The Couple Who Have Never Won (Continued)

Li Zihan believed the Hero Faction could understand the look in his eyes, because anyone who couldn't had already been used by him as firecrackers.

"This child does look rather unfamiliar." Cao Cao quickly caught Li Zihan's hint and smiled, then turned to Riku with a question.

"Aren't you going to introduce her to us?"

Riku let out a sigh of relief. It seemed his companions had not realized she was a Machine God Race. Having long prepared an identity for Shubie, he began introducing the girl beside him.

"...After deciphering the Goblin Race's map, I confirmed that there should be a small settlement near where the Forest Spirit Race and Goblin Race had fought—so I went to check, and found her."

In a sense, Riku was quite skilled at lying as well.

"This child no longer has any family, so I brought her back."

"I see."

Li Zihan nodded in agreement, then glanced at the Hero Faction. The Hero Faction members exchanged looks and quickly began offering their opinions.

"I see." (Siegfried)

"No wonder." (Joan of Arc)

"So that was how this played out?" (Heracles)

Under the threat of the Meteor Shower of the Extreme Night and Sacred Devotion, the Hero Faction members obediently voiced their agreement.

"Where did this child come from? She's so cuuute!!"

The red-haired woman, who would become the first queen of the Human Race in the future, saw everyone gathered in a circle and walked over. Then she saw her.

That was Cronie Dora, who considered herself Riku's older sister and had always kept the Human Race settlement lively.

"She's a child I found in an abandoned Human Race settlement. As for why I brought her here—"

Pretending to be timid, Shubie hid behind Riku and answered why he had brought her here.
