But...why is there a feeling of regret?

Helena could clearly sense that the man next to her was constantly exuding a certain charm towards her.

Although there is the attraction that comes with being a male, there is more of another feeling.

He...seemed different from anyone he had met before.

That is a thought that can be equated with mystery.

How did this come about?

"Helena?"

Ian's call brought the Theosophical girl back from her conjecture.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bitter and resentful? Are you thinking of something bad again?"

The man asked as he put the sexy panties from Helena into his clothes.

"If that's the case, maybe you can talk to me about it. If I can think of a way to help you solve it, I will definitely try my best."

"That's not true! If I had that kind of question, I would have come to you a long time ago. You don't think I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to be ordered around, do you?"

"That's good." Ian smiled slightly and easily got around the matter.

"Can I ask you a quick question?"

"...Ask." Although she had a bad feeling in her heart, Helena still said this.

And this idea soon became a reality.

Ian then asked:

"How do you feel now? It should be much cooler - at least more comfortable than before, right?"

"you……"

Although Helena wanted to refute Ian's words, she had to admit that the man was right.

After all, compared to the feeling of being in a swamp, it is naturally much more comfortable to be so lightly equipped now.

"It's indeed okay...but isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to ask this question?"

"I...feel so embarrassed!"

"Then let's change the subject." Ian naturally led the conversation in the direction he wanted.

"Helena... Since you're the Vice President of the United Kingdom, you should know how Edison became president, right?"

"I always feel that this is not as simple as I thought."

"..."

Helena didn't notice that when Ian said this, Nightingale, who was driving in front, also raised her head and looked at the rearview mirror above.

Although she still had an expressionless look on her face, her slightly furrowed brows seemed to silently reveal her current mood.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"

"Curious." Ian said directly, "We have told you our origins in detail, and we have also worked very hard to eliminate the Celtic Legion for you."

"but--"

"You seem to still have reservations about us. At least that's what Edison thinks. Otherwise, we wouldn't have never seen Edison again until now, right?"

"This one……"

Helena looked a little embarrassed.

But Ian could feel that this was not because she knew something but didn't say it, but because she didn't know.

"Actually, even if you asked me this, I wouldn't really know how to answer."

"As you can see, Edison won't ask why my robot army is equipped with such a staff, so I have no way of actively asking Edison for his reason."

"Ian..."

Helen raised her head and looked at the man beside her, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.

"Although I know my words sound a little unreliable..."

"But can you trust that I'm not lying?"

"..."

Ian smiled.

"You say that as if I'm interrogating you—but all I want is an answer."

"Since you choose to give me such an answer, then of course I will choose to believe you. Otherwise, wouldn't my inquiry be meaningless?"

"..."

Helena blinked her beautiful eyes, obviously trying to confirm whether she had heard correctly.

After she was sure she wasn't hallucinating, she spoke again:

"You have a really good personality - no wonder so many girls want to be around you."

"But if you continue like this, will there really be enough time in the day?"

"It seems like if you take care of them one by one, you'll be busy from morning till night, right?"

Seeing that Helena questioned his time management, Ian didn't want to explain anything.

"If you treat girls as emotionless objects, then you'll never have enough time no matter how you think about it."

"But the problem is—"

"They are not such cold beings... They know how to be polite to each other, how to take care of each other, how to avoid embarrassment for each other, and even when I'm not around, they maintain order."

"If you think about it this way, dealing with one person is actually equivalent to dealing with many, many people - because they will share their feelings with their best friends, ah, in this case, maybe they should be called besties."

"I'll never be short of time—because I can get everyone involved."

"..."

The man's excessive frankness made Helen at a loss for what to say at that moment.

It took her a long time to utter that one sentence.

"Well...it seems I underestimated your ability to take care of people."

"It's okay, you can slowly change this idea."

"..."

"..."

The interior of the car fell into silence again.

But this time it wasn't awkward at all, but rather a time to savor the moment after getting to know each other better.

Ian and Helena tacitly agreed to this silence until the car returned to the territory of the United Kingdom again.

But neither Helena nor Ian expected what would happen next.

Edison first gave the highest praise to the three triumphant men and awarded them honors that only battlefield heroes could obtain.

But soon he continued:

"Now that things have come to this, it's time to express my thoughts."

"I think—"

The Lion-Head President looked at the people in front of him.

"This part of the United Kingdom's history should not be repaired."

602. Nightingale's Bathroom Interrogation/The Singularity That Refuses to Be Repaired (4k)

"..."

"..."

"..."

Edison's words stunned everyone in the group, including Ian.

Especially Helena herself, she never expected that her president would say such words at this time.

“This… isn’t right!”

"Didn't we agree that as long as they help us eliminate those people from the Celtic Legion, we'll help them..."

Before Helena could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by Edison.

"Helena, when did I ever say anything like that?"

The Lion-Head President said this without changing his expression.

"Can you recall it carefully again?"

"..."

Helena thought about it and found that what Edison said was true.

From the beginning to the end, the Lion-Headed President never promised the people of Chaldea to repair the singularity after destroying the Celtic Legion.

But isn't this cheating?!

Since Helena thought so, it was natural that Ian would have similar thoughts.

He soon began in a most displeased manner;

"Edison, what do you mean?"

"You ordered us around for no reason... and then you're just going to destroy the bridge?"

"Aren't you afraid that we might do something bad to you?"

"Of course I'm scared." Edison responded to Ian in front of him, but there was no panic on his face.

On the contrary, his expression was quite calm, as if he was already the supreme president of the United Kingdom.

"But my mind tells me—"

"This is the best choice for me and the entire United Kingdom."

"Ian Pendragon, you said before that singularities need to be eliminated because they hinder the development of history and cause phenomena that shouldn't have occurred in human history, right?"

"……Um."

Ian nodded, proving that Edison's view was quite accurate.

"You're right."

"If that's the case—" Edison picked up a document and saw that it was filled with densely packed words, making it difficult to read.

"If it's proven, conversely, that so-called singularities don't hinder the progress of human history, then there's no reason to eradicate them, right?"

"..."

Ian realized something, and his eyes slowly moved from Edison to the president's documents.

Although it was difficult to read, the man still roughly understood some of the content - after all, the Lion-Headed President seemed to have deliberately made the document available in multiple languages.

"Is this... the plan for the future development of the United Kingdom?"

"Hahaha." Edison laughed, which was a kind of appreciation for Ian.

"I knew you would understand."

"That's right—I've already drawn up a two-hundred-year development plan for the United Kingdom, and I have to tell you that this plan is already halfway done."

"Halfway through?"

"Yeah." Edison nodded and snapped his fingers.

The machines in the house began to operate slowly, and then projected images of many places in the United Kingdom.

"We have achieved large-scale agricultural automation and, based on this, have developed industrial technologies beyond our imagination."

"You should also feel that the assembly line for manufacturing those war robots is unprecedented technology, right?"

"Of course, I admit that there are still many problems that we have not yet solved - but it always takes time to think and practice, doesn't it?"
