Chapter 669: 147. The Plan
“What does this mean?”
“Ding ding. Is Alagina talking about NTR? Actually, it seems this is residual information from another world in my database. My database contains recordings of the Trans language, but I don’t know when it was stored or why it was stored, and it has several other languages as well…”
“No, David, I mean specifically… what should I do?”
“…”
David’s voice felt like poison to Alagina, making her feel both curious and timid at the same time.
Earlier, when she confronted Renee at Pirate Harbor, she vaguely realized that she could be the third party… or possibly the fourth or fifth, but that didn’t matter.
What mattered was that although she knew this, her inner belief in the concept of pure love from the Kingdom of Sardinia had not changed.
In her view, she always thought her relationship with Fisher was the original married couple’s relationship (indisputable), so most of the time, her thoughts revolved around “protection.” She competed directly with other women whom she viewed as “attackers” in this game.
But who was Alagina competing against? What rank was Valentina, and what power did she hold?
Valentina was a Phoenix, bringing along the Parasol Tree, while Alagina brought only lifeless mechanisms and sheltered sisters. Could she compete?
Not to mention the other heavyweights—like Elizabeth, whom Valentina couldn’t deal with, and that elusive Renee.
After losing to Elizabeth, losing to Renee, and then losing to Valentina, there was nothing left to lose, and she could only watch as Valentina embraced Fisher.
So, it was only after Alagina’s repeated defeats that David’s words tempted her, stirring her feelings.
“Ding ding. From David’s perspective, perhaps Alagina, you don’t need to win against other women. Essentially, you just need to make Fisher Benavides more inclined towards you emotionally, willing to give you more commitment, even completely turn towards you in the end.”
“Is that so?”
“Ding ding. Then, in Alagina’s opinion, does Fisher’s feelings for you exceed those for other women?”
Alagina’s face, which had just emerged a hint of hope, slightly dimmed again, her words stuck in her throat.
Even though she had previously told herself that “he still has feelings for me,” given the years of little time spent together, could his feelings for her be so solid?
“I…”
“…” David fell silent for a moment but could not help but ask, “Ding ding, then why does Alagina like him?”
“Of course, because he’s very good-looking.”
Alagina’s face flushed slightly, her noble demeanor becoming a bit embarrassed like the melting first snow.
“Is that all?”
“Of course not!”
Alagina snapped back from reminiscing about Fisher’s sweet charm and quickly denied,
“Although it was indeed like that at first—his appearance really caught my interest, and I reacted when I first met him, but that’s a completely normal thing, right?”
“…Ding ding. David is just a mechanism and doesn’t know if that is normal, but it should be.”
As Alagina spoke about this matter, her originally cold skin couldn’t help but warm up, bringing out a more intense blush from her previously pale complexion.
“When I was little, I got lost in that woman’s (mother’s) palace. At that time, the palace was holding a banquet, and in the Kingdom of Sardinia, the banquet separates men and women, supposedly to invite those young men for my sisters to choose suitable marriage partners. I accidentally wandered into the men’s banquet.”
“Ding ding. David is taking notes; please continue.”
“I didn’t know what it was for at that time, but because I was not with my father, and when the men crowded around me and stared at me noisily, little me was very… scared. I stayed there for a long time before my father rushed over to take me away. He even thought I was interested in men and joked about asking what kind of man I wanted to marry. I didn’t know; I just knew that marriage meant being with someone for a long time, so I told my father I didn’t want to marry a man like those at the banquet.”
Alagina pinched the sleeve of her suit, her white eyelashes fluttering as she shared her thoughts with David, who couldn’t even be called a “person.”
“I don’t know if it was because of that incident that continually impacted me, but I have never been able to raise interest in the men from Sardinia, as I always feel insecure around them.”
“Ding ding. Based on what Alagina told me earlier, you may be rejecting men from Sardinia based on your father’s experience. Your father chose to end his own life because of his weakness, letting you experience the pain of losing someone beloved. This feeling subconsciously made you avoid getting close to any men from Sardinia, worrying they might leave you like your father, even if you are not like your mother… Thus, under subconscious repression, you distanced yourself completely from men from Sardinia.”
“…”
Alagina opened her mouth, gazing thoughtfully at David, but he still tilted his head in confusion and asked,
“Ding ding. Is David’s analysis incorrect?”
“…No.” After a long silence, Alagina finally shook her head and said, “You’re right. Perhaps it is because I lost my father that I reject experiencing that kind of pain again; it might also be that my father’s traits have unconsciously affected me, making me weak.”
“When I was young, I often thought if my father hadn’t been violated by that woman and hadn’t been forced to stay with that coarse and violent woman, he should be with a much better woman. That woman should be knowledgeable, have a gentle and caring personality, yet be brave and strong enough to take good care of my father.
“But I never told my father this; I never really asked what kind of person he would like if he weren’t with that woman. This is just my own imagination. Over time, it seems this thought twisted in my mind. It’s as if that existence shifted from a woman to a man, slowly becoming what I imagined ‘my father’s ideal’ transformed into ‘what I want.'”
“So when I first met Fisher, I suddenly felt as if the person I had imagined walked right in front of me, and the feeling grew stronger when I was with him. He knows a lot, patiently teaches lost students (Isabel), warmly cares for the elderly (Old Jack), and is kind to children.
“He is knowledgeable, has a great temperament, yet is always down-to-earth. He never looks down on subhumans or people from other countries. When I am with him, time flies, and I feel incredibly at ease. David, do you know? I’ve always felt like he was sent by the Frost Phoenix.”
The more Alagina spoke, the faster her tone became, but when she subconsciously wanted to praise Fisher with a messenger of her faith, she suddenly thought of Valentina, who had just embraced him as the Phoenix itself.
Her words halted, and she bowed her head like a wilted cabbage.
“Ding ding. It does sound beautiful. If Fisher didn’t have this greedy flirtatious trait, he would be perfect.”
“Right? David, you think so too, don’t you?”
“Ding ding. If he can’t be severed, then we can only follow what David said earlier.”
“Sever? No no, David, what are you talking about?”
Alagina trembled slightly at the words, scared enough to stand up, about to say something when the laboratory door behind her suddenly opened.
Revealing Fisher standing outside.
Don’t ask why a being of mythical rank couldn’t catch up with Alagina and took a few minutes longer to arrive.
You have to understand how big the Parasol Tree is, with a tall, hollow cylindrical structure, nearly a thousand meters high, and there were transfer elevators made by the mechanism.
There are thousands of rooms in this circle alone, not to mention when he last came here in pitch darkness; he was completely unfamiliar with this place. Just being delayed by Valentina for two minutes, by the time he came out, Alagina had already vanished. Who knew which of these many rooms she was in?
Most people in the Parasol Tree were outside, as it was said that a mechanism was conducting an experiment. It was a snow fox tribe member he had happened to meet who told him this, along with the specific location of Alagina’s laboratory, which was why he had rushed over with all his strength.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Fisher saw Alagina, her back to him, and the lighting in the laboratory had dimmed. The faint blue glow hidden beneath her suit was now visible.
That was the light of the mechanism.
“Fisher, how come you…”
“Alagina, wait a minute.”
Fisher strode towards her with an imposing aura. She instinctively took a small step back, and the floating little David also hid behind her, but Fisher still grabbed her hand.
The power emanating from his body was immense, and Alagina couldn’t resist at all; even her wrist, which he held, felt swollen with pressure.
Yet, instead of feeling uncomfortable, her heartbeat quickened, and her face turned slightly red.
If he squeezed any harder, she would surely feel pain.
But Fisher had already firmly grasped her wrist and lifted it, then pulled up her suit jacket and loose-fitting white top, revealing her well-toned abs, the inner garment, and the complete steel mechanism.
The light from the mechanism came from the mechanical cover, not embedded in her skin.
“Ha…”
Fisher let out a breath of relief, mainly because he had seen Mikhail “loading” his body years ago, and it looked just like the glow emanating from Alagina.
Thinking about it, if he lifted her clothes and found that everything inside was made of steel plating and Alagina patted Fisher’s shoulder with her modified steel arm, resolutely saying, “I’m not human anymore, Fisher; let’s join the honorable evolution together!”
“…”
Fisher shook his head, shaking off that terrifying possibility from his mind. But at least she didn’t appear to have been affected by Mikhail’s mechanism; she had merely donned it upon herself. No wonder she disappeared so quickly earlier.
“Fisher?”
Alagina’s face flushed, seemingly because Fisher’s gaze was directed at her navel, making her feel a bit embarrassed.
Ironically, this embarrassment made her navel noticeably quiver.
Fisher swallowed hard, feeling a surge of appetite.
He hurriedly averted his gaze, hastily ceasing his crude action of lifting her clothing.
“Sorry, Alagina, I thought you had replaced a part of your body with the mechanism.”
Alagina looked at Fisher as if she had seen something adorable. She raised her hand in front of her lips, concealing her light laughter, looking at him, bewildered, not understanding what she was laughing about.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just find you very cute, Fisher.”
“?”
Oh? Besides Hela, this was the second woman to tell him he was cute?
However, perhaps unlike Hela, who expressed this with a different intent, Alagina had just noticed that Fisher seemed to also have things he didn’t understand, like the mechanism.
But realizing this didn’t shatter Alagina’s fantasy; instead, it made her like him even more.
Imagine a person who seems to know everything, looks good, can make delicious food, and can earn money to buy you gifts. One night, she runs to you in a hurry, blankly pointing at the bedroom computer, asking,
“Hubby, please take a look; why are my teammates scolding me?”
“Okay, let me see, baby!”
Then when you run over, you discover she is playing a healer in a competitive game, and her first item is an expensive piece that only damage dealers would buy.
Will you be speechless, hugging her with a confused expression or feel like her perfect filter has shattered?
In any case, for Alagina, it was the former.
“Fisher, regarding what we discussed earlier, I must confess. A few years ago, after I left the Iceberg Queen, I went to the Northern Region. At that time…”
She might have wanted to hear Fisher finish, but her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a bit of green fluff stuck to his clothes, which seemed to carry a hint of cold air, indicating who the owner of that fluff was.
Her sky-like clear eyes were suddenly tinged with a bit of darkness, and Fisher’s recounting started to subjectively fade away, while David’s earlier words grew louder in her ears.
As a “third party,” if she didn’t snatch Fisher away from others, would she just wait for someone else to snatch him from her?
Those who are impressive are always impressive; she has always believed that good and evil will be rewarded, and now, after losing repeatedly, she has completely begun to question her life.
Questioning her efforts, questioning her feelings.
Instead of this, it would be better to do as David suggested, completely dye Fisher with her color, making him reluctant to leave and ultimately turn towards her.
“Valentina is searching for the Six Races Emblem. I share the same destination as her, so I traveled with her, and then…”
“Fisher!”
Alagina could no longer hold back; she needed to implement everything David had said, starting with Fisher, making him completely fall for her.
Meanwhile, the glow on David, who supported her behind, grew brighter, as if silently cheering for her, “Great! At a crucial moment, our contestant Alagina is about to step up!”
As Fisher originally began to confess, Alagina suddenly lifted her head to look at him, then she stepped forward and tried to grasp his hand, but Fisher’s rank was far beyond hers. Her intent of holding his hand and kissing him mirrored those movements he used to ambush Valentina in the hall.
He just stepped back slightly, and his palm swiftly like lightning gripped Alagina’s cheek, making her slightly parted lips poke out, his aggressive, beast-like dark gaze shifting to a cute blink, seemingly asking,
“How did you know I was going to kiss you?”
“…”
Because you played this game that only Fisher had played.
David behind her couldn’t bear to watch, once again played dead as he hid behind Alagina.
“Alagina, I’m talking about the previous matters. These things I did were wrong, but my feelings for you are not fake. You have the right to know everything, and so does Valentina.”
Fisher was now terrifyingly calm.
“Ugh.”
Alagina intended to say something, but because his fingers held her cheek, she could only adorably pout her lips. Moreover, it seemed that the pressure from Fisher’s firmness heightened her excitement?
Looking at Alagina’s tempting lips, Fisher wanted to finish what he had just said, yet suddenly found himself at a loss for words, merely swallowing hard, his gaze slightly evasive.
But Valentina was still above; wouldn’t it be alright to kiss Alagina first?
He thought so.
Along with the motion of his hand restraining Alagina loosening suddenly, her face, originally caught in his grip, propelled forward, finally fulfilling her wish.
“Muah.”
With her height advantage, after freeing herself from Fisher’s restraint, she could finally hold him tightly in her embrace.
Furthermore, she quietly shook off those Phoenix feathers stuck to him.
The plan is working!
