Chapter 53 Meeting but Not Recognizing Each Other

Three days had passed by the time Yao Chuanling woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a huge marshmallow sitting on the edge of the bed, eating a marshmallow while staring at her.

Yao Chuanling abruptly closed her eyes again.

She must still be dreaming, otherwise why would Bai Lan be by her bedside?

It's kind of scary.

"If you don't wake up soon, I'm even considering sending you to the research lab for a 'check-up'."

Bai Lan blinked and casually uttered threatening words.

She's not afraid at all.

Yao Chuanling covered her face with the blanket, pretending it was an accident but actually deliberately kicking his waist.

Bai Lan paused, her hand holding the cotton candy still.

She said in a muffled voice, "Get out, I need to change my clothes."

After sleeping for three days, it's time to get up and move around.

"Kick me again."

Bai Lan leaned closer to her, a strange light shining in her eyes.

This person has no sense of boundaries; he's practically touching her face.

Yao Chuanling pushed her away in disgust.

Are you a pervert?

How can someone be so happy after being beaten up?

Her outstretched hand covered Bai Lan's face, but the gaps couldn't block out her amethyst-like eyes.

Bai Lan blinked and leaned forward again.

That's amazing.

He often suffered from headaches due to passively receiving memories of parallel worlds, but after she touched him, the symptoms disappeared temporarily.

My mind is clear now, and I feel much more awake.

"Get away from here!"

Yao Chuanling rolled up the blanket and turned her back to him.

This morning, I had a small, pathetic outburst of anger.

This person is like sticky nougat.

"Don't be angry, Little Ling-chan."

Bai Lan reluctantly got up and walked out, gently closing the door behind her.

"I'll be waiting for you outside the door."

She already disliked him, and if he went too far, she would dislike him even more.

Even though he thought about how the elf had slept in bed for three days, he still found it amusing that the elf was so lively and energetic.

The wardrobe was full of clothes. Yaochuan Ling rummaged through them and found Millefiore's uniform and Namimori school uniform.

?

Why are there still school uniforms?

This person's perverse sense of humor is simply overflowing.

Are Italians born fashion icons?

Yao Chuanling casually grabbed a dress and put it on.

Both Gokudera Hayato and Byakuran have Italian ancestry, and their fashion sense is impeccable.

A rose-colored halter-neck maxi dress, perfect for an Italian summer.

"It's so pretty, Little Ling-chan~"

The door opened, revealing the face of the elf lady.

Seeing her attire, Bai Lan smiled with satisfaction.

When Kikyo showed him the design sketches, he was bored and picked out quite a few styles to pass the time.

"Is there anything else?"

Yao Chuan Ling glanced at him.

She was given a fright this morning, so she won't be giving him a friendly look today.

As if by magic, the white-haired man in front of them produced a bouquet of Juliet roses from behind his back.

Sweet-smelling, orange-pink clouds fell into her arms.

Let's go on a date.

Bai Lan brazenly grabbed her left hand.

Italy has a Mediterranean climate with many sunny summers. The lush vegetation displays its vibrant life force, creating a scene reminiscent of a romantic movie under the sunlight.

This is the most romantic season.

He thought to himself, "I'll regret it if I don't ask her out today."

After all, he didn't have much time left.

Although she didn't want to talk to him, she was still very willing to go out and have fun.

Yao Chuanling, bearing the weight of his humiliation, nodded heavily.

Let's go out and have some fun!

As for the hands they're holding, well, let them hold hands.

After getting up, she saw the clear blue sky outside the balcony, with climbing roses and flowing clouds and birds complementing each other, which relaxed her body and mind.

It is indeed a beautiful day.

"But you should change your clothes first."

She just didn't like Milfiore's uniform.

Going out with someone wearing a Millefiore uniform gives me the feeling of being an accomplice to evil.

Bai Lan glanced at the lively and beautiful elf, then looked down at her proper uniform, and spoke to her in a gentle and kind tone.

"Then I'll go change my clothes, Xiaoling-chan, wait for me."

They really don't match.

Since we're only going to areas ruled by Milfiore, we won't encounter any danger. Occasionally abandoning our status as leaders and our ambitions to become gods, and enjoying an ordinary day is a good choice.

He released Yao Chuanling's hand and turned to walk towards his room.

It's right across the street.

Just as Bai Lan touched the door handle, she heard a third person's voice behind her.

"Lord Bailan."

The red-haired young man with thick-rimmed glasses said seriously, "I have something important to discuss with you."

He glanced at the woman beside him without any emotion.

It means she should avoid it.

The battle plan is not something a guest or a hostage could know.

"It's alright, Xiaozheng~" Bai Lan smiled meaningfully, "What you need to know will be known eventually."

But what good will it do to know?

In other worlds, Tsunayoshi was defeated by him, and this world will be no exception.

Irie Shoichi frowned slightly, his heart tightening.

Could it be that Bai Lan knows something?

"Lady Byakuran, please don't say that. It's best for unrelated people not to be around in such matters."

The White Curse A-rank captain did not approve of the leader's actions.

He met his eyes, and the situation reached a stalemate.

Byakuran spoke when Irie Shoichi placed his hand on his stomach.

"Since Xiao Zheng insists, there's nothing I can do about it."

Bai Lan shrugged and then used her fingertip to press a marshmallow between her teeth.

The tip of the tongue curls slightly, carrying a hint of inexplicable eroticism.

Yao Chuanling concealed the deep thought in her eyes and snorted, "I'm leaving."

This is Milfiore, the opposing faction, so it's understandable that they're wary of her.

She left first, then secretly listened using her divine sense.

It's just a bit of a shame that the opportunity to go out and have fun was canceled.

"Little Ling, don't wander off, or you might not be able to find your way back."

Seeing the rose-colored figure run off in a huff, Bai Lan kindly offered a reminder.

The existence of the True Six Funeral Wreaths was concealed within the base using illusion magic, so much so that even his most trusted son, Xiao Zheng, was unaware of it.

He allowed her free movement within the base, but only within the base.

Yao Chuanling heard him speak and walked even faster.

The long corridor twisted and turned until she was out of sight, and only then did Bai Lan turn her gaze away.

"What could be so urgent that it disrupted my date with Xiaoling?"

He was half complaining and half curious.

"Our elite troops were all wiped out by the Varia assassination squad, and the situation in Caballone is not optimistic either."

Irie Shoichi adjusted his glasses and reported the latest battle situation.

Varia and Cavallone should not be underestimated, especially the Varia assassination squad, which has always existed as the "shadow" of the Vongola. It is small in number but high in quality, and has not yet been conquered.

“I see… Let Yuni’s dark magic handle the Valia situation, and I’ll trouble Masaru to make the trip to Gabrielne himself.”

Millefiore was formed by the merger of the Gesso and Giglionello families. Uni was once the leader of the Giglionello and is now the supreme leader of the Dark Curse.

Yuni is a very important child.

On the other end, Yao Chuanling walked to a secluded corner and opened the note in a blind spot of the surveillance camera.

It was given to her by the White Spell Captain who had just chased her away.

The paper simply read: Save Yuni.

Who is Yuni?

She had never heard of this name before.

However, telling her now means that this person is in the Millefiore base.

Base exploration begins!

Elves love adventure stories and are happy to act as knights to rescue princesses.

"Is there something you need here?"

This is the technical department's territory. Spanner had just come out to get some water when he saw a strange figure loitering outside the door.

But he does his research alone most of the time, so it's normal that he doesn't know him.

The blond youth, dressed in overalls and wearing goggles, lowered his eyes and asked calmly.

"May I go in and take a look?"

Yao Chuanling obediently put her hands behind her back and used her fingertips to destroy the note and cover up the evidence.

I really want to poach a few technicians to the Vongola.

"what ever."

Spana opened the door, holding a glass of water.

The common work area was very quiet, with only the sound of typing on keyboards.

No one looked up when they heard the door open; these mechanics were used to being immersed in their own world.

People who come usually state their requests with a very clear purpose, and then the staff in charge of the relevant work will take over.

In addition, there are personal work areas for mechanics, which Spana usually has in private offices.

"Can I come with you?"

Yao Chuanling stared at him with bright eyes and asked in a low voice.

I don't understand it, but it looks really impressive.

Out of curiosity, I decided to take a look.

Spana raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

"Okay, but please don't move around."

Wrenches and screws are scattered throughout the genius mechanic's room, and a large, unassembled machine sits in the center.

He grabbed a handful from the bucket full of lollipops and handed them to her: "Strawberry flavor, very delicious."

These are his homemade wrench-shaped lollipops. Although he has tried other flavors, he still thinks the strawberry flavor is the best.

There's not much here, so this is all we can offer her.

"Thank you!"

Yao Chuanling happily accepted it.

It's candy!

He's a good person!

She gave him a bouquet of roses in exchange.

"Um?"

This was the first time someone had ever given him flowers.

The engineering student, who was completely absorbed in mechanics, wasn't interested in such romantic things, and besides, he felt that the person in front of him was more suited to the bouquet of flowers than he was.

But not wanting to disappoint his good intentions, he took one flower and put it in a cup.

One flower is enough.

Lollipops are not precious things.

He hadn't originally intended to get anything from her.

He said, "I will study it carefully."

Let's study how artificial roses are made.

"Okay." Yao Chuanling circled the large central machine. "Is this Mosca?"

It looks a bit like the giant robot from the Battle of the Cloud Rings.

“It’s the second generation, Stolao Mosca.” Spana looked up, his eyes shining. “I will definitely modify it to be the strongest.”

Innovation and transcendence are the goals that technicians relentlessly pursue, especially for Spana, who is even more passionate and dedicated to them.

Yaochuan Ling was going to find Yuni, so she didn't stay here for long.

After she left, Spana, with a lollipop in his mouth, gently touched the rose petals with his finger.

For some reason, he started typing on the keyboard and wrote a test program on the computer.

The emerald eyes resemble lush forest trees, their green foliage undulating in the wind.

He understood and smiled slightly: "I see."

Of course, you should tell your good friends about this.

His good friend, who had read it long ago, replied with a headache and stomachache: Go to the Vongola.

After all, they were all "undercover agents" whose bodies were in Millefiore but whose hearts were in the Vongola.

The information about Yuni's address was given to Youchuan Ling by another Vongola member.

A handsome intelligence officer pretended to bump into an elf who was walking in a daze.

"Feel sorry."

She wasn't paying attention and fell backward after being bumped, but a hand suddenly appeared around her waist to steady her.

Seeing that she had regained her footing, the other person withdrew his hand with great restraint, and said with lingering fear, "That is Lady Yuni's residence. Fortunately, we did not disturb her."

Just when you're feeling sleepy, here's a pillow for you!

Yao Chuanling was worried about how to find Yuni. Her scattered mental energy was blocked, and she could only piece together the clues like a blind man feeling an elephant.

"Thanks."

She was in a great mood, and thanked him with a smile that crinkled her eyes.

There are still more good people than bad in the world.

The adult elf was even more beautiful than she was in her youth; her smile shone brightly, making even the darkest room glow.

The person in front of him was taken aback.

"You're welcome. I have to go now."

Leo quickly put on a smile, his manner distant and polite.

He was the leader's assistant and was on his way to the meeting hall after being summoned by Bai Lan.

The two passed each other by.

Yao Chuanling's heart stirred slightly, and she turned to look back.

Only his back was visible.

Black uniform, unhurried pace.

Although they only exchanged a few words, Yao Chuanling felt a sense of déjà vu with him.

It was as if they had known each other for a long time.
