Chapter 103 Dinner with the Princess
"Mana." The 'Princess' did not deny it, but instead said her name with a smile.

Hui Yuanchu curled his lips and continued to challenge: "So apostles also have names?"

The blond girl opposite was not angry at all, and still maintained a calm demeanor: "There has never been such a rule that an apostle must abandon his original name."

Hui Yuanchu gave up the entanglement and asked directly: "So why did you drag me here?"

"Just being entrusted."

"Zhelukui?"

"Yes, he is your master. Since you know it well, you don't need me to waste any more words." The blonde girl continued to take a sip of red wine, "This time, we are not enemies, and I will also treat you as a guest. .”

She didn't make any move, but the half of the long table near Huiyuan was filled with food and wine in the blink of an eye.

"She is not the master, we are just partners." Hui Yuanchu retorted while carefully observing the dishes in front of him.

With his current ability, he would not be afraid even if the food was poisoned.Besides, the "princess" doesn't seem like someone who would use such despicable and disgraceful means.

In comparison, he was more concerned about what kind of ability the princess used to put these hot dishes that had just been cooked on the table in an instant without him noticing... It was like he was Like being transported to this place in an instant?
Hui Yuanchu cut off a small piece from the steak that was still sizzling and tasted it carefully... The real oily aroma, the heat was just right, and the tender meat juice burst out between his lips and teeth when he chewed it.

- Not a phantom, not a bomb.Hui Yuanchu swallowed the meat calmly and left the next step of testing to his digestive organs.

At the same time, he continued to ask: "No, actually I don't quite understand why she would ask you to do such a thing?"

"This is a show..." The table in front of the 'Princess' was still empty. She just shook the wine glass and explained with a somewhat bored expression, "If I come forward to stop you, then when the rest of the group and Sha When the night comes, you have a good reason not to show up.”

"...If you don't have this trump card against those in power, then Oruru Aoi has enough reason to order his subordinates to conserve their strength and not stop Saya."

"Under the current situation, if the group really controls Saya, then it would not be the best ending for Rukui herself."

Haiyuan's thoughts just turned around and he continued to ask: "Why is it not good for Orilu Aoi to seize Yukinoshita?"

"Haha... I don't know, because this is just my speculation. The transaction between us only goes to this step, and she is not the kind of person who will confess all her intentions. Huh? If you want to know, Why not ask your master yourself?”

"I told you that I'm not the master..." Hui Yuanchu said, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

Cooperating with the enemy after weighing the interests is indeed what Zorokui would do.Moreover, Zhe Lukui also said before that she would "arrange a follow-up", which seems to refer to the current situation.

As for the reason why Oroku Aoi let Yukinoshita Saya go, he generally knew it well.

Because with the execution of the annihilation command and the death of the ascended spirit, the true spirit will also be transferred to the flesh and blood cage of any newborn, and the semi-awakened state will be reset and fall into deep sleep again.

Although this also means the disappearance of traces of this true spirit, the group's most basic purpose has been achieved anyway.

——However, this is not in line with Oro Aoi's personal purpose.What she wants is for Hui Yuanchu to control more power through the "Creator".

The princess doesn't know Oroku Aoi's purpose... This is because she doesn't know that the person sitting in front of her has the power of the Creator.Oroku Aoi didn't even tell her teammates, let alone her enemies.

...Well, it's all very logical.So what the princess just said is generally true.Huiyuan came to a conclusion.

"Then do you know what's going on outside?" he asked.

The princess made a gesture.A translucent blue ghost attendant emerged from the air and whispered a few words beside the princess.

The blond girl listened attentively for a moment, then turned to Haihara Chu and said: "The group's STF had a round of firefights with Saya, and suffered heavy losses. Orilu Aoi has already hinted that the STF will take a passive defense. Delay for a few more hours, before dawn, She should be able to give the retreat order as soon as possible."

"By then Yukinoshita will be able to escape smoothly, right?"

"Correct."

Huiyuan relaxed and took another bite of steak: "So, I should follow Zorukui's arrangement and stay here honestly until then?"

"That's it."

"No problem." Hui Yuanchu nodded, and began to let go of his stomach to eat and drink.

The blond girl opposite looked at his behavior and was a little surprised: "...I thought you would ask Saya if she killed that person. You originally wanted to stop her, right?"

"You mean Aizawa? I don't care about her life or death at all, and she didn't ask me for help..." Haihara said nonchalantly, "The reason why I want to stop Yukinoshita is just because killing too many people is not good for her position. . But since Zhelu Kui has other arrangements, I naturally don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

"Oh?" The princess put down her wine glass and looked at Hui Yuanchu with interest, "Is that your principle? As long as you ask for help, you will respond?"

"Ah."

"Then if the person Saya wants to kill also asks you for help, which side will you respond to?"

Hui Yuanchu chewed slowly and then said slowly after swallowing: "Well. I will respond to both sides - but one thing is that my response will always be in my own way. I didn't promise that it would be It's what the seeker wants." The princess showed a thoughtful expression.

However, Hui Yuanchu put down his knife and fork, stared at the opposite side and said, "We just finished talking about business matters - now, let's talk about personal matters?"

"Private matters?" The princess frowned, a little surprised, "I don't think you have any personal matters -"

"Are you the previous one under Yukinoshita - the so-called 'master'?" Hui Yuanchu interrupted her.

"Strictly speaking, I don't have that kind of relationship with Saya...but I understand what you want to ask. Yes, it's me."

It really is you.Hui Yuanyuan thought silently.

When he learned from Yukinoshita Sayakora that there was an important and deeply hidden role in the whole story, Haihara guessed it at first - this "master" might be the princess.

The princess naturally has the ability to hide her own traces from the group's investigation.More importantly, Orilu Aoi told him that it was the "Princess" who was doing things like hindering the investigation and taking away key figures.

Perhaps as Oriuru Aoi said, the "princess" just treats everything as a game.

But even so, she still needs to prepare a "character" for herself to play.

——The mysterious master of Yukinoshita Saya, this is the role that is most suitable for a princess.

It was only revealed at the last moment that the great devil was hiding behind all the conspiracies.

He asked again: "At that time, why did you reject Yukinoshita?"

"Because I'm just a 'swordsmith'." The princess spread her hands and took a sip of wine. "I made Saya's knife for others, so of course I don't use it."

"That's why you told her to go to Lonely Hill and wait for the arrival of the real master..." But what Hui Yuanchu really didn't understand was - "Did you foresee my encounter with Yukinoshita in advance?"

Could it be that the princess can foresee her destiny to a certain extent?
...Like the "gardener" who traveled through time and space and sent greetings to Tamaki Yumiko from the depths of his memory?
Hui Yuanchu's heart tightened.

The blonde girl suddenly burst out laughing when she heard this.

He gradually bent over with laughter until he had to put down his wine glass.

She finally restrained herself and smiled at him: "I don't want to be too rude, but you are a little pretentious."

"When I prepared this knife, I didn't know who you were... I prepared it for Oroku Aoi."

"...Think about it, a cold-hearted master and a sword that gives up thinking are a perfect match, aren't they?"

——Ah, so that’s it.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I didn't expect that Orokui would choose to hand this knife to you." The princess also changed the subject, looked at him and said, "Although it is used by you, it is indeed more effective than in her hands. A big effect…”

She paused, then bent her knuckles and tapped the rim of the crystal cup a few times: "——But, Saya is a god-killing blade."

"So such an important weapon, Oroku Aoi will never give it to others with confidence."

"And yet, now you have the knife. That means you are not 'someone else' to her. Her trust in you is surprising to me, and it's the first time I've seen this happen."

……Is that so?

Hui Yuanchu frowned.

"——But, I still have to give you a piece of advice." The princess quickly changed the subject and showed a soft smile, "...the closer you get to her, the more miserable the final outcome may be. Because Oroku Aoi People will not allow anyone to stand side by side with her. She will not allow it, and neither will fate."

"Thank you, I will treat it as a provocation from the enemy." Hui Yuanchu replied without thinking.

The blonde girl laughed like a silver bell again.

"Well, I'll excuse you now." She raised her glass and took a sip.

The next moment, the girl opposite disappeared like a bubble in an instant.

Fortunately - the tent, candlelight, dining table and food are all still there, maintaining a decent hospitality for the guests.

Hui Yuanchu shrugged, took a grape and threw it into his mouth, turned around and looked to the east, waiting for the sunrise.
