Seeing this almost obvious hint, a sly glint flashed in Tianze Yixia's eyes.

It's like in a Monopoly game, the GM just pulls out a box of banknotes and tells you:

This money is yours if you play with my daughter.

Faced with such temptation, Tianze Yixia naturally couldn't help but be tempted.

As a fifth-generation member of the Shiroya school, he is emotionally detached compared to Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

During her studies, she explored social psychology and micro-expression management.

Although his underlying nature of exploiting others has never changed.

But Tianze Yixia believed that making friends with a love-starved mechanical little girl would be a piece of cake!

If the price is right, she could become Oriana's best and closest confidante for life!

Even if she can't afford the props right now, just looking at the information that her father is suspected to be a "great inventor"... Tianze Yixia is willing to provide a wave of free friendly sponsorship first.

There was no way around it; she really wanted to improve in this damned black ball exam!

With that thought, Tianze Yixia flapped his wings and swooped straight toward Oriana's coordinates.

……

This is the entrance to the underground shelter at this moment.

Orianna was quietly guiding several intruders, who were clearly White House staff, toward the deeper underground air-raid shelter.

"Miss Clockwork, do you need help?"

Tianze Yixia landed lightly beside her.

She put on a sweet smile that looked harmless, like a girl next door.

Orianna turned and glanced at her.

"Come with me too, it's dangerous outside."

"We will protect you once we get down there."

Tianze Yixia's face showed a timely expression of sudden realization:

"So that's how it is... No wonder the radar showed the most green dots gathered here. Was this the shelter you specifically chose?"

"That must have been so hard on you..."

Her eyes were full of gratitude: "To be honest, as testers, our primary task right now is to find out which students have wandered in. With you here helping to gather everyone together, it really saves us a lot of time!"

As she spoke, Tianze Yixia asked tentatively, as if in casual conversation:

"However... as an official, you don't really need to intervene personally, do you? You can just sit back and observe the outcome."

Orianna turned to look at the refugees pouring into the subway station, her voice still flat:

"Perhaps it's unnecessary."

“But Dad said I can find friends here.”

"I'm not sure who my friends will be, so... I'll just save them all."

Upon hearing this line, Tianze Yixia smiled inwardly.

'Sure enough, this personality and thought process are exactly the same as the information revealed by the controller.'

'Yearning for love, yearning for bonds... that's too easy to grasp.'

She stepped forward, her voice even softer:

"Speaking of which, I saw a label on the controller...you're the Mysterious Merchant, right?"

Orianna paused.

At her command, a light barrier was created by the metal golem beside her.

Do you want to buy something?

Tianze Yixia nodded slightly:

"Although I know I am weak and I don't have many points... even if I spend them all, they probably won't be of much use against the monsters outside."

"But I still want to do my part to help everyone and save more people!"

The girl raised her head, her eyes clear: "Even if it only saves one more person, I'm willing to give everything!"

These words were powerful and deeply moving.

Orianna simply watched her silently.

Although Tianze Yixia's expressions, tone of voice, and even body language were perfect and there was nothing to criticize.

Deep down, she does indeed have a soft spot for such things.

But Tianze Yixia overlooked one thing.

After meeting Suvi, her "father," Orianna gained many additional things.

This includes modules for "emotional spectrum monitoring" and "malice perception".
