"Ding, Dimensional Gate charging complete. Anchor world coordinates?"
"Ding, anchoring world coordinates…"
"Ding, world coordinates anchored successfully! Based on Host's memory retrieval, the current world is 'Binchotan'. Does Host wish to begin the Crossing?"
"NO!"
Zhong Chen, who had just opened his eyes, was directly hit by the system's prompt.
"Binchotan? Looks like I can take a short trip and bring those poor little ones back."
"However, the Dimensional Gate doesn't seem to be of much use to me now. I can just go there myself…"
Zhong Chen used his divine sense to scan the myriad worlds of the secondary dimension and found that he could easily break through world barriers and stroll over.
"Oh oh oh, look who it is, now it's 'this seat' and 'this seat' again, so inflated…"
"System, you little… don't make me hit you on such a happy day?"
"Come on, Host, if you can hit me, you're amazing!"
"Slap!"
"…Host, you win. You're ruthless!"
"Hmph hmph, trying to fight me!"
Click… "Master, it's time to leave for the venue. Lord Rimuru is already waiting for you downstairs."
The door opened and Sakuya walked in with toiletries, but after seeing Zhong Chen's appearance, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Um… Master, what happened to your face? Why is your right cheek so red?"
"Cough cough… There was a mosquito, yes, a mosquito. I dealt with it."
Hearing Zhong Chen's explanation, Sakuya turned her head and looked around the room.
How could there be mosquitoes here? With the Royal Knights around, let alone mosquitoes, even bacteria would have to be purified into probiotics before being allowed in.
"Gurgle gurgle… Ptooey…"
After brushing his teeth, Zhong Chen looked at the still puzzled Sakuya and quickly interrupted her thoughts.
"Sakuya, don't worry about these unimportant things. Let's go, Rimuru and the others must be getting impatient."
"Yes, Master."
As Zhong Chen arrived in the hall, Rimuru and the others, who were already waiting, also stood up and greeted him.
"A Chen!"
"Yo!"
"You're finally up, you're too slow! Even I'm up already!"
Hearing Milim's words, Zhong Chen gave her a disdainful look. If Zhong Chen deliberately stayed in bed in the morning,
then this fellow truly couldn't get up, sleeping until noon every day.
Damn it, why am I a little envious… "Alright, no more nonsense. Let's go."
"Okay."
Zhong Chen and the others, dressed in splendid attire, boarded the carriage under the escort of the Royal Knights.
On the open-top carriage, Zhong Chen looked speechlessly at the several dangerous beasts resembling steeds pulling the carriage in front.
"I say, why don't we use a car? Does it have to be so classical?"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Rimuru spoke with a helpless expression:
"It's all Rigurd. He insisted that only this way could it show the nobility of royalty or something."
"I knew it was that guy! Sigh, I really can't do anything about him…"
As soon as he heard it was Rigurd's arrangement, Zhong Chen gave up complaining. That guy had an almost obsessive stubbornness in this regard.
As the carriage continued to move forward, it soon arrived at the bustling central avenue in the city. Imperial Guard soldiers stood every meter along both sides of the road.
The bustling crowd watched in the direction of the approaching carriage, separated by the soldiers.
And at this moment, in different worlds, this scene was also being broadcast live simultaneously.
Because it was a national holiday, every citizen could watch at home.
"Look, look, they're coming…"
"It's Lord Zhong Chen and Lord Rimuru!!!"
"Behind them are Lord Milim and Lord Veldora!!!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
"Long live Lord Zhong Chen… Mmm mmm mmm…"
A Goblin was overly excited and was about to shout "long live," but was immediately covered by his companion's hand.
Then his companion whispered to him:
"You're cursing Lord Zhong Chen, aren't you?"
"Oh, I forgot in my excitement!"
Zhong Chen waved continuously to the surroundings while observing the crowd.
He found that he indeed saw many familiar faces.
For example, Mrs. Kamado, accompanied by her husband, looking at Zhong Chen with respect.
And Nezuko was standing obediently beside them, holding her younger brother.
Not only that, Zhong Chen also saw Mrs. Tamayo setting up a small stall to sell commemorative figurines.
Seriously, even on this day, she doesn't forget to promote her figurines!!!
Oh, isn't that Kanazawa and Ishii? How did they end up holding hands!
PS: Kanazawa and Ishii are from the world of "Girls' Last Tour."
"Chen Gege! Look here, look here!"
Hearing someone call him, Zhong Chen looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw Aihara Enju and Xiao Meihui, with Yuri and others, standing on a floating disc, constantly waving at Zhong Chen.
And Zhong Chen, upon seeing this, also smiled and waved back at them.
"Luffy, you scoundrel, stop eating! Don't you see Mr. Zhong Chen and Miss Rimuru coming?"
Nami had a dangerous smile on her face as she watched Luffy continuously stuff grilled meat into his mouth.
"Mmm mmm… But… it's really delicious!"
"That's right, Nami, you should try some too!"
Chopper next to him also had his mouth full of food, holding a giant cotton candy in his hand.
Nami immediately looked defeated and said:
"I shouldn't have brought you guys here. The lime coins I saved are almost all gone because of you…"
"Nami, let them have fun today. After all, such a grand day isn't common."
"Sigh, Vivi, just spoil them…"
Hearing Vivi's persuasion, Nami looked weakly at her wallet. My money!!!
"Rias, aren't you going down? That's Mr. Zhong Chen!"
In a three-story building by the road, Sona Sitri sat by the window, watching the approaching carriage, looking at Rias sitting opposite her with a teasing expression.
"Heh heh, why aren't you going down either?"
Hearing Rias's counter-question, Sona Sitri smiled slightly, propped her face with her right hand, and whispered:
"The distance between him and me is too far, but I will work hard. One day I will stand by his side."
"That's also why I'm not going down."
Just then, Himejima Akeno and Shinra Tsubaki and other girls came up with a pile of desserts.
"President!"
"Chairwoman!"
"Let's eat something first, then we still have to watch the broadcast."
Hearing their words, Rias and Himejima Akeno looked at the huge screen on the wall and nodded gently.
"I heard that this time, Lord Serafall will attend the conference as the Headmaster of Kuoh Academy, accompanying Chairwoman Shizu."
Rias suddenly thought of something and said to Sona Sitri.
"Your brother is also attending the conference as a high-ranking official in the government department this time."
"Heh heh, looking at it this way, this conference will probably have more important figures than imagined…"
