The appearance of a girl with fox ears clasping her hands on her knees and squatting on the ground and crying is indeed distressing, but bringing back to the secret base may cause some unnecessary disputes, which makes Koichiro a little embarrassed.

"Lord Ernist, she said please help her find the only very important companion, the others will not cause you trouble," Lulu kindly defended the fox girl.

Koichiro thought for a moment, "At this point in time, it's really forcing people to make a quick decision. ’

That is, knowing that the other party may have no malice, but nowhere to go, and he has no obligation to take the other party in. ’

At this time, the girl with fox ears stood up silently, wiped the tears that kept welling up in her eyes with her hand, and then bowed her head and turned away, "Thank you, Your Excellency, Xia will not bother." ”

'When I first communicated with Lulu, I still used the language of beasts, did she know human speech in a short period of time? Could it be a highly gifted fox clan? 'Ryiichiro was amazed at the talent of the races in this world.

But even so......

"yes, okay." Koichiro nodded, "That's the best, let's put the finishing touches on the reinforcements." ’

So the two of them were driving away.

Xia, who turned to leave in front of her, but she only walked a few steps, and she was dizzy because of her physical exhaustion, and fell straight to the side of the road, after all, she was locked in a narrow black cage every day, without food, and had to be whipped and even do some heavy work.

"Ahh......h

Seeing this scene, Koichiro had a headache, so he had to jump out of the car to check on Thea's status.

You can't just walk away, it's so guilty to leave such a girl in the slums at night." ’

"Huh? Lord Ernest, she ......" Lulu pointed to a figure on the ground not far away.

Hanichiro pulled open Thea's sleeves, and there were ugly whip marks on it, and even scabs and blood were mixed together, his face was sallow, and he was skinny because he had lived a life without a meal all year round.

'There's no way, take it back and let Itina heal, put her in the tavern, Lilith shouldn't mind.' ’

"Okay, let's take her back." Koichiro said.

"Lord Ernest has followed the rules of goodness in his heart." Lulu happily helped Thea to the snow wolf's cart.

"Say a word first, and leave when she's recovered." Koichiro finally relented.

Lilith didn't seem to have any reaction to bringing one more girl back, and agreed directly, because she was good at disguising her instinct for assassination, so that she could quickly feel the bloody and murderous aura on the other party's body, and the aura on Xia's body was very clean and pure.

"Take it back and keep it in the tavern, it just so happens that the tavern is short of people to take care of the business, if she knows how to keep accounts." Lilith said.

This is also exactly what Nichiro means by Koichiro.

So the five of them were carried back to the Blood Oath by the bone dragon.

——————————————

On the day of her return, Lilith confessed that Itina had healed Thea as the only healer of the Blood Oath, and returned to the castle lobby and flipped over the map of another world hanging in the central hall, with an image of a character on the back and an X heavily marked on it.

That's a portrait of Richard! ’

It turns out that this is how Lilith recorded the Empire's plan to purge the wicked. ’

When Koichiro walked in, he saw as many as ten assassination portraits pasted on the back of the world map of Teyvat, and the most eye-catching portrait in the middle, with some knowledge of the original owner's life situation, Koichiro immediately thought that it was the culprit who wanted to put him and Love to death that day.

"So she's Cialidus Campbell." With his hand, Koichiro dotted a black-and-white portrait of Cilides' coming-of-age scene with thick red hair like seaweed, and drew a circle on Cilides' head.

"Well, Your Excellency has a long way to go." Lilith said.

"Lilith, did I make this plan? I've been injured before, and I'm missing part of my memory. ”

"It was indeed done by Lord Ernest."

"Now, there's still a year to change, right?" Koichiro said that he had seen in Love's prophecy that it was indeed a year later that on this day, it would be time for all the members to destroy the engine.

'The death omen star is shining in my head, and I only have one year left to change my destiny and do my best. ’

But Lilith was puzzled, "A year of change? ”

"Oh no, it's nothing, just try to get them all done within a year." Koichiro diverted the topic and signaled that he was talking about the target of the assassination on the portrait.

"It would be best if it could be so fast."

Lilith seemed to feel some comfort in her heart when she saw that Hanichiro was very confident in his plan, "In this way, I will be able to fulfill Lord Ernest's wish as soon as possible." ’

At this time, Koichiro was curious about Lilith's attitude, and more because he felt that Lilith, who was mysteriously going out at night, had an unknown secret, "Lilith, why did you join the blood oath?" ”

"This ...... I'll let you know when I have a chance to do so. I went back to my room to rest. ”

Lilith politely rejected Hangichiro's question, nodded respectfully, and left with grace.

Hangichiro was a little suspicious, "Heh, the secret will be hidden one day, maybe he doesn't want to talk about his life experience." ’

But he didn't expect how self-deceptive his thoughts were now.

"It's time to put away the black orb you brought back and go to rest too."

With that in mind, Koichiro took the orb to the basement, where Love was, where the spirit aura was the strongest, and even the members of the Blood Oath didn't bother much, so it was a good hiding spot.

After completing the first assassination mission in another world, Koichiro slept well in another world for the first time, and had a good dream that Lovew woke up, "In the future, in order to sleep peacefully, I will clean up all the rebellious lackeys of the Gaia Brand Empire!" ’

——————————————

The next day.

on the dining table.

"I really can't figure out why girls are so easy to get angry and hold grudges," since the last night when she scared Itina who pushed the door in, Itina would automatically ignore Koichiro every time she woke everyone up.

So much so that even a breakfast Itina asked the maid to omit his share, because Lord Ernest didn't need breakfast.

"Anyway, he's also the son of a nobleman, how can he get the treatment of getting up late for breakfast and even having no scum......" Koichiro has a headache for this kind of behavior of making small moves in private, but he can't be angry with girls because of these little things.

"If you don't eat, don't eat, it's just breakfast." Anyway, in reality, when I was in the morning class, Hangichiro-kun didn't care about things like breakfast.

"Your Excellency Ernest, here you are~ I'm afraid you're hungry." Lulu quietly handed over a red bean pie.

Suddenly, this was a bit touching......

But 'Why is there a tooth mark on this red bean pie?' Koichiro held the pie that looked like it had been bitten and was puzzled, "This can't be Ashley's leftovers." ’

In the next sentence, Lulu, who was naturally stupid, had a heart attack.

"Brother said this is the most unpalatable ......," Lulu said with an innocent expression.

Yes!!!
