Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

This kind of thing is beyond our reach, so we can only leave it to Ning and the others to handle.

As evening approached, the group finally finished their tour of the Sanko Workshop. Li had seen many things that were incredibly exciting, things completely different from what he had ever known. Yet, their functions were similar to some products from Earth, although many were still in the semi-finished stages.

Li and Ning offered some advice, but they didn't get to the heart of the problem. What would be the point of telling them everything?

Even if we ignore these people, if Sanko Workshop were around, the progress of the world would still be driven by Alice and the others, right?

Only now could they catch their breath briefly, because they were about to do something important, and peace was only possible now.

“This other world is truly amazing…” Rin looked at Akihabara at dusk. “Even though there’s no sun, the scenery is exactly the same at dusk…”

This alien world with two moons is almost indistinguishable from Earth at any time. Even without the sun, this world has day and night, and the two moons always hang high in the sky.

"Ha... even if you say that, I don't really feel it." Ning sighed helplessly.

"Aren't you angry anymore?" Li asked.

"No, I wasn't planning to settle the score with you tonight." Ning revealed a chilling smile. "You already have me... why are you still looking for someone else to rely on?"

"Huh, huh!? Wait, wait a minute?!" Li hurriedly explained, "Me and Savi? I did rely on him, but speaking of which, haven't I always relied on you guys? Whether it was with Laelfa and Nao in the labyrinth, or with Olitto and Natsuki here, without them, we wouldn't be where we are today, right?"

"Hmm, the topic is drifting in your favor~" Ning turned her gaze away.

"Hey, listen to me, Ning!" Li grabbed her, preventing her gaze from wandering away. "I've always relied on you! I just feel... like I can't do anything right, I'm always holding you back... it's a little hard to accept. It was like this before, and it's like this now... I want to handle this on my own, is that not okay? Are you angry?"

“…I’m telling you,” Ning paused for a moment, “aren’t you an idiot?”

"I knew you'd say that..." Li felt like she had a bitter pill to swallow. "Just think of me as an idiot. Even if I am an idiot, I don't want to cause you any more trouble... I usually leave everything to you, and you've done so much for me... but all I can do is make you angry... This time, you're angry too, right?"

"Baka, that's not what I meant." Ning gave her a hard chop to the head. "I didn't mind if you caused me trouble or made me angry. That's not what really makes me angry. Why can't you understand, you idiot? We're family, right?"

This is the last thing Ning wants to say right now, but Li is just too cunning... too cunning indeed. How could I possibly be angry when you make that face...?

family……

Ning wanted to be with Li not for this kind of thing. She didn't want to be Li's family member or Li's irreplaceable partner.

But he was her other half...

For now, let's just give in to her...

"I still feel like meeting you was a mistake... I wish I had died in the maze back then..."

Ning was saying things that even she herself didn't know what she was saying, and only reason could make her so panicked.

"No, I didn't..." Ideal wanted to say something.

"But you idiot still saved me..." Ning stared at Li with her light blue eyes. "After experiencing so many things that a slime shouldn't have to go through, I've become strange... It seems that no matter what, I'm still destined to be a hard worker. Replacing Nao... This feeling is pretty good. It's okay to live like this a little longer... Please take care of me for the rest of my life. From now on, you have to take responsibility for me, you otherworldly person."

This was a rambling confession that even Ning herself didn't know what she was saying. It wasn't like her usual style or her usual way of speaking. Right now, she felt like she wanted to crawl into a hole, but she still wanted to hear... to hear Li's answer.

Li seemed to be confused by Ning's messy confession, but after a while, she still showed her gentle smile as usual.

"Yes! Please take care of me for the rest of my life, Ning!"

This was Li's answer, brief but containing all her emotions. It was the best answer, and the answer Ning had been waiting for the most.

"Ah, look! Ning!" Li suddenly pointed to a certain spot, "'Flame'! It's lit up!"

Looking in the direction Rin pointed, the night view of Akihabara unfolded before my eyes. Every house was lit up, a light completely different from candlelight, the radiance emanating from the crystallization of Rin and Ning.

Even if it wasn't made by my own hands, seeing my efforts blossom fills my heart with a strong sense of emotion.

The reason is the same, and so is the peace; their hearts are both slightly warm.

"Ah! It's so bright!"

Xiao, seeing the beautiful night view, happily ran over and squeezed between the two. Li and Ning smiled at each other, picked Xiao up together, and admired the night view created by their efforts.

Others also came out of Sangu Workshop. At this moment, all the staff of Sangu Workshop stopped their work and walked out of their workshop together to admire their efforts.

"Haa~ Seeing this makes me realize I can work even harder," Alice said, gazing at the night view of Akihabara. "One day I'll catch up with all you geniuses."

"Oh! Alice, you're here too! Hahaha! This! Isn't it amazing?!" Kana still clung to Alice, "Look, look! Super~ spectacular, right?! Right!? Haha! I made it all! That thing called the electrical box and that light thing!"

Kana still doesn't seem to realize that her boss is none other than Alice right in front of her. So, geniuses are all eccentrics after all...

"Oh, this is really nice, such a sight."

"Is Akihabara really that powerful?"

"Haha, of course! Akihabara is the legendary gathering place!"

Everyone mingled together, gazing at the night view and chatting about their dreams—wanting to find a wife, wanting to improve their skills, and so on. It truly reflected the dreams of craftsmen.

Although everyone has different ideas, everyone at Sangu Workshop shares the same dream: to make the world a better place and life more comfortable.

Alice is working hard for this dream, striving in place of her deceased best friend Nao, and the members of Sanko Workshop are also moving towards the future with her.

The three sisters are the same in this respect.

Having experienced all sorts of things, lost much and gained much, they still live in the present. They inherit the dreams of Rielfa and their friends and continue to move forward. This is their proof.

"Everyone! Let's go have a blast!" Alice called out. "For a better tomorrow! For the future! Let's celebrate today! This is a giant leap forward for Sanko Workshop! Everyone! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhh!"

"Thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your hard work!"

"As expected of Her Highness the Princess! Come on! Let's work overtime to our hearts' content!"

"Oh la la! I'm in top form right now! Come on! I'm going to light up the entire duchy!"

"Hahaha! Good for you! You've got guts! Let's go! Let's get to work!"

"Hey... wait a minute, I meant to invite you guys to go party! Not to make you work overtime!"

For some reason, the topic seemed to be steered in a very strange direction by the members of Sangu Workshop. Everyone headed to the workshop with great enthusiasm, and no matter what Alice said, they insisted on working overtime.

Lianli found this scene both funny and sad, as she herself had a group of people like that around her.

Then, Elise's right-hand man, Senno, stood in front of the group and blocked their way.

"What are you all trying to do?" Senno shouted. "Her Highness the Princess wanted us to experience this kind of emotion, not for us to just work here! Emotion is an important part of being a craftsman! If you know you're wrong, then hurry up and join the revelry! Revel with the residents!"

After being lectured by Senno, they all obediently followed him to the neighborhood and joined the residents in the revelry.

Alice approached the three sisters, bowed, and then silently left to join the residents' revelry. She had already conveyed her message to Li and Ning.

I'm entrusting Xia Que to you.

This is what the former princess could do: prepare for victory and for what comes after. When the time is right, Sangu Workshop will be their sharpest weapon.

Before that, Sangu Workshop needs to conserve its strength and temporarily avoid the limelight.

Even though Alice had asked him to do this, even if she hadn't said anything, Ri would have done everything in her power, like a fool, to keep moving straight toward a happy ending.

"It's like a festival celebration..." Li murmured, looking at the street.

“Festival celebration, huh…” Sevi appeared beside them without them noticing. “It’s been so long since the Duchy has had something like this… Akihabara, what a magical place.”

Savi also saw many things in Akihabara that he had never imagined before; now it seems that this is just the tip of the iceberg of this problem neighborhood.

"Do you like holidays?" Savi asked.

“Yes, that’s right… Festivals are great.” Li nodded. “Because only during festivals can we feel this kind of joy.”

"Yeah……"

After hearing Li's answer, Sevier fell into deep thought. Ning knew what he wanted to do, but perhaps that wasn't the right way for the current duchy.

“Let’s go, Ning.” Li tugged at Ning’s sleeve. “We need to get on with what we need to do.”

The four adventurers were already on their way back to the Borg Merchant Guild. It didn't matter that they were a few steps behind, because they had the convenient magic of 'time-space magic'.

"Where are you going?" Savi asked.

“Well, how should I put it… this is something only we can resolve.” Li smiled. “Savi, although we haven’t known each other for long, you’re a good person. I don’t want you to get involved in this.”

Leaving behind those words, Li and the others departed, leaving Sevi alone. At that moment, they were moving towards a brighter tomorrow, as if heading to a very, very far place.

They were no longer there, leaving only Sevi. He remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a bitter laugh.

"Is that so... After all, I'm just an outsider."

Savi laughed loudly, as if he were venting something, then flames ignited in his eyes, and he accelerated the flow of magic throughout his body.

Even so... even so, I need to make it clear to Li that I can't let go now!

That night, a rumor spread throughout the duchy about a red shooting star. The people of the duchy saw a red light streak across the city at lightning speed, and it was said to be an auspicious sign.

But who would have thought that this was just the speed at which Sevilla ran at full speed?

…… bump!

"Whoa?!"

The girl sitting behind the prince's desk was startled when the door was suddenly pushed open, causing the documents to scatter all over the floor. These were documents that had been painstakingly organized.

The girl raised her head angrily, wanting to scold the person who didn't know the rules, only to find that it was her own brother, Savi.

"Brother? What are you doing?" The girl looked at Saiwei blankly. "Why do you look like something happy happened... Hey, wait, why are you packing your things!?"

"Just you wait, little sister!" Savi quickly packed his things and laughed heartily. "I'm going to bring back your sister-in-law! The Duchess of the Principality!"

bump!

With his magic running at full speed, Savi pushed off the ground, propelling himself through the window and towards Li's side.

"...Is my brother... in a relationship?"

The girl's mood, like the messy office, became chaotic.

Chapter 33.5 Chapter

I can't find an opportunity...

No matter what, I can't find an opportunity.

Hao'er and Xia Que were trapped here and unable to leave. Licia was like a demon, clinging to them and refusing to let go. Their original plan was completely disrupted. If it weren't for his desire to rest a little longer, they might have already arrived in that country in the East.

But it was too late to say anything now; Hale's intentions had already been discovered by Lycia. Lycia was constantly by one of their sides, making it impossible for Hale to find an opportunity to break through.

Two days ago, the army began a massive retreat. This inexplicable retreat made Haul feel as if he were being escorted back to the kingdom, which was like a prison, by an army.

He knew very well that once he returned there, it would be too late, and all his preparations would be in vain.

Xia Que played along with him, always believing that Lycia knew about it but hadn't said anything. However, Lycia knew the truth and had been hindering Hao Er, preventing things from progressing smoothly.

Xia Que probably thought that Hao Er hadn't called her because it wasn't time yet. But the truth was, Hao Er already had Death's scythe pressed against his neck.

Currently, after fighting the true hero Xuanze, his body has been in a state of severe injury. Although the rest over the past few days has improved his condition, it is impossible for him to defeat the Western Kingdom in his current state.

Lycia's current strength is comparable to that of Hale at his peak, and with the addition of a holy sword, Hale's chances of winning are even slimmer.

I never imagined I'd be bound by the sins I committed in the past... Perhaps this is fate... Is this my punishment?

Hao'er chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Time ticked by, and they were escorted back to their country step by step by the army, getting further and further away from the destination that Horr had originally planned.

Hao Er racked his brains but couldn't break free from this desperate situation. Xia Que was still smiling as before; he wanted to protect that smile, but he was powerless to do so.

He was now fighting alone, battling the entire kingdom by himself, both openly and covertly. But his strength alone was insufficient to protect Xia Que, a despair he now deeply felt.

Is it already... beyond saving?

Just as Hale was thinking this, the army suddenly became restless.

"What's going on? What happened?" Xia Que asked疑惑地. "I'll go out and take a look."

“Then I’ll go with you.” Lycia stood up, seemingly having no intention of letting Xia Que act alone.

Because all of Hao'er's actions revolve around Xia Que, as long as she keeps a close eye on Xia Que, Hao'er can't go anywhere.

"Then I'll go take a look too."

Hale stood up. He felt it was time. Although it wasn't the perfect opportunity, if he missed this chance, he probably wouldn't have another one.

He was going to gamble everything on this except for Xia Que.

Whether it's the fate of humanity, his own life, or the survival of the kingdom, these are all things that Horr must now give up.

He brought along as many of his small props as possible, just in case, and tried to keep them hidden from Lycia. Then he walked out side by side with Xia Que, not giving Lycia a chance to follow.

"Xia Que, quicken your pace," Hao Er said in a low voice.

Xia Que nodded, quickened her pace, and arrived outside the tent with Hao Er. Licia remained close behind, giving them no chance.
