When I hurriedly dragged Qian Qian and Bubbles to the mercury lamp, the little puppet was busy doing a sport that was very beneficial to the physical and mental health and popular among the masses.
Fighting with Liliana.
The two girls, whose combined height could only reach my head, started fighting on the carpet in the living room. Mercury Lamp was pulling on Liliana's hair, while Liliana was biting on Mercury Lamp's wings. The two little lolis rolled into a ball and screamed, causing the carpet to blossom into a lily garden — — I say, Sandora, why aren't you doing anything when you're watching from the side?
"They seem to have a good relationship!"
Qian Qian had been watching from the side for three minutes when she suddenly blurted out.
I personally believe that Shallow Shallow's outlook on life needs to be remolded starting from the second grade of elementary school.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Both of you … Hey, Liliana, why are you biting me! Mercury Lamp, look carefully, this is my arm! "
I rushed to the center of the battlefield and forcefully separated the two girls. Then, I picked them up with each hand. As a result, they continued to struggle for a while. Liliana was biting on Mercury Lamp's wings, but now, she was biting on my wrist. Mercury Lamp was grabbing onto my elbow and forcefully twisting it down. I have to say, they're really strong.
"Why are they fighting again?"
I furrowed my brows as I glanced at the two girls who had finally calmed down. Due to the fight, the two of them were in a sorry state. Mercury Lamp's beautiful western dress was crumpled into a ball and the feathers on her wings were sticking out. She looked just like Alaya when he woke up. She was glaring angrily at the priestess in front of her, but when she saw my gaze, she unwillingly turned her head away and snorted coldly. Liliana's hair was a mess, her priest robe was full of fingernail marks and there were a few chicken feathers in her mouth. Now that she knew that she had caused trouble, this heartless priestess was trying her best to look pitiful and cute.
No matter how cute you act, it won't change the fact that you're a domineering elder sister!
"I think Liliana secretly drank Mercury Lamp's yogurt. I heard it when they started fighting." Sandora, who had been watching the show for who knows how long, raised her hand and snitched. Watching the two girls "play" was one of the few nasty hobbies of our queen. On the other side was the world's number one maid, Anveena. The little ghost had an ashamed expression. "I'm sorry, Master. The two young masters were too strong. I wasn't able to stop them."
I thought to myself, as long as Lina, a demigod, was involved in a fight, there would be no one in the undead circle who could stop her. Even Cirvanas couldn't withstand half a minute of Lina's "Glory of Life".
"Liliana, are you that greedy?" I tugged on a certain priest's belt and shook it in the air. "How many times have you secretly drunk Mercury Lamp's yogurt? Every time, you fight because of this. Even if you guys aren't tired of fighting, I'm already tired of stopping them!"
There was something else I didn't say: Can't you do something that matches your mental age?
"I'm idle anyway." Liliana crossed her arms in the air as if it had nothing to do with her. "Who told this arrogant puppet to always speak in such a condescending tone when it's the shortest person in the family!"
Does Jingle no longer count in the family? Do you already treat your own goddess as a pet and equipment?
Liliana unapologetically exposed my shortcomings. Mercury Lamp gritted her teeth and complained. "That stupid loli even changed the yogurt in the box with chili water!"
"…"
Liliana, did you put all your effort into this?!
I noticed that Mercury Lamp's little face was red. I thought it was because she was angry, but it turned out that it was because of the spiciness?
I could imagine the scene: The little puppet with a box of yogurt would unsuspectingly take out her royal tribute from the fridge after an afternoon nap. In a daze, she would gulp down half of the box. In an instant, her entire body would turn red from the spiciness and she would roll on the ground with tears in her eyes. Liliana, you shouldn't have done that. At least tell me when you did that. Such a precious "chairman's daily life" scene was missed just like that. Cough cough …
No one knew when Liliana and Mercury Lamp started fighting. In any case, the relationship between them had never improved. Today's yogurt war was just a typical example of their series of fights. Speaking of which, what kind of class conflict could there be between these two people of different races?
"Hey, hey." After the two kids were forced to apologize to each other on the sofa, Shallow Shallow suddenly went up to Mercury Lamp and patted her head. She asked cheerfully, "Actually, you're jealous, right? Jealous that Liliana can play around with Ah Jun like that, right? "
The puppet girl was stunned and turned her face away.
"Liliana, you're jealous that Ah Jun always comforts Mercury Lamp first after a fight, while you're thrown into the recycling bin most of the time, right?"
The priestess blinked and decisively lay face down on the sofa. "Why would I be jealous of a pillow!"
I gaped at Shallow Shallow. The latter spread her hands and said, "Solve the case!"
This girl really has an unexpectedly sharp intuition in unexpected places, but she just can't understand it when it comes to me?
Liliana and Mercury Lamp are always at odds because of this kind of thing?
At this moment, I felt like a pear was exploding. Pandora and Visca had finally reconciled, and now that they're back together, the two of you are here to join in the fun?
What's worse is, Liliana, do you really have to throw a tantrum like a child?
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I knocked the heads of these two "little girls" who were technically older than me. Then, I suddenly remembered something important. "Right, Mercury Lamp, we're planning to pick up your sisters and Hui today. We're here to ask you to come with us."
The puppet girl was stunned for a moment and then she stuttered, "So … so fast? Didn't you say that the carnival will only start in half a month? "
Bubble explained, "A portion of the world passage has already been opened, and non-inspectors can travel in advance. Rosette Maiden World is considered to be a relatively remote place from the Empire, so it's being opened as a pilot."
Mercury Lamp looked at the girl in the white dress in surprise. "Huh? I thought you couldn't speak? The one who only knows how to make sounds? "
Bubble was instantly furious. "I'm Bubble! The one who can't speak is my daughter! My daughter's father, look at me, I'm so busy with work that I've forgotten about her! "
"Alright, Mercury Lamp, you should watch your mouth too."
Of course, it was impossible for a certain puppet to not recognize Bubble. Back when she first came here, she was almost collected as a high-level figurine by the crazy otaku soul. So now, she was here for revenge. Speaking of which, Mercury Lamp, you have quite a lot of enemies.
"Hmph," The 92.3cm puppet turned her head and snorted coldly. Then, she started muttering, "You're going to look for Hui and those idiots so soon? Tsk, so troublesome … What's there to prepare … Wait, I'll go take a shower first. Stupid human, help me comb my hair and then bring some gifts for Hui. Yup, do you want to change your clothes? I haven't worn the new dress that Big Sister made for me previously, and …"
As she muttered to herself, Mercury Lamp acted as though she didn't notice the strange gazes around her. She started muttering as she flew towards the bathroom.
This fellow who didn't mean what she said. Has it become a trend for her to take the tsundere route recently?
In this day and age where the Macro World's system was getting more and more complete, the tickets for the Dimensional Hub had dropped to the price of cabbages. Going to another world was as easy as going out to buy soy sauce. We didn't have to be as cautious as we used to be, preparing for half a day and worrying about the teleportation going wrong. I told Big Sister that I would try to return before dinner. Then, together with Shallow Shallow, I dragged the little puppet who was still muttering about how to prepare and rushed towards the Space Administration.
Even though we were the leader of the Empire, we still had to go through the necessary procedures. We couldn't cause trouble for the staff of the Space Administration. Leading Shallow Shallow, Bubble, and Mercury Lamp, I obediently bought the tickets, went through the security check and took the elevator to Teleportation Gate No. 3. While waiting for the gate to open, I bought two bottles of drinks from the side. Looking at the examiners and inspectors of the Space Administration in their uniforms in the lounge, preparing to teleport or holding up signs to welcome people, sipping on orange juice, I felt that the scene before me was so familiar …
It was only later that I found out that the commander of the Empire who was in charge of the planning for the civilian use of the Dimensional Hub had been selling train tickets for two months at the train station. He had almost unified the ticket reselling market in the Asia region. If it wasn't for the Dimensional Hub's reopening and that fellow was transferred back, the Empire would have controlled the lifeline of human civilian transportation — starting from the reselling of train tickets.
Teleportation was something that I was already familiar with, so there wasn't much to say. After a short while, we appeared in an unfamiliar city.
"Teleportation complete. Wide-area interference ended. I wish you a pleasant journey."
The alloy passageway in front of us had turned into a bustling shopping street. There were many people on the street, but no one showed any curiosity towards the strange fellows who had suddenly appeared before them. It was obvious that their senses had been tampered with when we were teleporting.
"Rosette Maiden World, the official name in the files is World EF360QW77," Shallow Shallow took out a small booklet. This was the quick-start guide issued by the Space Administration to the grassroots staff. It could also allow people who were not familiar with the macro world to quickly grasp the process of using the Dimensional Hub. We could also use this opportunity to understand the daily work of the Space Administration. "Firstly, the destination of the teleportation is within a 300-meter radius of the examiners of the Space Administration."
In order to avoid trouble, Mercury Lamp temporarily pretended to be a doll and nestled in Shallow Shallow's embrace. As for why she wasn't on me, don't you think that a man hugging a doll on the streets would attract a lot of attention?
"It seems to be bustling," I held Bubble's hand while Shallow Shallow held my arm. At the same time, I muttered through the mental link, "I thought we would directly appear in the corridor of the hospital."
Choosing the coordinates for teleportation was a technical job. Normally, the Space Administration would teleport within a 300-meter radius of the examiner of the target world. However, this world didn't have any examiners. The only transmigrator from this world had already been trained to be a household doll for the Head of the Empire. So, we set the target to be within a 300-meter radius of Megumi Kakizaki. The latter had previously received treatment from the sprout of the World Tree, so her body would naturally have a stronger energy reaction than a normal person's. It was very economical to use her as a lighthouse.
When Mercury Lamp left this world, Megumi Kakizaki had just recovered from her heart disease and was still recuperating in the hospital. However, from the looks of it now, she had fully recovered. Theoretically speaking, a patient with a dying heart disease wouldn't have the energy to go shopping.
Although the contract had been canceled, Mercury Lamp and Megumi Kakizaki still had a subtle telepathic connection. Under the guidance of the puppet through the mental link, we quickly made our way to a rather deserted section of the street. Then, we saw a black-haired girl with pale skin and a skinny body, who seemed to have stayed in her room for a long period of time. However, she still looked energetic.
She was wearing a plain blue jacket and seemed to have just come out from a shop nearby. However, she was looking around with a strange expression. When she saw us, especially Mercury Lamp who was nestled in Shallow Shallow's embrace with a silly doll-like smile on her face, the girl was shocked.
She seemed to want to shout something, but in the end, she didn't make a sound. She only mouthed the word 'angel'.
"Hello, Miss Kakizaki, nice to meet you." After we arrived in front of her, I extended my hand politely. "You can call me Chen Jun. I'm Mercury Lamp's … adoptive father."
The feathers on the back of the puppet girl who was pretending to be a wooden figure immediately stood up, but they still softened.
"Miss … angel?" The girl in front of me didn't seem to realize that someone was talking to her. She just stared blankly at the motionless Mercury Lamp who was about to expose herself. After a few seconds, she finally came back to her senses and shook my hand stiffly. "Ah, that … Excuse me …"
Shallow Shallow coughed twice and put on a serious face. The playful girl used a business-like tone and said, "There are some things that are inconvenient to discuss here. If possible, I hope that you can provide a suitable place for us to talk in private."
She looked just like a leader from a relevant department. With a knock, I knew that Shallow Shallow was planning to go the route of a mysterious civil servant.
I lowered my head and looked at the Bubble who claimed to be the child's mother but looked more like a child. Yep, a civil servant who had a family to take care of.
"Then, please come to my house. There's no one at home right now."
The young girl who had come into contact with the inconceivable miracles of humans immediately understood. She looked at us curiously and extended an invitation.
"Because I was sick, my family spent a lot of money. So, my family went out to work. My body is very weak, so I can only stay at home."
After inviting the guest into the room, Kakizaki Megumi said softly with a bitter expression on her face. Even though her body had recovered, she still needed someone to take care of her. This made her anxious.
"The sprout of the World Tree contains divinity. It isn't something that ordinary humans can easily assimilate. However, looking at your complexion, your body's recovery speed should have increased recently." Sitting on the sofa, I looked at the cautious and nervous Kakizaki Megumi. "Patience is essential. Little Lamp, you can move now. Do you really think that you are a puppet?"
The puppet that Shallow Shallow had been hugging all the way immediately jumped up and sat accurately on my shoulder. She grabbed my head and began to pull me out. "Stupid human! Stupid human! Stupid human! "
Kakizaki Megumi was stunned. "Miss … angel?"
It was just a soft call, but the rose girl who was busy using violence to cover up her awkwardness immediately stiffened. Then, she jumped down lightly. "Megumi, long time no see."
"You've changed, Miss Angel."
"You too."
"Cough, cough. We have plenty of time to catch up." Shallow Shallow tried her best to keep a straight face. To outsiders, the young girl looked extremely stern. However, in my eyes, she was more adorable. "Kakizaki Megumi, female, human, 15 years old, ordinary resident of World EF360QW77. Her personal history is normal. She has no records of any dimensional crimes or world threats. Her body has been appraised to be healthy. She is able to undergo inter-world teleportation.
She has passed the examination of a high-ranking inspector. This is your invitation letter. "As Shallow Shallow spoke, she took out an envelope that she had prepared beforehand and gestured for the confused skinny girl to open it.
A transparent crystal sheet the size of an identity card with complicated patterns appeared before our eyes.
"This is made by the Space Administration. It's a low-clearance Ethereal Beacon that allows ordinary people to teleport. As a friend of the Mercury Lamp, you've been invited to a grand ceremony. The Mercury Lamp should have informed you of the situation."
"As you can see, we are the highest officials of the Space Administration." I put on a serious expression and took out a crystal card. I had wanted to try this for a long time. I took out a small piece of paper and said solemnly, "Commissioner XX, please cooperate with the investigation." It felt really cool to do something like this!
As expected, Kakizaki Megumi was stunned on the spot. Then, she looked at us in disbelief. After a long while, she took out a crumpled piece of paper hesitantly. "What is written on this, is it true?! A man in a strange military uniform gave me this, but I always thought it was a joke! "
"That should be something given to you by the special agents that we stationed in this world. I'm sorry, most of them are very old-fashioned soldiers. They aren't good at communicating with humans. However, you can ask the Mercury Lamp about the specific situation."
"Miss Angel!" Kakizaki Megumi immediately turned to the side. "Is this true? You have been in the other world, and now … you want to bring me over too? "
"Mm, well, that's basically it," Mercury Lamp said calmly. "The carnival is coming. Then, the stupid human said that I can bring my friends over to play, so …"
"I hope that you are prepared. The carnival will begin in half a month's time. However, from today onwards, the world gate will be opened to civilians. As a special guest, you have the right to enter early. Three hours later, this crystal sheet will turn blue. That is the sign of activation. A few of its simple functions will also appear. The operation is very simple. We tried our best to consider the level of civilization and the habits of the creatures in each world." Bubble explained patiently. "Of course, humans are all troublesome creatures. You might have to deal with your family, so you can come over anytime in the next few days. However, don't miss the carnival. The entrance ticket to this festival is extremely valuable. In many worlds, it has even become a treasure that humans would fight over."
That's right, it was said that the King of Fighters 2011.11 had caused an uproar. The band of hells used three extra invitations as prizes to organize the secretive Dark King of Fighters Tournament in the fighting world. It was truly a bloodbath. Bubble even wanted to send her three daughters as contestants. However, it was said that the organizers insisted that the contestants might be dozens of twins disguised as triplets in order to tire out the enemies and affect the fairness of the tournament. More importantly, the Shichaka Shrine and the others were determined not to fight with any creatures that had anything to do with the Empire, so the matter was left unsettled.
From the looks of it, Mercury Lamp still had to communicate with "Megumi" whom she hadn't seen for a long time. I could understand that. Just like what they said, the two of them had changed so much.
The cold, aloof, and distant Mercury Lamp could quietly nestle in someone else's embrace. She could affectionately sit on someone else's shoulder and play with them. She could even quarrel with others without hesitation. The sickly, depressed, and despairing Megumi Kakizaki had now recovered her health. Apart from being a little weak, she was no different from a normal human girl. Furthermore, it was obvious that this girl's heart was filled with hope after her recovery. For the two of them, this was something that required time to get used to. They needed to slowly get to know each other again. Furthermore, things like the Space Administration weren't something an ordinary person could imagine. Megumi Kakizaki had obviously treated everything as a story. Even when Mercury Lamp left, she probably thought that it was the "angel lady" using such a reason to abandon her. Of course, this was only my guess. However, it was certain that Mercury Lamp needed time to personally explain everything.
I didn't think that the chairman, who had only just learned how to write, would be able to explain anything in that messy letter of hers.
After giving Mercury Lamp enough time, Shallow Shallow and I pulled Bubble away from this place. We would pick up the puppet later.
