Chapter 802 Unexpected Situation
South District 7759175 Outer Gate, Underwood.

Preparations for the reopening of the Harvest Festival are in full swing. People coming and going on the streets seem to have emerged from the shadow of the previous battles, and everyone is working hard with happy smiles on their faces.

In contrast, although the battle with the three-headed dragon did not result in any casualties, the City of Blazing Flames suffered severe damage, and the residents who returned after the battle are probably not so happy.

"—Lord Izayoi, I've brought you lunch!"

"Ah, thanks."

Izayoi withdrew her gaze, propped herself up on her hands, and sat up from the hospital bed. This simple action made Black Rabbit panic.

"Please don't move around, your injuries haven't healed yet!"

"Don't make such a fuss, it's like I'm seriously injured."

Izayoi Sakamaki casually accepted the lunchbox and began to eat.

During the battle with the three-headed dragon, his most serious injury was not the wounds left by the dragon, but the tearing of his muscles caused by using power beyond his limits with the help of Gargi's abilities. Other than that, it was nothing serious.

However, Black Rabbit sat on the edge of the bed and complained:

"Isn't it because the way you were carried back on a stretcher terrified everyone? Besides, you're always the one who gets the worst injuries in every battle, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Izayoi Sakamaki's face darkened, but she remained speechless.

It is indeed a bit strange. Whether it was the battle with the three-headed dragon, the battle in the southern district, or even the battle at the Fire Dragon Birth Festival earlier, he was always the one who was most seriously injured in every major battle.

Most importantly, as the main force in these three battles, Fujimaru Ritsuka seems to have never been injured. Even in this battle against [Absolute Evil], she only suffered minor injuries.

At this point, he recalled the enemy's various actions during the battle and sighed helplessly:

"The difference is truly enormous."

"Ok?"

Not understanding what he was talking about, Black Rabbit tilted his head in confusion.

"nothing."

Izayoi Sakamaki gave a vague, perfunctory answer, then changed the subject with a chuckle:
"By the way, you should have received that thing by now, right?"

"That thing...?"

Black Rabbit paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening. A bright smile instantly spread across her face, and she nodded emphatically.

"Ok!"
-
Adjust the time slightly forward...

"This, this is...!?"

“That’s right, this is the flag of your community.”

Ren carefully held a tattered flag, his face showing disbelief. Black Rabbit, Leticia, and the others beside him were also almost in tears with emotion. Seeing this, White Yaksha chuckled and said:

"If it weren't for this battle, I would have almost forgotten that this ever happened. Anyway, let's return it to its rightful owner now."

On the pedestal where Absolute Evil is sealed, there is a tattered flag. It was the flag that No Name planted when she sealed the three-headed dragon. She never expected to find it there.

"indeed,"

Hearing her say that, Leticia was also lost in thought, a look of realization dawning on her face, followed by a hint of guilt as she said:
"I should have thought of that sooner..."

"It wouldn't have mattered if I'd thought of it sooner."

White Yaksha shook his head and laughed:
"That was one of the marks used to seal [Absolute Evil]. If it weren't for the need to break the seal, it probably wouldn't have seen the light of day for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Black Rabbit and Leticia nodded; it was indeed true.

No matter how much they want to reclaim the banner of the community, they cannot allow the entire miniature garden to fall into crisis for this purpose.

However, precisely because of this, it is quite obvious who they should be most grateful to.

"Lady Ritsuka, thank you so much!"

Black Rabbit gripped Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand tightly, her voice trembling with a hint of tears. The name and flag of the community are the honor of every member, something they must protect with their dignity and lives—a lesson everyone who grows up in the Little Garden learns from childhood.

Therefore, reclaiming their stolen name and flag is one of the most important goals they are willing to dedicate their lives to achieving.

And now that half of this goal has suddenly been achieved, the emotions that have erupted are hard to describe in words, and they don’t know how to express their heartfelt gratitude.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled somewhat embarrassedly:

"I didn't know the flag was there either, so... well, it's great that we found it!"

"Ok!"

Black Rabbit nodded emphatically, then said excitedly:
"Then, to celebrate the return of the Community flag and the victory of all of you, let's hold a banquet tonight!"

The suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone. White Yaksha watched this scene with a smile, and after his excitement subsided somewhat, he continued with a smile:

"But before that, please lend me Ritsuka again."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile became strained, and she seemed somewhat guilty. Seeing this, Jin asked in confusion:
"Are there any other issues that need to be addressed?"

"It wasn't originally there, but some unexpected situations arose."

Mentioning this matter also gave White Demon a headache. She couldn't help but sigh, then glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka again and said:
"Perhaps you need to be mentally prepared."

"?"

The White Demon's implication seemed rather unusual, so everyone turned their inquisitive gazes to Fujimaru Ritsuka. Seeing this, she chuckled awkwardly:

"There shouldn't be any major problems... probably?"

However, after thinking for a moment, she turned to Mash and Kukulkan beside her and asked them for help:

"Mashu, Kukulkan, you two come with me!"

"Ok!"

"Should I go too?"

Mashu, who knew the inside story, immediately nodded. Kukulkan seemed somewhat surprised, but still readily nodded and smiled, saying:
"Okay!"

However, the people standing by felt even more uneasy upon seeing this.

Is it really true that this matter requires both Mash and Kukulkan to be mobilized at the same time? Is it really okay, as Ritsuka said?

……

...

After leaving the inn, the four did not move towards any particular location, but instead disappeared from the spot and entered the White Demon's game base—a world representing her essence, above ice fields and lakes, where a white sun slowly orbits along a horizontal path.

Besides the four of them, there was another figure already present. Sensing their arrival, this person calmly opened their eyes and said:

"You are back."

"This guy……"

Upon seeing their opponent, Mashu warily raised her shield, and Kukulkan immediately tensed up as well, sensing the opponent's power.

"Then, let me explain the situation again."

Looking at the familiar figure before her, White Yaksha felt a headache coming on. She frowned and said:
"The Demon Lord of Absolute Evil—Azdahaka, why are you still alive?"

"—I am no longer absolutely evil."

The three-headed dragon sat cross-legged on the ground, its demeanor unusually calm, yet its every move still exuded a deep sense of oppression.

Faced with the White Demon's question, it looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and grinned:
As for why I'm still alive...

"Perhaps it's according to the rules of the miniature garden, where the defeated demon lord becomes the victor's familiar?"
