Chapter 236

General Feixiao: "This last time, who knows if it will be something big?"

General Feixiao: "I can only say that people who write such scripts are usually crazy."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Heh, it's called a script, but in my opinion, it's more like a riddle."

Boothill: "Damn it, I hate riddle-makers the most!"

Stelle: "Silver Wolf, tell me honestly, what is the ending of this script?"

Silver Wolf: "You're asking me?"

Silver Wolf: "Unfortunately, Elio's scripts are always short and punchy."

Silver Wolf: "Before things actually happen, no one knows the true ending."

Silver Wolf: "Maybe it's good, maybe it's bad."

Silver Wolf: "It depends on... the choice of the person involved!"

Acheron: "Choice, huh?"

Acheron: "In other words... even Elio, who can see a corner of the future, cannot assert that it is a fixed future."

Acheron: "Heh... it seems he is also doing his best to fight against fate..."

Welt: "Hmm... I have some realization."

Welt: "Elio's script probably only serves as a guiding role."

Welt: "If too much is written, it will limit the infinite possibilities of the future."

Welt: "This is what he doesn't want to see."

March 7th: "In other words, the result of Miss Firefly's last death is really hard to say?"

March 7th: "Woooo... please! It must be a good result!!"

The video continues.

【You might not know you have a bad habit: whenever you use an interrogative tone, you've actually already made up your mind, and no one can persuade you otherwise.】

【Forget it, Kafka asked me to bring a message: if you see anything good in Penacony, help me bring one back, just swipe my card, you know the password.】

【She didn't specify, I guess it's a dress, a coat, or sunglasses or something... anyway, you know better than me, you guys are always talking about these fashion topics.】

Silver Wolf relayed Kafka's words to Firefly.

【Okay, I'll keep an eye out.】

【Oti Mall has many choices, do you think she would like pretty little decorations, like... hair accessories and brooches?】

Firefly asked after thinking for a while.

【Hmm... sounds more suitable for a little girl, you should keep it for yourself.】

【Oh, also, Blade told you to be careful.】

【He didn't say it explicitly, but that's mostly what he meant—in Penacony, temptation will appear again—he really speaks very implicitly.】

Firefly: "Haha, Silver Wolf mimicking Blade, she's really like him."

Silver Wolf: "Blade's speech is just hard to understand."

Silver Wolf: "Might as well rename him 'Riddle Blade'."

Blade: "..."

Blade: "I am not speaking in riddles."

Blade: "You can understand what I mean."

Stelle: "Oh? What kind of riddles does Blade usually say?"

Silver Wolf: "There are too many."

Silver Wolf: "He used to always say things like—there are five people, there are three costs... so-and-so, you are not one of them, etc."

Silver Wolf: "How about it? Does it give people a feeling of being mysterious?"

Dan Heng: "..."

Lumine: "Uh... it really does a little bit."

The video continues.

【It's okay, he's just being kind.】

【Don't worry, Silver Wolf, you know me.】

【I won't do anything, I just want to walk, use my own legs, and feel this world more.】

【I want to buy an Oak Cake Roll, during my days in Penacony, I eat one cake roll every day, from the first day to the last day.】

【But today I can buy two, and share half with you.】

【If you don't like it, I can enjoy double the happiness.】

【Or I can bring it to Kafka, she never refuses, or... to Blade, he will like it.】

【Ha... there won't be these in the script, right? But look...】

【I have already added a new footnote to fate.】

Furina: "Miss Firefly cannot defy the script..."

Furina: "But before the scene described in the script arrives, she can choose the way of life she wants!"

Paimon: "So... this is choice?"

Paimon: "Hmm... Paimon suddenly feels like she understands a lot."

Dr. Ratio: "A very positive life attitude."

Dr. Ratio: "Worth affirming!"

The video continues.

The scene shifts,

arriving at the Radiant Feldspar at this moment.

At this time,

Topaz is talking to the company employee Thomas.

【You're here, Director Topaz!】

【The Family representative is still preparing inside, and the big boss hasn't arrived yet—it'll probably be a while before the meeting starts.】

Thomas sees Topaz arrive,

and greets her enthusiastically.

【Whoa, this display, the Family's superficial work is quite sufficient.】

【I thought they would choose a more low-key, more formal place to talk, I didn't expect them to find a luxury airship...】

Topaz looks around,

clicking her tongue in wonder.

Stelle: "Oh? The company is really going to start negotiating with the Family."

Stelle: "But why did they only send Topaz?"

March 7th: "Miss Jade seems to still be on the way?"

March 7th: "By the way, who is the big boss the employee mentioned?"

Topaz: "The big boss he mentioned is Miss Jade."

Topaz: "But Miss Jade doesn't really like this title."

Furina: "Wow, is this the Radiant Feldspar?"

Furina: "It's really very luxurious!"

Paimon: "Is that big pool full of bubbles in the back a swimming pool?"

Paimon: "Looks like fun."

Miss Qingque: "By the way, why is this employee of your company so old?"

Miss Qingque: "Why didn't they send someone younger?"

Guinaifen: "Perhaps such old employees are more reliable in handling things."

Welt: "The Family setting the negotiation location on such a luxurious airship is really quite ostentatious."

Welt: "Could it be that they intend to bluff and seize the initiative?"

Lumine: "Yeah... with such a big thing happening, if it were someone else, they would probably try their best to keep a low profile, right?"

Lumine: "But the Family is not only not worried at all, but they even put on such a big show."

Dr. Ratio: "Heh, advancing by retreating, it can be considered a bit of a tactic."

Jade: "This move really looks like the style of that old thing."

Jade: "It's just a pity that his act might scare others."

Jade: "For the Corporation, it's useless."

The video continues.

【That... Director, I asked around before: I heard that this Radiant Feldspar is the property of the Alfalfa Family.】

【The meeting between the Corporation and the Family this time will directly affect the future development of Penacony.】

【Logically speaking, such an important matter should be discussed in... in... oh right, in a secret meeting at Dewlight Pavilion.】

【But the atmosphere right now... tsk, it doesn't look serious at all.】

Thomas told the information he had gathered,

to Topaz.

【Oh...】

【It seems that this meeting is probably just an appetizer.】

【The person who organized this meeting—whoever it is—probably just wants to probe the Corporation's stance in advance.】

【This big shot either has their own ambition and wants to reach some consensus with us in advance; or they intend to give us a warning to make us retreat.】

March 7th: "Probing before the formal consultation?"

March 7th: "Have they already started fighting?"

March 7th: "It really is like a battlefield in the business world..."

Himeko: "Since this Radiant Feldspar is the property of the Alfalfa Family."

Himeko: "Then it seems that the one currently holding the power in Penacony is the head of the Alfalfa Family, right?"

Stelle: "The Alfalfa Family seems to be in charge of Penacony's economy?"

Stelle: "So the head of this family, isn't that a black-hearted capitalist?"

Furina: "Uh... Penacony falling into the hands of such a person, will the future really be good?"

Hu Tao: "It's not necessarily true that it will fall into the hands of the Alfalfa Family head, after all, the Corporation is not a pushover."

The video continues.

【Oh my, as expected of Director Topaz, your mind is really clear!】

【When the big boss comes, you should also remind her to be careful, beware of the other party digging a hole...】

Thomas listened to Topaz's analysis,

and immediately applauded,

and flattered her a little.

【Hahaha, thank you for your kind reminder, I think it's unnecessary.】

【Sitting at the same negotiating table as that lady, the one who should be careful is always someone else~】

【Tell everyone in the group, just guard your own posts, don't worry about the negotiations.】

Topaz instructed Thomas.

【Oh... understood, I'll go convey it.】

Thomas nodded.

【Oh right, one more thing—】

【—don't call her big boss in front of Miss Jade, it will cost lives~ I'm not joking.】

Paimon: "So... so scary!!"

Paimon: "Calling the wrong title will cost lives?!"

Lumine: "Is the Corporation's hierarchy so strict?"

Topaz: "Ha, just scaring him."

Topaz: "Otherwise, how can he remember?"

Stelle: "This old guy's flattery skills are first-class."

March 7th: "Having worked in the Corporation for so long, he must be a master of people!"

Miss Qingque: "Hey, in the workplace, flattery is a basic essential skill!"

Miss Qingque: "And the knowledge in this is huge!"

Furina: "It seems Miss Miss Qingque has a lot of experience in this."

Stelle: "Master Qing, hurry up and write a book to teach us."

Stelle: "Let us learn your flattery skills."

Fu Xuan: "Miss Qingque, this seat advises you not to neglect your proper work, otherwise don't blame me for fixing you!"

Miss Qingque: "How could that be!"

Miss Qingque: "I, Miss Qingque, am the most down-to-earth!"

Stelle: "Sigh... I miss the unruly and spirited President Qing from back then..."

The video continues.

【K-K-Known!】

【Thank you for the reminder, Director!】

Thomas was startled,

hurriedly thanked Topaz,

and then hurriedly left.

Seeing this, Topaz began to walk forward,

preparing to wait at the negotiation venue.

【The big shots haven't arrived yet... it seems there's still a while before the talks start.】

【It's quite lively around here, let's walk around.】

Topaz took the elevator to the lower level,

and found no trace of the big shots,

so she prepared to walk around to kill time.

【So many buttons... if I press them one by one, I'll be busy until the year of the monkey...】

【I didn't expect these little puppies to be quite capable, they actually recovered them all...】

As Topaz walked,

she saw a Hound guard squatting on the ground,

muttering to himself.

【Hmph? Hmph...】

Numby, who was following Topaz,

snorted twice at this time, as if feeling that this person was a bit wrong.

March 7th: "These familiar buttons..."

March 7th: "Sparkle, it's you again, right?"

March 7th: "You really are unimpeded, even the Radiant Feldspar can be mixed into."

Furina: "Miss Sparkle seems to be muttering that the Hounds have confiscated the bomb buttons she distributed?"

Furina: "So she is worrying about how to activate so many buttons one by one??"

Stelle: "Pfft!!"

Stelle: "I'm dying of laughter!"

Stelle: "Director Sparkle, you're not doing well!"

Stelle: "Are you here to be funny?"

Sparkle: "Eh??"

Sparkle: "Are the little puppies of the Hound Family that capable?"

Sparkle: "They actually recovered all the little gifts that Sparkle worked so hard to distribute?"

Sparkle: "But it doesn't matter, this can't stump me~"

Hu Tao: "Uh... do you want to press them one by one yourself?"

Hu Tao: "Wouldn't that tire you to death?"
