The armor summoner will not be involved in the event

"If the power of the Star Giver is stable enough, the fact that it can enhance the Star Spirits alone will be enough to change the situation in the entire Imperial Hall."

These sincere words made Mirabel realize that she had stopped something because she was overly worried about her daughter's safety.

But when she thought of those star-givers who had turned into monsters, and looked at her daughter's stunning face that was praised as the reincarnation of the goddess of beauty, she did not change her words.

It would be too cruel to let Ilitia become like that.

The idea of ​​allowing Illitia to go was instantly extinguished, and Mirabel stated her decision as the head of the Lu family.

"Let Alice go. The girl will soon be officially on the battlefield. It would be good for her to try out actual combat in the Imperial Palace first. At least in Ekatoz, she can get more support than on the foreign front, and the margin for error is greater."

But the moment she made the decision, she realized that what she should do was not to inform Illytia, but to get around it first.

Compared to the eldest daughter Illitia, the second daughter Alice Lijie does not have all-round talents, but her ability to handle government affairs and etiquette are sufficient for a princess. She also has the largest star mark in the records of the Imperial Office. The star arts she has demonstrated during training so far are also overwhelmingly powerful. She is the candidate for the queen election supported by the entire Lu family.

If she told them in person that the people sent by the Lu family were Illitia's sister, would this make this sister who was not favored by the stars feel resentful and thus affect the relationship between the sisters?

"In that case, I'll go with you."

Ilitia said.

"Alice is not familiar with the handling of calming people's hearts. If she is overly distracted by the disaster-stricken people, it will probably have a great impact on the Lu family's struggle for control of the Holy Fruit of the Star."

Such a reason made it difficult for Mirabel to refuse, but looking at the look in her daughter's eyes, she was probably also thinking about changing the status quo.

"...Okay, be careful."

Mirabel finally agreed, feeling relieved that she would not hurt the feelings between her daughters but also worried about her eldest daughter.

"Yes."

Ilitia smiled.

It was really nice not to have to use the backup plan of teaming up with Hudola to attack his sister.

The first princess thought so.

【409】Regression

"Regression refers to the fact that when people are frustrated or face anxiety or stress, they usually give up more mature adaptation skills or methods and regress to some earlier, more primitive and childish way to cope with the current situation. It is a self-defense mechanism to prevent anxiety."

Said the thin man in a white coat with burn marks all over his face.

“Is it possible for a healthy adult male to regress?”

"That's possible. Even a mentally stable adult can have this happen after something they have always considered a pillar of support is taken away or destroyed."

"So, how regressive is it for an older adult male to call a younger beautiful girl "Auntie"?

"May I ask how old is that younger beautiful girl?"

the man asked politely.

"Auntie, can I go play now?"

Sitting obediently aside, he saw the adult man (physique) now asking the young lady with long glazed hair.

"No, wait for me, I'll take you out to play after I'm done with it."

Mi Jiexi turned her head and looked at the man. Her face showed no sadness or joy, but a calmness that went beyond her age.

"Okay, I think I know what kind of younger beautiful girl she is. Also, is it convenient for me to ask about your relationship?"

"……friend."

"If possible, I would like to negotiate with the family, because the treatment of this phenomenon is basically for the close people to find ways to make them realize that they have regressed. But if he was normal not long ago, you may be able to know what stimulated him to become like this. Knowing this will help him return to normal."

Mi Jie Xibi recalled what happened not long ago.

……

A young man who looked like he had just been beaten with his mouth and eyes open limped past the two of them.

"Alan?"

Alcaide called out to the other party.

"Arcade, you are here."

Allen, feeling his brain buzzing, heard someone calling his name and turned around.

"How did you get hurt like this?"

"I was beaten by the Overlord Alien. The old guy was really cruel and ruthless. He specifically attacked my drivers, causing me to open my mouth and close my eyes in order to protect them."

Alan pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.

"Overlord... an alien?"

"That's the gray weirdo who calls himself the Star Giver King. Didn't you see what's on the screen?"

"I saw a girl who was wearing a lot of clothes but had a very awkward feeling and was massacring someone. Also, a man in silver armor was beaten up."

"Didn't you see my battle situation?"

"Are you dressed as a woman?"

"He's wearing extreme armor! Extreme armor! Who's wearing women's clothes?!"

Alan said half annoyed.

"But I didn't get any benefits and was just beaten. Although you were a hero and saved the beauty, your summoner was taken away. No one can say who is the one who suffered the most."

"Summoner?"

"Yeah, wasn't the Wind Eagle Summoner taken away by someone whose name is unknown? Because you lost it, you can't combine your armor now, right?"

"No, I..."

Alcaide's voice stopped abruptly. Because of the other party's reminder, he found that the energy in his body used to combine the Wind Eagle Armor had not been replenished at all. Even when exposed to the sun, he had a premonition that it would not be able to combine successfully like before.

"Wind Eagle Armor, combined!"

The familiar blue light did not appear as he shouted, and there was a silent silence all around.

"Wind Eagle Armor, combined!"

"Combined! Combined! Combined!"

"Merge!"

The things that had accompanied him for such a long time disappeared as if they had been disconnected, and Alcaide knelt on the ground in despair.

Alan looked at Alcade's classic kneeling posture after losing his summoning ability, and couldn't help but think of the two summoners.

It’s just that one of them regained the summoning power not long after, and the other was a villain for a long time. Of course, both of them regained the summoning power in the end.

However, they are either the protagonists of the movie or important supporting characters. For a time traveler, there is no such thing as a fateful regaining of the summoning rights.

Wait, speaking of fate...

Alan had a bold idea.

He consumed the power of destiny and used the Eye of Destiny to look at Arcaid.

The golden power of destiny that had half fallen off the man's body exuded a fatal attraction that was irresistible to him in that unique vision.

[The price of receiving this power of destiny is a high probability that the individual will become mentally abnormal. ]

[If the other party succeeds in escaping this fate, they will conclude a fate of swearing to kill each other with the one who receives the fate, and their actions will inevitably lead to the result of killing each other. ]

[After collecting the opponent's destiny power, the destiny power will enter the state of not recognizing the owner. ]

[When the original owner of the power of destiny dies without recognizing the owner, the power of destiny will dissipate. 】

[According to the amount of destiny power collected, the duration of the unrecognized state increases. 】

"…Don't be too sad, brother."

Alan walked forward, hugged Arcaid affectionately, patted his back constantly, and pulled out handfuls of golden power of destiny.

"Even without a summoner, as long as you have a heart of justice, you are still an Armor Hero."

"...What is Armor Hero, uncle?"

[All the power of destiny that can be peeled off from the opponent has been stripped away. 】

[The duration of the power of destiny not recognizing its master is three years. 】

[It has been confirmed that the other party's mental abnormality is regressive. 】

"Hmm? Are you two uncle and nephew?"

Mi Jiexibi, who was watching them chatting like old friends, felt something was wrong.

Arcaid, who was released by Allen, heard the voice behind him and turned to look at her.

"Hmm? Ask me?"

"if not?"

After taking a closer look at Mi Jiexibi, he hesitated and replied, "Hello, Auntie, we are not uncle and nephew."

"A-Auntie?!!!!"

Mi Jie Xibi was choked by this name.

"Arcade, are you out of your mind?"

"Who is Alcaide?"

"Isn't that your name?"

"But my name is Pojun!"

"What's the name then?!"

Alan on the side seemed to be thinking about something.

So it’s Yaoguang——Alkaid?

[410] Alkaide: I can't bear it

Seeing Mi Jiexi leading Alcade out of the clinic with a sad face, Alan, who had been waiting for a long time, came over attentively.

"How to say?"

“…It’s regression.”

"Oh, it's really regressing."

“Do you know what regression is?”

"After suffering a great psychological trauma, he will become childish in his behavior because he wants to escape. It's not a big problem and the treatment is simple. Just accompany him for a while and then slowly let him return to the normal way of life of an adult."

"That's easy to say, the dog of the eight apostles."

"Hey, Miss Xudora, this is very rude. I am just an ordinary worker, not the dog of the Eight Apostles. It should be the other way around, they should be my dogs."

With the "savings" beyond imagination, Alan, who is now in a very peaceful mood, no longer pretends to be a humble worker.

Senior workers should decide how to treat their temporary supervisor based on their salary, mood and circumstances.

As the saying goes, if my monthly salary is 30,000, my boss is my father; if my monthly salary is 3,000, my boss is my grandson.

The eight apostles, his inferior superiors who do nothing but get their money from the Emperor of Heaven and whose salary is not even as good as that of regular soldiers, are now dispensable trash in Allen's eyes. If he had not found a suitable next job, he would have resigned long ago.

"I thought you came here this time to gather intelligence from the Imperial Office for the eight apostles."

"It's only a few dollars a month, and you expect me to come to a place like this to gather intelligence for them?"

Looking at the man's disdainful attitude, Mi Jiexibi was thinking about the possibility that the other party was acting for the eight apostles, while holding Alcade's hand tightly.

"Auntie, can you let me go? I want to go play."

"…would you like to look at your face and think about what to call me?"

"?"

"Bisso... Mr. Allen, do you have a mirror with you?"

Mi Jie Xibi had not held out any hope and only asked the other party to hide her sadness of losing her subordinates, but she did not expect that Alan would really hand her an exquisite hand mirror.

Looking at the other person's gentle and encouraging eyes, and then looking at the hand mirror that was obviously used by ladies, Mi Jiexi silently put aside the bad guess in her mind and handed it to Alcade.
