Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 387 The loser in a battle should rightfully belong to the winner; Lena's irresistible charm.

"Would you like me to go hunting in the sea for you?"

Esdeath walked over at this moment and spoke after hearing Rena's words.

Upon hearing this, Lena's eyes lit up, her pupils instantly radiating light:
"Really?"

"If you're willing to lend a hand, that would be wonderful."

But then he narrowed his eyes suspiciously and looked Esdeath up and down.

"By the way, why are you being so nice to me?"

"Could he really be falling for me, the goddess?"

"Let me make this clear first, goddess, I don't have any special hobbies in that area!"

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, adopting a defensive posture.

Esdeath's lips curled into a playful smile as she slowly approached Reina:
"But I've really become interested in you, what should I do?"

Her voice carried an undeniable aggressiveness.

"Moreover, according to my rules, the loser of this battle should rightfully belong to the winner."

She leaned down slightly and whispered in Lena's ear.

"So now, I am your spoils."

When Reina heard Esdeath's words and felt the slightly warm breath on her ear, she shuddered violently as if she had been electrocuted.

She subconsciously rubbed her arms, quickly took a few steps back to create distance, and a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes.

"You're too close! Are you trying to tempt me?"

"I've already told you I don't have that kind of interest!"

Lena's ears turned slightly red; that action had been quite sensitive for her.

"Besides, I don't need your dog-eat-dog rules."

"What would I do with a trophy like you? I can't eat you!"

She pouted.

"can not eat?"

"Not always."

Upon hearing Reina's words, Esdeath slowly straightened up, her slender fingers gently brushing across her lips, revealing a meaningful smile.

"???"

"Something's not right with you!"

As Lena listened to Esdeath's words and watched her somewhat ambiguous actions, she couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.

What do you mean by "that's not necessarily true"? What do you want to do?!

The bureau chief and Gu Che stood aside, maintaining a tacit silence.

"Isn't the atmosphere a little awkward?"

The director of the Tian Shu Bureau in Zhenhai City couldn't help but think this to himself.

Although he is not young, he has been exposed to a lot of anime and manga works and movies because of the "dimensional invasion", and he has a certain understanding of what he considers to be bold things.

There are many people like this in the real world, and in the dimensional life that descended, "Rose" and "Liangbing" had this kind of relationship in the original future. "Daidouji Tomoyo" also had a similar feeling towards "Kinomoto Sakura".

But this was the first time I had ever witnessed it in person, especially since it was an interaction between two beings from different dimensions.

"Could Esdeath really be in love with Reina?"

The bureau chief asked in a low voice, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

If that's the case, it's definitely not good news for Zhenhai City; they had no reason to keep Esdeath in the first place, and if Esdeath had fallen for Reina, she would definitely have gone to the capital with Reina, so they would have even less reason to keep her there.

He glanced at Gu Che beside him and noticed that Gu Che also had a subtle expression on his face.

"It is indeed a bit unusual."

Gu Che responded softly, but a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Esdeath does have a habit of treating losers as spoils of war, but would spoils of war ever come to like the person who defeated them?
However, if we slightly adjust Esdeath's criteria for choosing a partner from the original world, Reina almost perfectly matches them:

First point: No matter what else is more important, the most important thing is to value the possibilities of the future. I hope to train myself with the goal of becoming a general.

Lena is more than just a general; she is the chief goddess of the Blazing Sun Civilization, a true queen. She shoulders the future of the entire civilization, a responsibility far more noble than the "general" that Esdeath expected.

Secondly, he has courage; even when empty-handed, he is able to hunt dangerous species with Esdeath.

Rena's strength is even greater than Esdeath's, and in terms of courage alone, she dares to face even those stronger than her, which is equally impressive.

Thirdly, like Esdeath, he grew up not in the capital but in a border region.

Lena couldn't satisfy this, since they weren't from the same world. But they had already arrived in the real world. Couldn't this kind of fate, which allowed them to meet across worlds, transcend geographical limitations?
Fourth point: He is younger than Esdeath, so that he can be easily dominated by Esdeath.

Whether or not she is in control, let's leave that aside for now. Although Lena is the chief god of the Lieyang Civilization, she is not very old, only 23 years old. Moreover, because she has been well protected by the Lieyang Civilization, she has a rare purity and innocence in her personality.

This trait is especially rare among strong individuals.

As for the fifth and most important point: it's best to have a pure and innocent smile.
Looking at Lena's "carefree" appearance, Gu Che thought that although it might not be accurate to describe this sun goddess as "pure," she did indeed possess a unique and pure temperament.

She never cares about her identity as the Sun Goddess, but instead enjoys the pleasure of being a "goddess of the masses"; she is neither humble nor arrogant when facing powerful enemies, but is also adorably carefree in her daily life.

This contradictory quality blended perfectly within her, creating an irresistible charm. The more Gu Che thought about it, the more he felt that, setting aside gender, Reina perfectly matched Esdeath's criteria for a partner.

Moreover, judging from Esdeath's appearance, she really doesn't care about gender factors.

What is this? Rena has won over Esdeath?
"What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Reina, who had just finished talking to Esdeath and told her to go "fishing" in the sea, noticed the expressions on Gu Che and the director's faces and said with some suspicion.

Before they could answer, Lena suddenly seemed to understand something and rolled her eyes speechlessly:

"You're not thinking about Esdeath and me, are you?"

"Regardless of what Esdeath thinks, I will never fall in love with her the way Morgana loves Rose!"

The director coughed awkwardly, about to explain, when he saw Lena continue speaking to herself:
"Have you all forgotten that I come from the Radiant Sun Civilization?"

"You all know what kind of atmosphere Lieyang Civilization has: rigid, conservative, and focused on tradition and inheritance."

"Don't think I'm an exception; that's only in comparison to the people of the Blazing Sun Civilization."

"On your Earth, this is nothing at all, okay?"

She pursed her lips, then her tone suddenly became serious:

"Although it's a bit strange that I still have the same old ideas about the Sun Civilization flowing through my veins, that's pretty much the gist of it."

"I have no problem with your kind of thinking; I'm just a bystander, but I can't accept being the main character in it."

"And don't you guys even think about it? Even if I really had those thoughts, would I dare to do it?"

"If Pan Zhen were to come to life in the future and find out that I found a female prince for Lieyang, he would probably be furious."

The social structure of Lieyang is similar to that of the ancient Xia dynasty, with a strict hierarchy and an emphasis on loyalty and responsibility.

In terms of clothing and ideology, they were similar to those of ancient dynasties.

Although she's rebellious, she only shows her thighs; she simply can't accept falling in love with a woman.

Moreover, even if she could accept it, Lieyang wouldn't.

Even if they didn't strip her of her throne, they would certainly imprison her for thousands of years.

Therefore, what they are thinking is simply impossible.

Upon hearing this, the bureau chief and Gu Che both showed expressions of understanding.

Indeed, from the perspective of the traditional concepts of the Lieyang civilization, such a thing is simply unimaginable, let alone permissible.

Especially as the guardian of the Lieyang civilization, the rigid and meticulous Pan Zhen would never accept such a thing happening to Lena.

"And Esdeath was just playing around."

"If she really fell in love with me at first sight because she lost to me, then the way she looks at me should be shy, not the kind of look one gives when eyeing prey she's interested in."

Lena was absolutely certain of this.

Although Esdeath's actions and words just now seemed ambiguous, she was certain that Esdeath didn't have any romantic feelings for her.

I just became very interested in her.

However, if she were a man, and he really intended to do something to her, Esdeath certainly wouldn't refuse.

After all, according to Esdeath's rule of "the loser loses everything," since she won, Esdeath is her spoils of war, and Esdeath will not refuse whatever she does to her.

They will only take everything back when they surpass her in strength in the future.

Gu Che and the bureau chief exchanged a glance, and had to admit that Lena's analysis was indeed reasonable.

Compared to Esdeath's shyness towards Tatsumi in "Akame ga Kill!", her gaze towards Rena was more aggressive and playful, as if she had discovered prey worth conquering.

"So what exactly are you guys discussing?"

"You've been whispering about this ever since I fought Esdeath, and you still haven't told me!"

Lena suddenly changed the subject, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

The director coughed lightly and exchanged a glance with Gu Che. Since Lena had asked, he no longer hid anything and told her about the topics they had discussed, as well as the plan to use a marine life-attracting device to lure Esdeath to stay.

"I thought it was something serious!"

"I'll just let her stay in Zhenhai City."

"Anyway, she's my trophy now, so she won't object to what I say."

Rena rolled her eyes after hearing this. She thought it was something serious, but it was just this? Why didn't she just let Esdeath stay?

Why would anyone need to research "marine organism induction devices"? And is it something that can be researched and developed so easily?
Is this really okay?

The director of the Tian Shu Bureau in Zhenhai City's eyes lit up when he heard Lena's words.

If Lena is willing to do that, then that would be wonderful.

"What's not allowed?"

"Moreover, although I don't think she really likes me, I'm also afraid that she might actually become clingy to me."

"If you come back to the capital with me, I have a feeling that my future will be very turbulent."

"So it's better to stay here."

Lena said with a serious expression.
