Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

A chaebol who learned the news in advance drove a van full of cash to the headquarters of this [Emergency Rescue Force] - Uesugi Erie rented an office floor in Genji Heavy Industries' office building for 100 million yen per month.

"My son is a bit naughty. These funds are not a gift, but only for your daily expenses... no, for the Ministry of Emergency Situations."

"If you still need funding, or need to purchase other equipment, please feel free to ask. I know many medical device processing factories and can provide you with a lot of equipment at cost price."

This is not decent. Going to the door and giving money just to let your good-for-nothing son have some contact with the real "upper class".

There are many people like this.

Except for the people from the Eight Snake Families, almost all the chaebols regarded this newly established [Emergency Rescue Force] as a good place to gild their own family members - at the very least, they had to make themselves familiar to those new forces that suddenly emerged, let them know that everyone was "one of them", and never hurt anyone by mistake.

Of course, in addition to these people, there are also some "righteous people" who are enthusiastic about public welfare and really capable; or they are "fun people" who have nothing to do at home all day and want to find something to do for themselves.

They said they don't want a salary and are available 24 hours a day - even their network of contacts is equally powerful, and they have considerable influence in almost every field.

Such a popular situation was something Uesugi Eri had never imagined.

——In her imagination, her newly established [Ministry of Emergency] is actually more like a larger "Handyman's Office"... It is already very good if it can solve problems for the people in a district.

"As of 12 noon today, we have received 3000 applications through various channels."

"Mashu and I have tried our best to select... but despite this, we still have 800 people left." 923 "This is the power of [righteousness]."

Holding the roster in his hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed at the power of "status".

The previous Eight Snake Families, known as the "Rulers of Shadows", controlled everything in this country.

But so what.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they are a group of social scum... Normal people would never think of having any contact with them.

But it's different now.

After gaining the reputation of "righteousness", those rats who used to be able to rule in the dark corners are now standing in the sun openly and even shouting high-sounding slogans such as "people live a happier life".

——Is it ironic?

"Do not."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head, not finding the irony in it at all.

On the contrary, she just felt fortunate.

Fortunately, Uesugi Erie's wish prompted the people of the Snake Eight Families to take this step on their own initiative.

It is better to let dangerous half-bloods walk in the sunshine under the guise of justice than to let them hide in dark corners and wear the skin of the underworld.

in other words.

No matter how unpleasant the phrase "beast in human clothing" sounds, it's at least better than "worse than beasts," right?

Chapter 268: The Potion Master's Secret Weapon

Tokyo, Minato.

In the villa where Morgan lives.

Uesugi Eri hasn't been back here for a long time.

The Ministry of Emergency Management was very busy, and because it had just been established, the young girl was particularly enthusiastic about her work.

Whenever a call comes in, even if it's a task like "finding a lost cat," she will gather people to do it.

——Of course, this kind of task is only a minority among the minority.

Most of the missions are actually tasks with relatively clear objectives: for example, the car broke down on a mountain road, or a drunk was about to start a fight.

They are all trivial matters that even the police won't care about.

But it is these little things that seem insignificant when mentioned individually, after being resolved, that gradually condense into an incredible "big thing".

[Ministry of Emergency Management].

With its extremely high efficiency and a working style that does not require money but only praise, this department, which was established less than two months ago, quickly gained a huge influence in Tokyo.

The department is widely regarded as a model of the new government's achievements and is widely praised.

Under the leadership of this "model project", the [Emergency Management Departments] of other counties and cities also started preparations.

They are no longer under the management of Eri Uesugi.

Even the person in charge of Tokyo's Emergency Management Department is not the 15-year-old Uesugi Erii, but a middle-aged man in his forties who looks a bit chubby.

This was done intentionally.

This Ministry of Emergency Management was established because of Eriya Uesugi's wish, but when it was actually established, it had nothing to do with Eriya Uesugi anymore.

——It has nothing to do with anyone.

“It’s like light.”

"The tiny glimmers of light emanating from each of us will eventually come together to become a shining giant of light."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said with emotion.

She felt a very familiar aura from this [Ministry of Emergency Management], as if she had returned to the former Chaldea.

——Note that the "Chaldea" here refers specifically to the remnants of Chaldea led by the doctor named [Romani Achiman] after the huge explosion in Chaldea.

There were no conflicts of interest, no strange thoughts. Facing the terrifying future of the disappearance of human reason, everyone was doing their best to contribute their own strength.

"I know I know."

"This is Ultraman Tiga."

Uesugi Erii raised her hands high, with a serious look on her pretty face, as if to say, "I want to contribute my light, too."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also wanted to appear innocent.

But when she also raised her hands high, wanting to offer her own "light" - she discovered with some sadness that no matter what, she could no longer be as serious as Eri in front of her, and at the same time smile as happily.

"is it?"

She suddenly realized something:

It turns out that the one who truly "doesn't believe" that Ultraman exists in this world is actually herself.

……

In the alchemy workshop on the second floor of Lingang Villa.

Even though Uesugi Eri had left, Morgan still didn't stop the work in her hands.

——Or maybe, to her, it’s no longer “work”.

The originally large room is now filled with cabinets of various sizes, on which are placed colorful bottles.

Shirataki walked around the room, looking at the bottles curiously.

He didn't understand potions, but he knew that the effects of each potion were different.

——Even when the formula is exactly the same, their effects can sometimes be completely different.

"how did you do that?"

Shirataki asked curiously, holding two bottles of potions in his hands.

The formulas of these two bottles of potion are exactly the same, but the colors are completely different - one bottle looks quite cool grass green, and the other bottle is a crimson red like a burning flame.

And their effects... one bottle is a sleeping pill that can make people fall asleep quickly, and the other bottle is a stimulant that can make people excited instantly.

If Shirataki hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that the same herb could produce medicines with completely different effects.

Morgan glanced at her, then turned back and continued to devote himself to the bubbling crucible, with no intention of answering Shirataki's question.

——She didn't like talking to this kind of magic idiot.

There is a reason why Vina is not good at magic, and this source is undoubtedly the white dragon in front of her - the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a dragon that advocates violence. "Magic" is a crooked way for them, and they resist it from the bottom of their hearts.

Incidentally, the Red-Eyes Black Dragons, the counterparts to the Blue-Eyes White Dragons, are dragons skilled in various magical techniques. While they don't possess significant offensive power, they are highly skilled in using various magical techniques in combat.

"Don't want to say?"

"Then I'll guess."

“The materials are the same, the techniques are the same, even the environment is the same.”

"The only problem then can only occur to you, a medicine refiner."

"If you didn't secretly use some kind of drug that could change the potion's properties... then the answer is actually [emotions], right?"

Shirataki looked at Morgan and revealed the most important secret for a potion master:

[Emotion] is also a medicine.

It is also a very important medicinal ingredient.

Positive emotions can bring various positive benefits, while negative emotions will give the potion an ominous color.

——This is just the most basic application.

There are also some unique potions that require extremely strong [emotions] as an inducement to complete their production.

For example... the gender-changing potion.

Well, it is really hard to imagine what kind of mood Morgan in the parallel world was in when he concocted the magic potion that can change gender.

"So, the reason why the potion that Eri brewed previously had two effects was because she couldn't control her emotions well at the time."

Shirataki continued - these things that were quite secretive to others were just simple "facts" in his eyes.

It was like a layer of window paper, which could be broken with just a poke if he wanted to.

At this point, Morgan finally stopped what she was doing and looked at Shirataki with a slightly impatient look.

"so."

"What on earth do you want from me?"

Chapter 269: Morgan Le Fay's Grave

Morgan doesn't like Shirataki.

To be exact, she clearly dislikes everyone in this world.

——Including that stupid, gluttonous illegitimate sister, whom she also dislikes.

However, this kind of "dislike" and "hate" are two completely different concepts.

She simply didn't like the way these people acted, and hated working with such foolish people—a king who upheld chivalry and a human being who held to the principles of [Nobleness] sounded equally foolish.

Don't rush to refute. She knows that Shirataki is no longer the "fourth beast" he once was—but dragons may grow, but their essence remains unchanged. If he had to do it again, he would still choose the path that was so stupid that it made her laugh.

But what’s interesting is that this woman named “Morgan Le Fay” is extremely disgusted with these stupid guys, but at the same time, she is extremely disgusted with those “smart people” of the same type as her.

For example, Merlin.

And those kings/lords whose brains are far inferior to Merlin's, but whose ambitions are much greater than Merlin's.

She also didn't like working with those conspirators, because she wasn't sure if she would pour a deadly potion down their throats at the next moment. But she didn't want to stay with these stupid-looking guys for a long time, because she suspected that they might make her mind go as crazy as before.

In short, this woman named "Morgan le Fay" is such a tangled and twisted woman.

She probably knew this herself.

That's why she locked herself in a small house - whether it was this villa or the wooden house on the shore of Fairy Lake.

But even though she doesn't look for trouble, trouble always likes to find her.

"What potion do you want from me?"

Morgan looked at the man in front of her who clearly needed help from her but was too embarrassed to ask her for help and refused to leave. Her patience had already reached its limit.

She could only take the initiative to speak up, intending to use some potions to get rid of this troublesome guy.

——She found that this man and that stupid illegitimate daughter were surprisingly similar.

Especially in terms of being "thick-skinned", they are exactly the same.

But Shirataki shook his head, indicating that he didn't want the potion.
