Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Yui Yuigahama said in shock.

She had always thought that Yukino Yukinoshita was the minister.

"Weren't all the club affairs handled by you?"

Jolyne asked Yukino about the snow.

Yukino Yukinoshita calmly replied, "As the club president, you should be involved in club management, shouldn't you?"

what happened?

"Jolyne from Class 2-E, please approve my application to join the club!"

Yui Yuigahama approached Jolyne and handed him her application to join the club.

"Yui Yuigahama, please use a different form of address, otherwise your application to join the club may have difficulty being approved."

If you need someone to do you a favor, you should at least show some respect by addressing them as "Minister".

"You are abusing your power!"

Yui Yuigahama said unhappily, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita and Hachiman Hikigaya, and realizing that no one was helping her fight against the evil Jolyne, she slumped down again.

"You can report it to the minister."

"Aren't you the minister?"

"Then hurry up and change your nickname!"

"But is it really that hard to come up with a name like Xiao Xu or Xiao Lun?"

……

Yukino Yukinoshita stared blankly at their bickering, her mind unconsciously repeating what her mother had said the night before.

"Yukino, we, Yukinoshita, offended too many people when we were building our power. If we lose our strength, we will only be crushed..."

"Stop playing house. What you need now is victory and glory..."

Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been sitting quietly to one side, suddenly stood up, attracting the attention of the others.

Hachiman Hikigaya took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, as if trying to expel all the turmoil in his heart.

He said in a completely emotionless voice, "I want to leave the Ministry of Service."

These words were like a bombshell, plunging the entire room into silence.

"Leave, quit..." Yuigahama Yui was somewhat surprised and at a loss. "But why? Aren't we all having a good time here?"

Hachiman Hikigaya glared with his signature deadpan eyes and said impatiently, "It's so noisy! Who can get along with people like you?! This club is seriously affecting my daily life!"

"I'll explain everything to Professor Hiratsuka. That's all, I'm leaving now."

As he finished speaking, the door closed gently, leaving behind silence.

Yui Yuigahama turned her head, looking at Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita, seemingly at a loss.

The two remained seated there calmly.

Yukino Yukinoshita had her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Chapter 40 Service Department Trio

It was still raining when school ended in the afternoon.

Jolyne opened her umbrella, intending to go home.

At that moment, Yukino Yukinoshita came to his side, it seemed that she did not intend to stay in the Service Club to read books today.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the cherry blossom tree in the heavy rain and suddenly spoke.

What are your thoughts on Hachiman Hikigaya leaving the club?

Jolyne glanced around, making sure no one else was there, and confirmed that she was speaking to her. She calmly replied, "Respect others' wishes and put aside your desire to help others."

He was indeed surprised that Hachiman Hikigaya would leave the Service Club, but he didn't bother to investigate, knowing full well that it would be troublesome.

Do you respect others?

Yukino looked at the cherry blossom tree, its petals beaten down by the heavy rain, falling into the soil and getting covered in mud.

She turned to look at Jolyne and found that he had no intention of exchanging any more pleasantries; he had already opened his umbrella and was ready to rush into the rain and leave.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly grabbed Jolyne.

"If you have something to say, just say it quickly."

Jolyne returned helplessly and put down her umbrella.

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a breath: "I would like to ask you to take good care of the Service Club for me."

"What did you say?"

With a frown, Jolyne asked again in disbelief.

"For some reason, I need to leave the Service Department, and I would like to ask you to take good care of it for me."

Miraculously, Yukino Yukinoshita showed a hint of pleading.

This silenced Jolyne.

After a long silence, Jolyne turned her head away and said, "I don't have the virtue of granting people's wishes for free. Instead of coming to me, you should go to Yui Yuigahama. She's always like an energetic puppy."

"That's it."

Yukino lowered her head.

The two fell silent again, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Just then, Hachiman Hikigaya arrived. When he saw Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita, he silently avoided them.

He told himself, "I just need to be alone. Even if I die someday, no one will care..."

Unfortunately, Jolyne didn't give him a chance to leave, shouting at him, "Hey, Yui Yuigahama thinks that your departure was caused by her joining, and she feels very guilty."

Hachiman Hikigaya opened his mouth, but then stopped and replied, "I'll explain the reason to her later."

The three stood under the teaching building, the heavy rain still falling outside. Their first meeting was when they joined the Service Club together, but this time they were parting ways.

Jolyne didn't know how to feel. Maybe next week the Service Club would really become a ghost club, and the story in her mind would no longer continue, becoming a false memory.

Jolyne opened her umbrella and walked outside, breaking the silence.

Just then, the amusement park bracelet on his wrist lit up.

[Player - Curly-haired Baboon, is about to start your first evolution game]

[Paradise congratulates you in advance]

Welcome to this great evolution

Jolyne: "..."

On the third day after becoming a full-fledged player, the park finally reopened.

Yukino Yukinoshita stared in disbelief at her lit-up bracelet. Why? She had only become a player yesterday!

[Affected by special circumstances]

[Player - Mr. Pan, is about to start your first evolution game]

[Paradise congratulates you in advance]

Welcome to this great evolution

Hachiman Hikigaya was also looking at the bracelet when the message from the amusement park made his expression change.

[Affected by special circumstances]

[Player - The Lonely One, is about to begin your first evolution game]

[Paradise congratulates you in advance]

Welcome to this great evolution

Jolyne: Disappearing in front of them, won't that be considered a paranormal event...?

Yukino Yukinoshita: We should have had time to prepare, so why? Why did things turn out so much worse than expected?

Hachiman Hikigaya: How could it be so fast? Dad, Mom, Sister, I will definitely come back alive...

-

[This Trial World: Demon Slayer]

[World travel completed]

[Identity placement completed]

[Task mode confirmed]

Four message notifications sounded, and Jolyne appeared in a wasteland.

Their school uniforms were changed into black linen clothes, similar to ancient costumes, but with trousers and straw sandals.

As for the player who appeared in front of them as well.

Sword that Pierces Chrysanthemums - The Lonely One - lv1

Cat Encyclopedia - Mr. Pan - lv1

And look at the man called the Lonely One, his body trembled slightly but his gaze was firm, his dead fish eyes with more white showing his accusation against paradise and his resistance against fate.

Unfortunately, the title is too suggestive, and the nickname is too childish. It makes him look like the kind of cannon fodder who runs slower than his teammates in a crisis.

Looking at the woman named Mr. Pan, even in coarse linen clothes, her natural beauty could not be concealed. However, her open chest made people suspect that she was actually from Nanliang.

The title and nickname fully reveal the character's preferences; they are clearly the kind of supporting character who sacrifices themselves in times of crisis to allow the protagonist to unleash their full potential.

"Why can you just pretend to be a narrator and casually comment on others?! Your title, 'Headshot Maniac,' is way more insane than mine! And why am I cannon fodder...?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, nicknamed "The Lonely One," was utterly exasperated by Jolyne's slander.

"Wait a minute, why are you two here?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita, nicknamed Mr. Pan, finally couldn't help but ask her inner complaints.

Yukino Yukinoshita entered the amusement park in a panic, only to find these two standing next to her. Her feelings were quite complicated.

It's like someone who's desperately short of money decides to become a mercenary in a war-torn region, only to find their idiotic friend selling jump shot courses with a frying pan on the battlefield.

Jolyne: "I'd also like to know what you two are doing here!"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "I'd also like to know what you two are doing here!"

The two of them made a sarcastic remark in unison, which made Hachiman Hikigaya laugh and feel much less tense.

"So, this is why you've all left the Service Department?"

Jolyne asked, then thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You guys didn't come up with some kind of chuunibyou idea, thinking that if you die one day after becoming players, it will make the people around you sad, so you cut off contact with the people around you first, right?"

Hachiman Hikigaya blushed; he was the one Jolyne had mentioned who suffered from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, feeling utterly exhausted.

It seems like they were just ordinary people who accidentally came into contact with the amusement park and encountered an easy initial trial, which is why they were laughing and joking like that, unaware of the park's terrifying nature.

"Stop making a fuss. Let's take a look at the identities the park has assigned us, and see what kind of world this is and what kind of mission mode it is."

Yukino, standing beneath the snow, spoke in a cold voice.

The three of them stood on the wasteland and activated the amusement park bracelet.
