[ Finding that he couldn't break free from the other party's vines for a moment, the Rover only thought that she was about to show her fangs.
Looking at Camellya with a somewhat grave expression, the Rover spoke…
Rover: "Is this how you treat the talent you're trying to recruit?"
Camellya: "Hehehe~ there's nothing I particularly want to know, you know."
Camellya: "It's just that you're looking at me with those eyes… No, it's nothing."
As she said this, Camellya's gaze bypassed the Rover, looking into the distance… as if recalling something.
But she quickly snapped back to reality, focusing her attention on the man pressing down on her.
Camellya: "I will keep watching you. You are a unique seed, of that I am certain."
Camellya: "Mmh~ hmm. There's a familiar scent on you…"
After saying this, a crimson blood-colored flower suddenly lunged at the Rover.
The Rover reacted with extreme speed, dodging and slicing the blood-colored flower in half with his blade… but Camellya vanished right then and there. ]

" In Between "
"That Camellya looks so dangerous. If you ever interact with her in the future, Rover… you must be careful."
Seeing that Camellya's strength was absolutely extraordinary and that she couldn't possibly be considered normal by any sane person's standards, Yangyang immediately worried for the Rover's safety.
"Don't worry. No matter if she has lost her memory, and no matter how mad she has become…"
The Rover paused as he spoke, leaving the rest of his words unsaid.
His meaning was simple: no matter what Camellya became… she would never do anything to harm him.
In the eyes of the girls beside him, they naturally thought the Rover was just confident in his own strength. After all, his current self was indeed terrifyingly strong.

[ Meanwhile, in the video, the Rover was searching all around, trying to find her figure… when a charming, coquettish voice echoed from the sky.
"I am—Camellya."
"Next time, don't get caught by me so quickly."
Rover: "And she's gone... Huh, that was fast."
Just then, Yangyang's terminal connected, and she immediately expressed her concern for the Rover.
After a brief exchange, the Rover went to meet up with Yangyang, and they returned to Jinzhou together.
Based on Chixia's information, the group successfully met up with Aalto.
Under questioning, after Chixia asked about their leader… Aalto, for once, showed a serious expression on his face.
Aalto: "My s-supervisor? Well, our leader has a massive background."
Aalto: "She's an ancient being, born with this planet we're living on. She's the will of the star, the reverberation of everything in this world..."
Rover: "Although you make it sound real, my intuition tells me there's not a single bit of truth in it." ]

〜Exposure Chat Group〜
Black Shores Member: "If you think about it, wouldn't Mr. Aalto's leader be the Shorekeeper? Although it might be a bit exaggerated… practically speaking, there's nothing wrong with putting it that way. ⦍NodsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Rinasita Citizens: "Oh. Is that Shorekeeper really that amazing? ⦍ShockedJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
The Shorekeeper: "I am not as exaggerated as Aalto says. Actually, I am just a somewhat petite, delicate, weak woman who also wishes to have someone protect her. ⦍PlayfulJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Black Shores Member: "So that's how it is? Lady Shorekeeper's combat ability isn't high either… Please rest assured, milady, we will definitely protect your safety even at the cost of our lives. ⦍ConfidentJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Chat Group Public: "Sigh. A delicate woman managing such a large organization, we can already imagine how hard it has been for her. ⦍SighingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Changli: "…(No, wait? Is someone actually believing this. If anyone believes this… I will definitely laugh at them for the rest of my life.) ⦍ComplainingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Crownless: "(Is that true… If it is, doesn't that mean we can use the Black Shores as our first stepping stone.) ⦍PonderingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Five Overlord Tacet Discords of the Black Shores: "…(The Shorekeeper is weak? Why do you think we only dare to occupy a tiny piece of land… and don't even dare to take a step out of it?)"
Rover: "(???? Something is wrong, at least eleven out of ten things are wrong. Since when did the Shorekeeper talk like this?) ⦍SurprisedJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Camellya: "…(Sister, if you are considered delicate… then I'm afraid there are no non-delicate people left in this world, regardless of gender.) ⦍ComplainingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Fractsidus Trio: "(So the Shorekeeper is very weak… How about we let the Overseer try her out?) ⦍ThoughtfulJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
.....
As for why the three of them didn't think of trying it themselves, they obviously didn't think they were that foolish.
As for the Overseer… he was always feeding them grand illusions, boasting about how powerful he was and how he could change the world.
In that case, surely dealing with a mere Shorekeeper… should be an easy task.
As for what would happen if he couldn't handle her or got countered instead? What did that have to do with them?

[ The result in the video was very obvious. Not only did the Rover not believe Aalto's words… Yangyang and Chixia obviously couldn't believe them either.
Chixia: "So do you guys actually have a proper organizational leader or not?"
Aalto: "No, I've literally spilled our boss's entire background; why don't you guys believe me?"
However, the words Aalto spoke at this moment were indeed without a single drop of falsehood… Unfortunately, the truth is indeed something no one believes.
Chixia: "Uh-huh. I believe you~ I believe you. I fully understand the situation."
Chixia: "Then please come with me."
Though her mouth said she believed him, her actions had absolutely nothing to do with believing.
To this, Aalto could only sigh helplessly… and followed the footsteps of Chixia and the other two.
Aalto: "Sigh. Officer. I really didn't do anything bad. I'm looking for someone."
Aalto: "Just a little girl who looks about this tall… the kind who stands out the most in a crowd."
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands… Judging by the height he was gesturing, the target was undoubtedly a little girl.
And precisely because of this, coupled with Aalto's somewhat suspicious appearance… it truly made people wonder if he was some kind of weird uncle. ]
