Chapter 400: The Penguin: The interpersonal relationships of this era are way too ridiculous! (cont.)

Even count as half a GM?

Russell was instantly reassured. Then he turned back into a cat and leaped into Huihui's arms again.

"Did something happen just now?"

Huihui and Durandal both came over, their faces full of confusion.

"Just a minor accident. It might harm Durandal's eyes."

The gray-and-blue cat raised a paw, looking utterly proud.

"But—"

"It doesn't matter. I'll reload and start over, then alter the Chronicle of Ages."

"The final outcome will definitely be a happy one."

Upon hearing that, Durandal's cat face instantly took on a panicked expression.

No.

What did he mean by possibly harming her eyes?

"What happened?"

She pressed him.

Russell thought for a moment, then muttered.

"Probably... uh... Bishop Otto is trying to seduce your dad."

Durandal: "..."

Huihui: "Huh?"

Even Furina, a pure deer person who knew absolutely nothing about this world's situation, looked bewildered.

Otto.

That name did not sound like a woman's at all.

Gay?

Emm...

That actually seemed normal enough.

Perhaps because she came from the romantic—or rather, absurd—region of France, she quickly regained her composure.

It was just some gay romance.

As long as there was love, even cross-species relationships like the Dragon King and the Melusines were perfectly reasonable.

It was only gay romance. It hadn't even crossed species yet!!

She quickly resumed the dignified expression befitting a divine Archon.

She even began carefully examining one of her prospective peers.

Sumeru's Scarlet Sun King.

This guy looked very strong.

And...

Was it an illusion?

She felt that the Elemental Power around him did not seem particularly intense.

Why did his Elemental Power feel so faint, yet he gave her an impression of being completely above Neuvillette?

What exactly...

was going on here?

Behind the Hydro Archon's coin-like cheerful facade was a sharp and intelligent heart.
