Otto is not a good person. It's best for everyone not to mess with him.
This was already a consensus among everyone. But the sugar-coated bullets fired by the enemy still had to be eaten. Just don't forget to throw the bullets back after eating.
One hundred million US dollars was not a small number. With this money, everyone could strengthen themselves, improve their strength, and then find an auspicious day to go and beat up this son of a bitch.
Before that auspicious day arrived, it was better to stay put for the time being.
Moreover, after absorbing Heracles' Divinity, Qian Yi could vaguely feel that Izanagi-no-Okami was undergoing some kind of change. He didn't know how to describe this change, but according to his speculation, it should be similar to a Stand coming into contact with a Requiem Arrow or completing some kind of ritual, evolving towards Requiem or Over Heaven.
But Izanagi-no-Okami was not an ordinary Persona. Its origin was one of the creator gods in Japanese mythology. This bit of divinity was not enough to push it to that level of evolution.
But fortunately, he could enhance the power of his Persona by forming relationships and contracts with others. At the current level of Izanagi's evolution, perhaps forming a contract with one more person would trigger an evolution.
Who the next person to form a contract with him would be was truly something to look forward to.
...
Haneoka Girls' Academy.
In front of the vending machine that often gets stuck.
Qian Yi looked in despair as his favorite sugar-free Fanta got stuck for the fifth time in a row. The expected behavior of using the force of the subsequent drinks to knock down the stuck ones did not happen.
"Calm down. At this point, I can only—ORA!"
He delivered a heavy roundhouse kick to the heavy, cold, and merciless machine, as if winding up a broken machine again, making it successfully emit a pleasant 'clank' sound.
Item acquired: Sugar-free Fanta ×5.
"Here." Qian Yi gave one of the cans to Shoko.
"I'm really sorry to make you run this errand." Shoko fully displayed her craftsman spirit, bowing and presenting the Persona Evoker with both hands.
"You're as serious as ever. By the way, you haven't used the Twelve Labors of Heracles, have you?" Qian Yi took the Persona Evoker and asked casually.
"Mmm. Do you want to use it? I can give it to you," Shoko was suddenly startled, then her face showed joy.
"No, that won't be necessary. That thing is more suitable for you," Qian Yi refused.
Toyokawa Shoko fell silent. The sound of the sugar-free Fanta's bubbles was particularly quiet.
"God Hand," an immortality granted by a blessing and curse from the gods. This Noble Phantasm has no form as a weapon or armor. To put it bluntly, the body itself can be said to be a Noble Phantasm. It can nullify all attacks of rank B or lower, and also has the effect of automatically reviving the body after death. As long as one is not killed twelve times, one will not die.
For an ordinary person like Shoko, a Noble Phantasm with such an effect could be called the strongest. But precisely because it was too suitable, it made Shoko unable to make up her mind to use it.
Qian Yi immediately understood. It was the so-called pride of a young girl at play. She thought she was being pitied, that her contributions were not worthy of such a reward, and that such a thing should be given to the person who should use it most.
All mistakes made in youth.
Perhaps at this time, he should put some pressure on Shoko, let her know that if she couldn't keep up with the team's strength, she would be eliminated, become a benchwarmer for life, and eventually be kicked out of the team, thus stimulating her motivation?
No, that might cause Shoko to explode on the spot. The next time I see her would be in the morgue, or as Shoko-chan.
Fortunately, he was very good at dealing with such people who could pilot an EVA. As long as he was even more of a god-tier person, even better at piloting an EVA, and his AT field was stronger, it would be fine.
After brewing for a while, he decisively spoke. "Shoko, I fell in love with you at first sight. Can you entrust the rest of your life to me?"
"?" Shoko slowly typed out a question mark.
Wait, are you f*ing crazy?
You're the brain and pillar of our chat group. If you go crazy, won't everyone else go crazy with you?
"No, I'm serious. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Can you form a dimensional chat group with me for life and go on missions for life?" Qian Yi grabbed Shoko and pulled her closer. The sunlight shone into the girl's eyes.
"Ah... this..." Shoko, suddenly grabbed, was flustered beyond words. "Wh-wh-why are you saying these things?!"
"Because Miss Shoko is about to die. If I don't say it now, there might not be another chance."
"Huh?"
"Next, we will go to Kiana's world and send troops to Schicksal. At that time, without the buff of a world quest, an ordinary person like Miss Shoko might be eroded into a dead soldier just by getting a little closer to the Honkai energy. No, you have no Honkai energy resistance at all, Shoko. You might even turn directly into ashes. When the battle is over, everyone can only collect your ashes while mourning and singing praises for you."
Qian Yi was like a poet on an opera stage, eloquently describing a heart-wrenching opera called 'The Death of Toyokawa Shoko,' while observing Shoko's gradually stiffening expression. "But it's okay. Even if Miss Shoko dies, we will carry your ashes with us and let you fight alongside us. I believe your spirit in heaven will bless us."
"..." Shoko was almost scared to death by the gravity of the situation and could only say weakly, "Can't you give me a better ending?"
After some thought, Qian Yi's eyes lit up. "Of course, I can. I can have Talulah find the Sarkaz Confessors and ask them to revive you with your ashes. Although that Shoko will no longer be you, just a program with Shoko's memories, at least she can continue to form a dimensional chat group with us. Mmm, but a substitute is still not acceptable. Oh, I have a good idea. Why don't we just stuff your soul into a Victorian steam knight and make it into a Dreadnought-class Titan to continue fighting alongside us? That way, it would be the original Shoko."
Shoko: Horrified.
How is that the original flavor in any way? Why won't you let me go even after I'm dead?
What kind of group is this?!
Oh, I'm actually an administrator, and one of the first members to join. This is the ultimate embarrassment!
Why did our dimensional chat group turn out like this?!
"I'll use it! I'll use it, okay!" Shoko decisively abandoned her self-esteem and decided to use the Twelve Labors no matter what.
Hehe! I must live!
She felt her self-esteem and strength rapidly disappearing. What kind of monster would she become if this continued?
She didn't know, but it didn't matter anymore.
[Bond with Qian Yi has greatly increased???]
[Courage has greatly increased???]
In an instant, Qian Yi felt a certain change in his Persona.
[Izanagi-no-Okami → Izanagi-no-Okami Picaro]
