She is slowly making her way towards the alchemical realm where she can create pseudo-philosopher's stones.
Therefore, the Titis only have three in stock.
"Huh? Why did it only move this little bit?"
Ti Xiao transferred the second Twilight Prism to the weight pan.
However, this time, the angle of the balance tilted hardly changed to the naked eye; it only shifted by a barely perceptible amount.
"It seems that the key to measuring 'value' is not about accumulating quantity."
After a moment's thought, Vilvi gave her judgment.
Or perhaps the quantity is insufficient, unless it's enough alchemical nuclear bombs to bomb Onpharos.
"Ok."
Ti Xiao felt a little regretful and sent the Twilight Prism back using the Hundred Realms Gate.
Wilvi glanced at March 7th, who was bouncing around on the scales trying to sink this side of the balance, and then turned her gaze to the firmament.
"Is there a solution? Or should we prepare to activate Plan B?"
"Plan B? What Plan B?"
March 7th blinked its eyes in a cute, innocent way.
How come she didn't know when the plan was discussed?
"Not urgent."
Qiong waved her hand with a grin.
The so-called Plan B, of course, is to launch a full-scale attack after negotiations fail.
Vilvi really wanted to conduct an experiment.
Try bombing a Titan with a Twilight Prism and see if the opponent can defend against it, and to what extent the Twilight Prism can achieve.
Under the watchful eyes of the girls, Qiong stepped forward.
“Taranton, let me make this clear: if I can sink this side of the scales and ignite the flame, then we win, right?”
Qiong rubbed his hands together with great interest.
"Yila~"
The web of law flickers, and Tarranton responds.
"That makes things easier."
Qiong chuckled lightly, turned to face Krydella, and his expression changed instantly, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, becoming extremely solemn.
“Little Delara…”
Qiong's voice was low and hoarse.
"I'm sorry, but actually, there's something I've been keeping from you."
He sighed heavily, as if carrying a thousand-pound burden.
"I hope... I hope you won't resent your teacher."
"teacher……?"
The sudden change of topic and the somber and serious expression on Qiong's face made Krystalla raise an eyebrow.
"How could I resent my teacher?"
The teacher is the person Crydela trusts most in the world, without exception.
Even if the other party really did something to her as a pawn, Krydela believed it was for her own good.
"You tell me you forgive me first, then I'll tell you what happened."
Qiong looked as if she were bidding farewell to this world, which made Krystal's heart skip a beat, and she quickly comforted her.
“Very well, whatever you have done, teacher, I promise in the name of Hyper Caesar that the law will forgive you for everything.”
"Hehe~ I've been waiting for you to say that."
All the heaviness and sorrow on Qiong's face vanished in an instant; the speed at which she changed her expression was astonishing.
He grinned, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth.
"henshin!"
During Ultraman Kuuga's transformation, Kuuga's body shrinks in the light, turning into a brown mouse smaller than the palm of a hand.
"……teacher!?"
When Crydella saw Kyon transform into Jerry for the first time, her pretty face was filled with shock, a mixture of astonishment, confusion, bewilderment, and disbelief.
Krystra knew that her teacher was extraordinary and possessed many amazing abilities.
Logically speaking, having only gained the ability to turn into a rat shouldn't cause Crydella to lose her composure.
but.
"Jerry was the teacher all along!"
Crydella knows Jerry.
We not only know each other, but we're very familiar with each other.
She once believed that Jerry was a special beast, a member of the Zagreb clan, hidden within the palace.
Cerberus still vividly remembers the first time she discovered this strange beast.
That was shortly after she was brought into the palace, when her position was not yet secure and she was extremely cautious in everything she did.
One tiring night, she dismissed her maids and relaxed alone in her private bath.
Just as she closed her eyes to rest, a faint rustling sound came from behind her.
She opened her eyes alertly and saw a brown rat standing upright, furtively picking up her neatly folded undergarments.
"stop!"
Kerudela sprang up from the water with a splash and chased after him, still soaking wet.
The rat was as agile as a brown lightning bolt, scurrying wildly across the smooth marble floor.
Krydela, barefoot, chased after him with all her might, but she stepped on a bar of soap, lost her balance, and fell heavily to the ground in an extremely disheveled manner.
And that wretched rat, holding her clothes, stood not far away, pointing at her with its little paws, its body twitching as if it were laughing silently.
That was a memory that still makes Crydela feel embarrassed to this day.
Cerberus, her pride wounded, vowed to catch the audacious rat.
He didn't ask Qiong for help either. After all, it was just catching a little mouse. Why would he need the teacher's help for such a trivial matter?
That would be too embarrassing.
Thus began a protracted cat-and-mouse game deep within the palace.
She set a trap, but the mouse easily escaped and smeared cake all over her face.
She was keeping watch in the middle of the night when Jerry woke her up by tickling her feet with a feather.
She tried to lure him with delicious food, but her snacks always disappeared, only to be found being eaten by Jerry sitting next to her pillow.
Every encounter ended with Crydella's crushing defeat and Jerry's humane, smug mockery.
This is an utter disgrace!
I don't know when it started, but the pursuit has changed its meaning.
Perhaps it was after Jerry secretly slipped her a small cake symbolizing victory after she was harassed by nobles.
Perhaps she was tired from chasing him one time, and sat on the ground sulking. Jerry actually stopped and sat not far away, propping his chin up with his little paws and looking at her with a "I really can't do anything with you" expression.
The relationship between the man and the mouse deepened, and they eventually became friends.
Jerry didn't want others to know about its existence, and he repeatedly warned her, so Crydella didn't tell the teacher that she had made friends with it.
Later, as time went on...
Krydella thought it wouldn't be bad to have a magical creature friend that her teacher didn't know about.
In this way, many things that are inconvenient to say to the teacher can be confided to, and secrets can be shared.
Clever Jerry can also help her analyze problems.
As for what you can't say to a teacher who is as close as a father?
Of course, it's about feelings for the teacher and some prank scripts!
For example, speculation about the teacher's identity, and complaints about certain things...
If she were to tell Heather, these words would surely reach the teacher's ears verbatim.
But it's different when it comes to Jerry.
She can speak her mind freely.
At this moment, I recall how I once blushed, full of anticipation, and vowed to Jerry that when I grew up, I would marry my teacher as my queen.
Thinking back to how I used to confide in Jerry about the innocent, dreamy, affectionate, and loving emotions I felt as a young girl.
I remember how Jerry and I used to enthusiastically discuss how to prank our teacher and win back the battle of pranks.
For example, someone added ten times the concentration of bitter melon juice to the teacher's tea, and ended up drinking it themselves.
At this moment, all the fragments of memory, with their high-definition, flawless details and all the emotions of that time, exploded like a bomb, creating a devastating shockwave in Crydella's mind.
"Ahhhh!"
Her blood seemed to flow backward instantly, rushing to the top of her head, and Keldera lost her composure for the first time in her life.
My mind was screaming and roaring wildly, I felt my brain boiling and my brain trembling.
The teacher is Jerry!
Those private girlish thoughts, those outrageous complaints, those meticulously planned pranks that always backfired...
All those truths she thought only Jerry knew.
The teacher saw and heard everything, and they even acted out the whole thing!
The extreme shame instantly devoured reason like lava.
Caesar, the young empress who rose to power through ruthless means, experienced the ultimate form of social death for the first time.
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 863 Is the Cat and Mouse Team any better than a joke?
While Cerudela's brain was overloaded due to memories of her death, the culprit rat not only showed no remorse but also started tap dancing.
Qiong Jerry perfectly recreated the silly way she used to practice her wedding dance steps, with her hands and feet moving in unison.
That wasn't enough; he then pulled out a mini crown, put it on his head, and made a heart-clutching gesture as if he were confessing his love.
"Ahhh!"
"teacher!"
Krydella's composure snapped completely. No longer caring about dignity or elegance, she pounced like a ruffled lion cat.
"I'm going to build you up inside the palace walls!"
His Majesty Caesar missed him.
Qiong Jerry leaped into the air, nimbly dodging the angry attack.
Kerudela, having exerted too much force, collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Then, he landed in front of Crydella with a classic knight's frog jump.
The vivid rat face tried hard to suppress its laughter, but the corners of its mouth turned up wildly, revealing a GIF that read, "I've always wanted to see this expression on your face, this expression of being embarrassed and angry and losing your guard.jpg".
If raising a princess is not for fun, then it will be meaningless.
Why did Kyō secretly play with Krystalla for the past few years under the identity of Jerry?
