, resigning himself to his seemingly inevitable fate. E rank luck is often considered the first stage of accepting one's death.
"Hahahaha~ You can't hahaha, Xuan, your luck..." Senti couldn't contain her laughter, clutching her stomach as she wheezed with amusement at the [Go Again] prompts on the blue panel.
"F*ck, I'm going again!" Xuan exclaimed, dropping to his knees in frustration.
¹"God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Amaterasu, Shiva, Exodia's left arm, Exodia's right arm." He recited a litany of deities and mythical entities.
With trembling hands and a racing heart, Xuan reached for the blue panel and clicked on the treasure chest item again. Shutting his eyes tightly.
[SR item Obtained:]
[Broken Ultra stopwatch: Although the appearance is a little dilapidated, it has the ability to stop time for five seconds. Cooldown: One hour.]
Looking at the item in his hand and reading its description, Xuan fell to his knees in disbelief. Suddenly, he felt the urge to shout out loud. "ZA WORULDO!"
Seriously, this stopwatch, even though the stopping effect only lasts for a mere five seconds, what he could do with his physique in that short time was enough.
For him and Sentience, five seconds was more than enough in a fight.
Ignoring Xuan and his antics, Senti went towards the blue panel near Xuan and clicked on the treasure chest icon again.
²[Requiem Stands Experience Card: After using it, you can pick any requiem stand of your choice. Limited time: one hour.]
"Requiem stand? What's that?" Hua asked curiously, her gaze alternating between Xuan and the card in her hand.
Fu Xuan's mind subconsciously conjured an image of a stand behind Senti, along with Senti striking a pose straight out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Merely imagining it sent shivers down his spine.
"I don't know," Xuan replied, covering his face and turning away from Senti. His heart was weak, and he didn't dare entertain the idea of a muscular Senti, of all things.
Xuan's gaze drifted out the window; it was getting darker outside. Clearing his throat, he headed to his modest kitchen, swinging open the refrigerator door.
"There are a lot of ingredients, so it's time to show off my craftsmanship."
... There was a roar from the kitchen for a while...
"Are you sure these things can be eaten?" Senti asked, poking at the food on the table with a spoon. Some of it was black, emitting an unpleasant odor that filled the room.
"Ugh!" With a grimace, Senti grabbed the plate and hurled it to the ground, only to watch it rebound and collide with the door.
Feeling a deadly gaze locked on him, Xuan turned his gaze to the side, not daring to meet Senti's eyes or even look at the abomination he had served on the table.
"..... I haven't cooked in too long. Let's order takeout. Ha… Ha… Haha."
"I'm afraid my ethereal body will die if I eat that abomination," Senti remarked, rubbing her forehead. As Xuan skillfully took out his phone from his pocket, he changed the subject. "Let's order some Shenzhou food!"
"Sauce beef, roast duck, chicken stew with mushrooms, sausage flour, boiled meat slices, almond tofu." After making orders, Xuan looked towards Senti who reclined to his bedroom.
"Alright, I've made the order, we can start eating once the delivery arrives." With that said, Xuan approached the living room, sitting on his sofa.
As the host of the Herrsecher of Sentience, recalling the memories hidden withing the body were easy for him.
'Hm… Fu Xuan, 17 years old, a native of Shenzhou, currently a student in the high school of Chiba Academy, serving as the class monitor—'
—Knock! Knock! Knock!
Before Fu Xuan could fully immerse himself in recollection, a series of knocks interrupted his thoughts at the door.
"Has the takeout arrived already? So quick," Xuan mumbled, checking the time on his phone. After small calculation, Xuan was surprised. Only eight minutes had passed.
Dropping his phone back on the couch. He rose up, approaching the door.
Opening the door, standing outside was a white-haired, blue-eyed girl, visibly out of breath, clutching the takeout bag she was holding.
Xuan's eyes widened in great surprise, seeing the girl standing outside his door, as he subconsciously muttered. "You… Why are you here?"
"Eh? Class Monitor, so it was you who placed the order, and you ordered quite a feast." The white-haired girl with a wide grin gazed up at the young man who greeted her at the door.

[Editor's Note]:
At the end of each chapter, there would be this section to show some inconsistent plots I notice or what changes are made.
¹ — Mc in that part made a weird prayer about him single, and his little brother not active? It was something I could not wrap my head around, so I just kept that.
² — It was Experience something that was here, but after reading the next line, I came to a conclusion that it was a requiem stand of user's choice, since stands were mentioned. (I sincerely don't know if it's Requiem stands or the normal ones).
