What do you mean by "this is a dating game"?

Chapter 39 Sister Ai is straightforward

The carriage stopped in front of the Cat Team headquarters, and Lala stood at the gate to greet them.

Emilia looked at Walker, who seemed unusually serious, and said, "Mr. Walker, we've arrived."

"Um."

Walker forced a smile and said, "I won't go in. Fox, you go with Peach."

Even Emilia, who was completely unaware of the situation, realized something was amiss at this moment.

Walker seemed preoccupied, clearly plotting something...

Emilia didn't ask any questions. She politely got out of the car with Fox and walked up to Lala.

"Miss Peach, you've arrived?"

Lala greeted him with a smile.

If Emilia and Fox saw a hybrid elsewhere, they wouldn't even give it a second glance.

But we should respect the Buddha's example, not the monk's.

Everyone here is a respectable person, able to suppress their inner resentment and show a friendly attitude.

Good morning, Ms. Lala.

Emilia pointed at Fawkes and said, "This is Fawkes, the leader of the Silver Wolf Gang."

"...Commander Fox, hello!"

"Hello, Ms. Lala. Emila's uncle is a high-ranking officer in my Silver Wolf Gang. I've come uninvited to serve as Emila's advisor; I hope you don't mind."

Lala nodded: "How could that be? Please come in."

The three of them walked toward the main building.

Fox was walking at the back, looking quite nervous!

Walker came to visit last night.

He got straight to the point, asking Fox if he knew someone named "Sig".

How could I not recognize you?

That's my good older brother!

Fox, intrigued, said enthusiastically, "Of course I know him! How could I not? Back then, it was under Brother Sieg's leadership that I had the honor of teaming up with Lord Oz. Ah, it's been eighteen years already, so nostalgic!"

Fox couldn't understand what Walker said next.

What is called—

"Oz is looking for Sieg?"

What is called—

"Sieg might be in Blackscale City now. The one who helped Emila escape might just be the same Sieg from back then."

The meaning is completely unclear.

Sig and Oz, aren't they dating?

You broke up?

Moreover, when Sieg left Blackscale City, he was already a fifth-tier expert.

Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. With Brother Sig's abilities, he should have reached the ninth rank long ago. How could he possibly save Emila in a first-rank Fire Palace?

absurd.

He voiced his doubts, and Walker was equally baffled.

But Lord Oz has given the order that this is the only clue we have, and we must come and see it even if it seems impossible.

Walker said, "Regardless, we should at least confirm it. That Sieg... might have been seriously injured and his strength has regressed? That happens quite often."

Fox nodded.

Damage to one's inner fire cannot be reversed by conventional means, and it is quite common for adventurers to experience a drop in rank.

Walker added, "Okay. Tomorrow, Peach is going to Grapefruit's place. You've met Sieg before, so go with her and take a look at him, alright?"

"no problem!"

"Remember, whether it is or not, don't alert them. And whatever you do, don't mention Lord Oz, understand?"

"clear!"

Fox took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Lala stood at the entrance of the activity room.

She said, "You two, I'm so sorry... Leader Xiyou just returned from the Sui Palace yesterday and hasn't gotten up yet... I'll go call her. Please sit in the activity room for a while. Mr. Daigen is inside; he'll take care of you."

"Mr. Oone?"

What a lewd name.

Emilia frowned.

Lala smiled and said, "Mr. Daigen is an outstanding Tier 1 adventurer and one of the official members of our Cat Team."

Click.

Lala opened the door, pointed to Sig who was standing facing the door after hearing the noise, and said, "That's Dagen."

I only glanced at it.

Fox's eyes widened!

Sig!

It's Brother Sieg!

Fox will never forget this face; it's exactly the same as it was eighteen years ago. It's Seager!

but……

Is it really Sieg?

Why is he so young, and exactly the same as I remember him?

As a human being, he should be getting old.

……

……

Sieg was deeply shocked.

Holy crap, Fox!

Dressed smartly and with a composed demeanor, eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Fox has transformed from a naive young man into a well-off middle-aged man.

Apart from a pair of squinty eyes that looked somewhat cunning and slightly curly chestnut hair, he bore almost no resemblance to his past self.

But Sieg recognized him at a glance.

Why is he here?

I can tell.

Fox recognized him too, his surprise was undisguised, and his fingers were trembling.

Sieg should feel fortunate.

Yesterday, the information Nefa revealed about Oz before leaving served as a warning.

While tossing and turning at night, he began to formulate a plan to deal with Oz's ideas.

Those ideas were still immature and had not been thoroughly demonstrated; Seager was unsure whether they would be effective.

At least for now, he has calmed down and quickly regained his composure.

Sieg, channeling his acting prowess, greeted Emilia and Fox with a friendly yet distant polite smile, as if meeting them for the first time.

"You must be Miss Peach?"

Lala left first and went upstairs to call Xiyou.

Sieg looked at Emilia in the black dress and said, "Hello! I'm Dagen, a member of the Cat Team."

"Hello, I am Emilia."

Emilia sized up "Big Root".

Unlike Fox, Emilia had never met Sieg and didn't know what he looked like.

She asked, "Dagen, that's...a strange name. Sir, that can't be your real name, can it?"

"It's definitely not my real name."

"Am I honored to know your name?"

Straight ball!

You love your sister, she doesn't have those complicated schemes, and she doesn't like riddles.

If there's anything you want to know, don't be afraid to ask.

Can I ask that?

Fox News was shocked!

He swallowed, becoming increasingly nervous.

After a strange, brief silence, Sieg smiled.

He said, "My name... I'm sorry, I'm not actually sure what my name is."

Emilia frowned. "What does this mean? How could you not know your own name?"

Sieg raised his hand and tapped his temple.

He gave a bright smile and said, "My memory is fragmented. I can't remember my childhood, I've forgotten my hometown. The only coherent memory begins after I came to this city—when I worked as a dockworker."

Oh, this.

Emilia grew increasingly confused, and she glanced at Fox with suspicion.

Fox looked bewildered.

Sieg added, "It's strange, isn't it? I worked as a dockworker for a month, and I don't know why I did it... You asked me my name, and I can only tell you that I might be called 'Sieg'."

"Sig?"

Emilia pressed, "Why do you think that? You're not... I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. You don't have any memories, do you?"

"That's why I said 'maybe,' I'm not sure."

Sieg laughed: "Ultimately, what I'm called doesn't matter. You can call me Sieg, or you can call me Dagen."
