After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

The first and second floors are the main entertainment venues, such as board game rooms, bars, indoor gymnasiums, and even semi-open swimming pools. At the same time, there are two completely connected cross-floor areas on these two floors. One is the reception hall currently used to entertain passengers, and the other is the golden stage for the debut performance of the new artist.

Of course, in addition to the performances of new artists, other groups under Golden Entertainment will also perform on stage, ranging from ballet to opera, to symphony and even chorus. There will be one show in the morning, afternoon and evening on the second and third days.

The third floor houses the guest rooms and clinic.

The fourth floor is the dining area. Golden Entertainment claims that any kind of food in the world can be found in the dining area. No matter which country the passengers come from, or what religion they believe in and what certain requirements they have for dining, there is no need to worry on the Golden Courtyard.

As for the top five floors, if the Golden Courtyard is compared to a small town, then the fifth floor is an isolated area with a library, gym, salon... It can be said that it is a floor specifically used to enjoy a quiet atmosphere.

In short, there is nothing that is not available on the Golden Courtyard, except what you can't think of.

"...I really feel once again that this place is too big."

On the third floor, in Vita and Natsukawa Tora's double room.

Sitting on the bed and looking at the introduction brochure that comes with every room, Vita sighed again: "Only a world-class company like Golden Entertainment can afford to build such a luxurious cruise ship. Money makes all the difference."

"Just so-so."

Xia Chuanhu said as he sensed the situation in the room: "If I want, I should have several cruise ships like this in my name, right?"

This is not an exaggeration.

The main reason is that he has almost three-digit holy grails in his hands, and some of them are real ones that can actually make wishes come true. He can directly obtain astronomical personal assets as long as he makes a wish - the reason why he doesn't have it is purely because he doesn't care about money.

Who made him long past the stage of working for money?

"Compared to this, Vita, do you want to attend the welcome party?"

"Of course I have to go...ah, but I didn't bring a dress?"

Because she originally wanted to come here for fun, and there were no occasions at home where she needed to wear formal clothes, so Vita didn't actually have a dress.

"Why don't you just wear a plain dress?"

"...Isn't it too plain?" Vita pointed her fingers together. "This is a very formal and luxurious occasion, right? If I just wear a dress, will people look down on me?"

"I don't think there are people who are so blind."

Xia Chuanhu sat on the bed: "I've said it before, except for the winners, those who boarded the ship by pre-purchasing tickets are all people with certain assets. For them, [boarding the Golden Courtyard] itself is a symbol of status. As long as they don't wear cheap street goods, even if it's ordinary clothes, they will imagine a lot of things on their own."

"Of course, if you want to dress yourself up nicely, I can also do it for you on the spot."

Make one on the spot?

Vita frowned: "How to do it?"

“Do this.”

Taking out a light green shirt from Vita's opened suitcase, Xia Chuanhu glanced at Vita from head to toe, then crumpled the shirt into a ball and squeezed it hard.

"Buzz~~~~"

With a flash of light, the top immediately turned into a designer dress that looked like it was made of fine fabric, with all kinds of lace and embroidered patterns clearly visible. Even before it was put on Vita, the clothes hanger, it gave people a sense of "a peacock spreading its tail."

"Here, it's done. Go try it on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll help you modify it."

Xia Chuanhu handed the dress to Vita: "Also, if you need any small accessories, I can also make one for you on short notice. It's no problem to do it perfunctorily."

"......"

Looking at the dress in her hand, without going into the bathroom, but simply comparing it, Vita's cheeks suddenly turned red, she shrank back on the bed holding the dress, staring at Xiachuan Hu with a little shyness in her eyes: "Hu...you, you answer me a question first...how do you know my size?"

"Hmm? Just visual estimation."

Xia Chuanhu answered as a matter of course.

"Besides, we have lived together for seven years. Who has washed your clothes during this period? I know the measurements of Theresa, who rarely stays with me—"

"abnormal!"

Picking up the pillow at hand, Vita, with a red face, threw it directly at Xiachuanhu's face.

Seizing the sudden attack, Xia Chuanhu sighed slightly: "Why are you shouting now? Why didn't you shout when I first helped you wash clothes seven years ago? Don't you really need to try it?"

"Need not!"

Vita hugged her clothes tightly.

"Your cooking skills are the best anyway. I still trust you on that...Are you going too? To the welcome party?"

"Hmm~~~ I don't think there's any need to go, but I kind of want to go."

Since we saw Ying disguised as a receptionist at the entrance, maybe the rest of the World Snake...Huo Zhu Yingjie are also on the ship? In the two years since the Guangzhou incident, the World Snake has not made any further moves. Anti-Entropy and Destiny have dug deep but can't find any trace of it.

Now that the other party has shown up on his own initiative, considering Meili's style of doing things, just in case, Xia Chuanhu wants to contact the people of World Snake first to see if he can get some information out of them.

"...You should go first, Vita. I'll walk around the cruise ship by myself and then meet up with you. If you feel lonely, just go find Rita and Ragnar."

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."

With a hint of regret in her eyes, Vita walked towards the bathroom in the guest room holding her clothes.

And almost the next moment after Vita left——

"Dingling bell~~~"

The landline phone on the guest room desk rang twice.

Xia Chuanhu picked up the microphone and asked, "Who is this?"

[It's me, Sakura. I hope I didn't disturb you, Natsukawa]

Sakura's somewhat cold voice came from the microphone.

[There are things I need to tell you... or I was told to tell you. Can we find a time to meet later? ]

Xia Chuanhu's fingers trembled: "...You said no over the phone?"

【I am still at work】

"...I'll be waiting for you on deck."

[Okay, see you in an hour.]

After saying this, the call was hung up. After hanging up the receiver, Xia Chuanhu turned around, opened the window in the room, and looked out the window.

(So, what kind of event have you prepared for me this time, Meili?)

17.——【Golden Princess】

An hour passed quickly.

As all the passengers on the list boarded the ship, the Golden Courtyard sailed away from the port with a melodious sound, and the welcome banquet officially began at the moment it left the port.

Excluding crew members and other staff, all 235 people are now in the reception hall, enjoying the first activity of this voyage.

Except for Xiachuanhu.

Standing on the deck where no one would come at this time, leaning against the railing and gazing at the sea in the distance, Xiachuan Hu did nothing but wait quietly for Sakura, who had an appointment with him, to come.

And soon——

"Sir, which one would you like, champagne, red wine, whiskey or juice?"

"...give me a bottle of water of life."

"Please use."

Looking at the 96% handed to him, Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "You are really prepared, Miss Ying?"

"Because someone told me that if you want to drink, you have to drink to this extent to feel like you are drinking."

Ying, who had already taken off her receptionist's attire and put on a blue and pink dress, smiled and said, "It's been two years, Mr. Xiachuan. It's nice to meet you again."

"You... no, I should say that the snakes in your world are really generous."

Unscrewing the bottle cap, Xia Chuanhu blew a mouthful of the water of life directly into his mouth: "Two years ago, you caused such a big incident in Guangzhou. Aren't you afraid that I will settle the score and kill you all later?"

"Someone said that you are not such an unreasonable person, at least you are very reasonable when it comes to things that have nothing to do with your family." Ying said, "And what happened two years ago, from the results and process, was just that Tianming lost some insignificant spies. The Valkyrie's level of combat power did not suffer any casualties, Guangzhou itself was safe, and Chiyou's appearance was also defined as an alien marine phenomenon."

"What about the oath between the Holy Judge of Fire and Judas?"

"It has nothing to do with me."

Ying took a sip of the champagne in her hand. "At least, I didn't bring them this time. It's useless for you to ask me about them. And to sum up, there will be no potential or direct danger for me to contact you again - do you want a toast?"

"can."

Clinking the wine bottle in his hand against Ying's wine glass, Xia Chuanhu sighed helplessly: "You know me very well, or rather, the "someone" you mentioned knows me very well. Indeed, what you said is right. I don't have any legitimate reason to attack you now - unless I do something reckless."

"But you won't, at least not before I explain my purpose, right?" Ying smiled softly, "In fact, just as you thought, this cruise trip is the stage that the magician prepared for you after two years. Of course, it's not entirely for this purpose."

"Golden Entertainment is one of the many industries under World Serpent. In addition to various commercial purposes, the most important purpose of this first voyage is to allow... [Golden Princess] to make an appearance. The part related to you was added after the arrangements were completed this time."

Xia Chuanhu took another sip of wine: "So, this is a side quest that I can do or not?"

"It should be said that it is a side quest that you have to do in order to achieve the ultimate goal. However, even if you don't do it, new side quests will appear later. No matter how you shirk it, it will be useless. And according to someone, the possibility of you shirking it... is zero percent."

Sakura turned sideways and leaned on the railing like Natsukawa Tora.

"I don't know the details of the branch quest. After all, I only received three tasks this time - to ensure the safety of [Golden Princess], to meet you as a receptionist when you board the ship, and to tell you the relevant information now. There is also a task that is not considered a task, [Relax]."

"Of course, I don't know the significance of these actions, but a mission is a mission, and I am just following the mission."

Both sense of sight.

Listening to Sakura's words, Xiachuan Hu had a sense of déjà vu.

(In order to execute a huge plan, the plan itself is divided into countless small plans and even small arrangements, and these arrangements are handed over to different people without telling them why they are doing this...ah~~~ No, I have a picture in my mind.)

Xia Chuanhu held his forehead with his hand.

"Merry, Merry...your bad taste really never changes no matter how many years pass."

“I totally agree with that.”

Ying nodded in agreement: "Although I shouldn't bring personal emotions into work, but within the Fire Moth, the person you mentioned and the other person are the only ones I find it difficult to deal with. She often issues some pretty absurd orders, and every time it causes a lot of trouble for the operations department and even the logistics department."

"I can understand that. After all, her principle of doing things is to have fun. As long as she finds something interesting, she wouldn't care even if the world is destroyed. Her personality is so bad that I even doubt how I could have fallen in love with someone like her." Xia Chuanhu covered his face and recalled his own dark history.

"Black-bellied, a riddle-teller, a hedonist, a stab in the back, a bitch on the outside but a tyrant on the inside, a cold-blooded animal, who doesn't treat people as human beings... To put it in an exaggerated way, that guy is a big scourge."

“It really couldn’t be a more apt description.”

As people who had both been tormented by the flower magician, Xiachuan Hu and Ying felt a strong resonance at this moment, and the wine bottle and wine glass clinked again.

Even if it was a heartless assassin or a holy sword user who had saved the world countless times, as long as they had common topics, they could quickly establish the most basic friendship.

"It was my negligence."

After taking another sip of champagne, Ying looked at Xiachuanhu and said, "In terms of [mutual understanding], she is the same as you. Even if it is for the purpose of being able to better deal with her unreasonable requests in the future, maybe I should ask you more about her?"

"Sure, it's not a secret, but in exchange, I'd also like to get answers to a few questions from you. Is that not too much?"

"It's not excessive. After all, this is not within the scope of the mission."

(It seems to be task-oriented, but it is actually quite relaxed.)

Xia Chuanhu smiled slightly: "In short... First tell me if there are any World Snake members other than you on this ship, and who is the [Golden Princess] you mentioned?"

"..."

Sakura fell silent for a moment.

"...Do you want me to reveal our intelligence?"

"It's just a friendly exchange of information. I will also reveal [our] information later." Xia Chuanhu smiled and knocked on the railing. "I guess this won't hinder your mission?"

"That's not good."

After finishing the champagne, Sakura turned and walked towards the entrance to the ship. "Half of the people on board, including me, are from World Serpent. Among them are three executives, namely Raven, Gray Snake, and Jackal. As for Golden Princess...you will know tomorrow night."

"Goodbye, see you later if there's a chance."

After saying that, Sakura's figure completely disappeared from Xiachuan Hu's sight.

18. You gain weight

Xia Chuanhu did not stay on the deck for too long. After drinking a whole bottle of water of life as if it were boiled water, he casually turned the empty bottle into a small ornament. At the same time, he transformed his clothes into an ordinary dress. He also went directly to the reception hall.
