"What should I do..."
Feeling uncertain, Qiong didn't pay attention to what the teacher on stage was saying; her mind was full of solutions.
When Qiong mentioned that Thunder Dragon Horse had arrived, Siegfried patted his chest and said, "I know Brother Dragon Horse well. He's been a close friend of over ten years. I can put in a good word for him!"
Although Sora really wanted to say that Welt was already negotiating, she thought about it and ultimately didn't say anything, only saying "thank you".
Qiong glanced silently at Raiden Mei, who was also absent-minded. She was probably more eager to see her father.
Oh right, maybe we should ask Mei and Ryoma what they like later.
----------
"Ryoma, please sit wherever you like."
In the teachers' office, Walter casually made himself and Ryoma a cup of tea, then took out a document. This document was crucial, relating to the upcoming cooperation between the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy.
He brought Ryoma not just so that father and daughter could meet, but also so that Ryoma, who was good at negotiating, could finalize some details with Theresa—Einstein insisted on this, otherwise he could have handled the negotiation himself.
"Leader, there's something I need to tell you..."
Walter looked up at the Thunder Dragon Horse standing in front of his workstation, a copy of a document tucked between its elbows—his old friend, who looked worried, seemed to have something to say.
"Just call me Lao Yang or Teacher Yang here."
"Old Yang? Who dares to shout like that?" Thunder Dragon Horse immediately chose the latter.
"Teacher Yang, I think those two children might not be suitable..."
"Huh? Why?"
Raiden Ryoma reached into his inner pocket, trying to pull something out. Generally, such a place contains either a handgun or personal belongings.
"They are not suitable."
From his inner pocket, Ryoma pulled out a crumpled photograph: it was a picture taken when Mei was ten years old, a rare occasion when they had some free time to go out and play together.
"Excuse my bluntness, but that kid named Sora is too...exuberant! I'm not saying he's bad, it's just that Mei needs a partner who can settle down and live a peaceful life, not a Valkyrie who's active on the battlefield! If Mei could leave right now, I'd want to expel her from school—she's my only daughter!"
There was something Ryoma didn't mention: before coming, he had inquired a little about the boy's reputation and saw several posts on St. Freya's forum about Sora and other girls... One or two might be rumors, but you believe so many and nothing happens to you?
He doesn't believe it anyway.
Walter silently took a sip of tea. It seemed that Sora hadn't made a good first impression on Ryoma.
"Ryoma, I said I could vouch for him with my integrity, he's a good kid. I think my integrity still carries some weight, right?"
"That's right, but he and Mei are not a good match."
This is troublesome," Walter stroked his chin.
How can I persuade Raiden Ryoma without using the authority of the leader? From Raiden Ryoma's perspective, the Valkyrie's identity as a protector of the world is actually a disadvantage (it does indeed make her a widow in disguise), so it seems the only way is…
"Ryoma, Sora saved Mei's life."
"I will thank him properly, but does saving a life necessarily mean repaying him with my body?"
Walter sighed helplessly. It seemed he had no choice but to resort to moral blackmail, otherwise Ryoma might run over and say, "I don't approve of your relationship..."
But then I thought, wouldn't it be better for Mitsuki if they broke up? Oh well, I'll try to persuade Ryoma first.
"Ryoma, do you know? As far as I know, it's Mei who's pursuing Sora."
Raiden Ryoma: ?
The door creaked as it turned, but neither of them paid it any mind; it wasn't anything confidential or important anyway.
"Sora said that he had already politely rejected Mei once, but Mei kissed him in the end, and that's why he agreed..."
Raiden Ryoma frowned slightly. It wasn't that he was wavering, but rather that while what Welt said was absolutely credible, wasn't the Mei that Welt mentioned a little too different from his precious daughter?
The Mei he remembered wasn't so...open.
"Your daughter chose to date Qiong on her own initiative without any inducement from anyone. Qiong has never had any intention of seeking repayment for your kindness."
Raiden Ryoma looked down at the photo in his hand and pondered for two seconds.
"Meng—Teacher Yang, I will look into what you said, but I still..."
"Ryoma, your daughter took the initiative. Are you suggesting that you use your parental authority to interfere with her free choice in dating? I don't think we're old enough to be bound by the old rules of parental authority, are we?"
"How could that be! I completely respect my daughter's wishes!"
"Think about it. Mei lost her mother at a young age. When her father was falsely accused and imprisoned, it was Sora and her friends who helped her when she was in danger. Now that she has her own ideas and is putting them into action, your first decision after regaining your freedom is to break up a couple to destroy your father-daughter relationship that desperately needs to be repaired?"
"Forehead……"
"Should we arrange another blind date for Mei, making her marry a complete stranger? Or is it because someone might be after the Raiden family's wealth, and we want to keep Mei single forever?"
"Okay, I understand!"
Ryoma was getting a little anxious, but following Welt's idea, it seemed to be true? If he drove away Sora, what if Mei developed feelings for other boys next time? Would he have to drive them away one by one?
Doing this could easily turn Mei into a rebellious girl.
"Alliance Leader."
Walter noticed that Raiden Ryoma had switched to a more formal title.
"So you mean you support them talking?"
"No, their breakup isn't necessarily a bad thing..."
Raiden Ryoma: ?
"Ahem, don't mind it... I just wanted to say, let's give the children a chance, so that when they have the opportunity to make a choice, they won't regret it—by the way, that's something Qiong would say too. Siegfried, when did you arrive?"
Thunder Dragon Horse looked towards the doorway, where Siegfried was standing openly "eavesdropping."
------------
"There was once a star core here."
"Several fierce battles also took place."
March 7 and the others explored the rooftop of the Chiyu Academy's teaching building, but apart from discovering almost invisible star core fluctuations, withered vines, and charred marks, they found nothing there.
"How about I, with my exceptional intelligence, deduce the truth of the matter?"
March 7th scratched his head, trying to piece together the truth and explain it to the two of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Strange, did the star core just disappear on its own?"
Walter crossed his arms and held his cane, deep in thought.
……
"Why is it Mr. Walter and not Sora?"
"That's right!"
……
Walter and Qiong were examining the traces of the star core, investigating the site.
Suddenly, the two, who were collecting clues, were surrounded by a group of abundant monsters.
"Hehehehe! There's actually such a handsome young man in this world! Where did he come from? Fine, fine, you have a path to heaven but you choose to barge into hell, so don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Hmph... Witness the sight of stars shattering!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Those bountiful monsters were affected by the star core; they were all vine-like, tentacle-like creatures, some even possessing the ability to burn fire, but in the end, they were defeated by Uncle Yang and Qiong working together..."
"March……"
"Perhaps the Star Core was taken away by the leader of the Abundant Evil Creatures, and Uncle Yang and Qiong left here in order to track down the villains and seize the sealed Star Core."
"March!"
"What's wrong, Danheng? Isn't my guess reasonable?"
Danheng: ...
“Miss March, there are no signs of abundance here, and this planet is isolated from the world. Apart from the ‘Exploration,’ there shouldn’t be any other forces with a destiny in this world. Furthermore, Mr. Danheng seems to be saying—”
On Sunday, he tried to correct March 7's skewed thinking about the Immortal Boat Alliance, and then pointed to a pink hue in the distance.
"There seems to be someone over there, possibly a child."
"What? There are other people here besides us? Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!"
