After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

"You guys... um~~~ just study hard in school."

"Eh~~~~"

------------------

California, USA.

In an apartment building.

"Okay... that's it."

Closing the suitcase that was stuffed with stuff, the 23-year-old Muryota Himeko, who was much more mature than she was five years ago, wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "The next step is to wait and get on the plane to Tenmei... This day has come so fast."

[So you still don't want to go? Himeko]

A ball of pitch-black fur suddenly jumped out of Wuliangta Jizi's coat pocket.

[If you really don't want to go to Tianming to pay your debt, I can help you. I guarantee that Tianming won't find you.]

"Mr. Peppermint."

Looking at this black ball of fur, Wuliangta Jizi was not surprised at all. After all, she had known this little guy for several years.

Four years ago, not long after she learned about her father's experience from the Valkyrie of Destiny, this little fur ball that called itself "Mint Candy" appeared in front of her. It claimed to be an alien friend of Himeko Murata's father, and came to help Himeko Murata because of his last request before going to prison.

After Mint showed some special abilities, Wuliangta Jizi believed in its identity as an alien and lived with it for four years.

"No, that would trouble you and the others in the candy house."

Picking up the mint candy and placing it on her shoulder, Himeko Murata went to the open-air balcony of the apartment and looked out.

"I don't know what my father did to be arrested by Tianming, but since it was my father's fault, I can't escape as his daughter. The family motto of the Wuliangta family is to bravely pursue your dreams."

[Dream? Isn't your dream to explore the universe? It's the same as Ryusuke's.]

"That's my biggest dream! But now I have a new dream - that is to find out the truth about my dad's arrest!" Wuliangta Jizi smiled seriously, "The Valkyrie of Destiny said that my dad was arrested because he betrayed Destiny, but I don't believe it. I want to rely on my own efforts to investigate what happened back then while paying off the debt, and then get my dad out of jail!"

"After that, I will continue to study with my dad and work hard to explore the universe!"

【Himeko...】

Looking at the confident look of Wuliangta Jizi, Mint sighed imperceptibly.

It witnessed the entire process of what happened five years ago and knew that Ryusuke Murata was not wronged at all. But if it told Himeko the truth directly...she would probably be very sad and in pain, right?

[…I will help you, Himeko]

"Yeah! Let's work on this together, mint!"

Himeko Murata showed a pure and brilliant smile.

"But the biggest headache for me right now is the debt... I feel overwhelmed just looking at that number. How many years will it take to pay it back? It's good that they promised to pay off my debt with the rent, but where will I live? They won't rent me a basement at a high price, will they? I also have to be frugal with my three meals a day..."

[Hey! Cheer up! Himeko!]

[Where was your confident look just now? ]

7. This is your own fault

Destiny.

This was not the first time that Wuliangta Jizi had heard of this organization. After all, it was a world-renowned charity aid agency and a large enterprise. Its predecessor was a large church with a history that could be traced back hundreds of years.

But it was four years ago that Wuliangta Jizi first truly realized the truth about the organization Tianming.

She remembered that it was an afternoon with neither good nor bad weather. She had just finished a day's classes and was on her way back to the apartment when she was approached by two Valkyries from Skymandate. She learned from them about her father - stealing Skymandate secrets, intending to attack friendly organizations, absconding for fear of crime... Hearing such a series of charges, Wuliangta Jizi was a little unconvinced for a moment.

But after the Valkyrie of Destiny produced relevant evidence, Wuliangta Jizi had no choice but to accept it no matter how unwilling she was to believe it. At the same time, she also realized the huge debt she was carrying. To put it bluntly, it was a debt that she could not repay even if she sold herself.

Faced with her panic, the Valkyrie of Destiny also gave a corresponding solution - after she graduated from Caltech, she must follow the arrangement of Destiny, enter the designated research institute to work, and repay the debt through salary until the debt is completely paid off.

Wuliangta Jizi spent a night sorting out her thoughts, and after consulting many people and asking for their opinions in obscure ways, she made a decision.

And now...

----------------

"Gulu gulu~~~"

Dragging her suitcase into the waiting hall of the Tianming headquarters, after taking a look at the messages on her mobile phone, Wuliangta Jizi looked around.

"It's OK to stop here... Next I just have to wait for someone to pick me up, right?"

After finding an empty seat, Wuliangta Jizi sat down nervously.

(This is Destiny... I didn't expect it to be an island floating in the sky.)

In the past four years, Wuliangta Jizi has learned some things about Tianming through various channels and by daring to directly ask people related to Tianming.

Although it is a world-scale aid organization on the surface, Tianming actually has multiple identities and natures. The aid organization is just the one that is most suitable to be put on the surface. What Tianming pays most attention to is a natural disaster called [Houkai] and the various by-products that accompany this natural disaster.

To put it in an extreme way, the organization of Tianming itself has been committed to fighting against Houkai for hundreds of years, and has developed a large number of branches all over the world. As for the Tianming headquarters that governs all branches... Wuliangta Jizi really couldn't believe her eyes when she investigated the relevant information.

The floating island that only appeared in science fiction works in the past actually exists in reality! And it does not belong to any country in the world, but only to a private organization called Tianming! It was even built by Tianming itself!

[I must be dreaming~~~~]

At that time, Wuliangta Jizi's mood was like the crackling fireworks.

And now, after using all kinds of means and excuses to give herself four years of preparation time, she finally came to this floating island that overlooks the entire world. From now on, until her death, she will continue to work here to pay off her debts.

(Dad... I'm finally here. I want to clear your name and find out the truth behind your arrest... I have to start from here, right?)

(I will definitely find it!)

Nestled in the coat pocket of Himeko Murata, feeling her determination, Mint Candy also pulled out of the pocket helplessly.

[Don't be too nervous, Jizi. There's still plenty of time to go. If you keep yourself so tense from the beginning, you'll be unable to bear it sooner or later. Now just treat it as if you have come to a new place and are ready to embrace a new life. Be optimistic and happy.]

[I will help you with Ryusuke's matter]

"Mint... Well, I'm sorry for bothering you to cheer me up every time." Wuliangta Jizi took a deep breath and slowly calmed down her nervous mood. "But, hasn't the person who picked me up come yet? Wasn't this the time stated in the message?"

It is now a little after 4:30 in the afternoon of Tianming time. Yesterday, Wuliangta Jizi had already told the staff of Tianming who was in contact with her about her itinerary, and she was also told that someone would come to pick her up to handle all the formalities.

It seemed that during the years when she devoted herself to her doctoral studies, Tianming had already prepared a job and a place to live for her. As long as she arrived at Tianming, she could directly and smoothly start her long life of paying off her debts.

(Oh, no, my stomach is starting to ache again just thinking about that debt...)

"...Found it. You are here, Miss Himeko."

Suddenly, a young-sounding male voice sounded in Wuliangta Himeko's ears.

Ji Zi looked up quickly, and saw that a blond boy of the same age as her... or even younger was standing next to her, and he was holding a wooden sign in his hand?

【Warmly welcome Ms. Wuliangta Jizi to Tianming! 】

Seeing this line of words on the wooden sign, it was probably not an illusion. Wuliangta Jizi suddenly felt that the attention of everyone in the airport was focused on her.

(Could it be that he is the one who came to pick me up...?)

If that's the case, then she wants to run away now!

She just came to Tianming to work normally, why did they prepare such a wooden sign for her? It made her seem like some big shot!

(By the way, why do I feel like he looks familiar...)

[Have you forgotten? Didn't you meet him five years ago? ]

Mint reminded.

[When Ryusuke went to look for you, he brought him with him... Tsk, I didn't expect that this guy would come to pick you up. Is this also considered a bad fate? ]

"I can hear you, Mint."

Putting down the wooden sign in his hand, the blond boy - Xiachuan Hu - smiled and said: "Long time no see, Miss Jizi, I am Xiachuan, I don't know if you still remember me, we met five years ago. You are much more beautiful and mature than five years ago. It's true that girls change a lot when they grow up."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xiachuan..." Wuliangta Jizi stood up quickly.

"You can just call me Xiachuan, or you can call me by my name [Tiger]. Sorry, something happened to me at the last minute. Did I keep you waiting? I've prepared a car to take you home, come with me."

"Okay...eh?"

After a brief pause, Wuliangta Jizi suddenly realized a key point: "...the car [going home]?"

"Ah."

"Shouldn't we go to my house, or first to the research institute where I'm going to work?"

"The research institute will be back to work the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is a day off specially reserved for you to use to familiarize yourself with the situation of Tianming."

Xia Chuanhu explained: "As for the house...we did prepare a house for you to rent according to your request so that you can repay your debt. But the ownership of that house is mine. In other words, I am your landlord. From today on, you have to live in my house and pay me rent."

"Please take care of me, Miss Himeko."

"......yes....."

At this moment, Wuliangta Jizi felt as if she had stepped into a bottomless pit, or as if she was covered by an invisible net.

What she wants is a single apartment!

8.Do you still have a stage that can be dismantled?

According to Wuliangta Jizi's plan, after arriving in Tianming, she should be taken to an old apartment building first, where she would start a hard life alone, and would need to save on food, clothing and other expenses. Her workplace would also be a terrible job where she would be busy for twenty hours out of twenty-four hours a day, leaving her with almost no leisure time.

She would have to work hard to pay off her debts bit by bit under such a terrible situation, and secretly investigate the truth behind her father's arrest - this was supposed to be the case, right? At least in her personal imagination, she didn't think she would be treated well in Tianming at all.

But why is she now...

"Welcome to our Natsukawa family! Miss Himeko!"

In the living room of Xiachuan's house.

Following the announcement made by Vita, the leader, the firecrackers in everyone's hands were set off together, and a large amount of colorful ribbons flew directly onto Wuliangta Jizi!

Wuliangta Jizi: "......"

The completely unexpected development made her, who was still dragging the suitcase in her hand, stunned for a moment. While she was stunned, Siegfried and Xiachuanhu took her suitcase and handbag aside one after another, and Vita followed closely and put a glass of juice in her hand.

"Then let's drink to celebrate Miss Himeko's arrival!"

"Cheers!"×N

It could almost be said that she was led by Vita to raise the glass, and by the time Himeko Murata herself reacted, she had already clinked glasses with everyone else.

(What is going on?)

Such questions naturally appeared in her mind.

She was beginning to completely lose track of what was happening in front of her. Why was her arrival being celebrated like this? And looking at the table, it seemed like a large feast had been prepared!

"Um... Sister Himeko?"

"Eh? Are you calling me?"

Hearing someone calling her, Himeko Muryota quickly lowered her head, while Bianca, who was holding a large plate of cake, raised the menu with a smile: "Sister, do you want some cake? My brother taught me how to make it!"

"......elder brother?"

"That's me."

Xia Chuanhu came over and said with a smile: "Bianca said that she wanted to make a cake to welcome a new sister. I gave her some instructions and I tried the taste. It's very good."

"This... no no no, what is going on?"

Wuliangta Jizi shook her head quickly a few times: "Is this... a welcome party specially held for me?"

"Yes, after all, you will be living with us for a long time. There is a new member in the family, so of course we have to welcome him well." Xia Chuanhu said while taking a sip of his drink, "This is also a decision made considering your future life. After all, you will have a harder life in the future, so at least let you relax at the beginning."

"...I, I really want to live here? Can I really live here?"

Looking at the surrounding environment which was obviously more upscale than the apartment she used to live in, Wuliangta Jizi couldn't believe that she could actually live in a place that could be said to be like a detached villa.

She came here to pay off her debt!

Normally, shouldn't he be unfriendly to her?!

Seeing the disbelief and surprise on Wuliangta Himeko's face, and even some other scattered emotions, Xia Chuanhu patted the drink cup in his hand, and the entire cup along with the juice in the cup immediately turned into a blooming flower, which he then pinned on Wuliangta Himeko's chest.
