"It looks like we can harvest some very high-quality vows - I just don't know if Sora can get them to agree to share."
Sharing the psychological struggle a man needs to go through cannot be overcome by sisterhood. Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, possessiveness is a very unreasonable desire. For a special case like Kong, girls have to join the battlefield and take the risk of "in the end it's just something they once had". No matter how you look at it, it's a losing business.
But there was nothing they could do, they just liked this, plus Kong had transformed from a shota into a young man, and his appeal was even stronger than before. His muscular body and handsome face could satisfy their deep desire for the combination of "cuteness" and strength.
Good things always have to be fought for... Seeing that the female companions around Kong have changed one after another over the past few days, they have come to understand more and more that if they want to possess them, they must be on this battlefield and plunder every piece of golden-haired skin under the sun.
"You will continue to instruct the new guards this afternoon, right? Why don't we team up, you teach shooting and I teach close combat - I see that you are a pretty good shooter, much better than those experienced hunters."
Xier invited Kong again.
"Ahem... I think Sora should work with Miss Sylva to train the Iron Guards in robot operation - everyone has some shooting skills, so there's no need to waste Sora's time. Training that requires higher skills is worth his investment."
Shiluwa was just an excuse - she was still running her small shop near the Goethe Hotel. At most, she could ask Lingke to send some spare parts and nearly scrapped prototypes over, and her age was no longer an advantage.
His mind is full of thoughts of driving away his love rival, and he has become extremely smart and has calculated who is more threatening. Someone like Xier, who is young, energetic and willing to make trouble, is definitely more threatening than Natasha and Shiluwa.
"……cut……"
"Tsk."
After another round of confrontation, the two girls looked at Kong's miserable face.
The real owner had no intention of accepting either invitation - it was not that he lacked decisiveness, but that he simply did not dare to make a decision.
Many people have misunderstandings about space... You have been with so many girlfriends, so you must be able to arrange the time you spend with each lover in an orderly and sequential manner, right?
It's so funny. He's not organized at all and often fails. Most of the time, Kong would be in a dilemma of not being able to repay the debts of love he had created. He had to frequently allow the Shura Field to be played out because he didn't dare to favor any girl who had joined his team, so naturally he couldn't control the direction of the battlefield.
When the girls seize the future, he will change from a top predator to a prey, and will make concessions in many aspects... After Seele and Bronya learned about his hidden temperament from Ying, they both wanted to join this queue that would be treated specially, and then use their own abilities to snatch away his time.
However, the two of them were not even prepared for the chance to get in, and Kong did not seem as eager to help them as he had imagined, so they could not find any opportunity to put into practice the tactics Ying had suggested.
Plus, besties are holding each other back...
“…Let’s go together.”
"Well, let's go together."
Maybe it was because of the bond that transcended the will of the world, or maybe it was because the white and black waves that were created when Asuna and Karin were playing accidentally hurt their eyes, making them realize that there were many enemies, and if the two of them continued to fight among themselves, they wouldn't even be able to get the admission ticket -
They had no choice but to compromise, and the hostility between their brows disappeared.
"It just so happens that I am planning to allocate some robots to Dihuo. Swarovski will also officially cooperate with Dihuo, right? Let's give it a try, Xier. It never hurts to learn more technology."
"Well, I think your bayonet fighting skills can be improved. I'll teach you a technique that makes use of your body movements instead of mechanical stabbing. Let's consider it an exchange."
So, in front of Kong, the two girls who had just been at loggerheads with each other actually chose to form an alliance!
"...What's going on with them?" Black Tower, who was adjusting the code, felt confused when he saw the two girls retract their heads and accept each other's share.
She found that the level of abstraction in how people interacted with each other was sometimes as great as her research.
"Cooperation is always better than disorderly competition, that's probably it."
Eula has little interest in this kind of drama that happens every day:
"But you can tell they have a really good relationship. It took me a long time to reconcile with Amber... ahem..."
It seemed like she had heard some incredible secret, but Heita had no interest in the gossip about Sora's past. She just wanted to know if the doll she had transferred with Sora could be useful.
"Instead of training new soldiers here, I might as well let my puppet go and take over the palace..."
"I strongly advise against being so reckless. After all, this world is protected by the guardians. As the emissaries of wisdom, we must have a more sufficient reason to directly attack the Great Guardian. We have to wait for the star core to reveal its true colors."
Kurota was as impatient as ever, and Kong, having escaped from the freezing cold wind of the Shura Field, explained his specific plan to Kurota.
"Form an opposition army composed of upper and lower levels to criticize Cocolia, causing her emotions to fluctuate again and weaken the control of the star core. Then I can blast the star core out of her brain."
Sora's hand was about to reach for the pickled fish slices, but recalling the soft touch of Bronya's fingertips on his lips just now, he could only bite the bullet and pick up the bread and take two bites.
"Teacher, your emotions are still easily written on your face. You can't stand the teasing--"
"I think it's just that the teasing of my senior was too much."
"You dare to lick a student's legs in public, but you can't stand this kind of teasing? Why?"
"Maybe it's because the teacher only dares to joke with students who don't take the initiative. I've never seen the teacher tease Bai Zi and seniors, but he often teases me..."
Hua Lin, who almost let the cat out of the bag, blushed slightly, but it was quickly covered up by her healthy dark skin.
"Speaking of taking it a step further - when I was in high school, I ran into my teacher once. I had just finished washing all my underwear in the laundry room, so I asked him if he wanted to make sure I was wearing them. The look on his face was the best look I've ever seen!"
Asuna, who couldn't understand the atmosphere, continued to speak, unaware that because her voice was so penetrating and lively, almost everyone at the table could hear her clearly.
Sora could only try his best to ignore his students' arrangements. If he continued like this, he would lose his image as a carnivore.
Damn it, if you were already over 20 years old at that time, how could you still have the nerve to speak nonsense here?
"...In addition to these little tricks, I think you are also interested in the effect of the wildly growing star core in bewitching the minds of several generations of humans. I plan to do an experiment to see if I can successfully heal and restore the mind of the controlled person."
"Oh, that's very thoughtful."
Kurita nodded, approving of Kong's somewhat "long-winded" plan.
Of course, she also gained some pleasure from Kong's gnashing expression - in comparison, my student became much more obedient.
"The girl from that company got the location of the automatic machine arsenal. I'll go there this afternoon to see if I can eliminate the possibility of the star core interfering with the automatic machine soldiers... ugh, if I had known earlier, I would have let Screw Gum come down earlier to suffer."
"You weren't so impatient when you got on the bus before..."
"I'm not you. I only have 30 seconds of enthusiasm for the people I protect - I'll go back first. If Snail Gumu and Ruan Mei want to join in the fun, maybe we can have a tea party on Yalilo." Heita said as he was about to put the puppet into self-discipline mode.
"Ruan Mei is coming too?"
"I sent her the information about the snowy ecology of Yalilo before. She is a little interested in cold-resistant creatures, but that's all. Don't hold your hopes too high."
"Where's Stephen?"
"No, that lazy bum is even planning to skip the simulation universe debugging this week...Come back to me after eight o'clock."
Leaving behind an irresistible "collection appointment", Heita ran away as soon as he said he would, and the puppet froze in an instant.
Kong also froze, and then smiled bitterly at Xi'er and Banya, who were puzzled by Heita's unfriendly attitude:
"...Don't worry about it. Heita has always been doing her own thing, but she is really capable. It's best not to offend her."
However, everyone's focus is not on Heita's bad temper...
Sanyue, who was already on high alert, heard that Black Tower had made an appointment with Sora and couldn't help but remind him:
"And eight o'clock - you promised me that you would play games with me tonight, don't cheat!"
……
If it weren't for the various problems that would arise when making his own slices, Sora would have wanted to divide himself into five equal parts like Dottore did and give them to the girls.
"Yes, that's right, Bronya, you should watch carefully. The Go-style bayonet can effectively deflect the enemy's attack. Don't be too rigid about using the blade to chop or stab. When the enemy is close enough to you, the legs and arms can also be very deadly after both sides' weapons are locked—"
"This 'Tongxin' - your axe and spear are held too high, lower your center of gravity a little."
Sora numbly admired Xi'er and Ying's heroic posture when they were training the Iron Guards, but his mood was bitter:
"At this rate... I'm going to be sorry to these four girls again... Oh."
"I can't understand your distress, but if you can't handle it, why don't you reject them?"
Dan Heng, who had completely become an invisible person and completely distanced himself from Kong's encounter with the Shura Field and never offered any help, finally got the chance to chat with Kong and got him a beer.
He felt no envy or gloating, only pity.
"I've refused before, but it was useless. Plus Ying's strong request..."
Sora took the cup and added quietly, "...I hope they will give up...If they are not the kind of people who are obsessed with profit, I really don't want to be known as a heartless person."
Dan Heng, who had never been in a relationship, began to sympathize with Kong: "If it doesn't work, just avoid it for a while."
"I want to, too, but the girls who know me well know that this is far from my limit, so they won't listen to anything I say, and will only work harder..."
Halfway through his words, Kong's expression suddenly changed, from bitter to surprised, and then turned pale.
[Host, the correction of the "Azur Lane System" has been completed, and Party A is preparing to open the second support quota for this system. 】
The stitching system informed Sora like a ghost who had no idea how tiring Sora's private life was.
"Ah? We don't need more reinforcements here for the time being—" Kong hurriedly tried to stop the system from giving him a job.
[This qualification opening is mandatory... because the Azur Lane system needs to collect Party A's information in reverse, don't you want to meet your other girls? ]
"Of course I want to, but the planned shift system hasn't been established yet and they keep shoving people into my place. I can't take it anymore."
[Party A will provide additional subsidies, and will later open a "monthly card" system to help the host awaken more systems. The next system is the "FGO" system. As long as the host can hold on until the FGO system is started, I believe everything will be fine. ]
As if fearing that Sora's will was weak, the stitching system added with a devilish whisper: [If the Command Seal can be obtained, the host can sign a contract with Ying and try to make her powerless every day——]
"…I'm not greedy for the Command Spells or anything like that, I just miss my Shipgirls and Servants so much."
Speaking of this possibility, Kong suddenly became alert: "System, how much energy have I accumulated from clearing the rift world?"
[40%, plus the Aha sponsorship from another ship, the FGO system will be launched soon. ]
243. The big blue stage!
As soon as the Command Seal was mentioned, Sora's waist and legs no longer hurt, and he faced the future with a smile.
The world has been suffering for a long time. Not only did he eat three portions of food by himself, but he also held the pot to eat. His appetite was like a bottomless pit. Even gods rarely show such cruelty!
Kong can't even maintain his dignity by just fighting a draw. He must use the Command Seals to make Ying understand the dangers of the power of the other world!
...Of course, these are all jokes. If I really get the Command Spell, I will definitely not dare to use it carelessly. My desire to pursue power will never stop and I cannot let Ying look down on me.
Putting aside the possibility of calling upon powerful Servants of Chaldea, if he had Magic Circuits, he would be able to reshape his psychic energy and exert the power of his soul in a more materialized form.
After letting the students and their female companions move freely - actually teaching the Iron Guards how to shoot and fight - Sora approached Natasha to inquire about the situation in the surrounding area, to see if he could make some extra money, clear his daily routine, and unlock the FGO system as soon as possible.
"Captain Natasha, do you need more manpower here? Do you have enough supplies?"
"Kong, thanks to you guys, we now have more than enough supplies, and the manpower...if we squeeze in, it's just enough."
Having just treated the injury of a frostbitten guard, Nata took off her mask and gave Kong a not-too-tired smile.
Compared to the miserable situation in the clinic a few days ago where people were crowded like sardines in a can, after dispersing the wounded to several residential areas in Rivet Town, and with the help of the patrol rangers to take care of them, she has a lot more free time and even has time to think about things other than saving people.
This was a rare happy time for her, so her attitude towards Kong was gentler than towards her other colleagues. She herself was not even aware of this gentle change.
"That's good. I came here to find out if there are any rift erosion areas near Panyan Town. I want to use them for on-site teaching."
