Great, we're doomed now!

"That's why I want to come to the Kuze Group too!"

"……Um?!"

"The best way to breach a fortress is to start from the inside—am I smart?"

"Smart...no! Wait a minute—"

"Don't worry, the hard times are over. From now on, I'll help you with your work, especially those tough jobs that keep you up all night."

"!"

Liuli's eyes widened slightly: "You mean..."

"If he has any other tasks, then let me handle them!"

"Wait--"

"You're welcome, we're best friends!"

Drop~

Listening to the busy tone of the radio, the maid stared blankly, as bewildered as a farmer looking at a field that had just been swept away by a storm.

She meant... to help me with my evening work...

Snapped!

—The mirror is cracked.

"Oh... what's going on? I'm sorry, Lord Rurikawa, I'll get you a new one right away."

The vanity mirror suddenly cracked for some unknown reason. The assistant was startled. Although it wasn't her fault, she subconsciously apologized and quickly went out of the room to get spare parts.

So we didn't see Liuli's current expression; otherwise, she would definitely be even more terrified.

"That fat fox, that philandering cat, has finally extended its claws into my territory (bed)!"

A cold smile appeared on Liuli's lips. She raised her proud chin slightly, looked at her reflection in the shattered mirror, narrowed her eyes, and said coldly, "Come and try if you dare. I will never easily hand over my job!"

hateful!

I originally thought that this guy was just rich and had no ambition, so he was not a threat. So I just left him alone. Even if he had this or that relationship with Lord Ye Shou, he was still just a rich young lady.

But now it seems there's much more to it than that... She's far more shrewd and ruthless than I imagined!

Not only have they practically monopolized Lord Ye Shou's time at school, but now they've even extended their reach into the Kuse Mansion, and even Lord Ye Shou's bed!

How can this be allowed? She's a politician's daughter, vying to do a maid's job?

They have absolutely no bottom line and no shame!

It's terrifying. She pretends to be weak and harmless, but once she comes to her senses, she's already clinging to Lord Ye Shou, even conquering territory and growing into a demon king-like being...

It's practically cancer... the cancer of humanity!

I really need to control you!

"—!"

Wait a moment……

A wonderful idea suddenly flashed through Liuli's mind, and the perfection of this plan was so exquisite that it made her tremble.

yes……

Of all the people, only I can help Lord Ye Shou handle the work of TPC and the Kuze Group, while that person has clearly devoted all their energy to this area, and will continue to increase their focus in order to protect the Earth...

In other words, I was the only one who was tied to him at work and had exclusive access to that part of my time.

Meanwhile, other characters compete for the remaining time, such as Fujiwara Chika, who is the female lead in the "school" segment...

So, as the number of people increases, won't her pressure increase?

As the number of people increased, their competition among them became more intense, but I always had time for TPC and the group!

In other words, I'm always the winner!

—The maid covered her mouth.

perfect!

"Shirogane Kei, Yuuki Asuna... If we bring those two in, they'll become Chika's rivals... Oh, and Miko too, let's just include her too!"

Let's share this in a friendly way!

For a moment, the maid was so engrossed in her own astonishing wisdom that she couldn't extricate herself...

Chapter 293: Da Gu’s Secret Training (Update)

Over the Arctic Ocean, scorching air currents stirred up floating ice, creating layers of viscous waves mixed with tiny ice crystals on the frigid sea surface. A Victory Swallow flew low overhead, circled twice, locked onto its location, and dropped a long, rod-shaped beacon.

The beacon, with its constantly flashing red light, gradually sank into the dark seawater until it hit the seabed. As if triggering some mechanism, it began to release invisible ultrasonic waves.

After a long while, a huge black shadow slowly swam over from the deep sea, pushing aside layers of waves. Under the huge searchlight, it looked like an anglerfish magnified countless times, except that its skin was made of a special alloy.

"This is Xincheng. I have arrived at the designated location. Everything is normal."

In TPC's Deepdiver underwater workboat, GUTS members Shinjo and Horii are performing a high-difficulty operation, using technology to leave human footprints in this forbidden zone of life.

bass!

The light shone out, illuminating the space in front of them, and a huge pyramid appeared on the camera screen, causing the two of them to hold their breath.

“It’s a pyramid…yes, the same one we found in the ‘Land of Tiga’.”

As a scholar, Horii immediately became excited: "Then this is the third pyramid, an ancient relic, the resting place of giants..."

"Okay, stop getting so excited, you're going to use up all the oxygen."

Shinjo glanced at Horii with disdain, then propelled the Deep One forward slowly. Just as they were about to reach the pyramid, a strange energy fluctuation spread out, and the pyramid began to glow with a faint golden light, making it particularly conspicuous in the seabed.

"It seems the defense system is intact, and the contents should still be there... Get ready, it's time to get to work!"

Their task was to open the pyramids and remove the giant statues inside, something the TPC had done before.

The remaining statues of Ultraman Tiga's pyramid were gradually lifted away by large transport planes, while the Lucifer Pyramid, buried deep underground, was reported by Masaki Keigo as an "accidental discovery," and the sharks would begin moving it once the underground structures were repaired.

The one in the Arctic Ocean was located by the Kuze Group's military satellite. It seemed to have been hidden in an independent space, so although the area could be locked, the specific target could not be found. But in the past few days, it suddenly "surfaced" - perhaps due to insufficient energy or time running out. TPC immediately formulated an action plan.

"It has now been confirmed that the giants can be revived. Ultraman Tiga, Lucifer, and Bayeri... these three giants should have come from these three pyramids respectively."

While looking at the data, Horii chatted with Shinjo inside the small exploration vessel: "The monsters that survived from the ancient times hate giants, so they will actively destroy pyramids and statues."

"So in order to protect the stone statue, we have to move it to a safe place in advance, right?"

"Is this it...? Is it okay?"

You can rest assured about my skills.

Propelled by the water flow, the robotic arm supported the small boat and attached it to the pyramid. Xincheng started the machine according to the steps. A beam of pure white light shone on the pyramid, reflecting the faint golden light. Soon, a small hole was created in the pyramid. Then, with this hole as the center, the outer wall of the pyramid turned into countless grains of sand and quickly disappeared.

"It really worked!" Shinjo clenched his fist.

Horii wiped the sweat from his face: "Oh my, I didn't expect it to be so easy... It seems that Dr. Masaki's 'photogenetic' theory is correct. The technology of the ancient civilization was based on 'light energy'. The machines he created can even pass through the defense system of the ruins... Hmm?"

He looked at the screen with some confusion, his brows furrowed.

"Why is there only one statue? Both the Land of Tiga and the Pit of Lucifer have multiple giant statues."

"Who knows, maybe he's a lone wolf."

Xincheng didn't think too much about it. He looked up at the stone statue, which stood like a Vajra warrior: "It is quite tall and mighty, but I don't know what it's called... By the way, how were the names Lucifer and Bayeri decided?"

"It's said to be based on research by history professors, but I don't know the specifics. Do you have any objections, Xincheng team member?"

"No, it's just that Captain Kuze's favorite machine is also called [Bayeri], so it doesn't feel distinctive enough."

"You're overthinking things... Be careful, we're about to go in."

Just you wait and see!

Xincheng was full of confidence and slowly pushed the control stick forward. The small boat landed slowly on the giant stone statue in the dark deep sea and began to scan and build a 3D model in preparation for transportation.

Deeper still in the ocean, a strange red light flashed, followed by a melodious, high-pitched cry, like that of a whale, that carried far into the distance…

-

Deep in the dense forest behind the shrine on Mount Sukuna, heavy shouts echoed intermittently.

Before the morning mist had completely dissipated, in the center of the forest clearing, Madoka Daigo, who had been assigned a "special mission," was doing basic physical training.

He was wearing a specially made weighted vest, with metal blocks faintly showing their edges under the fabric, and sweat had soaked through the back of the vest with each movement.

"Ninety-seven...ninety-eight..."

Daigo gritted his teeth, his arms trembling as he completed yet another pull-up. The rough, long bar bent and sank in his hands, shaking incessantly.

"……one hundred!"

After completing the last movement, he released his grip and landed on the ground. His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to his knees, but he quickly grabbed a nearby tree trunk to steady himself. He was speechless for a moment, only able to gasp for breath, his chest heaving violently, his energy almost completely drained.

But after resting for less than a minute, Daigo wiped the sweat from his face and walked to the other side of the open space. There were some simple equipment there, and he picked up a lead weight and began squatting.

"Your posture is wrong."

A calm sound came from the woods. Ye Shou was already standing at the edge of the clearing, his hands in his pockets, leaning against an old pine tree, looking relaxed like a tourist, a stark contrast to the disheveled Daigu.

"understand!"

Daigo quickly adjusted his movements and lowered his center of gravity.

"Lower it a bit." Ye Shou walked closer and gently tapped Da Gu's calf with his toe. "Don't let the shadow of your knee go past your toes, and keep your back straight. You need to train your whole body to generate power, not just rely on your legs."

"Yes, yes!" Daigo gritted his teeth and adjusted his posture as instructed.

Ye Shou walked half a circle around Daigo and nodded: "Keep this posture and do another thirty sets."

"Thirty sets?!" Daigo's eyes widened.

"Not enough?"

"No, no!" Daigo quickly shook his head, "I just..."

"Just what?" Ye Shou raised an eyebrow.

“I’ll do it!” He took a deep breath, his eyes regaining their resolve.

Ye Shou didn't say anything more, but walked to the side and sat down, quietly watching Daigo train.
