"No, there's no need to thank me like that. I did all this for Fumino."
"Is it the one with the blue hair?"
"Yes, she's also my fiancée."
【"Congratulations."】
"We originally planned to get married after this research was completed, but this unexpected thing happened. The research results are like Fumino's children; now his children have been taken away."
"Our wedding will probably have to be postponed quite a while now."
"Do you want me to help you retrieve your documents?"
"No, that's not it."
"I just want to tell you that life is full of unexpected events. If you fuss over every little thing, you'll only keep making yourself miserable."
"I know what you meant by 'for Fumino' before?"
"Fumino now thinks you're the only one... she's kept in her research, so whether you make up a story or say something else, even if you just tell Fumino your delusions, it's fine."
"I understand."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
"I'll buy you another drink, two 'Bombardier' drinks, please."
"Un...fiancée."
When Fumino Furuhashi saw Nariyuki Yuiga on the screen say that she was his fiancée, her face quickly turned red. She was too shy to look Nariyuki Yuiga in the eye. Nariyuki Yuiga was also stunned and didn't dare to look at Fumino Furuhashi next to him.
Rizu Ogata: ......
Rizu Ogata didn't know what to say, but she just felt uncomfortable.

"Why drink alcoholic beverages? You should drink oolong tea instead."
As he spoke, Kohei Imamura downed a large cup of oolong tea in one gulp. In the past, Kohei Imamura wouldn't have dared to drink so heavily, but especially during the pandemic, now Kohei Imamura has been amplified to the point that he can practically drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
"A conversation between men."
Kitahara Iori looked at the wine glass in his hand with a very deep and mature expression, but he broke down in less than three seconds.
"What are you pretending to be, all high and mighty?"
Kohei Imamura looked at Iori Kitahara with disdain and said, but in Kohei Imamura's opinion, Iori Kitahara was just putting on an act. However, in the eyes of Chisa Kotegawa, who was not far away, Iori Kitahara, holding a wine glass and with that profound look and tone, did have a mature and weathered handsomeness.
A beam of light descended from the sky, illuminating the dim, frosty world of Jotunheim.
Loki, alone, arrived in Jotunheim, his ancestral homeland. He then swaggered past the Frost Giants and entered the palace, standing before Laufey, the Frost Giant.
"Kill him."
[Upon seeing the newcomer, Laufey, the Frost Giant King, also spoke.]
"Kill me? Don't you care about all I've done for you?"
"So it was you who guided us into Asgard."
Laufey, upon hearing Loki's words, also thought of entering Asgard, since this was the only assistance the Frost Giants had received recently.
432: Natsume: You ungrateful wretch!
"No wonder those three frost giants were able to enter Asgard and even infiltrate its treasure vault. It turns out Loki was the big traitor inside."
"Loki did this to interrupt Odin's coronation ceremony for Thor."
"But I must say Loki did a great job. He not only successfully interrupted Odin's coronation ceremony for Thor, but also put himself on the throne of Asgard, well, temporarily."
Lupin III looked at Loki, who was alone in Jotunheim talking to Laufey, the Frost Giant, in the light screen and said.
"I wonder if Loki foresaw the series of events that followed?"
Lupin III was curious whether Loki had encountered the three major events that followed: Thor being stripped of his divine power and banished, Loki being a frost giant rather than Odin's son, and Odin falling into Odin's Slumber.
"To be honest, it was just for fun, to ruin my brother's big day."
"Protect our kingdom so that it may suffer his foolish rule a little longer."
"I feel that the real tragedy for Asgard is falling into Loki's hands, not Thor's."
Hiratsuka Shizuka smoked a cigarette while looking at Loki on the screen, especially noting that Loki gave a very wicked smile after saying he would ruin my brother's big day.
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that if Loki were to truly solidify his position as the King of Asgard instead of his current temporary one, he would likely launch a massive war that would engulf the entire Nine Realms.
"I'm all ears."
Laufey, the Frost Giant King, looked at Loki and said...
"I will cover you and your men and lead you into Odin's room, where you can kill him while he is bedridden."
"Is this what they call an ungrateful wretch? Odin raised him for at least hundreds or thousands of years, no matter what."
"As a result, after Loki learned that he was a Frost Giant, he immediately came to find the Frost Giant and wanted to join forces to kill Odin."
Natsume Takashi looked at Loki in the light screen with disgust and said that as someone who had been rejected by his relatives and had been living among them, he was very grateful to the Fujiwara couple who had taken him in.
Seeing Loki's behavior on the screen, Takashi Natsume also felt that Loki was evil to the core.
"Why don't you kill Odin yourself?"
Laufey, the Frost Giant, didn't immediately agree to Loki's offer to kill Odin. Instead, he looked at Loki with suspicion and asked, "Is there something fishy going on?"
【"snort."】
"I doubt the Asgardians would accept a king who murdered their former king."
Loki gave a cold laugh and said.
"I will return the Casket of Ice to you when Odin dies."
"You can restore Jotunheim to its former glory."
Hearing this, Laufey couldn't sit still any longer and rose from his throne, a reaction that pleased Loki greatly.
"I accept."
"What's wrong, security guard?"
After communicating with the Frost Giants, Loki returned to Asgard via the Rainbow Bridge. Upon his return, Loki saw Heimdall and, without any panic, greeted him naturally.
Loki knew Heimdall's abilities, and Loki's calm demeanor stemmed from his countermeasures. Otherwise, how could Loki have managed to infiltrate Asgard during Thor's coronation ceremony without Heimdall noticing?
Therefore, Loki wasn't worried at all about Heimdall discovering what he had done in Jotunheim.
"When you were in Jotunheim, I tried to see you, but I could neither see nor hear you."
"You are shrouded in mystery, like an ice giant invading this place."
Heimdall looked at Loki with a suspicious expression and said...
"Perhaps you've been in this position for too long, and your senses have dulled."
Loki said it quite casually.
"It's also possible that someone has found a way to hide things they don't want me to see."
Heimdall's words implied that he doubted him.
"You possess immense power, Heimdall. Has Odin ever feared you?"
Loki asked as he circled Heimdall.
【"No."】
【"Why?"】
"Because he is my king, I swear to obey him to the death."
"He was once your king, now I am your king, and you submit to me."
"Right?"
【"Yes."】
"Then no one is allowed to open the Rainbow Bridge until I've cleaned up the mess my brother left behind."
Loki's tone changed abruptly as he finished speaking, then he turned and left.
"No wonder, it turns out Loki was behind it all."
"It was Loki's guidance and protection that allowed the three Frost Giants to successfully infiltrate."
"It's a pity about Heimdall; he was so close to the truth."
Fujiwara Chika said with a regretful expression.
"Hey, senior, do you feel sorry? I thought you, as a politician, would be very familiar with this kind of thing."
Shirogane Miyuki watched as Ishigami Yu initiated the crucial team fight. However, Shirogane Miyuki was also curious because Ishigami Yu always initiated Fujiwara Chika or Iino Miko, and he didn't seem to have seen Ishigami Yu initiate Shinomiya Kaguya.
"This is impossible no matter how you look at it; this is a crime."
Yu Ishigami shrugged and sneered as he looked at the innocent-sounding speech of Miko Iino.
