Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Just as the tourists were enjoying feeding the deer, Kanoko suddenly pounced on them with her eyes shining and took a bite of the deer cracker that the woman was holding in her other hand.

This action not only stunned the woman, but also Jolyne and the others.

"What is that deer doing? It's biting!"

"hungry……"

"What's going on here? They're actually selling deer crackers and eating them themselves."

The panicked woman flung Kanoko away, sending her flying in an arc as she landed in the deer exhibit area.

"This is...too crazy."

Jolyne would rather go back to Paradise and continue fighting than stay here and see Kanoko.

Fortunately, the deer parade started soon, and after accompanying Kanroji Mitsuri on this trip, I could go back to my apartment and relax.

As the sun gradually sets, the orange and red sunset colors intertwine, painting the sky into a magnificent and colorful picture.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the zoo in a warm, golden light.

It wasn't an illusion; every deer was radiating a golden light, and the one in the lead was none other than Kanoko, who sat atop the head deer's back.

If you ignore the previous actions, the golden-glowing Kanoko has a certain degree of holiness.

Jolyne stood in the crowd, watching the deer herds converge from all directions into a golden torrent.

Mitsuri Kanroji leaned closer to Jolyne, her face flushed. "The admission guide says that if someone is chosen by a deer to participate in a deer parade, they will be blessed with lifelong happiness."

"Huh?" Tiger watched from the side and realized that the relationship between the two was a little unusual. He quietly moved aside to avoid any potential drama that might hurt him, as he had never even had a boyfriend before.

"How come that kindergarten admission booklet has everything?"

Jolyne remembered that this was included with the ticket.

Just as the parade was about to begin, several deer broke away from the herd, their intelligent eyes fixed on the three of them, and began to walk towards them.

Amidst the envious glances of the tourists, the tiger lifted the flustered cub and carried it back to the herd.

Jolyne and Mitsuri tried to move the deer, but they couldn't budge them. The two deer looked up in confusion, watching the herd of deer about to disappear into the distance, appearing somewhat anxious.

Mitsuri Kanroji, standing to the side, was eager to try, looking at Jolyne expectantly: "We've been chosen! Do you want to participate?"

“Of course.” Since she already knew about Kanoko’s existence, Jolyne readily accepted Kanoko’s invitation.

Amidst the admiring gazes from both sides of the road, the deer, carrying Jolyne and Mitsuri Kanroji, quickly caught up with the herd.

They kept overtaking one after another, only stopping when they reached a position second only to the leader.

Still wearing her Hino University uniform, Kanoko crossed her arms, her body now resembling a chibi version, her features forming an expression full of wisdom.

With wide eyes, a flat nose, and drooling, even an idiot shelter would mistake him for an escaped patient.

"A tiger eyeing carbon, a gecko man, and a woman exuding estrus bubbles—the person chosen by the deer will find lifelong happiness."

"real or fake?"

"I don't know, it's written in the park admission guide."

Sure enough, it's still that weird Kanoko.

Jolyne focused on parading alongside Mitsuri Kanroji. Riding the deer felt quite nice; the fur was soft and the ride wasn't bumpy.

"How could a deer say something like 'estrus bubbles'?" Kanroji Mitsuri felt a little embarrassed by what was said, but the embarrassment quickly dissipated in the joy of the parade.

Jolyne responded to Mitsuri Kanroji in twos and threes, thinking that today was magical enough, until a deer with unusual antlers walked up to her.

A pink hat with a white cross drawn on the front.

There are marshmallows ahead.

"Marshmallows? Where are they? Where are they?"

Upon hearing the keyword, the deer, worth 100 yen, looked around, trying to find a cotton candy that was even more expensive than itself.

Jolyne stared blankly ahead; this world had, after all, gone a little too far insane…

Chapter 96 A Peaceful Day

[This chapter has been ordered to be revised. Please excuse any awkward phrasing.]

"Good morning~"

Mitsuri Kanroji sent a heartfelt greeting, but received no response from Jolyne.

Jolyne was already awake, but he chose not to open his eyes.

With so much happening lately, I finally have nothing to do today and can enjoy the morning in the main world. I have to sleep in on Sundays, but it doesn't really count as sleeping in. I didn't sleep well at all last night because I was helping Kanroji Mitsuri optimize Love Breathing.

Hmm... tactics like wavering in relationships have become the Thirty-Six Strategies of Love.

During the research process, it was worth exploring why Kanroji Mitsuri, whose muscle density was eight times that of an average person, still possessed such incredible flexibility.

Mitsuri Kanroji's immense strength, voracious appetite, and cherry blossom pink hair—labels that drew criticism in the Demon Slayer world—become exceptionally endearing in Jolyne's presence. Mitsuri Kanroji has found her one and only.

"Mr. Xu Lun?"

Sitting by the bed observing Jolyne, and seeing that he showed no sign of waking up, Kanroji Mitsuri blushed as she recalled what had happened the night before. She remembered that her mother had taught her about this.

The message reads, "Miri, you have a naturally strong constitution, so you should be careful not to overdo it."

"Could it really be my fault?" Kanroji Mitsuri lowered her head in confusion, playfully scratching Jolyne's cheek with the tip of her grass-green hair. She quickly came up with a satisfactory decision, "I'll just call a halt on the third or fourth time from now on."

Suddenly, everything spun around her, and Kanroji Mitsuri fell backward onto the bed. Her big, bright eyes reflected Jolyne's somewhat confused expression. Then, she puffed out her cheeks and realized she was pretending to be asleep.

The price she paid was a pink sundress and white stockings that she had just changed into after getting up.

When Jolyne came out of the room, she saw Saeko Busujima dressed in casual clothes, sitting in a duck-like position in the living room, with a purple knife in front of her, which matched Jolyne's ethereal appearance.

This is a sword she forged using her own blood and bones after obtaining Kokushibo's Blood Demon Technique.

If Li Jing's wife had also mastered this skill, she probably wouldn't have allowed Lingzhu to be reincarnated and spend her days plotting to kill her father and prove her Dao.

Saeko Busujima gave Jolyne a reproachful look, then got up and headed towards the kitchen.

"Do you want porridge or ramen? Go take a shower first, and you can eat when you come out."

"Porridge will do."

After throwing Sadako out of the bathroom, Jolyne finally lay down in the bathtub. It's so nice to have a big room; in her previous single apartment, Jolyne could only use the shower, and if she wanted to take a bath, she had to go to a public bathhouse.

Yesterday, Saeko arranged for a renovation team, and with the help of Jorogumo's abilities, although the outside still looks like a dilapidated apartment, the inside has been completely transformed, basically a redesign.

The cost of savings is also enormous, especially since Japan has a property tax, particularly for properties like Jolyne that exceed a certain size.

After getting involved with Yukino, Jolyne even gave her some gold to make it easy for her to cash out.

However, according to her, based on some of the rules for players, Yukinoshita cannot get too involved in this matter, after all, Yukinoshita is just a local lord in Chiba.

On weekdays, there are rent payments from four tenants, and Jorogumo's little spider goes out to collect money.

A year and a half should be enough, anyway. After that, Jolyne's strength will probably be enough to ask the Black Organization for some money...

Chapter 97 Yukino in Deep Winter

While taking a bath, Jolyne was scrolling through her phone; her LINE account was already filled with a lot of messages.

Shiina Mahiru: I heard from the landlady that you own the apartment? (Confused - JPG)

Jolyne: That's right.

Shiina Mahiru: Could Jolyne be some rich young master who suddenly inherited the family business? Completely baffled. (JPG)

Shiina Mahiru: Do I have to pay the rent again this month?

Jolyne: No need, I'll ask Ms. Aso for this month's rent.

Shiina Mahiru: If that happens, Ms. Aso will cry.

……

Kirisu Mafuyu: No answer to the phone...

Kirisu Mafuyu: No answer to the phone...

Kirisu Mafuyu: No answer to the phone...

Kirisu Mafuyu: Even outside of school, Jolyne shouldn't act like this.

Kirisu Mafuyu: Where did you go? I saw a strange person coming out of your room.

Kirisu Mafuyu: I need to talk to you.

Kirisu Mafuyu: I need to talk to you urgently.

Kirisu Mafuyu: I won't call your name next time we're in class.

Kirisu Mafuyu: Please. (Humiliation - JPG)

"Does Mafuyu need something from me?" Jolyne scrolled through the messages curiously, preparing to go next door after dinner. Given Mafuyu's social connections, she should be at home lying down at this time.

Scrolling down, Jolyne was surprised to find that Kato Megumi had also sent him a message; normally, they would only talk to each other at school.

Megumi Kato: I was at yesterday's deer parade! Jolyne seemed to be having a lot of fun. (Photo: JPG)

After the photo is opened, it shows Jolyne trying to switch to Chopper, a terrified deer, Mitsuri Kanroji trying to dissuade her, and Tiger still sporting his ahoge and making non-stop comments.

Whether it's the composition or the lighting, Megumi Kato has taken a flawless photograph.

"Great shot, it's mine."

After typing it out, I sent it. The rest of the messages were more casual.

Guan Gu Shenqi sent a farewell message; he had decided to go to mainland China to fulfill his dream of becoming a cartoonist.

Tiger-Eyes finally remembered the pure white bowl that Tiger-Eyes had been eyeing, and sought Jolyne's help to find it.

There were even party invitations from junior high school friends...

After replying to each message, Jolyne dried herself off, changed her clothes, and left the bathroom.

Sitting at the table, Jolyne asked curiously, "Where did Shizuka go?"

"She's still asleep." Saeko Busujima explained helplessly, "She stayed up very late watching too many TV dramas that she hadn't seen before."

"I hope she doesn't lead Mitsuri astray," Jolyne remarked.

The internet has brought convenience and entertainment, but it has also dealt a blow to the pure innocence of childhood.

I can't even imagine what it would be like if Mitsuri encountered online trolls; she'd probably be crying and sobbing in Jolyne's arms.

After finishing her meal, Jolyne went out and arrived at the entrance of room 201.

Dong dong dong

There was no response, so Jolyne took out her phone and sent a message to Mafuyu Kirisu.

"Little Mafuyu, open the door quickly."

The LINE receiver tone sounded from across the door, and Kirisu Mafuyu hurriedly opened the door, but only peeked out, looking around nervously.

Seeing no one else, Kirisu Mafuyu quickly pulled Jolyne inside.

The room was so crowded that there was nowhere to step; it was filled with garbage bags of all sizes and instant noodle boxes.

Jolyne probably knew why Kirisu Mafuyu had asked him to come. Ever since he moved in and stumbled upon Kirisu Mafuyu's room, he had taken on a part-time job: providing her with housekeeping and cleaning services once a week.

Today is Sunday, and it's time for our appointment.

Kirisu Mafuyu said with a serious expression, "My sister is coming to my apartment, Jolyne, I need you."

"But I don't need this part-time job anymore."

Jolyne's answer was like a bolt from the blue for Kirisu Mafuyu.

Thinking of her younger sister who would be arriving soon, Kirisu Mafuyu felt dizzy and was about to collapse.
