Eleanor's Not-So-Great Adventure

"Then defect! Defect to Schicksal's Mandate immediately!"

"Oh, and then?"

"..."

It seems... that's the end of it?

Asta's expression suddenly turned strange.

The overall situation for the future is relatively clear.

It's simply a matter of everyone cooperating together later, or Liu Bai annexing Schicksal.

A rollover?

Um... I'm so sorry, I really couldn't have imagined that Asta Liu Bai would mess up with such a bad hand.

In other words, if Liu Bai really messes up, then everyone will be finished.

Asta had no desire to face a dead Acheron.

"In other words, Asta, you now have nowhere to retreat."

"Bright..."

"Bright?"

"I'll be wearing pink puppy underwear tomorrow! So please, don't issue such a ridiculous order—!"

Ugh, I'm asleep.

Oh no, I got carried away playing games, I need to apologize.

Chapter 346 Elinore's Unfortunate Adventure

"... I overheard some really exciting conversation as soon as I walked in."

Rita held the plate and rubbed her forehead.

Are these guys really so idle that they have nothing better to do?

"Liu Bai, if you have nothing else to do besides sexually harassing women, why don't you start thinking about something new?"

"For example?"

"For example, Miss Kafka and the Herrscher of Dominion are preparing to kidnap Miss Elinore."

"..."

It turned out to be a big deal.

Liu Bai took a deep breath and straightened up.

"What do you mean by 'Kafka and the Herrscher of Dominion are preparing to kidnap Elinore'?"

"... Although I don't want to talk about such serious matters in bed."

Rita placed the tray in front of Liu Bai.

Inside were some simple Western-style breakfasts.

—While it's not recommended to eat breakfast in bed, regardless of what it is.

"But this matter is very simple and literally what it sounds like."

"Kidnapping... and then taking your place?"

Liu Bai realized after a moment's thought that this was not a simple kidnapping.

It was a case of substituting one prince for another.

"That's right." Rita nodded.

"Rita, how did you know?"

Rita hasn't officially taken office as head maid yet, so even if this kind of thing is to be reported, it should be reported through Esther.

To put it bluntly, Kafka's side is probably planning to act first and ask for permission later.

"Don't forget, I am quite popular within Schicksal."

Rita smiled.

She secretly switched identities with Kafka and recommended another group of trustworthy replacements to the Herrscher of Dominion.

But that doesn't mean she can only command these people.

To put it bluntly, even some people in Elinore's medical team owe her a debt of gratitude.

However, Rita doesn't like to reach out unnecessarily—after all, it would be bad if word got out about this.

The Undying Blade was originally her subordinate, so no one could say anything if she reached out.

"You're turning around and spying on us?"

The Herrscher of Dominion emerged from the washroom.

They couldn't pretend they hadn't heard Rita's words!

"How can that be considered surveillance?" Rita remained unmoved by the Herrscher of Dominion's accusation.

How could Rita possibly trust Kafka to mess around with the Herrscher of Dominion?

Rita that nothing good could come of these two being together.

"However, it just so happens that Miss Domination, one of the parties involved, has arrived. Liu Bai, you can directly ask her about the matter."

"Domination?" Bai's gaze turned to Domination.

Liu Bai does not wish to comment on the matter itself for the time being.

"Group...@this...s" The Herrscher of the Void lowered her head nervously, "Master, the truth about this matter is actually..."

"Who started this?"

Liu Bai interrupted the Herrscher of Dominion.

"This..."

"Kafka?"

Liu Bai had some guesses about this.

After all, Kafka... is not lacking in adventure, or rather, a death wish mentality.

Without a "script," it's perfectly normal for Kafka to pull off some amazing feats.

"... Yes." The Herrscher of Dominion had no intention of lying to Liu Bai, and seeing that Liu Bai had guessed it, the Herrscher of Dominion no longer tried to hide it.

"Is it because you're bored?"

After guessing that Kafka was behind it, Liu Bai also learned the reason behind Kafka's actions.

"Ah... it's been half a month."

Upon hearing Liu Bai's words, Rita instantly realized the problem.

The two of them have been switching identities for about half a month now.

However, their personalities are completely different.

Rita's life is actually quite ordinary, and Kafka... well, perhaps in Kafka's eyes her life is also rather ordinary, but that's a matter of definition.

For Kafka, the fact that one or two people die in front of her every day is rather mundane.

To put it more bluntly, Kafka had had her fill of her and lost interest in Elinore.

... That makes sense.

Elinore was clumsy, but incredibly stubborn.

Kafka would probably find it difficult to persuade Elinore while simultaneously playing a role.

"So you're going to flip the table now...?"

That's why Rita dislikes Kafka in some ways.

That's fucked up.

"How many people did you replace?" Bai, on the other hand, remained calm.

"...all."

"All?"

Even though Liu Bai was mentally prepared, his voice still rose several octaves after hearing this answer.

"The entirety of the Undying Blade is still..."

"So... all of them were sent to the place where the Undying Blade was previously placed."

The Herrscher of Dominion spoke with a slightly timid tone.

After all, this matter was not reported to Liu Bai.

As for why it wasn't reported... it was Kafka's instruction, and they also wanted to give Liu Bai a surprise.

... The Herrscher of Dominion felt that their master might really like the theme of the defeated female knight.

Especially women like Elinore who are arrogant and disdainful of others.

However, Rita's sudden mention of this matter turned what should have been a surprise into one of astonishment towards Liu Bai.

"Actually, there are only about a hundred people..."

"..." Bai sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Then, Liu Bai sorted out his thoughts.

"So... now, Elinore is the only one Schicksal who's with Schicksal in their medical team?"

"Um... that's true."

"When will we take action?"

"Should we... call it a day?"

"... Stop it! The arrow is on the bowstring, it has to be released!"

You replaced all the people, and then you asked me if I wanted to stop?

Go to hell with you guys!

Hotel.

The Schicksal Floor.

"... Yes, good morning."

After briefly greeting the doctor she knew, Elinore went into her room.

During their time in Liyue... although they suffered a lot of prejudice, they gradually began to be accepted after their efforts.

—For example, Elinore can now go see Ningguang.

However, considering Ningguang's skill in playing it safe, Elinore now has absolutely no hope of meeting Ningguang.

"... So what exactly am I here for?"

Elinore lay on the sofa.

Although my brother's instructions were very clear, but...

Isn't that strange?

Why myself and Rita?

Instead of Amber and Rita?

Elinore thought of the Amber that resembled Kallen beside her brother.

No matter how you look at it, Amber is far more suitable for this kind of formal diplomacy than he is.
