The reason Eirin Yagokoro didn't continue to find trouble with Lancer was partly because of Kaguya Houraisan continuous persuasion, and the other reason was that the sentence Lancer said left her not knowing what to say for a time. After all, Lancer had already proven many things with facts.
He proved his strength, his determination, and his willingness to withstand the pressure from Tsukuyomi to help Kaguya Houraisan...
But just when Eirin Yagokoro felt she was almost unable to suppress herself from choosing to agree, Lancer next sentence made the veins on her forehead pop.
"Anyway, I have less than half a year before I have to leave."
When Lancer said this, Eirin Yagokoro felt like she was looking at a scumbag, but fortunately, Lancer words weren't finished.
"When trouble first breaks out, normal people will be relatively angry. Kaguya, you just stay here temporarily and wait. When I leave, I'll go and proactively show my face. Then, when 'Tsukuyomi' attacks me, I'll directly run away. At that time, you just tell him directly that you were kidnapped by me. Presumably, he wouldn't blame you either. And as for me, the culprit, being 'reduced to ashes' by him would probably vent quite a bit of his anger."
Lancer plan could be said to be very perfect, so perfect that Eirin Yagokoro didn't know what to say, but there was one huge problem.
"You think you can survive under Tsukuyomi's attack? He and I are not the same."
When she said this, Eirin Yagokoro's mood was complex. As a native of the moon, she had opposed Tsukuyomi leading the lunar people to settle on the moon back then. But the problem was that while their raw strength might be similar, Tsukuyomi, as the "Moon God," after being strengthened by the power of the moon, was someone even she wouldn't dare say she could go fifty-fifty with.
Eirin Yagokoro's words did remind Lancer, but after all, this was something half a year away; Lancer wasn't worried at all.
Finally, with Kaguya Houraisan guarantee and Eirin Yagokoro personally signing a strict "contract," Eirin Yagokoro also gained her freedom, and incidentally received a nurse uniform personally gifted by Lancer.
When Lancer took out that set of clothes that fit Eirin Yagokoro's figure almost perfectly, both Eirin Yagokoro and Kaguya Houraisan looked at Lancer with strange eyes.
So at this time, although Eirin Yagokoro still found Lancer unpleasant—as unpleasant as seeing a badger trying to steal melons from one's field—at least she was no longer as full of killing intent as before. After all, Lancer had already proven himself with his actions.
At this moment, receiving Lancer affirmative answer again, Kaguya Houraisan also showed a gentle smile.
Seeing the smile Kaguya showed, although Eirin Yagokoro felt happy from the bottom of her heart, she felt a bit unpleasant again seeing Lancer standing next to her.
'Tsk~'
But while the three were interacting, Lancer suddenly heard a system prompt.
"Side Mission: Princess Kaguya Troubles ③————Complete"
"Mission Reward: 15 Favorability Points"
"Current Favorability: 60 (Why did Lancer help me so much?)"
The system's prompt also confirmed Lancer guess. Previously, he had thought of that "trial" thing for Kaguya Houraisan, but the mission hadn't settled then. But now it had settled. So indeed, the person themselves had to completely give up hope.
'It seems Mokou should have left. The Boatman officer went in, right?'
Thinking this, Lancer also stood up.
"It should be about done over there with Mokou. I'll go pick her up."
"Mhm."
Because the external saying for Kaguya Houraisan, or "Princess Kaguya," was that she was taken back to the moon by the Lunar Envoys, Kaguya Houraisan had to hide for a while. Not many people knew she still remained on the ground, and Mokou was one of them.
Until Lancer left the room, the people in the room all had faces of curiosity.
'Just how did Lancer know?'
On this side, the mindset was stable, because whether it was Lancer or Kaguya Houraisan and the others, they were actually discussing things that had been determined before; it was nothing more than re-confirming. But the other side was different.
If the change in Fujiwara no Mokou appearance only made Fujiwara no Fuhito surprised, then when Fujiwara no Mokou told him what had happened to her, Fujiwara no Fuhito was completely stunned.
First, Fujiwara no Fuhito didn't know that he was actually the illegitimate son of the previous Emperor. After all, his "adoptive father" was a subordinate deeply trusted by the Emperor at that time; otherwise, it would have been impossible to support his reforms. So when he heard Fujiwara no Mokou say she had the "Amaterasu" bloodline, he was completely stunned.
After all, the story about "Emperor Monmu being the descendant of Amaterasu Omikami" had actually always been circulating. This was why the Emperor had always been the "leader" of Japan (Japan)—at least a leader in name for later generations. Fujiwara no Fuhito also knew about this, which meant——————
'He was cuckolded by his own son-in-law?'
He was almost in a state of total confusion. And not only was Fujiwara no Fuhito in a state of confusion, Fujiwara no Mokou expression was even more conflicted. When she woke up, her consciousness was actually in a blurred state, especially when she saw a circle of familiar youkai around her, and the bald-headed Lancer was smiling and saying to her "Your aptitude is very good," she was even more at a loss.
Then Lancer briefly explained her situation to her, such as her "bloodline," and that the medicine she just took had actually turned her into a "Hourai Person." After that, Lancer didn't say much, just let her digest it slowly by herself, until just now when Fujiwara no Fuhito woke up and Lancer called her over. Only then did she recover from her silence.
Now that she had said everything she knew, she didn't know how to react for a time.
Lancer told her that now she was an "immortal Hourai Person." This should have been something worth being happy about, but thinking that she had no blood relation (mistakenly) with her father, she didn't know what to say.
But just as the room fell into silence because of this "explosive" news, Fujiwara no Fuhito was the first to recover from his daze.
"Mokou, today, I'm a bit tired. You go and rest first too..."
Fujiwara no Fuhito couldn't be said to dote on Mokou, but he was of the relatively caring type. After all, it is precisely because one doesn't expect too much that one won't be disappointed. But now, hearing Fujiwara no Fuhito words with a slight unnaturalness, her expression also became a bit shaky.
"Yes... Father."
Hearing Fujiwara no Mokou slightly trembling voice, Fujiwara no Fuhito originally free and easy expression became conflicted again, but in the end, he didn't stop Fujiwara no Mokou gradually receding back.
But just then, there was another knock on the door. When Fujiwara no Fuhito saw the Boatman officer, he had to put away his somewhat tired expression and try hard to make himself look normal.
"Officer Funahashi, you... what do you need with me?"
When the Boatman officer saw him, he also froze for a moment because he discovered that the current Fujiwara no Fuhito seemed to look different from usual? But after hesitating repeatedly, he grit his teeth.
"Lord Fujiwara, actually there is something I must report to you."
"Speak."
At this time, Fujiwara no Fuhito felt he was already in a sage state. He... had nothing left to fear.
"Actually, tonight, the 'Lunar Envoys' from the moon took 'Princess Kaguya' away... Lord Fujiwara?! Lord Fujiwara!!"
