Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

In order to cover up her embarrassment, Shiiki Ruri responded to the Frost Armor Knight in a rather exaggerated manner.

Then, she actively began to introduce the structure of her small house to Lord Frost Armor Knight, telling him that she could sleep in the living room while Lord Frost Armor Knight slept in the master bedroom to have a good rest.

"You want to sleep in the living room? Don't force yourself. You've been exhausted from the assassination of Zhaoye Liuque's chief hall master, right? Rest well when you need to, and don't try to be stubborn."

Frost Knight Stan flatly rejected Shiiki Ruri's proposal. His calm and almost cold attitude made Shiiki Ruri feel even more embarrassed about her previous misunderstanding.

Under the insistence of Lord Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri finally slept obediently in her own room.

Lying on her familiar bed, Shiiki Ruri did not feel familiar. She tossed and turned in bed when she thought that the Frost Armor Knight was in the living room just across the door.

However, Shiiki Ruri did not face this problem squarely. She attributed the reason for her insomnia to her "clothing".

Normally, Shiiki Ruri would sleep without even wearing any underwear. But tonight, because the Frost Armor Knight was staying overnight, the young cat-girl subconsciously put on pajamas to sleep. This "feeling of restraint" that she was not used to on weekdays made it difficult for her to adapt.

So, do you want to take it off?

Shiiki Ruri thought that since she was covered with a quilt, it would be fine if she took it off quietly, so she bravely took off her clothes.

After returning to a naked state, Shiiki Ruri thought happily, this familiar feeling is finally back~ I can finally sleep~!

However, Shiiki Ruri's "thought" did not become a reality.

After becoming a naked cat-man girl, Shiiki Ruri not only did not feel comfortable, but instead felt her whole body getting hot. An inexplicable feeling of shyness filled her whole body, as if the Frost Armor Knight was standing in front of her and looking at her.

Forced by this feeling of shame, Shiiki Ruri had no choice but to put her clothes back on with tears in her eyes. She didn't know how long it was in the early morning before she fell into a deep sleep exhausted both physically and mentally.

On the other side, in the living room separated by a door, our classmate Jiang Ran was sleeping soundly.

Although he saw what Shiiki Ruri was thinking through mind reading, he was called the number one scumbag in the Prison Star World by the stupid loli, so naturally he would not be upset by such a small scene.

Jiang Ran came to stay at Shiki Ruri's house so suddenly tonight mainly for two reasons.

On the one hand, he was wary of Zhao Ye Liu Que's actions. The fox-man grandmother codenamed Huan Yan had indeed exceeded Jiang Ran's expectations and made him feel a certain threat.

On the other hand, he wanted to get Shiiki Ruri accustomed to working with him 24 hours a day. Since he had already made the decision to take down the organization of Teruya Ryuja through Shiiki Ruri, he had to put all his efforts into taking down this first secret intelligence organization on the rear front.

Starting from tomorrow, Jiang Ran will officially start training Shiiki Ruri. In order not to affect his main plan, he wants Shiiki Ruri to take the position of the new head hall master in the shortest time possible.

10.18 - Selection Rules

[Death Future Remaining: 1 Days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 21 days]

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 67 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

Jiang Ran had previously analyzed that the remaining 67 days of the "Curse of the Ancestral Wolf's Judgment" seemed like a lot, but in fact it was not ample.

Based on the principle of tightening first and loosening later, he should try to compress as much time as possible while he still has the initiative, so as to avoid regrets when he really encounters trouble later.

Last night, a lot of things happened in Shiiki Ruri's house, so that when Jiang Ran and Shiiki Ruri fell asleep, it was already two or three in the morning.

However, because he didn't want to disrupt his biological clock, Jiang Ran got up early today and prepared breakfast while improving his skill proficiency.

Generally speaking, the sight of a teenager like Jiang Ran preparing breakfast in the morning should be pleasing to the eye.

However, because Shiiki Ruri was also in this room, Jiang Ran not only had the image of Frost Knight Stan, but he also had not taken off his armor even when he was sleeping in the living room last night.

Therefore, the morning scene in the kitchen at this moment is actually a tall and burly armored knight making delicate dishes there.

This scene is as bizarre and hilarious as a weightlifter embroidering.

Therefore, when Shiiki Ruri walked out of the room with heavy dark circles under her eyes and saw this scene, she did not have the feeling of an idol drama heroine falling in love. Instead, she felt a little panic, thinking that some weirdo had broken into her kitchen.

·

"Meow hahaha, it turned out to be Master Stan. You really scared me, meow~"

After realizing what was happening, Shiiki Ruri sat in her chair and laughed happily.

Thanks to this funny scene, all the negative emotions that Shiiki Ruri had last night disappeared, and the distance between her and the Frost Armor Knight seemed to be closer.

However, this closeness is not the closeness in the sense of love, but the feeling between relatives.

Shiiki Ruri herself has not yet realized that the position of the Frost Armor Knight in her heart is moving closer to that of Aunt Magee.

"Stop laughing and eat quickly. We'll continue discussing the 'election' afterward."

"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, Master Stan, I'll start right away, meow~"

Shiiki Ruri smiled as she picked up the breakfast prepared by the Frost Armor Knight. It was a peculiar combination of two slices of black bread with vegetable leaves and berries.

It was not known whether it was because of the Frost Armor Knight's excellent cooking skills, or because the atmosphere of eating together increased her appetite, but Shiiki Ruri finally had a breakfast that made her feel happy after a long time.

·

After breakfast, according to the arrangement of Lord Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri was supposed to explain the relevant rules of the "Election for the Chief Master of Teruya Ryujaku".

But before Shiiki Ruri began to explain, Lord Frost Armor Knight suddenly talked to her about the assassination of Tetodaf.

Lord Frost Armor Knight said that too many things happened yesterday, and he couldn't have a detailed conversation with Shiiki Ruri.

Although it is possible that Shiiki Ruri was used by other forces in the assassination of Tetodav, as long as Tetodav did commit a crime, Shiiki Ruri did a good thing regardless of whether she was used or not.

"I believe that your mentor, Ms. Magai, would be proud of you."

"Thank you, Master Stan. I also thought Master Magee would praise my cat. It's a pity that she is no longer with us..."

Thinking of the master who treated her like a daughter, Shiiki Ruri suddenly felt a little sad, but she quickly adjusted her mood because she knew that Master Magai would definitely tell her to look forward.

Afterwards, Shiiki Ruri regained his spirits and officially began to introduce the specific rules of the "Teruya Ryujaku Chief Hall Master Selection".

·

As the top intelligence organization in the rear-line countries, Teruya Ryuque has a complete personnel mechanism.

When the chief hall master has been out of contact for a period of time, if the four branch hall masters reach a consensus, they can elect an interim chief hall master to take over the management of related affairs on behalf of the chief hall master.

If negotiation fails, voting will be adopted until a temporary chief hall master is elected.

The temporary chief will take charge of the organization until the chief returns. If the chief is out of contact for more than one month or is confirmed dead, the selection process for the next chief will be initiated in advance.

When the "Night Hall Master, Grandma Huanyan" came to investigate Shiiki Ruri last night, she told Shiiki Ruri about the "temporary chief hall master".

Since the three branch hall masters except Shiiki Ruri reached an agreement, the "Master of Que Hall, Mr. Guiyu" officially became the temporary head hall master last night.

Generally speaking, in the election process for the new chief hall master, the incumbent chief hall master or the temporary chief hall master will have certain advantages. However, Shiiki Ruri was lucky this time because the original chief hall master, Tetodaf, had died, and old man Guiyu was very old, which prevented her from falling too far behind at the starting line.

"So what is the specific selection process?" asked the Frost Knight.

"Great question, meow! Now comes the key point, meow~!"

Shiiki Ruri raised her voice slightly because she felt good.

The feeling of being in a superior position while teaching the Frost Armor Knight satisfied her vanity a little.

Shiiki Ruri told Lord Frost Armor Knight that the formal selection process is divided into three parts.

First, a vote will be organized within Zhaoye Liuque, and people at different levels will have different numbers of votes. For example, the head of a branch hall can cast five votes, while the lowest-level person only has one vote.

After the voting is over, candidates will receive corresponding scores based on their ranking of votes.

Secondly, the four branch hall masters will each give a test question for all candidates to complete.

The exam questions can take various forms, ranging from purely written tests to complex commissioned tasks.

How well candidates complete the four questions will determine how many points they receive in this section.

Finally, there is the third part. The rules of this part are the simplest, but the difficulty is the most difficult.

The four branch hall masters need to randomly select the "venue", "time", "goal" and "rules" from the organization's "question bank".

Candidates will compete for rankings in the "examination room" made up of these random elements, and then obtain final scores based on their performance.

"After the three-part selection process is complete, the candidate with the highest total score will become the next Head Master."

After saying all this, Shiiki Ruri was finally able to take a break. She raised her cup and drank it all in one gulp, feeling very satisfied.

10.19 - My first experience as a shadow artist

"I see. It is indeed a complete selection mechanism."

As Frost Knight Stan, Jiang Ran nodded slightly.

Because he was wearing armor, the range of his nodding was quite limited, but this steady movement style actually made Frost Knight Stan have a cool and aloof personality.

(The mysterious and distant knight uncle, this identity is really useful.) - Jiang Ran couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Previously, no matter whether it was Banning, Fike or Lyle, Jiang Ran could not get rid of them because they showed their true faces.

The label of "boy next door".

[Note: "Lyle" is the pseudonym used by Jiang Ran in the Werewolf King arc]

But the current Frost Knight Stan is different. As long as Jiang Ran puts on the helmet, he can control the distance in interpersonal communication and no longer has to do "unnecessary" things out of courtesy.

Even if he harvested confession points against his conscience, it would not bring too much burden to Jiang Ran.

Such a change really proves the insightful saying: Some people seem to be wearing masks, but in fact they are taking off masks.

Jiang Ran feels comfortable now that he can get along with Shiiki Ruri in this kind of partnership. The last thing that "work colleagues" need is ambiguous feelings.

However, just because there is no such thing now doesn't mean there will be no such thing in the future. Even though Jiang Ran has the ability to read minds, he cannot foresee that his future self will suffer a tragic Waterloo.

·

According to the "Selection Rules for the Chief Master of Teruya Ryukaku" provided by Shiiki Ruri, Jiang Ran conducted a preliminary analysis of Shiiki Ruri as a candidate.

To facilitate discussion, Jiang Ran referred to the three parts of the selection process as the "voting phase", the "exam phase" and the "competition phase".

Jiang Ran said that the "voting phase" is a test of the candidate's popularity within the organization. If you want to win a large number of votes in a short period of time, you must use extreme means such as coercion and inducement to achieve results.

The "Exam" section tests comprehensive abilities. In this respect, Shiiki Ruri lacks experience, but has the potential that comes with youth.

The final stage is the "competition phase", which should be the final showdown of the candidates' awakening. In this final competition, in addition to all-round abilities, the competition is about who wants to become the head master the most.

Since the scores of the three stages are the same, Shiiki Ruri will not suffer any particular disadvantage overall.

But when it comes to the possibility of winning, she has nothing to do with the word "optimism" for the time being.

"Boss Liuli, the biggest competitor this time... should be the 'Master of Quetang, Guiyu' that you just mentioned, right?" Jiang Ran asked Shiiki Liuli after completing the preliminary analysis.

"Yes, meow. He became the 'temporary chief hall master' last night. I'm afraid he'll gain some advantages from now on... Oh, and I've heard many times before, meow. Old Master Guiyu has always wanted to fight for the position of chief hall master."

"Then, how strong is this old gentleman?" Jiang Ran asked again.

Shiiki Ruri scratched her furry cat ears. This question touched upon her blind spot in knowledge.

"Um... I haven't actually fought against Mr. Whisper or seen him in combat, meow. According to rumors, he's very skilled at using tactics in battle, and his tactics are flexible and varied. Even enemies of the same level can often be completely defeated by him without taking any damage, meow."

With limited information, Shiiki Ruri gave a simple answer.

Would he need to face off against Mr. Guiyu during the selection process? If possible, Shiki Liuli really hoped that this possibility would not happen.

"Okay, I roughly understand the situation."

Jiang Ran listened to Shiiki Ruri's answer and observed her mental activities, and had already made a preliminary judgment on the winning rate of the "candidate" he had "bet on".

Next, Jiang Ran still has a lot to do if he wants Shiiki Ruri to achieve a 100% winning rate.

·

This time, Jiang Ran intends to use more than just the skill of "Shadow Master" to help Shiiki Ruri.

However, due to concerns about Shiiki Ruri's powerful intelligence capabilities, Jiang Ran did not want her to know too much, lest she dig up all his secrets.

According to a rough estimate, assuming that all inherent abilities and blessings are excluded, and the skill "Shadow Master" is included, Jiang Ran currently has at least four skills that can help Shiiki Ruri without showing up.

[Note: Readers who listen to the book, please note that there is a very long picture here to introduce Jiang Ran’s current skills]

[img=221,2057]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2024/04/53ba92db-a541-40fb-b422-f422ee28e90f.jpg[/img]

And if we talk about things other than fighting, Jiang Ran can do even more.

In the next few days, Jiang Ran must first let Shiiki Ruri adapt to using his "Shadow Artist" skill on her, and then make "Tetodaf" "die" again appropriately based on the preparations for the election.
