"I'm sorry I'm late."

Asuna hurriedly opened the door and apologized to the girls sitting on the chairs a little embarrassedly. Hearing her apology, Tilia smiled slightly.

"No, Ms. Asuna, the time is just right, so let's get started."

"Well... then, why did you call us here this time?"

It was only at this time that Asuna realized that something was amiss. She had only received a notification from Eriri on her personal terminal, saying that everyone was going to have a small gathering. Asuna had thought that it was just a normal tea chat, but when she got here, she found that the atmosphere was as serious and tense as a war outpost.

Tilia and Kasugano Sora were sitting at the upper and lower ends of the oval conference table. The former still had her signature elegant lady-like smile, while the latter was still hugging her black rabbit doll as usual, curled up in her chair with an unhappy look on her face.

On both sides of the table sat Kuroneko, Eriri, Kurumi, Homura Akemi and Kuroko... This combination did look a bit strange to Asuna.

"Uh...what exactly is going on?"

Asuna swallowed her saliva, quietly sat down next to Eriri and asked in a low voice, but Eriri shook her head.

"I don't know. Black Cat asked me to come."

Hearing this, Asuna looked at Kuroneko, who also shook his head.

"It was Miss Kuang San who notified me to come."

Looking at Tokisaki Kurumi opposite her, Asuna didn't dare to ask any more questions. At this time, Tilia finally solved the mystery.

"I called you all here this time because I have something to report to you. Currently, someone in the world of the third coordinate point has proposed to my elder brother."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked at first, and then...

“…That’s it?”

Yinglili looked at Tilia in disbelief.

"You gathered us together in a mysterious way. I thought something was wrong. Aren't there many people who confessed to Mr. Fang Zheng?"

"Yes, in our world, I used to receive love letters from people every day."

Qiong also interjected and yawned at the same time, expressing strong indignation at Tilia's behavior of not letting herself, who had stayed up all night, to have a good sleep but instead holding some weird meeting here.

"That's right, Sister Tilia. Big Brother gets confessions every day, and there are so many women who want to marry him. If you have to hold a meeting every time you come, then we won't be able to do anything."

Xiao Hei also expressed his opinion.

Hearing this, everyone nodded. Fang Zheng had too many women around him, so this was not unusual. However, they were also very confident in Fang Zheng, and the girls knew that Fang Zheng was not an ordinary person, so they did not interfere in this matter.

Now that Tilia brought up this matter, everyone felt a little puzzled.

"It's different this time, isn't it?"

However, Tilia was obviously prepared. She giggled and snapped her fingers. Soon, a 3D image appeared in the middle of the round table in the conference room.

"That's her?"

"That's right, Reki, 17 years old, S-rank martial arts detective, good at using sniper rifles..."

"Butei?"

"Something like an armed detective."

"I see."

Hearing this, Eriri nodded.

"Then why did she propose to Mr. Fang Zheng? Did she encounter danger during the battle and was saved by Mr. Fang Zheng?"

"no."

Tilia smiled and shook her head.

"Did she confess to my brother after spending so much time with him?"

At this moment, Qiong also raised her own question, but Tilia still shook her head.

“No.”

"Could it be that she and Mr. Fang Zheng were enemies, and after the two of them fought, this girl named Reiji became obsessed with Mr. Fang Zheng?"

Black Cat was also full of ideas at this moment, but Tilia still shook her head.

“Neither is it.”

"Why is that?"

At this moment, Ying Lili also became curious.

"What was her reason for proposing to Mr. Founder?"

"have no idea."

"……Why?"

"I really don't know. In fact, when she proposed to Mr. Fang Zheng, it was the first time they met. Although they had fought twice before, they had never bumped into each other. In other words, logically speaking, they should have had no intersection at all."

After hearing Tilia's introduction, everyone was stunned.

"What is this?"

Eriri jumped up immediately.

"You mean to say that this girl neither knows Mr. Fang Zheng nor has she met him, but she came to him eagerly to propose to him?"

"That's right. And I'd like to remind you that it's a long way from her city to Mr. Fang Zheng's residence."

"this……"

Hearing this, the girls were stunned and stared at each other, completely speechless. If you said that the other person had been with Fang Zheng before, or had fought together, or had been saved by him, it would be reasonable to ask for marriage. But the two of you had basically never met each other, and you came all the way to ask for marriage?

What kind of operation is this?

"Then why did she propose to Mr. Founder?"

"According to her own statement? Because of the wind..."

"Electric wave system..."

Hearing this answer, Eriri scratched her hair helplessly and looked at the black cat.

"Now it's your turn to come on stage, come and interpret it."

"How can I interpret this? I absolutely cannot do such a thing!!"

In response to Eriri's words, Kuroneko hurriedly shook her head to deny it. Even though she was indeed a middle school student, the thought of running thousands of miles to propose to a boy she didn't know and had never met before made Kuroneko feel like her brain was going to explode just thinking about it. As for putting it into practice... it was simply impossible!

“Could it be a political marriage?”

At this moment, Asuna also expressed her opinion.

"Like Miss Euphemia?"

In the mecha world, in order to please Fang Zheng, who was the highest official in the Chinese Federation, the Britannian Empire once proposed to marry the third princess Euphemia Li Britannia to Fang Zheng. This marriage was naturally rejected by Fang Zheng, but for Asuna and the others, it was also a very impressive thing.

However, Asuna's idea was also rejected by Tilia.

"According to Nymph's investigation, this girl named Reki doesn't seem to have any special official power background. In addition, in that world, the elder brother is very low-key. Even if the high-level forces in that world want to curry favor with him, they can't curry favor with him."

"So Miss Tilia, what exactly do you want to say by calling us here?"

At this moment, Homura Akemi also opened her mouth and raised her own questions in confusion.

"The master has his own ideas. If he wants to refuse, then he can refuse. If the master is willing to agree... although this is unlikely, we can't object."

"That's true."

After hearing what Akemi Homura said, Eriri also reacted. Indeed, although the girl's behavior was a little strange, it was just like that. If they were summoned just for this, it would obviously be a bit of an overreaction. After all, Fang Zheng had his own considerations, and the girls also believed that Fang Zheng would make a suitable decision.

In fact, Fang Zheng was the same. With the increase of his harem, Fang Zheng also considered it and did not accept everyone he saw. Many times, he had to consider whether the other person's personality was compatible with his harem. This is why Fang Zheng finally kept a distance from Xue Cai and the others. Fang Zheng could see that with the personalities of Xue Cai and Shijie, if they got too much, they would easily become arrogant, causing dissatisfaction among others, and even a vicious cycle of competition and comparison.

Once this starts, there will be no end to it, so for the sake of harmony and stability in his own backyard, Fang Zheng will not recruit people casually now.

The girls also believed that Fang Zheng was not the kind of person who would lose his mind and become jealous when he saw a woman, and they had great trust in his judgment - of course, that was another matter if it came to the time aspect.

Tokisaki Kurumi and Akemi Homura are the best examples.

"What I mean is that maybe we should send someone to help Brother-sama deal with this problem."

Tilia still had a smile on her face, without any change.

"I'm not saying that we should drive away all the girls who get close to Brother-sama. That's impossible, right? But she insisted on getting married right away, and now according to Nymph's report, she's still staying with Brother-sama. Don't you think someone should step in now? After all, Brother-sama is a man, and sometimes it's easier for us women to step in for this kind of thing. Besides, this is also a way to show our attitude to Brother-sama, right?"

"ah……"

Hearing this, Asuna suddenly realized why Tilia had gathered these seemingly unrelated people together.

Currently in Tiandao Palace, the interpersonal relationship circle surrounding Fang Zheng can be divided into three layers. The outermost layer is those who have a good impression of Fang Zheng but have not reached the lover stage. For example, Bushi Cui, Xia Shi, and Yan Zhu are all in this layer.

In the middle, there are those who have had relationships with Fang Zheng but have no intention of marrying him. For example, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kato Megumi, Kiritani Suguha, Atalanta and others, they enjoy spending time with Fang Zheng, but are not keen on marrying him.

Strictly speaking, the relationship between them and Fang Zheng should be considered as "bed friends".

At least for now, they have no intention of becoming regular employees.

And the ones who are here right now, Eriri, Kuroneko, Asuna, Koyomi, Homura Akemi, Kurumi and Tilia, are Fang Zheng's certified "official girlfriends", which means they are sure to get married, but they are just coming one by one and the collective wedding is still to be determined.

So if you say you want to date Fang Zheng, they don’t care.

But proposing directly... that's another matter.

"But my brother won't allow us to go to that world. He also said that, to be on the safe side, he won't bring people from that world back."

Qiong was the least concerned about Tilia's proposal - her strength was basically at the bottom among the group anyway, so she didn't even consider going.

Going there would just be more trouble.

"I would like to go, but my elder brother won't let me go, so I'd better...stay here."

Xiao Hei was eager to try for a long time, but finally gave up. Although they had a good relationship with Fang Zheng, they also knew that Fang Zheng was merciless when it came to serious matters. If they deliberately went there after being told not to go, they would be scolded by Fang Zheng.

Maybe it can be pulled out directly.

"Chodori and Nevlen are clearly over there, why aren't they watching?"

Thinking of this, Eriri couldn't help but complain, and the black cat sighed.

"There's nothing we can do. After all, they are not Mr. Fang Zheng's lovers..."

"Why……"

Hearing Kuroneko's answer, Eriri shook her head helplessly.

"What do we do now?"

However, at this moment, an unexpected person stood up.

"In that case, let me go."

"Miss Kuang San?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised when they saw Tokisaki Kurumi standing up and looking at them with a smile on her face.

"Is everything okay? Mr. Fang Zheng said that the world is polluted by chaos and is very dangerous. And you still have a lot of work to do..."

"Don't worry about that."

As Kuang San spoke, the next moment, another Kuang San walked out from the shadows behind her, looking at the people in front of her with a smug smile.

"I'm already ready."
