"Ahem..." Lü Heng cleared his throat. "What did she say?"
"Hmm..." Firefly paused, feigning deep thought. "I remember Robin mentioning a kind Captain among her colleagues—an older man who was very good to her, like a big brother figure."
That must be Captain Zhong, Lü Heng thought.
"Then there's this really strict senior who feels like a stern homeroom teacher."
Definitely Bai Yuanju, Lü Heng nodded in complete agreement.
"And a lively and ...

To put it mildly, discovering that the group member he had been chatting with so easily was actually a stunningly beautiful girl should have been great news. But as they recalled their past behavior in the group—the wild rants and bizarre topics they'd discussed—every memory now felt like a source of acute embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue now that you know your groupmate's a beautiful girl? Is that all it takes? And here you all were, day after day, complaining that...

"This dish is absolutely delicious!"
"Mmm, you're right. It's so much better than anything I had in Europe, and the price is great too."
"See? I told you coming here was a great idea!"
"Are there any other good spots around here? Let's check them out after we finish eating."
A remarkably cute silver-haired young girl and a bizarrely bundled-up figure were eating together, engaging in a seemingly cheerful conversation.
Aside from the second person's odd habit of w...

With the assistance of the European Union, Firefly quickly completed her travel arrangements. The very next day, she boarded a flight to Longcheng, Dragon Nation.
As she stepped off the plane and took in the Chinese signs and shops lining the airport, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Chinese is so much better."
In Europe, she couldn't understand any of the signs. Trying to find a decent meal was frustrating; she couldn't even tell if a place was a restaurant or not.

"Target locked. Execute immediately."
With those emotionless words, a single strike of Supernova Overload crashed into the center of the battlefield. Instantly, fire and explosions engulfed all enemies. Seconds later, Firefly found herself pulled out of the Dimensional Rift and back into the real world.
She glanced at the System's Iron Cavalry completion progress, which had skyrocketed to an absurd sixty-five percent. Two days had passed since she declared her ne...

At least their reaction wasn't slow. Upon hearing Firefly's words, SAM nodded. "I'm very interested in the Dimensional Rifts in this world."
When one party initiates a request for cooperation, they naturally find themselves in a weaker position. For example, if Firefly had proactively suggested collaborating with the European Union, her credibility would have taken a significant hit.
Therefore, Firefly used silence to force the European Union to propose the collaboration themselve...

The solution to underwater navigation was surprisingly simple. After reaching a safe distance from the shores of Borkum Island, Firefly controlled SAM to burst out of the water and soar into the upper atmosphere, flying straight towards the Dimensional Rift.
As for the risk of crossing other countries' airspace and provoking hostility, that was easily mitigated. By flying high enough, almost into space, no nation could reasonably claim that airspace as their own.
Soon, Firefly arr...

But Luna gently raised her hand, and a radiant, unusual Vision swayed lightly with her movement.

"Huh?"
Charlotte looked down.
Where's my Vision? How did it end up in her hand?
Did it just fall off on its own?

Luna, who had been resting on set, snapped back to attention.
A Phantom Thief Black Cat?
"You mean a copycat? That's certainly possible."
Maybe there's even a Phantom Thief Rainbow Cat or a Phantom Thief Blue Cat.
But ultimately, Fontaine can only have one Phantom Thief, and that must be her. Otherwise, orchestrating these events would become far more troublesome....

Water. Luna peered down at the pool beneath the floor, its depths concealed.
It appeared to be ordinary seawater, not the primordial waters of the Primordial Sea.

Shenhe looked at the three of them, her brow furrowed in puzzlement. "What are you doing here?"
I knew she'd ask that. What should I say? I can't exactly admit, "Hehe, I was actually tailing you," or who knows what she'd think.
Don't panic... Just say this.
Qin Yu smiled. "Good morning, Shenhe! What a coincidence. Actually..."

As soon as Shenhe entered the gift shop, the female shopkeeper approached with a warm smile. "Are you looking for a gift, dear customer?"
"Hmm," Shenhe replied calmly, glancing around the gift shop to see what was on offer.

Remembering Qin Yu's request, the shopkeeper cautiously ventured, "If you don't mind, I can mak...

An Adeptus Clan disciple coming down from the mountains to shop in the city? Hu Tao wondered. Could her Adeptus Master need something? No, judging by the shops she's visiting—dessert parlors, jewelry stores, general stores—that doesn't seem likely.
So it's a gift after all?

Just how close do I need to get to reach that level?

When Lofan opened his eyes again, he found himself locked in an iron cage.
The air reeked of putrid decay, and blood-stained torture instruments hung on the walls.
The place was shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by the faint sound of ragged breathing.
Lofan raised a finger and ignited a small flame. The sight that greeted him chilled his gaze.
Three iron cages held seven or eight children around the age of ten, their bodies covered in blood and their lives hanging...

"The losses this time were truly devastating. Thank goodness I had saved up some Points beforehand."
After respawning at home, Lofan carried his previous corpse into the secret chamber, deep in thought.
Each body required a specific identity, costing him 900 Points. Though he'd recover 400-500 Points upon death, the net loss still stung.
However, Lofan remained confident that his eventual gains would more than justify the investment, so he didn't dwell on it further.

The mere fact that SAM was a fan of Robin dashed Miss Maid's plan to leverage Robin's influence and recruit him to the Dragon Nation.
After learning about SAM's background and experiences, it became clear that tying such an individual to a single nation was fundamentally unrealistic.

Shinji examined his drawn card, a knowing smile spreading across his face.
"Victory is already within my grasp!"
"I summoned the Engraving Worm precisely to provide cover for the Wing Blade Insect. How many more attacks can your measly 1800 Life Points withstand?" Shinji pointed at the buzzing insect on Illya's field. "Don't forget, the Wing Blade Insect can attack the master directly."
"Two."
Even Illya could manage such simple arithmetic.
