Chapter 86

Durandal: "Herrscher of Reason, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble going to see Kevin, a Herrscher?"

The Herrscher of Reason: "What's there to be afraid of? I'm Fu Hua. He can't possibly fight me. Even if he does, with Fenghuang Down in hand, it's only a 50/50 chance. We can still enjoy the air conditioning."

Kiana: "Kevin is like an air conditioner, so isn't Chakravartin like a heater?"

Chakravartin: "!!!"

Pardofelis: "Huh? Forget about Brother Jie, he's afraid of fire."

[Sakura uses the item, Life Coin.]

Himeko Murata: "Sister Sakura, are you going to find your sister so soon?"

Sakura: "Well, now that I have the chance to change everything, the first thing I should do is check on Rin's safety."

Elysia: "There's no need to worry about safety for now, but the timeline of the Previous Era might be a little different from what you expected."

Cherry. "?!!"

She had originally wanted to ask what was different, but the effect of the Life Coin appeared, and as soon as Sakura arrived at the Fire Moth's base, the scene before her left her somewhat bewildered.

Where is the base?

It was jointly established by the world's top leaders. What about our massive base Fire Moth?

Sakura looked at the place in front of her that had been transformed into an amusement park, then at the pink decorations, and finally her eyes fell on the building's landmark.

--Fairy Amusement Park?

Elysia, you definitely did this, didn't you?!

The sudden influx of information left Sakura somewhat bewildered.

In her memory, the Fire Moth base was not only fraught with danger and filled with dangerous characters—laboratories and battlefields were everywhere—it was certainly a notorious and dangerous organization.

What's going on with this place that's obviously an amusement park?

Do the top brass at Fire Moth really get their money from thin air?!

"Let's go find Rin instead."

As Sakura walked through the amusement Elysian Realm area, she finally saw a moth that somewhat matched her image of Fire Moth.

A highly sophisticated force, fully armed soldiers, and a heavily guarded basement—based on Sakura's experience, the underground area was where the true nature of the Fire Moth.

She knew it; no matter how crazy the higher-ups at Fire Moth were, they wouldn't build the base into an amusement Elysian Realm.

"Etc!"

As she walked, Sakura suddenly realized something was wrong.

The way the armed forces around her were looking at her was strange; it wasn't the way they used to look at their colleagues. She was very familiar with that kind of look—the way subordinates looked at their superiors.

Sakura touched her clothes and found an extra compartment than she remembered; inside was a business card that served as her current identification.

--Thirteen Flame-Chasers Council, Member of Parliament, Sakura.

Although she didn't know what this "Thirteen Flame-Chasers Council" was, the identification card marked with the ability to mobilize troops and crack most classified documents made Sakura understand one thing.

The higher-ups are actually myself?!

Sakura: "Elysia, what's going on?"

Elysia: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Has Sakura encountered something terrible, or is she lost in her own home?"

Sakura: "I'm a little lost... but what's this 'Thirteen Flame-Chasers Council' all about?"

Elysia: "Eh? You didn't know? I thought you would ask Pardo for information before you left. Sakura, you can be so careless?"

Sakura: "It was my oversight."

Pardofelis: "Sister Sakura, you're really missing out if you don't come to my shop! I've gotten a lot of information from Sister Elysia through subtle means, I have to make a profit... make some money off her!"

We lost money.

Pardo felt like she had really lost out big time.

She had finally encountered a customer who needed her information, but she had accidentally let him go. You see, Pardofelis had begged and pleaded with Elysia for a long time for that information.

Next one, Pardofelis vowed, she couldn't let the next easy target get away no matter what.

Elysia: "Sakura, how does it feel to be in charge and become a high-ranking member of the Fire Moth? You know, the Fire Moth is now part of Eden."

Eden: "Elysia, the Fire Moth is not anyone's property. What we need to do is make it a true organization that protects humanity."

Elysia: "Of course, I was just using a rather subtle way of praising Eden, who has contributed the most. Judging from Sakura's surprised tone, you must have seen my masterpiece, right?"

Sakura: "Masterpiece... you mean the amusement Elysian Realm from before?"

She was right; the person who turned a large, eerie area of the Fire Moth into an amusement Elysian Realm was indeed you.

That Pink Fairy graffiti must be your work, right? You're really something, Elysia!

Elysia: "I've always felt that the Fire Moth's philosophy is flawed. We're an organization that protects humanity; how can we always be so gloomy? We need to add some positive energy."

Raiden Mei: "The truth?"

Elysia: "Mei, your curiosity is kicking in again. But who can blame me for always being such a curious little thing? If you say Elysia is the cutest person in the world, or if you want me to touch your horns, I might not be unable to tell you."

Raiden Mei: "I'd be honored to decline."

As expected, Elysia, you still have ill intentions towards her horn!

Fortunately, the horns on her head haven't grown yet, otherwise, Mei suspects that Elysia would have touched her horns to get the trial version of the Life Coin from Pardofelis.

I'd better go find Rin.

Sakura noticed that the atmosphere in the Chat Group was becoming ambiguous, sighed, and then continued searching for her younger sister.

Chapter 141 Shocking! Eden Isn't Paying Wages

The base of the Fire Moth has been expanded.

As one of the earlier Fusion Warrior to join the Fire Moth, Sakura could clearly feel its changes.

However, upon closer reflection, according to Elysia, the current economy of Fire Moth relies on Eden's investment. Given that the wealthy female artist is not short of money, Sakura can understand Elysia's decision to open an amusement Elysian Realm in Fire Moth.

'I guess it's for the children in those nursing homes.'

Given Elysia's relationship with Apponia, Sakura could roughly guess Elysia's purpose.

Some of the children Apponia adopted at the sanatorium were infected with the [Honkai Disease], and they were one of the reasons why Apponia was held accountable.

In the past, knowing the danger lurking around her, her mission would naturally be to eliminate it, but Sakura didn't want to see Apponia; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist taking action.

Sakura's purpose today is to find her younger sister.

Under no circumstances should we engage in conflict with Apponia at this point in time.

Sakura searched for a long time, feeling somewhat lost Fire Moth. Fortunately, she managed to find her sister's school by using her special privileges to mobilize the Fire Moth's resources.

Then, using her privilege, she agreed to let her younger sister, who was still attending tutoring classes, go shopping with her.

"Ring, where else would you like to go?"

Sakura accompanied Rin as they bought a huge pile of clothes on the street, her hands laden with bags of all sizes, and she gave the girl beside her a loving look.

If I had taken on fewer tasks and spent more time with Rin during my time with Fire Moth, perhaps she would have felt better in the end.

"Sister, you've already dragged me to three restaurants and four clothing stores. We've bought clothes for three years from now."

The pink-haired girl looked up and rolled her eyes at her older sister.

If they kept shopping, she wondered if her older sister would spend all of her salary for the month.

Most importantly, her stomach is already full.

Just now at the store, my sister didn't eat anything and just watched her the whole time, which made me feel really embarrassed.

My older sister is usually very busy. If it weren't for the ears on her head, Ling would have suspected that her older sister had been switched at birth.

"Sister apologizes, Rin. Now that you're full, let's go to the amusement Elysian Realm."

Sakura lowered her head and patted her younger sister's head. The warmth from her hand made her feel an unprecedented happiness.

"Great! I heard from my classmates that a new amusement Elysian Realm has been built, something like... Fairy Amusement Park. I even have discounted tickets."

"..."

Sakura's smile froze.

What Fairy Amusement Park? Everyone else might not know, but doesn't she?!

That amusement Elysian Realm was just a disguise for the Fire Moth base; the three underground levels were a heavily guarded secret base.

Elysia, building an amusement Elysian Realm is one thing, but you even dared to sell discount coupons to the public?!

Aren't you afraid of being exposed?!

Sakura was speechless with frustration. She knew that the Fire Moth's base couldn't be found so easily, but now it was her younger sister's turn to go. Given her past experience, how could she not be nervous?

However, when faced with her sister's expectant gaze, Sakura ultimately gave in.

"Only once today, and you can't play for too long."

No matter how the place is modified, Sakura's impression of the Fire Moth is still that of a demon's lair. Moreover, with Mobius around, letting her sister go to the amusement Elysian Realm is already the maximum tolerance she can give.

"Okay, I know my sister is busy with work, but she still makes time to come see me."

"..."

Work, job?!

After being reminded, Sakura realized that she seemed to be one of the thirteen decision-makers of the Fire Moth. Excluding those like Chakravartin Calamities who were unlikely to come to work and would only cause trouble... her job must be quite demanding.

At this moment, Sakura received a message from the staff of Fire Moth.

The gist of it was urging her to come back; the office was overflowing with documents that needed her approval, to the point where she needed coffee to get through it all.

Sakura: "Why hasn't anyone mentioned work to me?"

Eden: "..."

Elysia: "Sakura, this is a sacrifice we Flame-Chasers must make to save humanity, manage the Fire Moth, and get everything back on track. How can you call it work?"

What you said makes a lot of sense.

Sakura was speechless, but the workload in the message kept stimulating her nerves.

Wendy: "A necessary sacrifice for humanity, does that mean the boss behind the scenes isn't going to pay me? I guess going to work is out of the question."

Theresa: "Wendy, don't instill the idea of slacking off into the Flame-Chasers who just started saving humanity at work!"

Pardofelis: "E- Sister Eden... we don't get paid?"

Cat stared wide-eyed at Sister Eden, who remained silent to the side, completely unexpected that the generous Sister Eden would not pay wages.

So, as the behind-the-scenes boss, could Eden's purpose in establishing the Council of Thirteen be simply to manage both the Fire Moth and the concerts, working overtime until he can't take it anymore?

That's why she wanted to drag them all down with her, right?

No, Sister Eden!

Cat was hoping that after becoming a high-ranking member of the Fire Moth, he could rely on Eden's high salary to live a life of leisure, sleeping soundly amidst piles of silver coins!

Himeko Murata: "Speaking of work, Theresa, you didn't seem to pay me my salary from last month."

Theresa: "Himeko, I only helped keep your salary safe because I was worried you'd use it to buy alcohol!"

Seeing Theresa's face, which seemed to say, "I'm only withholding your salary because I care about your health, "Teacher Himeko couldn't help but twitch her lips.

How could you say something like that? Typical Theresa.

Kiana: "Auntie, you didn't use Auntie Himeko's salary to buy Humo comics, did you?"

Theresa: "Me? Am I that kind of person? St. Freya Academy has so much funding, why would I need to embezzle Himeko's salary?"

Durandal: "?!!"

How could this person say such a thing in front of me Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, who is also the Emperor of Schicksal's Hidden Power?

Durandal: "Senior Theresa, I feel it's necessary to report you to Schicksal Headquarters regarding your withholding of Valkyrie wages."

Theresa: "No, Durandal! If funding is cut, how am I supposed to support so many students at the St. Freya Academy!"

For example, her eldest niece Kiana can eat eight bowls of rice in one sitting.
