After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

"Well... you can't say that."

Cecilia shook her head. "I can't get too far away from the Black Abyss White Flower. About one or two meters is the limit. If I exceed this distance, I will disappear and then reappear in this range. I have no means of directly observing what has happened in the past seven years."

“There are other people helping me.”

As she said this, Cecilia pushed aside her bangs, revealing a green leaf-shaped mark on her forehead that was emitting a faint light.

"This seems to have been implanted by that lady during my rebirth. Thanks to this, I have to receive some information from the outside world from time to time. Otherwise, I would not have been able to maintain my self-confidence and sobriety after staying in that dark space for 12 years."

Xia Chuanhu remembered that his highest record was that he was on an empty moon, closing all his senses and cosplaying as Kaz for more than 20 years.

"I see. It seems that the reason why I received your [Last Words] seven years ago was also because of this [Heavenly Eye]."

"Yes, I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

"That won't happen."

Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "Although she is a troublesome girl, Bianca... Xilin as you call her, is also my beloved sister now. If I have to say something troublesome, it is that her academic performance gives me some headaches."

"You are very strict with her."

"I guess so—go on."

"Ok."

Cecilia organized her words: "As I said just now, because of this Sky Eye, I have received a lot of information from the outside world intermittently. In addition, many people from the Shanyat family wanted to use the Black Abyss White Flower before, but based on the contract between me and that lady, I rejected everyone."

The contract between Cecilia and Mellie?

"What is the content of the contract?"

"The next person to use the Black Abyss White Flower must be myself, or my daughter, or someone she designates. No one else is allowed to use the Black Abyss White Flower." Cecilia explained, "In addition, according to the contract, the moment I accept the contract, the ownership belongs to an organization called World Serpent, and..."

"If I ever regain my true life, I must act for all your purposes, Natsukawa Tiger."

9. Almost Becoming Prime Minister Cao

There are several clauses in the contract between Cecilia and Mellie.

First: Mary helped Cecilia survive the fatal situation as a conscious being.

Second: Cecilia is not allowed to allow anyone other than her, Kiana, or Meli to use the Black Abyss White Flower.

Third: The ownership of Cecilia's existence is transferred from Destiny to the World Serpent.

Fourth: After Cecilia is reborn in any form, she needs to give everything for all of Xiachuanhu's goals and act for Xiachuanhu with all her heart and soul.

To be honest, after listening to Cecilia's explanation of the contract, Xia Chuanhu's first reaction was -

"That's it?"

He didn't mean to offend her, but based on his understanding of Mary, when it came to this opportunity where she could use the "life-saving grace" to squeeze Cecilia to death and squeeze out all the value from her, Mary actually only proposed these three seemingly harmless conditions?

After all, among these three conditions for Cecilia, the only ones that might have an impact are the last two.

But Cecilia only belongs to the World Serpent in name, and the possibility of her being affected by it is very small. The same goes for the last one. Since Cecilia is Siegfried's wife and Kiana's mother, he will help Cecilia even for the sake of being a friend and disciple.

It's just about allowing a conscious being to have a movable body. This is really not a problem. As for the conditions that Cecilia needs to pay for this... It's not that he looks down on Cecilia, it's just that there is really nothing in Xiachuan Hu that requires Cecilia to give up everything.

Putting forward a few conditions that have no practical value, is this still the scum whose purpose of existence is to have fun?

"This is different from the Meili I know. Could it be that you are of no use to her?"

"I think... it should be?"

Cecilia's expression darkened for a moment. "I didn't meet that lady... and Miss Meili during the Second Collapse. I knew her before that - before I met Siegfried and Theresa."

"At that time, Miss Meili seemed to be looking for all kinds of people with what she called "special qualifications" around the world, and I was one of the people she liked. The first time we met was when I was ten years old. She came into my dream and met me."

Cecilia still remembers what happened at that time very clearly.

In that boundless sea of ​​star flowers, she met the flower magician.

"Miss Meili taught me a lot of things, in all aspects. She also invited me to join an organization she wanted to establish called the Knights of the Round Table. But after I met Siegfried and decided to marry him, Miss Meili never showed up again."

"It wasn't until the eve of the second collapse that she met with me and proposed the above contract."

[Although you have been kicked off the candidate list, you are still one of my students. If you can accept it, I can save your life when you are about to die~~~]

That's what Mary said at the time.

At the end of the second collapse, Cecilia indeed met death and welcomed her own [second life].

"To this day, I still don't understand why Miss Mary came to me, nor do I understand what she saw in me. But in a sense, even though I had lost my value to her, she was still responsible for me until the end. So I am actually very grateful to Miss Mary, just as I am grateful to you."

(Is this kid the kind of nice guy who would happily help Mary out for thousands of dollars even if she sold him out?)

Xia Chuanhu looked at Cecilia calmly.

Cecilia didn't understand, but Xia Chuanhu understood the actions of Meili that she described. But because he understood, he actually felt a little complicated and embarrassed.

(This Meili...almost turned me into Prime Minister Cao!)

Ya Knights of the Round Table.

That was originally a group of knights led by King Arthur, and was the most important force and companion during King Arthur's conquests. However... unlike Altria's Knights of the Round Table, Arthur Pendragon's best friend, the Knights of the Round Table, except for himself and Mordred, were all women!

Therefore, they were also jokingly called Arthur's Round Table harem. Every Knight of the Round Table coveted Arthur's body. During the burning of humanity, Xia Chuan Hu met with several female knights from Arthur's side.

After inheriting the Holy Sword of the Stars, Meli ignored Xiachuan Hu's own wishes and began to set up her own Knights of the Round Table - but it was not officially established until after he got married, and the members were naturally the female brothers who had received the red book with him.

So, if Mellie wants to establish the Knights of the Round Table in this world, and even wants to bring Cecilia into it...

"Um, Mrs. Cecilia... my social scum who only knows how to cause trouble to others has really caused trouble for you. I am really sorry."

Seeing Cecilia's puzzled look, Xia Chuanhu apologized very solemnly.

"It's probably not an apology, but if you want to regain your body, I can contact relevant experts to help you prepare it. I can definitely create a body that is 100% identical to yours when you were alive. You can make any additional requests."

"Uh...this..."

Cecilia was a little confused.

Why was Xia Chuan Hu suddenly so polite to her? Did he do something to offend her? But Cecilia thought that she should be the one who was polite to Xia Chuan Hu?

"Anyway, please raise your head first, Mr. Xiachuan. I am the one who should apologize to you. You have worked hard to take care of my family over the years."

"No, no, no, compared to the conspiracy that Merry almost accomplished, taking care of that idiot Siegfried is nothing."

(By the way, should I also apologize to Siegfried?)

(Hmm... I don't really have that urge, so I'll just put some water in his pocket during training next time and hit him a little more gently.)

After having more contact with people from the United States, Xia Chuanhu has become a little hypocritical.

Although he is hypocritical to begin with, his attitudes towards Siegfried and Kiana are completely different.

"Anyway, if you have any requests, just tell me. Although I can't say that all your requests can be met, I will try my best."

"You really don't need to worry about me like this, Mr. Xiachuan." Cecilia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I am actually very satisfied to be with Kiana like this, to accompany her to grow up, to fight with her, and to watch Siegfried."

"I am already dead. To be honest, I don't have much expectation or idea of ​​being reborn. So please let me stay like this now - by the way, if possible, please don't reveal my existence."

"...Siegfried too?"

"Yes."

Cecilia put her hand on her chest and said, "I am a remnant of the past, not his real wife. So I don't want him, who has now walked out of the shadow of the past, to fall into the past again because of me."

"Even if he lost me, he should have continued to move forward and look forward. I think that's what my lover should do. As for me who has already passed away, I just need to watch him quietly in the past."

The dead should not continue to interfere with the present world.

The living should move towards the future.

This is a truth that never changes in any era or world.

Xia Chuanhu smiled softly and said, "I understand. I respect your will, Madam Cecilia."

"However, I will still have someone prepare your new body. After all, who knows, maybe you'll change your mind in the future? We still need to make some preparations in this regard."

"Maybe... when Kiana marries her lover in the future, you will be unable to resist attending as a mother."

Cecilia also laughed out loud: "Hahaha~ Indeed, I would like to thank you here first, Mr. Xiachuan."

"I will come to bother you from time to time in the future. I hope I won't cause you too much trouble."

"Well, please take care of me, Lady Cecilia."

10. Paying too much for a doll

Pi: "——In summary, please prepare a doll for me, Orange."

"A good summary."

In the director's office of the Saint 1504 Institute, lighting a thin cigarette, Aozaki Touko looked indifferently at Natsukawa Tora who was sitting in front of her: "This is your first time coming to my place, and I thought you were here to play workplace games with me, but it turns out you came to ask me to work for you - I knew you wouldn't come to my place for no reason."

"Your place smells too much of cigarettes, and what about workplace play? How many years has it been since we last played it?"

"forget."

Aozaki Touko took a puff of cigarette: "However, I didn't expect that Meili would actually do such a thing. It seems that she is having a lot of fun in this world. But for you, is this a bit regrettable?"

"Regret? Why?"

"Isn't it a pity that a beautiful woman who should have belonged to you is gone?"

"Who do you think I am?"

Xia Chuanhu smiled bitterly: "Even if Lady Cecilia really followed Meili's arrangement and became a member of the Knights of the Round Table, I would not accept it all. I admit that I am a playboy, but I take relationships very seriously. In this regard, I can proudly say that I am a pure love party."

"...How dare you say that?"

Even though she knew that Natsukawa Tora was thick-skinned enough, Aozaki Toru still couldn't hold it in.

You call that [relatively] fickle?

Do you want to count how many people you and others have obtained marriage certificates?

"Of course I feel good about it. I have a clear conscience." Xia Chuanhu said confidently, "Madam Cecilia is indeed a beauty, and she is not much worse than anyone in our family, but if you miss her, you miss her. Now she is Siegfried's wife, and I am not shameless enough to do that."

"Similarly, I'm not that hungry. You know I don't have any emotional ups and downs right now. I only have emotional fluctuations towards certain people, and Madam Cecilia obviously doesn't count."

While saying this, Xiachuanhu also came to Aozaki Touko and said, "Now, Touko, you are the only one who can make me have feelings, right?"

"Then I really want to thank you for thinking of me so much."

Aozaki Touko rolled her eyes at him: "There are obviously two or three little girls hiding at home. When Kiana asked you to help her put on the necklace yesterday, you also noticed it, right? Those eyes were very concerned."

"I don't really care about that..."

"Just pretend."

Pushing her little man aside, Aozaki Touko picked up the conditions that Natsukawa Tora had placed on the coffee table between them: "Is this the production requirement? Hmm... I remember that there is Cecilia Shaniat's physical data in the Destiny database, so I directly used that as a basis for production. There are no additional requirements... huh?"

"Madam Cecilia doesn't have a particularly strong desire to revive. I came to ask you for help just in case. Even without you, relying on the ability of the Black Abyss White Flower, I might be able to create a body." Xia Chuanhu said, "But compared to the Key of God in this world, I still trust your technology more."

"Humph, of course."

After putting out the cigarette, Aozaki Touko smiled triumphantly, then stretched out her hand in front of Natsukawa Tiger.

Xia Chuanhu tilted his head and put his hand on it.

"Snapped!"

Aozaki Touko slapped his hand away in return: "I didn't ask you to shake hands with me, are you a dog?"

"Then why are you reaching out?"

"Give me money."

Aozaki Touko said this with great righteousness and confidence.

Xia Chuanhu was stunned for a moment: "Give money? Um... Chengzi, do we still have to give money like this? It's either your money or my money, and my money is your money?"

"You didn't give me your salary card, and Gray and Ayaka are the ones who take care of the accounts at home. They keep track of every penny you spent on the game." Aozaki Touko smiled and said, "Well, there's no need to give cash. You know, money in the general sense has no value to us."

"So do you want magic materials? Or holy relics? It's not easy to collect these things in this world."

If we look at it from a completely objective standpoint, the price of having a doll made by Aozaki Touko is absolutely sky-high!

A magic family with a history of about a hundred years cannot afford to buy a single puppet even if they sell all their property. Only ancient families with a history of hundreds or even thousands of years have the funds to purchase the works of top puppeteers. Even so, the price of a puppet can break those families' bones.
