Chapter 446

Although Freya didn't get too close, she could still see the architectural style of the lunar city from the outside.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Comparing the front-line base that Ryoma and the engineering team worked overtime to build with the city that Mei planned to build for future space development, Freya herself felt that it was indeed very difficult to do so.

"Freya, welcome back."

Ryoma, who was waiting for her at the base, answered somewhat absentmindedly.

He was still wearing his protective suit. It was clear that while Freya was gazing at the lunar city, Ryoma was also contemplating whether he should give up being human.

Ryoma felt he was falling behind the League's development. He used to be able to hold his own against the Valkyrie, but as his strength and agility were gradually overwhelmed by Valkyrie, his technique-based style became less and less popular.

Originally, Ryoma wanted to show off his unparalleled swordsmanship skills in front of his daughter, but in the end, in order to save face, he gave up his plan to spar with Freya.

Both strength and agility were completely overwhelmed by the Valkyrie, let alone Freya, who was capable of overwhelming the Valkyrie.

Even with all his skills, he couldn't withstand Freya's slap, which made Ryoma particularly conflicted.

"I'm back."

"So, how's it going? What are the results of the investigation?"

Knowing that Freya was only going to visit the city on the far side of the moon, Ryoma guessed that Freya was actually going to scout out enemy positions.

Of course, Freya did complete her reconnaissance mission. While marveling at the beauty of the Previous Civilization's architectural style, Freya also located the positions of many Judgment-class Honkai Beasts.

Because of the scarcity of Judgment-class Honkai Beast, many Valkyrie have never had the experience of fighting Judgment-class Honkai Beast.

"We've identified some troops, so for now, things aren't too bad. The main problem is the other monsters."

Based on the current situation, nothing that truly poses a threat to Freya has yet been discovered.

519. Ah, I don't know why, but I'm increasingly wanting to see these two together.

Although Freya came to the lunar frontline base to reinforce the space portal and to conduct reconnaissance of the Previous Civilization city on the far side of the moon, she did not intend to stay on the moon overnight.

Ryoma was completely stunned when he discovered that Freya had gone home that very night.

He wasn't angry at Freya's irresponsible behavior, but rather at Freya for not taking him back with her!

It was only after Ryoma realized that the spatial portal opened by Freya and Aurora could not only teleport people from the Alliance base to the lunar base, but also teleport people from the lunar base back to the Alliance base.

Now that Freya and Aurora have closed the teleportation portal, Ryoma, who missed out on the ride, can only return to his room and sing a sorrowful song alone.

"So you've got a lot of free time..."

"Cocolia said, standing at the door of the room."

As the person in charge of managing the Valkyrie at the lunar base in place of Freya, she intended to discuss related matters with Ryoma.

Cocolia never expected to see someone singing a solo when she came to Ryoma's room. Surprisingly, he sang quite well, with a kind of melancholy feeling that of an old father.

So much so that Cocolia instinctively took out her communicator and recorded this segment.

Of course, his extreme doting fatherhood was also fully exposed during his solo performance.

"..."

Ryoma, feeling great after finishing his song, was about to take a sip of water when Cocolia's words made the air in the room feel as heavy as lead.

"It's you again!!"

Seeing the communication wristwatch on Cocolia's wrist lit up, Ryoma became even more annoyed.

If Ryoma were to name the woman he hates the most, he would say Cocolia without hesitation.

Ryoma has many reasons to hate Cocolia. Not to mention that Cocolia is a radical member of the Anti-Entropy organization, which has many conflicts with the Conservatives Ryoma; just the fact that Cocolia was the mastermind behind kidnapping Mei when she was 8 years old and implanting the Conquest Conqueror Gem into Mei's body is enough to make Ryoma, a super doting father, fight her to the death.

This isn't a rhetorical device; it's that the moment Ryoma learned the truth, he genuinely wanted to kill Cocolia.

Although he was persuaded by Welt, Tesla, and the others, it didn't mean that Ryoma wouldn't make things difficult for them.

Back when Ryoma was still at the League base, he often blocked Cocolia's path and made sarcastic remarks about Cocolia.

Ryoma also knew some of the gossip in the Valkyrie community. He was puzzled as to why there was gossip Cocolia him and Cocolia, especially since their pairing was quite popular.

Faced with Ryoma's blatant disgust, Cocolia had no intention of making any excuses.

Cocolia was prepared to accept Ryoma's hostility and mockery, after all, she had indeed led a group to attack Mei when she was only 8 years old, for her own purposes.

Not only were such young girls used as subjects of dangerous experiments, but the entire process also left a deep shadow on young Mei.

Let alone a super-obsessed father like Ryoma, even a normal father would want to kill her.

However, young girls nowadays really like romance novels about domineering CEOs and witch officers. Cocolia has many adopted daughters, most of whom are at the age where they are obsessed with this kind of work, so she can understand the idea that those young girls want her to be with Ryoma.

In fact, even her adopted daughters were influenced by various strange CEO novels, and recently she even asked her if she planned to remarry Ryoma.

After all, Ryoma and she were a man and a woman, close in age, and both widowed. They were originally executors of the Anti-Entropy organization, and had many conflicts due to their conflicting positions.

In the eyes of the young girls, this was their earliest love-hate relationship, while Ryoma's constant blocking of her at the Alliance base was seen by the group of young girls as a domineering CEO-style pursuit.

If Cocolia weren't involved, from another perspective, well, she would also think that Ryoma wanted to remarry her.

After all, this idiot had cornered her quite a few times, even resorting to wall-pinning to prevent her from escaping.

That's right, with a thud, he cornered her against the wall and then launched into a sarcastic and mocking attack on her.

"It was me. Lord Freya asked me to take over her work."

Cocolia cut straight to the point. She knew Ryoma didn't like her and didn't want to be subjected to his sarcastic remarks.

Although she did intend to accept Ryoma's anger and hatred in its entirety, his behavior was too childish, which made her very embarrassed.

Of her more than one hundred adopted daughters and sons, half of them now believe that Ryoma wants to be their adoptive father, which is clearly a huge misunderstanding.

"Damn it, why did Lord Freya send a woman like you?"

Ryoma, who despises the other party from the bottom of his heart, still can't figure out how those gossips in the Valkyrie community came about, let alone why his pairing with Cocolia is so popular.

"Mr. Ryoma, it's okay if you dislike me, just please don't let your emotions affect the development of the league."

Cocolia has seen through many things, and now she only wants to use the power of the alliance to protect her adopted daughters and sons who she can't let go of.

"... Tsk, I don't bring my emotions to work, but things between you and me aren't so easy to settle."

"Ah!!"

"That was so exciting!"

Hehe~

Just then, Valkyrie came from outside. Cocolia immediately covered her head with one hand and looked at the Valkyrie gradually appearing beside her with a headache.

"You lot!!"

"Oh no! Cocolia is angry!"

"Run! Run!"

"Machi ya ba ku ne!"

The Valkyrie' cheerful escape only made Cocolia more helpless. Freya's favoritism towards them had indeed made them fearless.

However, Ryoma in the room did not realize the seriousness of the situation. A dozen minutes later, the gossip about Cocolia running into Ryoma's room became a hot topic in the Valkyrie community.

At this moment, Freya, who had just finished bathing with Rita, was browsing the Valkyrie community with her communicator to relax, but because of the gossip that was all the rage in the Valkyrie community, she almost dropped the hot milk that Rita handed her.

"Freya?"

Seeing Freya's strange expression, Rita couldn't help but ask curiously.

As a frequent chatterbox in the Valkyrie, Freya often uses an alternate account to post random messages, probably due to lingering instincts from her past life.

That's right, she herself is a supporter of the strange pairing of Ryoma and Cocolia.

Or perhaps the popularity of their pairing is related to Freya's consistent posting of CEO romance novels in the Valkyrie community.

After Cocolia and Ryoma are both her capable subordinates. Cocolia herself is the head of the intelligence agency directly under Rita, and often needs the cooperation of the secret forces under Rita's command.

After learning about the entanglement between Cocolia and Ryoma, Freya naturally kept thinking about how to get the two to cooperate calmly. After all, if Ryoma was always being sarcastic and targeting Cocolia, it would also make Cocolia feel down, especially since she was doing multiple jobs as a spy, and her personal emotions would greatly affect her work performance.

One day, Freya overheard Mei trying to stop Iserin and Huohuo from arguing.

Faced with the famous saying, "Let's talk in bed," Freya suddenly found a way to resolve the relationship between Cocolia and Ryoma, just like a detective with a flash of inspiration.

"No, nothing, just something very interesting happened."

Freya's smile naturally didn't stop.

She was the one who secretly encouraged Ryoma and Cocolia to be paired up.

She kept uploading CEO romance novels to the Valkyrie Club, making the Valkyrie, who are still young girls, addicted to them... Of course, real CEOs can't attract them as warriors.

She deliberately let Cocolia take over her job.

Freya herself hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, or rather, it was completely beyond Freya's own plans.

"That's true. Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. Cocolia's husband has been dead for many years, Ryoma is very handsome. It's not surprising, not surprising at all."

"You don't look like anything's wrong at all. What happened?"

Freya's behavior made Rita even more curious. Wearing a thin, semi-transparent nightgown, she sat down next to Freya, immediately arousing Freya's interest. Rita then saw the contents of the communicator and looked completely bewildered.

"Lady Cocolia, when did you and Lord Ryoma develop this kind of relationship?"

Rita, as the head of the covert force, suddenly felt that she was not doing her job well, having overlooked such important intelligence.

Of course, Rita wouldn't admit that she'd recently become obsessed with Freya's lovemaking, but she also felt she needed to be more restrained lately.

There's nothing we can do about it; our own Lord Freya quite the player, even managing to incorporate the power of wind into it, cough cough.

Although Rita was surprised by how quickly Cocolia and Ryoma were progressing, she wasn't surprised Ryoma they had become like this. Rather, in the entire league, the only suitable partner for Cocolia, this pretty widow, was President Ryoma. Those close in age were either researchers with thinning hair or former Schicksal executives targeted by Freya, while those of similar status and unmarried were just a bunch of greenhorns to Cocolia.

However, what Freya and Welt were happy to see was not a good thing for the two people involved.

Leaving aside Ryoma's feelings for his deceased wife, he harbors a deep animosity towards Cocolia because of Mei's situation.

Cocolia herself had no such thoughts. Although Cocolia had no feelings for her deceased husband, she did not want to forget her daughter Natasha. Rather than finding new love, she preferred to devote her excess feelings to her adopted daughter and son.

"I don't know either, but it would be great if there was any progress."

Freya quickly pieced together part of the story from the gossip in the Valkyrie community. Basically, several Valkyrie witnessed Cocolia going to Ryoma's room.

Considering that in the past, Valkyrie have witnessed Cocolia pinning Ryoma against a wall, witnessed Ryoma and Cocolia engaging in over two hours of combat training in the training room, witnessed Ryoma and Cocolia going to the meeting hall together, witnessed Ryoma and Cocolia eating the same food, witnessed...

Freya naturally knew about the wall slam, and Ryoma's invitation to Cocolia to the training room for a match was simply his way of trying to settle things with Cocolia in a reasonable way. However, in reality, Cocolia did not resist at all and tried to accept Ryoma's attack completely. However, Ryoma could not bring himself to attack Cocolia was doing this; he had no interest in unilaterally beating a woman.

To sever ties with Cocolia was to end their feud as soon as possible, and also to withstand Cocolia's attacks. Ryoma believed that Mei's accident was due to his excessive focus on work and his negligence in protecting Cocolia Mei, which he considered his own responsibility.

Even without Cocolia, there might be Tadalia. Mei kidnapping Mei, Mei's identity as the rich heiress of Mei Company is enough to make many villains take risks.

As for what happened next, it was entirely because both of them had executive authority, and Ryoma was one of the current Seven Archons, so going to the conference hall was naturally on the way. As for eating the same food, it was only because the alliance's restaurant had a fixed set menu.

Freya usually dine at the restaurant on Wednesdays because the Wednesday C set meal includes fried shrimp and Shenzhou's special lion's head meatballs. When she dine at the Alliance restaurant, many Valkyrie also choose the C set meal.

Because of what had happened before, Freya felt that Cocolia should go to Ryoma to explain her succession, since when Freya left, she only said that she would arrange for someone to take over her duties.

Of course, she deliberately didn't mention Cocolia's name because she wanted to give Ryoma a surprise.

As it turns out, there were probably no surprises, but there were likely some shocks.

For Ryoma, she was the woman he hated most.

"Ah, I don't know why, but I'm increasingly looking forward to seeing these two together."

"Lord Freya has such a wicked sense of humor."

Thinking about Freya abusing her power to bring the two together, Rita covered her head and said with a headache.

Perhaps it was because she successfully brought Welt and Tesla together that she became increasingly fond of doing such infuriating things.

"You can't say that, Rita. After all, many people are happy about this. I even secretly asked Mei what she thought."

"Oh? Mei?"

Rita said, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, please call me the Invincible True Lord. If you want to matchmake a widowed couple, you must start with their children. Bronya and Seele go without saying, and I also asked Little Xing and the A-Lynn Sisters what they thought."

Freya's face clearly showed a wicked smile.

Like a certain cheerful priest who loves Mapo Tofu, Freya is quite enthusiastic about this kind of thing.
