Chapter 770 - 33: The Sun’s Star Spirit!

"Of course it’s because of the awkwardness, after all, what I did back then was a bit not quite decent..."On the other side, Gu Mo said this to the well-dressed young girl, his tone was somewhat subtle, as he lightly scratched his cheek with his long index finger.

He actually didn’t really want to meet with Gudah and the others again...

The main reason was that he felt a bit awkward about it.

After all, he had taken advantage of the information gap between the two sides and swindled Akai Hinako good and proper, yet pretended as if nothing had happened. Primarily, he acted like he knew the literature girl when dealing with Chaldea’s side, and on the literature girl’s side, he pretended she was mistakenly teleported here.

In such a situation, both sides took things for granted—

In addition, given the critical situation of the Anomaly at the time, no one had much mind to haggle over anything, so it was a seamless operation. He also acted nonchalantly, with an air of rightful confidence.

At least until the end of the Dungeon World, there was no embarrassing situation where his cover was blown, unlike the time when Hidechika exposed him face to face, once was enough for that... Overall, it went quite smoothly, but this smooth state was just limited to that period.

This state where both sides were kept in the dark couldn’t last forever.

Especially after Akai Hinako left the Seventh Anomaly and returned to Chaldea, after such a period of time.

There’s no reason to say Chaldea wouldn’t be concerned at all about her issues, nor would they completely overlook going over what happened back then. So just a few simple words would definitely expose the not-so-clever lie, which is a foreseeable inevitability.

——That’s truly a bit awkward.

"Humph, after all, the suppression force delivered her to your doorstep; what does that have to do with you, Master? You didn’t lie, at most the other side misunderstood due to their own imagination..."

Miss Tamamo casually snorted. Even if this manifestation had a somewhat domineering main personality, possibly to the level of a yandere, but her essence wouldn’t change. Naturally, she would defend her own Master unconditionally over such harmless little issues.

"Forget it, I don’t have such a thick skin, and what they see certainly isn’t like that."

Gu Mo decisively shook his head.

Moreover, aside from the part executed by the suppression force, the deliberate acting, intentionally leading both sides to preconceived misunderstandings were all his own maneuvers, which he couldn’t shirk responsibility for.

In fact, not too long ago, when planning to handle the issues with Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, Gu Mo was also feeling quite troubled, seriously contemplating whether to simply make an ’Alter’ move—

For example, pretending to be Gu Mo of the Anomaly Zone, not Gu Mo from the Pan-Human History, thus implementing a version split, being completely the same yet vastly different, naturally denying the past occurrences with righteous confidence.

"What’s Zhou Shuren got to do with me, Lu Xun.jpg"

Basically, that’s the operation, and it can’t be called whimsical; instead, it’s very feasible. After all, in such a Dungeon World, it’s probably a familiar and unsurprising phenomenon—aren’t they claiming to be SSR characters if they don’t open several consumption pools and release multiple versions to fleece?

However, just as Gu Mo’s thought process was veering toward a capitalist direction, the Gem Elder approached, so he conveniently shifted the matter onto the elder man, explaining it as selling a favor to a magician, letting Chaldea off the hook, and incidentally beginning to support their Anomaly Zone strategy—

A win-win situation, isn’t it delightful.

That was Gu Mo’s thought, although he didn’t expect the old man on the opposing side to be quite astute, still sharply perceiving some hidden secrets of this King of the Strange Realm, the truth that there seemed to be some camaraderie with Chaldea.

It’s just unfortunate that no one likely thought the real reason was very absurd...

It was really just simply wanting to avoid awkwardness, nothing more.

"Then let’s not meet with them, afterwards let the Rare People Legion support them..." Miss Tamamo casually nodded, then thoughtfully offered assistance, "I’ll follow up on this matter later, and provide them with a list of the Sea of the Moon’s non-regulated armaments..."

"Light Armor Vehicle, Apocalypse Tank, Land Combat Robot, Intelligent Golem..."

The well-dressed girl ticked them off her fingers, rattling off a list of military support for Chaldea without missing a beat.

"These should be no problem, and besides, the military hasn’t fought a war in ages, yet their armaments are constantly being updated. The budget is always for this many; I just wonder how effective these new upgrade versions are in actual combat, might as well take this opportunity to test them..."

"Humph, if the operational data we collect fails to justify these years of military spending, I’ll flay them alive!" At this point, a dangerous glint flashed in Miss Tamamo’s eyes, with a hint of a bloody aura.

"Uh..."

Gu Mo pulled the corners of his mouth; he really just wanted to simply give some support to Chaldea.

After all, their fundamental interests stand aligned, pruning the Imaginary Tree and disrupting the Alien God’s descent was also what Gu Mo wanted to do. Considering that Chaldea’s Celestial Mandate protagonist was about to embark on a journey, he naturally intended to provide as much assistance as he could.
