"Two are fine, but we'll need to prepare some warm clothes."

"Over there... you're not going there for important business, are you?" The Yae Miko realized something from the side.

Liu Bai nodded.

"It's just a side thing, it shouldn't be a big deal."

The main goal is to escape the Acheron within reasonable limits.

"That's true..."

After all, it's just an obscure branch; for their current group, going there would really be like a vacation.

"Then help me buy some warm clothes too."

"Good."

We must set off.

Otherwise, judging from Acheron's appearance, he seems to want to exhaust himself every day.

"We'll set off tonight."

"Huh? In such a hurry?"

If you're not in a hurry, your Boss Liu will be "emaciated" in a couple of days!

"That's how it is. I've already spoken to Gray Serpent, and Rita will also be traveling with us this time." Bai said in an unquestionable tone.

The others found it rather strange, but they didn't think much of it. Leaving the mess in the Sky Dome Zone did seem like a relief, and finding something to do was quite normal.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, Siberia is the base of the Cocoilia here."

Liu Bai said something to his own Supreme Guardian.

"Using the Snowy Land as a base?" Cocoilia's expression was somewhat subtle.

Sometimes, the coincidences in the world are truly astonishing.

"I won't need any clothes." Returning to the freezing cold is no different from going home for Cocoilia. With these clothes, she can withstand temperatures of minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius or even lower.

The cold resistance of each person is not on the same level.

"Boss Liu, the first batch of steamed buns is ready. Go feed them to Sister Makoto and remember to let them cool down."

Guinaifen reminded Liu Bai of something.

Since her last chat with Zhen, she and Zhen have quickly become close.

For Zhen, it was to make her more acceptable to the other women around Liu Bai.

For Guinaifen, it was simply about making friends.

"... What? The Doctor, you and Kiana are going too?"

Liu Bai was completely baffled after receiving the call from Mobius.

"No, it's not that I want to do anything bad secretly, but... well, anyway, you just want to keep an eye on me, right?"

Liu Bai sighed, looking helpless as he listened to the voice inside saying "Good boy~~ little white mouse~".

This kind of completely illogical reason is the most difficult to refute.

"Does that the Doctor also have a girlish side?"

The person eating the steamed buns was quite surprised by the conversation they had overheard.

"She is indeed very girlish... she even gives off the feeling of a female demon."

"I'd say it wasn't very honest," Zhen chuckled, covering her mouth. "The Doctor might actually like you a lot."

"Being too popular is great, but it also has its downsides," Bai sighed. "Speaking of which, doesn't Inazuma have any recovery techniques? Like... uh, lightning stimulation of the body or something?"

A crackling electrical current, and you instantly feel energized or something.

"Read fewer comics."

"..."

"The steamed buns taste especially delicious today, what did you put in them?" This really changed the subject.

"A giant squid."

"?"

"It's a giant squid."

The ingredients for Oseir are absolutely top-tier. With Liu Bai's current level 6 cooking skills, he simply took out this thing and cooked it.

With such a massive healing effect, Liu Bai estimated that after consuming this, the Raiden Makoto be able to descend to the ground in a few days.

This is the thing, but it's not appropriate to talk about it directly, since the background setting is still a demon god.

He tilted his head slightly.

Liu Bai's words made it sound as if she had been a general for a thousand years and had never eaten squid.

However, her body is indeed recovering rapidly.

[Raiden Makoto's Affection Level: 5356]

West Siberia, the Northernmost Branch.

"A sudden inspection?" The woman with a burgundy ponytail asked the woman sitting in the deep pool in a gentle but questioning tone, "Rosalind, what's going on?"

"Watch your tone, Kuzkavina."

A burst of flame grazed the face of the gentle-looking woman like a bullet.

The tall, elegant blonde woman acted as if she had done something insignificant.

"Either you go all out with your hypocrisy, or you fight me head-on, what do you say?"

"... You're joking, La Signora, but this is just too sudden."

Kuzkavina paused for a moment, then her tone softened.

"Isn't it a bit suspicious that the S-rank Valkyrie at headquarters is being suddenly inspected at this time?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's just a simple inspection?" Rosalind took a sip of her hot coffee. "After all, I didn't do anything."

"..."

If she weren't lacking confidence in defeating this Crimson Witch of Embers is suspected to have lived for five hundred years, she would have already made her move.

What do you mean by that?

"I don't know, maybe someone knows?"

"Is that right, Lin? Maybe headquarters thinks we have someone colluding with Ni Ba Shang? Meng?"

"What?"

Rosalind's hand holding the cup trembled, and a hint of anger appeared on her face. "How could such a thing happen? Kuzkavina! You must thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"To be honest, I have actually seen a woman who looks very much like you entering and leaving the Cocoilia Orphanage."

Kuzkavina's gentle smile was tinged with a hint of coldness.

Rosalind remained calm. "Is that so? Then it must be someone else's scheme to sow discord. After all, if we were to start a large-scale war with Cocoilia... I wonder how many more war orphans would be born here."

As she finished speaking, Rosalind's gaze sharpened, but then returned to indifference.

Kuzkavina: "..."

This woman... wait until she has cultivated the strongest "weapon"...

"Since you know this might be a ploy by someone to sow discord, shouldn't you at least take some precautions?"

"Isn't intelligence under your control? You can make the arrangements yourself."

Rosalind acted like she was washing her hands of the matter, but Kuzkavina dared not slack off, nor was she happy to be entrusted with such an important task.

If someone were to find fault with me, I'd probably be killed on the spot.

The two of them have been hostile to each other for a long time, but they need to maintain a facade of harmony because of Otto.

"Miss Rita has decided to make a surprise inspection, and you will definitely have to make an appearance."

"..."

For a moment, only the sound of Rosalind sipping her coffee could be heard in the room.

Although she loathed all of Kuzkavina's ridiculous and absurd actions, she was actually a little unsure about this sudden inspection.

The two of them are currently in a phase where they are mutually hindering each other.

Kuzkavina takes in and even creates war orphans to raise poisonous insects.

She had an agreement with Cocoilia that she would take care of the orphanage when Cocoilia was away, and incidentally "steal" people from Kuzkavina.

Of course, if that were all, she wouldn't be afraid.

But that's not the only problem.

Firstly, Kuzkavina is from headquarters.

Secondly, Kuzkavina is very good at disguising and deceiving. By the time she discovered the problem, Kuzkavina had already brainwashed many children.

Thirdly... Rosalind suspects that Kuzkavina is doing something similar to the Babel Tower incident.

Moreover, Rosalind was still unable to confirm the situation.

Although Rosalind felt that Otto wouldn't do such a thing based on her understanding, Rosalind didn't think she knew Otto that well.

This is quite troublesome, to the point that Rosalind simply can't ask Otto directly—it's too risky.

Fortunately, the discovery was timely. Although Kuzkavina had brainwashed many children, with her watching over them, the experiment was not carried out on a large scale. In addition, by joining forces with Cocoilia, they managed to give Kuzkavina a hard time in the "orphanage" industry. It was because of this that Rosalind gradually approached Anti-Entropy.

Another point is that although she is slightly stronger Kuzkavina, she is not confident that she can defeat her easily—otherwise she would have killed her long ago. Having lived for so many years, she still has that much courage.

In addition, this person is very cautious in his actions, so she just couldn't find an opportunity.

This inspection... might not be such a bad opportunity.

Chapter 175 Pellervy

"Firefly, when will your 'that' be fixed?"

On the transport ship of Schicksal, Liu Bai asked about the armor of Firefly beside him.

"Well... it might take a long time. When the spaceship crashed, the armor was severely damaged in order to reduce the impact."

Now that she knew the truth, Firefly was able to answer Liu Bai's questions more calmly.

If she hadn't intervened, everyone would have died in that crash.

"In terms of repairs, there is a lack of various materials, and the self-maintenance of the armor can play a very limited role."

"Hmm? Are you two talking about armor?" Rita turned around.

"It's not the kind of 'armor' like the Valkyrie Armor. If I had to say, it would be more like a 'mecha'," Bai explained.

Speaking of which, in this region, the only companies with technological capabilities seem to be Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

However, the technological level is far too different.

Among the gacha characters, Herta and Himeko are probably the best at mechanical-type characters.

However, Firefly's mech is not a low-end device; even if Herta and Himeko came, they wouldn't be able to crack it in a short time.

Moreover, when it comes to lacking materials... even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

"... This really does have a science fiction feel to it, like interstellar space."

Rita nodded slightly.

Actually, she really wanted to see the mechs and armored vehicles in this interstellar space.

After all, they also have the technology for this route, and that kind of thing can definitely be used as a technological reference.

Just like the interstellar spaceships that Schicksal recovered before.
