Do not confiscate my citizenship!!

Chapter 879 Lanqi's Lover's Tribulation
Mid-February, Valentine's Day in the southern continent.

7:15 am.

"By the way, today is the day that Priest Valentine will be executed. Why are couples celebrating today? Aren't couples afraid of being executed?"

The light blue-haired girl sat in an open-air cafe on the corner of the street, writing in a notebook and raising her long-standing doubts.

The young reporter had a magic recorder camera hanging around her neck and two work badges on her chest. She sipped her hot coffee as if she was on vacation.

In addition to being the secretary of the student union, Louvihill is also a reporter for the Hutton Times.

"Senior, aren't there a lot of flowers in the trash can every Valentine's Day? Isn't this equivalent to being executed?"

The crimson-haired Kukulka sat next to Luvisil and asked seriously.

After she transferred from the academic visiting team of Alolan Royal College to Ikerit College, she began to practice with senior Luvisil. Now she has joined the short-staffed student union and become the new secretary.

Her brother Kusai is the eldest son of Count Pacas, a noble of the Kingdom of Alolan. He was also the most powerful fighter in the third grade of the Alolan Royal Academy. He encountered an unfortunate accident when he came to Ikerit two years ago.

Until now, Kusai has been hiding at home and dared not go out. Not to mention fighting, even the approach of the servants at home would scare him, for fear that someone would beat him.

Who instigated the accident and who was the referee of the competition? There is no doubt that it was Loren, the dean of the Sage Academy.

Although she thought her brother deserved what he got, she still felt that Loren was...

If he was really a good guy as his classmates said, he would not have sat on the throne of emperor so easily. Everything seemed to be carefully planned to perfection.

"Yes, he won't be executed by guillotine like the ancient emperor Lan Yi XVI of Bosen."

Luvihill muttered to himself.

From time to time, she would naturally look toward the pedestrian plaza in the distance while sipping her coffee.

Under a big tree far away on the pedestrian street, a young man with a slightly uneasy look was standing next to a circular wooden chair.

A legendary emperor, Loren.

I don't know who I'm going to be on the line with today.

Come on, Loren, we have high hopes for you.

"Kukulka, I taught you last time that the nature of a reporter is not much different from that of a detective. When we are tracking an eighth-level expert, we cannot focus on them, otherwise we will be easily discovered. We can only appear in a commercial area that is not too far away, then hide ourselves, do our own things, and record whatever happens based on our luck."

Lu Weixier turned his head and spoke to the school girl sitting next to him.

"What about tracking a ninth-rank expert?"

Kukulka asked.

She was imposing and her deep red eyes were full of coldness, as if she could see into people's hearts.

In addition to the black and white family emblem on the school uniform, there is also a conspicuous inverted cross holy light hair ornament made of red ribbon and gold metal lining on the head.

She is also a priestess who believes in the Church of the Goddess of Fate, so she has very complicated views on Loren.

She used to respect Loren as the high priest, but later she felt that Loren was a hypocritical villain because of her brother's affairs. Then Loren really ended the war in Cremorne, and she couldn't understand Loren anymore.

"This is beyond my experience. This is also my first time tracking a ninth-level expert. Even though this is a restricted town area, Dean Loren is a law-abiding citizen who won't cast spells casually. We also need to keep a greater distance from him to prevent him from noticing our gaze. Also, don't let it be too coincidental. We're just out for fun today. Whether we run into him or not is up to chance."

Luvihill instructed fellow student Kukulka.

If you see it, you make a lot of money; if you don’t see it, you don’t lose anything.

In order to get relevant information about Dean Loren, Lu Weixier has been helping to handle the student union affairs these days. He has been trying hard to persuade President Monast and Frey, and asked everyone around him. Unexpectedly, he finally got the information from Miss Antanas, a colleague in another department of the Hutton Times Broadcasting Company.

"Senior, I remember."

Kukulka nodded, his eyes full of solemnity when he lowered his head.

"It's a pity that Frey didn't help me this time. He might as well not have come back! Otherwise, if I encountered such a thing, I wouldn't have to investigate it myself. I could just entrust him to get all the information."

Lu Weixier could see that she was very uneasy about Kukulka following her out again today to secretly dig up news, so she changed the subject and complained.

That cute junior student hasn't listened to her since he came back.

In the past, he had basically no disadvantages except being expensive. Now, money can’t buy intelligence, so it seems as if he really knows the entire itinerary of Emperor Loren.

"Is Frey-san back?"

Kukulka was not unfamiliar with this name. Before coming to Ikerit College, she had heard about the deeds of the student union of this school, and Senior Sister Luvisil and President Monaster also often mentioned him.

For example, if the student union commissions or community services are needed, as long as the president tells Frey, he can basically get it done quickly and free of charge.

As for matters outside the student union, Frey can also be hired. As long as the money is in place, he can basically get it done.

"He has disappeared even after returning. Unless you use communication magic to contact him, it will be difficult to find him."

Lu Weixier closed his eyes and spread his hands.

This guy seems to have a passive ability, and can disappear off the map and become untargetable.

"But even if Frey doesn't want to sell Loren's schedule information, I can roughly infer that Dean Loren has a high probability of going to watch the performance of "Holy War Romance - Half-Witch" this afternoon. After all, this is the perfect date venue."

Lowehill proudly took out two tickets from his pocket.

"Hey, Senior, where did you buy the ticket?"

Kukulka looked at the two semi-transparent tickets for the Ikerit Academy Theater in Luvihill's hand in surprise.

She had heard about the show a long time ago, but couldn't buy tickets.

"Please, the leading actors are my lovely junior sister Xiu and junior brother Lan, ah, Principal Lan, my great Principal Lan forever, it's easy to get the reserved tickets by looking for them."

Luvihill preached to Kukulka.

Kukulka came to the Student Union to take over the executive work of Hyperion, Lanci and others. After Lanci came back, he rarely went to the Student Union. It seemed that he was mainly responsible for the affairs of the Sage Academy entrusted by Professor Bolaio, so he almost never met Kukulka from the Alchemy Academy.

"So today, it feels like we're just out here to have fun?"

Kukulka was originally called out by his senior and was prepared to work for a whole day. Now it seems that he can have a lot of fun today regardless of whether the work is successful or not.

"That's true. Anyway, the highlight is definitely the opera in the afternoon, so we can just wander around in the morning."

Lu Weixier handed one to Kukulka and patted the school girl on the shoulder to preach.

There are two performances this weekend, both with the same content, and will be performed today, Saturday, and tomorrow, Sunday.

She got the ticket for the first show of the day.

Generally speaking, tickets on the first day are more popular, plus today is Valentine's Day.

After the first day's performance, the evaluation of the performance will likely affect the second day's ticket prices. If the first day's performance is a failure, the second day's ticket prices will plummet. If the first day's performance is particularly successful, the second day's ticket prices will be driven up to even more exaggerated prices.

"Thank you, Senior. I will be serious when I need to work."

Kukulka expressed gratitude.

"But don't hold out too much hope of finding any explosive news today. The emperor must be watching in the private box upstairs. The chances of us being able to take pictures of him are slim. There must be many media colleagues watching the stage. Unless there's a major performance accident that seriously affects the emperor, we'll be able to capture some big news."

Luvihill analyzed,

"Anyway, let's just watch the play today and don't let our imaginations run wild. It should be a performance worth looking forward to."

She didn't know why Frey had bought all the tickets for the next day.

This wave of investment may result in a total loss.

Is he so sure the show will be a success?

Luvihill didn't understand.

Frey is also a dual being, sometimes he wins big, and sometimes he loses everything.

"Hey, it seems someone is coming."

Kukulka seemed to notice a figure appearing at another corner at the far end of the pedestrian street.

She immediately reminded Lu Weixier to come back to his senses from his thoughts.

They both picked up their coffee and looked into the distance aimlessly as if they were looking at the scenery.

The end of the pedestrian street.

under the tree.

Loren has changed his clothes slightly today, so it would be difficult to recognize him unless you are very familiar with him.

He actually looked quite aristocratic, with his hair neatly combed back from his forehead.

It feels completely different from usual.

Although his face was still gentle, it had the aura of a noble young man and a domineering president. I wonder which stylist dressed him up like this.

"It feels like he can walk into the wedding hall at any time. Why is he so handsome today, Dean Loren? Is this the emperor?"

Lu Weixier secretly took two photos. Today, he could complete his work by just taking some photos of the emperor's life and reporting back to the newspaper.

“Shocking! Emperor Krelian appeared on the streets of Ikerite, apparently waiting for his mysterious girlfriend!”

She wrote out an alternative title in her notebook.

However, the woman who walked towards the big tree where Loren was was a little unexpected to them.

because--

She is not Juliana from the Kingdom of Alolan.

It was a woman they had never seen before, but who looked surprisingly familiar.

She has delicate features and fair and tender skin, and her first impression is definitely sweet.

Her lips are bright red, but it doesn't look like the effect of makeup. Instead, it seems like a natural feature of hers, adding a touch of brightness to her face, which not only sets off her fair skin, but also makes her look more lively and energetic.

She is youthful and beautiful, with an innocent temperament yet also the charm of a mature woman.

7:22 am.

Loren originally thought that the other person was waiting for someone under the tree just like him.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have mustered up the courage to walk up to him.

It seemed like he had something to say, but was too shy to say it.

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

Loren asked with concern.

He could sense the other person's inner uneasiness.

"That, that..."

She stammered and was unable to speak.

Like she was waiting for someone to guide her.

"No hurry, take your time, I'm waiting for someone, I'm free now."

Loren was more certain that she needed help and waved his hand.

Moreover, this girl made him feel inexplicably kind and friendly, and her pear-wood-colored hair was the same as his brother and his younger brother Monast.

"Loren, my name is Florence..."

Florence lowered her head and murmured.

Her ears turned red as she said this.

She wondered what Loren would think of it.

Will he be shocked? Surprised? Or delighted?

Even though Hyperion said she was beautiful, she didn't know if she was Loren's type.

As expected, Loren was stunned for half a second.

"Brother, why are you dressed as a girl?"

He asked with a relieved smile.

There was not much surprise at all, and she even looked at Florence's new look with curiosity.

"what?"

Florence looked up at Loren.

Her eyes were full of disbelief.

Why did Loren react like this? After seeing her true appearance, he still thought she was a boy?
"Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. I know you must have your own reasons for dressing up as a girl."

Loren said quickly again.

Now he finally understood why his brother was so frightened just now.

"..."

Florence held back her tears, clutched the corner of her clothes, and tried to hide her confusion with shame and embarrassment.

The embarrassment was killing her.

"Ahaha, I, I am dressed as a girl today, because, because my family might see me meeting with the emperor alone, so I sneaked out to see you and had to disguise myself."

She replied with a forced smile.

Instructor Xiao Xiu didn't teach her what to do in this situation.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she came to her senses and answered like this.

But she regretted it after she answered.

[Hugh: Miss Florence, you can't answer like that. This lie is too false. Loren will find out that you are lying and how embarrassed you are.]

Because Hyperion immediately pointed out the problem for her.

"So this is ah."

Loren nodded seriously, not doubting Florence at all.

He has another good friend who always does the same thing, dressing up as a girl when going out to avoid the spotlight.

"..."

Florence froze again.

This time it wasn't just her, there was no sound from Hyperion either.

Loren accepted her story so easily?
Florence thought that her excuse was so lame that it would be exposed in the next moment.

The result is now that she finds it increasingly difficult to say that she is a girl.

Besides, how could she prove to Loren that she was a girl?
With this back and forth, she seemed to be increasingly reinforcing to Loren the fact that they were good brothers.

the other side.

"Brother, why are you silent?"

Loren didn't know why Florence didn't speak for a long time.

He didn't ask the instructor much about the first item on today's schedule, "Meeting with Brothers".

The instructor's help was limited to giving him guidance on how to interact with girls and helping him arrange his schedule for the whole day.

【orchid:……】

The instructor did not speak at this moment.

It could be that he was unable to speak at the moment, or it could be that he was unable to speak at the moment.

Loren checked the time on his watch.

It's 7:24 now.

Later, he had to rush to the east entrance of the Golden Bee Amusement Park before 7:35 to meet the Ice Witch and have a brief chat;
Then at around 7:45, I asked the Ice Witch to line up at the amusement park under the pretext of going to buy snacks;

I went to find Juliana and have breakfast with her before the Golden Bee Amusement Park opened at 8 o'clock, and then I put her in the restaurant;

Find Florence by then, go to the VIP entrance of the Golden Bee Amusement Park at 8:10, and take Florence in;

After finding the entertainment and settling Florence, I returned to the entrance at about 8:15 to continue queuing with the Ice Witch...

Loren silently recited the itinerary arranged by the instructor. Today, every second counts. Most of the time will be spent on getting on the road. Not even half a second can be wasted, and the route planning must be correct.

Even though the instructor didn't remind him of the time issue, he couldn't just stand there with Florence without saying anything, otherwise he would miss the Ice Witch, and Artmis might already be waiting for him.

"Florence..."

Loren looked at Florence and remembered the last time he met Florence, when the instructor said he had done a good job.

The instructor had instructed him in advance that when he was not talking, he was left to work on his own, either referring to the schedule or to the successful cases he had learned last time.

So……

Loren concluded.

He stretched out his hands, pressed Florence's shoulders, and hugged her silently.

"Eh? Eh!"

Before Florence could come to her senses, Loren hugged her.

【Xiu: Huh?】

Hyperion didn't react either.

Is Dean Loren so radical?

Florence's already slow brain was about to melt down at this moment.

【Xiu: First, first, first, let’s use the opponent’s trick against him. 】

After a long time, Hyperion's voice came through Florence's communication magic, sounding a little flustered.

Hyperion didn't know what to do.

How could someone think that his soul mate is a man dressed as a woman after learning that he is a woman?! This is not normal!
[Xiu: I will hide far away from you today and follow you. I will wait and see before teaching you. You are a little bit out of position right now, so you should let go and be a little timid.]

This was the only way she could reassure Florence.

under the tree.

"Florence, I'm back. I'm sorry to have made you worried."

Loren apologized to Florence, hugging his brother tightly.

"Aba Aba..."

Florence was almost fainting in Loren's arms.

……

7:30 am.

The other side of the city-state of Ikerite.

The north entrance of Golden Bee Amusement Park.

Before the official opening, there is already a long queue here, with tourists eagerly waiting for the amusement park to open.

Despite the lack of evening light shows and fireworks, the spectacular amusement park looks lively at first glance.

The Ikerita Crown to which it belongs is the largest integrated entertainment group located in the capital of Hutton in the southern continent, including casinos, hotels, restaurants, shops and conference facilities.

This precious land located on the banks of the Yarra River has gradually been built into one of the largest comprehensive entertainment centers in the southern continent and is also a tourist attraction in Ikerit.

Since its opening, Crown of Ikrit has undergone several expansions and renovations, continually expanding its size and range of services to include more entertainment facilities, hotel rooms, dining services and amusement parks for all ages.

Especially today, which is a special holiday and a weekend, there was already a long queue at the ticket gate in front of the Golden Bee Amusement Park before it opened.

Lanqi and Talia stood in the queue, waiting for the ticket gate in the distance to open in half an hour.

"..."

Lanqi listened to the situation on the communication magic side.

Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean he doesn't want to speak.

But he was next to Talia and couldn't speak.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to help with the laning at all.

The opponent was too weak. Apart from Loren being a bit too aggressive, there were basically no hidden dangers.

"Lanqi, what are you daydreaming about?"

Talia tugged at Lanqi's hand and asked with her cheeks puffed out.

She felt that Lanqi was distracted just now.

Since you agreed to accompany her to the amusement park, you should devote your whole heart to her.

"I'm sorry, I was really busy today and didn't get a few hours of sleep yesterday."

Lanci said to Talia apologetically.

"Is this so?"

Talia observed Lanci's eyes for a while, and it was as if she saw him when he was working in the Kremer Empire.

"It's okay. We'll play some leisure activities later, and you can also lean on me on the bench and take a nap for a while."

Talia suddenly felt a little distressed. From his expression, she could tell that he might be really tired.

And he has a performance this afternoon.

Take him to relax in the morning.

Also, if Lanqi could fall asleep, she could guide Julianna later, and she also had to take some time out to teach Julianna how to date Loren.

"Thank you so much, Tata."

Lanci thanked Talia.

The difficulty on his side today is much higher than that on Loren's side. He needs to follow Loren as much as possible to understand the real-time situation on Loren's side, while also satisfying Talia and Sigrid.

Anyway, things have come to this point, and Loren chose the latter between "date one of them" and "date everyone", so he can only help Loren to the end and deal with it with all his strength.

He will definitely pass this test today.

"Meow……"

The cat boss poked his head out from the shadow under Lanqi's feet, but he didn't dare to stick it out completely, leaving only the cat's head and bright eyes exposed.

It was very scared. Lanqi's schedule was even more packed than the one at Purgatory Corridor Academy. Every detail was extremely tight. If there was a problem in any link, the whole thing would probably explode.

Lanqi's own schedule was twice as full as Loren's. While he was dating Langhu at the same time, he also had to change his position to watch over Loren and teach him how to date.

Today, the cat boss had planned to follow Planai, but he was too worried about Lanqi. At the same time, he was the only one who knew Lanqi's plan. When Lanqi was unable to do anything else, he was the only one who could help Lanqi save Loren, so he followed Lanqi anyway.

Its cat ears moved and it turned its head to look towards the distant end of the team.

I saw a leisurely figure leaning behind a big tree beside the wide road.

She didn't join the crowd to line up at all. It seemed like she was planning to wait until the line was over so that she could enter the venue without having to queue up.

And Boss Cat knew who it was——

Sigrid was wearing a beret today, looking a bit like an adult version of Sigrid, more like a boy.

She changed into a more youthful outfit suitable for traveling long distances. She tied her hair up and hid it in a hat, with a few light-colored hair falling naturally at her temples.

It won’t be so conspicuous when you play with Lanqi later, and it will be convenient to move around.

Her elegant appearance attracted the attention of many young girls.

After looking at her carefully, I realized that her face was a beauty.

Some girls looked away with a sigh, while others became even more excited.

Sigrid was chatting with the communication magic.

"Artis, don't be nervous. Don't think of this as a date between a man and a woman. If you ask, it's just business. If you ask again, it's in the name of God. I may not be able to communicate with you in real time later, but don't worry, I will help you most of the time. I was also at the Golden Bee Amusement Park this morning, and I will also go to the Brierda Opera House in the afternoon."

Sigrid preached attentively.

From time to time, she looked at the figures of Ranchi and Talia in the distant team.

She would wait for Lanci to find a chance to settle Talia and then come on a date with her.

Before that, she had plenty of time and space to instruct the Ice Witch on how to talk to her date.
