No, was the Raikou family really this rich?!

Who exactly was the decaying aristocratic class here?!

"All of this can be yours."

"Gold is hard currency. As for the businesses and U.S. dollars, I'm sure you know how to turn them into resources."

The man who had long sworn to devote his life to Anti-Entropy looked at the boxes, his expression deeply conflicted.

He had thought himself invulnerable.

But the moment he saw his daughter, he understood his own weakness.

He hoped Mei could live a stable life.

The man opened the final box. Inside lay a long blade that had been designed from the very beginning to deal with Herrschers.

Raikou Ryoma drew the blade, and its chill gave him an odd sense of familiarity.

It was his greatest masterpiece.

When he had used the Conqueror Gem to preserve his daughter's life, he had already prepared himself for a fight to the death against the Herrscher of Thunder.

And now, it was time for it to have a new owner.

Raikou Ryoma sheathed the tachi and pushed it toward Russell.

"Take these, and my daughter, and leave this world for good."

Plasma Shadow Show

Raikou Ryoma's greatest masterpiece, designed based on the power of Divine Key: Judgment of Flame and Star of Eden from his memories. Its output rivaled a Divine Key in its normal state, and it had been intended to one day strike down the god occupying his daughter's body.

But unfortunately, Raikou Ryoma did not know that a Divine Key could only be considered a match for a Herrscher after activating Zero Rated Power.

So this blade could never defeat the Herrscher of Thunder.

Note: Mr. Ryoma, here, this is your sword. Your precious daughter has already become a fully evolved Herrscher of Thunder. Please begin your performance.

Note 2: Although this sword cannot defeat the Herrscher of Thunder, possessing it carries a certain ambiguous meaning. Accepting it can fast-forward your capture progress with Megumin to eighty percent.

Leave ME Corp through the main gate, turn left, and there is a department store. You can buy a green hat and give it to Kiana. She should like it.

Note 3: Turn right after leaving this room, and there is an IT studio. There are one hundred and twenty mechanical keyboards inside. Lord Russell, please begin your performance.

Damn.

That had been careless.

Russell looked at the sword and felt that he really should not have made his vow quite so absolute.

Fortunately, only the Prompt Device knew he had made that vow.

So he could just pretend nothing had happened.

Tsk—

The Prompt Device made a contemptuous sound.

You really can't afford to lose. You just swore an oath, and now you're swallowing it back. Aren't you afraid you'll turn into a fat pig?

"Fine, I'll get fat. I can just shift it into my tail anyway. My tail is a little thin right now, and it doesn't look very nice. Making it thicker isn't a bad thing, and it can nourish the fur on my tail too."

"Besides, Megumin and I haven't even gotten anywhere yet. Why are we talking about eating keyboards raw?"

Russell continued bickering with the Prompt Device, then took a picture with the chat group and sent it to Megumin.

"Your father wants me to be your guardian from now on."

"Basically, he wants me to hold onto your assets and give you an allowance every month. But let's get one thing straight first—even if your father gave me a lot of money, I'm not driving you to and from school."

"He seems to have already asked someone to buy yellow paper and Ah Kun. I suspect he wants to become sworn brothers with me."

"Huh?"

Her dad was becoming sworn brothers with Russell?!

At the thought that she might have to call one of her friends in the group her godfather in the future, Megumin felt as if a hundred Huskies were howling inside her head and a thousand fireworks were exploding. Her thoughts and reason shattered in an instant.

Too ridiculous.

Utterly ridiculous.

"Father, what are you talking about with Russell?"

"Don't you think becoming sworn brothers with your daughter's friend is strange?"

Megumin's scalp went numb as well, and she hurriedly barged in.

Raikou Ryoma stared in astonishment at his aggressively approaching daughter, then glanced at Russell beside him.

He seemed to realize something.

Then, in the end, he said nothing.

You twisted apart the steel wire Yue Lao tied together!

The Prompt Device felt like its heart was twitching.

Was avoiding chewing keyboards really worth paying such a huge price?

"I think that if the prerequisite for capturing a beautiful girl is eating one hundred and twenty keyboards raw, most people would back off."

Russell said teasingly.

Then he stretched lazily.

The Prompt Device had made him think he was about to run into some rose-colored youth.

Instead, he had arrived to find a parental arrangement.

That was a bit boring.

"Besides, the most heart-stirring thing about a beautiful girl should be the blush on her face and her shy demeanor, not just a pretty face."

"You said it yourself—my Red Star Movement is active today. Since I have more choices, why would I choose someone with no emotional foundation?"

Russell shrugged and tossed a talisman toward Raikou Ryoma.

"A noble horse can drive away all external forces. You can try taking the thing inside Megumin's body out now."

"And this lousy sword can't beat the Herrscher of Thunder at all. Anyone who actually believed you and tried fighting the Herrscher of Thunder with it would get their head twisted right off."

The young man casually grabbed Plasma Shadow Show and hung it at his waist.

"I'll take this unfinished product as my consultation fee. You don't mind, right? After all, it has lost that significance. It's just an ordinary sword now."

Raikou Ryoma nodded silently.

Then, while Megumin stood there at a complete loss, he pulled her away toward somewhere else.

"You should give me a hint about where my next destined romance is."

Russell shrugged and asked.

Approximate location... Vienna.

Mm, your cheap adopted daughter is really scared. She has always thought you were after her mother, and she wants you to hurry up and find another target.

Mm, she has already arranged eighteen blind dates for you. The candidates range from sixteen to thirty-six years old, and there are even antiques over fifty thousand years old. The moment you appear in front of her, she will drag you into blind dates until you get married.

Well, damn.

Russell had to applaud Durandal's execution skills.

Want to go? The quality of the candidates Durandal chose is very high. After all, she thinks you have a crush on her biological mother—the light of the previous generation of Schicksal—so they are all stunning beauties.

"No!!"

Russell decisively ignored Durandal's efforts.

Come on, what he feared most right now was Durandal suddenly coming to her senses and punching him twice.

And now he was supposed to go meet her?

Wasn't that just asking to be beaten?

"Anything else? I feel like my luck in love is pretty strong today. I'll definitely get out of singlehood."

Russell looked to the Prompt Device once again, asking it to keep providing romantic guidance.

Those words made the Prompt Device grow somewhat exasperated.

Damn it, you ****! You have lived here for less than three days. Where am I supposed to find so many red strings for you?!

It looked like the Prompt Device was out of ideas too.

"Then I'm going back."

Russell naturally prepared to go home and sleep.

No, if I had to say, there is actually another girl in Changkong City who has a rather thick emotional thread connecting her to you... It just isn't red. If you can turn around her resentment toward you and make her feel warmth, she will become an extremely loyal partner... It might just be awkward when she sees Mei later.

Just as Russell was preparing to head home, the Prompt Device spoke again.

No, there was another one?

Even Russell was a little stunned.

He was genuinely impressed by the Prompt Device.

He had only been in the Honkai world for a few days, busy doing missions and barely talking to anyone, yet this thing had managed to give him three leads in a row.

But wasn't the description of this third lead a little off?

She held deep resentment toward him... craved warmth... and it would be awkward when she saw Megumin...

"Kiana?"

Russell asked tentatively.

Correct answer.

Russell's eyes widened.

Damn.

Dating this one would get him thrown in jail!!

Kiana, You Wouldn't Want Me to Marry Mei, Would You?

Kiana Kaslana.

The protagonist of the Honkai series.

These days, protagonists generally needed some kind of bizarre background.

Kiana was not a natural human. She was an artificial human.

To explore the mysteries of life and death, Bishop Otto chose to implant the core of the Herrscher of the Void into a genetically modified human created from the genes of Sirin and Siegfried's daughter.

In 2006, the soul named Sirin was able to match with a brand-new body.

That was Kiana Kaslana.

It was now 2014.

Her body was only eight years old.

Russell looked at his Prompt Device and thought that it might as well tell him to pursue Bronya instead. Bronya was fourteen, and by Russia's bizarre standards, she counted as an adult. But Kiana was different. Even if he dragged her to Russia, her age would still be far too low.

A normally developing child could never reach her level of maturity in eight years. Her true nature is second-round Sirin.

Honestly, Kiana's family background and talent surpassed Mei's by several streets. The gains from dating her would be far more satisfying than draining Raikou Ryoma's wealth.

As always, the Prompt Device began its analysis of beautiful girls' charm from an economic perspective.

Put that way, Kiana really did seem like a great girl.

Russell was slightly tempted.

Of course, proving that she is Sirin is your problem. If the German police take you out because you cannot prove Kiana is Sirin, all I can say is that I will do my best to reincarnate you as your wife's child.
