(Thank you all so much for your support! I'll update with a chapter to celebrate! I'll write a separate chapter another day when there are more readers to express my gratitude.)

【Ta3 I want to ask about…】

"Well, since it's a team mission, the team should act together."

This was the first time Zuo Shi had seemed so unsure of himself. "No matter what, even if its power is reduced by 100 times, it's still a dragon... and a Dragon King at that."

With his fingers interlaced in front of him, Ye Qiu, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked up as if he had grasped a key point he had overlooked.

"This mission... doesn't have a time limit? Does that mean we can exploit a loophole and integrate into this world to survive?"

"That doesn't exist." The otaku replied while operating the PSP, "There is no time limit because the story will eventually come to an end as the plot progresses. Have you ever played Snake? Once you eat the longest piece, there's nowhere left to go."

"It was my oversight." Ye Qiu wasn't discouraged. He was born a superior, fulfilled individual, and even in this reincarnation world, being mediocre wasn't his style. "Actually, letting Thor go back is quite simple. Think about it, what's the reason for letting Thor stay?"

"Xiao Lin!"

The voices of the other five people overlapped perfectly.

“Yes, let’s start from here.” Ye Qiu smiled faintly, “Let’s get Thor and Kobayashi to break up.”

"Oh ho, is Little Ye planning to steal someone else's love?" Zuo Shi said with a delighted expression.

Faced with Zuo Shi's increasingly disgusting way of addressing him, Ye Qiu could no longer bear it. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "I don't like men, thank you."

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll let you get used to it gradually."

Tina's vision went black for a moment, then a small, fair hand appeared. It turned out that the otaku had put down his PSP and reached out to block her view.

"???"

"Don't look, it's an eyesore."

Okay, that's definitely an eyesore. Thanks, Tina thought to herself.

The topic of how to sow discord between Tohru and Kobayashi still needed to be discussed, and at this point, the uncle who had been just observing took the lead in proposing a solution.

"Do you know what overtime work is? Overtime work means staying up late, staying up late will cause baldness, and an overworked schedule will cause various additional diseases such as high blood sugar, or even premature death."

Everyone subconsciously looked up at the middle-aged man. His hairline was receding, and his face was weathered, with stubble and bloodshot eyes. Yet, his eyes were filled with an unprecedented energy because of his sudden burst of creativity.

This person has a story... Well, please allow me to retract my previous guess.

"Looks like... you've really suffered from this." Everyone had the basic conscience to refrain from reopening the old man's wounds, but Zuo Shi cut to the chase, his words hitting the nail on the head. "But what are you trying to say... that you're trying to make Xiaolin die young by working overtime? With that kind of energy, I'd rather just shoot her dead."

Although it doesn't seem impossible...

The uncle, whose sore spot had been exposed, glanced at him with a momentary sadness. He took the cigarette butt that had been extinguished for who knows how long, stubbed it out in the ashtray with an air of importance, and sneered, "Do you think a dragon would like a bald man? Thor will naturally lose interest in Kobayashi then. Of course... it would be even better if he really died young."

“Um…” Miki disagreed, “Based on my understanding of Thor, no matter what form Kobayashi takes, Thor will never abandon her.”

"Impossible! Isn't this a world that judges people by their looks?" The middle-aged man's tone was almost roaring.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts already beginning to sympathize with the uncle, whose backstory seemed far too colorful.

Suddenly, the office door was violently pushed open, and a figure strode in with a murderous aura.

"You bastards! What are you slacking off for! Have you finished writing the report I gave you?!"

"Reincarnator Passive Talent - Language Correction"

A middle-aged man with distinctive nose hairs and a receding hairline that stretched all the way to the back of his head glared fiercely at the fearless reincarnators. Feeling his authority challenged, he grew even more furious and pointed at Tina.

"Who brought this kid in? Get him out of here, and deduct all your bonuses for this month! And you there? Playing games during work hours? And you bunch of idiots, stop standing there like idiots, get your wages and start working like crazy! Otherwise, you won't get a single penny!"

"Listen, this is a new one. I need to see the report before I leave work. You have to finish it even if you don't have time to stay up all night!" With that, he slammed a document down.

The reincarnators exchanged bewildered glances. Ye Qiu picked up the report expressionlessly, looked at the words on the cover, and read them aloud in a low voice: "Hell Patrol System Engineering, Takiya Office... What a coincidence, isn't that the place where Kobayashi stayed?"

Looking at the work badge hanging on the chest of the person in front of me... the director of the firm?

With the director present, a normal programmer would have immediately turned on their computer and started working, but the current situation was so bizarre that it gave the director a chill.

After he had been speaking sternly and sternly for a long time, his usually obsequious subordinates were now completely unmoved, acting as if they were outsiders.

"You...you guys...aren't you going to work yet! Fine, are you going on strike with me?!" He was all bark and no bite.

"Programmer? They just assigned us this role outright? Interesting..." Ye Qiu was about to show off by starting a fire and burning the documents in his hand. Who would want to work for this director? But then...

"I have something to say, Director..."

A loud voice immediately drew everyone's attention; it was the uncle who had stepped forward for his grand plan.

However, it was the golden Desert Eagle, its guillotine ripped open, that stepped forward.

"You lot, get out of here. I have a few words to say to the station chief." The older man used a code to give his teammates a dismissal order, clearly preparing to act alone.

Then, the teammates cooperated by raising their hands and leaving the room one by one. Tina, as the last kind person to leave, even closed the door behind her, leaving behind an unfriendly-looking uncle and a bewildered director.

Uncle: I heard that your firm has a very capable guy named Xiaolin?

Director: Ah…yes, she, she is indeed very capable…she is…an outstanding employee.

"Well, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor. Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

"No, no, not at all... Please, please speak..."

Afterwards, everyone gathered outside the company.

"Let's split up and work together," Ye Qiu suggested. "As long as we don't confront the dragon head-on, any method is worth trying. If everyone works together from multiple directions, we might have a better chance of completing the mission."

"Ye Qiu... then, can I be in your group?" Miki only felt a sense of security with this popular guy for the time being, and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course." Ye Qiu felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of Zuo Shi, and hurriedly agreed, afraid that Mi Qi might change her mind.

"I'll team up with Tina!" the nerdy guy quickly said. "We have enough people in our group...we don't need anyone else!"

Ye Qiu sighed and said to Zuo Shi with a helpless expression, "Brother Zuo, you should form a group by yourself for now."

"They're all ostracizing me, tsk tsk, I hope you don't regret it..." Zuo Shi thought to himself, "How can someone with such high strength be ostracized everywhere?" Ye Qiu just said, "Forget it, what right do these two kids who only know how to play games have?"

"I'm fine with being in a group by myself, but let me make this clear: if I find out you two are just having fun and reaping the benefits all day long, don't blame me for being ruthless. The mission doesn't say you can't kill your teammates... Hehe."

These words were clearly directed at Tina and her companion, especially since the male gamer's gaming addiction was well-known; he had reached the unparalleled level of being able to remain calm and continue playing even in the face of danger, even if he was transported to another world.

"We will definitely do our best to complete the mission." What else could the nerdy guy say but agree for now?

"Pay attention to the information on your watch and stay connected at all times."

After Ye Qiu gave them the final contact information, the five of them set off from the same location in three different directions.

It was around four in the afternoon, the sun was gentle, and the two walked side by side on the wide road. On both sides, fallen petals and flowers were in full bloom, as if they had arrived at the entrance of a park.

Zhai Nan, who was always engrossed in games in front of everyone, surprisingly didn't touch his PSP this time. Of course, it wasn't because it was out of power, but because of Tina.

“Actually, I have a better idea.” Zhai Nan strolled leisurely with his hands behind his head, glancing at Tina’s reaction as he spoke seriously, “If I made you a maid to compete with Tohru for his affections, given Kobayashi’s original personality, he would definitely prefer a emotionless loli.”

"roll"

That's a simple and powerful answer.

Okay, let's move on from that topic and get back to that scene where they wanted to use the director to make things difficult for Xiaolin. It feels so familiar.

"Episode 5, Thor's Social Studies... if I remember correctly."

Okay, as expected, Tina, you're really better. Even a nerdy guy has to admit it.

When Miki recalled the general plot earlier, she didn't remember this point either. But thinking about it, it makes sense. A young girl's heart would be completely emptied by Kanna's cuteness, so she wouldn't have time to remember so much.

Zhai Nan vaguely felt that the timeline seemed to match. If it started from the fifth episode, Kanna was already in school, and Kobayashi had met Tohru's two friends, the world-class busty woman "Elcoa" and the young, handsome, sadistic butler "Fafner".

And at this hour, Kanna should still be at school, Kobayashi should still be busy at the company, and Tohru should be secretly watching Kobayashi... But...

Tina and Zhai Nan walked into the park and happened to see Xiao Lin and his family playing on a super high seesaw. The power of the dragon was undeniable in this scene. Thor and Kanna could easily launch each other to the second cosmic velocity with a simple jump. If Thor used this as a catapult launcher, it would probably be a question of how much of the Demon King's castle would be left after one launch.

Kobayashi certainly wouldn't dare participate in this kind of sport, not to mention the possibility of falling and getting smashed to pieces. But these two dragons... were having a fucking blast.

"Makya Bakuna!"

"Makya Bakuna!"

"Magey Bakuna! This is so much fun!"

Each time she taps the strings, she exclaims "Wow!"—that's naturally the adorable, round-faced, chubby-legged gothic lolita Kanna-chan.

The timeline doesn't seem to match up... although that's not the point anymore.

Yes, very cute.

While Tina praised Kanna and Thor for being adorable, a ripple of emotion stirred within her otherwise calm heart.

...It's really rare to find something that can move me so deeply.

In contrast, Zhai Nan beside him looked utterly pathetic, like someone whose red blood cells were evaporating too quickly.

You can stay calm when you're with Tina, but you react like this when you see Kanna-chan? That's too exaggerated.

"..."

Seeing Zhai Nan's hesitant expression, Tina felt a pang of pity and asked, "Do you have any last words?"

"I just want to ask... how many years will Shang Long be sentenced to?"
