573. Today's Dinner at the Shimazaki Family - Some people rule outside and others rule inside(1/2)
"Well...one vote against!"
Illya raised her hand to express her thoughts about the star:
"I understand what you hate, Geese and Al, but I don't hate a collective society with abundant material goods. Increasing the number is the only way for the evolution of imperfect races, and there are many shining points in it, especially
Enjoy and have fun.
It’s just that when the number of people gradually increases, it will be annoying if there is any kind of struggle...but we can just try to keep an eye on this, right?”
Illya, who is new to the world, said that compared to living in a lonely castle isolated from the world, she actually yearns for an ordinary life of living in a small courtyard in a castle town, with a shopping street not far away, and occasionally going shopping in a bustling city.
"Illya, you are too naive, but what you said is correct to a certain extent... So in the end, what about Meteora? Which one do you vote for?"
"You three...well, my personal will is to stand on the side that supports not developing the population, but after thinking about it, I'd better think about it carefully and discuss it at the next group meeting. Anyway,
It’s not an urgent case.”
Meteora can also understand the importance of the Star Proposal, and she also doesn't like the crowding of people and the separation of forces. However, in order not to be influenced by the other three people, she decided to consider this proposal in the long run.
"So, this matter will be considered in the long term. The specific route plan will be decided on a annual basis and in the form of meetings. Does anyone agree?"
"Tch, I didn't expect you, Meteora, to have escaped the erosion of bureaucracy [inaction]? But...one vote in favor." Xingke liked the word "delay" the most.
"Your Excellency Xing Ke, this is not bureaucracy, it's just that I want to verify it carefully and study it carefully."
"Okay, let's take a long-term approach, right? I have no objection. It's so late today." Illya looked out the window and stretched.
"No objection, then I'll leave today if it's okay. I left the house a little later than scheduled, and Setsuna is still waiting for me." Altair stood up at the right time, and until the end... sprinkled a handful of dog food?
"Okay, thank you for coming here today. Welcome to play next time."
However, Xingke rarely teased her this time, but directly waved goodbye.
"Sigh... That's it for today. I will convey to the others the news that you have returned it to Mr. Xingke. If you find a chance, you can also repair the badge and join the chat group."
"Yes, yes, yes, bye, good night."
Extraordinary people always say farewell quickly, and this is especially true when communicating with acquaintances. They don't even leave the front door, they just turn around and disappear.
only……
They seem to have forgotten something.
…………
Meteora thought the same way - she seemed to have forgotten something.
However, until she returned to the library, took off her cloak, and wanted to take a bath, her mind was still occupied by the future planning issues raised by Xingke, and she did not even think about what she had forgotten.
remaining memory.
So she gave up thinking for the time being and wanted to take a bath and relax. Although she didn't do much today, she still felt tired... This must not be an illusion.
"My lord Meimei!~My lord Meimei!~"
"Oh, Mr. Berry, you came just in time, I need to take a bath now..."
It was at this time that the elf Berry, who was in charge of the library's daily duties, Meteora's secretary, ran over on short legs, with a small pom-pom on the tip of her tricorn hat and two golden ponytails.
, every swing is so cute and healing.
"Okay ~ I understand! ~ Master Meimei, and this..."
Berry nodded and handed over a stack of manuscripts, but before Meteora came to pick it up, she thought of something else...
"Oh, by the way, how are the two guests doing?"
"Hmm~ um~ The two guests have already slept in the guest room~ and this..."
"Then I hope they are still used to it. It is obviously Mr. Xingke who should entertain them..."
Just when Meteora complained that she was too anxious to leave and forgot to send Mashiro and Kazuha to the Imperial Palace, she saw her elf's expression of aggrievedness and about to cry:
"Ah, Sir Berry, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Don't cry, don't cry..."
After squatting down and touching the elf's head, Berry had the opportunity to finish what she said:
"Sir Meimei!~This, this! Today's loss bill of the currency exchange system from the time you gave the order to the time it was closed! I have finished sorting it out!"
She took the manuscript from Berry's hand and looked at the large and small amounts in the rows and columns above. These were all entered into the account today. From now on, they will have very little use and will basically no longer be in short supply of [Magic].
At this moment, Meteora suddenly remembered what she had forgotten...
…………
………
…
"Huh-huh-huh-"
After soaking his entire body and shoulders into the hot water, Meteora let out a long sigh of relief:
"Speaking of which, in the end, what is the difference between [the future development of the Garden of Death is better with more people or fewer people] and [Why did Lord Hoshikaku suddenly release his magic power and destroy the economic system of the Garden of Death without any warning]
What about the relationship?"
There was no way, Jiang was still very old, and this time he was fooled by Xing Ke's aimless pulling, and he was not responsible for it without chasing him.
Although I don’t know if Xingke had this intention from the beginning, I still missed the opportunity to ask him for an explanation.
It's just that it's now, and my depressed mood has changed because of the hot spring water, so it doesn't matter what it is...
"Anyway, no matter how much work and responsibilities are delayed, they will still belong to him in the end. Let's forget about it today..."
After experiencing a "war", in the moment of decadence, almost no one could make him stand up and work hard, and Meteora couldn't do anything to him.
"It's just that the future...is hard to understand..."
Although the study of magic is very interesting, and the magic books and storybooks collected from various worlds are enough for Meteora to pass the time, it is still a bit difficult to call these [life goals]. It feels wrong...
"Being called the [Inquirer of All Principles], but he doesn't want to regard exploring the truth as the primary goal in his heart. Those guys who regard me as a role model of magisters and admire me will definitely be disappointed, right?"
But in the final analysis, those who started to regard her as their lifelong goal without her consent had nothing to do with her at all. She didn't want to be responsible at all.
"By the way...there's something I want..."
After soothing his mood, Meteora seemed to have remembered something. He stretched out a finger from the water, used magic power to operate the badge on the side, and connected to a friend's communication——
"Ah? Meteora? What happened?"
Serekia's passionate and full voice came from the badge. Although there was some confusion in it, this familiar voice made Meteora's expression become softer.
"Well, good evening, Sir Serekia. It's actually nothing serious, so don't be nervous."
"Oh? It's fine if nothing happens, but if nothing happens..."
Because of the shortage of magic power before, the semi-permanent magic gems left before Star Carving have been moved to places where they are more needed, so everyone has agreed to minimize cross-border phone calls that consume huge amounts of magic power.
At least leisurely meaningless chatting needs to be avoided.
"Well, if it's about magic power, it doesn't matter now. Lord Xingke has returned safely. With him here, the magic power of the Garden of Death will no longer be scarce in the future. Feel free to use it boldly!"
"Oh! Really?! That brat is finally back! So, Your Excellency Illya..." Serekia was a little surprised at first, and then turned to worry.
"No problem. The plan to save Lord Illya was also a complete success. As originally expected, Lord Xingke's existence is special and all problems have been solved."
"Huh, that's good..." Serekia felt relieved: "Well, I know, the Demon King's City in this world will be found soon, and Karon and I will be able to go back soon! ~
By the way, I haven’t seen that arrogant kid who died without authorization for a long time. I miss him a little, and I have long decided to have a good talk with him. How dare I let sister Illya do that..."
Not paying attention to Serekia's determination, Meteora's expression slowly turned serious. What he cared about was Serekia's initial words:
"Um, um, Serekia, didn't you and Caron... have you reconciled? Didn't you say that the last time we contacted you..."
When asked about this matter, Serekia's voice became a little bitter:
"Ah... well... Caron and I did have a big fight some time ago. There are indeed some problems in our relationship..."
Isn't that the level where some problems have occurred? How many times has that been? Meteora frowned.
"You also know that because of his popular physique as a [Son of Destiny] and his troublesome character, there are always outstanding women around him one after another. I just prevent him from having relationships with other people.
I have tried my best...
But I didn’t expect him. In order to save a female cadre under the Demon King, he said that because I am too strong now, I can no longer see the struggles of the weak!"
Serekia's aggrieved anger reached Meteora's ears clearly through the Rainbow Bridge and across the world.
"Indeed, I myself know that the way I look at problems now is increasingly deviating from the past, but my will to help the weak and make the world I live in a more peaceful and stable place has never changed!"
Well, I know, you haven't changed at all, I know it. Meteora shrank up and silently affirmed her in her heart.
"The method used is more clever, and it is beneficial to everyone, but why is he so obsessed with what is in front of him? Why are creatures like men so impulsive!?
And I obviously did nothing wrong, but Caron got angry at me with that look in his eyes... Ah, I'm sorry, Meteora, for letting you listen to my complaints."
"It's okay. I'm very happy to be the one you can confide in, Serekia."
"Well, thank you, Meteora." Serekia's words were full of gratitude, and the resentment just now disappeared: "Sigh... In short, it is very, very boring to think about it now.
You can see couples quarreling everywhere. When I saw this kind of plot in comics, I wouldn't believe that I would encounter it.
However, once I encounter this kind of thing, I really can’t control anything in my head, and my IQ plummets!”
