Quadruple split.

Chapter 2923 Elfin's Request
"We kissed!"

Reina immediately raised her chin and said confidently, "We definitely kissed!"

"Huh?!"

Elfin blinked, then covered her mouth and exclaimed softly, "Are you so sure? You saw it?"

"You can guess this without even seeing it."

Reina wagged her finger and said smugly, "Brother Hei Fan always runs over to Sister Luna. Those two are definitely up to no good!"

Elfin coughed lightly and lowered his voice to correct her, "That... it should be called something unclear."

"Oh, then let's leave it at that. Aibao, you always like to nitpick over these little things."

Reina grinned and continued, "Anyway, their relationship is ambiguous, they must have kissed!"

Elfin glanced at Mo Tan, who was completely paralyzed in place, then smiled and turned to the harpy loli who was flapping her wings at high speed: "What do you think, Lysa?"

"I don't know, but I've never seen Brother Hei Fan and the mentor kiss!"

Lysa spoke the truth honestly, saying with a serious face, "And it's not just Black Van who often comes to the mentor's place. There's also Romeo (Elfin: Lysa, Luna says you need to pay attention to your punctuation when you speak), wow, like... Uncle Romeo, Sister Sharia, Sister Asahi, and the witch sister before she left. Everyone often comes here to see the mentor."

Reina waved her hand and said seriously, "Girls don't count!"

"oh oh."

Lysa nodded vigorously, then hesitated and said, "It seems like only Uncle Romeo comes quite often."

"Uncle Romeo doesn't count either."

Elfin smiled slightly and said softly, "He came here mainly to provide materials for Sister Luna. As an otherworldly being, Uncle Romeo is also in charge of the transfer of some bounty materials. Most of the material lists in our village were prepared by Sister Luna."

Lysa: "...It seems like only Brother Black Van comes here often!"

"Very good, it seems the truth has become clear."

Reina's eyes lit up, and she said in an unquestionable tone, "Brother Black Vane really kisses Sister Luna all the time, right!"

Lysa excitedly spread her little wings: "Wow!"

Erfen blushed and clasped her hands together, exclaiming, "Wow!"

"Stop making that 'wow' sound."

Mo Tan sighed, lightly flicked Elfin's smooth, fair forehead, and said helplessly, "Since you even know that Romeo often comes here to transfer materials, how could you not know that Luna and I are not in that kind of relationship at all?"

"But Uncle Romeo certainly has a good reason to come here."

Elfin looked at Mo Tan with a smile, her eyes narrowing into two beautiful crescent moons, and said with a smile, "But Brother Hei Fan... anyway, my first reaction was to come and see Sister Luna."

"Coming here to see Luna was part of the reason, but that's only because she often forgets to rest and is addicted to staying up late."

Mo Tan gave a very sincere answer, shaking his head and saying, "That doesn't mean anything. If it were you, Elfen, and you were sick, the other children would definitely visit you often, including little Daglan and little Lotte."

Elfin paused for a moment, then with a somewhat subtle expression, she picked up her teacup to cover half of her face and said softly, "Brother Hei Fan is really wicked. Not only did he not try to 'not exist' as he had agreed, but he also dragged others into it."

"If you have malicious intentions..."

Mo Tan sipped his tea, raised his cup to Erfen in a toast, and chuckled, "Likewise."

"It's over."

Reina slumped her shoulders in frustration and muttered to herself, "Looks like this topic has to end here."

"Huh?"

Completely unaware of the situation and not realizing that their team's main damage dealer had been eliminated without a fight, Lysa asked curiously, "What? Is it over? Is it about the mentor and Brother Hei Fan?"

Reina nodded with a pained expression: "That's right, it was supposed to be a super sensational topic..."

"You have not yet met my lover."

Mo Tan smiled gently, put down his teacup, patted the two girls' heads, and then lazily lay down on the cloth mat, which wasn't uncomfortable because the soil underneath was quite soft: "When she comes over in a while, I'll introduce you to her."

Reina: "Ohhhhhh!!"

Lysa: "Yay! Is that Prince Wangyu?"

Reina: "...Huh? You know Lysa?"

"Yes, I know. My advisor told me about it."

Lysa nodded vigorously and said earnestly, "She said that Brother Black Van's partner is in the City of Light, and is the Holy Maiden of the Dawn Cult. She is very gentle and beautiful, and is an extremely likable girl."

Reina: "...Then why did you just discuss with us whether Brother Black Van and Sister Luna had ever kissed?"

Ryza: "Can't I discuss this together?!"

"No, this is clearly not a question that you can discuss together."

Reina covered her head and muttered something, then after organizing her thoughts for a while, she finally gave up explaining to Lysa, wagging her tail and smiling wryly, "But next time you have this kind of information, please share it earlier."

Lysa: "Oh!"

Okay~

Elfin clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Then shall the women's gathering officially begin?"

Rena (with lifeless eyes) / Lysa (with bright, alert eyes): "Okay—"

……

"So, Lott and Dagran must both be interested in Aibo, right?"

"Whoa, why are you suddenly bringing this up..."

"What do you mean? What do you mean? What happened to Lotte and Daglan, Aibao?"

"It means they all want to marry Aibao."

"But there's only one Aibo, not enough to go around!"

"...Even if you have two, you can't just divide them up randomly."

"If you ask me, I'm not interested in those little brats like Aibao."

"It's not that I'm not interested in little kids."

Which one of them are you interested in?

"Oh, no, not that."

"So they didn't have any before? Isn't it a bit too pitiful for Lotte and Dagran if they both wanted to marry Aibo!"

Now that you mention it, I feel a little pathetic.

"If you really felt sorry for yourself, you wouldn't be laughing so happily. Ai Bao really does prefer more mature guys, right?"

"Well, how should I put it, being too mature might not be a good option either."

"Like Uncle Daglan's big beard?"

"I think Uncle Dagland has gone beyond maturity, and you shouldn't gossip about married people!"

"Oh, so Romeo is an uncle too!"

"Uncle Romeo is indeed very charming."

"Aibao, you?!" "But I already said, I'm not really into the mature type."

"Uncle Romeo said he looks very handsome after shaving his beard and is extremely popular with girls!"

"That old man is just talking nonsense."

"I think it might be true, but if I really had to choose one, hmm... ah! I've got it, it has to be—"

"Are you going to start plotting something again?"

"Hey, Brother Hei Fan, why are you awake!"

"You just want to know if I'm awake, don't you?"

"Hehe~"

Elfin made a face at Mo Tan, who had reluctantly opened her eyes, then patted her skirt, stood up, and smiled at Reina and Lysa, saying, "You two chat for a while, I want to talk to Brother Hei Fan about a little secret."

"Oh, you're so naughty! You're sharing your little secrets but not telling us."

Reina made a face at Elfin, then hugged Lysa and laughed, "Then let's continue yesterday's topic. Lysa, is the potion you mentioned last time that can increase speed and strength and accelerate development easy to make?"

"Easy to do!"

Lysa answered without hesitation, saying with a smug look, "That potion is actually an improved version of Aibo's [Pride of the Young Lion], and the difficulty is much lower. Even I (Rina: Please slow down), well, even I can easily handle the alchemy process, and the material specifications are also lower."

"Then...can I have some?"

"Hey? Reina, would you like to drink that?"

"I'd like to drink it. I've always wanted to help. If I had that potion, I'd be a better fighter than Lotte anyway, maybe I could get a spot on the front lines."

"I'll have to ask my advisor about that later."

"Can't you refine it yourself?"

"But my mentor said that if I want to make something for someone else to use, I must ask her first."

Do you think Luna will agree?

"I don't know."

"That……"

"cough."

Mo Tan, who had stood up, suddenly cleared his throat, interrupting their conversation, and shook his head at the expectant Reina, saying, "This won't do."

Reina paused for a moment: "Won't Sister Luna agree?"

"I don't know if Luna will agree; it will probably depend on your physical condition and the effects of the medicine."

Mo Tan shrugged and gave a bright, cheerful smile: "But I will not agree to you going to the front lines to help."

Reina: "...Ah."

"Then you guys have fun first, I'll just keep this slightly mischievous little lady company for a bit."

Mo Tan stretched, then turned and slowly left with Erfen, who was already standing properly beside him.

……

A moment later
"Brother Hei Fan is really mean-spirited."

For some reason, Erfen repeated what she had just said, and then smiled before Mo Tan narrowed her eyes in preparation for a rebuttal: "But she's also very gentle."

"Not sending children to the battlefield is not a matter of kindness, but common sense."

Mo Tan shook his head and casually said, "Let alone me, any adult with a modicum of sense would not allow that girl to have such wild ideas."

"Rina isn't being willful; she just always wants to help everyone, and she really is very capable."

Elfin smiled slightly and said softly, "And when I say that Brother Black Fan is gentle, it's from Sister Luna's perspective. After all, she's a 'very sensible adult,' so Brother Black Fan, who is willing to play the role of 'the bad guy who bullies children,' is very gentle."

Mo Tan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then we'll just let you play this role from now on. I believe that if it's you, Erfen, they'll listen to you no matter how you try to persuade them."

"Not only is he malicious, but he also enjoys bullying young girls."

Elfin reached out and grabbed Mo Tan's sleeve, then changed the subject and asked, "If I agree, will there be any benefits?"

"No."

Mo Tan answered without hesitation, shrugging, "But you'll agree."

"I understand. I'll help explain to Reina. After all, as a child, she shouldn't have to face such cruel experiences that she can't even imagine."

Elfin readily agreed, then said softly, "However, there is something I'd like to ask you, Brother Black Fan."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, then stopped and smiled at Erfen, "So, is there anything I can do for you within my capabilities?"

"It was just a small favor for Brother Hei Fan."

Erfen laughed, then respectfully placed his hands in front of him and softly made his request: "I want to go to the front lines to help, and I hope you can agree, Brother Hei Fan."

Ink Sandalwood: 0.0
Erfen: (*▽*)
Mo Tan: "...?"

Elfin: "...?"

Mo Tan gave him a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Erfen shook his head, indicating that he was very serious.

"Ok."

Finally, after staring at the little lady for a few seconds, Mo Tan smiled wryly and got straight to the point: "If you're not making fun of me... then give me a reason that you think can convince me, child."

"The way they changed my address from 'madam' to 'child' from the very beginning, which set the tone in a way that was unfavorable to them."

Elfen looked up at Mo Tan, then took a deep breath and said softly without complaining, "Before explaining the reasons, I would like to introduce two people to Brother Hei Fan."

Mo Tan didn't waste any words, simply saying, "Okay."

Then, a figure that appeared to be semi-transparent, with a slightly hazy appearance but clearly a handsome man, appeared in front of Mo Tan. He had golden hair, wore an exquisitely crafted red hunting outfit, and had a beautiful one-handed sword hanging at his waist. His blue eyes, like Elfin's, were empty and deep, and he looked... very lacking in the feeling of being alive.

"This is my father."

Elfin extended his hand to the man beside him and said calmly, "Jürgen A. Heimda Janor."

Mo Tan nodded to the girl's father and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Eugen."

As expected, Jürgen did not respond.

Immediately afterwards, a woman with the same texture as Jurgen, also with blonde hair, wearing a beautiful gold and red dress, and a graceful figure, quietly emerged from the air.

“This is my mother, Ariel Silla.”

"Hello, Ms. Ariel."

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Brother Hei Fan."

"That is to say..."

"They are the reason I want to go to the front lines."
