We Still Have a Demon Lord Guardian!
After everyone returned, Li Yu didn't rush to the Little Garden. Instead, he invited Izayoi others to have dinner together at Abant.
After tasting the culinary skills of the people from the Totsuki Academy, Izayoi immediately said, "Should we take a few people with us to Little Garden? And while we're at it, let's get them a chef's Spirit Rank, so we can eat good food every day!"
His words immediately intrigued Asuka Kudou and Kasukabe Yō. These people could make such delicious food without any Falna; wouldn't it be even better if they were taken there and obtained two Spirit Rank?
Li Yu was equally interested. After a moment's thought, he made his decision. "No problem. We'll have Erina and Alice come with us. Tomorrow we'll invite Shiroyasha over for dinner, and then... we'll trick that rich bastard out of a few Spirit Rank!"
After saying that, Li Yu looked at Izayoi and the others. This was setting a trap for Shiroyasha; Izayoi would probably be very interested, right?
However, Izayoi's focus wasn't on that. Instead, he looked at Li Yu with suspicion and said, "There are some things I've wanted to ask you for a while now. You seem to know a bit too much."
The arrival of the Black Rabbit in this world, and the things it told them about Arcadia —all of this was shrouded in mystery, demonstrating that Li Yu knew a great deal.
"Once your strength reaches a certain level, you can know many things. Plus, I possess the ability to read the world, just like Black Rabbit's ears can glean information from the Little Garden Central Hub. I have a similar ability." Communicating with the world, reading the world—isn't that a simple matter?
Izayoi was even more surprised to hear this, but upon further reflection, it seemed quite normal, given the sheer number of bizarre abilities in this world.
Izayoi nodded, not dwelling on the matter further. Now that he knew the details, there was no problem. He then said, "I agree to this. Shiroyasha definitely has many good things."
After saying that, Izayoi turned her gaze to Black Rabbit and said, "Black Rabbit, you wouldn't just say something like that, right?"
They were planning to rob Shiroyasha, and Black Rabbit couldn't be allowed to interfere. All eyes turned to the other party.
Black Rabbit opened her mouth, and finally said very seriously, "I won't talk nonsense, absolutely not!"
She was losing more and more of a voice in this community, and she felt that Li Yu and Izayoi were kindred spirits, and that they often thought of the same thing.
Izayoi strongly agreed with some of Li Yu's ideas; in fact, Li Yu might even strongly agree with some of Izayoi's ideas. Just thinking about this made her feel terrible.
These two are both geniuses with ideas, and they have so many people supporting them. The Little Garden is probably going to get lively from here on out. Black Rabbit even thought of Shiroyasha, because Lady Shiroyasha is also a problem child.
When the group gets together... I don't even want to think about it, I really don't want to think about it. Black Rabbit silently lowered her head and ate, savoring the delicious taste on her taste buds. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask Shiroyasha for a few Spirit Rank... After all, she would benefit from it too, wouldn't she?
Izayoi was quite pleased with Black Rabbit's good behavior; as long as she didn't cause trouble, that was fine. He figured Shiroyasha would be very interested in the food after trying it.
The wealthy and powerful Shiroyasha certainly wouldn't care about these things, and might even be quite supportive, Izayoi smile.
After finishing his food, he suddenly asked Li Yu, "What level of strength do you have in the Little Garden? Could you defeat the Shiroyasha?"
Faced with Izayoi's question, Li Yu shook his head and said, "I can't handle it. If it's a life-or-death battle, her Spirit Rank will expand infinitely when she uses the organizer's authority, and her strength will return to Two-Digit. I'm not quite there yet. If it were her current strength, I could easily crush her."
Of course, this is on the premise that the other party doesn't get angry. She has now deliberately weakened her Spirit Rank, and her strength is only in the Four-Digit. With that kind of strength, Li Yu can easily crush her.
"Oh, I see... What a pity!" Izayoi with some regret. If Li Yu could have easily beaten the Shiroyasha, that would have been great. But could he even defeat the Shiroyasha in his current state? That would be absurd.
Seeing the regretful look on the other person's face, Li Yu couldn't help but chuckle. Could this kid be harboring some strange thoughts?
After a moment's thought, Li Yu spoke up, "My strength is enough to make me roam freely in the Lower Floors, and even in the Upper Floors, I'm terrifyingly strong. Don't think that people in the Upper Floors are invincible!"
Upon hearing Izayoi's eyes lit up. If that were the case... Izayoi turned to Li Yu and said, "I think we should seriously plan how to reclaim the Arcadia flag!"
At this moment, Izayoi was smiling broadly. Since Li Yu was so strong, there was nothing to fear. What he was worried about was that they would make too much noise and attract the attention of some powerful people.
"Indeed, we should make a good plan. By the way... we need a Sea-Stabilizing Needle to take over there with us, so she can help keep things under control, and then we can go all out and have some fun!" Speaking of this, Li Yu thought of a certain silver-haired beauty.
When Izayoi heard Li Yu mention the "Sea-Stabilizing Needle," he became even more excited. He asked somewhat excitedly, "Really? Even stronger than yours? Are you sure?"
Wow, the waters of this world seem incredibly deep. There are even beings stronger than Li Yu? Even Asuna and the others are now curious: who is Li Yu talking about? It can't be Pandora, can it?
"She's quite familiar with the Little Garden too!" After saying that, Li Yu communicated with Pandora in his mind and asked her about Nyaruko.
Black Rabbit and Leticia looked at Li Yu with some suspicion. He seemed very familiar with the Little Garden; was he someone who came from Little Garden?
And even stronger than Li Yu? Two-Digit? The two were a little unsure.
Just as the demon was about to ask for more details, space distorted, and then a silver-haired beauty was kicked out of the void.
"Damn it, Pandora, you bastard! How dare you kick me!!" Nyaruko started cursing at the void after being kicked out. That damn thing was watching anime, and it just threw her right there!!
The moment Black Rabbit saw Nyaruko, her entire expression changed drastically. She stood up abruptly, staring at Nyaruko in disbelief.
Nyaruko turned around at the sound, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw Black Rabbit. Without saying a word, she came over and said, "Hey, Black Rabbit, why did you leave the Little Garden too? Were you kicked out like me?"
Tell me who it is, and I'll go back with you to kill them! Is it that old bastard Indra? I'll twist his head off and let you play with it when we get back!
That tone of voice... it was definitely her. Black Rabbit looked at Nyaruko in shock and said, "Nyaruko- sama, what are you doing here?!"
Black Rabbit truly hadn't expected to encounter Nyaruko in the outside world. After being driven out of the Little Garden by a group of people, she had vanished without a trace. Who would have thought she'd be in this world too?
"Because I've been imprisoned, that's why I'm here, hee hee~!" Nyaruko chuckled, though her tone didn't convey any sense of being imprisoned.
After saying this, Nyaruko sat down very familiarly, glanced around at her surroundings, and then looked at Li Yu with bright eyes, saying, "Not bad, not bad, you've actually become Pure-Blooded Dragon Species? Little Kurma will definitely like you a lot, and of course I like you too!!"
Li Yu's Spirit Rank naturally couldn't be hidden from Nyaruko. After all, she was one of the Three Pillars Gods. Although the old folks in the Little Garden didn't like to play with her and even drove her away, her status was undeniable.
Having acquired such Spirit Rank, Li Yu already possesses the qualifications to stand at the pinnacle of the Little Garden. She is overjoyed, and the World Dragon would surely be delighted to see Li Yu!
"Thank you for your interest, but I can't marry you. I already have a girlfriend!" Li Yu rolled her eyes. This guy was a bit unreliable.
However, Li Yu is now at ease with her. Although he doesn't know what agreement she reached with Pandora, it's a good thing overall, as she has now become one of his own.
Li Yu turned to Izayoi and said, "This is our Demon King, Nyaruko. If we go to the Little Garden to cause trouble, with her here, we don't need to worry about the fate of those top-tier beings."
Izayoi nodded, looking at the other with interest, and said, "This name... Nyaruko, and a powerful one at that... It seems the only god who can be called Nyaru is Nyarlathotep, right?"
Just from the name, Izayoi guessed Nyaruko's identity: the Thousand-Faced God, the lurking Chaos in the Cthulhu Mythos, a being of extremely high status, belonging to the top combat force in the Cthulhu Mythos.
Upon hearing his words, Nyaruko scrutinized Izayoi, then asked with some suspicion, "What's your relationship with Canaria Nyaruko?"
Why does this guy seem so familiar to her? Upon closer inspection, Nyaruko saw a shadow of an old friend in him, which is why she asked that question.
"She is my adoptive mother!" Izayoi was somewhat surprised to hear Nyaruko mention Canaria's name, but she still truthfully explained their relationship.
Upon receiving confirmation, Nyaruko suddenly realized, "I knew you looked familiar! So you're her adopted son, aren't you? Going to cause trouble in the Little Garden, huh? Fine, I'll do as you say!"
Without hesitation, Nyaruko made her promise. She understood what these guys wanted to do and why Pandora had kicked her over without warning!
If they're going to cause trouble in the Little Garden, then she really has to lend a hand. She's kept a close eye on how Old Deng kicked her out, and when that Bubble guy comes knocking, she'll trick him into joining her in fighting back!
Especially now, she sees hope! The Little Garden actually gave Li Yu such a Spirit Rank, plus some of Pandora's plans... Tsk tsk, fun! I love fun, give me more!!
