Zongman: Evolution Paradise

"???"

Ai Haibara, Anya, and Kanna formed a circle and turned on their phones.

Ai Haibara: What's going on?

Kanna: Kanna wants to know too.

Anya: Anya discovered that this is a big dog that can predict the future!

Ai Haibara: Did you discover this through mind reading?

Anya: That's right.

Kanna: What future did it see?

Because her race is dragons, whose lifespan is far longer than that of ordinary humans, Kanna is quite curious about this future.

Anya: Anya, let me see again!

Holding her phone, Anya turned her head back to look at the Great Pyrenees, who, because of these strange children, once again activated its precognitive abilities.

In the foreseen vision, the future is no longer the scene that Anya had chosen when she named herself.

The Great Pyrenees saw Anya and Connor standing to the side, and the exhibition hall suddenly became dark, with spiders emerging from all directions.

Then came several indistinct beings. The Great Pyrenees, trapped in its cage, tried to resist, but its body was covered by spiders. At this point, it was like a computer suddenly shutting down; its precognitive abilities went completely black, and the Great Pyrenees could no longer see what was happening behind it.

"!!!"

The Great Pyrenees looked at the three children with a terrified expression.

Even the dumbest dog now knows something's wrong, but after witnessing this brief premonition, the Great Pyrenees is completely too scared to run away.

After all, knowing that one is powerless to fight back in the foreseeable future, what if acting recklessly only hastens this fate of death?

"I didn't do anything, so why did such a big change happen just because I stared at the future for a while?"

"Could it be... that this kid doesn't like me?"

The Great Pyrenees is now desperate to know how to get the future back on track.

That is, to have Anya adopt him!

The dog panicked, and Anya witnessed the entire emotional shift within it.

Reopening her phone, Anya couldn't hide her excitement. In her haste, she made a few typos, deleted them, and started reporting again.

Anya: This big dog really can foresee the future! I saw scenes of me and Kanna in its mind, but strangely, Haibara wasn't there.

Kanna: Ai, Kanna won't allow it!

Because Anya's future didn't include Ai Haibara, Kanna, misunderstanding the situation, had tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Ai Haibara, who pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind.

Ai Haibara noticed Kanna's obvious change in expression and quickly typed an explanation.

Ai Haibara: That's because I am the anti-prophet. Just like Anya, you can't hear Kanna's inner thoughts, and that dog can't foresee my future either.

Anya: Wow, so cool!

Kanna: ...That's too much.

Ai Haibara: It's obvious that this dog can't predict the distant future, otherwise, is it staying here waiting for us?

Anya: It seems that's true, because Anya heard the big dog say that I was its owner.

Kanna begins to be wary: Anya can only be Kanna's owner.

Ai Haibara: So, what's with this dog? A player?

Ai Haibara frowned as she glanced at the Great Pyrenees in the cage. She was already considering contacting Jolyne, as it was unsettling to have a dog that could foresee the future hiding in such a place.

What exactly happened to these children?

"No, I need to take another look at the future and figure out how to get myself adopted."

The Great Pyrenees gritted its teeth, preparing to activate its ability to foresee the future for the third time.

Upon reading the idea, Anya quickly typed it out in the group chat.

Anya: This big dog is going to predict the future again!

Kanna: Leave it to me!

Ai Haibara: What do you plan to do?

How to do it?

Kanna toddled to the cage, held her two little hands in front of her eyes, made a semicircle with her thumb and forefinger, looked at the Great Pyrenees through the semicircle, and let out a cute "Awoo~".

In Anya and Ai Haibara's eyes, Kanna's performance was not exactly intimidating, but rather something that would excite a perverted lolicon.

Unfortunately, this cuteness appears incredibly terrifying in the face of the Great Pyrenees's premonition.

This time, there were no spiders or shadows in the scene. The Great Pyrenees clearly saw how it died. The little girl facing it stretched out her cute little paws and grabbed it, and then it was swallowed without any resistance!

"It's been eaten!!!"

Last time I didn't see how he died, but this time I saw it clearly!

The Great Pyrenees was trembling, and its tail was tucked between its legs.

"It's been eaten!" Anya thought in horror as she read the Great Pyrenees' inner thoughts.

Ai Haibara: What's wrong with it?

Kanna: I told myself that I would eat it in a little while.

Anya: I saw you actually used your mouth!

Kanna: Hehe~

Ai Haibara: A possible future based on the current situation? It doesn't seem quite right.

After that, the dog kept compressing its nerves to use its skills, only to discover that each of these resulted in a different way of dying.

Finally, after using the precognitive skill for the sixth time today, the dog's head lolled to the side and it passed out.

Noticing that the dog had given up struggling, Ai Haibara asked Anya, "What do we do now?"

Anya's eyes lit up as she pointed at the Great Pyrenees and excitedly uttered her signature phrase.

"Wow, so cool! Anya is going to adopt this big dog that can predict the future!"

"Then we can play detective games!"

Once Anya made her decision, Ai Haibara and Kanna accompanied her to complete the adoption procedures.

There were actually no formalities involved. The staff said the dog could be taken away directly, and if you paid, they could even deliver the dog to your door.

Anya paid the money without hesitation, and by the time she left the pet exhibition, it was already getting dark outside.

"Ania, what name are you going to give this dog?" Conna asked.

When it came to naming her pet, Anya thought for a moment and finally remembered her idol.

With one hand supporting her yellow hat, Anya said with a rather dramatic air, "Hmm... Anya is going to name it Kid Fogg."

"The one with Kaito Kid?"

Ai Haibara, expressionless, reminded him, "That phantom thief has been quite active lately, hasn't he? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to name a dog after a celebrity?"

"Then let's change it?"

"Hmm... let's call him Bond Fudge."

Anya made her decision quickly.

Chapter 216 Situation

"I'm back, Xu Lunqing."

When Yukino pushed open the door, Saber spoke loudly and energetically, her nose twitching unconsciously, wondering if her Jolyne had secretly eaten something delicious while she was away.

"Master, I'm back."

Medusa also whispered something.

Jolyne, who had already finished assembling the Noble Chariot, was holding a large bucket of popcorn and feeding it to Lily in her arms. Medea and Esdeath were leaning on either side of her, yawning and watching the movie with their Master.

The Fate/Grand Order's Fifth Holy Grail War timeline is still quite early, so there aren't many interesting films available. Jolyne was watching DVDs she brought from the main world.

Jolyne glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, and quickly received a glare from her, an expression that said, "I'm not going to greet you."

Yukino Yukinoshita: Holding a grudge...

"Saber, Medusa, thank you for your hard work."

Jolyne responded to them.

Yukino Yukinoshita: Holds a grudge +1

They handed the popcorn to Saber, and then they both found a place to sit down.

Jolyne placed Lily in Medea's arms and went to the other side, saying, "Miss Yukinoshita, I admit my mistake. Can you sit down and calm down?"

"No."

Yukino Yukinoshita sat down, but showed no intention of calming down because of a single sentence.

"Lord Jolyne, we have gathered a great deal of intelligence on this trip and request to report back to you."

Despite their anger, important matters still needed to be addressed. To some extent, Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita both enjoyed teasing each other with their nicknames.

"Reporting is permitted."

Jolyne nodded; the only remaining classes were Spearman, Archer, and Assassin.

"A very brief battle broke out at the Fuyuki City arcade. From the moment we sensed the magical burst to when we arrived, only a few minutes had passed, but the battle was already over."

"The battleground was basically limited to a burger joint inside the arcade, and the very brief battle left quite deep marks inside."

"When we arrived, we only saw a player and a spirit. It's worth mentioning that the player was a dog, but we can't rule out the possibility that the dog was just a smokescreen put up by a real player. After all, they seem to really like to find things to disguise themselves."

Thinking of this, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression became a little strange. Although this method was very effective, it was still a bit unsettling to use it with so many people at the same time. She couldn't help but wonder if these players really came from the same training class, just as Jolyne had said.

"continue."

Jolyne refrained from commenting on the possibility of a dog appearing as a player in the Holy Grail War, and continued listening to the information brought back by Yukino Yukinoshita.

"We sensed Steve Rogers' presence on the battlefield. He had just left, but judging from the behavior of that spirit and the destruction nearby, it's clear that the fighting wasn't actually Steve Rogers. Perhaps he was playing the same role as us, drawn in by the battle..."

"The Heroic Spirit we encountered was probably a Lancer, because she was carrying two guns."

"Wait, her?"

Before Yukino Yukinoshita could finish speaking, Jolyne interrupted her.

A female spearman, carrying two guns...

These clues came to mind, and Jolyne asked with some surprise, "Is she purple-haired, wearing a black bodysuit, and has a great figure?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

"That's right, you already know who she is?"

Yukino Yukinoshita grew increasingly curious about Jolyne's background and how he knew so much information...

"Hmm... Her name is Scáthach, and she is a very powerful Heroic Spirit. I just hope that she hasn't unsealed her suppressed power."

Jolyne pondered Scáthach's information in her mind. The combination of her various unique skills and Noble Phantasms was really troublesome. Jolyne wouldn't be surprised if this dog summoned Enkidu, but it summoned Scáthach instead.

Jolyne only hoped that she wouldn't unseal her suppressed power, otherwise, with that all-knowing wisdom, how could this Holy Grail War be fought?

"Wait a minute, I have the workshop on me, and I can decipher prophecies."

"As for how to fight?"

"It seems the only option is to have Esdeath ready to use the time-stop function at any time, and then unleash a devastating attack on her."

After thinking it over, Jolyne did come up with a few countermeasures. She quickly calmed down, looked at Esdeath, and said seriously, "Esdeath, we can't just use Time Stop anymore. We have to keep this Heroic Spirit in check."

"I see."
