Talulah, I'm still a child.

Chapter 139 The Chuunibyou Little Fox

"Was that Miss Theresa's voice just now?"

Amiya looked at the Doctor with some confusion, then glanced at Theresa sitting next to her. She couldn't be mistaken; it was definitely Theresa's voice.

Moreover, that tone, though it sounded very resolute, was indeed that of the Theresa they knew.

"It seems Theresa has truly recovered. Hmm, but is she planning to use the emperor to command the feudal lords?"

The young lady touched her chin with some curiosity, ignoring the questioning gazes of the carrion eaters and others, and muttered to herself, not caring that she would be overheard.

"This shouldn't be happening,"

Chapter 140 Mei Xue, rejected by her wife

"Strange, why do I feel a chill down my spine?"

Mei Xue couldn't help but shiver. The little fox, who had finished her preparations, seemed very satisfied with her success. Well, a perfect score is ten!

If it weren't for his harmless and adorable appearance, making him unsuitable as a villain, he should be pulling out his belt right now, ready to transform into a snake-skinned monster (why is all of this rhyming? What's wrong with your mental state, author?).

Seeing Mei Xue's face light up with joy, Surtr realized it was a wise decision not to let him say those words earlier. With Mei Xue's voice, even if she said something harsh, people would just think she was being cute and whiny.

Chapter 141 Oh no! A friendly fire attack!

"here it is……"

There was no water, not even the hem of her clothes got wet, as if everything just now was an illusion. However, Texas quickly realized that it might just be some kind of way to separate them. She looked around and found herself in the wilderness, with no place that could be called a city.

Fortunately, her companions were still alive: Exusiai, Croissant, and Sora, who slowly woke up.

Mostima and Lappland seemed to have been awake for a while. They looked around and then at the awakened group of four, including Remian and Fiamet.

"It seems that..."

Chapter 142 Doctor, you still love to court death.

The two Theresias looked at each other. They were the same person, yet they were separated by life and death. One carried the wrath of the Sarkaz souls, while the other was filled with anticipation and blessings for the new world.

Amiya was caught in the middle and didn't know what to do, because Theresa, whom she knew, was trying to stop them.

"Doctor, you can go over there. This is Mei Xue's idea."

Theresa looked at herself, then at Amiya. They had a lot to say, but letting it go was impossible. Only the Doctor was an exception. Perhaps Mei Xue didn't want Amiya to be exposed to those things. For this little rabbit, what had happened today was enough.

"...He wouldn't be thinking of getting rid of me, would he?"

Do you think he'd be willing to do that?

"That's true."

The Doctor and Theresa smiled at each other. She patted Amiya's head, hesitated for a moment, and then the black crown reappeared on her head. She took it off and put it back on Amiya's head.

"Keep it up! I'm heading over now. You guys have a good chat."

"Ah."

Because she believed that Mei Xue wouldn't hurt the Doctor, Amiya nodded. She did have a lot to say to Theresa. As for Mei Xue... although she didn't want to admit it, there were indeed many things that Amiya didn't know, and those were things she couldn't possibly know.

Amiya steadied the black crown on her head and watched the Doctor disappear behind the door.

"Um... how can I distinguish between the two of you? I mean, how do I address you?"

For Amiya, even if the two people in front of her looked exactly alike, she could still distinguish them based on her most intuitive feeling. It was just that it was really hard to distinguish them by their names, because they were both Theresa, completely identical people. They understood each other better than looking in a mirror.

"I... you can just call me Theresia. As for her, you can call her the Will of the Sarkaz, also known as the Demon King."

Demon King against Demon King. Theresa looked at herself, who had become the representative of the Sarkaz souls. She was another possibility for Theresa. And now, even though the other party didn't say anything, Theresa could still feel her questioning her. They said: Why?

Why choose a king from another race? Why not rebuild Kazdel with the Sarkaz? Why not unleash the Sarkaz's millennia-long wrath upon the land, and tell those who have invaded their homeland that this is Terra, this is Kazdel, this is the home of the Sarkaz!

“Once upon a time… the Sarkaz were the second masters of this land. At that time, the Sarkaz did not yet have a Demon Lord, or rather, at that time, the Tikaz did not refer to our race, but rather to the existence of ‘humans’.”

"Blood Demons, Carrion Eaters, Banshees, Liches, Balrogs... each has its own territory and its own king."

"Later, after a great change, the Tikkaz people gathered into a large group and came under the rule of the first Tikkaz Demon King, but there was no royal court yet."

"Over these ten thousand years, Kazdel has experienced three great fires, and its people have been scattered to all corners of the land. It has suffered more than three thousand four hundred destructions. Once, there were more than a hundred Kazdel on this land, but the fastest of them was overthrown in just three days, and most of the rest perished on their own."

Every Sarkaz who has been separated from their homeland longs for a home. They have built their own Kazdel and hope to rally their fellow countrymen to reunite, rebuild their homeland, and reclaim their former land and glory.

But Theresa remembers each and every one of them, the birth and destruction of every Kazdel. When they built their own Kazdel, everyone was filled with joy and excitement, but the result... was often just destruction in different forms.

Some were overthrown by those who feared the Sarkaz, some fought for that meager amount of power, and others simply recognized the status quo and lost all confidence.

“I have witnessed many Sarkaz muster their courage and I have also witnessed their fall. I have seen the glory of Kazdel and I know why we were destroyed. Perhaps, when we chose to betray the first king, the fate of the Sarkaz clan was thus sent into that great fire by ourselves.”

“Hatred will breed hatred, and these chains of hatred have imprisoned us for far too long… Therefore, I choose to believe in Mei Xue, and believe that he can give us a world that will satisfy us all.”

This was a confrontation with the Sarkaz souls. Theresa showed no fear. She believed that the Sarkaz bloodline carried not only memories but also indelible hatred. They regarded the people of this land as enemies, and the other races of this land also harbored hostility towards them.

Theresa doesn't disbelieve that in the distant future, everyone on this land will shake hands and talk, regarding each other as one of the same kind, but that would take too long, and Terra doesn't have that much time left. Mei Xue's approach is the best choice.

"Miss Theresa."

Amiya didn't know how to answer. She hadn't fully grasped the power of the Sarkaz Demon King, nor had she been able to delve into the depths of the Sarkaz race's memories. She couldn't fully understand Theresa's actions, but she could sense that Theresa had indeed made up her mind.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. The crown on Amiya's head emitted invisible waves, connecting Theresa and Amiya's consciousness with the Sarkaz spirits. In an instant, the world before Amiya's eyes turned gloomy and dark, and the pitch-black spirits wailed. However, neither Amiya nor Theresa showed any fear.

Feeling the fluctuations, the doctor couldn't help but look back. However, after she pushed open that door, it disappeared, and she found herself in a cold corridor.

"It's Mei Xue's ability... This is... Ursus?"

On the walls of the corridor were labels in Ursus language: Energy Supply Center. The doctor seemed to remember something.

The corridor had only two ends, and the end was nowhere in sight, so the only option was to use the door in front. Without further hesitation, the doctor reached out and pushed open the door in front of him. What he found, both unexpectedly and logically, was the Chernobog Energy Control Room, which he had seen once before and which supplied energy to the entire city.

The stone coffin, which she had crawled into countless times, lay quietly in the middle, its open position maintained. Mei Xue sat on a stool beside it, while Cecilia, who had already awakened, sat on the little fox's lap, or rather, she was practically lying on Mei Xue.

After what happened before, Cecilia, upon waking up, didn't even ask Meixue to apologize to her. Instead, she buried her face in Meixue's arms and cried for a long time. In the end, it was only after the little fox coaxed and coaxed her that she finally stopped. But no matter what, she insisted on sticking to Meixue. The little fox originally planned to send her back to Felia on Rhodes Island, but she didn't dare to.

If Felia knew about this, she would probably sigh that her daughter hadn't even grown up yet and was already preoccupied with someone else, but at the same time she would be happy that her daughter had found a good man, since she had been wanting to pair her up with someone for a long time.

(Sure enough, Goldin was right, girls of all ages care a lot about their appearance.)

Looking at Cecilia, who was clinging tightly to her, Mei Xue couldn't help but think that the little angel had been crying no matter what she said. It was Goldin who gave her a suggestion, and Mei Xue said, "If you keep crying, you won't look pretty and no one will want you when you grow up." This scared the little angel so much that she dared not cry anymore. She had finally calmed down now, but her eyes were still a little red and swollen. She had cried too hard. The little angel had never cried like that before.

"Brother...you really won't abandon me in the future, will you?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare. You're too hard to comfort when you cry."

The little fox shook its head so fast it was almost as fast as a propeller. Cecilia blushed at these words. She had been crying her eyes out, and couldn't help but bury her head in Mei Xue's arms, burying her face in her hands like an ostrich.

(With that kind of emotional intelligence, how did I even fall for him back then? No, wait, I think I was the one who pursued him. Anyway, never mind.)

Thinking this, Miss Doctor couldn't help but glance at the stone coffin. Back then, when Mei Xue lost her tail and was left with only six tails, Precys sent her inside to delay the effects of time. But now everything seems to be coming to an end. The only thing she doesn't understand is Precys's whereabouts. Mei Xue definitely knows, but the little fox may not be willing to answer.

However, it was only at this glance that the Doctor realized that Kal'tsit was also there, but she was silent and did nothing, so he hadn't seen her before.

"Ah, the doctor is here."

The little fox had noticed the doctor the moment he appeared, but Cecilia was holding him too tightly and he couldn't free his hands, so he had to throw a chair out of his tail and place it opposite him.

"Doctor, please have a seat."

Mei Xue's voice was usually very soothing, but when the Doctor heard this, she seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and her whole body trembled involuntarily. If you didn't know better, you would think you had seen a ghost.

"I won't sit, I'll just stand."

The doctor quickly shook his head. What a joke! Who would dare sit down like that? It's like hearing "Commander, the car is ready"—it can instantly make a person's reflexes jump to the level of Spider-Man.

"I didn't expect to see Kal'tsit here too. Is everything alright at Rhodes Island?"

"It's alright, no one can cause any damage to this ship right now."

Kal'tsit's answer was as brief and indifferent as ever, but the Doctor wasn't surprised. Thinking back to when she had participated in Kal'tsit's project development, she had a strange feeling. She used to think that Kal'tsit's mouth wasn't very clean, but now she felt a little sorry for her, after all, she was like her own daughter.

"Um... Kal'tsit."

"what happened?"

"Shouldn't you call me 'Mom'?"

“Mon3tr…”

A ferocious monster gradually emerged from behind Kal'tsit, stretching out its sharp scythe-like legs. Its crimson eyes made the Doctor break out in a cold sweat, and she quickly waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

(But if I were Kal'tsit's mother, wouldn't Mei Xue become her father? And then she and Mei Xue... Oops, that won't do, author, that would get censored!)

"Alright, Kal'tsit, the Doctor was just joking."

The little fox stretched out its tail and patted Mon3tr's head. It wasn't afraid of it at all; in fact, it even found the child quite cute.

Mon3tr himself seemed to enjoy it, suppressing his aggression and rubbing against Mei Xue's tail obediently and excitedly, like a tamed husky.

"So, why change the meeting place to here?"

Taking the apple Mei Xue handed her and taking a bite, the Doctor curiously looked around. Compared to when she first woke up, there had been quite a few changes. Several power supply pipes had been installed, which greatly improved the energy utilization efficiency of the stone coffin. Looking closely at the control panel, she could also see that the energy output power of the stone coffin had been adjusted, but this should not be Kal'tsit's doing.

"It was my daughters who did it."

"No wonder, Ursus really brought this on himself."

With the restless elements under Mei Xue's command, the Doctor was not surprised by Ursus's rapid downfall. In any case, Ursus's downfall was within the plan, and Igor's existence was the best proof. Few people knew that this former first emperor of Ursus was the first Black Serpent, or rather, the Black Serpent was just his overly stubborn side.

"As for choosing this meeting place, it's simply because it's the most suitable location."

Mei Xue looked at the stone coffin behind her, then hugged the little angel and rubbed it.

"This sarcophagus was the power source for Rhodes Island back then, the result of my research with Precys."

"Unfortunately, during the time I was asleep, Precys put you into a sarcophagus and put you to sleep. The Haros helped Dulin build an underground civilization in the underworld."

"When I first woke up, the land had changed, but I couldn't find Precys, and I still haven't found him..."

They had agreed to meet at the end of civilization, but now a new world was beginning. The Doctor turned to look at Mei Xue.

"Mei Xue, you know where Precys is, right?"

"Ah."

The little fox flicked its tail, then rubbed against Cecilia, and finally looked at the Doctor with curiosity.
