Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Moreover, psychology is a separate category, and Shizuka Marikawa is a clinician who at most has some experience in treating external injuries.

After careful consideration, she proposed electroconvulsive therapy, because she had seen it used in mental hospitals in movies.

Then she was pecked around by the scabbard crow named Ginko next to the Mist Pillar...

Forced by a poor doctor-patient relationship, Shizuka Marikawa changed her treatment plan.

Electroconvulsive therapy has become a way to communicate and interact with more people.

It's practically a universal formula for treating any disease.

Upon hearing the news of Jolyne's return, Shizuka Marikawa wanted to slack off and leave, but Shinobu Kocho told her that Jolyne would be attending a meeting first.

Shizuka Marikawa could only wait there for Jolyne to finish her business, her longing growing stronger as she sat in a daze.

"I really want to go find Jolyne."

"Shizuka."

Hearing her voice calling, Shizuka Marikawa snapped out of her daze and turned to see Saeko Busujima, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Saeko Busujima entered the Butterfly Mansion and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Shizuka Marikawa was unharmed.

Although she knew it was unlikely that anything bad would happen, Shizuka Marikawa's personality still worried her a lot. She always felt that she could be tricked if she wasn't careful, which is why she came to find her as soon as possible.

"But, given Shizuka Marikawa's personality, shouldn't she be hugging me now?"

Saeko Busujima was somewhat confused.

At this moment, Shizuka Marikawa felt guilty, her eyes darting around, and she dared not look directly at Saeko Busujima.

This made Saeko Busujima even more puzzled, and she quickly stepped forward and asked seriously, "What happened?"

"Nothing happened. Saeko, would you like to learn some swordsmanship here? I can introduce you to a swordsman..."

Feeling increasingly guilty, Shizuka Marikawa just wanted to distract Saeko Busujima.

However, since her purpose was too deliberate, Saeko Busujima reluctantly moved her in front of her.

Noticing that Shizuka Marikawa was trying to hide her hand, they quickly arrested her, only to find several obvious red marks on her wrist.

This instantly worsened Saeko Busujima's mood, and she realized something was wrong just as she was about to question him.

If she had been bullied, given Shizuka Marikawa's personality, she would have already rushed into her arms and loudly denounced the other person's evil deeds, instead of acting so evasive.

He carefully examined Shizuka Marikawa from head to toe. She had an alluring figure and fair skin, and was even more exquisite and beautiful than when she was in the main city of Tokio.

It's just that her temperament has changed somewhat; she seems to have more maternal qualities than before?

Saeko Busujima seemed to realize something, and her aura grew increasingly cold.

Like an ostrich facing danger, Shizuka Marikawa huddled trembling in Saeko Busujima's arms, too afraid to look up.

……

The ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps had begun to evacuate Mount Natagumo. Since there was still some time before nightfall, Jolyne, having nothing else to do, decided to return to the cabin to recuperate.

Unfortunately, whenever Jolyne felt she could finally have some peace and quiet, new troubles would always come knocking.

"Yukinoshita? What are you doing here?"

Jolyne looked at her strangely. He thought it would be Saeko Busujima or Shizuka Marikawa, but he didn't expect it to be Yukino Yukinoshita who knocked on the door.

What's this guy doing here?

Yukino looked around the room to make sure no one was there before closing the door.

Looking at Jolyne, she replied in a calm tone, "Didn't you say there was another condition?"

Jolyne's expression was strange. She hadn't expected Yukino Yukinoshita to take a joke seriously. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that Yukino was wearing a brand-new Demon Slayer Corps uniform and looked like she had taken a bath before coming, exuding a floral fragrance.

Feeling a little shy under Jolyne's gaze, she immediately became fearless when she thought about how she had already embarrassed herself three times in front of Jolyne.

She casually sat down, untied her hair tie, and her still-damp black hair fell down her back, revealing her two lively cat ears.

"let's start."

"Then I'll get started."

Jolyne carefully placed her palm on it, gently feeling the texture of the cat ears.

It has to be said that cat ears really need to be paired with a cute face to really evoke desire.

Yukino Yukinoshita's face is indeed as cute as she herself said, and even her flat chest is a plus at this point.

Jolyne quickly satisfied her curiosity.

Whether it's a catgirl or a foxgirl, they are all beings that Jolyne has loved since her past life.

At this moment, on the other side of the village.

Because she suddenly remembered that Jolyne hadn't eaten since she was busy last night, Kanroji Mitsuri carried the freshly made sakura mochi, intending to take it with her to enjoy with Jolyne.

"Glutinous rice flour, sweet red bean paste, and cherry blossom leaves—Mr. Jolyne should like it."

This is Kanroji Mitsuri's favorite food, and even her cherry-pink hair comes from cherry-mochi.

Kanroji Mitsuri's hair was originally jet black and shiny, but after she ate 170 sakura mochi every day for eight consecutive months, it inexplicably turned into this color.

As she approached, Mitsuri Kanroji hesitated about how to greet Jolyne.

"Mr. Jolyne, I made sakura mochi for you, let's eat together!"

It seemed a bit too shy, so Kanroji blushed and rejected the idea.

"Mr. Jolyne, I just made some sakura mochi. Would you like to have some with me?"

However, she felt that her words were not quite enough to express her feelings, and she was quite troubled about how to say them.

Just then, she saw Yukino Yukinoshita run out of Jolyne's house in a panic, which made Mitsuri Kanroji blink and her brain short-circuit.

Before she could react, Saeko Busujima suddenly appeared and entered the house from another direction.

Ganluji Mili: "..."

Jolyne remained silent, and Yukino Yukinoshita was also silent; he truly did not know that this equipment was connected to her senses.

The door was pushed open again, and Saeko Busujima entered.

Before Jolyne could speak, Saeko Busujima had already opened her arms.

"what happens?"

After embracing for a long time, Jolyne asked her something strange.

Saeko Busujima gave a soft snort, pressed her face against his again, and said in a flat tone, "I already know about Shizuka Marikawa's escape."

This made Jolyne's expression freeze.

Saeko Busujima's tone was normal, but he inexplicably sensed a danger.

The next moment, Saeko Busujima untied her hair tie, revealing her unique purple hair, which shone brilliantly.

Chapter 83 The Arrival of Tsuji Muzan

The Demon Slayer Corps had prepared several escape plans in advance, so even with a sudden evacuation, the process was orderly and did not cause too much chaos.

To prevent Muzan Kibutsuji from being unable to find him, Yushiro has already shut down the Blood Demon Art, but he is still somewhat worried about Tamayo's safety, since she is now just an ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Jolyne was giving the remaining men pre-battle ideological guidance.

The main content is about the abilities and personality traits of the Upper Moons, and it solemnly reminds them that as long as they hold off the Upper Moons, they can handle the rest themselves.

After all, non-players won't get a treasure chest if they kill an Upper Moon. Although these four Pillars don't even have a three-piece set, Jolyne still needs to prevent them from suddenly going berserk and killing an Upper Moon.

There's no need to worry about the Flame Pillar, Water Pillar, or Wind Pillar. Although she wanted to help as much as possible, she agreed to Jolyne's arrangement at his insistence.

The most difficult one to deal with is the Insect Pillar, Shinobu Kocho. She seems to always have a smile on her face, but she has the biggest psychological problem among all the Pillars.

That was hatred for Doma, the Upper Moon Two, who was a pervert who only ate women and had even killed Shinobu Kocho's sister.

Because of insufficient power, Shinobu Kocho kept injecting wisteria flower toxin into her body, trying to create an opportunity to kill Doma with her own life.

That's right, the kind where you let yourself be eaten.

Jolyne glanced at her condition and comforted her, saying, "Don't give up your life so easily. Doma is nothing; I will kill him with my own hands."

Faced with Jolyne's pointed reminder, Shinobu Kocho's ever-present fake smile vanished.

"Although Mr. Jolyne is very strong, I also want to do my part in killing the demons. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, so please don't worry about me."

Seeing this, Jolyne did not offer any further advice, but instead summoned Sanemi Shinazugawa and pointed at Shinobu Kocho, saying, "Keep an eye on her, lest she be killed by Doma."

Shinobu Kocho's older sister is someone Sanemi Shinazugawa likes, so he won't watch Shinobu go to her death.

Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had been summoned, was completely bewildered, wondering how Jolyne knew about the relationship. He remembered that he had a crush on Shinobu Kocho's sister, didn't he?

Unexpectedly, that situation arose. Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat hesitant to face Jolyne, but she ultimately suppressed her emotions and came to listen to Jolyne's arrangements.

Kanroji Mitsuri glanced absentmindedly at Jolyne from the side, her Nichirin Blade already modified.

Equipment - Weaving Love

Description: This is a soft sword made of the spider silk of the Lower Moon Five, but he seems to have already understood what true emotion is.

Effects: Extended, sturdy, sharp, sunlight, and a hint of heart-fluttering feeling from being slashed.

Bonuses: Strength +1, Agility +1, Charisma +1

Conditions of use: None

I picked it up and glanced at it; it looked exactly the same as I remembered.

Jolyne was very curious about how Lower Moon Five, Gunzou Tessakusen, could sense Mitsuri Kanroji's feelings through the weapon he modified.

Putting her worries aside, Mitsuri Kanroji sincerely advised, "Mr. Jolyne, please be careful."

"Don't worry, it will be over soon."

……

In the end, only Hachiman Hikigaya remained.

Why are you bringing such a strange thing with you?

Hachiman Hikigaya, seeing Jolyne's philosophically-inspired wig, asked with a sarcastic tone.

"To ensure things go as I wish, I need a bit of luck."

The more meticulous the plan, the more luck is needed; otherwise, even a slight deviation can cause everything to develop in an unpredictable direction.

"Lucky?"

Hachiman Hikigaya felt a bit of toothache, and sweat kept seeping from his pores. He secretly reached out and pulled the clothes that were stuck between his buttocks out.

But then Jolyne's voice came from beside her: "Are you scared?"

An inexplicable sense of shame brought him to a standstill; he remained in that position, his face contorted in pain.

Jolyne reached out and helped him pull up his pants, calmly watching the setting sun.

“Fear is not shameful, Hachiman.”

"Weakness is what matters."

"Whether passively or actively, those without power will eventually be coerced by others, just like how I can make you work for me with just one upper string."

"However, there are two kinds of weakness: one is being weak now, and the other is being weak forever. The former will actively join in to find opportunities, while the latter will only become a synonym for destructive power in the battles of the strong by constantly running away."

Turning around, Jolyne patted him on the shoulder.

"Hachiman, you are a smart person, and I believe you will eventually become a strong person."

Before Hachiman Hikigaya could recover, Jolyne had already left with Jorogumo in her arms.

Looking at Jolyne's broad back, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a sense of security for no apparent reason, and took a deep breath to clear his mind of all distractions.

……

Time passed slowly, and Jolyne sat calmly inside the house, waiting for Muzan Kibutsuji to arrive.

Teruya Ubuyashiki originally wanted to stay, but Jolyne refused.

As the sun set, Mount Natagumo fell silent.
