Chapter 113 Covert Operation

"Hmph!" Kugavina fell to the ground and groaned. Her body had become weak due to unknown means, and her pain tolerance was not very high, so it was difficult for her to meet the appearance requirements of that deceptive, gentle and fashionable girl.

With her mouth sealed, she glared at Ming Chong with a sinister look. When her gaze caught sight of Krevi, her expression became somewhat meaningful.

That distorted temperament instantly disappeared, and instead brought with it a sense of superiority.

Krevy's pupils shrank, and she covered her mouth and whispered, "Mother...?"

"Hah—" Navia gasped, her head spinning rapidly, not knowing with whom to share her thoughts. She asked in a whisper, "What? Has it been resolved? The biggest bad guy has been caught. Can we start preparing for the banquet?"

Clorinde stroked Navia's restless head with one hand to calm her down, and patted the back of Krevy's hand with the other to reassure her. Then, she watched the scene, her chin resting on her hand, lost in thought...

Ming Chong frowned more and more as he looked at this guy. This guy came at the same time as Funina. He probably saw the Water God of Fontaine was present, so he didn't dare to show up before, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

The sudden appearance of the woman in front of her scared Funina. She had no idea there was anyone nearby, and had to use borrowed power to detect the person's strength.

——So strong!

——Could this be the executive officer?

…I hope Ming Chong isn’t trying to test my strength by isolating herself from me and letting me fight her… Ugh~ I’m only good at running away!!!

Finina pursed her lips, her alarm bells ringing, even her head aching. Strange, she clearly hadn't overused her brain...

Bang bang bang!

"Hey hey hey hey! Funina! Funina!" Ming Chong came over with a bright smile and knocked her head excitedly, his lips opening and closing, as if he had thought of something but for a moment forgot how to start.

“…”

No wonder I have a headache.

——Forget it, let me speak first.

"As the god of Fontaine, you should listen to my opinion first." Funina waved away Ming Chong's usurping hand, closed her eyes and thought for a moment. When she opened her eyes, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose.

"Heartland House could have been a good cause for the Kingdom of Winter, but now it has many problems. Fontaine isn't a trash can. A civil organization like this... Oh, I can ignore all the undercover activities you, the Fatui executive, have conducted in Fontaine before.

In exchange, Krevy will be given the power to freely choose her own life. Of course, all rules and regulations of Hearth House must conform to the standards of civil organizations established by Fontaine.

Kujavina's mouth was sealed, and she could only stare sinisterly, unable to answer.

What's more, Funina hasn't started to think about it yet, these are just some official statements.

"I agree!" Ming Chong spoke for her helpfully.

Yes, regardless of Kujavina's situation, this is indeed just a boring speech.

To put it bluntly, while being held hostage, Kugavina needs to continue her job as an executive - educating the children of Hearth House - to prevent the Kingdom of Winter from discovering the truth that "she is being controlled", and at the same time she needs to act in accordance with the rules of Fontaine.

in short--

Working while in jail.

"Mmmmm!"

Ignoring Kugavina's silent resistance and the confused children, Funina nodded, tilted her head and crossed her arms.

"Then..." She casually glanced at Kugavina who was sitting on the ground, and suddenly smiled.

"Let's agree on a deadline, Madam Executive."

"A Fontaine person becomes an adult at the age of 18, so the term is set at 8 years. This..." Finina paused, thinking about the "Pepe" mentioned by Krevy and -

"Little Shiitake, this is the time limit for you to replace her."

8 years...

After repeating this in his mind several times, the 10-year-old Peruvili nodded, "But I need martial arts guidance, and I must do it without reservation."

"Well... this is indeed a problem." After all, Kugavina knew about their loud conspiracy early on, and it was impossible for her to do nothing.

Oh no, sometimes doing nothing is also a means.

Even if Ming Chong left behind some means to restrict her, Kugavina would only have to endure for eight years, and quietly nurture and suppress Peluvili, the real child who was in the opponent's plan.

Funina glanced at Ming Chong, who was feeling a bit restless and had become a tool to restrict Kujavina. "But I have other plans."

Then he quickly leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Good idea!" Ming Chong's eyes lit up.

In the face of Peleweli's confused look, Ming Chong grinned and flicked a sizzling ball of light at Peleweli with his fingertips.

The ball of light disappeared as soon as it entered her forehead, and she felt nothing.

"What a pity! I can't take you with me every day, little mushroom." Ming Chong couldn't help but smile when he thought about the use of the ball of light. "But I can give you a portable grandfather, no, old woman, you can take her with you every day."

Peruvili touched the center of his eyebrows where the ball of light had entered, not quite understanding what was meant.

But she nodded, "I understand."

At this time, Ming Chong had already banned Kugavina's skills.

——[Xiaoyao] means that you can decide what to do and what not to do, so it is also possible to prevent others from doing something.

"Then, the next question is about you, Krevy." Finina looked at Krevy who was walking quickly towards Peruvili. "What is your decision?"

Krevy was taken aback when her name was suddenly called, and she lowered her eyes to look at the floor. "I'm sorry, Lady Finina, I may have let you down. I think that since the children of Hearth House are waiting for the outcome of Pepe's battle, how can I be outside alone——"

"What do you mean you're outside alone?" Navia was so excited that she couldn't help but break through Clorinde's obstruction and interrupted Krevie's monologue.

"Huh?"

Clorinde sighed, "I'm sorry I didn't stop her."

While Krevy was startled by Navia who suddenly rushed in front of her and just shook her head and waved her hands in response to Clorinde's apology, Peruvili picked up the colorful graffiti that had floated to the corner of the open-air fireplace house and was covered with dust, and cleaned up the paper.

Navia brought out the excuse she had prepared long ago, "Krevi, Lady Finina already said it was an exchange, and you still want to go back? Isn't this a complete waste of an opportunity?"

"You've lived in Hearth House before. If you could leave early, wouldn't it be helpful to understand what kind of preparations the children of Hearth House need to make to adapt to life outside?"

"Eh—?" Krevy leaned back suddenly. "It seems... it makes sense..."

"Krevy." Peruvili handed her the paper and stated calmly, "You want to see this, right?"

"Well, this, this is..."

——That’s the Rose Thorn Society flyer drawn by Navia.

When the dressing mirror changed drastically, Peruvian discovered that Krevi was very interested in the paper sticking out of the mirror, which was why she lowered her guard and the flame in her hand suddenly shrank.

"I didn't expect Pepe to find it so quickly." Krevy smiled slightly. "But actually, I just think the colors in this painting are very nostalgic. Ever since Mother started teaching everyone martial arts, I haven't seen anyone draw something like this in a long time..."

"Indeed, Navia's painting is exactly what a child's level should be." Clorinde nodded.

Navia blinked and said excitedly, "I understand! Krevy must have been attracted by the philosophy of the Thorn Rose Society!"

Clorinde: "Tsk."

"Why are you tsk-tsk-tsk-ing me? Am I wrong?"

Ming Chong put his hand on Navia's shoulder and said, "No, it's a good time for you to bump into me."

…

…

Since Funina urgently needed someone to take over the situation, Mingchong had a good grasp of the scale of the firecrackers. The roof was not damaged and the house did not collapse. Therefore, the security team and the law enforcement court rushed over quickly through the door opened by Funina.

They shouted "Found it" "Found it" and told each other;

They shouted "As expected" and "As expected" and gathered around the Fireplace House to investigate, and then they were in great sorrow.

——Although the stereotype that a water god will cause a big fuss if he disappears has been reinforced, it’s not like there’s anyone worse off than me… no, the gods.

Finina thought with a smile.

"This... is the teacher who taught me martial arts..." Peruvili opened his eyes wide and looked at the object in front of him that was covered in lightning, his heart surging.

Of course, the point isn't that the actual opponent is a god, but rather...

——Gods also have so many hands, just like the spiders I used to raise.

Her eyes flickered as she looked at the Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes behind her.

but……

"She is a god, right?"

"So what!" Ming Chong crossed his arms, "She is not a good mother either, so what's wrong with beating her?" At least she is just okay with Ouzi.

——What’s wrong with me being able to cry? Being able to cry means I have emotions, which is obviously an advantage!!!

——So, he deserves to be beaten!

Pointing.jpg

On one side is the obedient and supportive Wang Ouzai, and on the other side is the unfamiliar Inazuma figurine king. Ming Chong knows with his toes which one he will favor.

Peruvili quietly lowered his head to look at the ground, then raised it again after a moment, "The difference in strength is too great, there's no point in teaching martial arts."

If she didn't really like Thor's wing costume, Peruvian would have wanted to apply to replace this old lady who was always with her.

"No need to worry about that." Ming Chong puffed out his chest proudly.

In order to fulfill his wish of beating up his friend's irresponsible mother, Ming Chong specially set up a level that would automatically level up according to Peruvili's strength.

Just like playing a game, this Thor starts out like a mechanism, only releasing skills regularly and at intervals;

Then gradually increase the difficulty until it matches the combat power of the real Thor.

——In short, in every battle, Little Mushroom has a chance to win and achieve the achievement of beating up the Thunder God!

Besides, this is not the real deal, so he can deal with it however he wants!

Not only that, Ming Chong also took into account the curse on Peruvili's bloodline, and also set up that in this portable old woman's space, all her consumption and burdens would be borne by this space.

"This curse looks quite painful. How about I remove it for you?"

"..." Peruvian shook her head. "This is also part of my power. I can already control it."

"That's easy!" Ming Chong said again, "Then we can eliminate the pain caused by this curse."

Peruvili's eyes were calm and unwavering. "Pain is also the source of my strength."
