I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

With a gesture, Xier took over the plan that could be said to be the result of Precia's hard work.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do with the Holy Stone Seed?"

Xier suddenly remembered that your original intention of coming to find Precia was to help Nanoha.

"Sacred Stone Seed?"

Precia frowned and said, "Now that Alicia has been resurrected, I no longer need this forbidden power."

Then she looked at Fate and said, "I'm sorry, Fate, for what I did to you before, and forcing you to collect the seeds of the holy stone..."

"It's okay, Mom..."

Fate was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, not caring about Precia's previous behavior at all.

"Oh my, hey... he's such a good kid..."

"By the way, Miss Xier..."

Precia suddenly said, "I have something else I want to talk to you about alone."

"Oh?"

Xier was stunned for a moment. She was very curious about what else Precia had to say.

Seeing that Priscilla had something to say, Fate consciously pulled Elf to the side to check on her sister. Ever since she knew this sister, she has been full of interest in Alicia.

After quietly setting up a silencing barrier, Precia said to Xier, "Miss Xier, I have an unwelcome request, but I don't know how to say it..."

"Don't talk about it!"

Xier interrupted Precia and pointed at her and said, "You don't want to ask someone to take care of you, do you? I've cured Alicia for you, can't you just live a good life?"

"Haha, I thought so before..."

Precia smiled bitterly and said, "But now I want to ask Miss Xi'er for a small favor... Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."

"After so many years, it was the belief in resurrecting Alicia that kept me from committing these crimes. But I knew that the Administration would never let an S-level criminal like me go, because I had too many secrets."

Precia smiled and said, "Besides, those terrorist organizations that want to overthrow the Administration will not ignore me. Both parties will do their best to win over a key technical officer like me."

"So what do you want to do?"

After hearing what Priscilla said, Xier also thought about the possible developments.

"I intend to turn myself in."

Precia's shocking words stunned Xier.

"Are you crazy?"

"No, I didn't. To be honest, if it weren't for you, Miss Xier, I wouldn't have planned to use this retreat. Because once I'm imprisoned, I won't be able to revive Alicia in this life, so I planned to take Alicia to the legendary lost land after collecting all the holy stone seeds. Whether I succeed or fail, I will not appear in front of everyone again."

Precia shook her head. She had obviously planned everything already.

"What about Fate?"

Xier asked, glancing at the blonde angel on the other side.

"Fate?"

Precia was stunned, then said self-deprecatingly: "If only I had realized my feelings earlier, there was an important step in all my plans, which was to abandon Fate."

"Eh? Why?"

Xier was stunned. What was this operation?

"You may not believe it, but I have already treated Fate as my daughter. I just don't want to admit it. If I abandon Fate, she will become an innocent victim. Because of her special identity and my attitude towards her, she will most likely be let go by the Administration and sent to an orphanage to become a normal child. This is the way out I gave her."

Precia's words completely stunned Xier. She had never expected that Precia would play such a big game. After thinking carefully, Xier found that Precia's plan was very likely to succeed. No one would believe that a little girl would be an accomplice of a criminal who abused her all day long, and then people's sympathy would give Fate the greatest help. Precia had calculated everything. This move directly picked Fate clean. Precia's wisdom in this regard reminded Xier of her mother, Cocolia. She knew that Cocolia was called a female fox, but it was undeniable that Cocolia did everything for the people she regarded as her children.

"As expected, those who play tactics are all dirty..."

Xier murmured, she never thought that being a mother could make someone so wise and capable of calculating everything.

"But what now?"

But now Xier's appearance has ruined Priscilla's previous plan, so what will she do next?

"Now?"

Precia smiled brightly and said, "This is the best possible situation."

"Eh?" Xier was stunned again. How could she explain this?

"If I turn myself in, according to the regulations of the Administration, they will protect the safety of me and my family. Now the safety of Alicia and Fate is guaranteed."

"Then..." Precia took out a booklet and said, "This is the bases and personnel of most terrorist organizations that I have collected over a long period of time. As long as I hand in this information, I can redeem myself and reduce part of my sentence. Because my transactions for so many years have been conducted in secret, almost no one knows about my transactions with terrorist organizations. The only criminal record in the Administration is that I betrayed the Administration and carried out the Fate Plan, but no one knows what the Fate Plan is."

"That's true..."

Xier nodded. She had read the information given by Lindy. Apart from the word "fate plan", there was no substantial content in it.

"I became an S-level criminal only because I know too many techniques. I don't have many criminal records. Then, as long as I use the management personnel I bribed a long time ago, I can reduce the sentence."

Precia's smile became brighter and brighter. Xier couldn't help but smack her lips when she heard about the huge plan. It was really flawless.

"The maximum sentence I can get is 5 years. Then, if I submit some research results, I can get my sentence reduced again. Finally, I can be released in years at most."

Precia stretched out a hand and said, "This is the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is no more than 10 years."

"As for Fate and Alicia, they only need to be monitored by the Administration for a period of time. As long as they don't do anything out of line, they won't have any criminal records, and their lives won't even have a stain."

(Good boy!)

Xier suddenly felt a sense of fear. How did she think of playing tricks on this wise man? If Alicia hadn't appeared with her power, wouldn't she be fooled by him now?

"You...are amazing..."

After being silent for a long time, Xier could only utter one sentence. She really didn't expect that Precia had made such a detailed plan. This plan took advantage of the information asymmetry and directly deceived everyone in the management bureau. Even if someone found out something afterwards, they couldn't hold anything accountable because Precia had already been sentenced for these crimes. She just reduced her sentence through her own efforts. This was a complete victory for Precia.

"This is all just for my children."

Precia didn't think she was that great. She looked at Fate and Alicia on the other side and said, "As long as they are safe."

"So what can I do for you?"

Xier asked. After saying so much, Precia still hadn't told her what kind of help she wanted.

"Please do me a favor, Miss Xier. I want to make some more plans for insurance."

"Hey! Are you coming again?"

"Yes, I know that Fate has special feelings for that little girl. Now that I know my feelings, it is normal to help my daughter make a friend, right? I want Fate to be friends with that little girl. I can feel that the little girl is sincere to Fate. Miss Xier will not refuse, right?"

"Ah this..."

Seele was stunned. Her original intention was to help Nanoha make friends with Fate, and if she helped Precia, her own goal would also be achieved, but why did it feel so subtle...

Thinking of this, Xier couldn't help but pray for Nanoha who was far away on Earth.

(Poor Nanoha, everything was arranged clearly...)

Chapter 21 Late Night Poet

"So so, so so"

"Really?"

"Absolutely doable!"

"All right……"

As the barrier was lifted, Fate only saw her mother and sister Xier talking about something mysteriously, and then they laughed strangely. Then the two of them looked at her and laughed strangely again.

"Strange feeling..."

Fate felt uncomfortable all over as he watched the two's actions, as if he was being plotted against.

"Maybe it's an illusion..."

Fate whispered and then turned his attention back to the sleeping Alicia.

"Is what Sister Alicia said true? If so..."

Fate didn't know what she was thinking about. A blush appeared on her face. She held her face with both hands and shook it shyly.

"Fate?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Precia's voice, Fate quickly put down his hand, turned around and saw his mother calling him, so Fate quickly walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"

"I heard that you met a wizard who was about your age before? Did you fight with her?"

Precia asked. Fate was stunned when she heard this, and then her face turned pale.

Seeing that Fate seemed to have misunderstood something, Seele quickly added: "It's okay, Precia just wants to hear your opinion on Nanoha."

"Takamachi Nanoha..."

Fate repeated the name that gave her a special feeling.

"Correct."

Precia sighed secretly. The scars she had brought to Fate were indeed not so easy to repair. It seemed that she had to mend the relationship between mother and daughter.

"Nanoha... I feel like... maybe she's an idiot?"

Fate tilted his head and tried hard to organize the right words in his mind, but after thinking for a long time, he could only think of this word.

"Eh?"

Xier was stunned. She didn't expect that Nanoha would give Fate this kind of feeling?

"But she is indeed a kind person..."

Fate continued, "Even though I was hostile to her, she didn't fight with the intention of killing me. Instead, she tried every means to persuade me with words..."

Fate became more and more excited as he spoke. From their first meeting to several duels, Fate recounted everything in detail. At this moment, Fate was like a child who came home from school and excitedly told his mother about what he had seen and heard. Although Fate is indeed that age now, this feeling of talking freely is something Fate has never experienced before. Looking at Precia who was listening to him carefully, Fate felt at home for the first time.

"Hey, mom, Nanoha..."

Listening to Fate's story, Seele also saw another side of Nanoha, and only then did she realize that Nanoha was actually an invisible master of picking up girls. From the time they met to the time they got to know each other, everything Nanoha did left a very deep psychological impression on Fate. Seele even suspected that Nanoha could have taken Fate down without her help.

"Forget it... I don't want to think about it anymore..."

Xier shook her head and quietly walked aside so as not to disturb Fate and the others.

"Come to think of it, I have to go back quickly, I have to go to work tomorrow..."

Xier suddenly remembered that she went out at night, and she had to go to work at Cuiwu the next day.

"Eh...it feels like a long time has passed, but in reality, only a few hours have passed?"

It’s no wonder that Xier has that feeling. From treating Fate to solving Precia’s problem, these things have made Xier extremely nervous and she has completely forgotten the passage of time.

"Hmm~~~~"

Xier stretched her body to relieve her fatigue. Using the power of the Death Law many times in one night and the high-precision control really took a huge toll on Xier's spirit.

"Yawn~"

As soon as she relaxed, Xier felt sleepy and ignored Precia. She pulled Elf, who was eating watermelon, back to Earth.

What? Why did you bring Elf along? Of course, it was because Seele couldn't teleport. She had the Death Mark, not the Void Mark. She couldn't get back to Earth by herself. Seeing the intimate interaction between Precia and her daughter, Seele felt embarrassed to disturb them. She could only bring Elf, who was in the younger position in the family, as a tool. Anyway, Elf could come back by herself. How could she not use such a useful tool?

(Elf: I'm so stupid, I shouldn't eat melons, 55555, QAQ)

'Om'

In Xier's room, a magic circle suddenly appeared, and Xier and Elf appeared in the room.

"I'm so... so tired..."

Elf, who had consumed too much magic power and could no longer maintain her human form, had to transform into a wolf and lie down on the spot to recover her strength.

"Good night……"

Back in the room, Xier went straight to the bed without even turning on the light.

"Hey! You didn't even say thank you!"

Elf, the pure tool man, looked at Xier who walked straight back to the room and said indignantly that she must be very tired after using long-distance teleportation magic twice in one night, so at least give her a meal!
