Chapter 33: Noldrei: What Could I Have Done Wrong?
Since Noldrei could restore Siegfried, he simply restored everyone.
He even thoughtfully preserved their transformation abilities, designing a new organ with a one-button transformation function specifically for everyone, located behind their necks.
Noldrei said solemnly, "I've decided, in the future, all officials of my empire will have similar functions."
"Don't just design these completely useless functions for others!"
Kiana was speechless. Was this a restoration? More like a transformation!
Siegfried rubbed the back of his neck and gently pressed the small lump behind it.
His body rapidly transformed into a huge mass of flesh, then quickly shrank back into the little dragon, Spike.
"Aww-aww-aww—!" 'It's real! This is insane!'
"Stop transforming!" Kiana even cursed. She extended a tentacle, picked up the little dragon, and also grabbed the clothes that Siegfried had taken off during his transformation, throwing him into another room.
"Put your clothes on before you come out."
After she finished, she asked suspiciously, "Why can you create clothes when you transform other people?"
"That requires other special organ abilities, but I think it's enough to just keep the transformation part for you. You can make clothes for them yourself when you have the ability."
"Phew—! It's still more comfortable in my original body. I didn't expect to be able to experience the feeling of having my arms back at this time."
Siegfried shook his new arms. He immediately felt like he was back in action.
Kiana looked at the group of people who had been restored and immediately felt that there wasn't enough space in the house.
This guy seemed like he really needed to find a very large office space.
"Wait, that doesn't make sense..." She looked at Noldrei strangely and asked, "Why did you suddenly restore them now? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have released them."
"Yes, but I didn't expect that you would come back without restraining your Honkai energy. You used Honkai energy without restraining it, and then ran back... even if you sneaked back through the sewers or somewhere." Noldrei also remembered her two searchlights.
"This place is already meaningless. Their purpose here is only as prisoners, not for hiding."
"Anyone who is a little smart will soon know that I have the ability to change other people's forms."
After hearing his explanation, Kiana realized that she not only hadn't caught anyone, but had also exposed her base.
'Wait, this isn't my base...'
She almost got used to it. The process of adapting to her new body these past few days was something that Kiana would never forget.
It was probably the time she had experienced the most shock in her life.
"Wait, wait, what are you talking about? Why is my friend's daughter, Raiden Mei, here? Why is Anti-Entropy's executor, Cocolia, here? Why has my daughter become like this?"
"It must be that brat's doing!"
Siegfried's head felt like it was filled with crap. He had never encountered anything so outrageous in his life.
He slapped his head and immediately found the culprit.
Future Person No. 03, the current Noldrei, it must have all been his doing.
Noldrei readily admitted his crimes and quickly recounted everything he had done since arriving in this world.
Noldrei pointed at Kiana and said, "First, it's her. She didn't even know that she had a gem hidden in her body, and she foolishly came to attack me. My self-defense was justified, right? I even helped her become a future person, don't I have a debt of gratitude to her?"
He then pointed at Raiden Mei and said, "This one, I sensed her with the gem. She also had a gem buried in her body without knowing it, and I saved her. Besides making her a pony for a while, and using her as bait to lure out the people behind the scenes. Don't I have a debt of gratitude to her?"
"And this one, don't look at how small she is, but she has a big chip hidden in her body. And she tried to monitor innocent people, and even resisted the capture of my imperial soldiers. It was only natural that I turned her into a pony, right?"
"And finally, this one with the biggest mammary glands, the mastermind I caught. It's only natural that I control and imprison her, right?"
"I've done so many good things, but you came to hinder me. You should be the one apologizing. Kiana, why is your father so unreasonable?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. It turned out that this guy actually understood the social morals of the primitives.
Bronya whispered to Raiden Mei, "Raiden Mei, Bronya thinks... what he said seems to make some sense."
Raiden Mei chuckled twice, pretending she didn't hear anything.
To be honest, she didn't think that Noldrei, who had knocked her out and taken her away, wanted to do anything good at the time. It was just that in the eyes of future people, similar things couldn't be considered bad.
"That's right, not only did you disappear without permission, but you also suddenly attacked my friend. No matter how you look at it, you're the one with the problem, Dad. Do you have anything else to say?"
Kiana thought that Siegfried should indeed be punished by being a little dragon for a while.
Siegfried was furious. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and pointed at Noldrei, saying, "This kid, making Raiden Mei walk around looking like you, don't you think there's a problem with that? What if he does something bad using your identity?"
Kiana pondered for a long time, looked at Noldrei with a puzzled expression, and slowly asked, "Is... there... a problem...?"
Siegfried looked at his daughter in disbelief. She was still wondering? Did she need to wonder about this?
"Of course not. I've been studying your local laws recently. I didn't expect that ancient people were already familiar with disguise surgery!" Noldrei exclaimed, "I performed surgery on Raiden Mei to give her your face. Does that count as infringing on your portrait rights? Of course not!"
"By the same logic, if I gave her a full-body surgery, and then she and her boyfriend made a video of them having sex, and then she suddenly had the idea of uploading it to a porn site, would that count as infringing on your portrait rights? Of course not! Because she really looks like that! So, in the laws of the primitives, physical tissue, no matter if it's real flesh or not, as long as it forms a likeness, it's definitely not illegal!"
"So, I was just taking Raiden Mei, who had undergone full-body surgery, out for a walk. I didn't even tell her that she was Kiana, and I didn't use your face to deceive your father! What did I do wrong? It's your father who's wrong!"
Kiana suddenly understood. If the law didn't define it as wrong, then her dad definitely couldn't interfere.
She slapped her thigh in surprise and said, "So it's not illegal, then you're really not wrong!"
Kiana patted Siegfried's shoulder and said with a smile, "Dad, you're overthinking it. How could this be a big deal? He wouldn't do anything with my identity. Don't worry, he doesn't like anything that we primitives have."
'Don't accept the identity of a primitive so easily!' *3
The other three didn't know how to comment. Did this white-haired dumpling have something wrong with her brain? Was that the point?
"Is... is that so?"
Siegfried looked at Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Cocolia in confusion, hoping that they would also give him an explanation.
These three had long since had enough of the pony life and wouldn't easily oppose Noldrei.
They immediately nodded, indicating that the Emperor of Nagazora City was right!
He suspected that he might be the one who had made a mistake.
Why did these people so naturally accept the fact that their forms could change at will?
'Could it be... this is the conspiracy of the new Herrscher?!'
Siegfried's expression was uncertain. He couldn't find anything wrong for a while.
In his previous feeling, the only Honkai energy that Siegfried sensed was Kiana.
When he thought that the person with the highest Honkai energy reaction among those present was actually his daughter, his expression became even stranger.
He looked at his daughter, who still had a smile on her face, and his thoughts gradually fell into chaos.
