"Oh yeah, where's Iris?" Sei Itō turned his head and asked when he realized there was one person missing in the room.
"She went shopping," C. C. replied casually.
"Tsk, she really doesn't get tired of it." Ito Sei took a piece of pizza and put it into his mouth. He said vaguely.
"You'd be the same if you were imprisoned in a place for a few years," C. C. glanced at Sei Itō and said calmly. However, her behavior made it hard to tell if she was dissatisfied with Sei Itō's behavior of stealing her pizza or if she was simply looking down on his lack of intelligence for asking such a stupid question.
"Hualala …"
It was also at this moment that a burst of noise came from the door. Then, the voice paused. Then, a young woman about 1.6 meters tall walked in. She was dressed in a pink dress with a red short-sleeved jacket. Her long brown hair was combed into a thick braid at the back of her head.
"Hey, she's back," C. C. said as she looked at the woman who walked in.
Needless to say, this person was the Iris that Sei Itō mentioned just now.
"Bang!" The door was closed.
"Oh, you're back." Iris, who had just taken off her shoes and walked into the living room, was delighted when she saw Sei Itō sitting on the sofa.
"Did you go shopping again?" Sei Itō asked with a smile.
"Mhmm, I missed being able to walk on the ground with my real body and interact with strangers," Iris said with a gentle smile on her face. Then, her expression changed slightly and she continued with a slightly more serious tone.
"But it's just as you said. This planet is brewing darkness, and it's coming from the planet itself. It wants to clean up. I really don't know what the humans here did to make the planet that nurtured them release such thoughts. "
"It can't be helped. This is the inevitable contradiction between the development of humans and the ideals of the Star Spirits. Not every planet has a kind person like you in charge of the planet's consciousness, "Sei Itō sighed helplessly.
That's right, this woman in red was the embodiment of a planet's consciousness — a star spirit!
Her full name was Iris Gainsborough. She was the personality of the planet's will in the Final Fantasy world that Sei Itō had once devoured! As for why she appeared in human form, the reason was very simple. Using a technology from the Grim Reaper world — — Artificial Skeleton, this problem was completely solved.
After all, in terms of form and nature, a Star Spirit was just a high-level evolved form of a soul and could be treated as a different kind of Grim Reaper. The only problem was that the Star Spirit's artificial skeleton needed to be specially modified, which wasn't a problem at all for Landao who had begun to master the spiritual technology of various worlds.
"Don't say that. I believe that once this world becomes part of your world, it will also change, "Iris said softly.
"I hope so. Otherwise, I will have to give it another personality," Sei Itō said with a noncommittal smile.
Then, a few days passed unknowingly.
This afternoon. In the southern town of the United States, a tall woman in a leather jacket and long pants and a pair of sunglasses pushed open the door of the Phantom Bar, which had just opened, and stepped into the bar.
"Welcome." She wore a black and white maid uniform that exposed her thighs. The waitress, Lisa, who had a pair of white stockings wrapped around her legs, said.
"Where's your boss?" The woman raised her hand and took off the sunglasses on her face, revealing her face. She asked.
"She's in the back checking the wine cellar." Lisa felt that the woman in front of her was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
"Can I trouble you to call her for me? Just say that an old friend has come to visit. "The woman smiled.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Lisa nodded and habitually greeted, then turned and walked to the back room of the bar.
The woman who stood in the same place curiously sized up the bar in front of her.
"Please have a seat, what would you like to drink?" Lisa's twin sister, Elizabeth, who was also wearing a very seductive maid uniform and long stockings, walked over and said.
The woman nodded and sat down.
"Thank you, but no need."
"Then wait a moment, King should be out soon." Elizabeth nodded and said, then turned around and continued to busy herself.
The moment she finished speaking, King, who was dressed in a dark red female outfit and had short blond hair, walked out of a small door. He looked very androgynous.
King, who came into the bar, looked around, then his eyes fell on the woman.
"You are … Chizuru Kagura?" King said with hesitation.
She couldn't help it, Chizuru Kagura's identity was too big. The heir of the Divine Artifact was not someone she, who was only a Muay Thai champion a few years ago, could compare to. Therefore, she had some scruples about Chizuru Kagura, who obviously came from a noble family. After all, anything related to the heir of the Divine Artifact was not a good thing!
For example, the King of Fighters Tournament organized by the Kagura family last year attracted Gao Nitz, who almost caused her, Mai Shiranui, and the others to lose their lives.
"That's me." The woman, who was Chizuru Kagura, stood up and smiled.
"May I know why Kagura-san is looking for me?" But even though she had scruples, she couldn't just kick her out like that. That would be too rude, so she asked politely, but she gave off a faint feeling of alienation.
"Then I'll be frank. I want to team up with you and Kagura-san to participate in this year's King of Fighters Tournament." Chizuru Kagura went straight to the point.
"This …" King's face showed hesitation.
In fact, according to her original intention, King didn't want to have anything to do with Chizuru Kagura, because that would mean that she would also have to be involved with the Hero of Eight and the Orochi Clan, which was completely opposite to King's goal of making money to raise her brother. Unfortunately, their original teammate, Tengtang Kaori, who was brought in last year to make up the numbers, had some problems and might not be able to participate in this year's King of Fighters Tournament. As a result, their team was short of one person, and they needed someone to fill in the gaps.
"May I ask why you want to participate in this year's tournament, and why did you choose me and Mai to be your teammates?" King hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.
'If I'm still involved with the Orochi Clan, even if I don't participate in this year's tournament, I can't agree to let her join my team,' King thought to himself.
"You know my identity and mission, so the reason I want to participate in this tournament is very simple. I want to see if there's a chance to seal the Orochi Clan! Based on my family's intelligence and the situation of the seal, there's evidence that the Orochi Clan will appear again! "Chizuru Kagura didn't hide anything and honestly stated her reason.
As for her identity, in the past year, although Chizuru Kagura's family had tried to downplay some things through official means, they still couldn't withstand the strong publicity from the media network controlled by Sei Itō. Therefore, it was safe to say that now everyone in the world had heard of her, Kyo Kusanagi, and Iori Yagami. They knew who they were and what mission they had. At most, they just hadn't seen their faces.
"As for the reason why I chose you guys, it's because I'm also a woman, and I want to use my identity as a woman to do something that will make men look at me differently. For example, becoming the champion of the King of Fighters Tournament, "Chizuru Kagura continued.
Her words touched King's heart. Back then, she was dissatisfied with Muay Thai's discrimination against women, and she happened to need money to treat her brother's illness. Therefore, she disguised herself as a man and participated in the Muay Thai Tournament, and finally won the championship!
"To be honest, if it weren't for the Orochi Clan, I would welcome you to join us. But unfortunately, your goal is the Orochi Clan, and this is your mission. I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, so please allow me to refuse. "Although King was tempted by Chizuru Kagura's words, he still shook his head.
Chizuru Kagura frowned when she heard that.
But just as she was about to say something, a cheerful voice sounded in the bar.
"Sister King, I'm back."
Chizuru Kagura and King turned their heads at the same time. In an instant, Mai Shiranui, who was carrying a lot of things in her hands, came into their sight.
"Hey, Chizuru Kagura, why are you here?" Mai Shiranui asked curiously when she saw Chizuru Kagura.
"I'm here to ask to join your team and participate in the King of Fighters Tournament with you." Before King could speak, Chizuru Kagura took the initiative to explain her intentions.
"Really? That's great. Our team happens to be short of one person, and we were worried about where to find a replacement. "Mai Shiranui didn't think much about it and immediately said with a surprised expression.
Hearing Mai Shiranui's words, King's face showed a helpless expression.
"What's the matter, sister King?" Mai Shiranui asked curiously when she saw King's expression.
"Forget it, that's it." King shook his head, then looked up at Chizuru Kagura with a serious expression and continued, "We can participate in this year's King of Fighters Tournament with you, but I want to make it clear that Mai and I won't get involved in the conflict between your artifact and the Orochi Clan. Please forgive us."
"Okay." Chizuru Kagura smiled.
"Welcome to the team." King extended his hand.
"Thank you." Chizuru Kagura reached out and shook King's hand.
Just like that, under the inertia of the world's correcting power, the new female team of fighters was officially formed. Then, that night, in Nantown, Mary's figure appeared in the town and went straight to Billy, who had become the leader of the men. Accompanying her was a burly man with his left hand in his trouser pocket — Yamazaki Ryuji …
