Speedrun Collapse!

If I reject the invitation that she has finally mustered up the courage to make, it will leave a thorn in her heart.

Although my current actions will not completely prevent her from becoming a Herrscher in the future, being nice to the girl can at least prevent her from becoming more radical.

Everything I do now is to prevent myself from encountering more dangers in the future.

[Haha, that's true, but you know it very well in your heart...]

[Others never know your true thoughts, they only judge you based on your actions outside. ]

[So now, you can be sure that the girl named Anna Shaniyate has developed a crush on you.]

Let it happen. If this can be an opportunity for her to suppress her Herrscher personality...

It’s okay for me to continue to be a liar and an actor.

At this time, Anna, who was held by Lin Yu on the right hand, felt that she was indeed a lot more at ease than before.

Anna, who was forced to approach Lin Yu for some reasons, only discovered at this moment that the young man in front of her was surprisingly easy to talk to.

"Okay, now..."

After reaching the destination, Lin Yu did not let go of her hand. Instead, he pulled up the other person's right hand and gently placed his right hand on Anna's smooth back.

"Please dance with me, Miss Anna."

"I understand, Mr. Lin Yu."

It was obviously the first time for Anna to come into contact with a member of the opposite sex of the same age other than her brothers in the clan, but Anna, who should have been shy, felt more relaxed than ever in front of Lin Yu.

Perhaps it was because of the sense of security that Lin Yu brought her that made her display a completely different attitude than usual.

During the dance, Lin Yu took the initiative to activate Mingjing Zhishui and began to observe the dance steps of other people around him.

Relying on his ability to be as calm as a mirror and as still as water, Lin Yu, who was originally just a layman, was able to dance like a veteran dancer by observing the actions of other people around him.

Anna, who was in front of Lin Yu, also followed Lin Yu's dance steps and began to look at Lin Yu.

Obviously, the other person's eyes were like still water, giving Anna a sense of tranquility.

But just by looking at each other, Anna felt that her heartbeat was accelerating.

If she hadn't tried hard to control her emotions, she would have even felt that she would have run away from the other person with a red face because of excessive shyness.

When the dance ended, Anna was even distracted and tried to continue dancing with Lin Yu.

"Hey, I..."

It was not until she saw the men and women around her had separated from them that she realized that she...

——I actually felt a little reluctant when the dance ended.

Looking at the girl in front of him who suddenly started to panic again for some reason, Lin Yu did not let go of Anna's hand at this time, but held Anna's hand very forcefully and chose to walk towards the corridor where few people stopped.

"Hey, Mr. Lin Yu, you..."

"Well, Miss Anna, I know you came to me for more than just dancing."

Lin Yu walked to the corridor with Anna in his hand. After exhaling a breath of foul air, he leaned casually on the railing and looked at the ceiling above his head.

"I can see that you were probably instructed or even forced to come here by someone."

"Tell me, who forced you to do such a boring thing?"

.................................................. ...

Chapter 125. Get your position clear, cool guy

"Tell me, who forced you to do such a boring thing?"

After hearing what Lin Yu said, the first thing that came to Anna's mind was endless helplessness.

She didn't want to say anything more, but now that she was relaxed, Anna didn't have much vigilance and almost disappeared in front of Lin Yu.

The girl had completely let down her guard and made a decision after hesitating for just one second.

"I'm telling you this in secret, don't tell anyone else."

[Looking at the girl's completely relaxed demeanor at this moment, you are certain that her trust in you has surpassed that of most people in the world.]

[You have only met for five minutes, and you have never had any interaction before. If your favorability is so high in just five minutes, then I'm sure if you show off your skills a little bit, she will -]

You're a ghost.

[Okay, this system will be quiet. After all, now - you will be very busy. ]

After the system said this, Lin Yu looked helplessly at Anna who was waiting for his response.

"Okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone else what you said today."

"Well, I said it then."

"The elders of the tribe suddenly told me yesterday that they had helped me get a place at today's banquet and asked me to attend it."

"I didn't understand what they wanted to do at first, so I wanted to use my young age and lack of strength to refuse this action, but... "

At this point, Anna's face suddenly turned extremely red.

"The elder said that our Shaniyat clan is in a bit of an awkward situation now because of the death of Lady Cecilia and the rebellion of Lord Siegfried."

"Although Bishop Otto also has the blood of the Shaniat family, that was five hundred years ago after all. Because of Lord Siegfried, the status of our family and the Kaslana family is now declining."

"Although Lady Theresa and Bishop Otto certainly have no intention of suppressing us, our reputation alone is enough to give them a headache, so..."

"They want me to come as a representative of the Shaniyat clan and establish a good relationship with you, the rising genius of the Apokalis clan."

After listening to Anna's words, Lin Yu fell silent.

He had vaguely guessed that Anna was pushed out, but...

This reason cannot be said to be unreasonable.

But why do I feel it's so ridiculous?

And, there is another problem.

"Miss Anna, let me ask you something. You look very young. When were you born?"

"Me? 1999, what's wrong?"

At this time, Anna had no idea what Lin Yu was thinking, and suddenly said a little unconvinced.

"Although I am indeed young, don't all of us Valkyries of Destiny participate in training at this age?"

"Although my strength is far inferior to yours, Mr. Lin Yu, I am at the same level as you, B-level."

No, what I want to say is...

I didn't notice you because you didn't have any role in the original novel, but it turns out you are one year older than Banya.

Bronya went out pretending to be a little "princess", which was not glorious, but it was still pretending.

A little girl born in 1999 was sent out to do something like this?

These people are such beasts.

Looking at Lin Yu who was silent at this time, Anna suddenly felt that she seemed to have gone a little too far.

"I'm sorry! I got too carried away!"

"No, it's not your fault. Anyway...just keep talking."

"I didn't understand what the elder meant at first, but when the elder found out that I didn't understand, he began to speak to me earnestly."

"He said that in recent years, our Shaniyat clan has been living a much worse life than before. Because of the death of Lady Cecilia in the battle, there are no strong warriors in the clan who can stand up, so the right to speak in all aspects has become much weaker."

"Because of this reason, not only did we fail to keep the right to use the Black Abyss White Flower, but even the distribution ratio of the Holy Mark and Honkai Energy weapons decreased significantly."

"He also said that if you, a rising genius of the Apokalis clan, could get closer to the Shaniyat clan, perhaps this situation could be changed."

"By then, the tribe will be allocated more equipment. When the tribe members have better equipment, the survival rate will be higher."

At this point, Anna's eyes suddenly evaded, and she stammered and became speechless.

After just a few seconds, she seemed to have made up her mind and spoke softly in an inaudible voice.

"After saying these words, the elder told me directly to be bold and...seduce you."

Case solved.

They are more brutal than I thought.

Lin Yu really wanted to say to the girl in front of him, "Have some opinions of your own."

But unlike several other girls, Anna Shaniyat grew up in a clan of saints.

She had indeed used various resources within the clan when she was young, but at this point, how could she expect a little girl who didn't understand the dangers of society to directly reject the requests of the clan elders...

Well, saying it is a bit of a compliment to the other party is a bit of a compliment, and it is clearly moral kidnapping.

The Shanyiat clan was described as miserable, and Anna's actions were linked to the "survival rate of the clan's warriors." Even if Anna was extremely unwilling, she was too kind-hearted to do anything that went against the wishes of the clan elders after being morally blackmailed.

Seeing Lin Yu silent with an indifferent tone, Anna suddenly asked a little disappointedly.

"I'm sorry, but I did come here with this purpose. Mr. Lin Yu...are you disappointed in me?"

"Don't overthink it, Anna."

Feeling the breeze blowing by him, Lin Yu looked at the members of the Destiny Group in the banquet hall and suddenly sighed.

"Before you have absolute power, people are helpless."

"You were held hostage by those people in your tribe. To put it bluntly, it's just because you are too kind and have no social experience. It's not your fault."

"this......"

Looking at Lin Yu's face at this moment, Anna suddenly burst out laughing.

"I always feel that Mr. Lin Yu is different from what is rumored."

"Ha... Although I know that my image in the outside world has been distorted, I am still curious about what the impression of me is inside Shaniyat."

"Hmm... you can fight, you want to climb up, and you do have the ability, and you also want revenge on Honkai?"

After a little thought, Anna continued to speak to Lin Yu.

"Before I met you, I felt that you were not the kind of person who was approachable and easy to talk to because of these impressions. That's why when I approached you... I was a little scared."

"After chatting for a while, I found out that everyone has a big misunderstanding about Mr. Lin Yu. Aren't you easy to get along with?"

After Anna said this, Lin Yu suddenly saw a character introduction template pop up in front of him.

[Name: Anna Shaniat]

[Identity: A girl from the Shaniyat clan, a B-rank Valkyrie of destiny.]

[Current Favorability: 25]

[Note: You have only met for a few minutes, and you understand what this means. ]

Yeah, the favorability level increased so quickly after just a few minutes of meeting?

Is there something wrong with your detection system, or...

【What do you think? 】

As expected, the person with the problem was Anna.

This favorability level has increased too much.

I saved Theresa once, and I remember she was only 20.

[First of all, 20 is already high for someone you just met. ]

[Secondly, even if Theresa is called "stupid" every day, she is much smarter than Anna, a little girl who is not very worldly-wise.]

[Finally, people treat you as a junior, while Anna treats you as an equal.]

[Thinking that you were difficult to get along with, you actually showed such strong kindness to her...]

Well, I just said a few nice words after listening to her.

[Also, at the banquet venue, I took the initiative to hold her hand to help her relieve embarrassment and get out of trouble. ]

This also counts.
