Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

So as a last resort, the savior Kal'tsit started the negotiations and docking with this group of Terrans in advance.

During this period, some people listened very carefully, such as the Archangel.

There are also people who are deserting their posts, such as W.

W really didn't understand and wasn't interested. She only cared about one thing.

But in order to leave a good impression, W endured it.

Seeing that the negotiation seemed to be almost over, Kel'tsit turned around and prepared to take this group of Terrans to the Holy City of Angels -

"Please, please!"

W finally couldn't help but yell, "Your Highness! Your Highness Theresa! Where is she?"

W was too reserved and even used the word "please".

But except for the savior Kel'tsit who was a little surprised when hearing this, the other angels—

You looked at me and I looked at you with a puzzled look on our faces.

"Theresia?"

"Your Highness?"

"Who?"

The angels looked at each other in bewilderment, as if they truly had no idea who the 'Her Highness Theresa' W was talking about was.

When W saw this, he immediately panicked.

"The one with pink hair! It has two horns. This one is longer, and this one is shorter, and then—"

W described Theresa's characteristics as detailed as possible.

It wasn't until Theresa's image became more and more concrete that someone among the angels finally remembered:

"Ah... I remember now. You're talking about that little tailor, right?"

"Tailor...tailor...?"

W seemed a little slow to react to Theresa's change of identity.

"correct."

The angel nodded and said, "That family consists of two siblings. The brother is an apprentice in the garrison, and the sister runs a small tailor shop to supplement the family income."

"This, this, this is like this..."

"But my sister's craftsmanship is indeed excellent. She can be said to be the best tailor in the Holy City of Angels. So when you said 'Your Highness', it really didn't match the image of that little Theresa, so I didn't connect it at first."

W: “…”

Good news, this is indeed the world line where Theresa is still alive.

Bad news, what is this singularity?

Her Highness Theresa... didn't become the Twin Kings, but just a small seamstress?

No, no, no, this doesn't mean that W feels regretful and thinks that Theresa in this world line doesn't match the image of Her Highness in her mind, okay?

It's just...W is really a short time, I can't imagine it...

"Being a small tailor is actually what Theresa really is."

Savior Kal'tsit glanced at W and said, "In the normal worldline, Theresa became the 'Demon King' simply because of the circumstances. If the coalition forces hadn't attacked Kazdel and the previous Demon King Eresh hadn't died, Theresa wouldn't have taken the stage."

Chapter 160 W Another world line that can never be reached.

What the Farstriders found in the Silver Mountains was not the Black Crown, but the Law.

Therefore, in this world line, not even a single "Demon King" has been born from the beginning to the end.

In addition, in this world line, 'Angel Generation' is a dominant power, and religious beliefs are spread throughout the entire land, so it is even more impossible for a coalition force to attack.

Therefore, if Theresa did not have the skill of "tailoring", then in this world line, Theresa would be completely unknown and invisible.

This is also the reason why Chen Ran asked Kal'tsit to come instead of the lost cat.

Because to the lost cat, who is Amiya? Who is Theresa? She really doesn't know.

The lost cat hasn't even been dug out by the doctor yet, let alone Rhodes Island.

"So... is that so? Is Her Highness... just an ordinary person here...?"

After learning the truth, W couldn't help but mutter to himself and followed the group of Terrans towards the "Holy City of Angels".

But unlike W's confusion, some angels who fell behind were whispering to each other with strange expressions on their faces:

"That little Theresa is actually being called 'Your Highness'. It seems like in that other worldline, little Theresa has a very high status."

"But... hey, you guys think this W looks a lot like Xiao Wei's kid... right?"

"Little Wei? Who? Ah...are you talking about the kid from Wishdale?"

"Impossible, impossible. Xiao Wei is such a well-behaved and sensible child. How could he...ah, I don't mean to say anything bad? Really not!"

"I understand, I understand, but when it comes to temperament and stuff... it doesn't seem to match, right?"

"Right, right, right. So, could it be that in another world line, Xiao Wei has an older sister or younger sister?"

Because these angels all have halos on their heads, they don't need to shout loudly to be heard by others.

Just through empathy, you can roughly understand what the other person means.

In this situation, W naturally knew nothing about the whispers of the group of angels behind him.

Although even if he knew, W would probably just be confused.

After all, W comes from the normal world line, and the current time point of the normal world line has just come to pull the Doctor out of the sarcophagus.

The whole movement did not fall apart, W did not think about revenge, and naturally he did not meet "Theresa", nor did he get the new name "Vishdale" from "Theresa".

However, when they entered the city and were about to start the classic session of old teachers guiding new students.

The savior Kal'tsit turned her head and glanced at W who was obviously absent-minded.

So with a sigh, the savior Kal'tsit took out a simple map and handed it to W.

After W reached out to take it with a confused look on his face, Kal'tsit pointed at the map and said, "The tailor shop is here, you can find it yourself."

"Ah? Ah..."

W immediately realized that the so-called 'tailor shop' referred to the place where Theresa was in this world line.

W naturally lowered his head quickly, memorizing the location of the tailor shop before looking up again and saying, "Thanks—wait, where's the person?"

This is a rare thank you from W, right?

But when I looked up, I found that the savior Kal'tsit had already left.

"Tsk..."

W made a meaningless smacking sound, then put the map in his pocket and turned away.

……

……

……

"Shit, wait... isn't that right?"

"I just realized it now."

"That old woman, Kal'tsit, wouldn't she think that since I can't understand what you say and can't learn, it's useless to go there."

"There was a meeting, and everyone was speaking enthusiastically, but I was just sitting there [Huh? Oh, I don't know, why are you asking me? When is dinner? What are we having for dinner tonight?]——"

"So instead of letting me embarrass myself, why not just let me stay where it's cool?"

W held the map and muttered as he walked.

She only realized now that she seemed to be disliked?

After realizing the truth, W immediately turned around and raised a middle finger towards where the savior Kal'tsit and the others were meeting.

However, when W noticed an angel passerby walking by, he thought about it and changed his middle finger to two fingers to make a "V" sign.

"Tsk, forget it, let me look at the map. I... ahem, I think I'm almost at that tailor shop, so I better not embarrass His Highness."

He turned around, lowered his head, and compared the map in his hand with the surrounding scenery.

She realized that she only needed to follow the path all the way to the end to reach the tailor shop.

W put the map away, took a deep breath, and walked over with a nervous mood.

Warm.

——This... is probably the first word that popped into W's mind when he saw the tailor shop.

There are several pots of unknown small flowers outside the store, and ivy dotted the green shade. Looking from the side, you can also see a few pieces of cloth placed on the table and the sound of sewing machines like accompaniment music.

Just walk a few more steps forward, just stand in front of the door of this tailor shop, and maybe she will see him, the prince in her mind.

But W was scared at this time.

She knew she only had to take a few more steps, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't take another step forward no matter what she did.

Until another girl's complaint was heard from the tailor shop:

"Sister Xia, I told you today is the day for people from another world to come visit us. All the guests have gone to watch the fun, so no one will come today."

"So Sister Xia, you really don't want to go and see the fun?"

After the girl complained, the gentle female voice that was enough to make W's heart stop was heard:

"I won't go. Xiao Wei, you know I don't like crowded places. But Xiao Wei, aren't you going? Didn't you say there are no customers today, so just let me handle the store affairs alone."

"How could I possibly leave you, Sister Xia, here all alone—ah, do I need to move this flower pot outside?"

"Oh yes, please help me, Xiao Wei."

As the words fell, there was the sound of footsteps.

The girl carrying a pot of flowers walked out of the store.

The next second, her eyes met W's.

"what……"

"what……"

Whether it was W or the girl called 'Xiao Wei', they had almost the same reaction.

And in the next second, they both came up with the same answer almost without any reason:

'She is me in this (another) world line.'

Chapter 161 Angel: I want to move the church onto the interstellar battleship.

W subconsciously looked at the girl in front of him called 'Xiao Wei'.

Unlike W's short hair that never seems to be combed, even after washing it, he would just use his fingers to randomly ruffle it a few times, making him look like a cat with its fur standing on end.

'Xiao Wei' had long hair that reached her waist and was combed very smoothly. She even had a small hairpin pinned on her ear.

Just from this point, it can be seen that 'Xiao Wei' is well taken care of.

And isn't 'Xiao Wei' also observing W?

'Eh... Is this another me?'

'Why doesn't she have a halo on her head?'

"And what's that behind me? A tail? Eh... my other self actually has a tail?"

"what……"

After a brief pause, Xiao Wei realized that she seemed a little rude, and began to be at a loss: "Well, um... hello?"

"Xiao Wei? What's wrong?"

From inside the store, came the gentle female voice.
