Declaration of War

"But... Jinghua, would you be willing to join my family and become part of my household?"

Chapter 173 Declaration of War

Ming Ge transmitted basic information about his world and his family relationships into Kusanagi Shizuka's mind, causing her to fall silent.

Looking into Ming Ge's gentle eyes, and thinking about what had happened in the past two days.

Kusanagi Shizuka finally gritted her teeth and hugged Ming Ge.

"Wherever my master goes, I will go; my master's home... is my home!"

Kusanagi Shizuka hates scumbags like 'Grandpa,' but Ming Ge doesn't fit that description.

First, Ming Ge takes place is similar to the Middle Ages, but the concepts are different.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, Kusanagi Shizuka dislikes is the type of person who acts recklessly and would destroy her family.

However, if one integrates into the family from the beginning, rather than being the 'playful' type like grandfather, it's not unacceptable.

From the memories transmitted by Ming Ge, it's clear that both sisters were very gentle and tolerant.

Joining such a family will never affect the relationships between family members.

Of course... perhaps these are all her thoughts, but they are also her reasons.

What truly matters is that she wants to be with Ming Ge. If Ming Ge sincerely invites her, she will convince herself to give up thoughts that are relatively unimportant.

At the same time, this also reflects the sky's inclusiveness.

The sky also has two paths: a tyrannical ruler who reigns supreme, or a benevolent king who embraces and tolerates all. Kusanagi Shizuka chose the latter because she was not aloof.

"Thank you, Jinghua."

Ming Ge gently hugged her and kissed her on the lips.

Quietly, with no other movements, they simply felt each other's warmth.

Their meeting was 'destiny,' Ming Ge knew this from the beginning, but he had no reason to refuse.

Good destinies are preserved, while bad ones are severed; Ming Ge is such a flexible person.

As the first Campione! to defy fate, Kusanagi Shizuka's instincts also sensed this.

Clearly, she shared the same thought.

The two people held hands and fell from the sky.

After arriving in the outside world from the Starry World, Erica returned to their side.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other plans for the future?"

Seeing the two getting along better and better, Erica was envious, but she also had to ask about the important matter.

"Nature."

Ming Ge nodded and said, "The birth of a new Campione! is a major event for this world. Regardless of what the person involved thinks, Jinghua, you will inevitably be caught in the vortex. You understand that, right?"

"Hmm... like in anime, where all sorts of enemies come knocking on your door?"

Kusanagi Shizuka as a metaphor.

"More or less, but not exactly."

Ming Ge said, "You are well aware of the power of the Campione!. Humans are powerless against you, so the description of 'various enemies' is a bit exaggerated. But as the 'protagonist,' it's only natural that you'll be involved in various events, and the chances of encountering disobedient gods will also increase."

"My idea is that instead of passively getting caught up in various events, we should take the initiative."

"Besides that, I also have my own purposes."

Upon hearing Ming Ge's explanation, Kusanagi Shizuka nodded and said, "It's good that Master has made the decision."

"Well, in that case..." Ming Ge looked at Erica and smiled, "Erica, please announce our existence and declare war on Salvatore Tony."

"Hey Ni, wanna fight?"

Kusanagi Shizuka blinked.

"This is necessary," Ming Ge said. "Salvatore Tony is a battle maniac; even if we ignore him, he will inevitably come looking for us."

"Instead of passively waiting for the other side, it's better to agree on the battlefield in advance, which can minimize losses."

Even so, Erica could tell that Ming Ge wasn't telling the whole truth.

As expected, Ming Ge's next sentence revealed his purpose.

"Besides, it's better to gain some benefits from this pointless battle than to engage in it."

Ming Ge said to Erica, "If you lose, you have to give me his territory."

Salvatore Tony's territory is in Southern Europe, and the Copper Black Cross, where Erica is located, is one of the magic societies within it.

"Contending for territory?"

Although Kusanagi Shizuka didn't have such thoughts, since it was Ming Ge's arrangement, she was too lazy to think about it.

She knew almost nothing about the other world; she only knew about it from Ming Ge.

In any case, he just needed to do as Ming Ge said.

"I see."

Erica paused, responded, and then asked, "Where should we choose?"

"You can choose any of the desert islands in Northern Europe. We'll set off after two more days of sightseeing."

Having agreed to Ming Ge's request, Erica set off back to Milan.

Meanwhile, Ming Ge and Kusanagi Shizuka were enjoying themselves and going on a date on the island.

After they had had their fun, they returned to their home in Lucretia.

"Welcome back, my king."

Unlike the last time when she was comfortably lounging in a chair, this time Lucretia knelt very formally at the door, leaving Kusanagi Shizuka somewhat at a loss.

"Miss Lucretia?"
