"Aili, there's nothing wrong with Kiana, right?" Fu Hua asked Aili while changing her clothes.
"Hua, you should trust Kiana once in a while. After all, she is a Valkyrie, isn't she ♬~" Aili helped Fu Hua smooth out the wrinkles on her clothes.
"I'm just a little worried. With the gem here, Anti-Entropy will definitely make other moves, especially since the opponent is Cocolia." Fu Hua took the gloves Aili handed her and put them on.
"Yes, for example, the First Herrscher who ambushed Hua didn't die," Aili said with a sigh.
"Didn't die? That's within expectations. After all, it was an enemy who invaded the Academy." Fu Hua picked up the glasses she had taken off when she changed clothes.
"Let's go. It's time for us to retrieve the gem." Fu Hua looked at the faintly lit sky outside.
They had already wasted a whole night.
"Before we get the gem, we still need to help Miss Ghost," Aili said with a smile, looking out the window.
"Someone is planning to come looking for Miss Ghost," Aili turned her head and said to Fu Hua.
"Then let's wait a little longer." Fu Hua nodded, then opened the door and walked out.
Aili covered her mouth and chuckled, then followed behind Fu Hua.
When the two reached downstairs, Miss Ghost looked at their appearance and nodded.
"How is it? The combat uniform fits well, right?" Miss Ghost put down the wine glass in her hand.
"In Singapore, this is high-end stuff," Miss Ghost proudly introduced the combat uniform to Fu Hua.
"Hmm, I'll give you the cost of the combat uniform later. For now, let's welcome the guest first," Fu Hua looked towards the door.
"Guest? Who would come this early in the morning…?" Before Miss Ghost could finish speaking, the pub door was pushed open.
"How is that possible? Where's the alarm system outside the door??" Miss Ghost turned her head to look at the person who pushed open the door.
"Siegfried Kaslana! How could it be? How are you here?!" Miss Ghost said in surprise.
"Yo, it seems I'm quite famous, little girl." Siegfried walked into the pub and sat directly in front of Miss Ghost.
"After all, Lord Siegfried, you are very famous in Schicksal," Miss Ghost dropped her disguise and said cautiously.
"Hahaha, that's true. After all, when I was in Schicksal, I was a notorious playboy. Little girl, get me something to drink to quench my thirst," Siegfried said in a very familiar manner.
"Hey, you over there, no need to be so nervous. If I were here to fight, I wouldn't have just pushed open the door," Siegfried said to Fu Hua, who was standing by the side, staring at him.
"Alright, Hua, he's right. After all, if he were to fight, he would directly blow this place up with Judgment of Shamash," Aili patted Fu Hua's shoulder, then sat directly next to Siegfried.
"So, what's the matter with our Lord Siegfried?"
"Yo, little girl, you're quite bold, much better than those two," Siegfried reached out and patted Aili's shoulder.
Feeling the force on her shoulder, "Lord Siegfried, when you pat someone's shoulder, could you please control your strength?"
Although Aili said it with a smile, that smile revealed a sense of danger.
"Little girl, you're no fun to tease." Siegfried directly took a freshly opened bottle of wine from Miss Ghost's hand.
Miss Ghost looked at the empty glass in front of her and her now empty hand, a drop of cold sweat running down her forehead.
"Wine is more refreshing when you drink it straight from the bottle," Siegfried said, taking a sip from the bottle.
"Hey, go tell your companion over there not to be so nervous. I don't have any ill intentions," Siegfried looked at Fu Hua, then said to Aili.
"Lord Siegfried, since you know our names, please don't call us 'hey, hey, hey'," Aili sighed.
Then she said to Fu Hua, "Hua, no need to be nervous. If we really fight, we won't gain any advantage."
Aili glanced at Miss Ghost, "And this is Miss Ghost's pub. If we fight here, Miss Ghost will cry ♬~"
Hearing Aili's words, Fu Hua's tensed body relaxed. "Then, Siegfried Kaslana, why are you here?"
"As a wanted target of Schicksal, appearing before us like this, aren't you afraid we'll tell the Bishop your information?"
"Oh, little girl, don't be so distant. I'm just here to tell you some information," Siegfried shook the wine bottle.
"I think you've also gathered some, which is the location of the gem, but you probably don't know why the gem is here so clearly."
"And why Otto didn't send anyone here, and what Cocolia is ultimately planning to do." After Siegfried finished speaking, he directly drank the wine in his hand.
"That's a good wine, little girl, get me another bottle." Placing the empty bottle on the table, Siegfried smiled and said to Miss Ghost.
"If Siegfried is willing to share information," Fu Hua sat on the side where Siegfried had no arm. If Siegfried were to make a move, she, sitting on this side, could act first.
"Tsk, why are you so wary?" Siegfried looked at Fu Hua, somewhat speechless.
"Cocolia plans to trigger another Great Honkai to create a human-made Herrscher, and Otto…" When Siegfried mentioned Otto, his expression also became serious.
"Otto, he should know Cocolia's plan, so he just let the gem be taken out."
Subsequently, Siegfried began to tell them Cocolia's plan, whether it was using Honkai Energy crystals to activate the gem, or using Honkai Energy bombs to trigger a Honkai.
"Otto probably didn't give you a container for the gem, did he?" Siegfried took the second bottle of wine Miss Ghost handed him, then turned his head and asked Fu Hua.
"A container for the gem? No," Fu Hua said with a frown.
"Hahaha, I knew it. That Otto guy is still the same," Siegfried took a sip of wine, placed the bottle on the table, and then put his hand in his pocket.
He took out a small box from his pocket and placed it on the table.
He slid the box towards Fu Hua.
Seeing Fu Hua catch it, "This box can neutralize the gem's Honkai Energy reaction. It's for you." With that, Siegfried stood up with the wine.
"I'll leave the gem's recovery to you. If a Herrscher really appears, I'll take action."
"You trust us that much to prevent the Honkai outbreak?" Fu Hua put away the box, then said to Siegfried, who had walked to the door.
"Having lived with my daughter all this time, how could I not trust your character?" With that, Siegfried waved his hand and walked out of the pub.
After Siegfried had been gone for a while.
Miss Ghost hugged her head and collapsed onto the table, "Why did I have to know about this?!" Miss Ghost said, somewhat breaking down.
"This pub, I worked so hard to get it in order!"
