The Duke's chefs are truly exceptional; they're even better than Rem's.
"That's good." Crusch smiled gently.
She seemed to really want to entertain Shichen and the others well.
“Cursch, just say what you want to say. Aren’t we allies? There’s no need to be so polite with us,” Emilia asked directly.
"Ally... are you still willing to be our ally?" Crusch couldn't help but ask, glancing at the time.
She vividly remembers the power of time she witnessed in the throne hall of the royal city, and the feeling of being utterly helpless.
With people like that around, the alliance they proposed before was simply a joke.
Of course, the alliance they proposed earlier wasn't originally intended to strengthen the team.
“Of course we’re allies,” Emilia replied with a smile.
She is currently in a weak position, so there is no reason for her not to continue the alliance. Regardless of the other party's purpose, she knows that Crusch will not do anything to betray her during the alliance.
"Really? Thank you." Crusch looked at Emilia's sincere smile and couldn't help but smile back.
“Let’s get down to business. I don’t think you like people who ramble on like this,” Shi Chen interjected.
"Your Highness Shichen, you... seem to know me very well?" Crusch looked at Shichen.
"Just call me by my name. I've gotten to know your personality from the lobby."
In fact, Shi Chen already knew her personality well enough to know what she saw in the hall; she was upright and frank, yet also a little naive.
"I see. In that case, I'll get straight to the point. I want to form an alliance with Emilia and your allies, actually to deal with a certain great monster."
“A giant monster…” Emilia exclaimed in surprise.
In this world, everyone knows about the three great magical beasts. Needless to say, they are extremely dangerous and a huge threat. Moreover, they are magical beasts created by the Gluttony Witch.
“Yes, we want to defeat the White Whale, one of the three great magical beasts.” Crusch nodded; this was the main reason she wanted to form an alliance with Emilia.
Before the appointed time, Emilia had Rotswaal, the border lord, as her backer, and with his abilities as a court mage, he was indeed a great help.
Of course, it would be even better to form an alliance with the Sword Saint Reinhard, but there is no opportunity for such an alliance.
Moreover, her desire to attack the white whale was for her own personal reasons.
"Why do you want to hunt down the white whale?" Shichen asked.
Crusch didn't hesitate and asked directly, "You should have seen Mr. Wilhelm by now, right?"
"Yes, that old man is quite capable." Shi Chen nodded.
"Oh~ how powerful is it for you, Shichen?" Phyllis asked curiously.
“His swordsmanship is probably better than mine, but if we don’t compare swordsmanship, it will be over after just a few exchanges,” Shi Chen said bluntly.
He wasn't boasting; he might not be good at swordsmanship alone, but if it were just a contest of skill, that would be too easy.
With the combined power of various worlds, his fight against Wilhelm, known as the Sword Demon, was nothing more than a dimensional reduction attack.
After all, he was just a sword demon in this world.
"Wow~ Shichen, are you really that amazing?" Phyllis was a little skeptical.
"I won't boast about this, and I haven't even shown my true abilities yet," Shi Chen said with a smile, shaking his head.
"Shichen is still a Great Spirit Master." Emilia boasted with a hint of pride for some reason.
"Great Spirit Master?" Crusch looked at Shichen in confusion.
"Perfect timing, let you meet them. Otherwise, you might run into them and cause trouble. Besides, they want to have dinner with me."
As Shichen spoke, he summoned Esther and Betty.
Beside him, two beams of light, one silver and one gold, appeared, coalesced into human form, and then revealed their true forms.
Two exquisitely beautiful little girls.
However, Crusch and Phyllis would never judge them by their appearance. The moment the two appeared, they knew that they were elves, the highest-ranking elves in this world, great elves.
"Who are these two gentlemen?" Crusch couldn't help but ask, his tone full of respect.
The power of the Great Elves is far beyond that of the Micro Elves, and Crusch knows their strength all too well.
She never expected that Shichen would be able to form a contract with two great elves.
"Don't be so nervous, her name is Esther, her name is Beatrice."
"Lord Esther...Lord Beatrice..."
"Ah."
Betty nodded, then grabbed Shichen's hand with dissatisfaction: "Why introduce Esther first?"
"You're jealous about this?" Shi Chen said helplessly.
"Hmph~ the order is also very important."
"Betty, just give up. I'll stay by Chen-gege's side for now," Esther said calmly, a hint of smugness on her otherwise indifferent face.
"hateful!"
"You two, be careful, we're out here."
"What's there to worry about? This woman will be yours sooner or later... um!"
Shi Chen quickly covered Betty's mouth and then changed the subject: "Ahem, don't mind Betty's nonsense, let's get back to business."
"Um, I think I heard..."
"No, you misheard." Shichen interrupted Crusch directly.
“I heard it too…” Emilia added, her eyes showing concern.
"They are too!" Phyllis chimed in, joining in the fun.
"No, you misheard. Let's get down to business. You probably want my help, right?" Shi Chen said with a serious expression.
"All right......"
Crusch had no choice but to abandon her doubts and continue, "The reason Mr. Wilhelm serves me is because I promised him that I would help him find the white whale and defeat it."
"Old Master Wilhelm wants to hunt down the White Whale? Why?" Shi Chen asked, pretending not to know.
"I may not be able to answer this question directly, but I believe that if you ask, Mr. Wilhelm will tell you on his own initiative."
"I see..." Shi Chen nodded and fell silent.
Crusch looked at him, waiting for his answer; she desperately needed his help right now.
I wanted it even more than when I was in the throne room.
As for Rotswaal and the swordsman Reinhard, they are no longer of any importance.
Emilia made no move; she left the decision to Toki, since the other party had stated that the alliance's purpose was to secure Toki's position.
After a long silence, Shi Chen spoke: "I can help you, but can you afford the reward?"
"Compensation? What kind of compensation do you want? If I can do it..."
"Don't rush to conclusions, I haven't really thought about it either."

Chapter 517 Rem's Kiss
In the afternoon, Shichen lay on the lawn in the courtyard, leisurely watching Crusch and Wilhelm practice swordsmanship.
His posture was somewhat comfortable; he was lying on his side, with his head resting on Rem's lap.
Rem was also very happy; she had received Shichen's permission to stroke his hair.
Her small hand gently stroked Shichen's head, her fingers running through his hair, and her face beamed with an undisguised smile.
Shi Chen squinted, half asleep and half awake, watching Crusch and Wilhelm's figures constantly clashing, accompanied by the sound of swords clashing.
He wasn't interested in their sword practice; he was more interested in Rem's soft, warm thighs beneath his profile.
Even through the skirt, the sensation of touch against the skin and the royal capital was still undeniable.
Rem's legs are very fleshy; if she wore a booty, they would definitely be eye-catching.
Shichen wondered if Rem would agree to her request.
It shouldn't be difficult.
Under a clear blue sky and bright sunshine, Shichen almost fell asleep after resting his head on Rem's lap for only a short while.
Come to think of it, he's been in this world for over a month, and it hasn't rained yet.
Emilia was studying in her room. The books she was studying had been kept by Shichen when she arrived.
Since she wasn't in a hurry to go back, and had nothing else to do, and the matter had been settled, she continued studying in her room.
After all, Wang Xuan had just finished, and her motivation to learn was extremely strong.
Esther and Betty were playing chess in Shichen's room. They were being treated very well, with good food and drinks provided for them.
Crusch originally wanted to arrange a room for each of them, but the two of them resolutely refused.
They naturally had to sleep with Shichen.
Crusch didn't think much of it, but the adorable boy, Phyllis, couldn't help but tease him, saying that he was sleeping with two little girls.
Even Emilia suddenly became concerned, even though she had always known that he slept with the two of them.
But this is a good thing; she's starting to care, she's starting to get jealous, and she's starting to realize her own feelings.
The sound of swords clashing and rubbing against each other kept Shichen from falling asleep until, at a certain moment, the sound stopped.
The two finished their practice.
"Phew—thank you for your guidance, Mr. Wilhelm." Crusch took the towel brought by the servant, wiping the sweat from his face as he thanked her.
“It’s what I should do,” Wilhelm replied without batting an eye.
He acted as if he hadn't done anything at all.
That's normal. His strength is among the top tier in this world. Sword practice alone shouldn't tire him out.
