"Wait, Yangyang, you chose the third answer, C. Carlotta."
Just as Yangyang was about to answer, Rover quickly called out to stop her.
Because at this moment, he had finally remembered those fan-made parody videos he used to love scrolling through in his past life.
The reason he hadn't made the connection at first was mainly that he had followed the same line of thought as Changli and the others... thinking in a normal direction, which caused him to overlook those specific memes.
Now that he fully remembered, he couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated.
He thought to himself, "iCarlotta TV," Quite interesting...
This so-called "Exposure Chat Group" thing was truly too improper. How could they treat Carlotta like that?
"Huh? Rover, you mean the third answer, Carlotta? But wasn't that the very first option to be ruled out?"
Before Yangyang could respond, Chixia, who was standing beside her, spoke up to ask first.
Before Rover could explain anything, Yangyang simply turned to him with a gentle, blooming smile.
"I trust you, Rover."
Without any hesitation after saying those words, Yangyang submitted her answer in the chat group.
Seeing Yangyang's breathtakingly beautiful face, her tender smile, and her unconditional trust in him...
At this moment, Rover secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what, he would never let this girl down in this lifetime.

〜Exposure Chat Group〜
[ Yangyang: "My answer is C. Carlotta." ]
[ Changli: "Oh~ Will the answer be the third one? ⦍CuriousJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Jinhsi: ".... (Sigh! When will I get a reward that can delete emojis?!)" ]
[ Francesco: "Carlotta? How is that possible?" ]
[ Carlotta: "Huh? Although I really wish the answer was me, how could that even be possible... ⦍Confused Jinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Chat Group Members: "????? Did you say it wrong? It should be the first option. ⦍DoubtfulJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Scar: "Haha! Looks like someone is about to get punished. We've seen the rewards... now we get to see the severity of the punishment." ]
[ Cristoforo: "Hehehe… Montelli, huh? The answer could never be Montelli. If it really is Montelli, I'll eat... on the spot..." ]
[ Ding! Congratulations, Yangyang, for answering correctly. ]
[ Obtained one ⦍✦✦⦎ Bronze Treasure Chest! ]
[ Scar: "?????? No way, she actually got it right? ⦍ShockedJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Changli: "Oh~ It seems the world has underestimated the Montelli family of Ragunna. ⦍SquintingJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Cantarella: "Has Montelli grown to this extent now? ⦍FrowningJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Chat Group Members: "This… this… this is actually the third answer, Carlotta? ⦍ShockedJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Carlotta: "Ah… it really is me? How come I didn't know I was ever this amazing? ⦍JinhsinotJinshi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Francesco: "….. (Damn it, this is going to be a huge problem!)" ]
[ Cristoforo: "Impossible… impossible… just a Montelli, how could it be…." ]
[ Little Drifter: "My, my! Just now, someone seemed to say that if the answer was Montelli, he'd eat shit." ]
[ Chat Group Members: "Ah? Really? Whose general is this, to be so incredibly brave? ⦍SurprisedJinhsi.jpeg⦎" ]
[ Cristoforo: ".....I didn't even say what I was going to eat yet, when did it become eating shit? (Little Drifter, is it? I've definitely remembered you.)" ]
[ Scar: "Hahaha~ That kid really isn't afraid of death… too bad we don't know his true identity." ]

"Hahaha… Rover, you're so naughty. He clearly didn't say that just now, but how did you know the answer?"
Chixia was laughing so hard she was swaying, teasing him while simultaneously feeling extremely curious about how Rover knew the answer.
Yangyang also looked at Rover with eyes full of absolute admiration.
"Just keep watching, the chat group should explain later. I can't really explain it to you guys in a few words right now. Let's look at the next questions first."
Rover gently shook his head, thinking to himself that even if he explained "iCarlotta TV" to them, they wouldn't understand the meme at all.

Meanwhile, in Ragunna, the very thing Francesco was worried about was quietly unfolding.
Cantarella, who had just left her home intending to go to Jinzhou, had already returned to her family and issued several directives regarding Montelli.
And Fenrico, in the Church, had an ashen face that looked like it was about to drip water.
"Good… good… very good… a fine Montelli. That Capollo's acting actually made a fool out of me. Someone, come! Within three days, I want to know every single move the Montelli has made over the past ten years."
Following Fenrico's roar, the Order of the Deep member below quickly took orders… dispatching a large team to begin a full investigation into all of Montelli's information.
Clearly, if Montelli were merely compared to Fisalia, he would be surprised… but not to the extent of being so concerned, or even angry.
The main reason was that, based on this answer, the Montelli family had clearly developed over these years to a point that surpassed the entire Seven Hills and even the Female Phoenix of Huanglong.
Finally, recalling Capollo's rebellion, he believed it was undoubtedly used to lull him into a false sense of security.
How could he not be shocked… and enraged by such an unexpected turn of events?
But it must be said, human overthinking can sometimes be truly fatal.
At the very least, if Little Drifter knew what they were thinking right now, he'd probably laugh his stomach out.

"Wow! What a cute little guy, though it really doesn't look very strong!"
Seeing the little bird appear before her and immediately act very close to her, Yangyang took an instant liking to it.
Even though she said it didn't look very strong, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden at all.
