Book 4: Chapter 24: Gudako Facing Servants Head-On
Kal’tsit: I have no objections at all, as long as you are happy. Remember, you can livestream, but don’t let it interfere with the mission.
He Who Knows Fate: Don’t worry. A weakling like Talulah cannot penetrate my body even if I tie my hands and legs.
Kal’tsit: ...Oh, right, didn’t you say you wanted to lower the damage to Chernobog? Don’t ever take the catastrophe head-on. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain.
He Who Knows Fate: Do you even need to explain? Just blame it all on the Reunion Movement. You can even cause trouble that way.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: You schemers all have tainted hearts.
He Who Knows Fate: The pot calling the kettle black. However, our hearts are still less tainted than those of you people who engage in psychological warfare.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: He Who Knows Fate, that is too much.
Magus of Flowers: I say, Yakumo Yukari, why are you pretending? Everyone in the group knows who you are. Old Granny Yukari.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Chen Heng, I recall you have ten-odd strands of Merlin’s hair, right? Sell me one; I’ll offer a high price.
Magus of Flowers: There’s such a thing? Why don’t I know?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Why would I care whether you know or now? Just you wait. I will find a Type-Moon-related mission soon.
Magus of Flowers: I might have to disappoint you. I cannot be summoned under most circumstances, as I’m not dead. Chen Heng could summon me because of Skadi’s materials.
Queen of Ice and Snow: Yakumo Yukari, I can sell you the materials for cheap: 1,000 points.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Deal. Chen Heng, send me one hair strand. I’ll transfer 1,000 points to you later.
He Who Knows Fate: Deal!
Magus of Flowers: Ah! This...Miss Yakumo Yukari, you don’t have to go that far, right?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Haha!? Far? Do you think 2,000 points are a lot? This great me can get over 2,000 points with just one mission. After all, I’m strong.
I Have a Strong Presence: How envious! You can get 2,000 points so easily.
Blank Never Loses: This is the world of powerhouses.
Iron Fist Teacher: Actually, if you really want to, 2,000 points are not a lot.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Since Chen Heng planned on saving Sirin, he could meet her again. He could pass the invitation to Sirin then.
Initially, Chen Heng thought he could play the system by spending more time in another world, using the different flows of time. Then he could add Sirin into the association before she left. Who knew? When he asked customer service about it, the customer service said that the time was set based on his world. This was to prevent administrators, who were bug-like existences, like Chen Heng from turning everyone around them into association members. That would place tremendous pressure on the world consciousness.
Damn it! Screw that trashy world consciousness! This great me has yet to settle accounts with it for my luck.
So, it was not overboard to say he made a loss, right? Of course, he could not let Sirin hear that.
System 10086 also indicated that it would not bear the blame. It initially just wanted Chen Heng to take care of Sirin for a while. Who knew he would end up being the Dimension Administrators Association’s administrator?
“Blue Poison, I’ll be on a mission this afternoon and tomorrow. Let’s meet again after some time.” Chen Heng informed Blue Poison of his plans for the next two days after they returned to their block.
“A mission? Take care, then. Remember to protect yourself. Do you need me to support you with some items?”
“Items? What kind of items?”
“Just some poison and antidotes I concocted. If you need them, I’ll bring them to your room later.
“There’s no need. I don’t need those as a Sniper. Furthermore, my firearm is very powerful, able to kill in one shot, so I have little need for poison or antidotes. Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let’s use this time to teach you how to make a Black Forest cake. Blue Poison, I’ll say this first. A Black Forest cake is primarily black. Don’t add in any strange colors.”
“But black does not look nice.”
“Even if it does not look nice, you must make it black.”
“Alright. Got. It!” Although Blue Poison agreed, she did not think that.
------
Chen Heng used two hours before finally changing Blue Poison’s strange sense of aesthetics, rather, changing her mind about Black Forest cakes.
After some time, Chen Heng arrived at the location Kal’tsit told him and immediately saw Amiya giving instructions.
Immediately after that, he saw Shining and Nightingale. Huh? Nightingale?
“Hey! Nightingale, are you here to send Shining off?” Chen Heng greeted Nightingale when he approached.
“No. I’m going too.” Nightingale’s answer surprised Chen Heng.
“Erm...Shining, you agreed?” Chen Heng did not ask Nightingale. Instead, he turned his head and asked Shining. Would Shining agree to such a ridiculous request?
