On the surface, they are all organizations whose mission is to maintain world peace, but in fact, Kama Taj and S.H.I.E.L.D. are not the same thing at all.

The former is an organization established by a group of hermits gathered together, detached from the world.

Anything that will harm the world, no matter who it is, will be dealt with without harming the world, no matter how dangerous it looks, it will not interfere. The actions of the mages will never be based on secular legal principles.

The latter seems to maintain an independent position, but in fact, it cannot escape the intervention and influence of politicians.

After all, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Strategic Science Corps founded by Howard, was itself an organization established by the U.S. military with a layer of skin.

What's more, there is still a poisonous snake hidden in the depths of SHIELD now.

The nature is completely different, and Shi Xiaolei's attitude towards the two forces is naturally different.

No, on Natasha's side, she tried her best to inquire, but in the end she got no information. On Daniel's side, Shi Xiaolei took the initiative to say it without him asking.

"That's how it goes..." Because so, so and so. After a while, Shi Xiaolei told Daniel what he thought.

"..."

He didn't answer for a long time, he just stared at Shi Xiaolei and looked at Shi Xiaolei, about half a minute later, Daniel sighed and shook his head with a helpless smile: "Man, let's not say whether I can do it or not, even if I can, you Do you think it's appropriate?"

"Huh?" A little surprised, Shi Xiaolei blinked blankly.

"Famous, famous." Seeing that Shi Xiaolei wasn't enlightened, Daniel could only tell the truth: "Dude, that's our Karma Taj's unique patent. You just talk like that, and when you talk about it, you just want to... ...even though we're friends, this time, man, you're going a little too far, you know?"

"Uh~."

After Daniel said this, Shi Xiaolei suddenly woke up and realized what was wrong.

really……

Why should people agree to this request? Is it just the friendship that Bayonita has accumulated after accepting 'employment' for a long time by placing an order with Kama Taj? Or is it that he is close enough to Gu Yi that he can talk to her casually and ask for benefits?

Let's start with the contribution that Bayonetta made to Kama Taj.

It is true that because of Bayonita's help, Gu Yi shared a lot of pressure, and the number of attrition of mages when they went to battle was also greatly reduced than before. But thinking about it carefully, the reason why Beyonita went to help clear the monsters was entirely because she needed the souls of monsters as sacrifices, and the demons who sacrificed to her contracts were not here to help the mages.

The mages of Kama Taj are responsible for finding prey for Bayonetta, and in turn, Bayonetta is in charge of fighting and solving monsters they can't handle for the mages. This is a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship in which both parties get what they get, and it is impossible to talk about who suffers and who takes advantage.

What's more, Gu Yi opened up Kama Taj's book to Bayonita, allowing her to learn a lot of new spells, and gave her several items, including Suspended Rings and Setorak's Crimson Devil Belt. Magic props. Her contribution to the fighting lessons for the apprentices at Kama Taj alone could not offset the benefits Gu Yi gave her.

Counting inside and out...

Bayonetta paid more? From an objective point of view, I really can't say that.

Look at the friendship between your family and Gu Yi.

Familiar, but apart from Bayonetta, there doesn't seem to be much contact, and there are deeper benefits and gains and losses, not to mention.

If it is said that the relationship with Stark has reached the point of being a best friend at the same table, then the friendship with Kama Taj is probably equivalent to a classmate who has met several times in the corridor. With such a little affection, why do you ask people to 'borrow money'?

The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. Shi Xiaolei couldn't help holding back a big red face: "I was abrupt, so what, Daniel, sorry..."

"In terms of personal friendship, we can be considered friends. If you just want to do me a favor, that's fine." Daniel nodded and sighed earnestly: "As for what you said just now... buddy, It's not that I don't give you face, it's really inappropriate."

"I know I know." Scratching his head, Shi Xiaolei laughed awkwardly: "I didn't notice it before, thanks to your reminder. That...Thank you, Daniel."

"Thank me for what." Shaking his head, Daniel said with a smile: "You just don't blame me. Those words I just said were a bit heavy, buddy, wouldn't you mind?"

"No way."

With Daniel's reminder, he saw the facts clearly. While speaking, Shi Xiaolei had already given up the idea of ​​asking the mages to help set up the fixed-point teleportation array.

But what surprised him was that after he gave up asking for help and went back to the manor, only a few hours later, when it was dark at night...

In the manor, it is almost 300 meters away from the main house, separated by a windbreak forest, and on the beach on the sea side.

Being fooled by Saratoga's rhetoric, Conner came forward and proposed to Shi Xiaolei 'go to the beach to enjoy the shade while having a barbecue' proposal, so what was originally an ordinary dinner turned into a dinner on the beach. Open-air BBQ party.

Since it is a party, there is no need to be so serious.

In addition, he hadn't come back for a while, and the work in the manor was all on the maids. I felt that they should be very hard during their stay, so Shi Xiaolei simply made the scale a little bigger, and even the maids brought the minions. Called over together, planning to organize a house party that everyone can participate in.

The prestige of getting the maid skills to the full level has already been regarded as an idol by the maids headed by Cinderella, and has become the teacher they want to ask. At this moment, she is fighting back with her sister, and several maids are orderly arranging the venue.

Under the makeshift shed, Lexington and Yat-sen are preparing ingredients. Just like Reputation and Counterattack, there are several maids here to help them both.

As for Shi Xiaolei, he is unloading dry wood from the battery cart driven by the maid... Whether it is a fire for barbecue or a bonfire simply lit to increase the atmosphere, firewood must be used. Speaking of which, among so many people on the beach, his job was the most tiring.

"Xiao Lei Xiaolei, do you want me to help?" Not knowing whether it was because of filial piety or just wanting to join in the fun, Kang Na suddenly ran in front of Shi Xiaolei.

Wearing a very cute swimsuit with a pair of small flip-flops under her feet, Kang Na's little round face looked very cute, how could Shi Xiaolei let her work hard.

"No, no." He squatted down and let Kang Na feed him a glass of cool juice. Shi Xiaolei patted the little girl's arm dotingly: "Go play, I'll fix it right here. Here, wait over there. With you."

Looking in the direction of Shi Xiaolei's finger, not far away, Saratoga is waving here.

Although they have not known each other for a long time, Conna and Saratoga have become good friends because they both like to play. No, seeing Saratoga waving at her, Conna's little face immediately showed a happy smile.

After looking at Saratoga, then at Shi Xiaolei, after a moment of hesitation, the little girl made a choice: "Then I'll go over there."

"go Go."

Watching Conna run towards the beach, she was about to walk towards the pile of firewood that was not fully set up, when suddenly, Shi Xiaolei stopped again - just behind Saratoga, almost twenty meters away. On the beach, an orange-red light circle appeared.

Hela, who thought it was living next door, heard the movement and brought sisters Susan and Emma over to join in the fun. But the next second, the figure walking out of the portal made him involuntarily show a surprised expression.

How could it be her?

Putting down the firewood in his hand, Shi Xiaolei stepped forward with full of surprise.

Faster than Shi Xiaolei's reaction, Saratoga had already turned around first, and the man who suddenly appeared in the conflict took a defensive posture...

Maybe someone is going to ask, isn't it the portal that you take when you come back to New York? Now that I have seen the portal opened by Bayonetta, why does Saratoga have such a big reaction now?

The reason is very simple. The portal that Bayonetta opened was pink, and the aperture that appeared in front of her eyes was orange. Although the use of the two is the same, but just looking at the appearance, the difference is still quite big.

Saratoga didn't realize that the person who came here could be an acquaintance.

In addition, it is also a matter of habit... For the ship girls living in another world, they have long been used to being cautious. After all, their enemies in that world, that is, the people in the Deep Sea Fleet, are actually a group of guys who look similar to the ship's mother, but are full of differences in details.

In other words, the ship girls have long been accustomed to using the principle of 'generally the same, but there are some differences in details' to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the aperture that appears in front of them now satisfies this principle.

"Who?" Not only did he show his stance, Saratoga even summoned his ship outfit very vigilantly and switched himself to a combat form.

"Hey, hey~! Saratoga, don't be nervous~!"

He ran over in three steps and two steps. He first stopped Saratoga, who called himself a sister-in-law every day, and gave her a soothing smile. Then, Shi Xiaolei turned around and raised his hand to greet the person who came: "Hello, Master Gu Yi."

"Brother-in-law, are you an acquaintance?" As he asked, he looked at Gu Yi carefully. After two or three seconds, Saratoga put away his stance and withdrew his ship suit.

‘Fortunately, it is a bald head, no threat. ’

If he could hear what Saratoga was muttering in his heart, Shi Xiaolei would definitely not be able to resist giving her a brain-breaker.

"Old acquaintance." He patted Saratoga's arm and gave her an order, 'You go play, I'll receive you', Shi Xiaolei took a few steps forward with a smile: "Master Gu Yi, why are you here? Are you looking for Bayonetta? She's over there..."

"I'm here to find you." Gu Yi replied with a smile and shaking his head.

"Huh?" A little surprised, Shi Xiaolei stood there blankly, blinking in confusion.

"Is there anything to drink?" Looking at the shed not far away, Gu Yi stepped forward, like a neighbor who came to be a guest, and walked over very freely. As she walked, she smiled at Shi Xiaolei: "I heard that you just went to the temple and chatted with Daniel for a while?"

"Uh, oh." Recalling the incident a few hours ago, Shi Xiaolei had a guess in his heart: "Yes, Master Gu Yi, you are because of that..."

"Almost." Gu nodded slightly: "I thought you would let Beyonita open a portal and go directly to Kama Taj to find me. I didn't expect you to go to the New York Temple."

"...So, you already knew I was going to find you?"

"No." Gu Yi shook his head: "It's what Daniel told me. What I meant just now was, I didn't expect to do that with your character. After all, you've always been very direct, and you came to me directly over Daniel, It's more in line with your usual style, isn't it?"

"Uh..." It turned out that it was not what he imagined. Hearing Gu Yi's answer, Shi Xiaolei suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

While they were talking, the two had come under the shed and stood in front of the table with the insulation bucket.

"Hello, Master Gu Yi." Yixian greeted her with a smile. Without Gu Yi opening her mouth, she gave her a glass of iced watermelon juice that was just made: "Long time no see, how are you?"

"It's good, it's just a bit boring to stay on the mountain." First, he smiled and thanked Yixian, then Gu Yi winked at Yixian again: "No, I'm fine, so I came out and walked around, but I turned around. Turning around, I ran to your house. It came a little suddenly, you wouldn't mind, would you?"

"Of course not." Yixian shook his head: "Master Gu Yi, we are preparing dinner~lightnovelpub.net~ If you have nothing to do, let's eat together."

"Then I'm welcome." Gu Yi smiled and nodded: "To tell you the truth, there are not many of us who can cook. Every day is either porridge or noodles, and even rice is rarely eaten once. It's rare to have a chance today. , I'm ready for a big meal. Oh, and crabs, so big, can you leave me a tong later? I like crab tongs the most."

"Okay, what do you like to eat, steamed or..."

"It's all right, just a little..." Gu Yi raised his finger and pointed to the bottles and jars in the basket in the corner of the table: "Don't be too spicy. I've been a little angry recently, and I don't dare to eat too spicy."

"Okay, I know."

Hou was on the side, and when Gu Yi and Yi Xian finished talking, Shi Xiaolei asked her again: "Master Gu Yi, you just said... because of the incident in the afternoon?"

"yes."

"That is to say..." With a bit of anticipation and a bit of confusion, Shi Xiaolei asked: "You agree?"
