Chapter 112 Covert Operation
"Then, change the rules here."
Although Peruvili still didn't understand what kind of freedom Krevy wanted, it didn't stop her from taking Krevy's feelings into consideration.
"Eh? What about you?" Navia blurted out, "We were able to meet through Brother Fontaine's door. There must be some special connection between us, right? Then we are already companions!"
"How could I, a companion, abandon you?" Navia spoke with great indignation.
Krevy clenched her fists and looked at Peruvili nervously, "That's right, Pepe, you are my best friend. You understand me better than mother does. I..."
She paused as she spoke, a strong emotion clogging her heart, and she trembled, unable to utter any further words.
Peruvili's gaze quietly shifted between the two people, finally stopping at Krevy's face. "Krevy... you should know that for me, there's nothing wrong with this place."
Before the topic went into a circle, Clorinde said calmly, "It seems that you don't quite agree with the identity of friends and companions, so—"
"Putting your own concerns aside, if we take Krevy away, what will we do with the remaining children here? Will we just let them be treated as expendable?"
Peruvili didn't let Clorinde's question distract her. She continued, "Once I change the rules step by step, I'll give the children here another choice in life—the right to choose a free and normal life, just like Krevy did."
"But as you can imagine, to become king, one must win every battle. Therefore, I will be the only one left alive in the entire Hearth House."
"This is a necessary sacrifice if you want to change the rules."
boom--
The last sentence was like a bolt of thunder in a clear sky, causing Navia's ears to buzz. She patted her numb ears, trying to wake herself up, and suddenly realized that this was not an illusion, but a real movement!
A beam of morning sunlight fell on Krevy. She looked up at the sky in surprise and reached out to catch it involuntarily.
The four little ones turned around suddenly. Ming Chong looked at them kindly and smiled shyly, "One firework isn't enough to play with, so—"
"I magnified it 50 times."
"50 times!!!" Navia rushed to him excitedly and repeated, "Do you know that this is a secret operation? A secret operation! The fireworks are 50 times bigger, they can even blow up Fontaine!"
"I know!" Ming Chong nodded. "That's why I didn't make it 100 times bigger. For your sake, I cut it in half."
Clorinde drew the sword Petronilla had given her. "Looks like there's no need to think about it. Fireworks can also attract people. I just don't know who will come first."
"Oh, it's already this late, why are you still so calm, Clorinde! Aren't you anxious at all?!" Navia was spinning around anxiously.
"I'm anxious too." Clorinde nodded. "I just don't want to spoil your fun."
"What's the fun in this?"
"Of course. After this incident is over, Mr. Cares will definitely realize that the fireworks were the rose fireworks you hid, Navia." Navia froze inch by inch. Clorinde continued, "So I don't want to ruin your fun."
“…You’ve already said it.”
"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
The roof of Hearth House was blown up into the sky. Peruvili stared blankly at the casual scene of the three strangers. To be honest, she didn't really understand what was going on.
Before she could think of anything, she felt a familiar warmth in her palm. It was Krevy holding her hand.
Peruvili turned around and saw Krevy's peaceful smile. "It's a little hard to understand, Pepe. I was also confused at first, but I figured it out quickly."
"That strange older brother might seem unreliable, but he's worthy of being the only adult here." She slowly shared her thoughts. "If you really don't know what to do, then just take action. After things are irreversibly set in motion, any action can move the story forward."
"That's probably what you think. Then we don't need to panic, Pepe. At least now, no one will need to make sacrifices."
"Whether it's you or someone else."
Peruvian watched Krevy finish her words quietly.
Just as she always had a hard time understanding Krevy's thoughts, she also didn't understand why the Fontaine man, who went by the pseudonym Leosli, would happily and affectionately call her "Little Mushroom."
Just based on her eyes and contrasting black and white hair?
Peruvian's dark eyes, unlike those of ordinary people, were replaced by a red cross. Dark and calm, she never revealed any emotion.
Still now.
"Okay. I'll wait for this ending, Krev," she said.
…
…
Standing on the roof of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, Funina noticed the stunning explosion on Mount Mansault from a distance, and after realizing it, she felt troubled.
"Ahhhh! It's like this again! Ming Chong, that bastard! After every big commotion, I'm the one who carries the burden!"
After a while of complaining, Funina gave up struggling. "Alas! I wonder what outrageous rumors will appear this time..."
She had originally thought that after visiting Funina's cottage, Ming Chong would either become interested in the Narcissus Cross Society or come to the Fontaine Academy to stock up...
I didn't expect he was going to buy fireworks to set off. Phew—that's okay—as long as I don't accidentally destroy some criminal organization, even the most difficult transnational ones, then I can easily take the blame and explain it away...
"Ah—?!" As soon as Finina opened the vortex door, she saw an open-air building and her heart skipped a beat. "Aren't you here to set off fireworks?"
"Hey! The person standing behind me is here!" Ming Chong smiled happily, raised his arms and stretched his body.
Navia was quite shocked. "Actually—it really is Lady Funina! Big brother, it turns out you really wanted to hold a banquet for Lady Funina from the beginning!"
"W-what? Banquet? For me?" Funina was flattered. She didn't know when Ming Chong became so sensible.
"Ahem... before, that was before." With Navia speaking, Ming Chong naturally pulled Funina to complain, "I just found two reliable kids to help, and then a little problem arose. Look—"
Clorinde observed the situation carefully and didn't want this immature adult to escape. He should learn his lesson, so she took the opportunity to interject.
"Yes, he was planning to kidnap all the children in Fontaine to organize a large-scale event."
"What? I knew it was a kidnapping." A smile appeared on Furninna's face, and she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that Ming Chong was fake, and she felt relieved after hearing Clorinde's words.
Yes, that’s right, this is the authentic taste.
Then the smile on her face suddenly froze. Oh no, it was obvious that kidnapping wasn't a good thing! What was she so relieved about?!
"Hey, hey! The situation is urgent now, little Clorinde, what good will it do for you to expose me?" Ming Chong hurriedly changed the subject to prevent Funina from associating with his real intention.
Judging from the other party's understanding of him, well, it's imperative to be on guard! - Although given the current situation, I don't know if I can continue with that initial idea...
Funina didn't bother to care what Ming Chong was hiding from her. It didn't matter. She was the one who would solve any problems anyway. In the end, Ming Chong would still have to pretend to be good and beg her, otherwise he would be exposed.
So, she raised her head and waved her hand, "Now tell me, what happened here and what's going on?"
"Uh..." Navia scratched her head. She was the youngest among those present. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that she didn't know much. She must not explain the situation clearly and let Lord Water God misjudge the situation.
What's more, many adults in the Thorn Rose Club didn't believe what she said. They always looked at her with eyes that said, "This child has no mother, how pitiful!" No matter how she explained that she was happy now, it was useless...
"You are the Lord Water God, right? I have seen the poster of your performance. Let me explain it to you." Krevy walked over step by step holding Peluvili's hand.
Finina nodded and became serious, looking quite presentable.
Ming Chong was trying to hold back his laughter, but then he noticed the movement behind him and restrained himself a little.
…
“W-what? I, I actually——!!!”
A transnational criminal organization!
Finina couldn't help but cover her face. "Don't be so accurate in a place like this... But I really don't have the ability to predict the future!"
"Oh, right, there's one more thing!" Ming Chong held Krevy with one hand and Peruvili with the other. "I want these two children. Also, the person in charge of this place is the mother of this little girl Roudengling. Remember to capture her alive."
state!
Unable to bear it any longer, Funina punched him on the head. "Who do you think I am? Lu Jingchi? I'm going to give you two children! And do you remember this is only the first day we met?"
"If I can't, then I can't!" Ming Chong pouted and covered his head, "It hurts! And you're still mean to me..."
"I'm mean? Haha, if I were nicer to you, you'd be going to hell!" Funina couldn't believe it. "Besides, do you know what's wrong with you? You still want to raise children, two at once! Can you take them with you?"
"Besides, Narcissus Cross Court can't take care of so many children who grew up in Hearth House and are likely to have problems in some way!"
"Also, the person in charge you mentioned is the Fatui's executive officer—" Having said this, Finina suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.
There were also Fontaine's children here, and she didn't want to show that she wasn't good at fighting. As the water goddess, she had to convince everyone that the gods had the power to protect them.
—Ahaha! I discovered it!
Ming Chong blinked, gave Funina a knowing look, cleared his throat, and said to Peruvili, "Ahem, little mushroom, I just heard you say you were willing to stay in Hearth House."
Krevy's eyes widened as she was about to follow, but Fernina held her shoulders. She looked around and saw that besides Lady Fernina, Navia and Clorinde were already standing beside her, so she reluctantly stopped.
Peruvili was silent for a moment, thinking about what Crevi said, and then she nodded.
"Well...that's easy." Ming Chong smiled. He was a lazy person to begin with, so of course he would be lazy if he could.
"So, she's your future target, right?"
With a snap of his fingers, Ming Chong threw the person he had captured earlier onto the open space in front of him.
