50. What's Next
These were all the things Meili asked Ying to convey, and Xiachuan Hu almost understood what Meili meant.
(If you think about it carefully, it is true. I met with Mary directly instead of being exiled to another galaxy, which directly destroyed Mary's plans for the next few years. It would take a lot of time to make a new plan.)
(It would take quite some time to decide which plan to adopt next - but it was a bold move for Meli to actively create division within the World Serpent.)
On the surface, all command of the Earth Headquarters was handed over to Mobius, but in fact, at least three heroes were secretly assisting him.
Is Meili going to turn the World Serpent into a winery?
"I have no problem with this arrangement."
Putting away her phone, Sakura spoke first: "Whether it's for the World Snake Operation or as Xiachuan's helper, it makes no difference to me. After all, this is also the order of that witch. It's the same for Hua, right?"
"Yeah, about the same as you." Fu Hua nodded straightforwardly this time. "Although Meili's instructions are often inhumane, they have never been wrong. This time is much better than usual, and I have no objection."
"Since this is a direct instruction from Paradise, I will obey it."
Huang Jinji also nodded.
Looking at the three people who accepted Meili's instructions quite habitually without any suspicion, Xia Chuanhu suddenly remembered the situation when he was in Chaldea.
He had left Chaldea a long time ago, and had handed over the operations department to Fujimaru Ritsuka. Meili served as the third director and commander-in-chief of Chaldea. After all, Olga Marie still had things to do in the astronomy department, and it was impossible for her to stay in Chaldea forever.
But Xiachuan Hu didn't just stop going to Chaldea. He would go back occasionally to check on the situation and provide some guidance.
What he felt most deeply was that Chaldea had almost become a place where Meli had the final say. None of the employees had ever questioned or objected to the instructions issued by Meli, just like Sakura, Fu Hua and Huang Jinji now.
If Olga Marie and Meili were not now considered a family, and if Chaldea's medical department had not had a married man who loved watching virtual anchors and showing off strawberry cakes every day, Meili would have already become the king of Chaldea.
"You guys accepted it pretty quickly. Is that okay?"
Xia Chuanhu asked: "Meili asked you to assist me by carrying your companions on your back."
"It happens all the time."
8①④⑨ ling ③Qi Bar
Ying thought back to the past: "I was born in the Poison Pupa, and I was originally carrying out missions in secret. I can be said to be the first person to come into contact with Meili. At that time, she pretended to be a senior executive of a department of the Fire Moth. From time to time, she would give me some special tasks, such as collecting some things according to her requirements while carrying out a certain attack mission... There are many similar situations."
"It seems like it's not just me."
Fu Hua also smiled bitterly: "Just treat it as a confidential mission. Even if it is exposed later, I don't think Professor Mobius will have much reaction. Please don't worry about our affairs, Mr. Xiachuan - compared to this, the last sentence that Meili said... who else are you going to see later? And it's related to Padu."
"Huh? What's going on?"
At another table, hearing her name being mentioned, Padufils wagged her tail and ran over quickly: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's true that there is something - Paduo, I remember you came from a sanatorium, right?" Xia Chuanhu asked.
Padufils nodded. "Yes, but it's called a sanatorium, but it can also be called a church, or an orphanage or welfare home. Mother Nia is a very good person. She will help anyone who is in trouble, and she herself will go out to help people from time to time. For example, I was picked up by Mother Nia."
"Nya mom?"
When Ying and Fu Hua heard this name, the figure of a person appeared in their minds at the same time.
(Could it be that...)
(Could it be...)
"Can you take me to your sanatorium after that? Let's wait until the voyage is over. It's on the way anyway." Xia Chuanhu said with a smile, "I want to talk to your [Mother Nia] about something."
"It's possible..."
Padufils rolled her eyes, then leaned close to Xia Chuanhu's ear and whispered, "But boss, why did you meet her? We agreed not to let anyone know that I got on board. I really don't want to be scolded by Nia's mother."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. It's just some work matters." Xia Chuanhu smiled and pushed Padufils away. "Sin Ming and Anti-Entropy started a lot of cooperation a few years ago. One of the cooperations was related to the orphanage. Because there were too many orphans originally protected by Anti-Entropy, many of them have been taken in by the orphanage under Sin Ming over the years."
"I think you should be one of our partners, so I want to go over and take a look at the situation. It's like a field trip."
(Obviously, he was going to see his old lover.)
Hearing Xia Chuanhu's casual excuse, Vita curled her lips slightly and kicked Xia Chuanhu under the table.
However, a question arose in Vita's mind.
Whether it is Aozaki Touko or Meili, these people who had a relationship with Natsukawa Tora in the past are all independent individuals. According to themselves, they quickly grew from [seeds] to [adults] after coming to this world.
Then will that [Mother Nia] also be a separate individual?
Or......
"What? Just this kind of thing? Sure, sure, no problem at all!"
Padufils had no doubts about Xia Chuanhu's statement and agreed immediately: "By the way, boss, about me making extra money..."
"This also has to be kept secret, right?"
"That's right! And if you need any help in the future, boss, I can help you." Padufils smiled and made a money gesture, "Be it people or things, as long as the reward is enough, we can get them all for you!"
(…As expected of Padre.)
Fu Hua sighed slightly.
As the last two seats among the Thirteen Heroes, she actually has a very good relationship with Padofils. The other party is one of her few friends. She has also heard Padofils say these words just now.
(After all the twists and turns, Padu is still somewhat related to us. I hope she won’t encounter the same things that happened before.)
"Excuse me for disturbing you guys."
The voice from beside interrupted Fu Hua's thoughts.
Raven pushed a dining cart to the table and said, "The appetizers are ready. Can we start serving?"
"Well, sure, let's get started."
Xia Chuanhu threw Padufils back to Rita: "Let's talk about what happens next while we eat."
Volume
1. It’s nice to have your feet on the ground
Two days passed quickly.
As the Golden Courtyard docked at a port, its first voyage was officially declared over.
After dragging her suitcase off the boat, Vita stretched her body and said, "Well, I'm finally back on shore. I've been on the boat for almost four days. I really miss the feeling of stepping on the ground."
"Didn't we just go to the moon?"
Xia Chuanhu followed her down the boat and said, "Didn't you step on the ground at that time?"
"They are different. The earth is the earth, the moon is the moon, and the touch is different." Vita corrected, "Tiger, you have been on the boat for four days, don't you feel anything?"
"If you had experienced a few circumnavigations in the 15th and 16th centuries, you would not have had such doubts."
Although with Xiachuanhu's own abilities, he could walk on the sea and complete the round-the-world voyage on his own feet, but doing so would be a waste of time and energy, so he followed the trend and disguised himself as an ordinary sailor to sneak into Magellan's fleet.
Of course, it's not just Magellan. Since the development of navigation is a very important part of human history, he participated in most of the important voyages in human history to ensure that nothing would go wrong. He had been on the fleets of Columbus and Drake, for example.
If we count from the mythological era, he even boarded Jason's Argo. At that time, he had worked with Chiron for a long time, and Jason had grown up with him. When Jason saw that Chiron was also going to board the ship, his expression was so wonderful.
"Your past experiences sound very interesting, don't they? Tell me more about them when you have the chance. We can take turns telling them tonight." Vita smiled. "Compared to this, what about Ying and the others? Didn't they get off the ship?"
"Ying stayed on the ship. She has to escort Eden back to the base. The Golden Courtyard also has to sail back to the port under the name of the World Serpent. We are the only ones getting off the ship."
Fu Hua came over at this time, accompanied by Rita and Ragnar: "If I didn't need to go to Tianming again, I probably wouldn't get off the ship now."
"I see. So you are planning to go back to Tianming directly?" Xia Chuanhu asked. "I remember that you are British, Rita. It's a rare opportunity to go back to your hometown. Aren't you planning to go home and take a look?"
"There will be many opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush."
Rita smiled and shook her head. "Besides, my hometown is in Manchester, which is quite far from here. If I want to go home to visit my family, it would be better to take a direct flight from the headquarters. But I didn't expect that you, teacher, actually remembered my origins?"
"You are my student. If I can't even remember your information, then what kind of teacher am I? How are you going to get back to the headquarters? To the airport to catch a plane?"
"Of course, we have already contacted the headquarters on the ship. If we set off for the airport now, we should be able to catch the special plane." After saying that, Ragnar also asked: "What about you two? Are you going back to the headquarters? Or do you plan to stay in the UK for a few more days? Xia Chuan, I have to remind you that we both have to go to work the day after tomorrow."
"I'm fine. I can ask someone to substitute for me, but you're the only lecturer in your El-Melloi classroom. If you don't go back, those students will have nowhere to go to school."
Ragnar's urging is not without reason.
Xia Chuanhu nodded slightly: "Of course I know, I will definitely go back before the class starts the day after tomorrow, don't worry about that."
"That's good. It's almost time, let's go, Rita, Senior Fu Hua."
"it is good."
After waving to Xia Chuanhu and Vita, Fu Hua and the other two turned and left. But just as they were about to disappear into the crowd, Xia Chuanhu suddenly moved his lips, as if he said something in a very low voice and at a very fast speed. Fu Hua's body trembled immediately, and she turned her head slightly to look at him, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Subsequently,
"...I understand. I'll wait for you at headquarters."
After leaving these words, Fu Hua followed the two people in front.
As for the strange behavior between Fu Hua and Xia Chuan Hu, Vita raised her eyebrows slightly: "You asked her out in front of me like this? Hu - what secrets can only be told to her?"
"I just want to complete a will that has been delayed for several years. It has nothing to do with you."
As Xia Chuanhu spoke, he glanced around. His clairvoyant eyes, which could make all Archers bow down to him, quickly locked onto a figure in the crowd. He quickly walked a few steps with Vita and then grabbed the man by the back of his collar.
"Where do you want to go? Little Padu, I'm looking for you."
"Mmmmm! Boss, boss, boss, boss?!"
Padufils, who was grabbed by the collar, shuddered and stammered, "Who did I think it was? Really, don't scare me! It's creepy to sneak up behind someone."
"I came here openly, not sneaking around... Are you hiding your tail?"
"correct."
Padufils touched her visibly bulging waist and said, "Walking outside with a tail hanging out is too conspicuous. It's easy for people to misunderstand that I have some special fetish, so I will hide my tail in crowded places like this."
"Isn't your tail quite sensitive? Won't it feel rubbing if it's wrapped like this?"
Vita poked the circle on Padua's belly, and she was so scared that she quickly covered her tail and jumped away for a distance.
"Well, Madam Boss, you really can't poke my tail randomly. I'm very careful when I move now, so please be kind and don't touch it randomly."
"Hmm~~~~What did you call me just now?"
"Madam boss?"
Snapped!
The beaming Vita smiled and touched Padufils' head: "I now find you a very cute child. I will never touch your tail again."
"You should restrain yourself, Vita." Xia Chuanhu looked at her helplessly, "Let's get back to the point, Paduo, you should not have forgotten that I said before that I wanted you to help lead the way to meet your mother Nia. Now that we have also disembarked, shouldn't you also lead the way for us?"
"Oh, of course—"
"Where are you going again?"
Before Padofelice could finish her words, a female voice like that of a vengeful ghost came from the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Chuanhu felt a hand grabbing his shoulder tightly.
And looking back——
"I've been looking for you on the boat for days, but I can't find you! You better explain where you've been these days, you golden-haired bastard!"
The body seemed to be emitting black energy.
A pair of beautiful red ponytails dancing like an octopus - Dr. Tesla, the genius and beautiful female scientist from Anti-Entropy, was looking at Xia Chuanhu with a livid face, with visible dissatisfaction and questioning on her face, as well as the anxiety and anger of a menopausal woman.
(Dr. Tesla?)
Xia Chuanhu tilted his head: "You are on the boat too?"
"Chicken Coop Head, Cocolia and I have been here the whole time! You bastard, you really have forgotten everything I told you!"
2. Dusk Sanatorium
After a while, under Tesla's angry and furious explanation, Xia Chuanhu finally remembered what he had accidentally forgotten before.
At the welcome party on the first day on board the Golden Courtyard, he actually made an appointment with Tesla and Einstein to discuss magic with them. But after that, first the Golden Girl incident, then the Vita incident, and then the Meili incident, so that he forgot about such an insignificant matter.
I even forgot that Tesla and the others were on the boat.
