Talulah, I'm still a child.
Page 171
Mei Xue's tail swayed gently. The little fox looked at Eureka with a strange expression. This was the first time he had ever seen someone's misfortune condense to such an extent that a dark cloud was hanging over their head. This level of misfortune would not only affect Eureka personally, but would also have a negative impact on those around them.
"Big sister, you should be more careful these days, your forehead looks dark."
"what?"
"It's because you look like you're going to have a lot of bad luck."
Mei Xue used a phrase that everyone could understand, which made Exusiai subconsciously move a little further away from Eureka.
Eureka fell silent, not because she felt offended, but because Mei Xue was right. In fact, Eureka had been an unlucky person since she was a child, the kind who could almost choke to death while drinking water.
She doesn't even know how to describe her childhood experiences. She would get into car accidents while walking, encounter fires on her way to school, and even be startled by meteorites falling from the sky while sleeping at home. As a result, she didn't have many friends when she was young, so it's really not easy for her to have grown up like this.
The key point is that although she wasn't so unlucky after growing up, her work was still very bumpy. She always got fired from a company after a short time, but because of her outstanding abilities, she could always find a new job. In fact, this was her fifth job in Laterano.
"Meixue, don't talk about people like that, it's very impolite."
"But... um, ma'am, would you like to move a little to the left?"
The little fox wagged his tail, saying this mainly because the dark clouds above Eureka's head weren't obscuring much of the left side.
"Ah, oh."
Eureka instinctively took a step to her left, and the next moment she heard a sound coming from above.
"Watch out!"
Before Eureka could react, a flowerpot bigger than her head smashed right where she had just been standing, startling her so much that she almost jumped up. If she had been hit, she would have been in the hospital for days, if not dead.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, it was windy just now and I was going to put it away!"
The Sakota residents on the second floor seemed very apologetic. Luckily, Eureka was alright, otherwise things could have been very different.
"Ah...it's nothing."
Eureka touched her chest. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Back then, she was hit by something and hospitalized for several days. The company paid her medical expenses and gave her some compensation before firing her. She didn't want that to happen again.
"I'm so sorry, would you like to come in and have a seat? I'd like you to have a cup of tea and rest for a while."
Seeing Eureka being entangled by that Lateran man, Remi'an patted Mei Xue's hand, signaling the little fox to leave. Their time was precious and shouldn't be wasted in a place like this.
As they walked, Exusiai didn't forget to nudge Mei Xue's arm.
"Hey Meixue, how did you know that person was going to be in trouble? I don't remember you having this ability before."
"Well... that's true before. After all, very few people are as unlucky as her, and I can't really see how lucky other people are."
Ultimately, it was mainly because Eureka's misfortune was too heavy, otherwise the little fox wouldn't have noticed. However, Mei Xue felt a sense of kinship with her, since both luck and misfortune are forms of fortune, and the little fox always had a better feeling towards this type of person.
"But the fact that she ran into Mei Xue proves that she might have had pretty good luck today?"
"No, I should say I was lucky."
Mei Xue gently swayed her tail. During that brief exchange, Mei Xue could clearly see that a large part of the misfortune on Eureka's body had been absorbed by one of her tails. Although she didn't know why, perhaps it was a good thing for her.
"Oh, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's hurry up and go. That dessert shop is very popular, and we might not be able to get a seat if we're late."
Mei Xue was puzzled by Exusiai's statement. Was she doubting her own luck? With the little fox around, could anything be certain?
"That person just now... could they really see my luck?"
Eureka was a bit confused. No matter what, this kind of metaphysical thing was too incredible. Couldn't we talk about science?
After finishing her apple and watching TV, Cecilia felt sleepy. She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and then lay down on the sofa to sleep, wanting to have sweet dreams.
In that dream, she and her mother would live happily with her father. Her mother said that what her father was doing was very important, and that the outside world was dangerous. But Cecilia had never really seen the outside world, and she didn't understand much.
"Mom and Dad..."
Cecilia murmured in her sleep, her consciousness rapidly sinking as she walked through a dream woven from memories, until she saw a door appear before her.
Driven by a sliver of curiosity, Cecilia reached out and knocked, but received no response. She tried a few more times, but there seemed to be no one on the other side of the door, so she had no choice but to give up somewhat helplessly.
Unbeknownst to Cecilia, her actions had caused quite a stir at the Sirens base in Iberia. Slapping her forehead, Amaya realized she needed to install a firewall for the mental network. Specter was at least connected to Mei Xue, so why was there another one who only knew how to knock but not how to open the door? Had Mei Xue not told him that the door opened outwards?
"Hiss... It's finally quiet. The new sister doesn't quite understand."
Shaking her head, Amaya focused her attention on the matter at hand, stroking her chin as she looked at the massive steel warship before her.
"I never thought it would actually be made! Natural Selection, it would be even better if it could actually fly."
"That's a bit of a technical hurdle for us right now, so please bear with it, big sister. At least this big guy can raze Granfaro to the ground with a single volley."
"It would be better to let Gatanothor smash its head against the continental shelf."
Amaya's criticisms were particularly sharp, but as Siren No. 250 said, this is the limit for the Sirens at present.
"Never mind, how's the situation on Agor's side compared to all this?"
"It's not that the situation is dire, but rather that there's little hope left. The surrounding cities have basically fallen, and it's truly remarkable that they're still holding on."
Besides their own side, the Sirens were also constantly monitoring the movements of the sea. Agor had undoubtedly underestimated the terror of the Sealings. According to the Sirens' reconnaissance, the Sealings' siege of Agor was nothing more than a land creature trampling on a grassland during its migration.
Of course, even with a ghost shark as a companion, it doesn't mean the sirens will have much affection for Agor. What they care more about are the ancient civilization ruins hidden deep in the sea, which have been silent for countless years.
"No matter what, those wild aquatic creatures are still somewhat useful. Let's send the sisters to help out of this predicament. The rest of you can come with me to the deep sea in a while and see what kind of thing this ancient civilization left behind."
Amaya waved her hand. Of course, for such an important matter, she still needed to consult with Mei Xue. If she could have the little fox's protection, then everything would be much easier.
"But sister, what if those sea creatures discover we're the enemy?"
"What else can we do? At worst, we'll just have a fight. The ocean is the graveyard of pre-civilization. Let's go see what kind of nonsense these ancestors wrote on their epitaphs."
Sealings and Originium, ancient civilizations destroyed for reasons unknown, Terra's tides and dust bury many unknown histories. Amaya knows very well that if the Sirens want to go to the stars, they must first understand what has sealed this world off.
There are other things, such as the stone coffin that Mei Xue gave him, and his own unpredictable abilities that completely defy the rules of the world. After hearing that the Sirens' supplies were conjured out of thin air, Levi's worldview was shaken, and he is still muttering that it is impossible while doing various calculations.
However, Amaya knew that Meixue was not something that could have been born in this world, and Terra didn't have that much power.
"By the way, have Garcia and Alfonso been sent back?"
"I've already won over the older sister. Garcia even gave me a bag of candy before I left."
In order to establish a cooperative relationship with Iberia, Alfonso and Garcia had to be played. There was no point in keeping them here anyway; once they were healed, they could be sent back, which was a way of showing sincerity.
"That's fine. Have the sisters pack their things. Tomorrow morning, fifty people will head to Agor, two hundred will come with me to the depths of the sea, and the remaining fifty will stay home."
"Two hundred people...isn't that too many?"
"Just in case, according to Hai Si, there is more than one Him in the deep sea. All the Master can give us is blessings. In the end, we will have to rely on ourselves."
Back then, it took four teams of deep-sea hunters just one kill. Even though the Sirens were far stronger than the hunters, they didn't think they were invincible. Caution is a good thing, for everyone, especially for the eldest sister. Besides Mei Xue's orders, Amaya's top priority was to protect her sisters' safety.
Mei Xue, sitting in the dessert shop, felt uneasy for some reason. The little fox's tail swayed slightly as he looked out the window. Fia Meta sat beside him, with Mostima and the Exia sisters in front of them.
"What's wrong, Meixue? Don't you like the pastries here?"
"It's nothing, the snacks here are great, I'm just feeling a little unwell."
Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, Mei Xue hugged her tail, put the cake in and then took it out, thus completing a copy. In the future, she could just take it out whenever she wanted to eat it.
"You're not feeling well, why don't you go back and rest first... Oh, so you and Xiao Le came directly to see me, and you don't have a place to stay yet, right?"
"Yes, I plan to stay at the Rhodes Island office. Kal'tsit said not to stay overnight or spend money on hotels."
It can only be said that Kal'tsit was very farsighted. At least at the Rhodes Island office, there was no need to worry about the little fox being stolen. If Meixue had lived with Exusiai or Mostima, well... maybe one of them would have to take maternity leave after this long holiday.
"You guys are really thoughtful."
Remien was speechless. It seemed that Rhodes Island really kept a close eye on Mei Xue, guarding against her like this.
"In that case, Fiameta and I will have to move in later."
Mostima picked up a piece of cake, put it in her mouth, and uttered a shocking statement that even Fiameta looked at her in astonishment.
"Don't be so surprised. The Pope told us to be responsible for protecting him."
"You bastard!"
Fiameta was furious. She had every reason to believe that it was Mostima's own problem. That old Pope was really something; couldn't he have asked for her opinion first?
Ignoring her sisters' commotion, Mei Xue just twitched her ears and bit her fork, still feeling uneasy for some reason. But perhaps because she could control her destiny, she could clearly sense that nothing bad would happen to her, not herself. Was it Rhodes Island? No, it couldn't be. There were so many people on Rhodes Island, and the Ursus authorities couldn't possibly do anything to it.
Is it the Reunion Movement? No, that doesn't mean either. The Reunion Movement is doing quite well right now. Mei Xue just saw a news report about their activity on the street. So it can only be the Amaya side!
"Sister, I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up later."
Mei Xue felt uneasy. He felt it was necessary to go and see what the Sirens were planning to do or if they had encountered any problems. After all, they were his friends, and the little fox couldn't just sit idly by.
"Okay, but why do I suddenly feel sleepy?"
"I want to have a dream."
Holding her tail and using it as a pillow, Mei Xue simply lay down on it. At the same moment, all the sirens heard the sound of dice rolling on the table. Specter, who was comforting Skadi by saying that Mei Xue would be back soon, also stopped what she was doing and simply lay down on Skadi.
The instant Mei Xue fell asleep, something beneath Lateran sped up its operation.
Chapter 226 The Little Fox's Majesty is Superfluous
"...I won't agree!"
Mei Xue looked serious, hands on her hips, shaking her head repeatedly, her tail swishing rapidly behind her. After hearing about Amaya and the others' plan, the little fox finally understood where her unease came from.
“Both Specter and Skadi told me before that the sea creatures are very dangerous. What if something happens to you with so few people?”
"We've given this a lot of thought."
Amaya, who is usually assertive in front of her sisters, couldn't even lift her head in front of Mei Xue. Well, the little fox is still a cute boy, but he has a kind of parental authority.
(Thinking about it carefully, Mei Xue's father and stuff... it seems pretty exciting.)
While the sirens were being scolded, they also thought that this dignified Mei Xue was quite nice. The little fox had always been a naturally cute character, and it was great that she could get angry like this.
"What have you considered?"
"Um... for example, I wanted to discuss this with you tonight, but I didn't expect you to suddenly call a meeting with us, Master."
Amaya could guess that something had happened here just because of Mei Xue's restlessness. She could only say that Mei Xue's abilities seemed to have become stronger again. However, the little fox's concern really warmed everyone's hearts. If Mei Xue didn't still look a bit angry, the Siren lolis would have surrounded him and taken advantage of him.
"I discussed it with you, but I still disagree. If you want to... well, you're not allowed to go."
At times like these, Mei Xue's control over the sirens becomes apparent. Ghost Shark marvels at the scene before him. The little fox, who is usually manipulated, is surprisingly assertive when it comes to the safety of those around her. It's truly unexpected.
Moreover, this group of Sirens, who could turn the entire Iberia upside down, actually obeyed this little fox's every command. It can only be said that every creature has its nemesis.
"This... Master, please let me finish."
