Chapter 763 - 29: King of the Moon, I Negotiate Terms

"What’s the matter, Your Majesty..."The young girl in a luxurious dress smiled at him and then took a few steps forward, her voice soft as she breathed, "Could it be that you think my actions just now were too ruthless, and so you have an opinion about me?"

"There’s naturally no such thing, don’t overthink..."

Gu Mo gently shook his head, decisively and earnestly explaining, "It’s just that I’m not quite used to your current appearance, I mean the exterior, not any other issue—in fact, when we’re face to face, let’s not use such titles, it feels a bit awkward."

He actually didn’t mind those things too much, and indeed felt that they could be overlooked, but he wouldn’t say it at this moment, nor would he rebuke Tamamo no Mae for it. After all, no matter what, she was wholeheartedly maintaining him, acting from the stance of her interests.

But one cannot benefit from others and then claim moral superiority, smoothly blaming her for everything, or even berating her confidently... Gu Mo couldn’t bring himself to do such things, and earnestly told her not to imagine anything, as he had no such thoughts.

"I see, then I’m relieved. But appearance is nothing, really; as long as I slightly alter my Spirit Base, reverting to my original form is actually quite easy..."

The young girl in the luxurious dress chuckled and nonchalantly brushed back the hair hanging beside her ear.

"The main issue now is that my current identity has been cemented by the historical foundation of this Anomaly Domain, and there’s no way to change this basic identity information. In such a situation, actively revealing my fox tail isn’t a good idea; it would cause trouble for the Master."

After all, since ancient times, once the Nine-tailed Demon Fox is associated with court politics, power, concubines, and the like, it inevitably leads people to think in a certain direction.

— And it is definitely not a favorable direction.

Even in the advanced Sea of the Moon, turmoil could arise due to this issue, as no matter how you look at it, the core of The Only True Country remains a feudal empire, and since someone as the King of the Strange Realm is the core monarch of this Anomaly Domain, the whole world exists because of them.

So in this situation, avoiding such matters is probably for the best.

"That said, regarding those people earlier, Master, how do you intend to handle them?" Her eyes fluttered as she shifted the topic, the young girl in the luxurious dress asked like she was curious.

"..."

"..."

A brief, yet subtle silence ensued.

Gu Mo glanced at her, sighed, and said, "I’m also considering this problem; for now, let’s just have them calm down."

To be honest, he was truly stunned when discovering the existence of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others in this world. After all, he even assumed that due to butterfly effects, Chaldea and others wouldn’t escape, yet never considered they would directly transfer to this world.

— So what exactly has happened?

— Weren’t they supposed to be navigating the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, preparing to transfer into the Anomaly Domain to begin their second Grand Order journey?

And why have they appeared here in Fuyuki City in this world?!

For a split second, he couldn’t help but wonder if he’d traveled to the Anomaly F Domain instead of another Parallel World... Or was it some kind of crossover event?

Because there was no early detection, he almost didn’t make it back in time to prevent the fleet from collapsing halfway before their second Grand Order’s exploratory journey even began... Thinking of this, Gu Mo couldn’t help but sigh.

He scrutinized the young girl in the luxurious dress in front of him, deliberating before speaking: "Tamamo, don’t you know Gudah and the others?"

"Of course, I do; didn’t we meet once before in the Seventh Anomaly?... What’s the matter, Master? Is there a problem?"

Miss Tamamo no Mae responded quite nonchalantly, with a somewhat indifferent tone.

"..."

"..."

"...Nothing."

After a brief silence, Gu Mo still shook his head.

When manifesting this Anomaly Domain, he had already sensed the troublesome situation, unwilling to let them deal with the hassle of extra clones spontaneously, so he straightforwardly invited them to be summoned together in the form of Divine Spirits, this process completed in other worlds.

In other words, the current Tamamo is indeed the Tamamo he knows, not another who appeared alongside the Anomaly Domain.

However...

Differences still exist.

For example, in the real dimension and in Nioh World, Tamamo has Divine Spirits stationed, and different clones are led by different tails. Though strictly speaking they’re the same entity, as different facets, each individual’s personality has distinct tendencies.

And this current one is very obviously like the Demon Concubine Daji... or something similar?

Overall, that’s the general tendency.

Despite knowing people from Chaldea, she doesn’t think they have much of a connection, yet as he plans to use this world as an alternative retreat, due to its strategic importance, she absolutely will not allow anyone to obstruct his intentions. Upon realizing unexpected factors emerged, and after failing to negotiate...

— She promptly decided to proceed with physical elimination.

Gu Mo had just gone to see the Moon briefly, inspecting and pondering the feasibility and possibility of relocating the Sea of the Moon and nearly missed the crucial event upon his return.
