"...I understand, then, let's take a look at what the letter says."
He exhaled slowly and looked at the envelope in his hand. Except for some special secret places, the entire base was indeed undefended for Emilia. With Parker's help, it was not impossible to leave.
[I'm sorry, Shen Fu, for leaving so willfully. Please don't worry about me. I'm just looking for a way to regain my strength. When we meet again next time, I will definitely let you see a different Emilia. 】
The letter only contained such a short sentence in Chinese. The handwriting was neat and powerful. It could be seen that Emilia was very determined when she wrote the letter. If she just wanted to regain her strength, she could obviously ask him to help her find a solution together.
"Let the soldiers sent out to search come back. I can do this myself."
Rubbing his forehead, he had been away for six days. He could already guess where Emilia had gone. The only one who could help her regain her strength was Echidna.
"Understood. In addition, regarding the impact of the weapons factory in the heavily armored world, the Earth base has sent a recommendation report signed by General Li. Chief, please take a look first. This needs to be decided as soon as possible."
Chu Ping handed another top-secret file in his hand to Shen Fu. The main policy of Reloaded World before was decided by Shen Fu. Generally speaking, there was little interference from Li Ziping, but this time he suddenly conveyed a suggestion for some unknown reason. Report here.
"What about the weapons factory? This is also quite troublesome."
Looking at the file with "Top Secret" printed on it in his hand, Shen Fu sighed in his heart. Although he could breathe a sigh of relief after the Zhanchi World War, the tasks in front of him were still one after another, which was a bit a bit confusing at this time. I hope the next world won’t appear so soon.
So let me see what suggestions Mr. Li gave. Well, transfer important production machine tools, expand the industrial scale in the Iron City world, and partially use it to transform and upgrade the local arsenal of the earth... that is to say In the face of the opponent's menacing temptation, should we make a strategic retreat? Yes, after getting the help of that genius scientist, there are no technical problems in the construction of conventional weapons production plants, and domestic weapons also need to be consumed and upgraded... ..Why does it feel like a war?
It is difficult to cover up the sudden large-scale upgrade of the arsenal, and some weapons even jumped several generations of technological changes. However, after the news of the emergence of the space-time gate spreads, it should be restrained before the next world appears. After all, you need to be prepared. Forces to deal with the new world.
He raised his pen and wrote the word "agree" on the proposal, lowered the confidentiality level by one level, then resealed it and handed it to Chu Ping. Now the world of heavy equipment only has the most confidential information for them. Those technologies are not yet available, so it would be a good idea to slowly build up your own industrial manufacturing level.
"Okay, Chu Ping, bring the others as well...Chu Ping?"
He frowned slightly and looked at Chu Ping, who was standing motionless in front of him. He hadn't been back for a week, and he must have accumulated a lot of documents that he had to understand and sign.
"Chief...you are still worried right now. Rather than doing these things, it would be better to go to Echidna's place to have a look first."
Even though Shen Fu acted as if nothing had happened, Chu Ping still clearly felt the worry in his heart. No matter what she said, Echidona hated Emilia very much. There was no way to regain her memory and strength. I don’t know what it is. In this world that has changed beyond recognition, no one knows what kind of secret is hidden in Emilia.
"I just think...since she doesn't come to me directly, she just wants to solve it on her own."
Crossing his hands on the table, Chu Ping was right. Shen Fu was indeed worried. Wanting to get his strength back meant getting back the memories from a hundred years ago, as well as the eighth one who is still missing. The witch, plus the sealed jealous witch, and Natsuki Subaru, who has been protected by them, are surrounded by fog everywhere in front of them. Emilia doesn't want to face it alone no matter what, but... ...
"The girl said she wanted to solve it on her own and you really left her alone? Betty knows why you are single until now."
Beatrice didn't know when she started sitting in front of Shen Fu, with her hands on the table. Although she spent most of her time in the pendant, she was also paying attention to Shen Fu's every move, no matter when he If he needs his help, he will appear in front of him in time.
"This is really...a critical blow, and I am no longer single." Shen Fu smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and stood up from his seat, "I understand, then I will go to Echido first. Let’s take a look there, Betty, you can go with me.”
Since they are lovers, it is natural to accept his help. What's more, none of the things he had done to help Emilia before had been with her consent. With this thought, Shen Fu led Beatrice disappeared from the same place, and when she reappeared, she was already in the familiar prairie in the cemetery.
"Ah la - you come here more and more often. Have you become obsessed with me?"
A familiar voice rang in her ears. This time, Echidna did not sit dignifiedly on the tea table as usual. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Shen Fu's neck from behind and pressed against his back tightly.
"Amelia has been here, right? Where is she?"
Without saying any unnecessary nonsense, after deciding to come over, he couldn't help but want to meet Emilia.
"Is the first question you asked the half-elf?"
With a light touch on her back, Echidona slowly left Shen Fu's body, sat on the tea table, turned her head and looked into the distance, her long hair as white as snow flying in the breeze of the grassland.
"Now, to you, what am I? An immortal and lustful witch? A ghost who has been dead for four hundred years? Or just a tool to answer your questions?"
She still didn't turn her head, but Shen Fu saw an expression of loneliness, sadness, and unwillingness on her side face. This was the first time he saw Echidna like this.
"I think... there are more tools. If I can't answer those questions for you, you probably won't come here again... It doesn't matter, even if it's just a tool, I'm happy. Really, a person has stayed in such a place for four hundred years and can only hold on to his own memories every day. It was not until you came that my world gained new brilliance."
Echidna turned her head and stared at Shen Fu with her black eyes, filled with emotions she had never seen before. The whole world was eclipsed by this brilliance.
Is this...a confession?
