I'll kill you after I finish this game!

She even tolerated and loved her former enemy; I really don't know what to say about that woman.

"Lieutenant..."

Beatrice was helpless against her old friend, but thinking of Elunere's other parallel alternate self, she muttered with a hint of envy:

"I feel that Long Ming-sang is much better than our lieutenant in terms of womanly charm. Is this the difference between a married woman and an unmarried woman?"

"Kilchisesen!!!"

Elunere's forehead veins bulged, and a tangible flame burned in her eyes as she glared fiercely at Beatrice, the subordinate who had been criticizing her for lacking femininity.

Beatrice scratched the back of her head after being glared at, and gave an embarrassed smile.

Although Elunere was angry at Beatrice's words, what really angered her was her inability to refute them.

Perhaps she herself knows she lacks femininity.

Hearing her subordinates say that one of Mikado Ryūmeis was better than her made her feel conflicted and frustrated.

"Oh, right, besides Rhodes, who else are you going to give chocolates to, Rusalka?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to escalate into an argument, Lisa Brenner acted as a mediator, gently changing the subject with a smile and turning to Rusalka to continue asking questions.

Rusalka, who also didn't want to argue with the Red Knight Eluneore, blinked after hearing Lisa's words, then pointed to his lips with his finger and chuckled:

"Of course it should be given to Ren-chan~~~"

After all, he was the reincarnation of Rhodes. Although he hadn't recognized him before, their relationship was now quite friendly.

While Rusalka harbored friendly feelings towards Fujii Ren, his opinion of her was also quite complex and conflicted.

She is now rekindling her relationship with Rhodes thanks to Fujii Ren separating her sense of touch from her past life as an independent entity.

However, this makes Rusalka and Rhodes' relationship a romantic one, which complicates Rusalka's relationship with Fujii Ren.

Judging from her age and relationship, she could be considered a daughter, but also like a sister-in-law, or even more absurdly, a mother-in-law or a female version of her husband.

The more Rusalka thought about it, the more conflicted and complicated it became, so he was unwilling to delve into anything, only assuming that his relationship with Fujii Ren was close and friendly.

"Of course, I've known Bey for a long time. He married Claudia in the cycle of reincarnation, so I can give him chocolates as a blessing. And Spinne too—if I don't give him chocolates, I don't think anyone else will, right? And then the others..."

As he spoke, Rusalka looked at the bewildered Beatrice and asked her with a teasing grin:

"Hey, Valkyrie, may I give this to the Ring?"

"Why did you need to ask for my permission?"

Seeing Rusalka's grinning face, Beatrice was speechless.

Rusalka shrugged and said directly to him:

"If I don't do this, given your personality, you'll definitely nag me or Jie endlessly, right?"

Elunere and Lisa both agreed, saying that this was just the nature of Beatrice, that silly girl.

Everyone present knew what kind of idiot Beatrice was, except for her, who herself had no idea about her own personality.

"Don't talk nonsense, I... I wouldn't!!!"

Seeing the approving looks from Lisa and Eluneore, Beatrice, still feigning embarrassment, stubbornly continued, "I won't do that! Just give him the chocolates! Whatever you like! Whatever you both like! With that guy's gentle nature and popularity, he'll definitely get lots of chocolates. After all, Skadi is very confident in Jie's abilities..."

"Wow~~, you're just jealous~~~" Rusalka said with a smug look, teasing Beatrice as if trying to provoke her, "After all, Skadi is better than you in every way~~~"

"Shut up! You filthy witch!"

"Come on, let's not argue."

Lisa smiled and raised her hand to soothe Beatrice, whose forehead veins were bulging, gently comforting her:

"Given Jie's personality, no matter how many chocolates he receives, he will definitely still like the ones you send the most."

"It's ridiculous."

Elunere sneered sarcastically from the side.

But Lisa and everyone else present were already used to her behavior. Lisa ignored Elunere's taunts and picked up the chocolates she had made, addressing everyone:

“This is a rare opportunity. Ling’ai and Xiang Chun have already returned from the cycle of reincarnation. Even Lord Heydrich has acknowledged the two children. I also want to make it up to them. Now the only thing missing is the priest. But I also want to give the chocolate to him in the present world.”

Everyone present changed their expressions upon hearing this, and Elunere even smacked her lips under her breath in displeasure.

Heydrich personally went to pick up the twins, without keeping it a secret from anyone. After Wilhelm returned to report the situation, he took the time to go to the twins' place.

They all knew that the Lord they served, Reinhard, had not changed in essence, but some of the humanity that they had once known had returned.

After all, they had seen Reinhard when he was still human, and after being defeated by Fujii Ren once, he did undergo some subtle and minor changes.

It was precisely because of Heydrich's candid behavior that Lisa Brenner, after her reincarnation, also took the time to muster the courage to atone for the mistakes she had made.

Lisa has spoken with Ytzhak, whom she once feared and abandoned. The mother and son had a heart-to-heart talk after leaving the horror show stage.

Although the outcome is unknown, those familiar with Lisa can see a sense of breaking free from shackles in her.

"Ha, everyone has found their place and salvation in the new world. It's so good that the people sitting here are not that annoying Melcrius anymore."

The witch Rusalka sighed, but with that sigh came her unhappiness. Now relaxed, she brought up a topic that would calm the atmosphere:

"So...should we also send some Grey chocolates?"

"......"X3.

Lisa, Beatrice, and Eluneore were speechless, with the first two hesitating for a moment after hearing Rusalka's words.

Sending Grey chocolates?

The mystery surrounding Karl Craft, whose identity was once shrouded in secrecy, has been solved, but the mystery surrounding Grey Ncrough remains unshaken.

Just the fact that the other party was a close friend acknowledged by Melcrius and Reinhardt tells you how extraordinary and terrifying he is, yet they feel no fear whatsoever of Grey, with whom they once had a past.

Similarly, not even the slightest bit of hostility could be aroused.

Speaking of the mastermind behind the scenes, besides Mercury Serpent, the other party also has a part in it.

Knowing the truth, they should have hated Gray, they could have hated Gray... but strangely, they didn't.

Nowadays, those who have returned from the cycle of reincarnation rarely mention Gray's existence.

After helping to build the Pure Land of the Underworld, the other party disappeared without a trace, and apart from people of Reinhardt's level, they couldn't see them even if they wanted to.

They were all quite conflicted about whether or not to give Grey chocolates as a gift.

However, just as everyone except Elunere was struggling with their decision, crisp footsteps suddenly echoed through the hall of the Golden Demon City, accompanied by a pleasant, deep greeting.

"Ladies, excuse me."

The expressions of the group changed slightly, because they had not sensed the presence of the person before the sound and footsteps reached their ears.

You must know that this is Lord Heydrich's Golden Demon Castle. They bear holy marks on their bodies and, as the heroic spirits of the Golden Demon Castle, are most sensitive to the visits of outsiders.

But now, when faced with a sudden visit from a stranger, they don't even realize it until the person is right in front of them.

Surprised and puzzled, the crowd looked in the direction of the sound, and the figure they saw surprised them even more. Elunere raised an eyebrow when she saw the person's attire.

His jet-black military uniform bulged at the chest, and his black military cap and dark golden hair gave off an invisible sense of oppression. His azure eyes quietly looked at the ladies present.

She was a beautiful blonde woman dressed in clothing that looked familiar to everyone present, similar to German military uniforms; after all, the Iron Cross emblem on her uniform was quite eye-catching.

Moreover, as a fellow soldier, Elunere could sense the chilling aura emanating from the other woman.

"Excuse me... who are you?"

Beatrice was the first to come to her senses. Looking at the unfamiliar woman in military uniform, she tentatively asked her question.

“Adria von Bismarck, that is my name. I am here as a guest.”

Bismarck, who came from Reiji's side, remained calm and composed in the face of the probing gazes of the group. She reached out her hand, and several gift boxes slowly fell to the ground as the space in her palm rippled outwards. She then said, "In addition, on the orders of the Commander, I am here to deliver gifts to the ladies."

Commander? Someone who sent them gifts?

The group looked at the gift box that had landed in front of them, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.

After seeing the markings on the gift box, everyone present knew who the commander the woman was referring to was.

Elunere picked up the crimson gift box and examined it closely. Then, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Bismarck, saying in a deep voice:

“Elunere von Wittenberg, that’s my name. The commander you’re talking about is that guy Gray, right? But judging from your attire and your name, are you a German soldier?”

Everyone present was curious about this question; they wanted to know the answer to the question Elunere had asked.

After all, the surname Bismarck has a special meaning in Germany; it was the surname of a prominent figure on the European political stage in the second half of the 19th century.

Moreover, seeing the gift box, they knew that the other party was delivering the gift on Lei Zhe's orders. This eliminated their previous hesitation, since Lei Zhe had also given a gift, and they couldn't not reciprocate.

However, this woman in military uniform addresses Gray as "Commander," so what is her relationship with Gray?

"You could say that, or you could say that, after all, I'm not human."

Responding calmly, Bismarck did not intend to linger, but seeing the familiar Demon City and the person in front of her, she did not mind talking.

Not human?

The group exchanged glances. The witch Rusalka blinked curiously, her eyes gleaming with a mysterious light, and carefully examined Bismarck before her, saying:

"Hmm, I can't see through him, but he certainly doesn't have the aura that no one should have. Could you tell me his race? And, miss, you call that guy Gray the commander, what's your relationship with him?"

Has anyone ever told you that it's rude to look someone up like that?

When Bismarck saw Rusalka spying on her, her calm gaze only became slightly more serious, but it immediately made Rusalka break out in a cold sweat and stop spying on her with an embarrassed smile.

What the witch just 'saw' was the vision of her countless possibilities of certain destruction; this was Bismarck's retaliation for her impudent spying.

In terms of strength, Bismarck, who transformed from a ship girl into a demon god, could easily go toe-to-toe with a domineering god, so why would she care about a witch of this caliber? She is far inferior to Liselotte, who constantly studies magic in the port.

The witch Rusalka's performance also made Eluneore and Beatrice realize that the other party was incredibly powerful.

However, Bismarck, as a guest who brought gifts, didn't go too far. After giving Rusalka a warning, she casually introduced herself to Eluneore:

“You can think of me as a member or subordinate of the ‘Grey’ you mentioned. As for my race, I am a warship-type Oni-God. Perhaps this term sounds unfamiliar to you, but since you are a soldier, you must know about the Bismarck battleship. My predecessor was that battleship, so it is not wrong to say that I am a German soldier.”

"Ghost Machine God...Bismarck battleship!?"

Beatrice was completely dumbfounded. The former, the Ghost Machine God, mentioned the word "god" and thought it was very powerful, but the latter was extremely familiar and utterly unbelievable.

Even Elunere was stunned for a moment when she heard the introduction of the woman in front of her.

After all, everyone present had served in the German military and naturally knew about Nazi Germany in the late 1930s.

Built before World War II at the Hanns Blom shipyard, it was the lead ship of the Bismarck-class battleships, named after the former German Chancellor Bismarck.
