Zongman: Evolution Paradise

There was no whispering spider in the photo; he was still in the pose of taking out a sandwich.

I glanced silently at the sandwich in my hand. The black spider inside had stopped struggling and was mixed with the salad dressing, like a piece of seaweed crisps.

Unfortunately, the glove on his right hand had disappeared, telling him that what he had just experienced was not a nightmare during a nap.

"Was I just pulled into a dream like that?"

"The Ghost Stories Association?"

"They seem to be quite strong."

Lloyd didn't deal with Hiroki Harada anymore. Instead, he got out of the car and went back to the convenience store to buy another sandwich.

Meeting the cashier's surprised gaze, Lloyd took out his wallet but paused for a moment, then gave the cashier a polite smile and asked, "Excuse me, can I pay by bank card here?"

His cash also disappeared.

-

"what is this?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned over and removed the spider from Jolyne's ear, flicking it away. She asked curiously, "The spider was crawling all over you, didn't you feel it? You're such a worry."

"The way you catch a spider with your bare hands is a bit too unladylike."

Xu Lun rubbed his temples, feeling as if he were watching TV while eating.

"Huh? You have a problem with that?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka made no attempt to salvage her image in front of Jolyne, or rather, her image had long since been completely destroyed.

Kirisu Mafuyu was already asleep with her head on Hiratsuka Shizuka's lap. She'll probably sober up when she wakes up.

Since the drunk Kirisu Mafuyu was no longer able to drive, Hiratsuka Shizuka carried her to the back seat of the car.

I plan to leave Kirisu Mafuyu's car here temporarily, and take Hiratsuka Shizuka's car back to school first. Kirisu Mafuyu will come and pick up the car after she sobers up.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jolyne glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka's excellent curves restrained by the seatbelt and said with a smile, "Shizuka, if it really doesn't work out, then don't go on blind dates. I'll just accompany you in the future."

"Are you kidding me? I treat you like a brother, and you actually want to date me?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka replied with a laugh and a scolding tone.

Glancing at Kirisu Mafuyu in the rearview mirror, he continued to threaten Jolyne, saying, "And Mafuyu too. If you dare to seduce my Mafuyu, you can expect to be sunk in Tokyo Bay."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's family has some yakuza connections, which may be one of the reasons why she always fails at blind dates.

Xu Lun reminded her expressionlessly, "If you wait a few more years, be careful that the men you go on blind dates with end up as divorced, balding middle-aged men with kids."

"The problem is that my blind date today was already like this, and he actually complained that I didn't look like a family person! He also said stupid things like I wouldn't have any fertility problems since I haven't been in a relationship for so long!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka, with a ferocious expression, uttered some appalling words.

Jolyne immediately looked away, sensing that she would realize what he had just said and frantically demand that he forget it.

However, Jolyne's prediction was wrong this time; Hiratsuka Shizuka simply continued driving quietly.

Licking her dry lips, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a pang of longing for the cigarettes she had given up because of Jolyne.

Chapter 106 Hui's Calm

Jolyne rushed back just before class was about to start in the afternoon. Kato Megumi put down her pen and paper, turned around and told Jolyne, "Someone came looking for you this morning."

"Who is it?" Jolyne asked.

Kato Megumi counted on her fingers, listing them one by one in a calm voice.

"Eri Sawamura, Mahiru Shiina, Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, these are the girls."

Kato Megumi's presence allowed her to see the entire process from the sidelines.

After listing them, Kato Megumi even exclaimed in a pretentious tone, "Except for Yui Yuigahama, the others are all top-ranked campus beauties at Sobu University."

"I really feel sorry for Yui Yuigahama, but what's with this 'school beauty' ranking? Does Soubu University even have such a ranking?" Jolyne avoided Kato Megumi's gaze, took a pink hat out of her bag, and handed it to her as a bribe.

"It was a strange student named Aki Tomoya who arranged this, followed by the angel Shiina Mahiru, the ice queen Yukinoshita Yukinoshita, the flame queen Miura Yumiko, the blonde fairy Sawamura Eriri, and the perfect upperclassman Kasumigaoka Utaha..."

"However, because of the ranking issue, he was reportedly beaten by dissatisfied students later."

Kato Megumi took the hat and glanced at it. It was very cute, and it was handmade, so it didn't look cheap.

"What a ridiculously cheesy title! But who's number one on that list?"

Jolyne asked curiously.

Each of them is a unique and beautiful girl, no wonder they were attacked because of the ranking issue.

Kato Megumi gave the answer, "It's the angel, and Aki Tomoya's reason is that Shiina Mahiru has the purest feeling of anime."

Kato Megumi returned the hat to Jolyne and calmly asked, "It looks very cute. Who does Jolyne want to give it to?"

"This is for you, to thank Hui for her generous help when I was in a difficult situation."

Jolyne helped Kato Megumi put on the pink hat, which looked adorable with her bob haircut; it's no wonder he has such great taste.

Kato Megumi thought about it carefully before she remembered it.

At the time, I was a freshman in college, and Jorin borrowed money from Megumi Kato to pay my first month's rent in Chiba.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Kato Megumi took off her hat and put it in her desk drawer, though she figured there wouldn't be any problem with her wearing it during class given her presence.

The afternoon class was taught by the math teacher, but today's class was a little different; he brought in a girl he had never seen before.

Megumi Kato nudged Jolyne, who was getting ready to sleep, and whispered, "It seems like there are students who changed majors."

"A student who changed majors?"

Xu Lun glanced at her; she was wearing the school uniform of Zongwu University, paired with black tights, headphones around her neck, and her slightly long hair covering her right eye.

"It looks great, doesn't it?"

"It's really good."

Jolyne nodded, glancing at the headphones and guessing it was a certain division.

Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of her classmates, she wrote the name "Nakano Miku" on the blackboard.

Then he just stood there, without going on to introduce himself.

The math teacher didn't pay much attention to this eccentricity; such a level was nothing special among the students at Zongwu University. He began scanning the classroom to find a place for her to sit down.

Finally, he locked onto Jolyne and said, "Nakano-kun, could you please sit next to Jolyne, the tallest one in the class?"

Kato Megumi listened expressionlessly, while Jolyne helplessly raised her hand to remind her, "Teacher, there's already someone next to me."

The math teacher then awkwardly searched for another spot for Nakano Miku, wiping his sweat and muttering to himself, "That's strange, I didn't notice anyone there just now."

After going around in circles, Nakano Miku ended up near Jolyne, since that was the only place with available seats.

Having transferred schools again, the somewhat timid Nakano Miku intended to listen attentively in class, but as the math teacher continued to recite definitions and symbols, her expression became increasingly confused.

If a top student's reaction to a teacher's lecture is "What's your next sentence?!", then Nakano Miku's reaction would be "What was your previous sentence??".

Just like at her previous school, Nakano Miku learned nothing.

I wanted to see how the other students reacted, to see if the math teacher was teaching something too advanced for their level.

Then she saw Jolyne, who was already asleep beside her.

The math teacher continued teaching, showing no intention of intervening.

"Is he a delinquent, a bad student?"

"You must study hard and not end up like this person."

With this thought in mind, Nakano Miku patted her face and listened to the lesson with a determined look in her eyes...

When school was over in the afternoon, Kato Keisai gently nudged Jolyne, saying, "School's out."

Xu Lun stretched out his body. As expected of a math teacher, he was indeed more skilled at hypnosis than teachers of other subjects.

Almost everyone in the class had left. Jolyne glanced at Nakano Miku, who had just arrived. She was lying on her side on the table, asleep, with her headphones on, completely unaware of the noise around her.

"He slept in class on his very first day at the new school. No wonder his grades are so bad."

Jolyne bid farewell to Kato Megumi and headed towards the Service Club. Along the way, she saw the other four members of the Quintessential Quintuplets, who seemed to be searching for Nakano Miku.

According to the original story, the five triplets actually have the same hair color. The hair colors were drawn slightly different to make it easier for the audience to distinguish them and show their characteristics.

What Jolyne is seeing now is the five-part division, which is actually the division with different hair colors.

I don't know what happened, or if they dyed their hair specifically to distinguish each other.

Without much thought, Jolyne walked into the Service Club, sat in her designated spot, and began reading a light novel.

"Hey, you came in without even saying hello?" Yui Yuigahama asked Jolyne, propping her chin on her hand.

She was about to say hello, but Jolyne just walked right past her.

"Why should the minister greet everyone when he returns to his own club? You should be the one respectfully calling me minister, Yuihama Club Member."

Jolyne accepted the black tea offered by Yukino Yukinoshita and asked her a question in return.

"I was worried about you not coming this morning."

Muttering to herself, Yui Yuigahama stood up with a silly grin and, as Jolyne had requested, said in a high-pitched voice, "Good morning, Captain~"

Unfortunately, Jolyne wasn't some naive boy who was just talking big. He took a sip of his black tea and commented, "It would be better if you wore a maid outfit next time."

"what?"

Yui Yuigahama leaned over and complained unhappily, "You actually want a maid outfit?"

"Has your class suddenly gained a transfer student?"

Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly brought up the topic.

"A transfer student suddenly appeared in the class wearing butterfly earrings, and had a conflict with Miura Yumiko. I heard that five transfer students came at once, and they were quintuplets."

He looked at Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita, but what he really wanted to say wasn't that they were transfer students, but whether they were players. After all, quintuplets were still a bit too astonishing.

“There’s one in my class too,” Xu Lun replied.

Yukino Yukinoshita had never met her before, because her class was the International Education Class, which was an advanced class at Soubu University, and she couldn't get in with her quintet grades.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the Service Department.

This was the first time she had encountered someone who would knock on the door. Yukino Yukinoshita sat up straight and called out, "Please come in."

This request is unusual because the person who came in was the school's renowned angel.

Shiina Mahiru pushed open the door, her caramel-colored eyes looking past everyone and staring straight at Jolyne.

"I have a request and I hope to get help here."

Chapter 107 Shiina Mahiru's Request

At this moment, everyone was sitting around the table, listening to Shiina Mahiru's request.

"track!"

Yui Yuigahama gasped in surprise.

Yukino Yukinoshita gave her a helpless look, signaling her not to make a fuss.

Shiina Mahiru sat at the table, not drinking the black tea prepared by Yukino Yukinoshita, and continued to explain, "I'm not quite sure if it's stalking, but lately I always feel like someone is following me, but when I turn my head I don't see anyone at all."

"When did it start?"

Under the snow, I asked Shiina Mahiru.

Shiina Mahiru glanced at Jolyne and said in a low voice, "It started on Monday."

"Even so, it's just a feeling; there's no real way to prove that someone is following you."

Hikigaya Hachiman said.

Shiina Mahiru's sarcastic reply: "That's why I didn't call the police, but came here instead."
