Simultaneous Transmigration: Minor Characters Don't Be Cannon Fodder

However, Erii, with her white hair, wasn't particularly dissatisfied with the current situation.

Rather, this is exactly the situation she wanted to see.

The appearance of Xia Mi, in particular, showed her someone she could win over.

The assistance of a monarch was enough for her to kill Herzog in the midst of the chaos and then retreat safely.

"Hehe, Daiya-sensei, come obediently into my bowl!"

The next day, in the morning, Akihabara.

Affected by the events of the past few days, the entire Akihabara area appears deserted, with visitor traffic down by nearly 90%.

Even the once-popular maid café on the street has become much less appealing.

However, Erii didn't seem to care too much about it.

Following the white-haired Erii's directions, she obediently went to the maid café.

I ordered a chocolate soufflé and enjoyed it while waiting for someone to arrive.

Through the mental network, early this morning, the white-haired Erii sent an invitation to a certain King of Earth and Mountains who had been playing games all night, inviting him to meet here today.

I estimate that they should appear in another ten minutes or so.

Sure enough, ten minutes passed.

As Erii swallowed the chocolate soufflé completely, Natsumi finally came into view.

Then, the white-haired Erii demanded control of the body, ordered two more slices of tiramisu, and watched with a smile as Xia Mi walked into the store and stood in front of her.

"Nice to meet you, Izanami."

Xia Mi pulled out a chair and sat down, her eyes warily fixed on the white-haired Erii, her keel constantly taut.

Xia Mi was extremely wary of the White Monarch.

The fully evolved White King is an older and higher-level being, almost on par with the Black King Nidhogg.

Even now, Erii's white hair is not yet fully developed.

But compared to her, who was even more disabled, she was undoubtedly much stronger.

The white-haired Erii was completely unconcerned about Xia Mi's wariness.

She simply pushed the ordered tiramisu in front of Xia Mi, then smiled slightly, gesturing for her to enjoy it.

"Hello, Jormungandr, or rather, Miss Xia Mi."

"Don't be so nervous, I mean you no harm."

"You don't need to call me Izanami. I stopped using that name a long time ago. Just call me Uesugi Erii."

"Here, have a taste. I just ordered it, but I don't know if you'll like the matcha flavor."

Xia Mi didn't touch the tiramisu that was being pushed towards her.

Instead, he placed his hands on the table, interlaced his fingers, and stared intently at the white-haired Erii.

"Ms. Uesugi, let's skip the formalities and get straight to the point."

"What exactly did you call me here for today?"

This morning, she was invited by the white-haired Erii, which terrified her.

Based on the information she received from Kassel, she originally thought that the White King was still unconscious.

But to their surprise, the other party was already waiting for them in Tokyo.

It seems that the strange noises coming from the seabed off Japan were just bait set out by the person in front of her, and she was the fish that took the bait.

"Hehe, it seems Miss Xia Mi is quite impatient."

"That's fine too. I don't really like beating around the bush either."

"In that case, let's get straight to the point."

As she spoke, the white-haired Erii put down her fork and leaned forward slightly.

"My main purpose in inviting you here is to establish cooperation and alliances."

"An alliance?"

Xia Mi paused for a moment, then pointed to herself.

Dragon kings have formed alliances before, but all those alliances were made before the Black King died.

Since the Black King's death, there has been no longer the suppression of a common enemy.

Due to their congenital physical defects, the eight original race members, except for the twin brothers, have always been hostile to each other.

They hope that one day they can devour each other and complete themselves.

So when Natsumi suddenly heard the white-haired Erii propose an alliance, she felt like she had heard the most absurd joke.

"Izanami, did you summon me here to tell me jokes?"

"Between kings there is only bloody slaughter."

"As a higher-ranking White King, you actually propose an alliance with a crippled fellow like me?"

"Doesn't that sound ridiculous?"

Xia Mi questioned in a cold voice.

"Hehe, why do you think I'm joking?"

"Unlike you, I am the White King."

"I was neither branded with the mental mark of 'the throne cannot coexist' by Nidhogg, nor did I need to devour other dragon kings to complete my body."

"So fighting you won't bring me any benefit, so why not choose to form an alliance?"

The white-haired Erii smiled and asked in return.

"Uh..." Xia Mi choked for a moment.

It was only then that she remembered that, as the first dragon king to be born, the White King had not been given any "design flaws" by the Black King.

Unlike other dragon kings who are suspicious of each other due to instincts in their blood, she does not need to devour the dragon bone cross to complete her power.

So why would she be hostile to herself?

Thinking of this, Xia Mi tapped her fingers lightly twice on the table.

Then he picked up his fork, cut off a piece of tiramisu, and put it in his mouth. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, like a mixture of envy and sorrow.

"Tell me, how do you want to collaborate?"

"What other bargaining chips do you have?"

Xia Mi sighed and said.

Seeing that Natsumi had relented, the white-haired Erii revealed a satisfied smile.

She picked up her coffee, took a sip, and then said leisurely.

"My bargaining chip is a piece of information concerning your and your brother's life or death."

"What I want in cooperation is for you to stop Odin behind me before I kill a gutter rat."

"Cough...cough..." Upon hearing Erii's words, Natsumi almost choked to death on the tiramisu she had just stuffed into her mouth.

"What? You want me to stop Odin?"

"Really?"

Xia Mi pointed at herself, her face showing disbelief.

What makes her so special? The White King actually wants her to stop Odin; is he really not hoping she'll go and die?

That was a fully-fledged dragon king; how could her little Jormungandr possibly contend with it?

Seeing Xia Mi's terrified expression, the white-haired Erii couldn't help but smile.

Then she pressed her palm down, indicating that the other person didn't need to panic.

"Don't worry, I don't intend for you to intercept Odin's true form."

"With me here, that guy can't directly appear in Japan. At most, he can only enter using a clone."

"With your current strength, you should be able to hold that guy off for a while."

"And don't you want to know what that message about your and your brother's life or death is?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's fork stopped in mid-air.

She remained silent for a long time, until the fork had completely destroyed the tiramisu, before she raised her head to signal the white-haired [Eri] to continue.

If it's just an avatar of Odin, then she's not too afraid.

Although she may still not be a match for him, she can still manage to stop him if it's just a matter of blocking him.
