Chapter 308: Chrysidia: Why Does the Etiquette of the Old Dynasty Still Exist?
"Tsk tsk, Hei'e is completely venting his anger this time..."
Kenji and the others were watching the "livestream." Hei'e had gone on a killing spree. No tactics, no maneuvering, just the most direct massacre.
An attack condensed from the power of hundreds of millions of Fire Seeds, freely venting the fury accumulated over tens of millions of time loops.
Even Big Herta and the other geniuses couldn't help but look sideways. Such a crazed person was usually only seen among the Pathstriders of Destruction.
"Bai'e..."
Mimi clutched her chest, her heart aching. Bai'e had endured too much. Perhaps venting his anger like this could bring him some relief.
Kenji was a little curious. Hei'e ("Hungry?" / "Evil?") had brought the "braised noodles" (destruction). Would Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction, show up?
[Galactic Baseballer]: "Godfather, we're about to go meet Chrysidia. She's an Empress, right? Is there anything special we need to pay attention to?"
Star Forger: "There is, brother, there is. When you meet Chrysidia, you have to perform a 'hand-kissing' etiquette, and... Just remember that."
Himeko and the others couldn't bring themselves to do it, but Hoshi... she would really shove it in her mouth.
Caesar Chrysidia hated this kind of etiquette the most. Kenji wondered if Hoshi would be dragged out and executed if she actually did it.
[Ahoge King]: "A hand-kissing etiquette is understandable, but... is there really that kind of etiquette?"
Hand-kissing is a high-class Western custom. Foot-kissing is an Indian custom.
Kenji sent an image directly.
[Galactic Baseballer]: "Hiss... haaa... awesome! Since we're meeting an Empress, proper etiquette is a must. We Nameless always observe proper etiquette."
Hoshi wiped her drool. This is the Empress vibe! But she feels a bit short.
It's just etiquette! As a Nameless, I'll take the lead! It's my duty!
[Gudako]: "Someone open a door for me, quick! I want to pay my respects to the great Empress Chrysidia too!"
She was a connoisseur. She was tired of the food in her own world, so experiencing the taste of another world would be great.
"Ahem, darling, let's go pay our respects later too♪."
Elysia's eyes were sparkling. This Empress, who looked small but very capable... she should pay her respects in person. No other meaning.
Kenji glanced at Elysia. You just want to 'pay your respects,' huh? I won't even expose you.
[Sherry]: "Wait, people are fighting to perform this kind of etiquette?"
Shiho Miyano couldn't understand. Can you guys really bring yourselves to do that?
She was lying on her bed, seriously looking at her own feet. They were white as jade, glowing with a soft luster...
"Shiho, what are you looking at?"
A head popped out from behind the door, looking at her sister with slight surprise. Following her gaze, she could see...
Looking so intently... does my sister have some special fetish?
"Ahem, I didn't see anything. Everyone has hobbies. It's normal," Akemi Miyano said understandingly, then turned and left, saving her sister some face.
"Sister, you... I..."
Shiho Miyano's mind went blank. A blush spread from her neck to her cheeks. She didn't know what to say.
"Uuuuu..."
A second later, Shiho Miyano threw herself onto the bed, burying her head under the pillow and whimpering.
[Shizu-cute]: "You'll get used to it. It's normal for some group members to go crazy."
[The Champion]: "I'm used to it. Besides, people with special fetishes aren't actually that rare."
[God's Tongue]: "It's just human nature, I suppose."
Hessian led everyone to Caesar's palace, where they met Empress Chrysidia.
Sitting on her throne, Chrysidia still had a very dignified presence, enough to make one temporarily ignore her height.
Blue flames burned on the crown atop her head, like lit candles.
"Visitors from beyond the sky, pleased to meet you."
"The world has given me many titles, but you may call me by my true name—Chrysidia," Chrysidia said indifferently.
"Respected Empress, please allow me to offer the etiquette representing the Express Crew," Hoshi stepped forward and said very seriously.
Himeko and the others were bewildered. A bad feeling rose in their hearts. Hoshi seemed about to do something "abstract" again.
The key was, Hoshi was using the name of the Nameless. If she embarrassed them, it would be the reputation of the Nameless on the line.
"Very well."
Chrysidia frowned. As Empress, she didn't refuse, even though she disliked such cumbersome formalities.
A hand-kissing etiquette, is it? I can barely accept that.
Hoshi approached Chrysidia and licked her lips. This is just etiquette. No other meaning.
She lowered her head and gently kissed the back of Chrysidia's hand. Her performance of the etiquette was perfect.
Swish—
After the hand-kiss ended, under the stunned gazes of Chrysidia and everyone else, Hoshi moved, her actions practiced and skillful.
Chrysidia felt a cool breeze. Her brain short-circuited instantly.
Kenji felt his own skin was thick enough, but compared to this "Stellaron spirit," he had to concede defeat.
Qlipoth: Send her here. To build walls.
"You..."
Chrysidia's brain had crashed. What is she doing? She couldn't even react to resist in that moment.
Hoshi was "eating a popsicle," tasting it very seriously, her expression perfectly solemn.
Perhaps because of the Golden Blood of Destruction, Hoshi herself had the power of the Destruction Path, creating a compatibility, an attraction like a magnet.
"Boss, you make the call. Let's kick this guy off the Express Crew," March 7th said faintly.
Truly eye-opening. Even if you're being 'abstract,' you can't be THIS 'abstract'! The Nameless, whose backs had just straightened because of Akivili's return, were now completely bent over again, never to straighten up.
Surprisingly, even Himeko and Welt, the seniors, didn't speak up for Hoshi.
Akivili had black lines all over his forehead: "It's all Aha's fault."
It must be because that jerk looked at Hoshi that she became so 'abstract'.
"Scapegoat King" Aha: Aha takes the blame from time to time, but Aha won't take the blame for everything.
Chrysidia looked down, her fists instantly clenched hard. You're sucking on a popsicle!
"Heh heh..."
When people are extremely angry, they really do laugh.
Why does the etiquette of the Old Dynasty still exist now?
No, even the Old Dynasty didn't have this kind of etiquette! Who puts it directly into their mouth?! She was thunderstruck.
BANG—
Chrysidia delivered a powerful kick, sending Hoshi flying out of the palace and landing on the square outside. There was a clear footprint on Hoshi's face.
Kenji (thinking): This is still rewarding her.
