My anime girlfriend has come into my life

"ring?!"

"Want to buy a ring?"

"Did I hear that right?!"

Apart from those in the know like Platinum Exusiai who weren't shocked, everyone else who heard Li Chaoge's words couldn't help but doubt their ears.

This happened so suddenly; they had no idea that Li Chaoge was going to say this.

"So, does anyone have any questions?"

Seeing their utterly shocked expressions, Li Chaoge asked uncertainly.

Buying rings is a local custom, and I don't know what their particular opinions are about it, but I suppose even if they don't really like them, they wouldn't refuse.

"Seele is fine!"

"I really want the ring the Commander gave me!"

"The Master wants to buy a ring, hehe..."

Seele and Heinrich had different reactions, but no one rejected Li Chaoge's idea.

"Brother, are you buying a diamond ring? Can't we use the rings we brought?"

Ying remained relatively calm and asked after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, there aren't enough rings unless we use other jewelry to replace them."

Li Chaoge nodded. He had naturally considered the jewels that Ayaka and Ying had brought, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it wouldn't work.

Although those jewels included not only antiques but also jewelry, such as thumb rings, jade bracelets, and rings.

However, the number of rings alone is not enough to satisfy so many people's requests, and the styles vary too much, making it difficult for him to distinguish them.

"Indeed, it would look quite strange to use other jewelry."

Kiana nodded in agreement. Of course, the captain would confirm their relationship with a ring; using something else as a substitute would obviously not suit their tastes.

It's not a matter of value, but rather that a ring can be worn on the hand frequently and is always in sight.

"What are everyone's opinions? For example, what kind of ring do you want? Style, price, or something else?"

Li Chaoge looked at the others and found that everyone was too excited to think about how to buy the ring. Instead, they were just imagining what to do after they got the ring.

Rings don't really have much practical use; they're just symbolic. But that symbolism is very important to them.

Lilith and Hei hope, along with the others, all shook their heads. It was best to just agree to such a thing; few of them would voice their opinions.

The commander is going to give them rings, so all they can do is accept them. What else is there to say? Who would even think of refusing?

Although there are many styles and prices of rings, none of them care about those things. What they value is Li Chaoge's feelings for them.

"The rings should be slightly different in style to avoid confusion if everyone's rings get mixed up later. But we can discuss this further when we go to the ring shop, and everyone can see which one they prefer."

Genji smiled slightly. He hadn't expected the Master to give everyone a ring; it seemed she had one too.

However, since this was released so early, it will be difficult to explain if other people release it later.

Of course, this thought only flashed through her mind and she didn't say it aloud.

She was just waiting to see what would happen, so why would she actively try to stop these things from happening? Anyway, the Master didn't need to worry about the hatchet.

The events of the past few days haven't been particularly interesting, and she's eager to see if any newcomers can break the deadlock.

"Actually, you can buy any kind of ring. Captain, you don't need to worry about the money. Your sister's friend helped sell some jewelry, and the money has already been transferred to your account."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Bronya shook her head, her beautiful eyes falling on Li Chaoge as she slowly said, "However, I was originally thinking about whether to change houses. If we buy a very expensive ring, we might not have enough money to buy a better house."

The housing prices in this city are quite high. There are already more than a dozen of them. If they want to buy a house, they need to find one that can accommodate dozens of people and has a lot of rooms.

Such houses are not only hard to find, but they are also very expensive.

"That's true..."

When Bronya brought up the topic of the house, Li Chaoge couldn't help but ponder.

It's definitely time to move to a new house. Although this villa is quite nice, it's still too small in terms of the number of rooms, and the location isn't very good either, with a lot of people coming and going around it.

Although people usually cover their doors and windows and don't expose themselves, they should still consider privacy. It's not good for so many incredibly beautiful young women to wander around in these crowded neighborhoods all the time.

It would be great if we could have our own port like in Azur Lane...

Thinking of this, Li Chaoge couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If he had his own large territory, he wouldn't need to worry about this or that.

He had actually considered whether or not to reveal his identity, since judging from the strength that Bronya and the others had demonstrated, he had no reason to worry about his own or everyone else's safety.

With the Dust Song Pot in hand, those without combat power can hide inside, while those with combat power can roam freely outside as they please.

There's probably no way to break through Seele and Black Seele's attacks that traverse other dimensions, not to mention that there's also Kiana, the Herrscher of Fire, and Bronya, the Herrscher of Reason, backing them up. No one else needs to step in; these Herrscher-level combatants are enough to keep the situation under control.

However, he didn't want to reveal his background, as that would seem a bit silly. After all, he wasn't asking for anything, and it would be too low to make a big fuss just for some money and a place to stay.

Moreover, he subconsciously didn't want to get involved with the authorities; he didn't understand politics, nor did he want to.

He just wanted to live a peaceful life with everyone. Once he had enough people to summon, he figured he'd be able to go to their worlds to play. Then he could take Qingge on trips to different worlds. Why bother messing around in reality?

After thinking for a moment, Li Chaoge came back to his senses, looked at the mature and sexy Bronya, the proud and charming Lilith, the adorable and serious Lucia, and the others, and smiled.

"You can always change your house later, but you can't just change your ring."

He doesn't necessarily have to buy them the most expensive rings in the world, but at least they can't be too cheap.

"Whether the ring is valuable or not is not important. After we choose the ring style we like, you can use the Source Cube to turn it into a special ring."

Ying shook her head and looked at Heinrich.

“Heinrich, aren’t the Oath Rings in your world related to the Rubik’s Cube? They should be able to be refined into special Oath Rings.”

"Huh? What kind of refinement?"

Li Chaoge was taken aback. Judging from Ying's words, the Source Cube could turn an ordinary ring into a vow ring.

This was something he had never heard of before. In the game, the Oath Ring was purchased directly from the store by players using red diamonds. In reality, he couldn't just recharge and buy the ring.

Could this be the real reason why Amagi and the others asked Ayanami Heinrich to send the Source Cube?!

"I don't understand this. Eugen and the others didn't tell me either."

Seeing the puzzled looks on Li Chaoge's and everyone else's faces, Heinrich scratched his head, looking equally bewildered.

Can the Commander craft their own Oath Ring? Then why does the Commander still have so few marriage ships?

"Does Ayanami know?"

Li Chaoge then looked at Ayanami. Since Heinrich was unreliable, he could only rely on Ayanami.

"Perhaps... it's about attaching energy to the ring?"

Looking into Li Chaoge's fixed gaze, Ayanami thought for a moment with a blank expression, and then answered uncertainly.

She didn't know much about these things either; she had only overheard Akashi muttering something while she was buying things from him.

She didn't quite understand what it meant to make a lot of money by painting gold paint on a purple box or to make a huge amount of money by applying the commander's energy to a ring.

"Yes, theoretically it's possible. It's about using the energy you used to summon us, Captain, to leave your and our marks on the ring. We can then sense each other's presence through it. That's what makes a covenant ring."

Bronya nodded and explained that the theory of the Oath Ring was not something she came up with on her own, but rather something the ship girls of Azur Lane researched themselves.

In fact, their ability to find the captain was also related to the ship girls' oath rings, but she wasn't very clear on the specifics. She only knew that the ship girls' rings did have special uses, and the captain should be able to create such rings using the Source Cube.

"I see... I'll look into that later. I haven't tried attaching energy to other objects yet."

Li Chaoge said with a hint of helplessness, "If it weren't for the ring, I probably still wouldn't know how to use the energy in my body."

Normally, he uses his energy to restore his physical strength and energy, and he also uses the rest of his energy on the summoner. He never expected that he could also make the Oath Ring.

Does this mean he can become a Lord of the Rings in the future?!

"By the way, I think you should use up your accumulated summoning slots as soon as possible, Captain."

With the topic of the ring settled, Bronya seemed to remember something and smiled at Li Chaoge.

"What's wrong, Bronya? Who are you trying to summon?"

Li Chaoge looked at Bronya with some doubt. He wanted to save up for a ten-pull before deciding which character to summon.

Although the current cooking problem has been solved, there are still many other places where people are needed, but the shortage is so great that it is difficult for him to summon them.

At this point, the others also perked up, their eyes fixed on Li Chaoge and Bronya.

This involves summoning slots, and they might even have a chance to summon their companions.

"It's not that. The problem is that if you accumulate too many summoning slots, Captain, there will be an issue."

Bronya shook her head. Although she really wanted Mei to come, she hadn't actually seen Mei or eaten Mei's cooking in a long time.

But now that so many of them have come, it's too difficult to force Mei to come over.

Although they are the strongest fighters here, the captain doesn't just look at combat strength.

"What's the problem?"

"If you accumulate enough for a ten-pull, Captain, you will be forced to do a ten-pull summon."

Bronya didn't keep him in suspense, but smiled at Li Chaoge.

"Captain, do you think you can handle ten of them at once?"

Chapter 104. The New Summoner is a Maid?! (4000 words)

"Forced 10-pull summon?!"

Li Chaoge was shocked. What was going on? Bronya had never told him anything like this before.

As someone who used to be a free-to-play player or a low-spending player, he wanted to save up some slots to summon depending on the situation, since who knows when he might encounter a time when he urgently needed help from a specific group of people again.

This is a lesson he learned from being badly beaten by many game companies; those who wait will never lose out.

Although this is not quite the same as gacha games.

Although he had previously summoned the three characters from the Root of the Bagpipes, Mona, and the others, his current energy is only enough to summon one person at most.

But now he can only accumulate nine shots at most, not ten, otherwise it will automatically summon, which makes him, who has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, uncomfortable.

This is outrageous!

Bronya

This is also why she wanted the captain to summon Bagpipe and the others directly; if the captain really summoned them ten times in a row, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

"So weird?"

"Such a thing exists?!"

"We've never heard of it either?"

Bagpipe, Exusiai, Kiana, Heinrich, and the others were all very puzzled.

"This rule was set by many people, but it wasn't made public. However, Ms. Kamisato should know about it, and Ms. Root should have heard about it as well."

Bronya smiled and explained when she saw everyone looking at her with puzzled expressions.

All eyes then fell on Ayaka Kamisato and Gengenshiki.

"Yes, I know that, but I haven't been involved in the decision-making process much."

Ayaka Kamisato nodded. In terms of strength and vision, she was still inferior to General Raiden and Yae no Miko.

The most important reason was that she and Chaoge hadn't officially established a relationship, so she was ultimately not quite qualified.

"Like Ms. Kamisato, this is not my responsibility."

Seeing that the others were also looking at her, Leziren Genyuanshi smiled and said.

This was something that Mash and a few other people who also really liked their Masters did together. Lilith was originally supposed to be involved, but her personality was a bit extreme, so she wasn't allowed to participate.

However, as compensation, Lilith had a better chance of getting tickets, and in the end, Lilith arrived at the Master's side first.

Of course, it's impossible for Lilith to cheat and monopolize the Master while everyone else is still out. Their rules are designed to prevent other powers, or even Chaldea's own people, from cheating.

"Although many people have managed to snag the 'ticket' to travel to your location, Captain, and are waiting for your summons, the initial automatic summoning energy was limited. Many were worried that the first few people might be from the same faction or encounter other problems, which is why this rule was set."

Bronya continued to explain that, after all, before actually arriving here, no one could guarantee that the verbal cooperation wouldn't fall apart, so some safeguards had to be in place.

“…” Li Chaoge.
