The reflection of the stars swayed gently in the water, echoing the stars in the sky, making it impossible to distinguish the sky from the ground.

By the lake, Ranch and Sigrid didn't mind that the clock was close to the early hours of the morning, and they didn't care what day tomorrow was, they were still chatting freely.

"Huh? Don't you want to be too deeply associated with the Church of the Resurrection? ”

Sigrid looked at Ranch in surprise.

After all, her son was very different from the sons and daughters of other cardinals, and he didn't seem to be interested in the cardinal's position at all, but was simply working with her in his career.

"Although, I think that if you can become pope one day, it will definitely be better than other cardinals to become pope."

Lanch replied, his eyes full of approval,

"And I see that you really want to be the Deceptive Pope, then I will definitely help you."

“……”

Sigrid's dark purple eyes looked into Lanchi's eyes, and Lanchi didn't dodge, and there was silence between the two for a while.

“…… Since you have said so, then I will also try to become the Pope and give you the greatest protection. ”

Sigrid spoke in a slow, not at all like the tone of a bold statement, more like a promise.

"You can break the seal to protect me, and you don't have to be the Pope."

Ranch always felt that Sigrid had just made a terrible decision, so he said.

She suddenly improved the challenge goal, and the challenge goal and her own ability are the main factors affecting her own state, if the challenge goal is too high, it will produce anxiety or frustration; On the other hand, if the challenge goal is too low, you will get bored and lose interest.

Only when the challenge goal is balanced with one's own abilities can you enter the optimal state of full immersion.

As an educator, Ranch knows this.

Both he and Sigrid are the type who like to keep their goals as low as possible, preferring to be casual and Buddhist rather than anxious.

Ranchi prefers that Sigrid can live comfortably and happily without stress.

Sigrid, however, shook her head, as if sensing that Ranch had misunderstood her.

"You know what? If I had become stronger, the Papal authority would have become a divine object for me. ”

Sigrid asked with a serious look.

"What's the use of it?"

Ranch frowned, feeling that Sigrid was much more serious.

"Maybe it can be an opportunity for me to break through to the ninth order."

Sigrid said to Ranch.

"So what?"

Ranch asked again.

The eighth-order Sigrid and the ninth-order Sigrid are both strong and invincible to him, and they are nothing more than a little faster in the unit of combat power.

"That means I'm going to be the strongest woman in the world."

Sigrid said domineeringly and convincingly.

"Oh!"

Just as Ranchi's lips opened slightly, Sigrid raised his finger and pointed at Ranchi's eyebrows.

"You are not allowed to think of anything rude."

“……”

Before Ranch could say anything, Sigrid choked back on the words, so he could only close his mouth.

"But ......"

Sigrid continued, a soft voice dragging on.

"But what?"

Ranch looked at her in confusion.

She just smiled and didn't continue, leaving Lanch to guess what she wanted to say.

“……”

Boss Cat raised his head and looked at the two of them, and now his mood was quite complicated.

The moment it heard that Lanch made it clear that he didn't want to be a cardinal, its hanging heart finally relaxed.

However, when Lanch said that he was willing to continue to help Sigrid, he felt bad again.

It doesn't want to be a cat held by the Pope!

That's worth it!!

But...... Why...... I feel like these two people are ......

No, no, it's definitely not a Lancy party!

"No matter what the future holds, we still have to win it tomorrow."

Ranch stopped playing pantomime with Sigrid, looked at the surface of the lake, and muttered.

"Win or lose tomorrow, I believe in you."

Sigrid also looked at the lake and said.

"The more you listen to it, the more dangerous it becomes."

Ranchi frowned slightly.

"Why?"

Sigrid didn't know how dangerous her words were.

"You've probably read a lot of scripts in West Germany, right? Generally speaking, the more you say something, the more difficult it will be to achieve it before danger comes. ”

Ranch gestured and explained.

“……”

Sigrid seemed to understand a little, and then pulled back the smile on the corner of her mouth and stared at Rankie,

"I still don't understand, can you give me an example?"

Sigrid blinked and asked.

"Alas, there should be a similar episode in the Chronicle of the Holy War."

Ranch sighed,

"For example, at this time, I suddenly said coldly, please date me when everything is over tomorrow, this kind of line is usually going to have an accident, do you feel very scared?"

Lanch picked one of the least dangerous lines for example.

"No, I would be glad that my Son was so great that he dared to ask the bishop to date him. Then promise to go on a date with you. ”

Sigrid replied with approval in her eyes.

After saying that, she didn't seem to hold back a sly smile, and chuckled twice.

“…… Did you deliberately lie to me about this kind of line? ”

Ranch observes Sigrid in confusion, and he always feels like Sigrid is fishing.

"This is the reward for having a high opinion rating, if the opinion is not enough, you will only be glanced at by me."

Sigrid explained to Ranch in a serious manner, and the look in his eyes seemed to tell him that he had always asked himself with disdain before, what was the use of having a high level of favorability, and now he showed it to him.

"Why isn't this game over yet?"

Ranch was stunned, he and Sigrid had been playing the game since they set off for the north of the Protos Empire.

I thought that Sigrid was tired of playing and hadn't mentioned it to him for a long time, but Sigrid brought it up again.

"Because I'm a West Germany now, a fifth-order West Germany, if you don't turn me back to the eighth order, I can only be a West Germany."

Sigrid swayed from side to side on her upper body, looking playful, not at all like a cardinal.

Hearing this, Lan Qi glanced at her with a smile, obviously waiting for dawn would be a crucial test of life and death for her, but she didn't seem to be afraid at all.

Then Ranch looked at the stars again.

Maybe a lot will happen tomorrow, maybe there will be less in the night sky today, and of course it is possible to look back on today many years later and it will be a very good day.

Ranch has always been optimistic and will not worry about what will happen tomorrow or later.

Now, the most important thing is only now.

The only thing to know right now is to-

It's time to draw an end to his trip to the North Continent.
