Siegfried had no doubt about his daughter's ability to act.
She's a mischievous kid who, at four or five years old, can climb onto the roof and tear off tiles with her older sister, and she's even more energetic than her sister.
After Siegfried left, the others immediately surrounded him.
"Bella, what kind of '○' are you talking about?"
Shiyu Qiluo couldn't wait to gossip.
Cheng Lixue: "..."
Ah... why do I have to discuss these things here after escaping the clutches of my senior sister and master?
Damn...
Let's go grab a drink first...
Cheng Lixue walked away silently.
"...Hmm, it's probably because my body is very hot and I feel like I want to show my belly to His Highness the Prince."
Bella shared her feelings very honestly.
"I want Your Highness to touch me."
"Little puppy..."
-
"Ah! Lord Liu Bai, what a coincidence!"
"Furina... good morning."
Liu Bai, who arrived late, did not see Natasha in the bar, but instead saw Funina and Xianyun.
The bartender is... Navia?
Liu Bai noticed that the bartender also had a strong presence.
“This is one of my guards, Navia Casapa.”
Funina introduced herself to Liu Bai.
"Ahem... Greetings, I am Navia, the current president of the Fontainebleau Rose Society."
Navia lifted her skirt and performed a flawless aristocratic bow.
Funina: "!?"
Wait a minute, isn't this self-introduction a little too polite? Isn't this the Navia she knows?
...So Navia, even you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes are a sucker for good looks?
Are you here for a drink?
After mentally complaining, Funina picked up her wine glass and invited Liu Bai to drink.
"Have a drink, but just treat me like a minor."
Liu Bai sat next to Funina.
Navia was slightly taken aback.
What does it mean to treat someone as a minor?
"You mean non-alcoholic beverages, right?"
A cold-looking girl came out from backstage carrying two bottles of wine.
"Let me introduce you again. This is my other bodyguard, Clarinde, Fontaine's duel agent."
Clarind nodded slightly to Liu Bai without saying anything more.
That earnest look he had when we first met is just like Sara's.
"Oh... a non-alcoholic drink."
Navia immediately understood and began mixing drinks, albeit somewhat awkwardly.
"Miss Clorinde, could I have another drink?"
Xianyun waved to Clorinde.
"...It's quite a rare sight to see two people like you two."
Liu Bai looked at Funina and Xianyun.
"It's just a coincidence."
Funina seemed a little embarrassed.
You can't exactly say she's gathering intelligence on Liu Bai, can you?
Or rather, they were "bribing" Liu Bai's bedmates to whisper in his ear.
She does have these little tricks that aren't annoying.
"By the way, Fryna, can you contact Agolia?"
Two days ago, Agoria and Joyce lost contact due to fluctuations in the Sea of Quanta.
It's unclear when things will recover, but only after an objective assessment of their combat strength can Liu Bai and the others sit so comfortably.
"Lady Ergolia."
Furina was somewhat troubled. "If we were in Fontainebleau, we could probably make contact, but here... I can't sense it either."
"Aren't you worried?"
"...I don't think Lady Agoria needs my concern."
Funina scratched her head.
The situation she has encountered most often over the years is that "worrying is useless."
"No matter what, Lady Egolia is a goddess who holds the power of judgment... even though the heart of the god resides within me."
Although Ergolia may not be as powerful as Zhongli or Ying, who are born martial gods, she is not a weakling either.
"Mr. Liu Bai, do you think there's a big problem over there?"
"It's very big... or rather, I feel like I've forgotten something."
"This feeling is pretty normal, right? I sometimes find myself thinking about something, but then I just can't remember it after a moment of distraction."
"...That's just natural airheading."
Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.
"He's naturally naive."
Xianyun, supporting his chest, nodded in agreement.
Ah... I want to be Lord Liu Bai's mother...
"Yes, is that so?"
Fu Ningna was a little embarrassed.
This topic made her a little embarrassed.
"However, if Mr. Liu Bai plans to venture deep into the Sea of Quanta, could you please take me with you?"
"Yes, it shouldn't be too late to go deeper..."
If communications cannot be restored, they cannot remain sitting still indefinitely.
Fu Ningna is considered a fighting force to some extent.
"Won't this bring down destiny?"
"No, but be prepared to clash with fate."
Liu Bai glanced at Funina, who was relieved.
Then, Funina showed a slight hint of doubt.
Will they collide?
"If it were in the next few days, yes."
Liu Bai replied, "The reason is simple: both sides will choose to dive during a safe time when the Quantum Sea is not fluctuating much."
"...Anyway, this day was bound to come eventually."
Fryna is still a coward to Otto, but it's better to be an enemy than an ally.
—Frinna would rather be stared at by Otto with hostility than with a smiling gaze.
"Anyway, Lord Liu Bai, you should be able to wipe out that whale and Otto in no time, right?"
Funina continued to flatter Liu Bai.
"If there are no variables."
Liu Bai shrugged. It was a cute little trick, but he wasn't really buying it.
"By the way, Funina, your speech last night was excellent."
"Huh? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
[Furina's favorability rating: 20 → 24]
Fu Ningna blushed.
She didn't want to recall her speech last night.
"Just a normal comment."
Liu Bai glanced at Funina, "But your argument is missing a very important element."
Fryna has a lot of potential – it's just that she was under too much pressure at the beginning.
It feels like you're already facing off against the Great Demon King before you've even left the starting village—both in the present and in the original work.
"One link is missing..."
Funina looked thoughtful. "What's missing?"
"If I have to remind you, your persuasiveness will decrease in the future."
Liu Bai was curious when Funina would realize what was happening.
"Hmm... Well, in that case, please let me think about it."
Funina panicked and shook her head repeatedly.
What she lacked yesterday was an argument—what would an alliance with Fontaine offer him?
After all, forming an alliance is essentially a different kind of comparison shopping.
In order to win people's hearts, you must not only slander others but also show your own strengths.
...Hopefully, the final conditions offered won't be as simplistic and crude as Funina's.
In a sense, this condition is actually hard to refuse.

Chapter 406 Lord Hanabi will never crash.
"Um... can this medicine be made by hand?"
At noon, Hanabi arrived at Ruanmei's room as promised and watched Ruanmei undergo "Dark Transformation".
"The essence is that great strength makes bricks fly."
Ruan Mei dripped three drops of medicine into the test tube and explained without turning her head.
The main effect of turning Liu Bai into a beast is actually just a common aphrodisiac; the other effects, such as enhancing physical strength and bodily fluids, are secondary.
Ruan Mei preferred the feeling of being stretched to the point of bursting and taking a bath, which is why she added these two effects.
It would be much simpler to just have Liu Bai transform into a wild beast.
Moreover, Ruan Mei brought a lot of the original solution with her suitcase this time, which can be used after just following the steps.
