Chapter 87

In this state of half-drunkenness and half-awakeness, he saw his lord speaking.

But I always feel that this venerable one...

It's a long story!

Chapter 115 Changing Dungeons

"Ugh... my head hurts..."

Gray Serpent got up from the ground, rubbed his head, and sat back down in his seat, saying, "Can this sake really make you this drunk?"

There are many types of alcohol in the world. Some are mild, some are fiery, some are filling, and some are as bland as water! Sake has a relatively low alcohol content, generally below 22 degrees.

The best taste is achieved at 15 degrees Celsius.

Sake itself has a low alcohol content, and Kuchikamizake) is a very old and inefficient brewing method.

The significance of this wine now lies less in its drinking and more in its role in cultural inheritance, cultural performance, and even in some special Sacrifice Rituals.

As for the alcohol itself, this wine has a lower alcohol content.

It's just over 5 degrees Celsius.

It can't even compare to many beers.

But those two bottles of wine were enough to knock out three people from World Serpent...

That's quite a drinking capacity...

Is he the kind of person who can get drunk and chatter away just by drinking fruit beer?

"This is normal," Jackal said, rubbing his head. "Because when you try to connect to someone else's memories, there will be a strong rejection reaction."

"So I feel like I'm drunk."

"Alright..." Gray Serpent closed his eyes, unwilling to observe the three people's reactions. He only needed to know one outcome.

"What did everyone see?"

"I need to sort this out," Raven said. "My head feels all tangled."

It's all so chaotic, I can't make sense of anything at all. It feels like I'm floating on a cloud, then suddenly being pulled up to the churning sea by a typhoon.

Overall, it was a worthwhile experience.

But it probably won't be very big!

It needs to be sorted out.

This could be crucial!

They might not have seen much, or they might not have seen anything at all. Even if they did see something, it quickly became blurry, and they forgot most of the details.

Only one or two tiny details will remain here.

But right now, what's needed here might just be one or two tiny details!

"Our lord is a sycophant?!" Jackal almost cried out in shock!

In an instant, the three of them suddenly came to their senses!

Yes! I suddenly woke up!

As if struck by a sudden enlightenment, the three of them instantly became incredibly clear-headed!

"Um..." Gray Serpent picked at his ear and said, "What... what did you just say? Comrade Jackal, I hope you can say it again. Organize your thoughts carefully and say it again."

"Where did you get this way of speaking, which sounds like you're sending someone to Siberia to dig potatoes?" Raven said.

"It was just an accident," Gray Serpent said. "It's just that I suddenly felt there was something special about this way of speaking."

"This isn't a purge!" Jackal said. "I'm not on your list either!"

"You're not some big bearded guy who likes to smoke a pipe!"

"Let's summarize," the Jackal said resentfully, "While these memories and feelings haven't completely disappeared."

"We need to clarify this."

"Will it disappear completely?" Gray Serpent was a little surprised, but it seemed that the things he had seen before were indeed starting to become blurry and he couldn't remember them anymore.

"Yes!" Jackal nodded and said, "After all, those memories and feelings don't belong to us."

"We only saw a small part of it because we intervened."

"And this time is too short."

"It simply doesn't leave a lasting impression."

Therefore, it is necessary to confirm this now.

"I understand," Gray Serpent said. "But you just said 'simp,' right? Simp?! I know you girls really crave to see men groveling at your feet, falling head over heels for you."

"But how could our Lord be such a person? Our great Lord!"

"It absolutely cannot be that kind of person!"

"Only his charm could make MEI so irresistible!"

"How could I possibly be MEI's lapdog?!"

"Isn't that going too far?!"

Isn't that going too far?

"Absolutely..." Raven was about to argue, but a sudden sense of unease made her change her mind and say, "That's exactly right! Just as Comrade Gray Serpent said."

"Given Your Excellency's personal charisma, attracting MEI shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

"Our Lord could never be a sycophant of MEI! Comrade Jackal."

"If you don't want to dig potatoes."

"Please take responsibility for your words!"

"I think," Jackal, as a scientist, is a stickler for facts. She firmly changed the subject and presented a fact that everyone agreed on, "The relationship between MEI and the Lord is not ordinary."

"Very good!" Gray Serpent had to admit. "Indeed."

"MEI has a very good relationship with His Majesty."

This is a point that everyone must acknowledge.

It's even quite subtle.

And I always felt that the things I did before...

"Do you know where this bottle came from?" Gray Serpent pushed the bottle aside and glanced at everyone, saying, "Do you recognize this bottle and what its origins are?"

The Jackal and the Raven shook their heads in unison.

"I don't know!" said the Raven. "I've never seen, heard of, or brought back such a bottle."

Although we see very few, they are fading away rapidly.

You might not feel that way anymore after a while.

But now the Raven knows that what it did before was definitely teetering on the edge of death! If the Lord knew what they were doing now.

I reckon everything is doomed.

"Hmm." Gray Serpent nodded and said, "Let's deal with this bottle later; nobody has ever seen it before."

Let's deal with the bottle issue for now.

Since it's just the three of them, it's clear for now that they must keep quiet. No one should wait until all memories have faded and all feelings have subsided before bringing this up before the Lord.

"So, the next question," Gray Serpent said, "Is it confirmed now?"

"It's confirmed," Jackal said. "She is indeed the person we're looking for."

This issue is now completely settled, and most people agree on this point.

"So now we have two issues to discuss," Gray Serpent said. "The first issue is that we need this MEI; she can no longer stay on the Hyperion."

"I went to research those weird anime-flavored instant noodles!"

"The second question is, how should we deal with the Raiden Ryoma?"

Raiden Ryoma can be considered both innocent and not innocent. He was simply unlucky in this situation. After all, Mei, his wife, and his daughter all look so alike.

Then the Lord will come out and say things like, "You slept with my wife and had a daughter."

Anyway...

My reincarnated wife is also my wife; I guess the Lord would think so.

"The professional team should not stop," Gray Serpent immediately said. "Be ready to step in at any time, and we don't need to worry too much about pushing ourselves to the forefront."

"Just find something to teach that person."

"She must be very interested in Raiden Ryoma's dirty secrets."

He felt that personally dealing with the Raiden Ryoma would be enough to atone for his sins, but Gray Serpent still felt that there were some things about his lord that were difficult to discuss. What if Mei pleaded for him or something?

Anyway, the situation is hard to say, and Gray Serpent himself can't guarantee anything.

In short, we just need to find someone to deal with the Raiden Ryoma.

If the Lord is pleased, they can step forward to claim credit and atone for their sins; if the Lord is displeased, they can shift the blame. In the end, they won't know anything, and all they need is someone to take the fall for them.

But there's one thing!

"Raven!" Gray Serpent emphasized again, "We must 'invite' MEI over!"

"Don't forget to interpret it as the 'please' later!"

It's the real 'please,' not that kind of 'please'!

"Of course, we have to 'invite' them over no matter what!"

Raven nodded, and she quickly disappeared into the small conference room.

If we can't invite them all, then everyone can just go play with eggs!

Now it's up to Schicksal!

'Should we inform the Lord?' Raven suddenly pondered this question.

'Should we report everything to the Lord?'

It feels like I'm courting death!

Himeko, aboard the Hyperion, finds herself on another new day. After observing the fathers of her two students Himeko is quite certain that their feud is unlikely to be the result of some long-standing grudge.

It just appeared!

The open and covert struggles, which feel like they're going to kill each other, are not an overreaction; there is indeed a hint of that.

Of course, it wasn't a real killing blow.

Like...

I'm a little jealous...

'Is it really about stealing a wife?' Himeko was a little confused about the real reason, but it just seemed very similar.

However, it's not entirely impossible to figure out the root cause.

All we need to do is deal with Dr. Mei.

Filled with questions, Himeko approached Dr. Mei's laboratory. She swiped her card, and the door opened. As a teacher, and one with high authority at that, Himeko possessed exceptional privileges and didn't need to repeatedly swipe her card like Kiana to call Mei out.

"Dr. Mei?" Himeko called out as she walked in.

No one agreed.

"Dr. Mei?" Himeko immediately felt something was off.

Still no one agreed!

She looked around.

'Nobody here?'
