“This is going to be difficult…”
The top three choices had all rejected Xia Jia, and even his secondary candidates had not responded.
He was already feeling mentally exhausted; clearly, the magic power maintaining the “hole” was about to run dry.
Looking at the few people who hadn’t replied due to the time difference in their worlds, Xia Jia struggled internally.
Of course, only a little.
People like Ran Mouri or Kuroko Shirai had their own lives and could not possibly spare large amounts of time to play a game.
Among all of them, the person he had the most hope for was Yuuki.
This genius girl, known as “Zekken” (Absolute Sword) in the future ALO, definitely had plenty of time right now.
It’s just…
“That child hasn’t been online for a month.
Has her health worsened again?” Xia Jia worried.
If it were her, perhaps the Falna could help her.
Just as Xia Jia’s mental energy was reaching its limit, his eyelids drooping and on the verge of fainting, a message arrived on his phone.
[Thunder Hammer Wielder: “Master!
It’s me, your most loyal Servant, Sanae Dekomori, requesting to sortie!”]
Aren’t you the servant of the “Wicked Lord Shingan”?
Have you turned traitor to the revolution?
He complained in his heart, but his fingers didn’t stop.
[Xia Jia: “Ho ho, this is a precious ticket to the boundary of the ‘Invisible World’; only the strong can possess it.”]
[Thunder Hammer Wielder: “Please, Kohai (junior)!
Can you feel it?
The power of our bond!”]
Following the message was a sticker of a bright, shiny forehead and swinging twin-tails.
Wow, does someone actually use themselves as an emoji…
Dekomori was Xia Jia’s senior, one year older, currently in her third year of middle school.
A bona fide senior.
It’s just…
“Is it really okay to give an initial qualification to an idiot like this?” Xia Jia hesitated.
Feeling the space-time gate becoming increasingly unstable, Xia Jia hurriedly typed: “It’s very late; I’ll tell you the details tomorrow after I ask the company.”
[Thunder Hammer Wielder: “GJ!
Please, Xia Jia-daimyojin!”]
She followed up with a sticker of Dekomori sticking her tongue out and giving a thumbs-up.
Honestly, she only shows me respect when she needs something from me.
Xia Jia complained about the last message on his phone, then his fingers relaxed, the phone smacked him in the face, and he passed out.
At night, Xia Jia was dragged up by Cecil.
“You’re either sleeping or on your way to sleep.
Can you really beat me like this?
You might as well just surrender.”
The girl pointed her finger, haughtily accusing Xia Jia of slacking off.
“How could that be?
I’ve been working very hard to recruit members.
How about you?
How are your results?” Xia Jia yawned and asked.
“Hmph.
I’m just doing the preliminary accumulation.” Cecil crossed her arms and boasted: “I’m not like some people; those who want to enter the Familia must pass my test first.”
“I don’t want stinky trash like you to defile Astraea-sama’s family.”
“Yes, yes.”
Xia Jia got up, grabbed his phone, and pushed open the door.
Like Cecil, Xia Jia was an “Astraea-fan,” though they “fanned” her in different ways.
“Right.”
As he reached the door, Xia Jia turned his head and said: “I have a favor to ask you.”
As soon as Cecil heard that, an ahoge (cowlick) on her head stood up, and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily:
“What?
Have you finally decided to surrender and seek the help of the great Sister Cecil?”
You don’t seem that much older than me…
Xia Jia scanned her, showing disdain.
“Hey!”
Feeling his gaze, Cecil covered her chest.
Xia Jia quickly said:
“I just want to buy some materials.
You have some, right?”
He still had 30,000 Valis in his pocket; having been frugal lately, and needing to pay rent to the blue-haired loli, his remaining savings were not much.
“What do you need?”
“Mithril, and iron ore…”
“Mithril isn’t cheap,” Cecil said flatly.
“I only have 30,000 Valis.
Just give me whatever that can buy.”
Hearing this, Cecil turned to the storeroom and handed Xia Jia a piece of Mithril ore about the size of two palms.
“This…”
The size of the Mithril was larger than he had expected.
Xia Jia looked at the blushing girl.
As a companion, I’m just giving you the normal internal price.”
30,000 Valis wouldn’t even buy me a piece of Mithril the size of three fingers.
Tsundere is already an outdated trope, girl!
Knowing that Cecil was acting up again, Xia Jia could only smile helplessly: “Thanks.”
“Ha?
You’re penniless anyway; in the end, you’ll still have to beg me.
If you ask me now, maybe I’ll let you continue to stay in the shop tonight,” Cecil said, patting her “airport” chest enticingly.
“It’s fine, I can sleep with Astraea-sama!”
As soon as these words were out, Cecil immediately widened her eyes.
She had this move too…
“No, absolutely not!
That’s too offensive; take back what you said!
Fine, I’ll let you stay tonight, just, just tonight, that’s all!”
In the eyes of her followers, the Goddess Astraea was flawless.
The last person to say they bathed with Astraea was a certain red-haired Captain.
Having won the bickering match, Xia Jia strolled smilingly toward Astraea’s private room, with an urgent voice coming from behind him.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“To find Astraea…”
“Stop right there!”
“Don’t be nervous; I just have something to ask for.”
“What is it?” Cecil chased after him, asking suspiciously.
“Hmm…
just need some blood.”
“Hiss!!!!” Cecil stopped in her tracks, her face full of shock.
Asking for her first time (blood), asking for her first time, asking for her first time.
Has it already developed to this kind of relationship?
When, no, it’s impossible, it was clearly me who was here first!
By the time Cecil recovered from the massive shock, Xia Jia was nowhere to be seen.
When the girl arrived outside the private room, listening to the sounds coming from inside…
“Don’t be nervous, I’ll be very gentle.”
“Then be a little lighter…”
“It’s fine, it’s just a little bit of blood.”
“Ya, it hurts.”
Following these obscene-sounding exchanges, Cecil’s CPU crashed.
Her mind frantically conjured up unhealthy images.
With steam rising from her head, Cecil pushed open the door to the room and blurted out:
“You can’t do this, this is far too blasphemous!”
Having said that, Cecil saw Xia Jia looking bewildered and the Goddess looking at her gently.
Xia Jia was holding a bottle, and the Goddess was naturally rubbing her hands together, applying a bit of healing potion.
“You have something, too?” Xia Jia put away the blood vial containing divine blood and pulled up his pants: “I’m finished; you go ahead.”
Cecil blinked, looking at Astraea.
The latter was gently patting her large bed.
Meaning: Do you also want to come to bed?
I’m sorry, Goddess, my thoughts are no longer clean.
Cecil collapsed.
Astraea-sama, you mean updating the status, right?
Updating the status, right!
Not the kind of thing I just imagined, right?
A puff of white smoke rose from Cecil’s head, and she fainted straight away.
“What’s wrong with her?” the Goddess asked.
“Probably too excited,” Xia Jia nodded, pulled Cecil onto the bed, and then turned and left.
