Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"I didn't say that. That was James' idea. I didn't express my opinion," Crowe responded. "Let those young people decide for themselves."

“I want to retire...”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Except for people like Kro who don't like this kind of occasion, the tree hunters who received the invitation are preparing for the celebratory banquet.

If nothing else, they must have a suitable set of clothes on board, right?

But the problem now is not that they can't find suitable clothes, but that they don't know what clothes to choose - Zhang Yi has prepared a roomful of various clothes in advance for the hunters who want to attend the banquet to choose from.

Even though Weiss was once a young lady, she had never seen a closet where one could get lost if not careful, nor had she seen such a wide variety of party clothes.

Zhang Yi naturally didn't know all this. Instead of expecting him to understand the hundreds of different costumes in the empire, you might as well hope that he could help his own captain deal with some documents or something.

As for O'Neal... let's not bring out his Asia Minor open-crotch tights (Macadot specifically complained about this)...

"It suddenly occurred to me, did you also attend such banquets during the Great Expedition?" Zhang Yi and O'Neill stood in an inconspicuous corner and communicated.

"Although during the Great Crusade, we were in a rush to act and rarely attended banquets and gatherings," O'Neill said, "but on rare occasions, I would not refuse a friendly negotiation to gain control of a precious planet."

"It's hard for me to imagine you, as a 'golden psychic giant', attending a gathering of mortals..."

"I should know that I can use my psychic powers to influence how different people see me, right?"

"Hmm...little Loli with white silk and animal ears?"

Bang－－!

The people around looked in the direction of the sound, but didn't see anything.

"MD...you are using psychic power to cheat..." Zhang Yi, who was knocked to the ground by a slap, raised his stubborn middle finger.

"If you really want to see something pleasing to the eyes, look there."

"what?"

Zhang Yi, who was somewhat slow to react, looked in the direction O'Neill pointed. Ruby and others, who had already changed their clothes, had just walked here.

Yang, who was wearing a cheongsam that was open to her shoulders, Weiss, who was wearing a backless long skirt, Ruby, who was wearing a shoulder-baring skirt, and Black, who was wearing a black and white Tang skirt, the four of them appeared in Zhang Yi's field of vision like blooming flowers, but...

"Well... Xiaoqiang isn't wearing a skirt?"

Upon hearing this, O'Neill picked up Zhang Yi and said in his ear, "Focus your attention on those girls! Two of the three you found are not human!"

"You've looked for it before (seeing the sudden psychic slap)... I'll shut up..."

"You've been in contact with them for several years now. Those you said were not old enough before are now old enough, but you still haven't won them over!"

"Did you know that this planet had three planetary governors when we first arrived on this planet, but now there are double digits?!"

"Can his waist withstand it..."

"The one with cat ears is yours as a gift. Now, immediately, get the girl you like!"

"Um...would you like to tell me about your romantic history from a long time ago..."

Bang－－!

. . . . . .

"Where should we go first? Where should we go first?" Nora, who was wearing a short skirt, looked around excitedly. "I saw a very long buffet table over there, how about we go there first?"

"I don't think running around is a good idea." Lian, who was holding Nora's hand, said, "Let's find someone we know first?"

"Good idea, who should we go to then?"

"Go find Uncle Zhang Yi! He's also at the party."

"Uncle Zhang Yi is a VIP, right? Can we really find him?" Yang, who was wearing a cheongsam, thought for a moment and said, "Even if we find him, can we get close to him?"

"It's difficult." Black moved his ears.

"What you said makes me afraid to show my face..."

"?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that Zhang Yi had stood beside them without them knowing when.

"Zhang Yida..."

"Shhhhh, keep your voice down. I don't want to be surrounded by a group of people." Zhang Yi said in a hissing voice. "You should know the current situation of the human empire. My appearance will definitely cause a sensation..."

"I have to bear the problems caused by the old man... Enough is enough..."

"So can we go to that 'long, long buffet table' now?"

"Nora..."

"If you want to eat, I have a better place."

． ． ． A few dozen minutes later...

It was luxurious, even a little extravagant, with a champagne tower several meters high, a buffet table that seemed to have no end, and unknown artworks, trophies, and sculptures.

All of this is showing the strength of the human empire, even though this outsider has just gained a foothold in this world, even though everything has just begun.

Nora pounced directly on a roasted Glo beast that was bigger than him. This species, which has a variety of diets and is the main meat provider of the empire, is usually larger than a cow. Their tempers are much more irritable than cows. The differences in genetic adjustments and environments also cause this creature to taste in many different flavors.

"Are you sure this... isn't a waste?" Pyrrha, who was wearing a Greek-style long dress, pointed at the huge champagne tower that was so huge that you couldn't even see the top when you raised your head and asked.

"It's absolutely a waste, but that's the effect we want." Zhang Yi shrugged. "The empire has never fallen, the empire is still here, and the empire will always be here."

At this point, everyone around them looked towards Weiss in the ice-blue dress, as if they wanted this 'similar' lady in the team to speak.

"Why are you looking at me?! We don't have this kind of situation!" Weiss shouted. "No matter how rich my family is, we only own a continent, but they own at least an entire planet!"

Weiss felt a little aggrieved, because whenever something like this happened, whether it was Qiang or Ruby and the others, they would look at her like a conditioned reflex.

It would be fine if the situation was really similar, Weiss would also be willing to use her experience to help the team solve problems, but there are some situations that she really doesn't know!

"It's really different. Uncle Zhang Yi has shoes that are both nice-looking and convenient to walk in." Ruby said. "Finally, they're not the kind of shoes that sprain your ankle when you walk!"

"Ruby~ keep your voice down."

Yang was trying to calm her excited little sister, while Black was attracted by a giant fish on the dining table. The members of the JNPR team stood beside Nora at this time, asking her not to attract too much attention.

Weiss stood there for a long time before she took a drink from a servant beside her. She looked at the nobles who were talking in low or loud voices, and felt as if she had returned to the past.

When his father was still alive...

【help me! 】

"Come back to your senses Weiss." Zhang Yi walked in front of her and shook her, saying, "The execution by the Grey Knights had a great impact on you."

"...I'm fine." Weiss said. "I'm no longer affected by what I saw..."

"But there is still, isn't there?"

As he spoke, Zhang Yi held her slightly trembling hand. Even though so much time had passed, the scene at that time was still a frequent nightmare for Weiss.

"..."

Feeling the warmth of Zhang Yi's palm, Weiss's hands stopped shaking. Although his father's use of her and her mother when he was alive, his persecution of the Funa people, and his betrayal of the Shubusi world basically confirmed his identity as a villain, if he hadn't run away directly, Weiss would have thought about arresting him and making him pay for his mistakes, but...

But Weiss never thought of letting him die like that, without even a body left, and being accused of betraying humanity...

"How is Shubuzi doing lately?"

"...The Necrons have made life better for everyone. Many things can be handled fairly and justly, and ordinary people don't have to worry about the threat of the Slayers..."

"General James organized the leaders of the four kingdoms and asked the Necrons to establish a parliament to better handle various issues..."

"I guess they agreed."

"Yes, but nothing seems to have changed."

"Shalek didn't consider you as a threat at all~"

"Yeah, we're so far behind..." Weiss said. "Luckily I have you guys."

"We didn't do anything, and Salek and the others didn't intend to do anything to you."

The high-level Necromancers in the world of Shubuzi never regarded the humans of Shubuzi as a threat from the beginning to the end, and they also had a new goal for the research of [Energy], but this goal is estimated to be quite far away.

After all, the two people they targeted showed no signs of wanting to come back at this stage...

"So, how are you guys doing?" Zhang Yi asked again. "Are you used to carrying out missions in this world?"

"You're asking a little late, Uncle Zhang Yi." Weiss let go of Zhang Yi's hand and said with her hands on her waist. "You haven't come to see us recently."

"I'm busy too. I have a lot of things to do recently... MD, old bacon..."

"We didn't encounter any problems. There aren't many people like the ones we encountered before in this area, and our mission is relatively easy..." Weiss said. "We just visit different settlements on the planet, communicate with them, and then introduce your human empire to them. Sometimes we also need to help them solve a few problems, hunt some dangerous local animals, etc."

"Uncle Kro sometimes travels with me, and we sometimes see some strange creatures or creations. At these times, Ruby always rashly goes over and tries to contact them."

"She really hasn't changed much as a captain."

"But there weren't any accidents, and Ruby could always tell what something was when we encountered it." Weiss continued. "This kind of life is not much different from the hunter life before."

"I hope you can get used to it."

"Your worries are long overdue, uncle." Weiss responded. "So what about you?"

"I?"

"How are you?" Weiss said, looking at Zhang Yi in front of her. "You should know it, right?"

"Well...can I pretend I don't know?"

"You don't look like a man with three wives, uncle."

"To be honest, my three wives are all masters... No, why am I telling you this?"

"So, do you want us to take the initiative as well?"

Although Weiss said this as calmly as possible, she still couldn't avoid blushing a little.

"...I think you're in a bit of danger..." Zhang Yi said with his eyes wandering around.

"...Pfft!" After hearing Zhang Yi's answer, Weiss couldn't help but burst out laughing, shaking with laughter. "You're still like this, uncle..."

"Is this the time to say something like that?"

"I know it's wrong, but... I always feel that if I say this, people will think that my motives for going to Shubuzi are not pure."

"Is not it?"

Yang came over at this time and joined the conversation.

"Your purpose doesn't seem to be pure no matter how you put it, uncle?"

"Or are you actually interested in Qiang and Lian? I remember seeing a few imperial guards without clothes."

Following Yang's words, Zhang Yi shuddered on the spot.

"Please don't remind me of the fear of being dominated by them..."

"General James asked us to have more contact with you, and... Mom agreed too."

"Wait a minute..."

"I don't mind it either. Ruby likes you too..."

"Sister, what are you talking about!" Ruby yelled. "Then I'll 'report' too! Weiss sometimes secretly makes ice sculptures of uncles and becomes obsessed with them."

"Didn't you agree not to tell anyone else?! And what do you mean by being a fangirl?"

"...I'm actually starting to get used to it..."

"Uncle, you don't know yourself very well. Just your identity and status alone can make a lot of girls throw themselves at you."

"It's not that I don't understand it, I'm just not used to it, and I don't use it very often... Who told me to run around all day..."

The Primarchs are definitely the most honorable beings in the Empire, but in the current Human Empire, there is no chance for these powerful demigods to become VIPs on a planet in a peaceful and leisurely state. They are all too busy, okay? Besides, it is not appropriate to talk about some problem children...

"By the way, Black has no objection either, and neither does her family."

"Thanks to you, the life of the Funa people has improved a lot. My mother seems to want me to find a boyfriend and bring him back. My father is... a little stressed?"

"My father is the same." Yang said, and then walked directly to Zhang Yi and hugged his right hand. "We are also at the age to find a boyfriend. Instead of looking for one outside, it is better to choose you who knows us well. Besides, everyone in our team has a good impression of you."

At this point, the four of them looked at Zhang Yi at the same time. Through his peripheral vision, Zhang Yi could also see Qiang and others secretly coming to the side, seemingly waiting for the result.

"..." Zhang Yi silently slapped his left hand, where the Slaanesh mark that flashed like a police light appeared. Then he saw the shadow of the Emperor appear behind Ruby and the others.
