Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1011 - 108: Establishment of the Association_2
The next day, she went to Edith Academy, currently the number one ranked in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain. After presenting the relevant proof, Yilin easily met with the school's director.
In the office, an elderly man received her.
"You must be Miss Yilin, I know, welcome to Edith Academy." He appeared to be in his eighties.
"Hello, Mr. Heide." Yilin first gave a respectful bow, then opened the case beside her and took out a series of gift boxes.
"These are gifts Tilan entrusted me to bring back, meant for the teachers who once taught her at the school."
"I see, thank you." Director Heide accepted them with a smile and chatted with Yilin for a while before sending her off.
After the brunette girl left, Heide instructed someone to open the gifts immediately and asked for a thorough inspection.
"Is it really necessary?" The secretary was a bit puzzled.
"That Miss Yilin just now was indeed Lady Tilan's classmate and childhood playmate, right? She shouldn't have any ill intentions."
"I don't doubt her identity, but her claim to have brought us gifts from Tilan is quite strange." Heide shook his head.
"Though I rarely speak face-to-face with Miss Tilan, I have a rough understanding of her character. If she were to give us gifts, she would inform us in advance, not go for a surprise attack."
"This child either does not act, or if she does have the intention, she will arrange every process meticulously. Such spontaneous, abrupt behavior would strike her as unusual."
"Understood."
About an hour later, the secretary trotted over and whispered a few words into Director Heide's ear, to which the elderly man nodded, indicating his comprehension.
The same issue arose during the internal meeting of the 'Southern October Star'.
This was a commercial and economic cooperation alliance uniting seventeen star domains in the south, also a sponsor of Edith Academy and a staunch supporter of Tilan's major forces.
In the confidential meeting room, where only ten people were seated, Mrs. Lian Xin read the decoded information from the chip card.
"It looks like Tilan encountered quite a bit in the Central Star Domain. Due to a lack of intelligence, she needs our assistance."
"An invitation from the military...," a High Rank committee member flipped through the information on the screen in front of him.
"Also involving the Court of Judgment's forces," another committee member commented.
"It seems the military is quite dissatisfied with the Court of Judgment these days, directly dispatching intelligence officers to contact the songstress. This has indeed been a taboo behavior for the past four hundred years."
"Oh, is that so?" A committee member asked curiously, not understanding.
"Yes, due to the civil war of those years, following its conclusion, the Central Council set many unspoken rules to prevent such things from happening again. One of these includes prohibiting songstresses from privately contacting military personnel." freeweɓnøvel.com
"Yarnasha is an exception, as she was a soldier before becoming a songstress. This official connection cannot be severed, only isolated."
"Didn't you notice? The Court of Judgment is like a vast network, although it protects the songstresses, it also acts as a barrier, separating songstresses from many powerful organizations."
"Many songstresses have close ties with giant businesses, yet such businesses are usually commercial organizations, and they are cautious, unlike extreme groups, so they're less restricted."
"In addition, Miss Tilan also hopes we will inform her about the current state of traditional Pan-Eastern forces."
"Due to Miss Tilan's mother's background, she is one of the legitimate successors of Eastern forces, so her concern for these things is quite normal."
During the chaos of the Fifth Epoch, various Eastern factions scattered in refuge and many heritages broke into small branches. Yet, if one branch rises again in the future, the nearby offshoots will gather back together as one.
"This ancient cultural tacit understanding is also the reason why various Eastern factions can continue to survive today."
"Although the military is powerful, getting close to it is risky. Currently, they are also in a covert struggle with the Court of Judgment. We should encourage Miss Tilan to avoid conflicts between the two as much as possible."
"The Pan-Eastern forces, however, are relatively peaceful, with few extremists among them, so collaborating with them should pose few issues."
"Regarding the distribution of forces within the various star domains of the East, as well as cultural customs and traditions, I will have someone organize this information and send it to Miss Tilan."
"Additionally, we need to prepare a team of personnel to be stationed permanently in the Central Star Domain, to assist Miss Tilan, acting as her advisory group or intelligence center."
"The personnel deployment plan should be completed around the beginning of the year."
...
Two weeks later, Yilin returned to the Central Star Domain and saw Tilan once more, and the two sat together quietly in a room.
"Thank you, Yilin, for taking the trip for me." The True Red maid standing by their side helped pour the tea, then stood back.
"It's no trouble, it was on my way anyway." Yilin shook her head.
"This place is very secure, even Court of Judgment people can't eavesdrop here. Yilin, you can speak freely." Tilan saw her hesitate and spoke up.
"Really no problem?" Yilin was a bit surprised.
"Yes, although those people from the military are quite vexing to me, they did teach me some practical techniques." The young woman smiled and nodded, holding her teacup.
"In fact, everyone is not bad; this is their duty. I just want a bit of personal space."
Seeing the black-haired girl before her so confident, Yilin no longer questioned and began discussing legitimate matters.
"Home is quite well, many fans who like you have visited there and bought quite a few related products." Yilin recalled the scenes she had witnessed over these few days.
"Clara opened a small club focusing on online activities; Cindy joined a company in the South First District and is currently doing quite well; Nokai is not at home, currently still in military academy training; I also checked in on most others, and they seem to be doing fairly well."
Being the classmates of a songstress, even if ties have weakened now, there might come a day when they remember it, thus making it a connection every company is somewhat favorable towards.
After listening, Tilan thought it over while leaning against the back of her chair, slightly nodding and then shaking her head.
"Sigh..."
She hoped everyone was doing well, but fostering this one-person triumph trickling down to everyone else due to her connections did not align with her vision for society's future.
However, she wouldn't deliberately distance from such associations, just sighing at how relationships in reality are far heavier than idealism.
She just hoped they wouldn't commit wrongdoing in her name. If it turned out to be because they were Tilan's classmates, which made them untouchable by the police and more arrogant, she really hoped such things wouldn't happen.
After finishing discussing these matters, the two strolled for a while in the courtyard before Tilan saw Yilin off.
...
The end of the year passed smoothly, and with the arrival of the new year, the team Tilan established gradually took shape.
In the activity hall, familiar and unfamiliar members gathered. This building, located at the periphery of Golden Flame Flower Academy, was used for the songstress team's activities.
They held customized club uniforms, changed, and sat on the row chairs in the hall. As time passed, people gradually arrived, and the hall slowly quieted down.
Then, soothing music played, and Maydi, the temporary host, took to the stage.
"Hello everyone~ I'm Maydi, also a new member just like you." The green-haired girl in a forest-styled dress held a microphone to give the opening speech.
She first introduced a passage of past events, then spoke about the founding purpose and beliefs of the club.
"Everyone has their own views and wishes for the world, and as our beloved 'Black Angel' Hexia Tilan holds a pure and unsparing heart, with simple kindness, she sincerely wishes for this world to become a better place, and fulfilling this goal requires more people to help her."
"Whether out of belief, love, or emotion, we will always stand by her side, taking her hand, never forgetting our vow, and together facing that beautiful future."
