"Did you do this?"
Fubuki carefully examined the condition of the two Lickers.
Both Light Lances had precisely destroyed their brain tissue, and the brain chips controlling them were also destroyed.
Although Lickers were nothing to a psychic like her.
After all, where they came from, there were monsters a thousand times more terrifying and powerful than Lickers.
But to be able to summon something like a Light Lance, it couldn't possibly be an ordinary person.
"It doesn't look like a magic-constructed attack, more like a special energy body. Is this also a type of magic from another world?"
Frieren stood in front of one Licker, carefully touching the Light Lance with her staff.
"Can I take it back for research?"
"Its form won't last long, if you want one, I can give you another before we go back."
Rosen knew Frieren was full of curiosity about things that interested her.
Over a thousand years of her life, almost half of it was spent studying magic grimoires.
"How generous, I'll remember that, don't go back on your word before we return."
Frieren said.
"I always feel… this energy's method of operation is a little familiar."
Among the three girls, Gabriel stroked her chin, examining the two Light Lances.
She always felt like she had encountered this energy somewhere before, but she couldn't recall where.
However, having lived in the lower realm for some time, she knew that overthinking would only lead to more trouble.
It would be much more enjoyable to play a few games in that time.
"No wonder you said in the group chat that you weren't an ordinary person. I didn't expect you to have these tricks up your sleeve."
Gabriel quickly returned to normal, marveling at how deeply Rosen had hidden his abilities.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed that few of those who could join the chat group were ordinary people.
Uh, no, Saeko Busujima seemed to be the only one.
"If I were hiding something, I wouldn't have come this time," Rosen said, spreading his hands.
However, he was somewhat surprised by the life tree's reaction.
These group members seemed to fully meet the requirements for conversion into dependents.
But Rosen remained calm.
Although conversion into a divine envoy was an irresistible path for most ordinary people, for the heroines from different worlds with extraordinary abilities, becoming a dependent, while beneficial, the mere requirement of having to obey Rosen in everything was enough to deter many.
Unless they urgently needed assistance, or had a very high degree of favorability towards Rosen.
If he were to propose it now, it would be a bit rash.
He would also take the opportunity to observe the natives of this world.
Scanning around, Rosen found that among the nine people present, only Saeko Busujima, Juchuan Shizuka, and Nan Lixiang currently met the requirements for conversion into dependents.
The other six, including Saya Takagi and female police officer Asami Nakaoka, did not yet qualify.
Besides Saeko Busujima, the busty and adorable Juchuan Shizuka and the tanned Nan Lixiang could be considered for development.
Especially Juchuan Shizuka, who looked at him with clear yet foolish eyes; Rosen felt he could trick her a dozen times in one night.
"Du Dao-san, what… what's going on now?" Nan Lixiang asked, her expression surprised and complex.
Although Tokoname City's sudden transformation into a dead city within a few days was quite abrupt, these "extraordinary individuals" who suddenly appeared today seemed to have leaped out of a manga.
So what exactly happened to this world?
She hadn't watched anime since she started working. Was she out of touch with the times now?
The other girls shared Nan Lixiang's thoughts.
Except for Juchuan Shizuka, who was still looking at Rosen and the others with adoration and happiness.
"They are my friends, and I invited them to help," Saeko Busujima said.
She didn't know how to introduce them, so she just said that.
"Isn't this a bit too outrageous? Are we living in some manga?" Saya Takagi muttered quietly.
"Du Dao-san, where did you make these friends?"
Frieren's attire was like a cosplay at a comic convention.
But her pointed ears clearly twitched on their own, meaning they were real ears.
Isn't this a living elf?
Could you tell us where you met them, so we can also make such friends?
"You can rest assured, we are simply here to complete a mission. You don't need to worry that we will harm you," Gabriel said gently.
"One more thing, the zombie virus wasn't created by us. The culprit is the Umbrella Corporation. Those Lickers just now were sent by them."
At this point, Rosen glanced at the silent Nan Lixiang.
The latter's expression clearly showed surprise, evidently not knowing why Rosen would know what she was thinking.
"No need for mind-reading, what you're thinking is already written all over your face," Rosen said with a smile.
