The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

Is it really possible that an outsider knows his own world better than the locals? And rubies, emeralds, vermilion... what are these?

Doctor [By the way, Sirona, do you know Xiaozhi from Pallet Town? ]

Sirona【Never heard of it.】

Doctor [Who is the champion of Kanto? ]

Sirona【Red.】

Professor [Wow! A special episode?! Wait, let me confirm, how many grandchildren does Professor Oak have?]

Shirona [Two, one is the champion of Johto, Green, and the other is Oki Shigeru, who just reached traveling age this year.]

"I get it! A mishmash, the most common worldview in fan fiction. This year in Pallet Town, Shirona, a child named Satoshi will embark on a journey. If nothing goes wrong, he'll become the protagonist of your world. After only a 'year' of travel, he'll compete in the Eight Masters Tournament as the Alola Champion, becoming the champion and the world's strongest. But since Red is also involved, that's a little uncertain."

Sirona [Ah?!]

Shirona was stunned. A year of travel? Eight Masters Champion? What kind of god was this? Even more outrageous than that kid, Red! Clearly, Red lost to Dan Di the first time he won the Kanto Championship. How could this kid named Xiaozhi sweep all the major championships in just one year?

Sirona is emo!

Chapter 89: Progress

After the battle, there should have been a celebration banquet, but unfortunately, Koya, who was already completely exhausted, was carsick, so the three of them had no choice but to find a presidential suite in a random hotel in the city to sleep in. Koya slept very restlessly that night. The strong man in his dream seemed quite dissatisfied with Koya's performance in the battle with the Corpse King. He clapped his hands and the Corpse King appeared beside him.

"The craftsmanship is too crude!"

This was the first time Koya heard the strong man in his dream speak. His voice was as loud as thunder and as majestic as a lion's roar. Koya felt that the man in front of him must have practiced the lion roar skill from Yan Country's novels, otherwise how could his normal voice be so loud!

"So you can talk!!"

The strong man kept silent again. He just waved his hand and let the corpse king beside him rush up and slap Koya twice. Koya's head was directly slapped crooked. There was no need to think too much, he died in his dream again.

"You have a weapon sharper than his, and a body more flexible than his, yet you fight so ugly!"

For some reason, Koya felt the burly man before him was far more serious today than usual. Even in his dreams, he'd been so quiet, charging at him and hammering him like crazy. Koya knew full well that the duration of his Brilliant Dragon Transformation had soared from a few minutes to half an hour, likely due to him getting hit so often. But today, he wasn't just beating Koya up; he was also breaking down his moves and teaching him how to counter them.

Before the dream ended, the sturdy man personally demonstrated how, with Koya's normal physical condition, he could kill the corpse king with his bare hands in just five minutes. Koya looked at the sturdy man as if he were looking at a god. He knew that this "master" in the dream was powerful, but he had never expected him to be so strong!

"Koya, why do you look even more listless than yesterday?"

Seeing Koya slumped in bed, Kirisu Mafuyu felt an indescribable pang of heartache. Last night, she had placed several large ice cubes in Koya's room, hoping he would sleep more comfortably. Now, looking at his appearance, could he be ill? Was it her fault?

"Hahaha, it's okay. I just didn't sleep well last night. I fought with that corpse king a few more times in my dream and was beaten to death by it several times."

Koya was still feeling quite cheerful. He gained a lot from last night's training. It was no exaggeration to say that if he faced the Corpse King again, he could easily kill him without even using the Brilliant Dragon Transformation. As for killing the Corpse King with his bare hands like the strong man in his dream, he still had a long way to go!

Koya's current fatigue is actually the mental fatigue caused by taking in too much knowledge at one time. His body has actually almost recovered.

"Where's Daisy?"

"She went looking for a drivable car. She left the previous one in the south. If we want to go back, we need to find a drivable car."

Kirisu Madoka turned over on the bed, put Koya's head on her thighs, and gently pressed his temples.

"Rest for a while. I'll wake you up when Daisy comes back."

"it is good."

This time, there was no strong man in Keya's dream. He came to a paradise with birds singing and flowers blooming. There was no one here, only the comfort and tranquility of nature. He found a piece of grass and sat down casually against a big tree. He closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep in his dream.

Outside the dream, Kirisu Madoka condensed a fan made of ice and gently fanned it for Koya. The cool breeze soothed the summer heat and allowed Koya to have a good dream.

"Great! Then the first strategy conference is officially open!"

In the hall of the shelter, the girls gathered. The purpose of their meeting wasn't to discuss how to build the shelter or develop the settlement, but rather a topic a million times more important: how to make Koya like Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai. Currently, the favorability system progressed as Mashiro and Mafuyu had reached Stage 2, Chika Fujiwara was close to reaching Stage 2, and Hina Daisy was approaching it. However, Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya hadn't even received their Stage 1 rewards!

You should know that invitations are time-limited. Koya only has three days left here, including today, and the shelter's crystal core reserves aren't enough to buy a second one. As for the zombie daisies that were burned, they were inspected today and found no crystal cores left. My initial guess is that these crystal cores, which can be used as fuel, are likely flammable, and yesterday's fire burned them all.

So, getting Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya the rewards for the first stage is the top priority! It's still unknown when Koya will return to this world. The chat group is full of eager older sisters, and the professor and Himeko have already prepared the money.

"First of all, we need to confirm why Koya, a carnivorous boy, is not interested in Kaguya-chan and Ai-chan!"

The master and servant, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, looked at Chika Fujiwara with the same eyes, as if they were looking at a pile of irrecyclable garbage. When they looked at the two big bumps on Chika Fujiwara's chest that were rising and falling because of her jumping around, their eyes became even sharper.

"Could it be that Auntie and Xiao Ai always have such cold faces that Mr. Koya doesn't like them?"

"Don't use seniority to attack me at this time, you loser princess!"

"What loser! Who are you calling a loser? You're the loser!"

The word "loser" accurately broke the defense of the four real concubines. She, who originally had a calm smile on her face, suddenly gave me three consecutive "I'm so anxious".

"Everyone in Shuchiin knows about Tanuma Tsubasa and Kashiwagi Nagisa. I don't know how many people saw you secretly dropping the little pearl behind their backs, you little loser!"

Having lost the constraints of her family in the doomsday world, Kaguya Shinomiya has also let herself go. She would never say these words in the past, but now she has no scruples!

"Haha, that's better than Grandma Kaguya. Everyone in this villa has a good relationship with Mr. Koya, right? But since I came here, I've never seen you and Mr. Koya chat for a minute. What do you think about this?"

The ridiculed "loser" Shijo Shinki also went all out. Although Kaguya Shinomiya is indeed Shijo Shinki's grandmother in terms of kinship, who would like to be called grandma by someone their own age? Oh, and there's a restriction: among girls.

Fujiwara Chika secretly moved her seat with everyone else, leaving the other side for the two girls whose personalities and looks were like mirror images to quarrel with each other, while here they were seriously discussing strategies.

"I think the most important condition is to be proactive. Koya is the typical passive, carnivorous type of guy."

"But it's difficult for Kaguya to do that given her personality."

"Get her drunk!"

"Wait? Moeha?! Shouldn't you be upstairs?!"

Chapter 90: Good News for Two Worlds

The final battle plan was decided by Moeha who secretly ran out of the room. When the strategy meeting was held, Chika tricked Chika into the room upstairs and let her read comics by herself. After all, as a little girl in her second year of high school, it was not suitable for her to participate in such a mature topic. But now, after everyone's unanimous discussion, they found that Moeha really understood it. Many of the methods she proposed even amazed Hayata Nao.

"Just do as Xiao Meng said! We don't need to achieve everything right away, but we also want Koya to realize the charm of Kaguya and Xiao Ai!"

After Kaguya rejected a multitude of embarrassing proposals, only the simplest one remained, summed up in three words: drunkenness, uniform temptation, and a large crowd. Although this plan disappointed Hayasaka Nao, who wanted to watch the fun, and Shijo Maki, who stayed out of the action, these three options were ultimately chosen at Kaguya's insistence.

Through the chat group and the live broadcast shelter, everyone can fully monitor Keya and his friends' movements. Daisy has found a car now and will be home around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. It is now 9 o'clock in the morning, so everyone has plenty of time to prepare.

The celebration banquet was being prepared in full swing. Xiao Ai and Hayata Nao were preparing the food, while Fujiwara Chika was in the room, using the sewing machine to tailor a uniform for Shinomiya Kaguya. Xiao Ai would wear a maid uniform, the sexy kind, which was already in the villa, so there was no need to prepare one.

Chika Fujiwara prepared a cat costume for Kaguya Shinomiya—basically, a cat-eared girl! Initially, Chika Fujiwara wanted to create a bunny girl costume. After all, bunny girls are a perennial favorite in the sassy genre, and Koya would have been completely captivated by Kaguya wearing one! Unfortunately, after learning about the bunny girl scene through Xiao Ai, Kaguya Shinomiya rejected Chika Fujiwara's idea with a cold look.

As for why Fujiwara Chika has tailoring skills... don't ask, the answer is that the great detective is awesome.

Fujiwara Chika: [Mashiro, Mashiro, please help me get some more fabric from the warehouse.]

Shiina Mashiro【Okay.】

Shinomiya Kaguya [Xiao Ai, which room did you put those colorful lanterns we used last time?]

Hayasaka Ai [In the warehouse in the yard where the pruning tools were originally stored, Kaguya, do you want to help? ]

Shinomiya Kaguya: "No need, just focus on cooking, I'll just move it a few more times."

Hayasaka Ai [There seems to be a small cart in that room, Kaguya, you can look for it.]

Daisy: [Everyone, we're on our way. Do you have any supplies you need? We can bring some back on our way back.]

Hayasaka Ai [We don't have many drinks or snacks at home. If you have time, you can go to the convenience store.]

Fujimaru Tachibana [That's great! I want to join the party too!]

Jizi: [Party? I think it's impact!]

Fujiwara Chika [Ahem, Sister Himeko, please stop talking nonsense! By the way, has anyone seen Koyomiko?]

Hayasaka Ai [Iino was sleeping in her room, sound asleep.]

Fujiwara Chika: "Oh! No wonder Koyomi didn't come out and say she was being indecent during the war plan meeting! Who has time to call her? She'd be really upset if she didn't get to participate in the celebration party arrangements!"

Shinomiya Kaguya [Chika, not every girl is like you. ]

The chat group and the shelter were bustling with activity, with every girl happily decorating every corner of the hall. Now they just had to wait for Koya and the others to return; tonight would definitely be a surprise for him.

In the kitchen, seeing Xiao Ai's attention focused on the pot of soup in front of her, Hayata Nao quietly pulled a small bottle from her pocket. This was a common prop among the wealthy. Hayata Nao had secretly hidden a few bottles on her when she left the Shinomiya household. Now was the perfect time to use this thing! If the plan went well, this family might really become one by tomorrow.

"I don't know if Koya can handle it."

·Dividing line·

The world of Terra is different from other 'peaceful' worlds. Tragedy is played out here every day. And today, under the leadership of Rhodes Island, a tragedy is finally coming to an end.

"Doctor, Doctor, we've already negotiated with Dr. Kel'tsit! She's amazing!"

"Well, I've got it. Amiya, go inform the operators that the final battle is about to begin. Oh, and also inform Mr. Patriot. He said before that he would end this personally."

"Ok, I see!"

After nearly a month of stalemate, Ursus finally gave in. In the final analysis, only Ursus suffered losses in this tripartite negotiation. Not only did it lose an industrial city, but it also lost its reputation internationally. Moreover, if Ursus does not show a tougher attitude and let ambitious countries like Letania see that Ursus is now strong on the outside but weak on the inside, then Ursus will be in real trouble.

There is a reason why Ursus suddenly relaxed. The pro-war faction within Ursus was purged by the young emperor using the defeat in Chernobog as an excuse. Two dukes, six earls, and dozens of border viscounts were all stripped of their titles.

Of course, the young emperor couldn't accomplish this with his current strength, so Rhodes Island dispatched several elite operators to assist him. The tasks of collecting evidence and carrying out assassinations, which were originally the responsibility of the Emperor's Blade Guards, were now assigned to Rhodes Island. The appearance of the Guards in Che City had left the young emperor no longer trusting his own guards, and Rhodes Island's efficiency had convinced him that these foreign forces were truly valuable.

Rhodes Island's help naturally comes at a price. At the same time as the Treaty of Che City is signed, the Human Rights Act for Infected Persons will also be launched within Ursus. The newly appointed little emperor of Ursus is a dove and is relatively gentle towards the infected, so Rhodes Island is willing to help her clear the obstacles. Now it seems that the little emperor has fulfilled his promise.

"Doctor, will the Ursus law regarding infected people be implemented?"

"Yes. The main problem in Ursus is still the sharp contradiction between the old and new nobility. The so-called class contradiction is a means for the new nobility to deal with the old nobility, and the infected are just targets pushed by the old nobility to deal with the lower-class people. The targets of this large-scale purge within Ursus are basically the old nobility, and the young emperor also favors the new nobility. We will see, Ursus will calm down soon. After all, except for those Ursians in the northern wasteland, the rest of the Ursians are living quite well. When they have nothing to do after eating, they will definitely need someone to stir up trouble."

"Oh, I know. I saw this information in the book the doctor gave me."

"Amiya, the world of Terra is currently in the midst of a transition between the old and the new. Let's wait and see."

"Ok!"

"Also, don't go to the front lines when dealing with Tallulah! We have so many Rhodes Island operators, why would you, the CEO, need to go and kill them all yourself?"

"Oh--"

"Don't look so disappointed. I'm going to teach those Reunion cadres. Study hard on your own."

Chapter 91: The surprise prepared by Qianhua

Because we encountered a small wave of zombies on the road and we searched the refrigerator of a convenience store for a lot of beer and cocktails, we ended up returning about an hour later than expected. In fact, if we had asked Kirisu Mafuyu to drive in the suburbs, we might have arrived an hour earlier than expected... Well, you know, racing, the exaggerated kind. Kirisu Mafuyu is a racing genius who can drive a Beetle on a track.

However, Kirisu Mafuyu was also in the chat group and even participated in the strategy of Shinomiya Kaguya and the others. Naturally, she would not let the girls' preparation time become hasty because of her, and... she also wanted to monopolize Koya for a while.

In the back seat of the car, Koya was resting against Kirisu Mafuyu. Due to his height, Koya couldn't lean on Kirisu Mafuyu's shoulder, as that would require him to turn his neck 90 degrees upward, which was obviously impossible. Also, the car wasn't spacious enough, so Koya couldn't lie down in the back seat with his head resting on Mafuyu's thigh. So, when he finally fell asleep, his head was resting against Mafuyu's. To help Koya sleep peacefully and prevent him from waking up, Mafuyu really didn't move at all during the whole ride.

"Mafuyu-san, why don't you wake up Koya?"

"No need. With my current physical condition, it's not that uncomfortable. Besides...it's actually quite good this way."

Kirisu Madoka could feel Koya's breath hitting her face, and his body was very close to her. This posture did not make her feel tired. She just felt very safe being close to Koya.

"Mafuyu-san, you really like Koya."

"I never thought I'd meet someone I like after the apocalypse... I wish Miharu could meet Koya too."

"Miss Miharu will be fine."

Kirisu Miharu is Manfuyu's younger sister. She is currently a college student and a professional ice figure skater. She actually goes to college in Tokyo, but when the zombie crisis broke out, Miharu happened to go to a school in Chiba for training. Manfuyu is very worried about her sister's safety, but she doesn't think that Miharu will be in trouble.

Because Kirisu Miharu is too strong in front of Kirisu Mafuyu, she always looks like a perfect genius, good at studying, good at sports, very proactive and decisive; her sister became interested in ice figure skating after seeing her trophy in high school. It stands to reason that it is impossible to achieve any results in learning a professional sport at this age, but Kirisu Miharu became a professional athlete in just one year, and she may not even train for an hour a day.

Let's put it this way, before Kirisu Mafuyu came into contact with the system during the week when the zombie crisis broke out, she had always been imagining in her mind whether her sister might be the savior of this zombie apocalypse. Considering that Miharu had previously trained dogs to master elementary school math skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Kirisu Mafuyu even felt that her sister could tame zombies.

Such a genius who makes people exclaim "Wow" has admired Mafuyu since childhood. To be honest, Mafuyu ran away from home to teach in Shuchiin because of the pressure from Miharu.

"Actually, Chiba Prefecture is only about an hour away from here. Mafuyu-san, let's go look for your Miss Miharu tomorrow."

"Ah."

Arrive home safely~~

Koya, who had been sleeping all the way, was woken up by Kirisu Madoka. The fatigue in his body disappeared without a trace the moment he got off the car. He now felt that he could fight the Corpse King for another hundred rounds, but his stomach protested to him because he had not eaten breakfast or lunch because of his sleep.

"Hinagiku, has Nao prepared dinner? I'm a little hungry."
