"It suits you well, that outfit."
The first words that Murasame Reine heard as she followed Arthas into the restroom were these.
"I didn't realize that Mr. Arthas was that kind of person."
Murasame Reine still spoke with the same monotonous intonation, without any ups and downs. The girl had a hazy look, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.
"Mm, that description might not be entirely accurate. I'm not human, you know."
Arthas said this with a smile, and Reine fell into silence.
"As I thought... You're the most dangerous one. What exactly is your true purpose?"
"Well... rest assured, at least I won't destroy the world. I'm not interested in things like killing, arson, rape, and pillage. I merely... want to find what belongs to me."
"Find... what belongs to you?"
Reine was slightly stunned, unable to understand the meaning in Arthas's words. At that moment, the latter took a step forward, gently taking the girl's hand and placing it on his chest.
"Do you know... I'm incomplete. I'm missing something, and I merely want to find those things back."
Arthas said this, and Murasame Reine raised her eyebrows slightly, then spoke very rudely:
"If you're trying to find your heart, then you might have the wrong person. And I'm not a little girl, I'm not that easy to fool. Your methods are too old-fashioned."
Murasame Reine said this, making Arthas couldn't help but laugh.
There was a reason why he would say such things to Murasame Reine, because he sensed a strange aura on the girl before him, who was sickly and exhausted.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if the girl before him was a part of his own existence.
The same feeling was also present in Tohka, Itsuka Shiori, Itsuka Kotori, and even that Origami Tobiichi.
Originally, Arthas thought that the Spirits were his only goal, but these girls with different identities made him feel confused.
Why did he also feel the same feeling in them? And some were even stronger than the feeling in Tohka.
Arthas couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He had already made a decision to start with Tohka first, and then slowly capture these girls.
But capturing Tohka was much easier than he had imagined. It seemed that not only did he have that kind of feeling, but Tohka and the others also had it.
But what was somewhat off was that the Itsuka sisters, Origami Tobiichi, and Murasame Reine were completely different from Tohka's attitude. YOrigami Tobiichi even directly hated him.
Was it simply because Tohka was an idiot? Although it was rude to think that way, Arthas felt that it seemed to be the reason.
Tohka really didn't have any scheming, so that's why she trusted him so easily, right?
"Let's continue with the date. We'll assist you. The top priority now is to capture Tohka, right?"
After saying this, Murasame Reine left the restroom, leaving Arthas alone. The latter shook his head lightly, and then also walked out, leaving the coffee shop.
"Haha, everything is proceeding according to plan." Looking at Murasame Reine returning to 'Fraxinus', Kotori, as the commander, said with a smile.
"Good work, Reine."
"It's nothing... But wearing this kind of maid outfit is really uncomfortable." Reine sighed, roughly lifting the pleated hem of the uniform, saying in a monotonous tone.
"Be careful, you'll show too much." Kotori rolled her eyes at Reine, "Let's start the plan now."
"Understood, Commander!"
That's right, what Kotori and Reine were executing at this moment was Operation Code F-08, an operation plan with the operation name of 'Tengu's Holiday'.
For 'Ratatoskr', considering various unexpected situations, there were many useful operation plans, and this was just one of them.
This was a super plan to have all the members of 'Fraxinus' disguise themselves as ordinary residents and then secretly provide support for the three's date at any time, so every crew member had undergone a month-long training.
"Haha, actually, maid outfits are very cute. They're very attractive to men." Kotori said, licking a lollipop while taking out her phone.
"Really?" Hearing Kotori's words, Reine couldn't help but tilt her head, thinking of her conversation with Arthas.
What exactly did that guy mean? Did he really have a crush on her?
Reine wasn't a naive little girl, she wouldn't be fooled by sweet talk.
She couldn't see through that man, so she didn't think that he was really trying to hit on her when he suddenly said those things to her.
"Who knows?" Kotori shrugged nonchalantly, and then answered the phone, starting to give the crew all kinds of instructions and orders.
"Actually, the Spirit Tohka's emotions are already very stable. According to the Commander, she already has an affection level of max. These things are actually superfluous."
Looking at the scene on the monitor with Kotori, Murasame Reine said this.
"That's what they say, but it's also good to cultivate the big sister's affection with that Spirit, and..."
"And the most troublesome problem isn't Tohka, it's Arthas..."
Murasame Reine said this, pausing for a moment, and then slowly spoke again:
"Until now, we haven't come to a conclusion about what exactly he is..."
"No matter what he is... In short, his power is no less than that of a Spirit. And compared to the unstable Spirits, he's actually very safe."
Biting the lollipop, Kotori said this somewhat unconvincingly.
Saying that Arthas was safe, but the terrible scene he had created yesterday and the words he had spoken were still fresh in the girl's memory.
If he wanted to, he could freeze the entire Tengu City in an instant. What kind of power was that?
Among the known Spirits, there really weren't many who reached that guy's destructive power.
"Well, at least the situation is still optimistic for the time being. Don't worry, even that Arthas will eventually fall for big sister's charms!"
Kotori narrowed her eyes, saying this with great confidence. Suddenly, the girl seemed to have thought of something, and spoke:
"That's right... I almost overlooked the AST. I hope those guys don't come out and cause trouble at this time?"
"The AST probably wouldn't be able to discover her existence either, since she didn't bring about a spacequake when she appeared in the human world." Murasame Reine said this.
"Let's hope so. Continue to observe." Kotori waved her hand, giving the order.
