what happened?
Why does this female Gilgamesh seem even more ferocious than that narcissist? He instinctively cowered, which doesn't make sense! He wasn't afraid of Gilgamesh back then.
"Hmph!" Shan Shan ignored everyone and turned back to Ma En's side.
"Remember your promise. If you dare to renege on your promise again, don't expect me to take action against you again," he said, looking at Ma En with a chilling gaze.
"I know, you still don't trust me? I've never really renege on a debt, I'm just delaying it a little. Don't worry, I won't run away with you."
Maren responded with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
It seems that Niang Shanshan's foodie nature is becoming more and more obvious; she's really picky about food.
Well, this time, with his mother's help, Ma En still used the allure of delicious food.
It feels like ever since she arrived, her mother, Shan Shan, has awakened her foodie nature, or rather, she has been conquered by her delicious food.
But that's good too. When I need something from her, it's easier to talk to her, and at least she won't immediately refuse.
"Hmph, that's for the best."
As she said this, her mother, Shanshan, looked around with a look of disgust.
"I'm going back. It's really unpleasant to stay here."
It wasn't that she disliked Fuyuki, but there was really nothing fun to do in this ruined Fuyuki. Staying there would only be boring, so she might as well go back to Ma En's personal space, where at least all the facilities were available.
Without saying a word, Ma En waved his hand and took the defenseless Niang Shanshan into his personal space.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their mother, Shan Shan, had left.
This female hero queen is incredibly imposing.
With her around, people are afraid to even breathe loudly, lest they anger her.
Actually, it's not that Niang Shanshan is much better than other Shanshans.
It's just that I've been staying in Marx and Eng's personal space for too long, feeling cooped up and not in a good mood.
Plus, I finally managed to get out of town, only to find the outside world in such a hellish scene, ruining my plans to relax, so I'm feeling a bit down.
Therefore, although the formidable enemy Hercules was defeated, the atmosphere on the scene was not joyful, but rather somewhat awkward.
"In short, it's a good thing that we've taken care of the enemy, so let's get going now."
Seeing this, Cú Chulainn casually stepped forward and made a suggestion.
No one objected to this.
So the group set off again, but stopped again after walking for a short while.
It's not that another enemy has come, but that we're tired and need to rest.
Cú Chulainn, Marne, and Mash are alright, but Olga Marie and Gudako's constitutions are still similar to those of ordinary people.
Gudako, in particular, had engaged in strenuous exercise before arriving at Singularity 440, and since arriving here, she has been constantly running and walking, resulting in a significant expenditure of her physical strength.
With our destination already in sight, there really wouldn't be any time to rest if we went any further.
In order to prepare for the battle to come, everyone stopped to rest.
"Sorry, I've held everyone back."
Gudako leaned against the tree root, panting heavily, and said apologetically.
"Stop talking nonsense and get back to health."
Olga Marie rubbed her legs to catch her breath, then stood up and looked at Marne, saying, "Come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."
"Mm." En nodded, not refusing.
Seeing this, Olga Marie took the lead and walked into the nearby woods.
"You guys just rest here. If the dog dares to do anything bad, just yell and I'll come back and beat him up."
"Hey! Can you not say such things in front of me?" Qiu Lin complained speechlessly.
Marne shrugged, turned and followed Olga Marie into the depths of the woods.
Seeing this, Cú Chulainn looked at Mash and Gudako.
He saw two maids watching him warily, and his eyes twitched slightly. He turned and leaped onto a nearby treetop to keep watch.
Chapter 227 Chaldea spectators grinned like doting aunts: A! A!
Mashu and Gudako breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Mash, sit down too. You must be tired."
"No need, senior. I'm fine. After fusing and becoming a demi-Servant, my stamina is quite strong."
"Then consider it keeping me company. Otherwise, I'll feel a little guilty if you're standing while I'm sitting."
Seeing this, Mashu hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Gudako.
"That's right."
Gudako smiled happily upon seeing this, and subtly moved closer to him.
……
Now let's talk about Marx and Engels.
He followed Olga Marie into the depths of the woods, and they stopped after walking about two hundred meters.
Olga Marie turned around and looked at Marne with a somber expression, saying, "Come and tell us, what else are you hiding from us?"
"I didn't intentionally try to hide it. After all, everyone has their own little secrets that they wouldn't willingly reveal."
Ma En shrugged and leaned against a tree.
"If there's anything else you want to know, you can ask. If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know what you're trying to get me to say?"
Olga Marie stared intently at Marne: "That's everything, of course. What else are you hiding? I want to know."
“That won’t do.” En shook his head upon hearing this.
“You’re too greedy, Mary. This involves my personal privacy. After all, there are some personal secrets that I would tell my family.”
Olga Marie frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, but Marne smiled and continued, "Although I know you must be feeling very insecure right now."
"I want to gain a sense of security by learning other people's secrets and thoroughly understanding them."
"However, this direct way of asking questions won't work."
"If you really want to get to know me, you can try becoming my family."
Even if you become family, they might not tell you.
After all, humans are creatures that are accustomed to maintaining relationships with lies and masks.
Sometimes, even the closest family members have aspects they don't want their family to know, aspects they need to hide, and little secrets.
For example, even the best-loving couples might secretly save money behind their partner's back.
This isn't because the relationship between the two is bad; sometimes it's because the relationship is too good, and both sides know each other too well, which can actually make them feel insecure.
Moreover, keeping a few secrets is a way to ensure personal space and a manifestation of territoriality.
All of these factors make it clear that humans really dislike completely exposing themselves and need to leave something behind that others don't know, in order to feel safe.
Marne thought of so much in an instant, but Olga Marie was stunned, and then her face turned red.
"Who's insecure! It's the one who's insecure!"
"Who wants to be your... family or anything? You're an idiot (Baka Ganeno)!"
Having her little scheme exposed, coupled with a touch of shyness, Olga Marie immediately lost her temper again.
Clearly, she misunderstood the meaning of Marx and Engels's use of the word 'family'.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. The meaning of "become family" in Japanese is somewhat ambiguous, especially when it's said between men and women of the same age, it's easier for people to misunderstand.
Actually, it wasn't just Olga Marie who misunderstood.
Even the Chaldea staff, who overheard the conversation between the two through their wristbands, misunderstood the situation.
Especially after hearing Olga Marie's proud yet shy remark, they couldn't help but smile like doting aunts.
Some were even saying, "Just agree to it!" or "Get him! Get him!"
They really love making a big fuss over trending topics.
That makes sense, after all, rumors about Marne and Olga Marie in Chaldea have been circulating for quite some time now.
Aside from initial curiosity, people were mostly delighted and genuinely hoped the two would get together.
Olga Marie was getting on in years; it was time for her to get married.
The staff at Chaldea usually had no interest in Olga Marie, the director, but when it came to her, they all turned into "old fathers" and "old mothers," starting to think about her life's most important matter.
Olga Marie, unaware of what was happening in Chaldea, calmed down after making a few haughty remarks.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that we want you to tell us everything. You've already explained your identity quite well. Now tell us about your abilities, otherwise we won't be able to make a judgment on the situation."
Hearing her words, the Chaldea members nodded in agreement.
Sparrows are eating it!
Just now, because they didn't know Ma En's true strength, they were on tenterhooks for a while. At the slightest sign of trouble, they felt like they were doomed.
My mood was like a rollercoaster ride, which isn't good for my heart.
If they knew Marne's strength, they would at least be mentally prepared.
"...Strength." En pondered for a moment and said, "It's a bit hard to say. In short, you just need to know..."
"I am a mage. In addition to some of the second magic, I also have the third magic, as well as a new magic. It's a bit complicated to explain in detail, so let's talk about it when we get back."
"And then there are Heroic Spirits. Besides Gilles from earlier, I now have two more powerful Heroic Spirits."
"Yes, I also have some of the abilities of the Heroic Spirits, and I have many Noble Phantasms, such as Hercules's 'Twelve Trials' from earlier, which I also possess."
"In terms of overall strength, I can take on seven opponents single-handedly and wipe out a regular Holy Grail War."
Olga Marie was stunned upon hearing this.
