Kallen Seems a Little Too Repressed.

"This..."

After hearing what these two said, Furina also became a little insecure.

—Although it wasn't actually an illusion.

However, after examining her for a while, Liu Bai would agree to the trivial conditions on the grounds that "Furina is quite cute".

"In short! We have now successfully formed a military alliance with Liu Bai!"

"Isn't it just that you're being sheltered?"

Navia complains.

However, there was no real dissatisfaction. We are all family, so let us be subordinate. As long as there is no exploitation, nothing else matters.

"Alright, Lord Furina, let's leave this small talk here. May I ask what you meant when you said at the beginning of the tea party, 'If you touch those two, you can't touch me'?"

Navia walked over step by step, using her height advantage from standing to suppress Furina.

"Could someone be planning to use me and Clorinde as a marriage alliance?"

"Huh? Huh? Wait... Why don't we discuss the statement 'If you're going to make a move, make it only against me'?"

Although the oppressive aura emanating from Navia startled Furina, it did not disrupt Furina train of thought at all.

Furina is actually quite resilient to pressure—as long as the pressure isn't greater than Otto's, everything is fine.

"Isn't protecting the people the responsibility of the gods?"

"This statement is just too... shameless."

"Anyway, Lord Furina, you had the idea of 'betraying the people' back then, didn't you?"

Navia looked sad.

"I never expected my idol to be in such a critical moment..."

"Alright, Navia, stop teasing Lord Furina."

Clorinde intervened in time, "... Lord Furina is just too nervous."

"Uh-huh!"

Furina nodded repeatedly, "My first thought is to protect you!"

So, your second thought was to sell them, right?

Clorinde felt an urge to facepalm.

"The weight of Fontaine is heavier than that of you and me!"

Furina was trying to fool the two people present.

However, neither Clorinde nor Navia reacted to Furina's attempt to cover up her true identity.

"But then again, if we think about it from the perspective of selling one's daughter for personal gain, shouldn't it be Lady Furina who was forced into a marriage alliance?"

"Why me?"

Furina was startled by Navia's words.

"Since Egeria is back, Lord Furina, you'll become a princess, right? Marriages and such are for princesses, aren't they? Why would a commoner like me go?"

"Gurgle..."

"Welcome, welcome! Liu Bai, have you been comfortable staying here these past few days?"

"Very comfortable."

"In what way? St. Freya Academy's vibrant female students?"

"Don't steer the conversation toward minors."

Cecilia tapped the bowl.

Although the scale of the event was larger than that of Furina's side, the atmosphere was more relaxed.

It might be because of the host.

For five hundred years, Furina lived in constant fear and trembling.

Meanwhile, Kallen lived a carefree life for five hundred years.

If we're talking about political acumen, Furina might actually be better than Kallen.

However, their mindset is far too poor.

Kallen managed to make the dinner atmosphere feel like a family gathering.

"There aren't many minors left, are there?"

Kallen thought about the situation at the academy.

In fact, most people are over 18 years old.

After all, Valkyries can be certified at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

St. Freya Academy exists to allow girls who become Valkyries at the age of thirteen or fourteen to accumulate a few more years of experience smoothly.

A 16-year-old A-Rank Valkyrie like Wendy is undoubtedly a genius.

"That doesn't mean you can sell students."

"I was just teasing Liu Bai. If Liu Bai agrees, I can tease him for being a lolicon pervert."

"... and then market Theresa?"

Cecilia glanced thoughtfully at Theresa, who was eating with her head down.

"Liu Bai, is it the vibrant female students of the St. Freya Academy who make you feel comfortable?"

"Cough cough—!"

Theresa choked on the spot.

Cecilia paused for less than a second between her two sentences, so Theresa had no time to react when she realized the topic had suddenly shifted to her.

I don't think so...

Liu Bai, on the other hand, reacted very calmly.

"Is it because it's not small enough? How about considering Theresa?"

"Hey! Cecilia!"

"Mother!"

Theresa and Kiana both cried out.

Theresa's reasons for protesting are self-evident.

Kiana understands perfectly well—don't push your daughter's boyfriend to your daughter's aunt at this time!

"Hmm? Theresa, didn't you complain about being single before?"

"? Do I have one?"

Theresa was stunned for a moment.

"Some."

Cecilia nodded seriously.

You're lying to me!

"No."

"No...?"

Cecilia's earnest gaze made Theresa begin to doubt herself.

Kallen watched this scene with great interest.

"Isn't this a bit too blatant?"

As a distinguished guest, Liu Bai sat next to Kallen. When he picked up his glass and quietly clinked glasses with Kallen, he made a comment.

"Does someone who openly proclaims themselves '○' have the right to criticize others for being 'explicit'?"

"... So you're saying that because you think I'm not a picky eater, you just dumped Theresa on me?"

Liu Bai's comprehension skills allowed him to understand Kallen's meaning in an instant, and he immediately rolled his eyes repeatedly.

"She can be both a wife and a daughter, isn't that great?"

Kallen gave a mocking smile.

Pellervy must not hear this...

Liu Bai remained silent.

"By the way, come with me after you finish eating."

Liu Bai really couldn't handle the topic, so he could only change the subject.

"What are you doing? Trying to kidnap someone?"

Kallen still spoke in a teasing tone, "I'm not some big sister who's so easy to seduce."

"It's about Elinore."

"Elinore?"

Kallen suddenly remembered.

Because Elinore is too stubborn, she and Rita have to dress in a more decadent way to break Elinore's heart.

"That's true... but isn't this really Liu Bai trying to take advantage of me, his older sister, in a legitimate way?"

Kallen continued to create trouble under the guise of the issue.

"It was supposed to be an act, but halfway through, they took it all for real and forcibly stole the 500-year-old chastity of a Holy Maiden of Schicksal... sobs"

"..."

"..."

Liu Bai wasn't the only one who remained silent.

The entire dinner party fell silent.

No, actually, we've been silent for quite a while now.

The reason is very, very simple—did these two people really think that their whispered conversation was insignificant?

422

Chapter 422 Kallen seems to be a little too repressed.

Why are you all looking at me?

Kallen quickly sensed that something was wrong.

But it doesn't matter!

She's shameless!

The thick skin that has been honed over five hundred years is finally ready to be put to use!

"Haven't you ever seen someone who's repressed by life?"

"..."

Kallen's extremely shameless words plunged everyone into an even deeper silence.

Kallen's lips curled up slightly.

Hmph! All the white-haired people here should call her ancestor, okay?!

"Sigh, thinking about it carefully, you young people only think about yourselves and never think about your elders."

Kallen began, feigning sadness.

All the white-haired people present fell silent.
