With the anime convention just around the corner, and the fact that the timeline of the Dragon Maid world is progressing unusually fast, it's clear that the sooner you get the treasure, the better, because the longer you wait, the more things might go wrong.

After receiving the map, Zhai Nan was afraid that he or Tina might lose it, so he wanted to get several copies just in case.

However, since the map was made of ancient sheepskin with wrinkled skin, photocopying was definitely not an option. Zhai Nan then tried to take a picture and print it out, but was shocked to find that the photos were all blank!

This is so magical!

Left with no other choice, Zhai Nan resorted to his old skills, downloading a fantasy map maker and creating a paper map on his computer with a 90% accuracy rate. He added Chinese labels, printed it out, and after Zhai Nan and Tina each kept a copy, they completely destroyed the original file on the computer.

Now that everything is ready, Tina can set off for 'another world' after they meet up and the items are handed over.

Here's a brief mention: Destructive power is a combination of speed, strength, agility, etc. Tina's destructive power attribute is as high as 788, making her quite balanced in all aspects. She is not particularly speed-oriented, but her full-speed running speed is comparable to that of an F1 race car.

If her speed was already so great, her petite and delicate body and fair, jade-like arms also contained unimaginable brute strength, making it easy for her to lift those heavy firearms.

Of course, in the human world, all of this is best kept hidden, and one must be as careful as the dragons. But the dragons do this to avoid disrupting order, while Tina simply prefers peace and quiet.

So, after leaving Elma's house, Tina hailed a taxi and drove off.

On the way, as they passed the apartment building where Kobayashi lived, Tina suddenly asked the driver to stop not far from the building.

Through the one-way black glass window, Tina saw a figure leaning against the corner of the road, smoking. He would occasionally look out, his gaze sweeping over the entrance of the apartment building, as if waiting for an opportunity.

The reason for stopping was because this person was Zuo Shi.

Also, because Zuo Shi was wearing a courier's uniform with the words "San San Express" in big letters on his chest, he looked incredibly silly.

It turns out that when Li Shizhen came to Zuo Shi's door, Zuo Shi also resisted with firearms, but later the uncle's power of healing with the impure earth and his sudden increase in brute strength deeply frightened Zuo Shi.

Left with no other choice, Zuo Shi chose to cooperate with the uncle's plan. The plan was to go in and kidnap Xiao Lin while both of Xiao Lin's dragons were out, with the uncle responsible for driving to pick them up.

And so, this scene unfolded.

Tina was unaware of their plan, but she knew that Zuo Shi was up to no good.

Could it be that they're planning to kidnap Kobayashi to force Tohru to leave?

Whether it's the cycle of reincarnation or a game, any major main quest is never this simple... If that's the case, then Zuo Shi is really courting death.

"We can go now, please hurry, I'm in a rush." ​​Tina withdrew her gaze and calmly said to the driver.

"Alright, the speed might be a bit fast, young lady, hold on tight!" With skillful gear shifting and effortless cornering, this dilapidated taxi indeed reached a speed that only an experienced driver could achieve.

(Fast...? They're nowhere near as fast as me. Sigh, I miss Lena's lightning bolt...)

With a few minutes to go before reaching her destination, Tina took out her phone again and dialed the local police number.

"Hello, officer, I need to report a crime. There's a robber here who's about to break into a house and commit murder... no, not just a robber, he's a pervert, and I'm sure you don't want a rape-murder case to happen... anyway, it's very dangerous, please bring the SWAT team... okay, please come as soon as possible, the location is..."

the other side.

A blonde girl dressed as a maid walked out of the apartment building with a cheerful air, humming an off-key tune as she walked with light steps, sometimes even twirling around as she went.

"Kobayashi-san finally has a day off, so I absolutely have to cook a big feast today! Omelette rice is an option, but I just don't feel like I can make a really good omelette rice with ingredients from the human world..."

A flash of inspiration crossed Thor's pale golden vertical pupils. He smirked and muttered to himself as he walked, "I'll buy some ingredients first. As for the main ingredient... hehe, looks like I need to go back to 'that world'."

Thor walked away happily, but as he passed the corner, he didn't notice a man whose gaze, when he glanced at him, was filled with a gloomy mix of obsession and greed.

The blonde beauty Tohru is naturally loved by everyone, including Kanna, who had gone to the park with Saikawa just ten minutes ago. These two dragons... are both excessively cute and beautiful.

Could it be due to the art style?! If so, Zuo Shi feels like he's missed out on discovering the world of anime and manga!

But when Zuo Shi thought about the dragon, he thought, "Hey... it doesn't seem like such a big deal, does it?" Of course, if a real dragon actually appeared in front of Zuo Shi, he probably wouldn't think that way.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity while Thor was out, Zuo Shi sneaked into the apartment building where Xiao Lin lived, while simultaneously sending a message to the uncle via his wristwatch: I'm on the move, get ready to provide backup.

Disguised as a deliveryman, Zuo Shi straightened his back and knocked on Xiao Lin's door with a hint of trepidation.

"Hello, you have a package. Please come out and sign for it."

A voice came from inside, "Could you please sign for this? Just leave the package at the door."

Zuo Shi was furious. He kicked the door hard, and his tone instantly turned fierce: "You motherfucker, get out here and sign it! If you don't sign it, come to our post station and get it yourself!"

Upon hearing that he had to go to the post station to get it, Kobayashi reluctantly got out of the kotatsu and weakly called out towards the door, "Coming."

After saying that, he muttered to himself: "I finally get a break and I'm just being lazy. Are all delivery drivers these days so short-tempered?"

I peeked through the peephole and it really was San San Express Company, but their faces looked rather fierce.

creak—

As soon as the door opened, Zuo Shi suddenly grinned maliciously, pointing a gun at Xiao Lin's chest, and said viciously, "I don't want to fight with a woman, just come with me obediently."

Kobayashi cooperated by feigning a startled "Ah!" before calming down, showing no sign of impending doom.

"Hey! Stop acting like I owe you millions, at least pretend you're scared!"

Xiao Lin said "Oh," then carefully leaned close to Zuo Shi's ear, his dead fish eyes darting left and right, and hesitantly asked in a low voice, "You...you guys are in cahoots?"

"Wh...what group?!" Sensing something was wrong, Zuo Shi followed Xiao Lin's shifty gaze and discovered that a row of soldiers with murderous expressions had appeared in the corridor, pointing submachine guns at him.

"...???"

……

Before long, the soldiers lifted Zuo Shi into a black military jeep and drove away.

Just after the Jeep started, a black sedan finally arrived from behind.

Li Shizhen focused her gaze on the black police jeep that had just driven away, then looked at the calm apartment entrance, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"

The older man also wanted someone to explain what had happened.

But no, that's infuriating!

So they had no choice but to turn around and leave.

My rambling yesterday... unexpectedly received a lot of responses, and it also let me see you all!

[Ta20 SSR-rank Alchemist]

Zhai Nan was idly playing a visual novel on his computer, but unlike before, when the beautiful girls on the screen smiled and offered themselves to the protagonist, he no longer felt that same physical and mental pleasure...

There are many beautiful and powerful anime girls, such as Artoria Pendragon (King Arthur), the tsundere Valkyrie, and the dream girl of countless otaku. Another example is Yaya the Machine-Doll, lively, clever, and cute, best known for her dirty jokes; the phrase "Day and Night" was once widely circulated among otaku and the general public to express their affection for her.

But... can anyone tell me that someone with a emotionless personality can be this cute?!

Ring ring! — The doorbell rang.

Zhai Nan hurriedly closed the galgame—yes, closed it, not minimized it—left the computer, and rushed to open the door.

The door was pulled open, and Tina stood quietly in the doorway. Zhai Nanxi said, "You've come, Tina."

"Yes, sorry to keep you waiting." Tina replied, and after stepping into the room, she turned around and looked at him, saying, "Give me the things, I'll leave now."

“Okay.” Zhai Nan walked to the safe next to the computer desk, entered the password, opened the safe, and took out three items:

[The Treasure Map of the Cursed Dragon (Quest)]

[The Key to Breaking the Illusory Barrier (Quest)] — [Used to break the illusory barrier of the treasure location]

And Zhai Nan's self-made [paper treasure map]

Tina's 'imaginary space' is practically a cheat code, because so far, she hasn't found any other reincarnators with such a treasure as a "portable space." For small mission items like this, Zhai Nan can only carry them with him or lock them in a safe... What if he exchanged reincarnation points for a helicopter? He'd probably have to build a special airstrip, right?

Tina took the items, and then, to Zhai Nan's stunned expression, the three items lay in her hand for less than a second before mysteriously disappearing into thin air.

If you slow down the camera by a hundred times... you'll see these three things rapidly transforming from physical entities into binary code. This stream of code, interwoven with light and shadow, gradually fades from reality to nothingness, eventually becoming pure colorless and disappearing... This triggers a spatial shift.

"This, this is..." Actually, Zhai Nan had wanted to ask this for a long time.

"My ability."

Tina only gave a vague reply: "The refrigerator too."

Seeing that Tina was unwilling to elaborate, Zhai Nan could only chuckle awkwardly to ease the embarrassment. Then he said in a serious tone, "Today is the regional semi-final of the martial arts tournament. The final is tonight. Fafnir will definitely come if nothing unexpected happens. But Tina, you only have one day... Also, Fafnir is very likely to sense when you break the treasure barrier. So, after you get the treasure, don't hesitate or linger. Come back quickly... because your safety comes first."

The treasures guarded by the dragon are not only gold and silver jewelry, but also powerful and rare treasures, and even divine artifacts. Or rather, the gold and silver jewelry are just green leaves for the dragon to set off those treasures.

So here's the question: should we take all the gold and silver treasures? Anyway, Tina has imaginary space.

“Oh, right…” Zhai Nan seemed to have thought of something and added, “If those gold and silver treasures can be exchanged for reincarnation points, we should bring them all back. Tina has that ability, doesn’t she? Besides, taking the treasures already makes us irreconcilably enemies with the dragons, so adding some gold and silver treasures along with it will make the same thing…”

"I understand," Tina replied, turning to leave.

His expression betrayed a deep sense of guilt for not being able to fight alongside her. He suddenly reached out his hand as if to stop her, but then slowly lowered it, hesitatingly saying, "Um... Tina, although you are really amazing, is it really okay for you to go to another world alone...?"

Tina's small figure stopped, and without turning around, she slightly turned her eyes and said in a calm voice, "Of course, I'm very strong."

After a moment of struggle, Zhai Nan hesitated, then sighed inwardly with remorse. His gaze, fixed on her retreating figure, softened and calmed: "Be careful, and come back soon..."

Turning her gaze back, Tina silently left, only the soft patter of her footsteps fading into the distance.

Actually, Tina had the thought of replying to Zhai Nan with "Take care too," but she still chose to leave.

Going to another world? It's not a big deal. I should be back soon. There's really no need to be so sentimental. Right?

[Demon's Spatial Crystal], plus the one already used in the Wasteland, can be used for two more teleportations, but the requirement is that the teleportation must be done at the 'Demon Stronghold' in both worlds.

She silently recited the instructions, but it didn't work immediately; instead, a coordinate appeared in her mind. Tina left the apartment, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the coordinate.

Thirty minutes later, the taxi drove out to the outskirts of the town. As far as the eye could see, it was a desolate desert, like an abandoned Gobi Desert. There were only a few scattered signs of human habitation in the sky, and directly in front of us, a huge, bottleneck-shaped building was spewing out huge plumes of thick smoke.

The air was filled with a strange and pungent smell; this was the garbage incineration plant in Oborozuka Town.

Perhaps it is a temporary stronghold established by demons in the human world, because there is no trace or presence of demons here.

Grasping the Demon Space Stone, a sinister black light surged from it, quickly spreading and engulfing Tina's entire body, as if she were being devoured. With the disappearance of the black light, Tina vanished from the human world.

There was no discomfort whatsoever.

Yet, an inexplicable form of energy was rapidly merging and distorting around us, turning our once bright vision pitch black. We simply closed our eyes, and after about five seconds, we caught a musty, musty odor at the tip of our noses—
