“Ah Heng. What’s wrong? Just call Liz in the future. Didn’t you tell to address you that way in the heart maze? Or would you prefer I call you Hus—”
“No, no, no! Ah Heng is good, it’s very good. It’s great—so great that it’s as good as ho.” Chen Heng broke out in a cold sweat. This…Nightingale didn’t lose her mories of what happened in the heart maze, which ans… I surrender! I surrender! If Nightingale really says “Husband…”
“Shining, your sword is not fixed yet, right?” As a precaution, Chen Heng verified the condition of Shining’s sword.
“Not yet; why? Also, what happened in the heart maze?” Nightingale would only let others address her as Liz if they had a certain level of friendship. Although He Who Knows Fate did help Nightingale a lot… Sothing must have happened in this heart maze.
Nightingale started explaining after so thought. “Oh! Here’s the rough situation—”
“The rough situation is Liz and I worked together and successfully escaped a maze.” Chen Heng did not intend to give Nightingale a chance to speak. If Nightingale let sothing slip, he could forget about doing anything.
“The heart maze is really a maze? I thought it was just a term for it. I initially thought it would be sothing like a heart demon.”
“I don’t know about the heart mazes of others, but Liz’s heart maze was indeed a maze. It took us three hours to get out.”
“Ah Heng? Didn’t you say you had sothing? You’d better go quickly.”
“Ah Heng?”
“Oh! My codena is He Who Knows Fate, but my real na is Chen Heng. You can address as Little Heng or Ah Heng. I do have sothing right now, so I’ll leave first.” Chen Heng imdiately left after a quick explanation, not daring to remain lest Nightingale say sothing.
“Humph! Serves you right for lying to . Consider this the prelude to your punishnt.” As Nightingale watched Chen Heng flee, her initially low spirits, due to her recovered mories, improved.
It was as Shining said; there was nothing good about Nightingale’s lost mories.
“Lie? Punish? Liz, what exactly happened in the heart maze? Furthermore, it looks like you are not in as bad a mood as I expected.”
“So, here’s what happened….” Nightingale told Shining most of what happened in the heart maze. Of course, she ntioned nothing about the lovers’ relationship or the husband-and-wife thing.
Not just Chen Heng felt embarrassed about it. Nightingale also felt slightly embarrassed.

He Who Knows Fate: So, can you all give so suggestions?
That’s right. Chen Heng decided to get help from his all-capable Internet friends, to see if they could give him any ideas—especially when he had to bring Nightingale to Lungn and would be alone with her. That flustered him sowhat.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: What’s wrong? What happened?
Magus of Flowers: Share what made you unhappy. Let us be happy.
He Who Knows Fate: rlin, you…never mind. I won’t mute you this ti. Here’s the situation: I treated Liz and restored her mories…
Efreet: You even call her Liz already. You are progressing pretty fast.
He Who Knows Fate: Don’t interrupt. Listen to .
Umaru-chan: Please begin your performance.
He Who Knows Fate: It’s like this…
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: …This is not just calling her Liz; you even called her Wife. You…this…
Queen of Ice and Snow: A sin of your own doing. You deserve to die.
He Who Knows Fate: Since Nightingale did not have her future mories, I had to be a little creative. In the end, I accidentally went too far.
Efreet: Ptooey! Scum.
He Who Knows Fate: How am I scum? I just went too far with my words. Is that illegal?
Iron Fist Teacher: No, no, no! Going too far with your words is not illegal, as long as you can shoulder the consequences.
He Who Knows Fate: …Aren’t I here to seek advice from you all because I can’t shoulder the consequences?
Magus of Flowers: Just don’t et her for now and let her calm down. Won’t everything be fine after that?
Solomon: It is rare that rlin makes a viable suggestion.
He Who Knows Fate: However, before Nightingale recovered her mories, I had promised Shining to bring Nightingale to Lungn. Furthermore, Nightingale confird it with after her mories returned… At that ti, Nightingale looked like she did not rember the heart maze.
Umaru-chan: Excellent. You successfully blocked all paths of escape. You truly live up to your na, a person who knows your fate.
He Who Knows Fate: …
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I have another thod. Fight fire with fire.
He Who Knows Fate: What do you an?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: You have to go to Lungn with Nightingale, right? That matter is already decided, so the chances of changing that are slim. In that case, add another person to ease the awkwardness between you two. Since all the Rhodes Island operators you know are female, we can only consider this fighting fire with fire.
He Who Knows Fate: Who says so? There’s a male. Is my Big Brother Ace just there for decoration?
Kal’tsit: Your Big Brother Ace is currently confined to bed. He endured several of Talulah’s attacks. Don’t tell you thought Ace would not suffer any injury. Can you truly bear to drag Ace, who risked his life to protect you, out of bed to accompany you to Lungn? Furthermore, you just want him there as a lamp post…
He Who Knows Fate: …Then Texas and Exusiai would work, right?
Umaru-chan: I don’t think so. They have to work. How could they have ti to accompany you two all the ti?
He Who Knows Fate: Very well, I have decided. It shall be Skadi.
Queen of Ice and Snow: …
He Who Knows Fate: Don’t misunderstand. I an Arknights’s Skadi.
Queen of Ice and Snow: You don’t have to explain. I know. However, knowing is one thing. Hearing it still feels strange.
Kal’tsit: Skadi…
He Who Knows Fate: Skadi should be fine, right? She just returned from a mission, right?
Kal’tsit: Going by logic, Skadi could accompany you to Lungn. However, she usually picks up another mission imdiately after completing one; she rarely remains in Rhodes Island.
He Who Knows Fate: It’s fine. We are friends. I’ll try to persuade her.
Kal’tsit: I wonder what Skadi would think if she knew her only friend plans on using her as a shield.
He Who Knows Fate: You make it sound terrible. What do you an, shield? I noticed Skadi does not have friends, so I want to help her make more friends.
Efreet: Haha! As you said before, we are from the sa chat group, so why the pretense? Who does not know?
He Who Knows Fate: …
