"What's her situation?"
Miss i, completely bewildered as to why the girl who was hunting them down yesterday was now standing before her, felt like she had beco a relentless confusion machine these past two days.
"Bronya was following Cocolia and conducting experints with the goal of finding her younger sister, Seele."
The young man, who had quite easily secured Miss Banya's allegiance, smiled and explained.
"Cocolia's experints are highly dangerous, and it's very difficult to rescue Seele from the Sea of Quanta. I, on the other hand, have a more reliable thod."
"So, she ca to defect to ."
"Bronya is currently working to earn assistance through her labor," the Sanwu girl also spoke, stating her intentions.
Listening to Li Zihan and Bronya's words, Miss i was stunned.
Who is Seele? And what on earth is the Sea of Quanta?
However, Miss Rice Cooker was, after all, an honor student. Not knowing these two terms didn't hinder her understanding of Li Zihan's aning.
In short, the girl nad Bronya had been involved in forbidden experints with her adoptive mother only because she wanted to rescue her younger sister, who was imprisoned in so special location.
Now, she had learned that Cocolia's experints were unreliable, unsafe, and incredibly destructive, so she had abandoned her adoptive mother and sided with the person who had a higher chance of rescuing Seele.
"I sohow feel that Mr. Li is a truly remarkable person," Raiden i muttered.
This guy knows way too much, doesn't he?
"For a janitor who can do a split in mid-air, knowing these things is just standard procedure."
The young man, whose knowledge was indeed incredibly vast for soone in this world called Honkai, shrugged and said.
"Well then, Boss, what is the task you wish to assign?"
Miss Banya, now working part-ti, looked towards Li Zihan and asked softly.
"Just hack into the prison's network and assist in rescuing Raiden Ryoma."
The young man, who had promised to help Raiden i rescue Raiden Ryoma next, said.
Hearing these words, Bronya didn't answer imdiately but looked at Li Zihan with a rather peculiar expression.
Judging from last night's battle, this guy only needed to confirm Raiden Ryoma's location and he could teleport him out of prison in an instant.
This guy doesn't need my help at all.
Why is this?
Bronya's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her gaze becoming sowhat uncertain.
She didn't think Li Zihan was the type to waste ti on such unnecessary steps.
It couldn't possibly be a simple gesture of goodwill, could it?
Even Bronya herself found this thought a bit laughable. What did she possess that was worthy of his goodwill?
Before she could figure out the reason, the young man's clear voice sounded beside her ear, interrupting her train of thought.
"As paynt for this trip, I will tell you how to release soone from a quantum state."
The young man, who could locate Raiden Ryoma by simply deploying so familiars and then extract him from prison by expending so magical energy, smiled.
"Are you willing to accept my commission?"
"Mm."
Although she wasn't quite sure why Li Zihan was making this extra effort, Miss Banya, who was indeed in dire need of correct information, nodded.
She truly needed intelligence support from Li Zihan.
Even if this guy, who seed to have lolicon tendencies, proposed so excessive tasks, she could only grit her teeth and agree.
As for whether rescuing Raiden Ryoma would cause trouble for Cocolia, that was completely outside her consideration.
"Then, let's set off."
The young man, who next planned to contact either the Anti-Entropy conservatives or Theresa through Raiden Ryoma or Kiana, then reach out to Welt and unearth Jizo Mitama, wore a cheerful expression.
With the Key of Erosion—Jizo Mitama, he could potentially achieve so great things.
The benefits gained from this trip might be far greater than those from fighting a Holy Grail War.
The magus, who had originally planned to transplant Artoria's Red Dragon Heart, then ask Karna to transfer his Spirit Origin into his own body to suppress Artoria's will that might reside within the heart, and transform himself into a Pseudo-Servant, was in high spirits.
Even if he couldn't make it back in ti for the Fourth Holy Grail War, it would be worth it.
Thinking this, the young man pushed open the door and walked out of the room with his newly recruited secretary and Miss Rice Cooker, heading towards the garage.
========Dividing Line========
In the taxi heading towards Nagazora City, the driver glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror.
There, a girl whose beauty possessed a maturity beyond her age sat beside a petite girl with delicate features like a French doll.
"Sir custor, who is that sitting next to your wife?" the driver, suddenly noticing an extra passenger compared to yesterday, asked the young man in the front passenger seat.
"She's my little sister-in-law," the young man, a first-class bullshitter, spouted nonsense about her origins without batting an eye.
"My father-in-law is currently deep in prison, the Raiden family has fallen on hard tis, so Bronya followed us here, hoping I could go back and lend a hand."
The driver's expression was very confused.
It was known that the custor's wife's surna was Raiden, and her first na, i, was also a normal Far Eastern style.
So, why was his little sister-in-law's na Bronya?
That sounded like a na soone from the Siberian region would have!
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask about this illogical point.
"Snap—!"
Before Mr. Driver could utter a sound, a finger snap echoed.
When in doubt, hypnosis magecraft.
"Oh, so that's how it is?"
Mr. Driver, now influenced to believe Bronya was Raiden i's sister, nodded with an expression of "I get it now."
If he didn't need to keep his hands on the steering wheel for driving, he would definitely have made a set of gestures that the people of the Beacon Country would find familiar.
"Having such a philandering father, you two young ladies must have had it rough."
Under the effect of the suggestion magecraft, this fellow had probably concocted a lodramatic backstory where Bronya was the product of Mr. Raiden Ryoma's one-night stand with a foreign woman.
Raiden Ryoma's reputation suffers.jpg.
"Who knows, maybe I have other little sisters-in-law or similar characters out there."
The young man, feeling that the situation the driver had imagined seed quite interesting, rcilessly persecuted the reputation of the man called "father-in-law" by countless janitors.
"If there are, I hope they're cute, clingy, and beautiful girls, like Ragdoll cats."
The young man, his thoughts mostly occupied with several of the world's top figures, gazed at the receding scenery outside the window, speaking intermittently.
The urban area of Nagazora City was already close at hand.
If there were no accidents, they should be back in the city soon to carry out their plans.
A faint, light smile appeared on the corners of Li Zihan's lips.
Then, his smile suddenly froze.
A baseball bat abruptly flew from a distance, like a projectile shot from a cannon, smashing towards his face.
