Problem Girls Strategy

"No...it's not..."

"No problem. I'll agree to your willful request. You are my capable subordinate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Kailu breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and stood up to leave. She didn't dare to look up at the other person from beginning to end.

After she left, a sentence slowly rang out in the air: "After searching the memory, it's no different from being dead anyway."

Chapter 300: The Promised Knife

Kailu was sitting in the living room reading a magic book as usual. She had completed the task of managing the Chamber of Commerce affairs assigned to her by Jiang Zao neatly yesterday. She had just realized how talented she was in this area.

This little surprise was soon swallowed up by a wave of uneasiness. Her eyes were fixed on the book, but her heart had long since drifted away from her body and was fixed on Cocoro beside her.

It's okay... His Majesty has promised me that he won't endanger her life, just take her there.

What excuse would I have to ask her out?

shopping?

Kailu shook her head slightly, rejecting this reason.

I just went out with them to buy food two days ago, so this reason is definitely not acceptable.

She turned the magic book in her hand to the end of the page, but she didn't notice it at all and continued to turn the pages mechanically.

"Kailu, what are you thinking about? You're still flipping through the book even after it's already been read."

"Ah?!" She looked up and blinked in confusion, then looked down at the magic book and finally realized, "I...I was thinking about magic."

"Here you go. This is some dried fish that the master made." Kokoro put a paper bag that smelled of meat on the magic book. "I hope the cats will like it."

"Oh, thank you." Kailu put away the dried fish blankly and continued to hold the magic book in a daze.

She actually thought of a method that would not arouse suspicion and that Kokoro would not refuse, but she was still hesitant, not knowing whether it was right for her to do so.

After hesitating for a long time, she decided to take Kokoro to see His Majesty on the pretext of feeding the cats together. If she didn't do as His Majesty wanted, it might bring her even bigger trouble.

Maybe His Majesty just wants to know the real purpose of the commission. After finding out the truth, he will let Kokoro go back. Besides, His Majesty promised me that he would not let her life be in danger.

Putting the magic book aside, Kailu stood up and invited her: "Kokoro, do you want to feed the cats with me?"

"Me?" Kokoro was learning about the food from another world with Jiang Zao at this time. When she heard her invitation, she opened her mouth in surprise, wondering if she had heard it wrong. After all, Kaede had never invited anyone to feed the cat.

"Ah...well, those kids have been a little naughty lately, and I can't handle it all by myself. Aren't you an elf from the Friends of Animals? You shouldn't scare them away, right?"

It was rare for her to take the initiative to invite him. Kokoro turned around and asked Jiang Zao in surprise: "Master, can I go with her to feed the cats first?"

"Of course no problem, you can continue studying after you come back from feeding the cat."

"Kailu, wait for me a moment!"

"Ok."

Kokoro washed her hands and took off her kitchen apron. She ran into the bedroom to change clothes in her slippers with a "click-click" sound. Because she was at home, she wore the loose short-sleeved shirt provided by Jiang Zao, which was simple and refreshing. She would have to change clothes if she was going out to feed the cats.

It didn't take long for her to come out of the bedroom: "Let's go."

"Ah."

"Should I bring them some extra gifts?"

"No need, dried fish made from jujube will do."

The two of them went out together. Jiang Zao had nothing to do for the time being, so he walked to the big iron kettle with a label "Huihui's Special" on it, took a cup of Coke, added ice to it, and drank it happily.

Not long after, Pekolim, who had taken the Chuunibyou magician out for a daily explosion, came back carrying her on her back.

"Jiang Zao! Quick, get me a Coke!"

Before anyone entered the house, Huihui's voice came in. She was now living a fairy-like life, casting [Explosion Magic] every day and drinking happy water, and her sense of happiness was maximized.

Pekolim carried her into the house and saw the ingredients on the stove. She looked around in confusion, "Hey, where are Kokoro and Kailu?"

"They're out feeding the cats."

"Kael actually invited others to feed the cats together, that's great, I want to feed the kittens too."

"Just ask her when she comes back. She might agree directly."

"That makes sense!"

On the other side, Kael walked in front with a nervous mood and did not say anything to Kokoro.

Kokoro thought she was in a hurry to feed the cats, so she kept silent and hurried on. After arriving at Wangcheng Park, she couldn't help but ask, "Kailu, do you usually feed cats in the park?"

"Not in a busy place like this. Too many people would scare them, so I usually feed them in a very secluded corner."

"That's it."

"Ah."

"..."

The journey would have only taken a dozen minutes, but Kael insisted on taking Kokoro around in the park for half an hour. The uneasy feeling she felt for some reason prevented her from reaching the cat feeding spot.

"Kailu, this is the third time we've passed this flower bed. Are you looking for something?"

"Ah? Oh... yes, I'm looking for... the naughty kid who used to hang out in this area. He should be waiting for me there today." Kailu turned her back to Kokoro and took a deep breath: "Let's keep going. It's only a minute or two away."

"Ok."

Kokoro just felt that she was a little strange today and thought that she was annoyed by the disobedient cat, so she didn't think much about it and followed her to a broken wall.

What puzzled her was that there was no cat waiting there.

Will all the cats come out if Kaede calls out?

"Kay..."

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp object piercing flesh came from behind. Kailu's pupils shrank sharply and she turned her head to check.

The strange creature that had never been seen before pierced Kokoro's slender body with its sharp purple tail blade with eyes. A large amount of black mist poured out from the monster's body and formed a translucent crystal to seal her inside.

The monster emerged from a silver-haired beastman. Kailu looked at her and her sealed companions, and asked in a trembling voice in disbelief: "Your Majesty, didn't you agree to spare her life?"

The silver-haired orc she called "Your Majesty" mocked, "I'm not dead yet, so... you think what I did was wrong?"

"cocoa..."

But how can I explain this to the others?

Kailu knelt on the ground helplessly as if she had lost her soul, and the emotion called "guilt" gradually occupied her heart.

His Majesty walked in front of Kailu, and the black mist condensed into beast claws, pinched her snow-white and slender neck, lifted her up on the spot, and then slowly increased the force.

Kael came to her senses and kicked her legs wildly in the air. She raised her hand to grab the beast's claw, but her palm went right through it. The suffocation made her heart beat violently, as if it would break through her chest in the next second.

Her eyeballs gradually became bloodshot, her vision became blurred, and low sobs came out of her throat, until a photo flew out of her pocket due to her struggle and caught His Majesty's attention, and then he threw Kael to the ground like trash.

Chapter 301: Killing Horses Overnight

Jiang Zao didn't know how he fell asleep. Perhaps he was too bored while waiting for Kokoro and Kailu to come back. He leaned on the sofa and listened to Huihui talking about how beautiful today's [Explosion Magic] was. The girl's pleasant and ethereal voice was like a lullaby, lulling him to sleep.

The view of the endless starry sky above and beneath his feet reminded him of the time when he met the goddess Eris before coming to the continent of Astraea.

"I've been thinking about [What is heading towards death] these days, so I had this dream?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the goddess Eris appeared in front of him with an anxious look: "Jiang Zao!"

"Eris is here too, wow! Long time no see."

"Kokoro is in danger, go to this place and save her!" Eris waved her hand to show a picture shrouded in black fog. Judging from the surrounding scenery, it looked like a corner of the Royal City Park.

Jiang Zao's expression suddenly changed. He realized that this was not just a dream. He memorized the scene around the picture and yelled at Eris, "Let me out of this dream!"

"Kokoro, I'm leaving it to you." After she said this, she waved her hand and sent her out of the dream.

"Damn it!"

The angry roar startled Huihui and Pekolim. They stared blankly at Jiang Zao who had just woken up, wondering what kind of nightmare he had that made him so angry after waking up.

Without bothering to explain anything to the two, Jiang Zao instantly put on [Elemental Armor]. The metallic sound couldn't cover up the anger in his words: "Be prepared for battle at home!"

Leaving these words behind, he rushed through the door of the house. What he couldn't understand was that he had clearly made corresponding disguises when issuing the commission, so why were they attacked by something that looked like [Something Towards Death].

Must catch up!!!!

Surrounded by the element of wind, the pitch-black armor transformed into a flash of lightning that shuttled through the streets of the royal city.

......

"Interesting, you actually carry this kind of thing with you." Picking up the photo that Kailu dropped on the ground, His Majesty looked at her with a slightly raised mouth, pretending to be unhappy, and laughed maliciously: "Am I seeing right? You actually laughed in the house game... It seems that you are really immersed in this fake relationship. This is not good... Not good at all."

Kailu covered her swollen neck and defended herself hoarsely: "Your Majesty Batong... No... I didn't..."

"No? Then I'll destroy this kind of thing for you."

"what..."

The color photo gradually turned yellow under the erosion of the black fog, and then turned into powder and drifted in front of Kael. The powder seemed to turn into sharp blades, digging a huge hole in her heart.

Ba Tong saw that her eyes had lost their luster and she knelt on the ground like a lifeless doll. The black mist condensed into a knife tip and hooked her chin: "A chess piece betrayed the trust of his companions. Do you think...will they forgive you?"

Tears silently slid down Kailu's eyes, and every moment of her time with her companions flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope. The picture finally froze on Kokoro's surprised expression when she was invited and Jiang Zao's doting smile.

He...will never forgive me, and everyone...will never forgive me either.

Her heart twitched uncontrollably, as if countless sharp thorns were piercing it, and the pain made her face even paler.

"It looks like you've got the answer... So, I have a good suggestion. Why don't you let me kill you? This way, at least I can leave a good impression in the hearts of my companions." Ba Tong was wrapped in black mist, like a cluster of malice, using words to drag people into despair.

"..."

"You've completely lost your reaction? How boring! I wanted to see you in pain for a little longer."

[Don't waste time, quickly take that elf back and search its memory. Our fusion level is not high now, so it's not suitable for us to be outside for too long.]

【I'm done now.】

"Goodbye then, disgusting little toy."

"Oh!"

The sound of glass breaking suddenly rang out in this remote corner, and the barrier set up by Ba Tong was smashed to pieces.

"I'm going to kill your mother today!" A violent roar accompanied by gray ripples stopped time. Jiang Zao saw Kokoro wrapped in gray crystal and Kael who was almost beheaded, and his eyes turned red.

Although he couldn't see the true appearance of this black figure, he was very familiar with the strange body connected to the crystal behind him. Who else could it be except the virus program "What Towards Death?"

Save Kokoro and Kailu first!

Jiang Zao did not hesitate at all and used [Dark Thunder], [Prismatic Gun], [Glorious Sword] and other attack methods to cut off the part of the body connected to the crystal.

The stand was attached to his body, and fist shadows fell on the surface of the crystal like a storm. Under this high-intensity attack, large cracks appeared on the crystal, and finally shattered.

Jiang Zao held the [Blade of Resurrection], which represented the power of life, in his hand. Without any hesitation, he stabbed it into Kokoro's cold body.

[Blade of Resurrection] turned into a green light film that wrapped around her. Her originally pale face gradually turned rosy, and her breathing gradually slowed down. All signs indicated that she was no longer in danger.

After feeling a little relieved, Jiang Zao rescued Kael who was about to be beheaded, and protected her and Kokoro behind him.

Without any worries, he pointed the murderous aura that was about to become a physical entity directly at the black shadow assimilated by [What is Towards Death]. The glowing sword in his hand swung out a series of afterimages, and hundreds of sword energies surrounded it tightly.

[Dark Eclipse Thunder] was continuously stacked in his hand and condensed into a lightning-shaped spear. Jiang Zao did not stop stacking until he thought it was almost impossible to control it. The magic in his hand made him feel like he was holding an unstable small nuclear bomb.

After slightly adjusting the throwing angle to ensure that even if the black shadow escaped the encirclement of the sword energy, it would be lifted into the sky and exploded by this compression magic, Jiang Zao threw out the lightning spear and led the two to evacuate towards the guild hut.

"Time begins to flow."

Facing the sword energy and magic, Ba Tong was buried before he even had time to put up a defense, but the explosion that Jiang Zao imagined did not happen. He didn't want to delve into why this happened. The most important thing now was to rush back to check on Kokoro's injuries.

"Damn it!" Ba Tong's broken body fell into the basement. All its limbs were broken and its body was like a rag with no intact place. Its heart was completely gone and its brain was like a smashed watermelon.

Even so, it is still strangely alive.

[That's why I told you not to waste time. You're so seriously injured, and the progress of your fusion has been greatly affected. Don't worry about the things in this world, and choose to completely fuse. Only in this way can I bring out my full strength.]

"He actually hurt my perfect face... I must tear him into pieces!"

After Ba Tong said this, he turned into a black mist and drilled into the strange heart.
