Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

"Hey...should I put on...clothes?"

Yoshino tilted her head cutely.

"Isn't it because Feng is here that I don't have to hide anything? Everything I have...already belongs to Feng."

"That's not the case..."

Shikimori Feng picked up the blanket on the sofa helplessly and walked to Yoshino and put it on her.

"In this state, you can only not wear it at certain times, otherwise I can't stand it."

"I can't stand it..."

Shion's big eyes were filled with deep doubts.

But she didn't delve into it further and just threw herself into Shi Shoufeng's arms like a spoiled child.

"Feng~Feng~Listen to me, I feel like I've become stronger now~ Can I help you now?"

Upon hearing this, Shikimori Kaede smiled and pinched Yoshino's delicate face that was like a porcelain doll.

"Yes... Now Yoshino will live with me forever, so please give me your guidance in the future."

"Please give me your advice!"

Shiono smiled coquettishly.

Then she thought about it and squatted down.

?

Who knew that she nodded and the guy said with the same smile.

"you too!"

......

Chapter 100 Liaozi's Determination

Perhaps it was because of his complete approval of Shiki Morikaze.

After Shikimori Kaede completely conquered Yoshino, Yoshino's personality became much more optimistic and cheerful.

No...it should be said that this is the normal attitude. Although I am still a little timid about contacting outsiders, it is a qualitative improvement compared to the beginning.

The existence of Yoshina has also successfully transformed from being the key to accompany and protect Yoshino to a condition for whether Yoshino can release her abilities.

Of course, all this can only be done with Shikimori Kaede's permission.

----

The AST combat base itself is located in a complex of high-tech buildings on the edge of the city, surrounded by an intricate defense system, ready to deal with sudden alien threats at any time.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the half-open curtains, casting patches of light on the neat and slightly serious office.

"Knock knock knock."

The knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

"report!"

"Come in."

Liaozi sat behind a large desk, with a barely perceptible worry between her brows. Her eyes wandered aimlessly among the pile of documents on the desk, and she responded with a heavy heart.

As the doorknob turned gently, a man wearing the unique blue uniform of the Information Department slowly walked in. This unexpected visitor made Liaozi look up involuntarily, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Because the person standing in front of him was actually a member of the Information Department, which was quite unexpected at this point in time.

The Information Department is a core department responsible for monitoring and analyzing all data related to alien elves. The sudden visit of its members often indicates important intelligence.

"What's matter?"

Liaozi's voice was calm and steady, trying to hide the turmoil in his heart.

"Captain, according to our most sophisticated detection system, we found that the signal from the codenamed Hermit suddenly disappeared completely after a period of irregular fluctuations and obvious energy shielding."

When the subordinate reported, there was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"Disappeared?"

Liaozi's voice rose slightly, revealing an uncontrollable surprise.

"Yes, there was no sign of it, it was as if it had evaporated from our monitoring network."

Hearing this, Liaozi's brows couldn't help but frown, and a heavy atmosphere quietly spread around her.

Regarding the disappearance of the elves, two traditional possibilities came to her mind.

One is that the elves were annihilated by them and life disappeared from this world.

Second, after a certain period of time, they return to their own world here.

In the past, such a situation was not difficult to judge, but now, due to Shiki Morikaze's irresistible existence, Liaozi's mind unconsciously added an unprecedented option - whether the elf was really successfully subdued by Shiki Morikaze as he said, and thus out of the scope of conventional tracking.

This new speculation was like a huge rock thrown into the lake of her thoughts, causing ripples one after another.

"team leader……?"

The subordinate's voice was as thin as a mosquito, carrying a trace of imperceptible worry, floating gently in the air.

He looked at Liaozi cautiously. His furrowed brows seemed like a dark cloud pressing on his heart. He didn't dare to disturb her easily, but he had to speak because he got no response.

Liaozi withdrew his gaze from the void, with complex thoughts flashing in his eyes.

"Hmm... I understand..."

Liaozi's voice was low.

"Just continue to be vigilant, and don't worry about the rest."

"Yes!"

The men responded quickly, their voices filled with awe.

Seeing the door closed again, Liaozi unconsciously reached out and pinched his temples with just the right amount of force. It not only relieved the headache caused by long-term thinking, but also seemed to remind himself that facing the difficulties at hand, any negligence could be fatal.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a name kept echoing in her mind -

"Shiki Shoufeng... who on earth are you?"

This question was like an unsolved mystery, lingering in her mind and could not be shaken off.

Liaozi sighed softly, and that long sigh contained too many indescribable emotions - helplessness, confusion, and a hint of subtle frustration.

To her, Shiki Shoufeng's existence is like the farthest star in the night sky. Although she knows it exists, it is still out of reach and she cannot grasp its true appearance.

After all, from common sense, if you want to establish a connection with Shikimori Kaede, using origami as a bridge is undoubtedly the best choice.

As they are classmates, communication between them should be smooth and unimpeded.

However, reality is always full of helplessness.

It is a well-known secret that Origami has a deep hatred for elves, the depth of which has never been seen before and will never be matched.

Allowing Origami to come into contact with Shikigami Kaede would undoubtedly be like handing the sharpest blade to the enemy, with disastrous consequences.

Origami will most likely resist out of instinct, and not only will she not help, but she may take extreme measures and desperately destroy everything, making the already chaotic situation even more complicated and difficult to resolve.

As for killing Shoufeng?

Liaozi had thought about it, but she rejected it the next moment.

After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes the scene where this seemingly harmless boy who had been threatened by her had half of his body destroyed by bullets and then revived with full blood.

Not only will this not be able to kill Shiki Morikaze, it might even become a reason to anger him, right?

In this complicated web of love, Liaozi knew very well that every step had to be taken with caution. If she was not careful, it might trigger a chain reaction and push everyone into an unknown abyss, especially... herself.

At this moment, she had to find a way to get close to Shikimori Kaede without touching Origami's sensitive nerves.

But after thinking it over, Liaozi could only think of one method...

"No way... in the end, I have to go by myself? No... I should say, can I go? I treated him like this last time. It's a relief for me if he doesn't hate me, right?"

Liaozi couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, but she had to make up her mind.

This is not only for Tiangong City, but also for so many brothers and sisters in the AST force.

In the fight against the elves, they suffered too many losses. Liaozi really didn't want to see any more of their own people sacrificed. They were all living lives.

If you want to solve this dilemma, undoubtedly the best way is to win over Shou Feng!

As long as we can draw on his power, no one will be sacrificed, right?

Thinking of this, Liaozi's eyes were no longer confused.

She leaned one hand against the floor-to-ceiling glass and looked into the distance.

"I will do whatever it takes... to take you down!"

Take a day off today

Run is traveling. I will update tomorrow. As the title says. Hehehe.

Chapter 101 Liaozi is looking for

Ever since making Shiono submit to him willingly.

The days became increasingly peaceful, and the mysterious girl who had appeared once seemed to have evaporated without a trace.

And Shiki Morikaze began to live a campus life like an ordinary person.

It has been a long time since I came to this world.

From the beginning, Shi Shoufeng kept reminding himself not to fall into such a virtual world. Now he is constantly discovering the beauty of the elves. The weirdness in it makes Shi Shoufeng himself feel helpless.

Fortunately, the ultimate goal of Shoufeng has not changed, and his determination to conquer this world has not wavered.

The only thing that changed was his attitude toward the elves.

“Be careful on the road.”

Now Shikimori Kaede has moved into the Elf Apartment, and Tohka has joined her.

At this time, Yoshino was standing at the door looking at Shikimori Kaede like a lovely newlywed wife.

Looking at Shion's cute appearance, Shikimori Feng smiled and pinched Shion's face.

"You too, remember to contact me if you have any questions."

"Yes...I will..."

Looking at Yoshino's submissive appearance, it would be a lie for Shikimori Feng to say that he was not proud. He resisted the urge to bully Yoshino severely and left the Elf Apartment.

Shikimori Kaede has been quite free these days. As Tohka becomes more and more accustomed to human life, she is not as dependent on Shikimori Kaede herself. Since yesterday, she has even set a goal to go to school alone.

"I can't always rely on Feng, I want to become someone Feng can rely on!"

Tohka patted her chest and said so confidently.

"Ah...but people are really mean? I'm actually a little uncomfortable with it?"

Shiki Shoufeng was walking alone on the road, and he felt a little uncomfortable without the koala by his side.

"laugh--"

"The sharp sound of brakes suddenly broke the tranquility of the early morning, like a discordant note in the morning light.

Just as Shi Shoufeng was about to cross the road, a black car stopped in front of him with a sharp brake sound.

Shi Shoufeng frowned slightly and looked at the car, obviously not knowing what the owner of the car wanted to do.

At this time, the car window slowly lowered, and Ryoko, wearing sunglasses, appeared in Shikishou Feng's sight.

"I'm sorry, I can't think of a better way to find you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Liaozi apologized.

Shi Shoufeng looked at Liaozi who took the initiative to show weakness. Even though he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, he could hardly say those complaints when faced with the other party's sudden goodwill.

His expression was slightly helpless, and he nodded, with a hint of compromise in his tone.
