"President~"

"..."

"President—"

"..."

"President!"

"..."

"To that abyss, darker than black, more inky than darkness, I beseech my crimson gleam, for the moment of awakening has already arrived, O truth that has fallen into the realm of infallibility, transform into infinity..."

"Holy crap, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

The cat-orc man, who had been resting with his arms crossed against the makeshift command tower, suddenly opened his eyes, covered the girl's incessantly chattering cherry-like mouth, and exclaimed, "What the hell are you muttering?!"

The adorable girl with curly hair blinked her eyes innocently, her face full of naivety: "I'm casting an explosion spell!"

The cat-man broke out in a cold sweat and said in a dry voice, "That [Explosion Magic] you mentioned, it wouldn't happen to be the one that Lucia used when she encountered Futaba in the [Debate on Justice] individual battle, the one that could probably blow this command tower behind me to smithereens, right?"

"Well, there are some differences."

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled at the guild leader in front of her who had just breathed a sigh of relief: "Because Aunt Lucia's strength is too bad right now. Our side is a genuine epic-level, you know. Not to mention this command tower, if I finish reciting the spell, I can blow up the entire camp for you to see!"

The cat-man pulled his bristling tail to his chest and stroked it, then hesitated and asked, "Speaking of which, what did you call Lucy earlier?"

"Lucie is amazing! She fought Futaba to a standstill, and was even personally invited into the [Clown Card] by her. I admire her so much."

YOYO, the petite and beautiful new member of the Fire Reborn Guild who has been inseparable from the Typing Warrior these days, plopped down on the stool next to him and gave a lighthearted answer.

"I have a feeling that you might have accidentally revealed some very sensitive information."

The guild leader of the Fire Reborn Guild, the infamous Typing Warrior, narrowed his deep red vertical pupils and muttered something under his breath. But then, he immediately reverted to his usual nonchalant and irritating expression, picking his ear with his little finger as he asked, "So, what did you call me for?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you too, dear student council president—"

The girl pouted and said angrily, "Why did you ignore YOYO just now! If you use passive-aggressive tactics on a super beautiful girl like YOYO, you'll be unlucky with women not only in this life but also in the next!"

The typist twitched his lips and said in a dry voice, "I feel like your way of putting it is a bit subtle. What do you mean by 'not only'? What do you mean by 'also'? What do you mean by 'not having any luck with women'?"

YOYO: "Hey (≧≦)!"

"Why would there be magic that makes emoticons appear above my head?"

The typist casually complained, then shrugged and said, "I wasn't giving you the silent treatment just now. I was messaging the guys outside the secret area. They've been acting a bit crazy these past few days. I need to tell those bastards to tone it down."

Upon hearing this, YOYO chuckled and said, "What? Didn't anyone go after that Blue Hulk?"

"It's Lancelot, little YOYO, that handsome but mischievous guy with maxed-out strength, not some mutated blue giant."

Although he wasn't much older than the other person in theory, the Typing Warrior patted YOYO's head like he was coaxing a child and shrugged, saying, "It's not that they didn't chase after Blue Hulk; they just helped the Windbreaker Bird complete a few important missions in Ellet City under the name of the Fire Reborn Brigade."

YOYO nodded vigorously, then asked curiously, "Isn't this a good thing? Why do we need to make them tone it down?"

"Because although they meant well, it seems they forgot to mention this to the people from [Windbreaker Bird]."

The typist sighed, then changed the subject, saying with some relief, "Of course, they haven't forgotten everything; at least they remembered to go and collect their reward."

YOYO clapped her hands with a broad smile: "I see. In short, the brothers who were in charge of causing trouble for Lancelot just finished a few of the [Windbreaker Bird]'s unfinished tasks, and then collected the rewards for them, right?"

"No."

The typist clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying, "I already sent a message to Captain Luselle, telling them not to be so careless next time. It's a big club after all. Even though most of the main players have been called up here, they can't let their guard down in controlling the mission's progress. It was lucky that we [Burning Flame] ran into them this time, but then again, what if we hadn't run into them?"

YOYO thought for a moment and asked curiously, "If they don't run into us... will everything be alright?"

"Tsk tsk, Luselle said the same thing, mainly criticizing his short-sightedness."

The typist clicked his tongue and said helplessly, "Luckily, I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge and ignored him."

"Exactly, exactly! The student council president is so sensible, unlike those rabble!"

YOYO smiled obsequiously at the shameless scoundrel in front of her, while standing on tiptoe to massage the typing warrior's shoulders, and continued to ask, "So everyone has safely left the capital of Ellet?"

"Aside from Momo getting stabbed in the butt by those ungrateful members of the [Windbreaker Bird] and getting the [External Hemorrhoids] debuff, everyone else is generally safe."

The typist grinned, then changed the subject, saying somewhat nervously, "I'm mainly worried about Apo right now. That kid didn't go with everyone this time. After getting the intelligence from Weiwei An, he ran off to the southwest by himself."

YOYO nodded and began to press for details: "So?"

"So it's very possible that he bumped into that blue Hulk."

The typist stroked his chin with a worried look and sighed, "That guy is so strong, what if something happens to him... sigh, what should we do then?"

"I don't think it's that bad."

While YOYO was massaging the typing warrior's back with her soft little fists, she said quite objectively, "It's true that Lancelot is very strong, but Brother Po Douluo is not to be trifled with either. If I remember correctly, didn't he even win against Lancelot in the [Debate on Inquiry]?"

"What I'm saying is that Ah Po is too strong."

The typist lowered his head in sorrow and gritted his teeth, saying, "That kid is the kind of person who doesn't care about anything when he gets angry, and he doesn't understand the bigger picture at all. This time, I finally found an excuse to issue a kill order. If he accidentally finds out that Hulk and kills him, those bad guys will definitely find an excuse to restrict our freedom of movement!"

"That's true..."

YOYO nodded in deep agreement, then hesitated and said, "Then... how about I make a trip and kill Brother Po Douluo?"

"Forget it, that kid holds grudges fiercely, and his awareness is too good. Even if you attack from the shadows, he is very likely to remember your appearance, aura, or attack method."

The typist hesitated for a moment, then sighed and shook his head, saying, "If he holds a grudge against you, it doesn't matter. But given your past record, I'll probably have to take the blame in the end, so let's just forget about it."

YOYO: "Hey (//////)!"

"Okay~"

The Typing Warrior stretched and turned to YOYO, who was offering unsolicited help (even though she had almost been hit by an explosion spell earlier), asking, "So, why did you call me in such a hurry? Is something wrong?" "Nothing much~"

YOYO, with a fawning expression, hooked her arm around the typing warrior's and shook it vigorously while sweetly saying, "Mainly, I want to go to the Central Forbidden Zone to see what the lord of this secret realm looks like, so I was wondering if the guild leader is free, could you accompany the super cute YOYO along?"

"Ok?"

The typist frowned and casually said, "I do have time, but if you want to see what that lord looks like, why don't you go by yourself? Why drag me along?"

YOYO winked at the Typing Warrior: "Of course it's because you're so manly, President! I feel super safe when I'm with you!"

"Ok?"

The typist frowned and casually said, "I do have time, but if you want to see what that lord looks like, why don't you go by yourself? Why drag me along?"

YOYO smiled and said cheerfully, "Of course it's because I fell in love with you at first sight, President, and I want to find a chance to secretly have a fling with you!"

"Ok?"

The typist frowned and casually said, "I do have time, but if you want to see what that lord looks like, why don't you go by yourself? Why drag me along?"

YOYO sighed and said quietly, "Because YOYO is a member of [Burning Fire], and our reputation is really terrible. If we rashly go to the front line, we will easily be targeted. But if you, the guild leader, are by my side, who will notice the tiny bit of earwax next to a pile of dung?"

"A very apt description."

The typist nodded slightly and asked again, "So, what kind of bad thing are you planning to do?"

"Look at what you're saying! YOYO is so well-behaved and cute, how could she do anything bad?"

Upon hearing this, YOYO immediately put on a hurt expression, on the verge of tears, and said, "YOYO just wanted to contribute to the guild and steal the good loot dropped by the dungeon boss."

"Oh, so after you steal something, do you give it to the guild?"

"That won't happen."

"I remember you can become invisible, right? Why don't you just become invisible?"

"Because everyone will definitely not let this go easily. If we accidentally find out about YOYO, it will be very troublesome. It's better to take you, President, with us."

"Got it. To put it simply, you plan to steal the lord's loot without going through the distribution process, and do it under the name of [Burning Flame], so that everyone will forgive and forget about our contributions to this dungeon?"

"That's it!"

"Ha, can I kick you out of the guild now?"

"Sure, but do you think people will believe it?"

"..."

The typing warrior was uncharacteristically silent for a moment, then surprisingly smiled slightly and said, "I'm increasingly convinced that bringing you in was an extremely wise choice."

YOYO stuck out her tongue and chuckled, "I thought you, President, would find me a nuisance~"

"Of course I think you're a nuisance, but so what? Everyone in [Burning Fire] is a nuisance, a troublemaker, and a problem child. In fact, honest people like Momo and Brother Jie are the oddballs here."

The typing warrior let out a cryptic chuckle and shrugged, saying, "Of course, compared to you, little YOYO, our problems might be insignificant, but even so, [Burning Flame] won't shut her out just because she's a problem child with too many issues."

"Uh-huh."

Having understood the implication, YOYO immediately nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, and asked, "So, how exactly does one get rejected by [Fire Reborn]?"

"Rule without limits and evil without motive are not problems for us."

The typing warrior chuckled and said in a light tone, "【Rebirth】has only two bottom lines, and they are extremely common, so common that they'll make people laugh their heads off: 'love' and 'righteousness'."

YOYO, however, put away her playful smile and said in a more serious tone, "In any case, I will not do anything that would truly harm [Burning Flame], nor am I interested in violating any outrageous moral bottom lines."

"that's enough."

The typing warrior nodded slightly and gave a bright and cheerful smile: "I hope you don't mind. After all, as I just said, even among a bunch of problem children, you have the biggest problem. So even someone as magnanimous as me needs to hear your personal promise before I can feel at ease."

YOYO shrugged, revealing a rare, undisguised, alluring, and playful smile: "That's true, but I won't shirk any of the trouble I'm supposed to cause you."

"I never intended to get an epic-level henchman for free."

The typing warrior blinked and extended his right hand to YOYO: "So, how about a pleasant collaboration?"

"Although I'm not a big fan of these kinds of loyalty-praising tropes, well... it's a pleasure working with you, Chairman."

YOYO lazily gave the typing warrior a high five, then put on her usual innocent, cute, and slightly mischievous expression again, and said cheerfully, "By the way, I just asked casually, nothing more. If, well, YOYO is just saying 'if,' and I really did shatter those two bottom lines of our [Burning Flame], what would you do?"

"You will not."

The typing warrior shook his head and chuckled, "So this assumption is meaningless."

"Huh? Even if you trust YOYO that much, it won't do you any good!"

"No, I simply believe in myself."

"Do you believe you can keep an eye on me? Control me? Stop me when necessary?"

"Don't believe it?"

"Haha... I definitely wouldn't trust anyone else."

"Oh? So I'm such an amazing person."

"You...you're trying to trick me?"

"Look at what you're saying. As the saying goes, if you go to the toilet often, you're bound to get your shoes wet."
