Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Shinji and Shubi walked and looked, and soon they arrived at the gate of this so-called castle.

It looks quite big, but it doesn't even have a door, it's still a bit shabby...

"But it's already pretty good to be able to achieve this. I just don't know which genius designed the architectural blueprint..."

"So... where are the people?"

Shinji looked around as he entered the room, but saw no sign of other people around.

At this time, the mechanical ears on Hubie's head moved, and his eyes looked straight ahead... The noise seemed to come from there...

So the two of them followed the slight noise, and the sound became louder as they walked, until they pushed open a big door and saw a lively scene:

The men gathered together, clinking their glasses, and laughing foolishly, as if they were having a party again.

In this chaotic crowd, Shinji saw many familiar faces. These people seemed to be former members of the "Ghost". Not long after, he also saw Riku who was being fed wine by his shoulders...

"...Hahahaha, Riku, you actually gave up the kingship to Chronicle like that? You're really willing to do that!"

"What are you talking about? I don't want a position with such heavy responsibilities. I'm still young and it's the right age to go out and explore the world."

"Look at what you said. Isn't Chloë that old? Besides, isn't there Shinji..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! I am now the [Sole God], who would still want the position of king..."

"What's wrong with the [Sole God]? Aren't there always gods behind other races? We are no different..."

"...Ahem!"

Just when a few people on Riku's side were joking, Shinji suddenly came out from behind and coughed twice as if nothing had happened.

"..."

The scene suddenly became quiet... The person who had just spoken was also frightened, and felt guilty and didn't dare to look Shinji in the eye.

Although what they said was not excessive, it was not a good thing to talk about others behind their backs, not to mention that the other party found out, not to mention that the other party was currently a [Sole God] with a very high status...

“…Hey! Shinji, you’re back again!”

The silence was finally broken by Riku's words. He seemed to be completely unaware of the awkward atmosphere and joked with Shinji with a playful smile:

“…No, now do I have to call you… Lord [The One and Only God]?”

"…Forget about the One and Only God, but if you want to use an honorific title for me, I don't mind."

"a ha ha ha!"

A few simple and straightforward jokes from the two immediately cleared the weird atmosphere, and the others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

It is said that great power and strength will change a person, especially something like the [Star Grail] that gives a person supreme power... But fortunately, Shinji doesn't seem to have changed.

"By the way, why are you gathering here to party at this time instead of going to work?"

"Hey, hey... do you really think we are all workaholics? We should have fun on our rare day off, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of all the hard days we've had?"

Riku stared at Shinji with disdain. It was obvious that he was the one who had been missing for a long time and must have been running around to play. But now he turned around and questioned why they didn't go to work... What a damned winner in life!

"…And we are not just fooling around today. We are cheering for the birth of a new king of mankind!"

"Oh! You're right!"

"For our lovely Queen!"

"..."

As soon as Riku finished speaking, the other people around him immediately shouted excitedly. After all, they were all comrades who had been through life and death together, so there was nothing to worry about. Shinji was just a little curious about this.

"Queen? ...You mean Chloro?"

"What?... So you already knew it!"

"Well, I just heard about it, so I came here to see what's going on..."

"…Shuby came here with Shinji. Wherever Shinji goes, Shuby goes."

"Tsk..."

Riku glanced away with an unhappy look on his face, he didn't expect to see some dog food being shown here, how come this kind of enviable and damn love can be found everywhere?

…Speaking of which, this morning, Ivan actually asked for leave because he wanted to spend time with his wife and daughter…Even the boss had never asked for leave, but these guys…

"…What's wrong, are you jealous?"

Shinji looked at Riku who suddenly became angry, and saw him and Hubie gritting their teeth, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up.

Then he bent down and picked up Hubie, and showed off in front of him in a frivolous way:

"How's it going...my Hubie is cute, right?"

"Tsk, how can you..."

Riku turned his head away in disgust, and was about to refute stubbornly, but his body couldn't help but subconsciously open one eye to look.

At this moment, Hubie had a puzzled expression on his face, tilting his head and staring blankly ahead...

"puff!"

Faintly, the sound of an arrow piercing the heart was heard, and Riku instantly collapsed on the table with tears streaming down his face...

[How could it be...how could it be so cute! ]

"Hum hum…"

After seeing Riku finally break through the defense and sink, Shinji put down Schwi with satisfaction, looked around, and asked casually:

"Where's Chloro? If this party is for her, why isn't she here?"

"Oh... well, you're late. She showed her head at the beginning and then hid in the house... It must be her first time seeing such a scene, so it's normal for her to feel shy."

"I see…"

[So... do you want to go take a look? ]

[But it’s not a good idea to just enter a girl’s bedroom casually…]

Shinji raised his hand and pinched his chin. After thinking for several seconds, he finally decided to walk over.

Otherwise, it would be bad if I suddenly teleported over and scared people!

"Hubby, let's go! Let's go see the Queen."

Having made up his mind, Shinji immediately grabbed Shubi's hand and ran over. The other's small body was pulled away in an instant, and he ran behind him while looking at Shinji.

Blue spots flashed in his yellow eyes. He stared blankly at the smirking boy in front of him, then looked at his clenched hands. The spots in his pupils kept flickering...

At this moment, the mechanical girl seemed to have made some decision. She no longer looked dazed, and a charming smile appeared on her unchanging mechanical face again.

[Wherever Shinji goes, Hubie goes... The bad guy Shinji doesn't want to leave Hubie behind! ]

Everyone watched Shinji and Hubie run towards Chloro's room, and no one reacted. After all, it was not like they had never seen the two of them before, so what was the big deal?

So we continued chatting and talking about the topic just now...

Perhaps the only person who changed was Riku, who was lying on the table with his head down.

"...Damn it, damn it... But, I'm so envious... Woohoo!"
