"Should we let them take the 'Trojan horse' back to the base and upload it themselves?"

"Hmm~~"

Tia let out another soft moan, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt tightly, her face growing increasingly red. She glared at Valensa, bit her lip, and said:

"Suppose... among the young nobles of Fran, a new toy called a video game console suddenly becomes popular, and the only game on the console is a science fiction game with detailed settings for all sorts of technological weapons... do you think the High Mist Demons would be tempted and take action?"

"Using game consoles and game settings as cover...that's definitely a good idea!"

Valensa's eyes lit up, but she stopped massaging Tia's body, drawing a somewhat resentful and dissatisfied look from Tia. Valensa, however, didn't see it. Instead, she frowned and thought for a moment, looking somewhat troubled.

"It's a pity that the two games Wei and Wu made are both fantasy games... Are we going to have them make a science fiction game with Qingyi as the protagonist? That would take several more months..."

"So you'd better just serve me obediently, you idiot! Anyway, you're useless with your brain!"

The feeling of being massaged so comfortably only to have it suddenly stop was very uncomfortable for Tia. So she grabbed Valensa's hand and pressed it against her body, making Valensa continue massaging her. At the same time, she casually solved Valensa's problem:

"Why make a new game? Why not just choose a suitable existing game and add the Qingyi character to it? That would be much less work, right? And it's quite common... I think it's called a collaboration?"

"A collaboration? Yeah! There's even a collaboration going on!"

Valensa suddenly realized what was happening, her eyes lit up, and she was extremely excited.

"My dear, you're so much smarter than me! Let me kiss you... mua~~"

In her excitement, Valensa pounced on Tia.

"Waaah... you idiot! Stop!"

Tia tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Snap!

The ordinary wooden lounge chair couldn't support the weight of the two people and fell apart, causing Valensa and Tia to tumble onto the carpet. Their long brown and silver hair became tangled together, and their long, white legs, encased in black stockings and white over-the-knee stockings, intertwined.

The two remained on the carpet in the same position they had just fallen in, neither of them intending to get up immediately. Their beautiful eyes drew closer and closer, and they could clearly feel each other's breath.

Stick it on~~

. . . . .

About two weeks later, in the capital of France, at Sherry's Dessert Shop.

This dessert shop is quite well-known in the capital of France. It is located in a prime location, diagonally across the street from the mansion of an earl, and there are several other noble families nearby.

The dessert shop's various specialty ice creams are quite sweet and refreshing, making them a super enjoyable treat on a hot summer day... The only downside is that they are relatively expensive. It is said that one of the ingredients in the ice cream recipe comes from the deep ocean, which is unaffordable for ordinary people. Those who come to the shop are basically wealthy merchants or nobles.

The owner of the dessert shop is also a very beautiful young woman with a slender figure, fair skin, and long light blue hair. Her temperament is slightly aloof, which makes her even more pitiful.

With delicious cold drinks and beautiful girls to watch, this dessert shop is naturally very popular among young aristocrats. Groups of aristocratic youths often come to the shop to eat ice cream and, incidentally, make some not-too-outrageous jokes to flirt with the pretty shop owner.

"Miss Ava, three glasses of Blue Ice, please."

As usual, three young men dressed as nobles pushed open the door of Sherry's Dessert Shop together, sat down in a corner, and greeted the bartender in a familiar manner.

"……coming."

The beautiful young shop owner with long, light blue hair frowned slightly, but still tried her best to smile and greet the customers. At the same time, she was worried about how to deal with the customers who might secretly lift her skirt, touch her buttocks, or pull her stockings to tease her.

In the past, Ava could have remained indifferent to such harassment and teasing in order to maintain her reputation for integrity.

But not now, because Ava desperately needs these noble youths to spout more nonsense while flirting with her, revealing more information.

Because Ava is not human, but a high-level mist demon lurking in human society, just like the high-level mist demon that Valensa and her group encountered in America. Her main task is to collect intelligence on human society.

Therefore, she needed to make contact with the elite class of the human kingdom, but she dared not actually impersonate them to infiltrate their ranks, because many nobles were protected by powerful figures or were themselves powerful, and there was a considerable chance that they would see through her.

So after various attempts, Ava's final result was this dessert shop, where she gathered information by contacting the young nobles who came to the shop.

In the past, Ava maintained her image as a cool and beautiful shop owner, partly because she genuinely disliked flesh and blood creatures, and partly because she always had a cold face when customers harassed her.

But the situation is really special now.

With two of the three major natural disasters already gone, anyone could guess that the infamous Sunflower Duchess would next deal with the Mist Demon, and the Mist Demon himself was well aware of this as well.

Although Ava was very confident in her old home located on the deep seabed and couldn't understand how it could have been breached... it was the Sunflower Duchess, after all. The beasts and ghosts probably couldn't understand how they were going to lose until she completely dealt with them.

Such an outrageous existence cannot be taken too seriously, and Ava's mission is to gather as much information as possible about Duchess Sunflower.

The three young noblemen who just entered the store to make a purchase certainly have no connection with the Sunflower Duchess, nor are they qualified to be there.

However, their fathers were all members of the French military faction and were currently serving as high-ranking officers in the Allied Forces. They were people that Miss Britannia relied on and trusted, and it was possible that they knew about the Sunflower Duchess's actions and whereabouts.

Duchess Sunflower, a legendary figure and a fiery and charming female knight, is naturally adored by young people of all genders... Even though everyone knows she is engaged to the Duchess of Britannia, they still regard her as an idol and their dream girl.

Therefore, it was quite normal for the younger generation to ask their parents about the various little secrets of the Sunflower Duchess.

Duchess Sunflower was broad-minded and never cared much about these things.

Those nobles who had contact with her would often tell their younger generations about their experiences working with the Sunflower Duchess with pride and boasting.

Ava's current goal is to gain these experiences; she must quickly deduce the Sunflower Duchess's next move from various clues and prepare accordingly.

The Fog Demon is not a foolish wild beast, nor is it an arrogant and aloof ghost. It cannot simply become a stepping stone for the new legendary story of the Sunflower Duchess!

Therefore, Ava was already prepared to endure the harassment and take the opportunity to steer the conversation toward the Sunflower Duchess.

She even wore a shorter skirt, prettier lingerie, and stockings that felt smoother and better to the touch today, all for this moment.

"Three glasses of blue ice are ready."

Speaking in a clear and crisp voice, Ava carried a tray to the table where the three noble youths were sitting, placed the cold drinks in front of them one by one, and prepared herself to be harassed and teased.

However... nothing happened.

The three men who would usually try to take advantage of her verbally and physically did not even glance at her this time; all their attention was drawn to something else.

How can this be?

Ava was dumbfounded; even her soul, composed entirely of numbers and code, truly felt astonishment.

So while she was setting out the cold drinks, she also secretly glanced at the table to see what could possibly make young men stop paying attention to pretty girls.

They were three oddly shaped cuboids, about the thickness of a book, and about the same size as the makeup boxes used by noble ladies.

The rectangular object lit up, and content appeared on the screen, seemingly a kind of magical projection.

But Ava's brow furrowed unconsciously, because she knew very well that the content on the screen was not magic, but rather the same technology that their Mist Demon base used.

A technology that the Fog Demons were very familiar with, yet had completely lost.

This made Ava even more curious about the cuboids in the hands of the noble youths. She didn't even leave after the cold drinks were served, but continued to stand by the table, watching the behavior of those noble youths.

The noble youths were seen repeatedly poking at the rectangular crystal screen with their fingers, controlling the little figures on the screen to fight.

The little figures on the screen were all beautiful young girls, walking on the water with graceful movements, surrounded by various strange steel pipe-shaped weapons.

Every so often, the nozzles of those steel pipe weapons would fire in unison, unleashing powerful projectiles that tore the enemy apart.

Iron bird-like creatures also flew out from under the skirts of the water girls, forming a huge flight formation in the air, and flew over the enemy's head to carry out a blanket bombardment.

Ava was once again stunned, her mind reeling, and even her code seemed to go haywire.

What are those girls whose feet are touching the water?

What about those weapons around them?

Ava felt her core getting hot, her central information processing unit buzzing, like a husky raised in the south seeing snow for the first time, something was about to awaken.

"This...what is this?"

The image of a pure and beautiful girl could no longer be maintained, and Ava asked in a trembling voice.

"Miss Ava?"

The young noblemen seemed to only then realize that a beautiful girl was standing next to them, and the smile that Ava was very familiar with reappeared on their faces.

Before Ava could ask any more questions, the young nobleman closest to her, while secretly touching her stockings, held up the rectangular box and boasted:

"Hehe... Miss Ava is also curious about this, right? This is a gift my uncle brought me home a couple of days ago. It's a new type of magical item invented by the Allied Forces."

This is not a magical item!

Ava involuntarily cried out in her heart, but tried her best to keep her face expressionless, and pretended not to notice the hand that was tearing at her stockings:

"Magic gadgets? What are they for? Are they for you to play with?"

"Toys? No, no, no... This is much more powerful than toys!"

Upon hearing this, the young nobleman became instantly energized. He even stopped touching the stockings on the beautiful girl's legs, and instead, holding up the rectangular prism with one hand and manipulating it with the other, he began to boast to Ava as he demonstrated it:

"This is a very powerful war simulation tool. I heard it's a new invention by the Duchess of Britannia, designed to help Allied officers understand her tactical thinking more quickly and to train themselves more easily in their daily lives."

Look... this isn't just a simple toy; it has a complete design!

This is your port. You must make good use of the limited resources in the port to create these weapon girls called ship girls in order to defend against enemies from the depths of the ocean.

There are several types of ship girls, each with its own combat style. Formation and resource consumption are also factors that must be considered…

The chatter continued incessantly as the noble youths spoke at length. Ava listened with a shocked expression, though she was inwardly equally astonished.

Weapon girls known as ship girls defend against enemies from the depths of the ocean...

No matter how you look at it, this enemy is definitely a veiled reference to us, the Mist Demons, right?

And what about the ship girls? Is it the new weapon created by that Duchess of Britannia… or rather, the Sunflower Duchess behind her? Are they really going to target the Mist Demon after all? Are they currently using this kind of device to train officers?

Ship girls...

Ava looked at the girls on the screen again, their feet resting on the sea and surrounded by various weapons. Her core temperature rose once more, and her code began to malfunction for no apparent reason.

It was a powerful and beautiful kind of beauty that was so alluring that it gave Ava, who was clearly not made of flesh and blood, the illusion of a bloodline awakening.

That illusion was telling her that she was the most suitable person to become a ship girl, and that the contents of this small rectangular box could guide her and her sisters onto the right path and help them regain the powerful force they had lost.

In an instant, a murderous aura filled the dessert shop, sending a chill down the spines of the three aristocratic youths who were excitedly showing off their new toys.

But the three noble youths didn't pay any attention or think much of it... What bad intentions could a cool and beautiful shopkeeper like her have? They were probably just a little chilled by the cold beauty.

In fact, Ava did have the idea of ​​killing the three noble youths and stealing their things, but she gave up on it.

These three young nobles were all incompetent and useless; killing them was no harder for Ava than stepping on ants.

However, their fathers were all high-ranking military officers, and they likely possessed some kind of magical artifact that could save their lives... Ava wasn't confident she could kill them without making a sound.

Once a disturbance is made, even a high-level Mist Demon would find it difficult to escape in the capital of Fran, where several Moon-level experts are stationed. In that case, the exposure and sacrifice would be meaningless.

So Ava chose to wait for an opportunity.

She understood all too well the competitive nature of these young nobles; any fun new toy, unless it was particularly rare, would quickly become popular.

as predicted.

In less than half a month, that strange cuboid became the most popular new toy among the young nobles of France, and even many elderly people enjoyed playing with it.

However, the majority of customers at Ava's shop are still young male nobles.

After patiently waiting and careful planning, Ava finally found a suitable opportunity to make her move.

The target is a young nobleman named Mande, whose family holds a high title. However, he is not a legitimate son and has three capable older brothers, so he is not highly regarded in the family and has always lived a rather lazy life.

Mande clearly liked Ava; he had even sent her flowers and confessed his feelings before, but he ended up getting beaten up by the other young nobles because of it.

Those aristocratic youths meant that Miss Ava should be a work of art for everyone to appreciate, and what kind of behavior is it for you to try to sneak away? You're asking for a beating!

After being beaten up that time, Mande, who had a rather lazy personality, no longer dared to openly pursue Ava. However, he would still often come to Ava's shop alone, order one or two cold drinks, and sit there without saying a word, eating his cold drinks while watching Ava.

Just a few days ago, Mande also obtained one of those rectangular magic items through his brother who was serving in the Allied Forces, and became obsessed with it. Now, he only has eyes for ship girls and rarely even looks at his beloved Miss Ava.

Of course, even if Ava wasn't a pretty girl, the dessert shop's cold drinks were still delicious, and Mande would still come almost every other day, quietly sitting in the corner playing games.

This also made her the most suitable target for Ava.

"Your desserts have all been served. Please enjoy, Mr. Mande."

As usual, Ava carried a tray and served dessert to Mande, who was sitting in the corner.

"Thank you."

Mande looked up, gave Ava a shy smile in a gentlemanly manner, picked up a glass of iced milkshake, put it to his lips, and continued playing his Kantai Collection game.

Ava didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and walked back to the dessert shop counter, but her attention was secretly focused on Mande.

In less than 3 minutes, Mand's face showed obvious signs of drowsiness, and he kept yawning.

He hesitated for a moment, seemingly wanting to stand up, pay the bill, and leave, but that moment of hesitation caused him to miss the opportunity... He suddenly became so sleepy that he couldn't even stand up, and could only lie on the table and fall fast asleep.

The snoring attracted the attention of many other customers in the store, drawing whispered chuckles.
