Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Needless to say, the ghost stories were already controlled the moment they were born in the Yinluo Spirit Mansion. The nature of the ghost stories left them nowhere else to go, and they easily and willingly recognized Xulun as their master.

Hmm... Mrs. Irisviel even secretly came to Jolyne, hoping to exchange her body for Jolyne not touching Illya.

As for Jolyne's answer...

He chose to call Sadako over and have Mrs. Irisviel say it to her again.

Thinking that Jolyne was humiliating her, Mrs. Irisviel, for the sake of her daughter, did everything with an expression of shame that was almost crying. Sadako then pressed Mrs. Irisviel down on her lap and spanked her hard on the buttocks. As a veteran, she had not yet been able to obtain a master, and you, a newcomer, dared to disregard your senior!

The workplace bullying ultimately fell on this very innocent and naive wife.

Hmm... virginity and naivety.

Mrs. Irisviel was actually only one year older than her daughter, Ilya.

Irisviel has accepted her as her master, and her two maids, Lyselle and Sera, will not have any thoughts of resistance.

And what about Karen at the end?

Because of the Black Grail, she never experienced the extraordinary events of the normal timeline. Instead, she had a wonderful childhood growing up alone, and her personality became peaceful and gentle after becoming a ghost story. She not only earnestly calls Jolyne "master," but also takes the initiative to say that she has experience managing shrines.

Red A did do something good, actually.

Although a timeline was destroyed, these girls did indeed live out ten years of everyday life.

After using Paradise Coins to set up their identities, Jolyne had Jorogumo transfer all of their spaces to the Deer God Shrine.

On the surface, she works as a priestess, managing the territory given to her by the Chiba Zoo on behalf of Jolyne.

But behind the scenes, of course, they were developing a ghost story association!

Joining Chiba Zoo doesn't mean Jolyne can't build her own power base.

A so-called "Strange Tales Association" must not only have strange tales, but also players who can direct those tales.

Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, these two living people, are the vanguards that Jolyne plans to bring into Paradise to become S-class.

To infiltrate the amusement park, players must first become ordinary people in the main world.

That is, to eliminate the extraordinary.

Sakura Matou and Rin Tohsaka must pass through the Trial World as ordinary people.

This means they might die.

Jolyne thought the two of them would definitely pass, but Rin Tohsaka didn't think so.

Although she was willing and wanted to gain power, Rin Tohsaka did not want Sakura Matou to join in.

Matou Sakura didn't listen to her sister, so when Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana met them, Tohsaka Rin was still trying to dissuade Matou Sakura.

However, it will take time for them to become players.

Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, who grew up in a world without extraordinary abilities, hadn't even learned any killing techniques. Although Jolyne believed in the luck of these two protagonists, she didn't believe they would be directly sent to the Paradise of Desperate Survival.

The birth of the Ghost Stories Association will have to wait.

Jolyne didn't care about this.

After all... this isn't a game farm where you can simply click to plant, then click to water and fertilize to harvest the crops on the plot.

There will be S-rank subordinates, and there will also be the Ghost Story Association, which only S-rank players can join.

Touching the pendant in the workshop, Jolyne had plenty of patience and confidence.

At that moment, Medea used a skewer to pick up a takoyaki and held it to Jolyne's mouth.

"Would you like some takoyaki?"

"of course."

Jolyne accepted the food.

Today, Medea wore a white dress with a bow and light blue knee-high socks. Her cute outfit made her feel both shy and dizzy, as docile and serene as if she had drunk a bottle of light beer.

Although she herself agreed to give the night to Esdeath, Medea was still a little jealous, so Jolyne decided to spend today with Medea.

"A formal date..."

Medea was secretly watching Jolyne, and she was in a very good mood.

For this date, she even specially entrusted Lily, who might spoil the atmosphere, to Saeko Busujima.

After feeding the animals, Medea saw a couple nearby playing a game of sharing an ice cream. Her face flushed red, and she felt a little tempted, but shyness prevented her from taking any action.

Chapter 317 Witch

[This chapter has been ordered to be revised. Please forgive any grammatical errors or awkward phrasing.]

Medea did not hide her gaze, and Jolyne quickly noticed the game.

What flavors does Medea like?

Jolyne led her to the ice cream stand and asked Medea a question.

Medea's gaze drifted, her head spinning so much she almost fell backward. After a long while, she finally managed to utter a soft sound, "...Strawberry."

"Boss, one strawberry dish, please."

Soon after receiving the strawberry ice cream, Jolyne and Medea found a place to sit down.

As Jolyne took a bite, Medea, who was waiting, also swallowed hard.

Gollum~

"We're going to share ice cream, but just thinking about it makes my brain burn. What's the magic spell to calm myself down? Medea, you've tried everything Master has, and this is just an indirect kiss. What are you being shy about...?"

Too shy to even acknowledge her gift of high-speed divine speech, Medea calmed down and could perform magic simply by giving instructions.

A jumble of thoughts caused the pink mosquito coil pattern to swirl in Medea's magic eyes.

When Jolyne handed her the ice cream, Medea instinctively leaned forward, and the opening and closing of her lips and teeth were no longer under her brain's control.

It was cold when I bit into the ice cream.

The heat comes from the narrow encounters on the battlefield.

The sticky consistency could be melted butter or something else entirely.

The strawberry-flavored pink blends together with the pink hearts that radiate from Medea, making it impossible to tell which one is sweeter.

When Medea came to her senses, she found that the ice cream in front of her had completely disappeared.

"……Gone?"

Medea asked, looking rather naive.

Would you like to buy another one?

Jolyne picked up a tissue and wiped the cream off Medea's lips. She felt that this girl was a bit similar to Jorogumo. They were both mature and charming in normal times, but became incredibly innocent and shy when it came to the crucial moment.

"I don't want to buy another one," Medea said shyly, shaking her head in refusal.

Then, without thinking, he blurted out, "I should have bought the larger portion earlier."

If it weren't for the lingering strawberry taste in her mouth proving what happened, she might have even doubted whether she had just shared an ice cream with Jolyne.

"This must be because I'm not yet used to my new body," Medea was certain of.

Jolyne opened her phone and saw the Line message that Yotsuya Miko had sent her.

Yotsuya Miko: Is Jolyne free on Saturday?

Jolyne: I'm busy.

After replying, Jolyne turned off her phone.

Regardless of Medea's reasons, given her personality, if she was willing to give up last night to Esdeath to avoid a dilemma, then Jolyne should sincerely respond to Medea's feelings and make up for it with a wonderful date.

Well... only in this way can Jolyne avoid dying from a woodcutter's axe one day.

Medea's Mantra of Wisdom is far more lethal than an ordinary woodcutter's knife.

One poke and they're all silent.

-

Meanwhile, at the Deer God Shrine on the mountain.

Having finally received Jolyne's reply, Yotsuya Miko didn't pay much attention, as she was sitting in the cleaned-up hall with Yurikawa Hana, exchanging information with Tohsaka Rin about how she met Jolyne and her thoughts on the matter.

"He sounds like a decent person."

Rin Tohsaka crossed her arms. Although she already knew that Shinji Matou and Taiga Fujimura, whom she had met a few days ago, were both Jolyne, she was still quite unsettled and wanted to know everything about him because her and her sister's fates were now in the hands of this "president".

"Rin, Lord Jolyne is really kind. The fact that he didn't attack us directly proves that."

Irisviel defended Jolyne, her bottom still a little sore, but Sadako's words did make her trust Jolyne a bit more.

Hmm... With 18 points of base charm, the Demon Lord of the Yin Luo Robe, and the domination of the Yin Luo Spirit Palace, Jolyne is quite approachable in the world of ghost stories, almost comparable to the allure of a little boy to a priest.

"Yes, the owner is very thoughtful."

Karen chimed in.

Hearing this title, Yotsuya Miko felt both ashamed and expectant.

Hmm... I'm hoping the Deer God Shrine has a way to resolve her psychic abilities.

During a few casual conversations, Yotsuya Miko noticed that some of the shrine maidens called Jolyne by her name, some addressed her as "master" or "divine master," and others added "brother" or "sir" after her name.

Although the titles differ, they all indicate the differences in status.

According to Yotsuya Miko's judgment, there must be a deeper connection between them and Jolyne, and that might just be the "extraordinary" she has been searching for all along.

"..." Rin Tohsaka, who had been refuted by Irisviel and Kallen, didn't want to say anything.

Just as Irisviel said, they were able to live thanks to Jolyne's help. Now, not only were they not forced to the window and turned into tools, but they were also given identity, choices, and power... This is already a great respect and tender consideration.

"But all of you ghost stories seem to be bewitched, which really worries me!"

Rin Tohsaka thought to herself, then couldn't help but glance at her younger sister, Sakura Matou.

She also seemed preoccupied.

"Are Ms. Tohsaka and Ms. Matou still in school?" Miko Yotsuya continued to ask.

Although she knew that Jolyne was the head priest of this Deer God Shrine, they had only exchanged a few words during their last meeting and could hardly be considered to have any real relationship. Yotsuya Miko pondered how to express her needs.

This question reminded Rin Tohsaka of Homurahara Academy, which was also destroyed on that world line.

"...I guess you could say I dropped out of school."

After a moment of silence, Rin Tohsaka answered.

"Although it's fine to continue studying in Chiba, the shrine needs to be managed every day, so Matou Sakura and I have decided to become full-time shrine maidens."

Managing the shrine is just the surface; the deeper reason, of course, is that Rin Tohsaka wants to become stronger.

At that moment, Yurikawa Hana suddenly asked with great interest, "Does the shrine still recruit shrine maidens? Yotsuya Miko and I are both pure young girls!"

Many shrines that are short of staff will recruit female college students to become part-time shrine maidens. As shrine maidens serve as a medium for communication between gods and humans, shrines also require shrine maidens to be pure.

This Deer God Shrine is so big that the few shrine maidens in front of her are definitely not enough. Thinking of the god Jolyne they mentioned, Yurikawa Hana suddenly became very interested in becoming a shrine maiden at this shrine for a while.

"Eh? A shrine maiden?"

After hearing about it from a friend, Yotsuya Miko also became somewhat interested.

However, this was not something they could decide. Matou Sakura and Tohsaka Rin exchanged a glance and shook their heads, saying, "I will inquire for you. The matter of recruiting shrine maidens needs to be decided by Jolyne."

……

Chatted for a while.

Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana left.

Looking at the shrine maidens around her, Rin Tohsaka sighed and instructed, "Sera, please take down the personnel introductions that were just posted."

As soon as she posted it, she ran into someone she knew. Rin Tohsaka felt that if she continued to display it, many girls who knew Jolyne would come to visit every day.

Let's avoid this kind of trouble...

Rin Tohsaka rolled up her sleeves, ready to get down to business.
