Qian Yi had thought that Raiden Ryoma might make some excessive demands, such as asking him to stay and help fight the Honkai after killing Otto, to solve the problem with Raiden Mei's body, or to demand how much power Anti-Entropy would get after occupying Schicksal.
He had never expected the request to be so excessive.
"I know this request might be difficult, but... she is my only daughter."
Raiden Ryoma took a breath. "I have already failed as a father once. I don't want to fail a second time. I hope you can send my daughter to your world before attacking Schicksal, to let her stay in a safe place. And I will risk everything I have to fight with you against Schicksal. Even if we fail, I will risk my life to protect your departure."
This way, even if he failed, Mei could still live a happy life in a world without Honkai and Schicksal in the future.
Ryoma's speech undoubtedly resonated with many people present. This attitude of being willing to risk his life for his daughter almost brought Toyokawa Shoko to tears.
Why are they both dads, but my dad is so different from others'?
Raiden Ryoma, did you protect everyone? You are so gentle. Truly the gentlest in the world!
However,
"I refuse," Qian Yi said.
"Why? Is the reward not enough? If it's not enough, I can add more. The shares of ME Corp, the title deeds of the Raiden family, the mechs of ME Corp. If that's not enough, I can even divert funds from Anti-Entropy, and the various invention patents in Anti-Entropy's hands. I can give you all of these." Raiden Ryoma stood up, his hands on the table, his eyes wide as saucers. He was really going to risk everything, leaving himself no way out.
This Cocolia incident had made him see a lot. Anti-Entropy without a leader was a mess. The conservative faction teammates were completely unreliable. He could understand if they couldn't protect him, after all, he was a big target. But not being able to protect his own daughter, and even letting Cocolia target her and almost turn her into a weapon, was something he could not tolerate.
"It's not a matter of money."
"Not a matter of money? Then what is it? Does crossing worlds require a huge consumption? I can pay for that too," Raiden Ryoma said anxiously.
"No. I was just thinking if you should ask for Mei's opinion."
"Huh?" Raiden Ryoma had thought of various reasons why Qian Yi would refuse him, but he had never thought it would be this reason.
Mei's opinion?
What opinion could Mei have? What she should be doing is living in a peaceful world, worrying about what to eat for three meals a day, what type of person to date in college, whether to focus on marriage and love or on her career after graduation, and whether to have one child or several. These are the things she should be considering, not being in this shithole of a world, being targeted by Cocolia today and Otto tomorrow, becoming a pawn on someone else's chessboard!
As if seeing through his thoughts, Qian Yi sighed and continued, "For a daughter, the most important thing might not be a comfortable life, but the companionship of her family. You have been absent from Mei's past life countless times. Are you now planning to be completely absent from her future life as well?"
"I..." Raiden Ryoma fell silent. He knew very well that he was not a qualified father, but he had no other choice. "For me, Mei living an ordinary and happy life is the most important thing. She has the authority of a Herrscher within her. As long as she stays in this world, there will inevitably be more people targeting her in the future. So letting her stay away from this world is the best choice."
"As if other worlds are so safe," Qian Yi muttered, then returned to a serious demeanor. "Safety obtained by relying on others is ultimately just a castle in the air, a reflection of the moon in the water. If Raiden Mei cannot become truly strong on her own, then if she encounters a similar crisis in another world, will she have a second father to give her a way out and help her escape the crisis?"
"Isn't your world without Honkai?" Raiden Ryoma was stunned.
"Who told you that no Honkai means it's definitely safe?" Qian Yi felt that Raiden Ryoma was just dreaming. He gestured to Seele. "Come on, Seele, show him something."
Seele scooted over, still chewing on sashimi. "Show him what?"
"Tell him about the Stellaron, the Antimatter Legion, and the Aeons." Give this Earth native a little cosmic shock.
"Stellaron? Antimatter Legion? What are those? I don't know them. I only know the Preservation Aeon, Qlipoth."
"...." Qian Yi choked up, and then corrected her. "That character is pronounced 'Bo,' as in 'hupo' (amber)."
Damn it, I forgot you're a beggar from that poor backwater of Belobog. Your education is orphanage-level. You haven't even been to elementary school, only kindergarten!
He stuffed a chicken leg into Seele's mouth and let the child go play on the side.
"Ahem, she hasn't had much schooling, so she doesn't know much. Let me explain again."
"No, there's no need. I already feel the terror."
Raiden Ryoma wiped his sweat, trembling. Although that little blue-haired delinquent was silly, he felt he would definitely lose in a fight against her. And such a talent was actually uneducated.
Seeing her starving ghost appearance, not even recognizing wasabi, squeezing it into her mouth and then choking like the Monkey King in the first chapter of Journey to the West, she probably hadn't eaten much normal food.
Was this terrifying? Yes, it was terrifying.
Someone at my level is in such a state. I can already imagine what kind of demon and monster brawl it is over there.
Suddenly, he felt that Earth was quite safe.
"It's good that you understand." Qian Yi decided that he must find a highly educated teammate to explain these things next time!
This was too embarrassing.
After some deliberation, Raiden Ryoma said, "Mmm, then let's just pretend the matter of taking Mei away never happened. So can I make another request?"
"Please speak." Qian Yi naturally skipped over the previous topic.
"I remember you helped Kiana solve the problem of the Herrscher of the Void and successfully obtained its authority, right? Can you please help my daughter defeat the Herrscher of Thunder's consciousness and solve this hidden danger?"
"Ah no, your daughter's situation is special."
Qian Yi was about to say that the Herrscher consciousness in Raiden Mei's body was not a Herrscher consciousness at all, but her Stigma consciousness, which existed to protect his daughter. As long as she was willing to accept her weak self, she could control that power. But Raiden Ryoma had already placed the gleaming gold in front of him.
"Money is not a problem. If the Herrscher consciousness is very strong and not easy to deal with, I also have a weapon specially made to deal with the Herrscher of Thunder here."
Raiden Ryoma stood up, took out a briefcase from the cabinet and opened it. A long sword designed from the beginning to deal with the Herrscher of Thunder, the "Plasma Kagehide," was pushed in front of him along with the gold.
"Please! Help my daughter defeat the hateful Herrscher consciousness!"
Qian Yi: "...."
The cold Raiden Mei (Stigma consciousness) has turned into warm gold. Why am I having such a dream?
