Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Sakura Matou kept talking, as if she wanted to say everything that Sakura Matou had said in other timelines.

Jolyne simply faced it with a calm expression, after all, he was just Jolyne disguised as Shinji Matou.

Pretending is pretending; it would be ridiculous to actually put yourself into it.

"So where did Shinji Matou go in this timeline? Was he also sealed away by Paradise like his abilities? Or was he simply killed by Paradise?"

Jolyne's consciousness drifted elsewhere, only to see Matou Sakura stop talking, approach him, and ask, "Brother, are you planning to change?"

Jolyne did not respond to her, but fixed her gaze on the cleavage of Matou Sakura's chest, where there was a bead that Jolyne recognized.

"Sakura, let me see the necklace."

"Eh?"

Sakura Matou, who was waiting for Jolyne's response, noticed where he was looking when she heard these words. She clutched her chest, quickly took a step back, gave a cute hum, and untied the necklace from the back of her neck, taking it out.

"Give."

It's orange-red with three stars inside, and you can see them from any angle when you spin it in your palm.

"...The summoning item is the Dragon Ball?"

Jolyne held the warm bead, feeling somewhat speechless.

"Since they're Dragon Balls, why bother with the Black Grail? Let's just collect all seven Dragon Balls and summon Shenron to grant our wishes!"

Jolyne then thought of Hachiman Hikigaya's Dragon-Seeking Ruler; perhaps that thing was quite powerful in finding the Dragon Balls.

"Sakura, lend me the necklace for now, I'll return it to you in a few days."

Jolyne held the Dragon Ball in her palm and spoke to Sakura Matou beside her.

Sakura Matou wanted to say something more, but seeing Jolyne's fluctuating emotions, she didn't refuse.

"Brother, you must not lose this bead."

"Yeah... I will."

Jolyne didn't know if the summoning item would disappear after use. Seeing a crow appear by the window, she got up to see Matou Sakura off.

"Sakura, go back and rest."

"I see."

As Jolyne saw her off, Matou Sakura watched the door close and gazed earnestly at Jolyne with her purple eyes, saying, "Goodnight, brother."

“…Goodnight.” After a pause, Jolyne still responded with a goodnight to Matou Sakura.

Sakura Matou laughed, put her hands behind her back, turned her body with a dance move, and left like a young deer.

Jolyne closed the door, and another voice sounded behind her.

"I'm saying, do you have to mess with several women in every world?"

Yukino Yukinoshita climbed in through the room window while making sarcastic remarks, followed by King Arthur and Black Sun, who had changed into casual clothes.

Since her image had already been completely eroded by Yukino Yukinoshita, Jolyne was too lazy to explain and focused her attention on the blond-haired, blue-eyed Heroic Spirit.

Looking at their combination strangely, Jolyne also remarked, "Is this Saber? As expected of the benevolent and kind-hearted Yukinoshita."

Although there are many Servants in the Fate universe who look like King Arthur, considering Yukino Yukinoshita's personality and the class she appears in, Jolyne chooses to believe that the Servant she summoned is King Arthur.

Otherwise, it couldn't be Mordred, could it? Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't have that much hatred for her father.

The Saber that Jolyne mentioned is naturally a title for King Arthur in the Fate world. Although the word originally means swordsman, anyone who knows a little about the Fate world will think of this king as soon as it is mentioned.

One reason for this is probably that King Arthur sounds too masculine; the title might be more suitable for describing a burly man than a blonde, blue-eyed girl.

Saber glanced at the Command Seals on Jolyne's hand and immediately shielded Yukino Yukinoshita behind her.

"Master, danger!"

Yukino Yukinoshita gestured to Saber not to get agitated and introduced her, saying, "Saber, this is a companion I can trust."

Then she glanced at Jolyne, crossed her arms, and asked Jolyne, "Given our relationship, the very capable Jolyne should be willing to form an alliance with me, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed that Jolyne hadn't summoned any Heroic Spirits yet, and with her sharp tongue, she planned to regain her face in Demon Slayer in this limited-time dungeon.

Faced with the somewhat arrogant Yukino Yukinoshita, Jolyne brought out a sea bream dish from the workshop.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Saber's ahoge (cowlick) quickly stood straight up.

Chapter 154 My King is Not Full Yet

It turns out that Saber and Yukino Yukinoshita had indeed not eaten yet.

Faced with the glowing dish Jolyne presented, Saber's initially wary gaze quickly narrowed, and her ahoge (cowlick) stood straight up.

One of the most important things in life is sitting down to eat.

Yukino Yukinoshita watched Jolyne, who was constantly returning to the workshop to prepare supplies because Saber was eating too fast, and felt an urge to cover her face.

Since her address and appearance had already been exposed to unknown players, Yukino Yukinoshita had Saber, who was wearing armor, change into casual clothes and then began to think about where to hide.

Then she encountered the Black Sun, which was attracted by the gunshots. When Jolyne arrived at the Matou residence, she released it to search for the player's whereabouts.

So, Yukino Yukinoshita and Saber were brought back here.

"My king, how was my feeding?"

Jolyne wiped Saber's mouth as she ate with great relish. Completely captivated by the glowing food, Saber was oblivious to Jolyne's inappropriate behavior.

"...much tastier than Gao Wenqing's cooking."

Although she ate very quickly, Saber ate with great restraint. Thinking of the dishes she had eaten before, she gave a tactful answer to Jolyne's question.

Gawain the Sun Knight was a terrible cook who thought that the bigger the portion of food, the better, and who could simply mash potatoes to indicate that a meal was served.

Great Britain is supposed to be the future of England, so it's a bit cruel to have a Saber who loves to do nothing as king for so many years. No wonder Saber will eventually become like Lancer Saber, who is indifferent to everything.

"Jolyne, I am Arthur's Master."

Yukino Yukinoshita suppressed the strange thoughts of being NTR'd and said unhappily.

"Yukinoshita-kun, what's yours is mine."

Jolyne nonchalantly brushed off Yukino Yukinoshita.

Because her luck stat reached 5, Jolyne could open all sorts of things from the Fish Pot at the workshop, including glowing fish dishes, fish clothes-bursting dishes, and special fish from the Gourmet World...

It's possible that because the fish-shaped pot was revealed to be a Japanese oni, most of the fish-shaped blind boxes Jolyne opened were from Japanese anime.

By the way, Cooking Master Boy is actually an anime produced in Japan.

According to the Fate setting, Saber has half dragon blood flowing through her veins, making her a half-human, half-dragon being, which means she is also a non-human girl.

Moreover, the half-dragon girl is still in Saber's living state; she is currently in Heroic Spirit form.

Defeating Saber will unlock two achievements: Dragon Knight and Ghost Knight.

Jolyne returned to the workshop and opened the Non-Human Girl Help Handbook. Saber's affection level was high enough, and she appeared on the handbook's page.

[Artoria Pendragon: 80]

Just feeding it a glowing dish once raised its affection level to 80. It's no wonder it's called the Saber King; its hobbies and personality are quite easy to grasp.

Jolyne was wondering whether to let Saber try the "clothes-exploding dish" as well, but judging from the reactions of Mitsuri and the others after they had tried it, it was unclear whether Saber's affection level would increase or decrease if she did so. In any case, Jolyne's character would probably remain labeled as a pervert in Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes.

Seeing Jolyne staring at her, Saber put down the bowl she was holding and said seriously, "When it really comes to the battle, I won't hold back because of this."

Jolyne reached out and took Saber's empty bowl, refilling it with rice and coaxing her, "Saber, that's perfect."

Yukino Yukinoshita, holding chopsticks, offered her bowl to Jolyne, only to be ignored by him.

Being ignored like this, Yukino Yukinoshita's flat chest heaved. Taking a deep breath, she told herself not to get angry and gently reminded Jolyne, "Jolyne, Saber is just a Heroic Spirit. Is it really okay to treat her differently like this?"

The Heroic Spirits are not their original forms. Once the Holy Grail War is over, the Heroic Spirits will return to Valhalla.

Seeing Jolyne's behavior, Yukino Yukinoshita genuinely felt that Jolyne was seducing an innocent young girl.

Most importantly, the Saber that Jolyne abducted was her Heroic Spirit, which gave Yukino Yukinoshita the inexplicable feeling of being NTR'd in front of her, making her quite angry.

Saber didn't understand what Yukino Yukinoshita and Jolyne were talking about. Looking at her own body, she explained to Yukino Yukinoshita, "Although I am a Heroic Spirit, my current body is actually no different from that of a normal person."

Listening to Saber's explanation, Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated, unsure how to respond.

You only think about being a rice bowl, but little do you know that you are also rice in other people's eyes!

"Just a heroic spirit, I can take responsibility for it."

Faced with Yukino Yukinoshita's dissatisfaction, Jolyne explained to her in a low voice.

I have a way to bring Heroic Spirits out of this world. Even if something happens with Saber, I will take responsibility. You don't need to worry about it.

Yukino Yukinoshita understood Jolyne's meaning, turned her head away unhappily, and stopped caring about such matters.

Setting down her chopsticks, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Jolyne seriously and said, "Let's get down to business, Jolyne."

Just a moment ago she was tense and fighting to the death with other players, but she started to feel at ease when she met Jolyne. Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't know why, even though Jolyne's abilities have been sealed and her current strength is not as good as her own when she had Saber.

"You say it." Jolyne looked at Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, which only had one Command Seal left.

"Simply put, it's a story about a player who sends a puppet outside to impersonate the player, while the real player hides in the shadows and snipes at them with a sniper rifle. I almost had to leave the game early..."

Yukino Yukinoshita succinctly stated.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't seem to need comforting, so Jolyne didn't say much and went straight to asking, "Have you seen what the other person looks like?"

“I didn’t see it, but Miss Kurohi went after her and found something.” Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Kurohi standing by the window.

The first thing Yukino Yukinoshita did upon encountering Black Sun was not to look for Jolyne, but to arrange for Black Sun to investigate who he was.

"Atram Gariasta".

Hearing the names announced by the Black Daily, Jolyne, holding the Dragon Ball, already knew which one to summon.

The Lancer class has been released.

Just as the decision was made, the park announced another piece of news: the appearance of the Lancers...

Chapter 155 C Mom

Atram Gariasta.

Compared to this forgettable name, mentioning the betraying witch might bring some impression.

The treacherous witch Medea is actually the unfortunate princess of Colchis in Greek mythology.

According to this legend, Medea was the daughter of Aeetes, King of Colchis of Greece, and a sorceress taught by Hecate, the goddess of magic.

Because of the curse placed on him by the goddess Aphrodite, that he "would fall in love with Jason, the captain of the Argo," a series of legends of betrayal and being betrayed ensued.

She has some psychological trauma, and can choose to betray a Master she dislikes, but can also give her all for someone she likes, making her a rather complicated character.

Atram Gariasta was the Master who summoned Medea in the Fifth Holy Grail War, and also the unfortunate one who chose to betray Medea and was directly killed by her.

Since the player who replaced this identity attacked Yukino Yukinoshita with a gun, and Paradise did not announce the descent of a new class, then the relic used to summon Medea in the Fifth Holy Grail War, "Documents Related to Medea," should not have been used yet.

Compared to her troublesome personality, Medea's strength is even more impressive. She can conjure Command Seals, steal other people's Servants, and use enhancement magic to make her Master capable of tearing apart Servants with her bare hands. She managed to dominate the Holy Grail War, which was rotating out of the meta.

Jolyne clutched the Dragon Ball, somewhat tempted. After all, there was a high-level player lurking in the shadows, hunting him down. If he could get Medea, he could try to seize other players' Heroic Spirits; outnumbering them would be a good option.

"Miss Yukinoshita, would you like to come with me to take revenge?" Jolyne asked Yukinoshita directly.

Yukino wiped her mouth and pulled Saber to her feet.

"Of course, although emotionally I really want to kill him alone, rationally speaking, it's great that Jolyne wants to come along."

True to their word, before nightfall, Jolyne, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Saber left the Matou residence.

Fuyuki City is a fictional city in the Fate universe. The Fifth Holy Grail War takes place in 2004, a time when there weren't so many young people partying all night long.

The Holy Grail War, which must be kept hidden from ordinary people, is only truly chaotic at night unless there are ways to conceal it.

Atram Gariasta is a magician from a newly emerging family in the Middle East who is skilled at using money as a weapon in the original storyline.

Of the seven spots available in each Holy Grail War, aside from the three major families of Fuyuki City, the remaining spots are scattered among various families. Atram Gariasta purchased the right to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War for a hefty sum, hoping to enhance his family's prestige by participating in the Fifth Holy Grail War.
