In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

Wait a minute, based on their answers, do they not know each other?

When Liszt asked, it was indeed true.

Yahiko was an orphan from a very young age and has always lived alone, while Konan was just orphaned because of the war and is trying her best to survive.

Both of them felt inexplicably transported to an unfamiliar place, where they also encountered an unfamiliar maid and lord.

So Lister had to explain the situation to the two children.

"You have encountered Uchiha Madara, a legendary ninja from the Warring States period. He has taken a liking to your talents and wants to take you as his students. However, he is a very awkward person and doesn't really care about other people's feelings."

"I'm so sorry to have startled you."

When Yahiko saw Liszt bowing and apologizing to them, he quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no, it would be my dream and my honor to learn ninjutsu."

Xiao Nan on the other side wasn't very excited; she just sat quietly, looking somewhat uneasy.

"Konan, don't you want to learn ninjutsu?"

Xiao Nan quickly denied it: "No, it just feels a little unreal right now..."

The war started suddenly, he suddenly lost his parents, and suddenly he was to be taken in as a disciple by a legendary ninja.

Lister said gently.

"Don't be nervous. Unexpected things can happen all the time in life. All we can do is adapt to them or break them."

"If there's something you can't accept, take a deep breath for a minute, clear your mind, and then think about it slowly."

"Don't run away from the problem. Clarify your thoughts. Even if you can't solve it now, you'll find a way sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Yahiko instinctively took a deep breath, and then...

“Gurgle~~~~”

He immediately covered his stomach in embarrassment.

"It is indeed dinner time now, so let's eat first and then talk."

As soon as she finished speaking, the rabbit-eared maid Nadia pushed the food cart in.

The two of them couldn't help but widen their eyes at the exquisite dishes and desserts on the food cart.

"Is...is it okay?!"

Yahiko's mouth was practically watering.

Lister smiled and said, "Of course. Don't be shy, there's plenty of food in the territory."

Xiao Nan looked at the small cake that was placed in front of her and couldn't help but swallow.

She had been rummaging through the trash for food for several days in a row, and when she saw a cake she had never eaten before, her eyes practically popped into them.

However, she did not pick up a knife, fork, or chopsticks, but instead looked at Liszt.

"Excuse me... is there anything I can do for you?"

Just as Yahiko was about to pick up his chopsticks, he heard this and quickly put them down, sitting up straight as well to ask.

"Me too! Even though I'm small, I'm still strong, and I can do things like cleaning!"

The handsome and charismatic lord in front of them has been so kind to them, how could they just take advantage of him for free?

Looking at the determination in the eyes of the two children, Lister couldn't help but feel gratified.

They are all good kids; we can't let their current blemishes ruin them.

"There are indeed things that need your attention, but the current study schedule hasn't been finalized yet, so we'll have to wait."

Study? The two looked puzzled.

"I'd like to take you on as students. Would you be willing?"

"The content I teach... I can teach anything I know."

!!!

Yahiko stood up instinctively.

"Really?! Can I really be your student?"

Xiao Nan was also very excited. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, they all felt that Liszt was better and that it was an incredible stroke of luck to be his student!

Why did they, as orphans, refuse?

Liszt smiled and nodded.

"From now on, you can call me Teacher Liszt, or just call me Teacher."

"The course starts tomorrow. I will arrange a study plan for you. Now, let's fill our stomachs first."

This time, Yahiko and Konan felt no guilt and enjoyed their meal.

Liszt also joined them, chatting with them during breaks to build rapport and explaining the current situation to them.

Gradually, it became evening.

At Liszt's request, Yahiko and Minami moved into an empty room in the castle and agreed to start class the next morning.

Lister patted the two children's heads and then returned to his office.

While still pondering, he inadvertently forgot something.

……

midnight.

Lister sat at his desk, gesturing with his fingers in the air.

He discovered another use for the system: an excellent notepad.

The recorded content is not only absolutely confidential, but can also be viewed anytime, anywhere.

Moreover, while thinking, one can occasionally relax by admiring the beautiful system fairy Nicole.

I just wish I could have another cup of black tea.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the office door was kicked open, and Lister shuddered in fright. He then saw Cortini, dressed in a semi-transparent silk nightgown, walking towards him step by step, her expression terrifyingly dark.

Oops!

He forgot that he had promised to pull radishes with Cortini that night!

Seeing Cortini strutting angrily toward him, Lister cowered into his chair in fear.

When Cortini came to him, his heart was in his throat.

"Snapped!"

Cortini pressed her hands against Lister's temples and gently massaged them.

"..."

"I heard from Nadia and the others that you're worried about those otherworldly people in the area."

"Although this matter is important, there is no need to forget to rest."

Lister relaxed, rested his head on the two firm, fleshy mounds, and sighed.

Even a fool can have a stroke of genius.

"Compared to them, I'm just an ordinary person, so I have to think more carefully."

Kotini gently bit her lower lip.

Can I see your records?

With a flick of his finger, Liszt conjured a giant white paper projection in mid-air, covered with a jumble of symbols and densely packed text.

Kotini quickly focused her attention on the two names highlighted in red: "Muzan" and "Yuri".

"Madara and Aizen are too powerful. If I want to influence their thoughts, I must first become stronger myself."

"Muzan needs my help, and as an ally, she has a lot of resources."

“As the leader of the Epsilon army, Yuri has more to consider. He won’t refuse a deal as long as the price is right.”

"If I want to acquire more resources and quickly increase my personal strength and territory's power, I can only start with those two."

Looking at the numerous draft plans recorded above, Cortini felt a pang of heartache.

Although Lister usually seems unreliable and often daydreams, he is always very thoughtful and puts in more effort than others can see.

In governing the territory, she only played a supporting role; the core leader that the territory absolutely could not lose was still Lord Lister.

Feeling guilty, Cortini continued massaging Lister until an hour later...

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!"

"Kortini, what are you doing?!"

When Liszt turned around, he saw the half-elf head steward with a resentful expression.

"Lord Lister, don't you know how important a woman's first time is?"

"How much longer are you going to stand here thinking?!"

Liszt was speechless.

"Yes...I'm sorry."

"Is 'sorry' all you're going to do?! There's still a while until dawn, why aren't you going back yet!"

"Yes!!!"

Chapter 43 Muzan Takes the Hook Again

The next morning, as sunlight streamed through the window and illuminated the entire room, Xiao Nan opened her eyes.

She sat up and patted her cheek.

She didn't dream; she no longer needs to wander!
