"Let me see the address, um... the Fourth Research Institute is located in... in Queenstown."
"It's quite a distance."
The girl, who had used the shady navigation app, looked at her location on the map and the distance to Queenstown, her pretty eyebrows slightly raised.
Should I fly there? Or should I just have the Primal Spirit give me another ride...?
Forget it, if this happens again, I might really get strangled by Dr. Mebius when I get back.
With a sigh, Jiang gave up the idea of taking a shortcut.
While it is indeed very interesting and convenient, this is, after all, not at sea but in New Zealand.
If the Honkai energy reaction of the Primordial Spirit or the Honkai energy fluctuations of the Herrscher were to leak here, the entire Oceania branch would probably be thrown into turmoil.
"Let's take a taxi there."
Jiang Qiao patted her head, snapped her fingers, and her swimsuit gradually disappeared, revealing the autumn jacket she had worn on the boat. Then, she stroked her chin, pondering a crucial question.
—I don't seem to have any money!
Although Alicia earns a decent salary as a warrior of the Fire Moth, she can't use that money in New Zealand.
We could trouble MEI to help resolve this issue.
but...
No signal one minute, then they go to ask for money the next...
I'm really going to get beaten up!
Just as Jiang was feeling somewhat troubled, his gaze was slowly drawn to the alley.
At that moment, a smile appeared on the pink-haired girl's lips.
—Looks a bit naughty.
...
As an international metropolis, the port is a very prosperous place.
Looking at Mei seeing her off, Kiana held her hand with a hint of reluctance:
"Mei, are you really not coming with us?"
Savoring it slowly... Hehehe, Mei smells so good, and her hands are so soft.
"Well, I still need to go to school, and someone has to look after the house, right?"
Mei calmly withdrew her hand from this dishonest behavior, creating some distance between them, with a somewhat forced smile on her face.
When she was refused, she felt her heart was bleeding, but even so, she couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted to go together.
I can only encourage and comfort myself with the thought of "keeping watch over the house."
"I will wait for you to come back here."
Suppressing a bittersweet feeling, the girl said this.
Alicia smiled, then looked at the raven beside her and said sincerely:
"Yes...we will definitely come back safely, Nata. Please take care of Mei while we are away."
—Miss Dodo does not intend to join this trip to New Zealand.
As mentioned earlier, she is a cadre of the World Serpent.
Alicia and Kiana, on the other hand, are doing something that goes against the World Serpent.
Helping them prepare boat tickets was the best the raven could do.
If I go with them, what if Gray Serpent turns against me and stabs me in the back? Based on my beliefs, in order to avoid being hunted down by World Serpent, I will definitely have no choice but to return to World Serpent's camp.
However, Raven was unwilling to stand on the opposite side of Alicia.
Therefore, she chose to stay.
However, Miss Dodo was somewhat speechless at Alicia's request.
"I'm not a nanny."
She muttered to herself, but seeing the other person's serious expression, she nodded and said, somewhat annoyed:
"Understood, I will take good care of this young lady."
Logically, she should only be responsible to that pink-clad thug.
After all, this was Gray Serpent's order.
There was no point in her staying after the hooligans ran away.
But since this was the other party's request, simply because they wanted to extend their vacation.
Miss Dodo chose to comply.
Anyway, she didn't lose out!
"Hey, don't die!"
As Alicia boarded the ship, she heard these words and turned to look at the raven staring at her—although such a way of showing affection was a bit too crude, it was the greatest care a mercenary who had been living on the edge of life and death for years could offer.
Having spent some time with Miss Dodo, Miss Fairy naturally understood what she meant, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"--Um."
Chapter 125 Reputation Continues to Decline
Compared to Jiang, who could quickly reach New Zealand by riding a ray, Alicia was not so free.
They had no choice but to obediently take the boat across—they couldn't even rely on fate or the help of anti-entropy.
If Rita, being an S-class Valkyrie, wanted to, she could use her connections to bring in a transport ship. However, if she used Schicksal's connections, it would definitely attract Otto's attention.
After all, Rita was his eyes and ears. Although thanks to Jiang's efforts, she had been largely turned to the side and would not actively reveal her whereabouts, it did not mean that Otto was so foolish as to not be able to find out.
If there were no prior connection, it would be fine, but the moment the Destiny's forces are mobilized, that bishop will likely take notice. At that point, not only will Alicia's [k423] body receive special attention, but the Atlantic branch will also become alert, potentially alarming Cocolia and the World Serpent.
Similarly, the relationship of reverse entropy is also the same.
If we alert them, given Gray Snake and Cocolia's cunning, it would be fine if they escaped, but if they were cornered, it wouldn't be surprising what they did in the end—after all, that vixen Cocolia has gone so far as to install Honkai energy reactors all over Changkong City and attempt to detonate them.
Therefore, they had to travel to New Zealand in a way that avoided the World Serpent and the vision of anti-entropy as much as possible.
"Mmm, so delicious~ It's so delicious~"
Although the cruise ship Ms. Dodo contacted wasn't exactly a luxury cruise, the company that dared to sail the route from the Far East to New Zealand despite extreme weather conditions must be quite capable.
At least in terms of food, Bai Maotuanzi, who was holding a chicken leg in one hand and a crab in the other, was eating to his heart's content.
His rugged appearance caused other passengers to murmur amongst themselves, saying things like, "Such a handsome young man, how come he looks like a reincarnated starving ghost?"
Even Kiana, who was standing next to the white-furred ball, saw her reputation continue to decline.
Because they were in cahoots, the white-furred monster's behavior was interpreted as "abuse".
"..."
The fairy, who was receiving this kind of treatment for the first time, propped her chin up and her face turned a little dark.
She puffed out her cheeks as she looked at Jiang Qiao, who was constantly trying to ruin her reputation. Although she felt a sense of satisfaction at getting revenge, she was mostly annoyed.
She clearly wanted to do the job of lowering Jiang Qiao's bad reputation herself!
The previous methods did not seem to be very effective.
Why...why are your results so obvious!
Besides feeling frustrated, there was also a sense of suffocation... This idiot's reputation for murdering not only extends to the wicked Jiang Qiao, but also to himself!
I'm so angry, Ellie! She can barely eat anymore!
Watching the fluffy little ball of food eat with increasing relish, the fat lady lost her appetite and took a big bite of the fries handed to her by the maid.
Mmm~ delicious.
The girl, who was feeding the white-haired girl, watched with a smile as she ate the fries, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
As expected of Lady Durandal's sister, even the way she eats is so adorable~
Moreover, if it were Lady Durandal, it would be impossible for me to play like this.
Ah... I wish Lady Durandal could be this compliant someday.
The maid, who was a sadist at heart, thought to herself, but her imagination had already set Durandal in eighteen different poses—but before that, perhaps she could try setting Kiana in eighteen different poses first.
Sensing the eager gaze, the fairy, who had been comfortably accepting the feeding play, felt a chill run down her spine, completely unaware of the danger lurking beneath her feet.
Subconsciously, Alicia distanced herself slightly from Rita before asking a question she was concerned about.
How long will it take us to get to New Zealand?
When asked a serious question, Rita fell into deep thought.
