Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 19 Forming an Alliance

A second before Reins snuggled into a chair, Ella turned it into a long, soft couch, and Lillian sat down next to her, placing the sleeping Elianne between them. Shuka and Imi sat on the armrests at either end of the couch, their guns still firmly in their hands. The twins, seemingly distracted by the lack of toys, sat on the ground in front of Rhines and Lillian and played with rock-paper-scissors. Ella resentfully led Bora in the direction of the head of the family, and began to discuss their alliance.

Someone stood in front of the Fili, and Reins raised her eyes, where the black-haired woman was smiling.

"Can I sit down?"

Reins thought for a second, then patted the couch with her left hand—to her right were Elianne and Lillian.

"Please."

"Thank you." Hua Shao sat down naturally, "Actually, I have some questions that I want to be curious about. ”

"I believe that your curiosity is never purely for your own curiosity." Rheinsy said, "But...... Hurry up and finish asking. ”

"I heard you say that you were once thrown into the snake pit of the Moto Snake." Hua Shao's voice sounded a little nervous, "What happened then?" ”

"Well, literally. As for who did it and why, I don't want to say it now. I'll not think about that until we're really done with the alliance and we trust each other. ”

"So...... Socilia Lauren, did something just happen? Hua Shao changed the topic with kindness, "Since she can hide it for ten years...... It doesn't make sense to say everything so quickly. ”

Reins understood what she meant, and was a little surprised by her acuity and courage - even if people were aware of this, they would not directly ask the person "Did you do something?"

"Naturally...... "Ah...... I'd rather you asked this question in private, not in front of the guys...... I just used a little trick to get her to get the words out of her heart. ”

Fillies looked at her in unison for a moment.

"While your core hasn't recovered?" Lillian said sarcastically, "You should be thankful that Elianne was still asleep and didn't hear what you did." ”

"Sister Rhine will undoubtedly be controlled by the angry Ellie for a long time."

"Angry Eli, who is even more terrible than the black Ellie!"

"Oh, that's enough." Reins covered her head, "You are not allowed to tell Ellie about this - whoever dares to say it will be thrown into his own most hated commission!" ”

However, even Hua Shao frowned.

"That method hurt your body? Will there be any serious consequences? ”

"No, this lady, there are no serious consequences, just that the period for which she will not be able to use magic will be extended again." Lillian smirked, "I can't imagine this being done by someone who mocks me every day for being a fool." ”

"Shut up, Leanne." Reins bared her teeth menacingly, "Even if I do this kind of thing just to be lazy, the result will be good for you, don't you have the consciousness of being soft-hearted?" ”

Lillian sneered and made a rude gesture to her.

"I'll never feel sorry for you, you sinister fellow."

"That's great, if I see you know how to be polite one day, maybe my hairs will all stand upside down, right?"

"You bastard......"

"Fools don't have the right to say anything......"

Two women in their early 20s began to quarrel like children, Hua Shao next to him was rather dumbfounded, and the twins snickered.

"Sister Rhein and the stupid Leanne—"

"Once a day—"

"Childish bickering!"

The twins jumped up happily and ran up to Ella and Bora, causing quite a bit of chaos. Hua Shao covered her mouth and smiled, and Reins and Lilian glared at her together.

"Oh...... I'm sorry. Hua Shao coughed lightly a few times, trying to retract his smile, "You know, your relationship looks good-"

"Not at all."

The two of them finished speaking in unison, glaring at each other, and then turning their heads out at the same time.

"Don't you need to be part of their conversation?" Reins asked Hua Shao, "Philip's foreign affairs are all entrusted to Ella, but you Morfi?" ”

"I'm just a thinker who is good at making suggestions, and of course the big decisions are made by the leaders." Hua Shao said innocently, "I will only do my duty - make suggestions, check for loopholes, and follow the decisions of the leaders." That's all. ”

"I think the chiefs of Murphy must have a different opinion on this."

"I don't really understand what you're talking about, do I?" Hua Shao smiled, "By the way, when I was on the spaceship before, I already told Apaya about those things. ”

Reins froze for a moment, then shrunk herself into the couch with one hand over her eyes.

"Looks like you're not going to let me catch up on sleep for a while, are you?" She grumbled, "So you slipped into that elm's head what it took even a little magician to understand?" I think your Mr. Engineer must have died in his head. ”

"So I told him to go back to his studio and let him think for himself." Hua Shao looked at Reins thoughtfully, "You don't really want to talk to Apaya now?" ”

"Obviously."

"Because what he did hurt you before?"

Reins narrowed her eyes.

"I think, although I refuse to admit it, I've been a little too gentle with you because of my blood relationship, and I've made you a little bit more advanced, right?" Reins pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction.

"Ignore her, she's just a cunning coward who is good at escaping reality and stress." Lillian savagely mixed the subject, "She's just afraid that your engineer's reaction will make her more uncomfortable—"

Lilian relied on her strength to be higher than the current Rheins, and held her down as she wanted to refute.

"But of course, I don't think the engineer deserves a channel to help him find out." Lillian smiled dangerously, "So, if you're his friend, then I'll give you a piece of advice - let him find a way to curry favor with Rhine himself, otherwise it won't be enough to show his sincerity." ”

"Leanne—"

Reins gritted her teeth and whispered a threat, but Lillian remained unmoved.

"Anyway, you go tell the engineer, we still have our own words to talk about, it's not convenient for you to be here."

Urged by Lilian, Hua Shao left with a strange smile. Reins looked at Lillian angrily.

"Leanne, what the hell do you want to do-"

"She's your sister." Lillian said crisply, "Even if you're always stubborn that you shouldn't think about anything else until we're happy, the rest of us think you should take what you deserve - oh yes, don't make me say that a second time, I feel disgusting." ”

"And how do you explain the other one—"

"In the same way, if we can do something to get it, why don't we go for it?" Lillian looked very reasonable, "If you don't tell him what to do, how will he know?" If you tell him he still can't do it, then you can kick him aside and never see him again. ”

Reins pressed her forehead with a headache.

"What do you think we're in your barren brain?"

"Isn't it obvious? He's your partner candidate. ”

"......" Reins couldn't help but roll her eyes, "so you're telling me about your treatment of Ganillo?" ”

"No, of course...... Well, maybe a little? Lillian said uncertainly, "You know, I was so young at that time, it's been ten years, and you want to say that I still like him?" It's a bit hard. Unless he pursues me again and finds a way to make me like him, and I can get Ellie to help him, I don't want to get involved with him anymore. ”

Shuka and Imi, who were listening from the side, silently mourned in advance in their hearts for the first student who was obviously unforgettable.

“…… Well, our alliance treaty can be sure that this is all for sure. Ella swiped her cigarette stick and said, "I can't promise you that one condition will be met, but I think you can easily get her to nod unless you provoke Rhine for a few seconds." ”

"Naturally, now that both you and I are committed to the success of the alliance, we certainly won't do anything to ruin this." Huck nodded, "In that case, please Miss Ella communicate with Lord Reins, and then we can sign this agreement." ”

"Don't forget our sweets!"

"And the amusement park!"

The twins scrambled to speak, and Ella finally gave the two of them a shudder.

"I'm sorry, my children are usually overused and not well-educated." Ella apologized and asked Bora to pull the twins away, "I'll go talk to Rhine now, and you can also consider starting to contact the people in the church." ”

The two adults walked back to their companions with the two children in their arms, and the treaty that had been drawn up—although such a thing should normally be thought about, it was clear that the leaders of both sides were more interested in the conclusion of the covenant.

Reins took the treaty and skimmed through it with Lillian.

"What, the families want us to move to the base in Morfi?" Reins raised an eyebrow, "That's a surprising request—they want an alliance that goes far beyond the need for cooperation on some special occasion. ”

"Although I was a little surprised at the time, I thought about it more than the disadvantages." Ella tapped her cigarette stick gently, "If the two parties want to live together for a long time, friction is essential. But it is much better to run in at this time than to run in on the battlefield in the future against those people - if we still fight separately in battle, this will lose the meaning of our alliance. ”

Reins lifted her chin.

"Go on."

"And I think the fortifications at the Murphy base are pretty good." Ella touched her chin and said, "It's going to save us a lot of things." We're definitely going to have to add some defensive barriers to magic on top of that, but it's a lot safer than our previous location. At least if we encounter danger, we can have plenty of time to rest internally and think about countermeasures. And they will give us a separate base in Morfi's territory in the same way as they are now, in the model of a separate small base for each family. This ensures the convenience of information exchange and at the same time has our own independent space. The only disadvantage is negligible in comparison. ”

"Looks like you're in favor of that."

"Of course. Stationed at the Murfi base, all the food, clothing, housing and transportation do not need to be paid for by us. Ella blinked, "Most importantly, I think this is your chance for you and Leanne - in marriage." ”
