Chapter 85
"The good thing is that the organization behind him doesn't seem to be protecting him."
"At the same time," Gray Serpent continued, "If she really is the reincarnation of Mei, whether she is stuffed in and sewn together or is a reincarnation, it is a very advantageous thing for us."
"Then," Gray Serpent said, opening the bottle and filling everyone's cup, "To our Lord!"
Cheers, everyone!
"We need to add some more ingredients!" the Jackal said.
"That's right!" Raven said, "One of these two bottles belongs to that woman. The other one belongs to Mei."
"The two bottles are exactly the same, without labels and out of order."
"So I don't know whose bottle it is."
Chapter 113 Come On, Showcase
Wearing a crimson suit of armor, it looked like an old school swimsuit with added armor plates.
Mei frowned involuntarily.
The Valkyrie's armor seems to be more... how to put it? A rather unsettling feeling. Let's exclude this person who looks so awful I don't want to recognize them at all.
Mei intends to simply evaluate the armor.
If Kiana's armor initially seemed like a surprise, then looking at this armor now, it's definitely not a surprise anymore.
The Valkyrie's armor seems to be something like that.
There's a general idea that the less you cover up, the higher your defense level.
It has many exposed areas, and it feels more like a school swimsuit with special metal plates added to it than just what it looks like.
The level of shame is quite high...
And those shoes too!
Mei has worn high heels before. When you wear high heels, your center of gravity shifts backward, forcing your legs to straighten accordingly. This causes your buttocks to contract, your chest to push forward, and your stride to shorten, which makes a woman's posture and gait more graceful and charming, highlighting her elegance and charm.
However, high heels are not a panacea; although they can enhance a woman's image, they are not a cure-all.
It also has its share of drawbacks.
First of all, high heels are not suitable for exercise! Furthermore, wearing high heels for extended periods can lead to many foot problems and complications.
The problem now is not complications or triggering foot problems.
It's not that high heels are suitable for exercise!
It could even be said that high heels severely restrict women's athletic ability.
Valkyrie, being primarily combat-oriented beings, must prioritize physical fitness! This is because their physical activity is not only intense but also extremely demanding, and even the slightest mistake in battle can have fatal consequences!
High heels, shoes that severely restrict women's movement, have actually been paired with Valkyrie armor.
Did the designer who designed the Valkyrie armor have a Playboy brain?
Is this how you play it?
Mei tried her best to criticize the Valkyrie armor, but no matter how much she criticized it, she couldn't stop the dazzling light emanating from the person wearing it.
Too...
This is so offensive!
Mei didn't want to watch, but she had no choice but to!
Watching him stride confidently and powerfully, with an air of arrogance that bordered on disregard for family, Raiden Mei had to admit that the saying 'high heels were once worn by men' really wasn't without merit!
The man in high heels seemed completely unaffected!
The man in high heels...
"Mei!" Kiana almost cried out, "Isn't that...?"
"What is it?!" Mei's face darkened, and her voice, as cold as a Siberian gust of wind, interrupted Kiana, saying, "Do you know that person?"
'Isn't that your dad...?'
Kiana still didn't dare to shout it out.
Mei's face was absolutely terrifying! She had never seen anything like it before.
"I feel like I'm going to be sent to dig potatoes any second now!" Bronya, expressionless, shifted slightly. This is arguably the most famous meme about Russians!
But the meaning behind this meme isn't so funny!
Bronya wisely knew she didn't want to dig potatoes, regardless of what relationship this man had with Mei.
It would be better if she didn't say anything.
"Why not have Mei's mom try?" Bronya tried to start a conversation to ease the awkwardness caused by Kiana, that clueless idiot.
"If this were Mei's mother, it would suit her perfectly, wouldn't it?"
After all, they look exactly the same, in terms of figure and everything else...
Hmm... Mei's mother would be more suitable.
Feeling the 70D/56/90...
"It's probably because he's a researcher," Mei finally calmed down and explained, "He might not be well-suited for combat."
That's how it should be, but Mei always feels like something's not quite right. Although her mother looks like a weakling, Mei always feels that her mother isn't weak at all.
She was simply hiding her true strength.
My mother is far stronger than I imagine!
He is more than just a researcher.
She turned her attention back to the martial arts stage.
She couldn't help but marvel again, "So you can fight even in high heels!" My beloved father, how do you know how to say that so fluently!
I might not even be able to walk like that, let alone dare to do it in high heels!
How come you're so skilled?
Actually, Raiden Mei was overthinking it; Raiden Ryoma wasn't that skilled either. Although he was forced into it, thanks to his excellent balance and athleticism, everything went quite well.
In short, he has a real talent for cross-dressing!
For example, in terms of appearance, Raiden Ryoma looks much more refined.
Compared to the unshaven, rugged-looking, and wild-looking Siegfried, he was more pleasing to the eye.
Raiden Ryoma is very serious, extremely serious.
He was conscripted.
There's a saying, "When you're under someone's roof, you can't bow your head."
Now that we're on a ship, we have no choice but to bow our heads.
As someone Anti-Entropy, Raiden Ryoma felt he had every reason to refuse the request. However Raiden Ryoma accepted it nonetheless.
It's not just people on ships who have to bow their heads.
He would be happy to have a chance to beat Siegfried up openly and legitimately.
"I heard you've retired because of Cecilia," Raiden Ryoma said, resting his hand on the back of his sword. "I thought you wouldn't serve Schicksal and Otto anymore."
"They actually came back?"
"Because Cecilia is here," Siegfried said, hands on his hips. "And..."
He glanced at Kiana and said, "I also intend to be a good father and mend our broken family."
"So you've got your eye on her?" Raiden Ryoma gripped the back of his sword and said, "Isn't that a bit much?"
"She's not your wife," Siegfried said. "And the situation is far more complicated and unbelievable than you can imagine. Even novelists wouldn't dare to write something like this."
"So complex that the author who designed this plot would get criticized."
"Is that so?" Raiden Ryoma said, "So you're saying that even though it's so bizarre and complicated, it all happened, right?"
"Yes," Siegfried said, spreading his hands. "I can't explain it, that's just reality."
"I advise you not to get involved; I'm not giving up!"
"I'll stake the name of my ancestors and the Kaslana family!"
"Then I'll stake the Raiden Family's honor on it!" Raiden Ryoma declared, "I'll crush you, you spying bastard!"
You'd better keep the green hat to yourself!
From the moment I made that decision, she belonged to me!
The battle wasn't just about to break out; it had already begun!
Neither of them wielded particularly powerful weapons; Siegfried was dual-wielding USP.45s, while Raiden Ryoma carried the village's cursed sword. The battle began with Siegfried striking first.
There was no design for catching up later or gaining the upper hand by striking later.
The advantage of firearms lies in their rate of fire and range!
Taking the initiative is a sound strategy!
Siegfried wasn't about to be foolish enough to charge in and engage Raiden Ryoma in close combat; he knew that Raiden Ryoma was an extremely difficult opponent to fight at close range. But once he created distance, as long as he could avoid being caught in close combat, victory would be easy!
He fired alternately with both hands, the bullets not yet so dense as to rain down.
But the superior shooting skills and the precision of the firearms themselves made every bullet so deadly!
"What is that?!"
Mei watched in shock as everything unfolded on the field. In her mind, combat should be close-quarters, with tanks and assault teams. When facing the enemy's ranged firepower, it was purely about relying on armor to withstand the attacks and then charging in to hack and slash.
But Raiden Ryoma gave Mei another way of advancing that she had thought about, seen, but didn't think was realistic.
Cut!
Cut through the bullet!
The long sword was drawn and swung rapidly in the air, the flashing blades transforming into an impenetrable wall before the Raiden Ryoma! This wall was so agile, light, and unstoppable.
The Raiden Ryoma charged forward!
The dense barrage of bullets seemed to have no effect whatsoever, easily cleaved by the Raiden Ryoma, deviating from their trajectory and landing somewhere unknown.
The low-level bullets did not stop their advance.
He charged quickly toward Siegfried.
"It's live ammunition!" Bronya said, somewhat surprised. "Live ammunition?!"
The training used training ammunition, so there was no danger. But I never expected that this battle would use live ammunition! It truly looks like the closest thing to real combat!
No!
Or rather, this is a real-world combat scenario!
"They will lose!" Bronya said again. "The man with the sword will lose."
"Why?" Although Mei felt extremely ashamed of her father's appearance, deep down she didn't really want to see him lose.
"We lack ranged attack capabilities," Bronya said. "We lack ranged attacks, and Kiana's father is also strong in melee combat."
"So Kiana's father won't lose even if he gets into close combat."
At least he won't lose so easily, and it looks like he's waiting to be caught off guard.
Siegfried wasn't actually retreating; he was just pretending to back away, unwilling to get close. His retreating speed was far slower than the speed at which the Raiden Ryoma could get close.
In just a few breaths, the Raiden Ryoma had already closed the attack range, and a blade flashed past.
Just then, Siegfried suddenly jumped backward.
A black hole appeared ten steps behind Raiden Ryoma, and a tremendous force pulled him out.
Nebula Impact!
Bye-bye~
