Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Then, changing the subject, he said, "However, there is indeed an explanation from the player's perspective..."

"I just listed the legitimate organizations in Japan for Mr. Jolyne. Aren't you curious about what legitimate organizations exist in the much larger Ming Dynasty?"

"But the fact is, there is only one legitimate player organization in the Ming Dynasty: Bai Yujing."

"As far as I know, this is because of a national treasure called the Nine Provinces Cauldron, which completely controls the Ming region and does not allow any disobedience."

"Then... Japan just happens to be outside the Kyushu region. And when Japan submitted to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had already acquired too much territory, so no one paid attention to this place, and that's how it ended up like this."

As Mr. Kakuta was about to leave after the conversation ended, Esdeath, who had been listening for a while, stood up and suddenly asked, "May I test your strength?"

"Huh?" Mr. Kakuta looked at Jolyne.

"Does Mr. Kakuta mind?"

Jolyne thought for a moment and, instead of rejecting Esdeath's idea, asked on her behalf.

"That would be acceptable."

Mr. Kakuta simply stood still, signaling Esdeath to launch an attack.

Esdeath didn't stand on ceremony and immediately raised her palm, causing a white light to appear at her fingertips—the power of Mahapadma, capable of freezing time and space.

Medea and the others all turned their attention to this unexpected guest.

When Esdeath's ice receded and pointed towards the time when Mr. Kakuta was trying to freeze it, Mr. Kakuta didn't even react to the attack.

……

Jolyne opened the door and saw the deer off.

Esdeath hugged his arm and said, "I will grow up quickly to protect you."

Jolyne: "..."

Chapter 306 The New Apartment

"Actually, I can protect you too."

Jolyne felt that her authority was being challenged.

"Then you protect me, and I'll protect you?"

Esdeath is extremely intelligent.

"It seems... that might work?"

For the rest of the time, Jolyne recounted her experiences in the Fate world to Mitsuri and the others.

Esdeath, who turned enemies into friends.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, elementary school classmates.

Scáthach was forcibly kicked out of the game.

He summoned hungry ghosts and evil gods, and also sent Jolyne a stand-in to his eager pursuers.

Hearing one story after another made Saeko Busujima itchy to fight, and she hinted with her eyes that she must join Jolyne in the next world to fight alongside him.

Jolyne also assured her that she would next time.

Four people worked together, and the prepared dinner was quickly gathered on the table.

This time, nothing unexpected happened, dinner went smoothly, and the level of familiarity among us reached a new level for the first time.

However, Jolyne noticed that Mitsuri Kanroji ate two fewer bowls than usual today.

"Miri, what's wrong?" Jolyne asked.

"Because we're moving..."

Mitsuri Kanroji hugged Jolyne, rubbing her face against her and saying, "I finally managed to make a few friends around the apartment area~"

Hmm... she wasn't referring to Kirisu Mafuyu, but rather to the gossipy, generous auntie in the neighborhood.

"Regarding this, we're not moving."

Joren gently rubbed her cheek; Miss Kanroji was adorable no matter how you looked at her.

"Huh? Didn't we say we were moving?"

"That Deer God Shrine?"

"I'm just feeling a little down, I didn't say I definitely couldn't move."

Kanroji Mitsuri said shyly that she thought Jolyne wouldn't move because of her.

"We were originally planning to move, but now it's unnecessary."

Jolyne stopped Mitsuri Kanroji from having a fantasy.

"I originally planned to move because the apartment was a bit too small, but now, all I need to do is rearrange the exterior of the apartment."

The move was a decision made before Mr. Kakuta arrived. Now that Mr. Kakuta has invited Jolyne to join Chiba Zoo, and Chiba Prefecture is Chiba Zoo's territory, there's no need to hide anything anymore.

Is the apartment small?

Medea's base could be instantly transformed into a more suitable apartment, and the nearby people would ignore the change in the apartment due to cognitive magic.

Chiba is the territory of Chiba Zoo.

Jolyne joined Chiba Zoo.

=Chiba is Jolyne's territory!

If you don't even dare to do this little thing, then you've joined Chiba Zoo for nothing!

As for the Deer God Shrine that Nonoko gave him, Jolyne couldn't actually preside over the shrine; he already wanted to find someone else to handle the affairs.

"What kind of transformation should it take?"

Medea asked, as she didn't know much about the preferences of everyone in the apartment.

"It is indeed a difficult problem," Saeko Busujima said with a smile. "Let's discuss it together."

Kanroji Mitsuri: "We promised each other last time that we would plant a cherry blossom tree in the garden for next year's cherry blossom viewing!"

Shizuka Marikawa: "Teacher wants a hot spring."

Lily: "A separate kitchen that can be used to make desserts."

Medusa: "A bigger bed?"

Esdeath: "A gym? But it seems like we already have territory in the workshop..."

-

At this time, Zongwu University~

"I'm so tired, my shoulders are so sore."

Kirisu Mafuyu put down the file in her hand, opened her phone, and noticed that it was already very late.

The office was empty. Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had been working overtime with her, suddenly said that her family had arranged a "blind date" and left through gritted teeth.

The reason Kirisu Mafuyu is working overtime today is because of a sudden assignment.

The Nakano Five Sisters, whose academic performance was completely exposed shortly after transferring to Sobu University.

"Teacher Kirisu, these five children's grades are too bad. As an excellent teacher at Soubu High School, I believe that only you can take on the responsibility of teaching them."

On Friday, when the students were leaving school, the principal, who was already balding, said this to Kirisu Mafuyu.

The Nakano sisters' father is the director of a large private hospital. When Nakano Maruo revealed that he had several daughters who wanted to transfer to his school, the principal of Sobu High School agreed without hesitation.

Today, he suddenly discovered the past achievements of the Nakano Five Sisters at other schools.

It's fair to say that... the combined scores of all subjects didn't even reach the passing grade for a single subject.

Chiba Sobu University, the school with the highest deviation score in Chiba City and boasting numerous honors, does not want to see a situation where "five outstanding students win the last place" during its term.

One is fine, but there are five!

When five students in a row had single-digit scores, the principal felt as if his face would be slapped on the ground along with the published report cards.

"Teacher Kirisu, I'm entrusting these five children to you."

"Please, you must save them!"

At the principal's request, Kirisu Mafuyu left the principal's office with the five-part file.

...and then it became what it is now.

After researching for a long time, I came up with various solutions.

Kirisu Mafuyu realized that she couldn't even tell which of them was Nakano Miku from her class.

"Sigh~" Teacher Kirisu sighed.

"Seriously, quintuplets? Is it really possible for a mother to have such an amazing mother?"

Kirisu Mafuyu touched her stomach, and just after imagining it for a moment, she started to shiver.

Five babies? I could never have done that myself!

Just then, she got hungry.

Clutching her empty stomach, Kirisu Mafuyu thought for a moment and then put the files into her bag. She still had two days over the weekend to think about this.

I went downstairs and started the car.

As she drove out of the school gate, Kirisu Mafuyu hesitated for a moment but decided to go straight back to her apartment to eat instant noodles.

Soubu University and the apartment were relatively close. When Kirisu Mafuyu parked her car nearby and walked a few steps to get back to her room on the second floor of the apartment via the stairs, she noticed that something seemed off about the apartment today.

Where did the apartment go?

I remember it being in this spot?

Why did the dilapidated two-story building that should have been there become a... complex building?

Kirisu Mafuyu hesitated for a moment, then looked around and realized that this was indeed the place.

Just then, she saw a door number.

At the opening in the courtyard wall, a vertical nameplate is affixed to a marble pillar next to the white gate.

It says on it: Sakura-sou?

"Sakurasou?"

Upon seeing the name, Kirisu Mafuyu recalled a memory: a while ago, Jolyne had bought this apartment from the landlord, Aso Miyuri, and had been saying she wanted to renovate it.

Oh, the renovation was finished today.

Kirisu Mafuyu did not notice anything amiss.

Chapter 307 Sakura-sou

Is Sakura-sou the new name of the apartment building?

Pushing open the door to Sakura-sou, Kirisu Mafuyu could see inside.

First, there was a courtyard that appeared out of nowhere, where a thick cherry tree with a very developed root system had been pruned into an elegant and graceful shape, its petals shimmering in the moonlight.

Kirisu Mafuyu felt that if a comedian came to interview her, they would definitely exaggerate and call it a "divine tree with a three-hundred-year-old age".

"Mafuyu, your room is on the right."

Kanroji Mitsuri's voice suddenly came, startling Kirisu Mafuyu.

Only then did she notice that Kanroji Mitsuri was collecting cherry blossom leaves.

"Miri, what are you doing?"

Kirisu Mafuyu asked with a restrained expression.

Kirisu Mafuyu was simply unable to resist the enthusiasm of Kanroji Mitsuri, and they eventually became friends who could talk to each other.

"Let's make sakura mochi, and Mafuyu can come and eat some later too."
