Zongman: Evolution Paradise

She was gentle and soft-spoken with Jolyne, but that doesn't mean she was like that with everyone else.

In reality, Shiina Mahiru has a bit of a mischievous side, but she rarely shows it.

Seeing this, Yui Yuigahama quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Shiina-kun is so cute, maybe she really did encounter some kind of pervert."

Then, patting her chest, she confidently assured them, "The Service Department will definitely protect your safety!"

Yukino Yukinoshita added, "Of course, we can only offer you assistance for a few days. If there are still no results, the Service Club cannot keep wasting time on this matter."

"I know, thank you." Shiina Mahiru said gratefully, while secretly glancing at Jolyne, only to find that he did not show any concern. She couldn't help but lower her eyes again, a sense of disappointment welling up in her heart.

Jolyne simply asked Jorogumo, "Shiina Mahiru lives in the apartment, so she must be one of the people Jorogumo is keeping a close eye on."

Oni King Spider - Jorogumo

1-Ghost King: No longer afraid of sunlight, possessing true Ghost King bloodline, with extremely high potential, currently growing stronger at a rapid pace, and gradually realizing its potential.

2-Infinite: Possesses spatial potential and has locked onto the Infinite City. Within the Infinite City, spatial abilities can be greatly enhanced.

3-Immortal: Before its own energy is completely exhausted, it will not die even if it is beheaded, and its physical injuries will recover at an extremely fast speed.

4-Dreamweaver: Able to roam freely within dreams and weave them together, using spider silk, eye contact, scent, and other mediums to pull creatures into dreams, and destroying their spiritual core can directly kill them.

5-Ghost Body: Physical attributes are greatly enhanced, making the body difficult to damage from guns and cannons, immune to some magic, and able to change the size and shape of the body to a certain extent.

Command 6: Possesses immense power over ghosts and spiders. Can replenish small spiders through active generation, curses, and direct control. Spiders can serve as a medium for the main body, allowing it to utilize most of its abilities.

8-Greedy: Spiders can quickly feed and replenish their energy by spinning their prey into a cocoon...

This is Jorogumo's current health check report in the workshop. Her strength is increasing daily, and she has become the strongest under Jolyne's command.

With just an ordinary spider, twilight is dragged into a dream and kneaded cruelly.

Jorogumo's true abilities go far beyond what was written in the medical report. For example, she devised a way to control little spiders to come to Jolyne's side and transmit information through dreams. Various abilities intertwine to form this modern demon king.

The message came from Jorogumo, but she didn't notice any strange figures around Shiina Mahiru.

This left Jolyne somewhat puzzled about what was going on with Shiina Mahiru.

"Has anything happened recently? Like having a conflict with someone or something?"

Yukino asked her.

Shiina Mahiru shook her head. "I haven't had any unpleasant experiences with anyone at school. Even if someone confesses their feelings, I will politely refuse so as not to embarrass them."

That is indeed the case; otherwise, Shiina Mahiru wouldn't have been revered as an angel by the students of Soubu University. This title is not just a compliment to her appearance.

"Let's resolve it this way. Yui and I will stay with Shiina, while Jolyne and Hikigaya will go look for clues."

After considering it for a while, Yukino Yukinoshita said, "Since it's about tracking, we need to protect Shiina Mahiru on one hand, and find out the reason on the other."

The two grown men were definitely not suitable to follow Shiina Mahiru around, and coincidentally, Yukino Yukinoshita also wanted to test out her new ability.

However, Shiina Mahiru refused and said something that shocked everyone else.

"Could you please help me protect the parts of myself?"

Shiina Mahiru's caramel-colored eyes remained fixed on Jolyne, seeking an answer from him.

Yui Yuigahama glanced at Jolyne and thought to herself: Could this guy have come here specifically to find Jolyne, and even made up this story about stalking her?

Hachiman Hikigaya was relieved. He no longer needed to worry about Jolyne's request; any problems that might arise would likely be resolved quickly.

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly remembered what Jolyne had done in her dream last time, and silently mourned for two seconds for this possible stalker.

"no problem."

Jolyne agreed, and Shiina Mahiru lived with him and attended the same classes. The only time he needed to accompany her was when she went to and from school.

As for going out to have fun, if she could do something like this while being followed, Jolyne should also suspect whether Shiina Mahiru did it on purpose.

Yukino Yukinoshita led the two of them to inquire about Shiina Mahiru's social network and recent experiences.

Jolyne, having nothing to do, went outside to get some fresh air. A card appeared in his hand—the Three of Diamonds from Twilight.

Equipment - Supreme Card - Three of Diamonds

Description: Legend has it that collecting all fifty-two cards will grant you the power to rule the world, and now you've taken the first step.

Effect: Turns any object it touches into a marble; the quality of that object cannot exceed that of the Supreme Card.

Bonus: None

Conditions of use: None

Overall, it's a great collectible, and we can look forward to seeing how it looks after we collect it all.

As for combat, Jolyne already has the Hand of God, so she doesn't seem to have a high need for this equipment.

Chapter 108 Shiina Mahiru Doesn't Want to Admit Defeat

Since school has already ended, the Service Club did not immediately begin the investigation, but plans to start it tomorrow.

Yui Yuigahama was earnestly badmouthing Jolyne to Mahiru Shiina.

"Mahiru, you must be careful of Jolyne. Never be alone with him. Remember, when there is no danger, Jolyne is the greatest danger to you."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but smile. Her beautiful eyes were as captivating as crescent moons. She nodded gently and replied, "Yes, I'll remember."

As expected of the naturally outgoing Yui Yuigahama, she was able to address him by his name so quickly.

Faced with Yui Yuigahama's slander, Jolyne looked directly at Mahiru Shiina and said, "Shiina-kun, let's go home."

Shiina Mahiru glanced at Yuigahama Yui, then walked over to Jolyne with a smile, "Okay."

Goodbye, everyone in the Service Department.

After saying goodbye to them, Shiina Mahiru left with Jolyne, chatting and laughing.

"us?"

Yui Yuigahama looked at the obedient Mahiru Shiina in disbelief, shook the expressionless Yukino Yukinoshita, and exclaimed, "Yukino, are those two going to live together?! What kind of club president would abuse their position for personal gain like that!"

Yukino Yukinoshita said helplessly, "Yuigahama-san, please use your brain for a moment. It's obvious that they know each other."

"Moreover, their relationship is quite special, so we probably shouldn't interfere and disturb their time together."

Hachiman Hikigaya packed his schoolbag and prepared to go home.

"What do you mean?"

Yui Yuigahama's perplexing question proved that she didn't want to use her brain.

"That means we don't need to pay too much attention to the stalker investigation; we can leave it to Jolyne."

Hachiman Hikigaya wasn't worried about Jolyne at all; on the contrary, he was afraid that the possible stalker would die a terrible death.

Yui Yuigahama was unaware of their past with Jolyne and was puzzled by their reactions, asking in bewilderment, "What kind of power could Jolyne possibly have?"

These words reminded Yukino Yukinoshita of some memories of her company's death, and she remained silent for a moment as she looked at the sunset.

"...He's a minister, after all."

-

Jolyne glanced at the message on her phone and asked Shiina Mahiru beside her, "Is there anything you need to do before we go back to the apartment?"

Shiina Mahiru tapped her chin thoughtfully for a moment, "I need to go to the supermarket; we don't have much food left at home."

"The one near the apartment?"

"can."

Compared to chatting on Line, people tend to talk less when they meet in person.

It was alright, though; the atmosphere wasn't awkward.

Walking quietly on campus, students occasionally glanced at her with surprise, wondering why Shiina Mahiru was walking with Jolyne.

Faced with these gazes, Shiina Mahiru not only did not distance herself from Jolyne, but actually moved a little closer.

Shiina Mahiru glanced at Jolyne, but couldn't help asking, "Isn't Jolyne worried at all?"

She did feel like she was being followed, but Shiina Mahiru knew it was just a feeling. She hadn't taken it seriously and didn't plan to ask anyone for help.

At that moment, Shiina Mahiru, the class president, went to Kirisu Mafuyu's office and happened to overhear Hiratsuka Shizuka complaining about the Service Club.

"The Service Department? What kind of strange place is that?"

With this in mind, Shiina Mahiru took the initiative to ask Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Then Hiratsuka Shizuka explained the existence of the Service Club to her and told her that she could seek help from the Service Club if she needed anything...

"A strange club that grants wishes."

"However, Jolyne is also there."

Shiina Mahiru went to the Service Club and told them her request.

During this time, Shiina Mahiru kept observing Jolyne and found that he did not seem to have any particular emotions because of this request.

Somewhat surprised and puzzled, but Shiina Mahiru wanted to see a hint of worry.

"I'm not worried."

Jolyne wasn't worried at all. Putting aside whether the stalker that Jorogumo hadn't even noticed actually existed, even if he did, Chiba could run away if he couldn't beat him.

They even dare to stalk Shiina Mahiru. What will happen if this pervert sees the other people in the apartment one day?

If all else fails, go and seek refuge with that Kanoko. Buna seems to be doing quite well there. In the footage sent by Jorogumo, it is quietly sitting in the aviary and being watched. I heard that it is even planning to run for the zoo's cutest animal.

Shiina Mahiru looked at the ground, then suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked, "Is it because Jolyne believes she can protect me?"

Under the expectant gaze of Shiina Mahiru, Jolyne answered her.

"That's right..."

There's a medium-sized supermarket near the apartment, which supposedly offers a limited number of half-price bento boxes every night, but Jolyne doesn't need them right now.

After helping Shiina Mahiru take the items down from the top shelf, Jolyne noticed that the mall was selling cream puffs today.

The cream puffs were quite large and looked very tempting, packaged in a white cardboard box.

This is likely the main selling point here, and it usually sells out very quickly.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Lun bought a few more boxes.

"Don't you not eat sweets?"

"Bought for the other members of my family."

Shiina Mahiru didn't ask any further questions. Of course, she knew that there were suddenly many more people in the apartment, and Busujima Saeko had even brought two other people to knock on the door and deliver gifts.

Holding the dessert, Shiina Mahiru felt a pang of sadness. To be defeated before even starting the attack was just too dizzying.

Moreover, Saeko Busujima, Shizuka Marikawa, and Mitsuri Kanroji are all the kind of beautiful and cute girls who stand out from the crowd at first glance.

With the same excellent figure, Shiina Mahiru glanced at herself and wondered if Jolyne might not like petite types.

So Shiina Mahiru struggled with her thoughts for two days straight, until Monday when she started to feel like she was being watched.

"Let's go."

Jolyne took the groceries from Shiina Mahiru and walked towards the cashier.

Then, they saw Mrs. Yukino working.

Yukino Fuyuki, wearing a uniform with a distinctive store logo, rubbed her arms wearily.

Noticing Jolyne approaching, she immediately froze, turning her face away from Jolyne as if expressing her accusation in this way.

Shiina Mahiru asked curiously, "Do you have some kind of conflict with Mrs. Yukino?"

"should not."

Jolyne thought for a moment, wondering if it would be okay to try filling her with the effects of the Yin Luo Robe.

As for what Jorogumo did to her, Jolyne had no idea.

With a humiliated expression, Yukino Fuyutsu paid the bill for Jolyne, but anger welled up inside her, and she didn't add any points to Jolyne's membership.

As Jolyne left, Yukino Fuyuki breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing the truck full of goods belonging to the following customers, a sense of grievance inexplicably arose.
