QT: Against My Will

450 7.74 – Stinky Bun Hates Doors – War Of The Wickeds

If one looked closely at Bing Shi’s and Xuan Mu’s home, there was a chair missing from the dining area. Creak – a sound of hardwood being slid against a floor echoed inside the silent living room. Then there was another creak, followed by footsteps. A little toddler was pushing a chair across the apartment until it hit something hard. Bam!

Ying Xiong tilted his head to the side to see what he just hit. The couch. He manoeuvred the chair to the side and continued to push it ahead. Bam. He tilted his head again. Seeing the door to his daddy’s office before him, he stopped moving the chair and began to crawl on top of it. “Daddy daddy?” Baby Shiro, are you done working? Open the door, please.

Kuro materialized around Stinky Bun’s shoulders, tilting its head before the toddler’s face, looking him eye to eye. It didn’t know exactly how to take care of a child. Due to safety reasons, it had the least amount of contact with Baby Bun.

“Kuro, you don’t have to watch him so closely,” XiaoPu was holding a remote controller in his left hand while his right hand was holding Bing Shi’s homemade sandwich. He was currently watching his favourite series.

Ying Xiong pushed the snake’s head to the side and turned towards Xiao Pu, parting his mouth like a bird asking to be fed, “Pupu.”

Kuro retreated its head. As a system, it was slowly losing its purpose, “Does my Host no longer need me?”

“Just because she no longer gives you orders, doesn’t mean she doesn’t need you,” answered Xiao Pu, “She is going to take over the Host role in the next world. She will need you then for sure.”

No matter what answer Kuro would receive, it wouldn’t feel a thing about it, but gathering information was its forte, “Is Baby Shiro sad because hubby forbade us to play outside again?”

“There is an experienced system hacker, a powerful demon king and a veteran host outside. Keeping us hidden is the most reasonable option right now,” Xiao Pu chewed on the sandwich, pressed the pause button and hopped down the couch to share some food with his little brother, “Don’t talk with a full mouth, remember, we just swept the floor clean.”

.....

Ying Xiong puffed his full cheeks with a nod. His hand reached through the gap between the door and the frame and grabbed hold of the door’s handle. He pulled with all his might, but nothing happened. He tried again, this time with both hands.

Kuro tapped the tip of its tail against the handle, “If we become strong enough, we can go out to play again?”

“I guess so...” Xiao Pu sighed. The snake system made it sound easier than it was.

Ying Xiong suddenly slapped his palm against the door, shattering the wood in a shower of splinters. “Daddy!” Open up! he shouted. The wild hair on his head stuck out at all angles more crazily than before.

“...” The three pairs of eyes stared wide-mouthed as the remains of the floor flew open.

“The door...” Xiao Pu jumped in fright, tears fell down his eyes as he dropped the sandwich on the floor.

“It’s just a door,” Kuro sounded calm, swiping the shattered pieces of wood to the side. Since it didn’t have hands, it also summoned a cleaning robot to throw away the sandwich.

“No way, this isn’t just a door,” XiaoPu shook his head as he ran inside the office, “Something could have happened to Baby Shiro! Stinky Bun don’t move!”

Shaking his head, Ying Xiong got down from the chair and began to push it towards the shining glass wall at the back of daddy’s office.

Xiao Pu suddenly began to bite on his fingernails, remembering how in the past, the systems within the city would blow up one after another – causing a large misfortune to fall upon Xuan Mu’s space. It was a sure thing that Ying Xiong was going to get grounded again.

Instead of a usual bookshelf which would often decore this part of offices, the whole wall was made to contain a massive aquarium. The large tank seemed to be able to fill an entire room and was currently used as a working place for a shark.

The shark behind the aquarium glass was swimming with its tummy facing the ceiling. Its mouth opened slightly, showing two rows of teeth, each with many pointed fangs, “Hey guys, what are you doing here?”

“Are you alright?” Kuro asked as Xiao Pu sighed in relief.

Baby Shiro flipped around into a correct position, starting a body scan, “The door took the hit in my stead it seems.”

Stinky bun poked at the tank with his index finger, staring at Baby Shiro’s mouth. He stood still and silent, looking at the fangs moving, “Daddy, daddy?” Baby Shiro let’s watch a movie together.

Baby Shiro shook its head. Though it didn’t understand Stinky Bun’s words, the boy’s intention was as clear as day. The city needed some adjustments still. Without them, its creator’s son wouldn’t be able to go out to buy groceries for example.

Ying Xiong pressed his little face against the glass, peering at the inside of the tank. He looked like a child waiting for a present, and his expression was full of expectation, “Daddy, daddy.” It’s going to start soon. Baby Shiro can watch it with Stinky Bun while working.

To prevent another mishap from happening, Xiao Pu sat in front of the TV screen. Instead of his favourite series, he began watching the latest news on a channel Stinky Bun liked to watch, but he wasn’t really listening to the car crashes being reported. He was thinking about what had happened earlier.

Perking his ears, Ying Xiong heard the familiar’s reporter’s voice and trotted back to the living room. Crawling up next to Xiao Pu, “Pupu!” It’s starting! He tugged at his ‘little’ brother’s sleeve and watched the various truck accidents on the TV with his round black eyes.
