black queen hypothesis

Like Vilas's initial reaction, all four were not optimistic about the prospects of this plan.

"'Pretend to combine'?" After hearing Vilas' brief summary, Laughlin was the first to object. "I can't believe it. This is the idea of ​​a federal president. He is a sentinel himself. He should know how ridiculous it is!"

This reaction can be described as strong, and everyone was a little surprised.But thinking of what happened the night before, Vilas quickly understood. "Are you worried that he will be bad for me? Or are you worried that I will really combine with him?"

Laughlin blushed slightly, but nodded anyway. "Both."

"What are you thinking? Put it bluntly—who in this world can really fool me?" Vilas laughed. "Besides, he," he pointed to the eye-catching badge of the federal president on Sivio's chest on the photoelectric screen, "I," he pointed to himself again, "where did you see the possibility of a combination?"

In fact, it goes without saying that everyone knows this, but their worries come from the same reason.

"Alva is the president of the Federation. He may have made such a request out of some necessity of the Federation." Sieg said in a deep voice, "I don't know the reason, and I don't really need to know. But you," she said Turn, "I want to know, what kind of promise did he use to impress you?"

"I want to know too!" Fernandez and Harford echoed in unison.

Vilas smiled wryly.

This response is equivalent to default.Sieg immediately understood that there was no need for her to ask the question just now, because the answer was obvious—except for the empire, or the empire. "I see," she said without any hesitation, "then I agree."

"--What?!" The other three exclaimed in unison.

"But I have a condition—" Sieg reassured the others with his eyes, "We must join."

Now it was Vilas' turn to object. "This can't be..." He tried to convince Sieg, "This is not your business."

"You say that every time," Harford glared at him with his lips curled up in a dismissive tone, "but do you really think that this sentence can stop us?"

"That's right!" Fernandez immediately added. "Don't try to modify our mental picture!" He deliberately raised his fist to threaten, "You have my warning—you can't afford the consequences again!"

This statement was unanimously agreed by the three people except Vilas. "I didn't expect that, the big man, he is extremely reliable at critical moments!" Harford couldn't help but praised him.Fernandez puffed out his chest proudly, but still stared at Vilas.

Under this fierce offensive, Vilas can only compromise. "I see." He couldn't trick them, but maybe he could get around them...

As if guessing what he was thinking, Sieg squinted at him, and her slightly sideways posture made her eyes narrow and elongated, with threats in her vigilance. "You know, we'll be watching you."

Now Vilas can only completely raise the white flag.

Next, Vilas had to enjoy [-]% of the attention of the other four people, whether in daily life or commissioning.To be honest, he knew it was going to be like this before he said it, but there was nothing else he could do—

The best way to solve this problem is to deal with the pirates as soon as possible, but after the big news came out, Silvio was silent!

A week passed, and a month passed... Just before Vilas suspected that Silvio was teasing him, there was finally a fluctuation in the mental connection that hadn't moved for a long time——

There's an informal reception, come with me, Quinn.

Vilas wondered how Silvio defined "informal."Anyway, no matter it's official or not, as long as a few people see him, that's all.With the ability of the Dark Lord, Smitz will know sooner or later.

knew.when?

It is still so convenient to use the spiritual connection to return to the past. After all, if he uses a communicator or something like that, he will definitely be discovered by other members of the rose group.And if they knew about the problem of pheromone compatibility, they would have to tie him away from Capitol even if they did.

this weekend.Silvio replied quickly.When the time comes, you come to my place first, and the clothes are all ready.

Vilas rolled an extra-large eye in his mind.A real control freak!He slandered, taking care not to let the thought get through—what else?

Silvio paused for a moment this time.Do you have anything special to prepare for?your face……

Queen Neferti's beauty is popular all over the world, and it is really troublesome for Vilas, who looks like her.However, he has a lot of experience in pretending that he is not the prince of the empire, so he doesn't take it seriously - a portable electromagnetic wave jammer, the one with the same frequency as the venue monitor, if you have one; in addition, if there are other super S-level guides Be there, be sure to let me know in advance.

The former has, the latter does not.

Vilas was quite satisfied with this answer.See you then.

At the same time as he received this news, Silvio found that Vilas had re-established the mental barrier—to be precise, the high wall had been there all along, and Vilas had just slammed the opened small door closed. on.

In addition, counting this time, it is the third time that Vilas has hung up on his communication first, right?He only did it once, why is he so vengeful...

Silvio just wanted to help his forehead.Immediately afterwards, he thought of what Vilas needed to hide from the world—the electromagnetic wave jammer, and the tone of voice felt dispensable; as for the super S-level guide... just kidding, does this kind of person exist?The number of guides is only a quarter of that of the sentinels, let alone super S-level ones!

It has to be said that this is exactly the strong reason why Silvio firmly believes that Vilas will attract Smits.He now also believes that the reason why the emperor spent a huge amount of money on researching the special neutralizer for the prince is the reason Vilas said——

The more precious something is, the easier it is to be coveted by others, and the more you need the ability to protect it.

He suddenly felt sorry for Vilas.

""

The weekend is coming soon.Everyone in the Rose Group wanted to go with them, and Vilas had to talk about it, so he persuaded his companions to wait outside the reception building. "I'm only going to show up, not for half an hour. And if we have the idea of ​​security, Alva may doubt my sincerity of cooperation."

"It's as if some of us really care about the federal president." Harford commented bitterly.

This time Laughlin couldn't agree more with him. "That's right, we only care about you."

Fernandez nodded wildly, and Sieg made a final summary: "Half an hour. If you don't come out within this time limit, we'll go in!"

Vilas couldn't resist four people bargaining with him at the same time, so he could only turn this resentment on Silvio.But Silvio might not really be innocent either, because—

"Why did you prepare this?!"

Finding a pair of small white trousers in a stack of laundry—just the right size, it must be emphasized—Vilas felt his face was distorted.

Silvio was quite calm. "Be prepared."

Vilas glared at him viciously.Be prepared for a yarn!Does he look like someone who wears a vacuum suit all the time?Even if the eyes of the super S-rank sentinel are good enough to be used as a measuring tape, there is no need to remind him in this way!Is it okay to pretend not to know?

In the end, he put on his shirt and suit resentfully, crumpled up the small piece of cloth and threw it under the chair in the dressing room before opening the door to go out.

Silvio had already taken care of himself.He looked up at the sound—the white suit fit surprisingly well, and the star sapphire cufflinks matched those eyes perfectly. "And the bow tie," he said, resisting the urge to compliment, because he didn't think Villars would take that as a compliment.

Have to say, this is a wise choice.Because when he saw the bottom of the trousers, Vilas vowed to seize every opportunity to criticize Silvio. "Didn't you say 'informal'?"

Silvio looked at him calmly. "Need me to help you wear it?"

"Mr. President wants to volunteer?" Villas smirked back. "That would be my honor."

He said this because he was sure that the other party would not do this, but Sylvio actually stood up and picked up the blue broken star bow tie.

"... Forget it, I'll do it myself." Feeling that something was wrong, Vilas immediately changed his words.

However, Silvio pretended not to hear.He took two steps across the distance between them, stretched his fingers behind Vilas' neck, and turned up the collar of his shirt.The bow ties are looped around, one long and one short, long press the short side, pull from bottom to top, and the first bow will bloom.He adjusted it slightly, looped the long end back, and pushed the rest in—

"All right."

Silvio adjusted Vilas's collar again, and then backed away from him.Vilas saw himself in the mirror, beautiful and ironed, but stiff as a stone sculpture that couldn't understand its style.
