We absolutely cannot cooperate with Camellia

An hour later, Li Sizhuang Hotel.

Kim Erise strolled into the fifth-floor hall, which she had booked for herself.

Her eyes were immediately met with a dazzling golden statue, followed by fifteen tables laden with various delicacies.

Beethoven’s classical music played through the massive speakers.

Handsome young attendants came and went, serving dishes.

People were toasting, and many were eagerly chatting with their companions.

Some, unable to resist, had already started on the appetizers.

Although many people were bandaged, this did not affect the lively atmosphere in the hall. Everyone looked energetic, full of life, as if they were celebrating a great victory.

Anjete and her group had also arrived.

Her parents were laughing loudly with a few people in the corner, while she herself was enjoying a pile of White Rabbit candies.

Upon seeing the red-haired girl, she cheered and pounced on her, then suddenly realized that the other person was still covered in injuries. She quickly changed her mind and hugged her arm, affectionately rubbing her face.

This little girl is as clingy as Xiaoyu.

Recalling the scene in Pacha Hospital where the two little lolis were pulling at her arms and glaring at each other, the red-haired girl tapped her head helplessly.

But Anjete’s current actions were really cute, making her want to hold her in her arms and care for her.

Plus the two at home, it feels like raising a bunch of sisters, making her feel…uh, complicated…

“Hey, the esteemed Kim Erise, over here!”

Zengman Yinying, dressed in a suit, was chatting with her companions.

Upon seeing the red-haired girl, she excitedly waved the wine in her hand:

“This hotel has wine that’s even better quality than what I have at home, come and try it!”

“No, no,” she politely waved her hand, declining the offer.

“I’ve had enough wine today, and I have important things to discuss later, so I’ll pass.”

The red-haired girl noticed the necklace on the other person’s neck, as well as the black-and-white photo of a man smiling at the camera.

It seemed that Doctor Yinying’s boyfriend had not escaped that cleansing.

“Oh, you are the benefactor who saved us!”

The doctor’s companion, a black-haired young man in his early thirties with round glasses, exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Kim Erise. He ran over and tightly grasped the hand that the brown-haired loli hadn’t grabbed:

“I’m truly grateful for your help, whether it was saving our dear Comrade Zengman or taking us in, and even willing to stand on the same front with us.

You are a truly great magical girl—my name is Zhao Jiequan, please give me guidance.”

“Haha, no need to be so polite,” the red-haired girl grinned, the lollipop stick in her mouth moving rhythmically.

“Who told me that I’m the mayor of Silver Shore City now?

Since I’m the mayor, I must unite all the forces that can be united to help me rebuild the city together.”

“Esteemed Kim Erise,” a golden-haired, short-haired little girl in her early twenties, who was missing an arm, strode over and gave a standard military salute.

“Thank you for everything you have done for the Community Party. Our comrades will never forget this kindness!

I am Aimen, and I hope you’ll give me some guidance in the future.”

“Pff, it’s just that I took you in, there’s nothing to thank…”

“You are mistaken,” Aimen said forcefully, her body exuding the iron-blooded temperament that matched her military uniform.

“In today’s world, where magical girls and humans are highly hostile to each other, you have taken a big step forward and made an extremely outstanding contribution to the reconciliation between the two sides in the future.”

“Uh, that…”

Kim Erise did not finish her response—or rather, she could no longer continue her response—because the people around her had all gathered, enthusiastically shaking hands and greeting her.

Those who couldn’t squeeze in were taking photos outside.

And Anjete was still holding onto one of her arms, glaring at the people around her with hostility, forcing the red-haired girl to repeatedly explain that those people could be trusted, and even pull her parents over to help.

With the double coaxing of Kim Erise and her parents, and the surrounding Community Party members all warmly, friendly, and cautiously stating their identities, the magical girl finally withdrew her hostile gaze.

Then, she shouted loudly in front of everyone: “In short, you all must remember, I am the one who will marry the Chief in the future. No one is allowed to fight with me, or don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

“Okay, okay, we won’t fight with you, we won’t fight with you.”

The adults around her all laughed, regarding this as a game between children and not taking it to heart, but An Dingzhou adjusted his slightly tilted hat, looking at his daughter with a meaningful expression.

“Um, everyone, let’s eat first, okay? Eat first!”

Seeing that the scene was a little too lively, the red-haired girl forced a laugh:

“I’m starving now. Let’s all eat first, talk while we eat, and then we’ll talk about serious business after we finish, how about that?”

“Of course, no problem!” Zhao Jiequan waved to the comrades around him, signaling them to return to their seats.

“We can’t let our benefactor starve. Come, please sit down; we’ve reserved the VIP seats for you.”

“No need, I’ll just stand. It hurts a bit down there, I really can’t sit down.”

I have to say that the hotels in the front district are really front district hotels; all the dishes on the table were the kinds that could only be seen at state banquets in the old human era.

Although they weren’t as flashy as the meals of the rich and powerful, each dish was carefully prepared by national treasure-level human chefs, combined with the unique abilities of magical girls.

Each bite could make people linger, making even the craziest foodies have to slow down and savor the excellent flavors.

Of course, the cost was also considerable—a state banquet for a hundred people was over a million Obsidian Coins.

According to the ratio of one Obsidian Coin to one Obsidian Seed, that would be over ten thousand Obsidian Seeds, which could be converted into the purchasing power to buy over a million human slaves, and still the high-quality ones.

And the red-haired girl obviously didn’t feel sorry for spending it at all.

The reason was also simple: as the former commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force, she lacked nothing but money.

Not to mention that the magical girl in charge of the hotel was also a fan of Kim Erise and had originally intended to waive the bill directly.

It was only after she insisted on stuffing money to show that she resolutely wouldn’t eat for free, that she symbolically accepted 500,000 Obsidian Coins, as well as a signed group photo.

“Excuse me, comrades present.”

As the banquet reached its end, and everyone had almost finished eating, a microphone sound suddenly came from the front of the hall.

It was a tall, skinny, long black-haired straight-haired girl standing on the podium, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a suit that was obviously too big for her.

Her lips were a bit too pale: “There are some things that, perhaps, I will be killed immediately if I say them, but even if I die, even if I am nailed in the coffin, I will shout from the grave with this decaying vocal cords—we must never cooperate with Kim Erise!!”

The harmonious banquet finally ushered in a discordant note.

“Katina, what are you doing?” Zhao Jiequan was the first to react, and he dashed to the podium, but was nimbly dodged by the other person. “No shenanigans at this time!”

“Let her speak, it’s okay,”

Compared to the many humans who were stunned in place, the red-haired girl didn’t seem surprised at all.

She put the boiled bok choy that was already on its way to her mouth back into the bowl, tilting her head and sizing up the other person: “I’m very curious, what’s her reason.”

“Because…”

Katina’s body trembled violently, and then she took a deep breath, trying to steady her mind, and shouted to the more than a hundred people below:

“Because Kim Erise, she is the incarnation of the devil! The evil butcher who dragged the world from heaven into hell!

The culprit who initiated the all-out war between magical girls and humans that resulted in the deaths of two hundred million people!”
