In Zongman, he transformed into Fu Hua at the beginning

Qin Li's mood darkened a little.

What I said just now was very clear. First, I expressed my dissatisfaction with Shiori's immature behavior, explaining that I didn't have to go. Then I emphasized that my position in Ratatoskr was obtained through hard work, showing how much I valued this position. Finally, I made it clear that if you want Shiori, you must take me with you.

To sum it up, I don't have to go, but if you want Shizhi, you have to take me with you and give me certain rights.

But the other party had no intention of responding to this.

As for the fact that Yulandel was Mebius's favorite student, Kotori didn't really care, or rather, she didn't believe it at all.

How can you, an ambitious person, bring up such an upright person? As mentioned earlier, cultivating equally ambitious people or obedient props is more suitable for her to achieve her goals.

I guess this is purely a case of 'all Valkyries are my students, so Yulandel is too'.

"Indeed, although I don't want to admit it, she is indeed one of the most trustworthy people I have ever met."

Qin Li could only go along with what he said.

But before he could finish, he received a puzzled look from Amber: "Don't want to admit it?"

Just admit it if you want to, and don’t admit it if you don’t want to. Why are you still unwilling to admit it?

Qinli gave Amber a subtle look and said, "You don't know how you made me angry at that time, but I haven't forgotten it at all. Although this guy is upright, his words are really irritating."

Black Amber noticed the two's little movements and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You two seem closer than I thought."

"she is my friend."

Amber said, don't scare her like that.

"friend?"

Black Amber certainly knows Amber's attitude towards her friends, and she is happy to make their relationship better, but this does not prevent her from making things difficult for Kotori, because these are two different things. Kotori hates her, which does not mean that Kotori hates Amber. As long as she handles it properly, she will like Amber more.

Black Amber understood Amber's thought process of thinking that the two of them were the same person, and therefore she didn't want her friends to hate her, but Black Amber didn't really care about it.

She just felt that things that were obtained too easily would not be cherished so much.

...Okay, she admitted, she just wanted to make things difficult for Kotori.

"Youlandel's friends are naturally also Tianming's friends, but... Tianming has always adhered to the concept of mutual and friendly development. Stealing someone's love is not in line with Tianming's consistent style."

Black Amber smiled and said, "Later, I will personally send a gift to Ratatoskr to celebrate our cooperation."

Now Kotori believes that they are master and disciple. One is very good at making people angry, and the other likes to push people to death while making them angry.

Kotori just felt that the woman facing the painting was smiling so hatefully.

What he said was really nice, but what he meant was that he wanted me to leave Ratatoskr first before he would consider accepting me. If that was all, it would be fine, I would just not go.

Why would he give Ratatoskr a personal gift? 'Celebrating our collaboration'? Why a personal gift?

Celebrating the cooperation is fake, revealing your own affairs is the real thing, right?

This was clearly intended to create conflict between me and Ratatoskr, so that when I could no longer bear it and left Ratatoskr, Destiny would extend a helping hand.

As for when you can't stand it anymore and whether you will never leave, it doesn't matter to the other party, because this is just a simple opening move, and there may be some tricks hidden behind it.

Why do so much? From Kotori's perspective, it's obvious that she wants to make herself and Shiori enter Tianming in the most destitute situation. This way, it won't be "job-hopping" but "acceptance". Then, what reason will she have to demand rights?

The girl's teeth were about to break. After knowing the other party's attitude, the following conversation between the two was almost meaningless. After just ten minutes, Black Amber hung up with a smile on his face.

Kotori took a deep breath and saw that the blonde girl next to her looked distracted, so she knew that she basically didn't understand the meaning of the conversation.

But it was not easy for him to say this out loud. After all, given the other party's personality, he would probably go directly to Mebius to ask. And if Yulandel, a straight woman, went directly to Mebius and exposed himself, the situation would only become more passive.

Damn it! I didn't expect that a conversation that was just to test my attitude would push my situation to the brink...

I have to find a way to let this golden retriever understand...

Chapter 24: The cowardly DEM.

That being said, now is not a good time. Although Yulandel is an upright person, she is not a stupid one. Even if she doesn't realize it on the spot, she will definitely realize afterwards that she is using Hanamikado to guide her. Therefore, Kotori cannot hint at this directly.

It would be better to wait for Mobius to make a move, and then have Shiori reveal it accidentally when she counters his move.

Her mood changed again, and Kotori felt a headache. It was obvious that fate, or Mebius's attitude towards her sisters was unstoppable. Kotori could not count on Ratatoskr to protect them. She could only hope that she could gain greater authority by then so that she would not be left with nothing when she entered.

This conversation served as a wake-up call and a lesson for Kotori.

The reason why she gets along so well with Ratatoskr is not only because of her and Shiori's special identities, one is an elf and the other is the only person to seal the elves, but also because of Ratatoskr's power struggle, or in other words, his attitude towards her is more of a peace-loving one. If there is something he hates or doesn't want, as long as he shows strong resistance, the situation will basically be over.

But Mebius was different. This guy was not the type of person like Ratatoskr who used elves as communication partners. Her eyes revealed an obvious desire to study him.

Thinking of this, Kotori almost bit the lollipop in her mouth into pieces. This time she did achieve her goal of testing the other party's attitude, but the result put her in an extremely embarrassing situation.

This is obviously a warning... Damn...

Amber really didn't understand the calculations between the two. In the world of magic, she had become the one with absolute say, and there was no one who could challenge her authority. Therefore, to say that she was in a high position and was proficient in political struggles, it could only be said that it had nothing to do with her.

But this doesn't mean that she has no intuition. Judging from her intuition and her understanding of Black Amber, Kotori's situation at the moment doesn't seem to be good?

If only Rita were here.

At this time, Amber couldn't help but miss Rita's delicate heart that could easily help explain the situation.

The main event of today was over, and the result was very bad. Even Shiori could see that Kotori's mood had fallen to the bottom at this time, so Amber did not stay here for too long, and soon left the Gokawa family with Origami.

She never expected that a small visit would cause both Origami and Kotori to become autistic at the same time.

On the other hand, Rita, who had finally dealt with the two largest forces in Japan, felt itchy and was glad that she did not let Yulandel come along, otherwise she would have been disgusted by the faces of these politicians.

There were three groups of people at this party. One of them was of course the Japanese official who had a very good relationship with Ratatoskr, and the other was the AST, which was basically under the control of DEM at this time. In theory, the AST was the Japanese Self-Defense Force and an official organization, but... I can only say that those who understand will understand.

Having military power doesn't guarantee security, as soldiers need support. In ancient times, this meant food and equipment, and the same is true today. AST needs funding from the Japanese government to survive, but... what if someone else provides the funding? For example, DEM.

Of course, as a formal organization, DEM cannot openly control a country's armed forces, so it is not a "providance" but a "donation". At this time, AST not only takes money from the Japanese government, but also takes money from DEM, so there is nothing wrong with it.

As for how a private enterprise can "donate" things to the government, don't worry about it.

In short, although AST is still the Japanese Self-Defense Force on the surface, it is actually filled with a large number of DEM's hands and eyes.

In other words, although this is ostensibly a tripartite conversation between the Japanese government, the Self-Defense Forces, and Skywill, in reality Ratatoskr and DEM are also involved.

These politicians really know how to pass the buck and disgust people. They are obviously smarter than the other, but they just like to pretend to be stupid to annoy you.

This is certainly not what Japan and AST meant, but Ratatoskr and DEM do not want a third force to settle in this tiny place. Ratatoskr is fine, it just wants to express resistance to imply that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. You can come, but don't look down on me too much.

DEM's idea is much simpler, which is to go against destiny.

No matter what destiny does, I will sing the opposite tune.

Especially after Ellen's unexpected and rapid defeat, Westcott became more concerned about Japan than ever before, and the resistance and confrontation to the Mandate of Heaven in various places became even more radical.

Those who don't know might think that DEM has made some major breakthrough. Westcott also hopes that everyone thinks so, but Black Amber just sneered at this. He is a coward. He is friendly when he thinks he can compete with us, but when he finds that we are a threat, he immediately turns into a mad dog, wanting to show that he is not someone to be trifled with.

Rita breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the result this time is still good. Japan has basically accepted the "protection" of the Mandate of Heaven, but just needs a face-saving statement from the Mandate of Heaven. The AST stated that there is no need for the Mandate of Heaven to intervene in protecting the country. The attitudes of both sides are similar to expectations.

Although AST is Japan's only high-end armed force, it is only an armed force after all. It is unrealistic for it to interfere with the entry of Mandate of Heaven. The only way it can show resistance is in the subsequent elf incident. At that time, the Undying Blade will surely face more tests.

He returned to Tianming's hotel with a feeling of exhaustion, and after seeing the blonde girl in the room, the exhaustion finally faded away.

"I'm late, Lady Yulandel."

Rita apologized, "Did you go to the Gokawa family alone?"

"No, I met Origami at the training ground, and then we went together."

Amber looked at Rita's expression and said, "You must be tired too. Anyway, you should get some rest quickly. It's getting late. You need to maintain sufficient physical and mental strength so as not to delay tomorrow's work and training."

"Please rest assured, Lady Yulandel, a qualified maid will always maintain a good spirit."

Hearing the concern for herself, Rita showed a beautiful smile and then briefly reported today's situation. Although she knew that the other party never cared much about these things, this behavior was not only a handover of intelligence, but also a relaxation for her.

After listening to Rita's broadcast, Amber nodded: "So, our main task in the Japanese branch is to... cause trouble for DEM?"

"To put it simply, it's like this."

Rita didn't deny it. "Bishop Mobius is certain this place will become a frequent stage for elves to appear, so he made plans here. DEM will inevitably cause trouble for Destiny as usual, but in reality, our plans this time don't require us to do anything."

"After all, the key person is Shiori."

"That's right, so we just have to lead DEM by the nose."

Rita smiled and said, "Also, Bishop Mobius will arrive in Japan today. Please make preparations, Master Yulandel."

Chapter 25: Meijiu! I’m your fan!

Rita's job this time is not so easy to complete. Just as Kotori thought, the so-called negotiation requires time to test each other's bottom line, and to repeatedly maneuver between radicalism and concessions, and finally to come up with conditions acceptable to both sides.

Not to mention that there are more than just two sides at this time.

Although Ratatoskr hates DEM more than Destiny, under DEM's radical obstruction, Ratatoskr can naturally take advantage of DEM's attitude to get a taste of the goodness. It's good for everyone if Destiny can make concessions.

Thinking of Rita who went out early in the morning to continue to put pressure on politicians, Amber, who was taking a short rest in the training room, couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Rita was not there, Black Amber was not there, Yoshino and Yamai were not there. The long-lost silence made her not know what to do for a moment. In desperation, she could only poke Yu Duchen.

"Master, what is Xiaozhi doing?"

'As always, traveling between stars.'

Fu Hua's voice was as calm and detached as before, like an old monk in meditation. If Fu Hua still had a distinctly human touch when they first met in Babylon, she now seemed even more divine.

However, this also means that she has a stronger elder-like flavor.

"Is interstellar travel really that fun?"

Amber couldn't find the fun in this behavior.

'There's never a shortage of fun for Xiaozhi, as long as she's willing to look for it.'

Now that the topic was open, Fu Hua explained her recent situation: "She has traveled through two worlds. One of them does not appear in your memory, and the other is the Fifth Holy Grail War. Coincidentally, it happens to be a parallel world to ours."

"I know that."

It's not that Amber doesn't care about this at all. In the previous world, the friends around her either died of old age or had no energy to move. The little attention she had left was basically given to Black Amber and the Herrscher of Consciousness, the two family members who were away from home.

Therefore, I am clear about these two things.

but……

"Has Shiko left Type-Moon already? I remember she was quite interested in the Root?"

Half a year ago, the Herrscher of Knowledge was still in Type-Moon, right? 'Wait, so this interstellar travel wasn't originally in Type-Moon?'

Amber doesn't know much about Type-Moon, but she knows that Type-Moon has UO, which is the strongest life on the planet. Since she has this concept, it is normal for the time perspective to exist on more than one planet.

At least it is worthy of its large fan base and the concept of heroic spirits, and is much better than the narrow-minded worldview that regards the island country as the world.

'She's not that persistent after all.'

Fu Hua wasn't surprised by this: "You're familiar with the world she's in now, and you should know it's 'Honkai Impact 3rd'."

'ah……?'

Amber didn't expect that the Herrscher of Consciousness would actually run over there. That was a world where gods fought each other... But the Herrscher of Consciousness was also very powerful, so as long as he didn't provoke the Star God, there shouldn't be any problem.

"She is currently wanted by the Interstellar Peace Company for defrauding Diamond of seven billion credits, causing significant financial losses to the company."

'……ah?'

I can only say that she is worthy of being able to do such a big thing.

Amber sighed: "Fortunately, the guardian star god will not care about such trivial matters, otherwise the treasure hunter would be in big trouble."

"...In fact, the trouble is indeed quite big."

Fu Hua was silent for a moment, then said, "Although the Herrscher of Consciousness has strange powers and is extremely powerful, it is still somewhat difficult for her to resist. A head-on collision would be almost certain death."

"Hmm? Aren't Master and Shibao also at the level of Lingshi?"

"If you think that anyone who can easily destroy a planet is at the level of a Commander, then that's correct."

Fu Hua said, "But in reality, diamonds have the power to influence half a galaxy. It was only after Xiao Shi became an envoy after many setbacks that he finally had the power to challenge diamonds head-on."

'ah? ’

This sentence contained a lot of information, so Amber was unable to react for a while.

So, easily destroying a planet doesn't count as a Commander? But judging by the game, being able to destroy a planet should be quite impressive.

Wait, the treasure sage has become the envoy?
