She subconsciously tried to act like an elder, but she found that Qin Li's expression did not show any signs of joking, but was full of seriousness.
Not only Kotori, but also the blonde girl and the maid who seemed like ordinary guests just now looked at her thoughtfully.
This atmosphere made Shizhi feel uneasy.
"Are you saying that the core of Ratatoskr's plan to drag Destiny into the game is a young girl who has no knowledge of elves?"
Finally, Amber, with a frown on her face, couldn't help but speak.
Rita, who was originally wondering what was so special about Gokawa Shiori, smiled helplessly when she heard this.
Compared to this secret and the conspiracy that may be hidden within it, what he cares more about is the innocent girl who was plotted against? This is indeed the style of Lord Yulandel.
Kotori naturally heard this, and at the same time, this question made her feel a little weak.
"Indeed...indeed, although we have secretly studied why only Shiori has such ability, but..."
She was a little bit at a loss for words. The research subject and the person who was inexplicably dragged into the game was obviously her sister, but as a younger sister, she did not consider her sister's feelings. Instead, her mind was full of "righteousness".
From a big picture perspective, there was nothing wrong with what she did, but... even an outsider like Youlandel questioned it, while she, a relative, acted as if it was a matter of course. This was somewhat... shameful for her.
Shiori was also greatly shocked and looked at Kotori in disbelief.
She accepted these settings without any doubt, not only because she herself had many second-year fantasies when she was a child, but more importantly... Kotori's reaction was too real, and she was like two different people compared to the sister in her memory.
"You...are Kotori?"
The blue-haired girl murmured subconsciously, but soon realized the inappropriateness of her words.
Sure enough, after hearing her question, Kotori, who already had a rather ugly expression on her face, looked at her in astonishment.
“Um… I’m sorry…”
Even though he had kept so many important things hidden from Kotori for so long without even telling her, Shiori still couldn't bear to see his sister's sad expression: "I just... I didn't expect that Kotori had a side that I didn't know about."
"What do you have to apologize for, silly sister?"
Kotori immediately readjusted her expression.
"What do you mean by stupid sister..."
In the past, Gowa Shiori could never have imagined that one day he would be called by his name by his well-behaved and spoiled younger sister, and even be called a stupid older sister.
But she certainly didn't apologize casually: "I just feel that I am also at fault. As an older sister, I didn't realize my younger sister's condition."
This actually doesn't make sense. After all, Shiori is not a superman. She also needs to go to school and participate in club activities. In addition, she has to take on the responsibilities of a mother, buy groceries, cook, and do housework. She has to worry about almost everything big and small. She is just a sixteen-year-old girl who is two years older than her sister.
In this situation, he can still remain sunny and gentle, and dote on his sister. No matter what, it is impossible to ask for more from her.
Kotori naturally knew that although these words were Shiori's sincere thoughts, she was not comforted and only felt more uncomfortable.
"Um... so can you tell me about it? About the elves and the sealing of spiritual power."
Shiori asked.
If Shiori was her subordinate, Kotori would probably kick her.
Since he had eavesdropped completely, he should have known from their conversation that these two guests were complete outsiders to him and were not from the same faction.
But thinking that Shiori was just an ordinary high school student after all, and that she also intended to make her point clear, Kotori did not react. Instead, she sighed, and finally gathered everyone around the dining table and explained the situation in detail.
It is mainly explained to Shizhi.
Shizhi really didn't expect that the truth of this world would be like this. Space quakes are not ordinary disasters, but are caused by the appearance of elves. As long as the elves are sealed, the space quakes can be solved from the source.
She never expected that the blonde loli she met while buying groceries was actually the strongest human in the world today, who could deal with the elves who were like the incarnation of natural disasters alone, and even dealt with three of them.
"But if Yulandel can deal with the elves, why seal it?"
Shizhi raised his doubts.
Amber helped to explain this point: "Because elves don't just need to be killed."
Her expression was serious. "We've solved the problem of elves before. The essence of an elf's power comes from the spirit crystal. When the spirit crystal is removed, the elf will die. But not long after, the spirit crystal will also disappear into thin air, and a new elf will be born."
"Spirit crystals will give birth to new spirits, so even if you kill one, there will always be another one..."
Shizhi understood now.
This was the first time Kotori knew about this. Although she knew that Skyward Sword was the organization that knew the most about elves in the world today, she didn't expect that they even knew about the essence of elves.
Is it okay to tell this to an outsider like me?
However, she didn't expect that the plan to seal the spiritual power proposed by her side would accidentally become the only permanent solution to the space earthquake. She originally thought that destiny did not have to be Ratatoskr.
Oh, I shouldn’t say destiny, I should say Yulandel. I guess destiny has never thought of solving the space earthquake once and for all. Only someone like Yulandel who doesn’t have any dark thoughts would think so.
Something is wrong... Although Tianming may reject Ratatoskr and even try to get the so-called technology to seal spiritual power, the person who came to negotiate is Yulandel. In other words, there is actually no need for him to self-destruct. With Yulandel's upright character, it is impossible for her to give up this possible solution to the space earthquake.
Realizing this, Kotori's eyes widened as she looked at Amber.
OK, so it turns out that the "rejection" you mentioned before was really putting pressure on us. You won't actually leave so easily!
Kotori pursed her lips. Even if she realized this, it was useless. After all, the difference in strength was too great. She could only continue her own topic: "Anyway, Shiori's job is to seal the spirit power of the spirits so that the spirits cannot be lost, so that the space tremors when the world appears will not occur."
Shiori nodded with a heavy expression.
"This is a responsibility imposed upon you, Shiori. While I'd like to say that the elves aren't as terrifying as you imagine, if you're afraid, you can simply refuse. You're not a warrior, and it's not your responsibility to shoulder the fate of the world. No matter who calls you to account, I will stand before you."
Amber gave Shiori a chance to retreat with a slightly apologetic look.
To be honest, whether it is Shidao, Shiori, or those elf girls, in Amber's view, they are all poor people controlled by Takamiya Mio. So, if Shiori really says here that she doesn't want to participate in this plan, then she will help protect her, even if this will make her face Takamiya Mio directly.
"Thank you."
Amber's voice was firm and powerful. This was a guarantee made by the strongest person in the human race, and even on Earth, which made Shizhi feel somewhat relieved.
Although she was still unfamiliar with these supernatural situations, she understood that the value of this guarantee was not low.
Shizhi's smile relaxed a lot: "Even though it's our first meeting... you're telling me this."
"You have the right to choose your own lifestyle, not just you, but everyone has the right."
Amber said.
Seeing the two of them exchanging glances like this, Kotori couldn't stand it anymore and quickly ended the topic: "So, what's your choice, Shiori?"
Although Kotori had naturally put Shiori at the core of the plan before, after this conversation, she also realized the immaturity of her thinking and also gave the choice to Shiori.
"I accept."
This time, Shizhi nodded without hesitation: "If this is something only I can do, then I have no reason not to do it."
Her words made Kotori and Amber breathe a sigh of relief. The three of them smiled at each other, revealing genuine smiles that put aside their positions.
"So, how do you seal it?"
The sound of sudden penetration reminded people that there was a fourth person here.
The maid's smile was colder than ever before, and everyone could see that she was not in a good mood at the moment.
But her question didn't contain any hidden agenda. However, as the only one present who knew the method, Kotori was slightly stunned: "Didn't I tell you that?"
"I really didn't say that."
Amber nodded.
Shiori's expression became even more serious now. Although she said some nice words, she also knew that this matter was extremely dangerous. She swallowed and looked at Kotori nervously.
"Simply put, date the elf, make the elf shy, and then kiss the elf."
Shiori: "...Huh?"
Chapter 9: How come you, a golden-haired guy, speak so sarcastically?
"Wait... wait a minute!? Can something like this be done just by dating? No! I've never been in a relationship before!"
Shizhi's mood was shocked and complicated at this moment. He had heard a lot about the disasters caused by the elves and their terror, but he didn't expect that the method to solve the disasters and seal the spiritual power would be so trivial.
Rita's smile also became a little forced: "Commander Kotori, what are you doing..."
She loved children, especially cute and pretty ones, but Kotori's words were a bit...
Even though Rita felt that it was unlikely that the other party would say such a fantastic statement to ease the atmosphere in this situation, this reason was indeed a bit hard to accept.
"it is true."
Qin Li said expressionlessly: "It's useless for you to think it's unscientific. This is reality."
"I see."
Amber had known this for a long time, so she was not surprised. She looked like she accepted it easily, but unlike others, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this method.
"You're not surprised at all. It actually makes me feel a little frustrated..."
Kotori was confused by her calmness and didn't know how to react.
Why do you accept this kind of ridiculous TV drama setting so calmly?!
“No, I’m actually a little surprised.”
Amber shook her head, telling Kotori that she wasn't as indifferent as she had imagined. Then she said seriously, "I didn't expect that you two sisters would have such a relationship. Although I personally can't understand it, I still wish you happiness."
"Huh!?" x2.
The two were confused by this at first, but they quickly realized what was happening.
To seal the spiritual power of an elf, one needs to make the elf shy and then kiss. In other words, there needs to be a romantic relationship between the two people. Kotori said that she has been sealed, which means that this kind of relationship exists between Kotori and Shiori.
Realizing this, Shiori looked at Kotori in shock.
Although the two are not biological sisters, they have been getting along like sisters since they can remember. Shiori dotes on and takes care of Kotori only out of her responsibility as an older sister and her love for her younger sister, but she never expected that her younger sister would have that kind of feeling for her.
Even in commander mode, Kotori's cheeks turned red at Amber's words, but before she could say anything, she saw Shiori's shocked expression.
Even though she had known for a long time that Shizhi had no such intentions towards her, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
So she immediately changed the subject: "Don't be ridiculous! I was only 9 years old at that time. What do I know about likes and dislikes? Anyway, why do you like to poke holes in people's feelings? And normal people would be surprised by this method of sealing spirits! You should get the point!"
Thinking back carefully, this golden-haired loli could give her a perfect stab every time she spoke, and Gokawa Kotori's blood pressure suddenly rose.
After hearing his sister's words, Shizhi belatedly remembered how old they were at the time. With that kind of child's cognition, he probably couldn't distinguish between admiration and love, which is why he was sealed like a bug.
so far so good……
"Anyway! That's what happened!"
Itsuka Kotori brought the topic back to the point: "So, what do you think of destiny?"
Perhaps it was because they were at home, perhaps it was because their relationship became closer after the showdown, or perhaps it was because they were not at the negotiation table at this time, Kotori did not use a very official tone, but asked with a very personal communication attitude, and even her tone was full of resentment of being hurt by words several times.
Rita tilted her head. Although Bishop Mebius asked her to assist Lady Yulandel in the negotiations and gain more advantages and dominance, she actually cared more about Bianca's own will and ideas.
She can act as a guarantee to prevent Bianca from being cheated. As for whether this negotiation will be profitable or even more profitable, it depends on Bianca's own ideas.
Giving up her own interests for the sake of her friends is in line with Bianca's style. This is not because she is stupid or willing to be deceived, but because her strength allows her to not care about those so-called interests. Compared with those interests, she cares more about her friends' feelings.
"I understand. I accept this cooperation on behalf of destiny."
Amber nodded. It was impossible for her to refuse. Whether it was for recognition or the desire to get close to and observe these characters she once loved, she was destined to stay close to them.
"Then we will have a pleasant cooperation."
Kotori also breathed a sigh of relief and then put on her smile again.
"Before that, there is one more thing to confirm."
At this time, Rita suddenly smiled and said.
"what's up?"
Kotori frowned slightly.
To be honest, compared to that golden-haired guy with the strongest fighting power in the world, she was more wary of this maid who always had a smile on her face.
Yulandel was indeed powerful, but these two encounters had almost made Kotori remove the filter she had for her as an elf. Compared to some terrifying fighting machine or humanoid Tyrannosaurus, after truly understanding her, Kotori was very sure that although this girl had the strongest military force in the world, she had a simple and pure personality.
She is not cunning, and although her way of speaking and thinking is a bit blunt and blunt, her integrity is clearly revealed.
There's no need to worry too much when dealing with people like this, which is why Kotori quickly started talking to her casually.
But this maid is different. You can tell at first glance that she is the kind of person who plays tricks on you.
But this time, Kotori really misunderstood Rita.
Rita is indeed good at negotiating and gaining benefits, but that is under normal circumstances. The current situation is that the other party has become a friend recognized by Yulandel. Even if the relationship is not yet deep, Rita will not calculate anything against them.
