Skadi, returning to infinity

No.

"We are in a cooperative relationship."

"We will not become pawns."

"But it's inevitable that I'll use Talulah's identity and her ideas to do something."

"I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that Talulah's safety will not be affected in any way."

"If she dies or is hurt in any way, I will take her place."

Since she was using her daughter, Skadi was still very careful about that.

“There’s no need for that… I trust you won’t put Talulah in danger.”

"I just... I mean...."

Hearing her say that, Chen Qiuxu quickly shook her head. That's not what she meant. She didn't want Skadi to suffer in Talulah's place.

She wanted a different answer, one that might be even more troublesome for Skadi.

"Could you let me see Talulah...?"

"She is my daughter, and I haven't seen her for over ten years..."

"I......."

Chen Qiuxu knew this would put Skadi in a difficult position, but she really couldn't bear it any longer.

“Madam, although I would like to as well, this matter must respect Talulah’s own wishes.”

"It may not be possible to help Madam do this now, but I believe that in the future, after Talulah has fulfilled her dream, there will definitely be an opportunity."

We met.

Arranging for Madam Chen to meet with Talulah was essentially just putting Talulah in a difficult position.

Is meeting one's birth mother at this time really a good thing?

Skadi doesn't know and can't confirm it.

She could only prevent them from meeting and let them reunite at a more appropriate time later.

After all, they are mother and daughter, not sisters like Chen Huijie and Talulah.

"The future... "

The thought that she and her long-lost daughter could meet but couldn't due to various reasons made Chen Qiuxu feel downcast.

Come.

How about this...

"Madam, I will take regular photos of Talulah's life for you."

"At the same time, I will also teach her how to use [Tai Xu]."

"And you can also create a secondary account to chat with her."

"Or, start cultivating a new account now, and then I'll let her interact with your new account later."

"She treats you like an ordinary online friend, while you hide your true identity from her. Is that okay?"

Meeting in person is not an option, but chatting is still a possibility.

Skadi offered a compromise.

"...That's also acceptable."

This is indeed the best method at present.

Furthermore, by disguising himself as a complete stranger, he could gradually learn what Talulah had gone through over the years and how she was doing now.

The.

This is also to pave the way for meeting her daughter in the future, so that she knows that her mother has always been paying attention to her.

"Don't be so discouraged, madam. Some things aren't that difficult."

"Talulah isn't a difficult person to talk to, she should be fine."

"But, madam, when you're talking to her, you must control your emotions and not even express any unusual fondness for her."

"Otherwise, if she notices something is wrong, there's nothing I can do to help you."

Skadi is willing to help her, but there are some things that Chen Qiuxu needs to do herself.

She can only provide a bridge for communication; she cannot truly solve the problems between the mother and daughter.

"It's alright... as long as we can get in touch with Talulah..."

Chen Qiuxu was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

Her requirements were really not high; she just wanted Talulah to be able to chat with her.

Skadi didn't say anything more after hearing what she said.

In truth, she knew very well that, as a mother, especially someone like Chen Qiuxu who longed for Talulah's mothership day and night, it would be difficult to truly make her...

It's hard to let go of the strange feelings I have for Talulah.

As long as she cannot control her emotions, Talulah will eventually notice something is wrong.

I'll have to cover for her and help her cover up the matter.

"arrive."

Upon arriving at the training room, there were no other operators around.

This is normal; this training room is not open to the public, while other operators have their own dedicated training rooms.

Only a limited number of operators, including Shining, are allowed to enter; others are not permitted to approach.

Standing in the open doorway, Skadi looked inside.

The training room has been transformed into a desert battlefield, with sand and gravel blown up by the wind, forming tornadoes around it.

Rin and Sakura Tohsaka, panting heavily, stood on opposite sides of the battlefield, looking at each other.

It looks like they've been playing for a while now, and the winner has already been decided.

"Sister, it seems I've won this time."

Sakura, panting, gave a gentle smile and spoke first.

"Hmm, I was a little distracted. I missed the last gem, otherwise I should have won."

Rin Tohsaka put one hand on her hip, brushed the hair from her forehead with the other, and exhaled.

She wasn't too concerned about winning or losing with her sister; she was just a little dazed about her sudden lapse in concentration.

"Is your sister tired?"

"That concludes today's training."

Sakura is very well-behaved, and over the past few years, she has emerged from her past trauma.

Although still elegant and quiet, he no longer appeared taciturn and preoccupied.

Judging from the fact that she can call Rin "older sister", she is not much different from other girls.

"Rin, is something on your mind?"

"Would you like to go take a break?"

Their mother, Aoi Tohsaka, came over at this moment and used a towel to wipe the sweat from her two daughters' faces, noticing Rin's dazed expression.

"Perhaps it's just because I've been thinking about things I shouldn't be thinking about."

As they were talking, a voice came from behind them, making them all turn around in surprise.

Chapter Thirty-Six: We're Family

"elder sister"

"elder sister......"

Two girls ran over in a flash, one on each side, and grabbed her arm.

"It's only been a little over a month since we last met, and you all miss me that much?"

Skadi found it somewhat amusing that they were hugging their arms so tightly, making it impossible for her to even pat their heads.

"Of course I want to, sister. You've never been away for such a long time before."

Both girls shook their heads at the same time, and Rin directly stated the reason.

"Yeah?"

"I don't remember some of them."

Skadi thought about it and realized that she must have been absent for even longer.

However, she decided not to say anything about it; she could let those two girls think whatever they wanted.

"Sister, how long are you staying this time?"

What mission will we have next?

"Can we also become agents?"

Holding her arm, they arrived at the lounge next to the training room, where Rin continued to ask questions.

Compared to her later tsundere phase, Rin is still in her lively phase now.

“You are not old enough to be our representatives.”

"At least eighteen years old, otherwise even if you are strong enough, I will not let you be the agents."

After sitting down, the two girls leaned against her, and Skadi was able to rub their heads.

"They've always wanted to be agents, to see different worlds."

"Based on my understanding of them, Rin simply wants to travel."

"Sakura just wants to be with you all the time."
