In Zongman, he transformed into Fu Hua at the beginning

Kotori couldn't find any causal connection between the two, so she simply said to Reine, "Do you have a video of that incident?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, due to the fighting, there is a section of the video that cannot capture the specific situation."

After Murasame Reion finished speaking, the big screen in front played the situation at that time. The whole process was exactly as Shiori said. After the green-haired elf dealt with the surrounding AST, the image of the specific situation was lost and only the conversation could be heard from the headphones.

"You scared me, Nanashi, are you okay?"

“Did you see that…?”

"what?"

"Don't play dumb! You just saw it! This is unforgivable... I'm not done with you!"

"Gokawa Shiori! I will ruin your life!"

"……what?"

The conversation between the two ended here.

Kotori:?

"So...what did you see then?"

Kotori was also a little confused about the situation and could only judge based on the conversation that Shiori saw something he shouldn't have seen.

"I didn't see anything!"

Shizhi felt even more wronged than Dou E: "The dust was so thick that I could hardly open my eyes. I couldn't see anything at all. The only time I could see anything was after the dust had settled."

But this recording took place while the dust was still there.

Kotori's brows furrowed even more, but the information was too insufficient for her to make any conclusions... Plus, with the end of this meeting, there would definitely be a bunch of people with ulterior motives around Shiori...

"...In any case, until that elf makes a move, we can only wait and see. I'll explain the situation to Yulandel later. Speaking of which, didn't we already issue a space quake warning this time? How did AST get close to the elf?"

"The Undying Blade is holding back DEM, while Yulandel is holding back Artemisia and Takamiya Mana by herself."

Murasame Reine said, "AST and DEM are not attacking together."

"That's it."

Kotori nodded and said, "Shiori, you should go home first. If you don't cook, Tohka will be starving. I'll go back after I finish the things at hand."

"I see……"

Seeing that Kotori didn't have the same vigor as before and was obviously a little tired, although Shiori wanted to say something, he could only nod in the end.

Shiori felt a little uncomfortable with the feeling that his sister was always busy but he couldn't help. He had been taking care of Kotori all the time, but now he realized that Kotori had also been worrying about his affairs.

Rubbing her brows, Kotori walked out of the command room and dialed Amber's number when she was alone.

"What happened, Kotori?"

Hearing this usual calm voice, Kotori's tired mood was calmed down a lot, and then she said: "Yulandel, I need your help with something... It's about Shiori. Of course, it's okay if you can't. I will make the request in a more formal occasion when the time comes."

This number is a private number, which means that the two people talking at this time are not the Valkyrie and the Commander, but friends who have put aside their positions.

But Qin Li's conversation hinted that this favor was not easy to help, and it was difficult to avoid the positions of both parties.

"I'd be happy to help if I can."

Although Amber didn't know what was going on, it was the first time she saw Kotori being so humble. From a selfish point of view, she still felt a little sympathetic.

"After coming into contact with Shiori today, the spirit left behind a declaration that 'Shiori will be destroyed forever'."

Kotori first explained her concerns, and then made her request: "Even Ratatoskr can't protect Shiori completely forever. After all, it's impossible for Shiori to stay inside for his entire life. So I want to ask if you can protect Shiori."

"But... this also applies to destiny."

Amber said: "Unless a person's social life is restricted to a certain range, it is impossible to be absolutely safe as long as you go out."

Both Ratatoskr and Tenmi can help Shiori take leave from school, even for his whole life, but this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

"So, I wonder if you have any Valkyrie friends who are of the right age and have decent strength..."

Kotori felt her face flush as she said this, and she felt embarrassed. "Of course, I'll repay you with the highest standard of bodyguard fees."

After all, what he said was equivalent to asking the Valkyrie to give up training and come out to waste time.

To put it more vividly, it is equivalent to a small boss calling a friend in the army and asking if he can send a young elite soldier to protect his family, allowing that soldier to directly experience the life of a retired soldier during the most critical rising period.

This kind of request is more suitable for formal occasions and as part of cooperation.

There was no way that Kotori didn't know this. After all, her words just now clearly showed that she knew that her current request was a bit...overstepping.

"Kotori, what happened between you and Ratatoskr?"

Amber asked, frowning.

"There are indeed some things..."

Kotori smiled bitterly. It was impossible to hide the movements between her and Mobius from the boss Elliot. Her actions were so obvious. Elliot had been very restrained in not causing trouble for her directly. Now he was just taking back his right to negotiate cooperation with Tianming.

After all, she was already leaning towards destiny, and she definitely couldn't let herself, who might turn against her at any time, go to negotiate. What if she handed over the battleship Fraxinus to destiny without a word?

What I said before, "I will make a request in a more formal setting when the time comes," was just my most optimistic idea.

"I see."

Amber also vaguely realized the awkwardness of Kotori's position at the moment, or rather, Kotori's position has been awkward since her last conversation with Mebius, when she got dizzy and made a big mistake.

No, even earlier, when Shiori knew about Ratatoskr and clearly expressed his disgust, Kotori was already caught in the middle.

"I'll make the arrangements. Don't worry, Shiori will be fine."

"...Thank you, Yulandel..."

Kotori finally breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to have someone she could rely on at a time like this... She really had to thank Shiori for his generous act when he was buying groceries.

Chapter 54: There is a gap even among the top.

"It seems Commander Kotori isn't living a peaceful life right now."

Rita, who was sitting next to Amber, felt a little emotional.

It wasn't that Amber turned on the speaker or that she was deliberately eavesdropping. It was simply that as a Valkyrie, her five senses were superior to those of ordinary people, and the microphone was less than half a meter away from her, so she could easily hear the content.

"Lord Yulandel, if necessary, I think Captain Origami II is a very suitable candidate."

After expressing her feelings, Rita voted out her competitor without hesitation. This was not entirely out of her selfishness. In fact, from a selfish point of view, Rita did not want to see the Valkyrie of Destiny give up her training time to take on this kind of "private work".

Since the blonde girl had already agreed, Rita naturally offered her best candidate: "Origami is about the same age as Shiori. As the captain of the second team, he's also very powerful. He's made rapid progress under your training over the past two days. While he's still struggling against an elf, he's more than capable of dealing with it."

"From Rita's perspective, Captain Origami II is undoubtedly the best candidate."

And you can also vote out this competitor at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

In fact, in Rita's heart, Yulandel also meets this condition. Although she looks a little young, it can also be explained as late maturity. But... as an S-class Valkyrie with destiny, how could she possibly be a nanny for others?

"Origami is indeed suitable, but I actually already have someone in mind."

Amber didn't mind Rita hearing this, but she didn't accept Rita's advice either.

"Could it be one of the Valkyries from the headquarters?"

Rita was sure that she had carefully checked the entire Undying Blade and there was no one more suitable than Origami.

"Sylphle."

Amber's face showed a hint of nostalgia when she said the name.

Although those memories have been faded by Yu Duchen, they are his own memories after all, and it is impossible for them to have no influence at all.

"Sylphle..."

Rita was impressed by the name and had been extremely curious about it.

After all, she was one of the Valkyries on par with herself and Yulandel, but unfortunately, whether it was 'Fu Hua' or 'Sylphle' in the archives, Rita had never seen them in person, and even doubted whether their existence was a strategic deterrent. In fact, these two people did not exist.

Of course, her curiosity only stopped at what mission they were carrying out, and she did not question the fact that they were all S-class Valkyries like herself and Yulandel. After all, Rita knew that although the strength of S-class Valkyries was at the top in the world, they were not the only ones who had them. Elen was an obvious example.

But there are also gaps among the top players, and Yulandel who easily killed Ellen in seconds is also an example.

The strength of those two should be similar to his own. This is not unbelievable. No matter how strong they are, they are about the same as Ellen. But no matter what, they must be nothing when they meet Lady Yulandel.

Judging from the photo in the file, Sylphleel does look like a high school student, but that file should be from six years ago... Could it be that the other party is in a similar situation to Mebius and Yulandel, with an age that does not match their appearance?

"I didn't expect that Lady Youlandel has already met Miss Sylphleai."

Rita asked curiously, "What kind of person is she?"

"Well... she's a bit of an introvert, but very strong girl, and very capable."

After thinking for a moment, Amber said, "But sometimes he reveals his terrifying side."

"Even Lady Yulandel finds it scary?"

Rita was a little surprised. She rarely saw the blonde girl make comments on strength. Whether strong or weak was never her criterion for judging a person. In Rita's opinion, this was because the girl herself was the ultimate answer to the word strong, so the level of strength lost its meaning in her eyes.

But for such a Yulandel, she would specifically mention the powerful side before talking about the scary side?

"Yes."

Amber nodded.

Although I feel a little embarrassed, I have found something for my other self...

She was planning to give Seele's character card to Black Amber, and considering Black Amber's temper, she could act half-heartedly and comfortably in the role of Mebius, but Seele's words would obviously restrict her.

There’s no way… There’s no reason for Yulandel to suddenly disappear from everyone’s sight, but no one would be surprised if Mebius didn’t show up for more than ten or twenty days.

We can't ask Fu Hua to play Xier. Fu Hua is not like herself, nor is she the Black Amber born from herself. She doesn't have the habit and hobby of maintaining the character card personality. Instead of playing the role card, it is better to let Fu Hua herself play it directly.

But we are not at the end of our rope yet, so if we just hire a master or something, it would seem a bit... like we are just relying on our parents.

In short, Black Amber probably won't be able to maintain Seele's persona forever, and will definitely "release" her emotions frequently, so it's better to give Rita a heads-up first.

"I see."

Rita nodded thoughtfully: "Then I will go and arrange the admission procedures for Miss Xier."

"Excuse me, Rita."

It does feel easy and convenient to have someone help you with everything. Although Amber feels a little embarrassed no matter how many times, after all, in her eyes, Rita is a friend, not a subordinate, but if she refuses such a thing, it will make Rita unhappy.

After Rita left, Amber told Black Amber what had just happened.

"You are the only one who dares to order me around like this."

Black Amber had a sour expression on his face, but he was quite happy in his heart.

Although she had been busy running around for Amber's affairs, these were all her own thoughts and actions, which might sound a bit confusing. But facing the trouble that Amber suddenly brought her, Black Amber finally felt the joy of "helping Amber".

Even though compared to his own plans, playing the role of an introverted girl and being a bodyguard was just a small matter, but this request made by Amber herself gave Black Amber a sense of accomplishment far greater than all the previous things combined.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Amber said embarrassedly: "But in this matter, you are the only one I can entrust."

"Even though he's been at the pinnacle of power for so long, his methods of getting people to do things haven't improved at all."

Black Amber snorted coldly: "It's just being that guy's babysitter for a while, it's not a big deal for me."

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, my other self."

The long-lost words he hadn't heard since the last world finally made Black Amber's mouth curl up: "I really can't do anything about you."

Chapter 55: Transfer student Xier.

"Shiori! This potato pancake thing is so delicious! Especially with ketchup! No... I always feel like everything tastes better with ketchup. Could it be that ketchup is the pinnacle of human cuisine!?"

Early in the morning, he placed the prepared breakfast on the dining table. Seeing Tohka, who had just finished washing up, praising his cooking, Shiori's originally stiff expression brightened up a little. He smiled and said, "Because Tohka prefers sour and sweet things, ketchup is just a seasoning, not a delicacy."

"Well...but they're all edible, right? They're all edible, so why should ketchup be treated differently?"

"It's not really discrimination..."

Shizhi didn't know how to explain the difference between food and seasonings. After all, it was a matter of common sense.

"You guys are really energetic, making so much noise so early in the morning."

Kotori's voice came from the stairs, and judging by the tone, it was obviously Kotori in commander mode.

"Kotori, haven't you been resting well lately?"
