A Core Ship From The Start

Then there’s naturally nothing much to say. After Duanmu Huai took a nap and woke up, Liliath’s followers had already won the first victory in the ranking match.

It would be great if he could just keep winning like this.

But as for whom to summon next... Duanmu Huai really couldn’t make up his mind, so he turned to Mary for discussion.

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, Mary showed a somewhat troubled expression.

"Though it feels kind of wrong to say so, shouldn’t we summon Miss Ann and little sister Ogis?"

"I plan to leave them for last. They have special strengthening methods and are not urgent for the moment."
