A clear voice answered, "It's very big, right? I used to live with my good friend Satoko, but she moved out after her brother woke up. Now I live alone in this house."

Noticing that Wang Quan's expression seemed a little off, Furude Rika asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"No... because my house isn't particularly luxurious. It just means that you, like me, are the type who control your desires."

Wang Quan covered his forehead and said, "But what I can't understand the most is why you asked me to help you. It was you who advised me to give up developing the Hinamizawa project. Why did you suddenly change your mind and ask me to continue developing Hinamizawa?"

"Because of this sudden appearance of the Daishocker Group."

Rika said as a matter of course: "The name doesn't sound like a good person. Rather than letting Hinamizawa fall into the hands of such a person, it's better to hand him over to my friend."

"That's what I don't understand."

Wang Quan looked at the senior Reincarnator in front of him in confusion: "Since you don't want me to disturb Hinamizawa, and you don't want Dai Shocker to develop Hinamizawa, then why don't you take action yourself and make Dai Shocker Group give up?"

"I?"

Furude Rika pointed at herself in confusion and said, "I'm just a fifth-grade student. The deity I worship is just a useless goddess who makes a humming sound."

"But you're a fifth-grade student who's been reincarnated hundreds of times! You're not just an ordinary elementary school student."

Wang Quan corrected him, "The amount of information and experience you possess should be far greater than mine, having only reincarnated once. Is this my illusion? I've never sensed the aura of someone as senior as you, after hundreds of reincarnations, that one should possess. I can only imagine this as a sign of a master who's hidden prowess!"

"mum……"

Furute Rika tapped her temple in confusion and asked, "Although I've reincarnated hundreds of times, the amount of information I can obtain is actually not very much. Moreover, I lose a lot of memories every time I reincarnate. Isn't Wang Quan also losing a lot of memories?"

"No, I just forgot some things from my childhood, and at most, I also forgot my childhood friends."

Wang Quan said affirmatively: "I remember everything else clearly."

"Then we are exactly the opposite, Mipa."

Furude Rika said happily, "Although I have forgotten many things, no matter how many times I reincarnate, I will always remember two things: one is my friends, and the other is that when I am with my friends, I can create miracles."

"I'm getting more and more confused..."

Wang Quan looked at Furute Rika blankly. "So, even though you've reincarnated hundreds of times, all you've achieved is making a few friends? But you clearly said you wanted to share that big Soviet pie with me."

“Of course I will share.”

Furude Rika smiled happily and said, "I know there's a very good dessert shop near Xing Palace. I'll treat you later, Mipa!"

"Are you and I having this conversation on the same channel?"

Wang Quan rubbed his philtrum and fell into deep thought. Although it was hard to believe, the performance of Rika Furushe in front of him did not show any courage of someone who had walked out of the cycle of reincarnation.

"correct!"

Lihua stood up happily and said, "I've even contacted some of my friends to come over to my house for dinner. I'll introduce them to you later."

Wang Quan was about to decline, but Furude Rika stood up and trotted barefoot towards the kitchen, her feet making a tapping sound against the wooden floor.

Forget it...

He shook his head and decided to stay for a meal. He had been planning to stay in Hinamizawa and develop the area to receive the arms, mercenaries and scientists recovered from the Soviet Union in a few years. Although there was no ideal senior reincarnation who could guide him, a newbie, he just let the plan proceed as usual.

After sorting out his thoughts, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen to help.

Soon, Lihua's friends also came to Lihua's house one after another. A little girl with short yellow hair jumped and called Lihua's name, and found that a table of steaming hot food had been set in the house.

"What kind of food is this? It smells so good, Rika."

A high school girl with a green ponytail asked curiously.

"mum……"

This question seemed quite difficult. The blue-haired girl pondered for a while before deciding: "The name of this dish is - Completely Fainted."

"What's on the plate?"

The blue-haired girl said affirmatively, "Fresh mushrooms just picked from the mountains."

"Completely?"

The blue-haired girl glanced at the boy lying straight on the tatami and said uncertainly, "Wang Quan... fainted?"

Elementary School Students' Team Building Travel Destinations: Chapter 42: The Goddess of Compassion and the Elementary School Students

This is...where?

Wang Quan woke up in a daze, covering his head and looking around in confusion. The Gassho-style house had disappeared without a trace, and in its place was a shrine he had never seen before. In front of the shrine's torii gate, a little blue-haired girl wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume and a pair of small horns on her head was looking at him with a look as if she had seen a ghost.

"Horns aren't external organs of humans."

Wang Quan rubbed his temples with a headache and said, "I remember when I broke into the kitchen, I saw a large number of mushrooms piled up in the kitchen and then lost consciousness? So where is this place? Is it an illusion or a dream?"

"This is the sea of ​​consciousness that can stabilize the spirit of the reincarnated. I am the god enshrined in the shrine, the one who bestowed upon Rika the power of reincarnation. It is I who have brought you here despite your unstable spirit."

The horned girl moved, floating in front of Wang Quan in an anti-gravity manner. She looked at Wang Quan and said word by word, "Son of Man, I have been following Lihua and observing you. You are also a reincarnation who can communicate with me."

Looking at the self-proclaimed god, the 'God of Shrines', Wang Quan's mouth twitched as he said, "I only knew that eating mushrooms would lead to encounters with villains, but I didn't expect that simply inhaling a large amount of mushroom spores would also do the same. Can I only pray that Rika-san can get me to the hospital as soon as possible so that I can recover?"

"Son of man."

The God of the Shrine's voice gradually softened. "Although both are reincarnations, you and Rika are essentially the same. During Rika's hundred reincarnations, due to various adverse experiences, she developed another personality, like a witch. I spent a lot of effort to suppress that witch personality. However, the spirit beside you who was supposed to take care of you is suppressed by some strange power, so she can't come out to help you suppress the monster in your heart..."

Wang Quan looked in astonishment at the blue-haired girl with horns in his illusion who slowly lowered herself and stretched out her hands towards him. He subconsciously took a step back, but was hugged tightly by the girl. Then a voice of pity sounded from his shoulder.

"Son of man, if you need help, please open your heart. Although my divine power is very weak, I will do my best to help you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."

Wang Quan curled his lips and said to the 'illusion' that was gently hugging him, "Apart from the environment I'm in, there's nothing wrong with me right now."

As he finished speaking, he felt the hands that were hugging him tightly hug him even tighter.

"I can feel it right now, I can feel it easily. You're clearly just a child, but the childlike part of you has been completely devoured by the 'monster'. There's no way you don't need help."

"It's my illusion."

Wang Quan muttered, "But I don't like your description of me as if I've lost something important. The reason the child in my heart disappeared is simply because I've 'grown up.'"

The Imperial Shrine God looked at Wang Quan hesitantly: "Just grown up?"

"Yes."

Wang Quan affirmed. "I traded my frail limbs for the strength to carry a thousand-pound burden; I traded my simple mind for the steadiness of careful deliberation; I traded my tearful heart for the strength to weather every storm and hardship."

After a pause, he pounded his chest and proudly declared to the girl who called herself a god, "That child has become so strong. Do you still want to call me a monster when I have grown to my full form?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After a long silence, the Imperial Shrine God let go of Wang Quan and flew into the air, taking in the boy before him. Then, with a trembling voice, he asked, "Did you lose only your limbs? Only your brain? Only your heart? No, there's much more. You lost almost everything you had, and then you found a bunch of random things to fill yourself up with."

Wang Quan raised his eyebrows. He had no idea what the horned girl was talking about, but was it necessary to understand the illusion?

The shrine god spoke softly with a feeling of pity that made him feel inexplicable.

"You lose the trust and replace it with suspicion."

"You lose what you believe in, and gain what you hesitate."

"You lose your faith and exchange it for confusion."

"Losing the romantic, in exchange for the worldly."1

"Innocence is lost, and suspicion is gained."

"We lost the fairytale, and got the cruel one in return."

"We have lost that simplicity, that naiveté, that fantasy, and gained that reality, that shrewdness, that negation."

"We have lost the purity, the kindness, the sincerity, and gained the complexity, the suspicion, the ridicule."

The Imperial Shrine God looked at Wang Quan with a look of pity and whispered in a trembling voice, "Son of man, I don't know what kind of predicament you have encountered, nor how much trouble you have caused, which makes you so eager to be powerful, but it's not too late now. Let me help you, okay?"

"On the contrary, it was my illusion—it was precisely because I once had too much trust and too much faith that I ended up with nothing in my first life. The troubles I encountered were mostly caused by my naiveté."

Facing the 'goddess's' incredible gaze, Wang Quan said noncommittally, "And I don't like your adjectives. I prefer the words of those 'remarkable people in society'. They usually call what I lost 'the price' and what I gained 'growth'."

Elementary school students team building travel destination: Chapter 4 Mushroom Knights!

When he regained consciousness, Wang Quan found himself still in Lihua's room. He glanced at the color of the sky and asked in surprise, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Mee, it was only half an hour. My friends were so scared that they went to see a doctor."

Lihua stood aside with a strange look on her face, looking at Wang Quan and saying, "Wang Quan, isn't your reaction to mushrooms a bit too extreme? I thought your so-called dislike of mushrooms was simply a matter of being picky, but you fainted just by seeing the mushrooms I had piled up in the kitchen? That's a bit too extreme."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I didn't expect to react like this. After all, I haven't seen mushrooms in almost four or five years. This sudden encounter was a completely unexpected attack, and..."

He rubbed his temples, thinking about the blue-haired, horned girl in a red and white shrine maiden costume he saw after he carelessly inhaled a large amount of mushroom spores. Logically, Rika Furude should not be stupid enough to pile up hallucinogenic mushrooms at home, so what was going on with that hallucination?

"..."

Lihua looked at Wang Quan, who was still troubled by the mushrooms, with confusion and asked curiously, "Have you never seen something as common as mushrooms in your daily life?"

"How could I allow something like that to exist in the market?"

Wang Quan said as a matter of course, "So I mobilized all my power and connections to ensure that no mushrooms could enter the vicinity of where I live through normal commercial channels."

As if sensing something was amiss, he quickly added, "Please don't think I'm suffering from PTSD. I simply have an irreconcilable blood feud with mushrooms."

"Mmm, I'm not surprised."

Lihua said as a matter of course: "It's normal, right?"

"Eh?"

While Wang Quan was stunned, Lihua pointed to the distance. Wang Quan looked and saw a little boy in the distance sweeping the cattail grass with a branch. The purple corolla was blown high into the air and scattered in the air by the boy's high-speed swing and shout of "Hehehe".

"Gu..."

Wang Quan's mouth twitched as he said, "Well, my hatred for mushrooms does seem a bit too 'childish' on the surface."

"Childish? That's not right."

Furude Rika smiled faintly and said, "That child was just bravely fighting a dragon that looked like a cattail grass in his own imaginary world to save the princess. I'm sure Wang Quan had similar reasons."

"of course not."

Wang Quan rubbed his chin and said, "To me, it doesn't matter what the princess is like. As long as I'm a mushroom, I have to kill her."

"That's such a pity."

Rika muttered, "Because we're in Hinamizawa, deep in the mountains, and because of the location and topography, we get much less sunlight than other areas, and the humidity is very high. This provides an excellent environment for mushrooms to survive and thrive. It's safe to say we don't have anything else here, but a ton of mushrooms."

"Really? So there are enemies on the other side of the mountain. That's great."

Wang Quan muttered thoughtfully, "Looks like we need to make the mountains of Hinamizawa stronger."

"What did you say?"

Lihua, who didn't hear clearly, asked in confusion.

"I say that's good."

Wang Quan said with a forced smile, "With so many mushrooms, this is a great place to help me overcome my weaknesses. I will definitely treat these local mushrooms well."

"Oh, what did I just hear?"

An interested voice sounded from the side: "This kid is very interested in mushrooms, right?"

Wang Quan looked up in confusion, then saw a high school girl giving him a thumbs-up. "So, how about joining our Mushroom Knights?"

"Mushroom Knights?"

Wang Quan looked at the high school girl in front of him in confusion: "How did this organization, which seems to appear only in a fantasy world, appear? And this big sister, who are you..."

"Sonozaki Mion, leader of the Mushroom Knights."

The high school girl, with her long green hair tied into a high ponytail and a capable and refreshing look, gave the elementary school student a thumbs-up and asked with a smile on her face, "How about it, brave boy? Do you want to join our secret society and defend world peace together?"

"emmm..."

Wang Quan rubbed his chin and said, "Captain, I'm afraid I have to decline your offer, because I have to go back to school in a few days."

"It's totally okay, Mipa."

Lihua shook her head and said, "I have to go to school, but I'm still the receptionist of the Mushroom Knights and a member of the defense of world peace."

Wang Quan squinted at Furude Rika. "I thought our class only had 'elementary school students who declared they wanted to defend world peace,' like Senbudu fighting against the demon world, Illya ruling the world like she did, and Xiaoyao challenging gods single-handedly. How come other classes also have students who see saving the world as their personal responsibility? Am I the only one? Am I the only human cub in the entire school who's thinking of 'shorting foreign exchange with a thousand-fold leverage to strengthen humanity'?"
