Zongman: Evolution Paradise

-

Meanwhile, the second stage.

The gingerbread witch hugged Nakano Satsuki in front of her and, in the same manner Nakano Satsuki was piloting a bread robot, punched the shepherdess Miku's face hard, making it look crooked.

Finally, the shepherdess lay still on the ground.

Nakano Satsuki also breathed a sigh of relief.

This battle was extremely difficult.

Transforming creatures into sheep, demonizing sheep, and turning sheep into food that replenishes life force ensured the safety of the shepherdess's true form. In battle, the twisted and jealous nature of the two demon sheep was quite powerful, tormenting the gingerbread witch and the scarecrow to no end.

In the beginning, the gingerbread witch and the scarecrow were the ones being brutally beaten by the shepherdess. It wasn't until later that Satsuki Nakano and her sisters came up with a solution.

That is: to join the battle myself!

According to the previous rules, Pokémon cannot attack the trainer, Satsuki Nakano.

Since both demon sheep's abilities require the medium of sight, as long as she stands with the gingerbread witch, she can greatly limit the eye magic that the two demon sheep can use with their eyes!

Then, Nakano Satsuki sat on the gingerbread witch's chest with a serious expression.

Mech Warriors has arrived!

Despite the shame, she still transformed into the gingerbread witch and bread man, instantly pinning the bewildered shepherdess to the ground and beating her mercilessly.

The shepherdess couldn't control the two demon sheep to use their eye magic so precisely, but she did have a solution: to command the two demon sheep to spread out and use guerrilla tactics.

Hmm... the wolf was feigning sleep, ostensibly to lure the enemy.

In the end, after a brutal battle, Nakano Satsuki successfully subdued the shepherdess.

Now they need to go to the castle to rescue the queen.

The shepherdess rubbed her face, feeling a little sorry for her swollen cheek, and with even more heartache, she summoned a special apple tree.

The branches and trunk of the apple tree are silver, while the fruit is golden.

The shepherdess took one and handed it to Nakano Satsuki, who immediately took a bite.

"So sweet, it's even more delicious than the gingerbread man from the gingerbread witch."

As she spoke, Nakano Satsuki stuffed the golden apple into the gingerbread witch's mouth. The gingerbread witch took a small bite and nodded in approval.

Not only was it delicious, but the gingerbread witch also felt her mind become clearer.

Shepherdess: "..."

With a pang of regret, the shepherdess picked another one and put it in her pocket, saying, "This is the key item to awaken the queen, and it's quite precious. Let's hurry to the castle."

"It can finally be over."

Nakano Satsuki was a little disappointed that she couldn't taste more golden apples, but fortunately, she had enough of this one to divide into five equal parts so that everyone could have a bite.

Scarecrow: "The queen you are trying to rescue is currently being controlled by Miss Red, and Miss Red... even if all of us combined, we couldn't possibly defeat her."

"That's precisely why we don't need to worry about Miss Hong making things difficult for us. After all, it would be quite embarrassing for her to pretend to fight us."

The shepherdess explained.

It sounds reasonable, and it is indeed true.

Nakano Satsuki noticed that the panels for the three ghost stories around her had disappeared, which meant that the Magic Mirror had ended this sudden trial.

"Let's go then."

Satsuki Nakano embarks on a gym challenge with three Pokémon.

Upon arriving at the foot of the castle, the gates were already open to Nakano Satsuki. As soon as she took a step forward, she and the three ghost stories were transferred to the study on the third floor of the castle.

Miss Red sat in a chair, with a golden goose quacking at her feet.

"To save the queen, all you need to do is feed her the golden apple and then take off the red dancing shoes she's wearing."

Miss Hong said elegantly that she had no intention of making things difficult for Nakano Satsuki.

"Then I'm here?"

Satsuki Nakano had already learned from the scarecrow that the dancing shoes belonged to Miss Red.

Although I knew she wouldn't make things difficult for me, I was still a little reserved in the face of such a powerful ghost story.

Taking the golden apple from the shepherdess, Nakano Satsuki walked up to Miss Red, stared at the queen's cherry-pink lips, hesitated, and then tried to put it in the queen's mouth. The golden apple hit the queen's teeth with a dull thud.

"..."

Satsuki Nakano thought the golden apple would turn into liquid and flow down like in fairy tales.

Miss Hong: "..."

She felt a little sorry for her doll.

"Take a piece and stuff it in."

"Oh."

After feeding her a piece of apple, Nakano Satsuki squatted down and took off her red ballet shoes.

Chapter 384 Rescue, but not complete rescue

As the park prompted her, the marble-sculpted toy feet in Nakano Satsuki's hands came to life, instantly breaking free from her grasp and retracting behind her elaborately decorated dress.

Nakano Satsuki looked up and saw that the Queen's eyes had opened at some point. With surprise and some confusion, she asked Nakano Satsuki, "Are you the prince who saved me?"

Nakano Satsuki: "Uh..."

Please, she doesn't look like a prince, does she?

And does this mean that the next step in this situation is for you to marry me and repay me with your body?

There was no need for Nakano Satsuki to provide an answer, because the Queen had already seen a pair of red dancing shoes quietly resting at her feet.

Surprise and confusion quickly turned into terror. The queen needed to scream, but something seemed to be blocking her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

Then, the queen made a move.

Stiffly and fearfully, she stretched her toes out from under her dress again, then lifted them onto the table to admire the shimmering light under the lamp.

"Is the mission accomplished?"

Miss Hong asked.

Satsuki Nakano: "It's done."

Nakano Satsuki noticed that the Queen had started staring at her with pleading eyes and kept gesturing with her eyes to the half-eaten golden apple in her hand, probably implying that it could save her or something.

So, Nakano Satsuki put the golden apple in her hand into her mouth.

Please, I was able to complete my mission only because of Miss Red's help. Do you expect me, Nakano Satsuki, to put on a show of betraying my own people?

You're a ghost story, or the evil queen from Snow White! I'm afraid if I help you, I'll be turned into a frog and have to go kiss the prince.

Most importantly, even Nakano Satsuki didn't dare.

"That's good."

The queen put on her dancing shoes and returned to her previous doll-like state.

“Miss Nakano is free to explore the castle, except for the top floor and the basement. We will probably have to wait until the moon comes out again before we can leave the Strange Forest.”

Outside the pumpkin carriage, thunder had already rumbled six times, completely extinguishing the dim moonlight.

Nakano Satsuki glanced at the Paradise Mark and confirmed that her three-day trial period was determined according to the time of this fairy tale world, not 72 hours.

Where did Jolyne go?

She cared about this more than anything else.

After all, didn't our father pay Jolyne to do this for him? He's only taught us a little bit and now he's planning to leave us to fend for ourselves in these strange tales?

Although it wasn't impossible, Nakano Satsuki still felt something was off.

Hmm... The Queen's little expression just now clearly shows that this group of ghost stories are all villains. Nakano Satsuki feels that even the gingerbread witch has become much kinder.

"I'm dealing with some personal matters."

Miss Hong said tactfully.

Nakano Satsuki didn't understand, so she simply gave up her plan to find Jolyne and then took the Scarecrow and the Shepherdess to seek revenge on Ilya.

The study fell silent.

"Gah."

The golden goose suddenly cried out; it had laid a golden egg.

The shepherdess plucked a feather from the golden goose and approached Miss Red familiarly, but this time Miss Red refused, saying, "There's no need for today. I'll find someone else to do it later."

"???"

The shepherdess put down the feather and left, her face filled with the dejection of someone who had fallen out of favor.

……

"I was wrong, Nakano-neechan."

Ilya's face was already in Nakano Satsuki's hand, and because of her ghost story constitution, she could stretch it into an oval shape.

"I do not believe."

After Nino Nakano punished Illya, she replaced her with Satsuki Nakano.

Ghost stories wandered around the castle, some gathering together and talking about who-knows-what. After thinking for a moment, Nakano Satsuki decided to walk over to Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, who were still alive.

Are you players too?

Nakano Satsuki asked curiously.

Previously, when Nakano Miku controlled the body and played Three Kingdoms Kill with them, she wondered why two living people would join an association composed of ghost stories. Could it be that their situation was the same as hers?

"Not yet."

Rin Tohsaka replied.

The climate in the fairy tale world was a bit damp and chilly. Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou were sitting around the fireplace, chatting with Calcifer about the local customs and culture of this world.

Seeing Nakano Satsuki come over, Tohsaka Rin made room for her, took the kettle off Calcifer, poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Nakano Satsuki.

"Thank you."

Nakano Satsuki took a sip and was somewhat disappointed to find that it tasted like ordinary coffee from the main world.

"Because it was taken from the main world, the plants in that world all taste a bit strange."

Matou Sakura offered an explanation, causing Nakano Satsuki to purse her lips and blush.

Do you think I'm so easy to guess?

They didn't say anything, yet they immediately saw through my thoughts.

"Because your thoughts are all written on your face."

Sakura Matou further explained that she didn't actually have any mind-reading abilities; it was simply that Satsuki Nakano, due to her multiple personalities, was prone to making exaggerated facial expressions.

"I will try my best to control it."

Nakano Satsuki is powerless to do anything about it. The activity of her other personalities in her mind inevitably affects her control over her body, especially her emotions. She always experiences the complex and unpredictable emotions of menstruation. However, enjoying delicious food allows Nakano Satsuki to digest all the negative energy.

At this moment, Sakura Matou, who was observing Satsuki Nakano's expression, brought out a honey cake from the side.

The moment it was opened, the glowing effect of the food was so intense in the dimly lit environment that it was almost impossible to see without sunglasses. The unique aroma also made Nakano Satsuki's stomach rumble again.

Satsuki Nakano: "Five ants!"

Nakano Satsuki's favorability rating has gone up! Up!

"It's so easy to understand."

Rin Tohsaka retorted, picking up a small cake and handing it to Calcifer, who was complaining about the teapot.
