"That's right, that's right. Now we should compete fairly. You have two people, which gives you a huge advantage."

They didn't want to just give the Wind Chime to Rin Tohsaka like that.

Little Jack blinked and said, "How about we draw lots to decide?"

This is a seemingly fair suggestion that won't cause any conflict.

However, Yuxian was in the living room, covered his face speechlessly upon hearing Jack's words.

He had just thought Little Jack was very clever, but now he was making such a suggestion.

Does she have some misunderstanding about her own good fortune?

You should know that she was the luckiest of the five.

Let's play rock-paper-scissors, it'll be simpler.

Everyone agreed to settle the matter in this friendly way to determine who gets the Wind Chime on the tree.

They huddled together, each putting their hands behind their backs, hesitating about how to throw a punch to win in the end.

"Woof!"

"There's a Wind Chime here, and nobody wants it! Meow, you're so lucky, woof!"

Tamamo Cat appeared out of nowhere and, just as they were about to play rock-paper-scissors, leaped up and grabbed the Wind Chime.

She then shook it lightly with her hand, making a ringing sound.

"Ah!!!"

"How could you do this? This is what we found!"

Illya pointed at Tamamo Cat and loudly accused them, clearly very angry that their food had been snatched away.

Tamamo Cat twitched its ears. "But it's in my hands now. I got it first, woof!"

"You're shameless!"

"You're despicable!"

"You shameless person!"

The children were furious. Their prizes had been taken away by Tamamo Cat. Anyone would be furious in that situation.

Tamamo Cat casually tossed the Wind Chime in her hand.

"Go ahead and try to take it if you dare, I'm not going to let my prey get away again, woof."

Suddenly, her hand felt light; the Wind Chime hadn't fallen into her grasp.

Tamamo Cat looked at it in confusion, thinking that it had fallen to the ground because it hadn't been caught.

However, there was no trace of Wind Chime on the ground.

Where did the Wind Chime go?

Everyone started searching, as such a paranormal event piqued their curiosity.

Ring ring ring!

A Wind Chime appeared before Jack's eyes.

She grabbed it in her hand and was overjoyed.

"The Wind Chime just ran into Jack's hand!"

Jack naively thought it was a Wind Chime that could choose its own user, and he played with it with great delight.

"Oh dear, I'm too late, they beat me to it."

Arash's voice came from afar, and he leaped and quickly approached.

"As expected of someone who travels through secluded valleys, I rushed along with all my might, but I still couldn't keep up with you."

King Hassan then slowly revealed himself, standing behind Jack. The Wind Chime he had just received was the one he got from Tamamo Cat.

"You are very strong. I was just using a trick."

King Hassan nodded to Arash, who, unlike Hassan who was going in a straight line, Arash taken a much longer route.

This way, they could arrive here at almost the same time, which shows that King Hassan highly recognizes Arash's strength.

"A loss is a loss, and I'm not one to deny defeat."

Arash smiled. Being able to walk in a straight line while concealing one's presence is also a skill; there's no such thing as taking shortcuts or cheating.

As the two were chatting, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and a burly body charged toward them like a tank.

Heracles.

"Oh my, this guy is really ruthless. He just chops everything in his path with an axe. He's really something else."

Arash was speechless at the way Heracles advanced.

If King Hassan used skill, then Heracles used force.

The three men, each in their own unique way, returned to their Master.

A book on Python

"I am the First Emperor!"

"Is the visitor Ritsuka Fujimaru?"

"Exactly."

"Hahaha, that's good. I hereby appoint you as Prince Fusu, and the Great Qin is now in your hands!"

"???"

The First Emperor gave a three-part smile, opened the spatial portal, and went inside.

Chapter 73, Section 294: Who Won?

With the arrival of the three heroes, five groups of people, ten people in total, quickly gathered here, creating a lively scene.

Jack got the Wind Chime, Tamamo Cat pouted and glared angrily at King Hassan.

She had only glanced at it briefly, never expecting the Wind Chime she had just acquired to vanish without a trace.

Most importantly, she couldn't say anything because it was completely within the rules. King Hassan didn't even touch her body, and thus unknowingly took away the Wind Chime.

Olga Marie kept complaining to Tamamo Cat, saying that she had already gotten her hands on something but didn't hide it properly, and now it's been stolen.

She stormed off with Tamamo Cat, unwilling to linger and provoke further anger.

Illya looked at the Wind Chime in Jack's hand with some envy, but there was nothing she could do; Jack deserved it.

"Ah! Jack is so cunning, he actually got the quest item first."

"I need to find the quest item quickly too."

She flew onto Heracles' shoulder, bid farewell to the group, and prepared to Independent Action, no longer with them.

"Berserker, let's go!"

After receiving the order, Heracles took Illya and ran off into the distance.

Seeing that Illya had left and that Jack already had the Wind Chime, Kuro realized she couldn't stay with the Rin Tohsaka sisters any longer, so she decided to leave in another direction with the great hero.

Jack tilted her head to the side, and seeing that her friends had all left, she no longer saw any point in staying.

Now that we have the Wind Chime, it's time to go back.

She suddenly vanished without a trace.

After a while, her voice came from afar.

"Grandpa, let's have a race to see who gets home first!"

"Hehehe! I'm off now!"

Her laughter grew fainter and fainter; clearly, she had been running without being seen.

King Hassan's eyes flashed, and he simultaneously concealed himself, chasing after Jack.

This is a contest between them.

The once bustling place was suddenly left with Rin Tohsaka and her sister.

"Phew! They're all gone now, I can get serious!"

Rin Tohsaka looked very serious and said to Sakura Matou, "Sakura needs to be even more serious. If we come in last again this time, we really won't be able to face anyone."

She then encouraged her younger sister, "Show me the aura of the head of the Three Founding Families!"

Sakura Matou nodded. She didn't want to disappoint her sister. This time, the sisters would work together.

Gretel rode the Jabberwocky and searched and searched, but she still couldn't find the quest item.

She suddenly felt very discouraged. A lot of time had passed, and perhaps some people had already returned home, but she still had no clue what was going on, which made her both anxious and angry.

"It's all your fault, you're completely useless!" she began to complain about Hans Christian Andersen.

Hans Christian Andersen expressed his helplessness, saying that he was just a writer and expecting him to find things was asking too much trouble.

Despite her anger, the Gretel rhyme continued to move, still diligently searching.

Alice!

"Over here, over here!"

Suddenly, Gretel heard Abby's voice. She turned around and saw Abby waving at her from a small hillside.

She quickly turned Jabberwocky and headed towards Abby's location.

Gretel jumped off the Jabberwocky and went over to Abby, asking, "Abby, haven't you found the quest item yet either?"

"Oh dear! We're really unlucky; it looks like we're going to be at the bottom this time."

Abby tilted her head and took out two small toys.

"Ta-da!"

"Alice, look what this is!"

Gretel stared wide-eyed at the doll in Abby's hand and said incredulously, "You've already found it?"

She immediately became dejected again, "So you've already found it? Looks like I'm the only unlucky one..."

Seeing Gretel's disheartened look, Abby quickly stuffed one of the dolls into Gretel's arms.

"Here you go, I have two!"

"Really?"

Gretel was a little incredulous and picked up the doll to touch it.

"Of course it's true, we're good friends!" Abby replied matter-of-factly.

"Abby ..."

Gretel was deeply moved; she stared blankly at Abby, speechless.

Suddenly she hugged Abby tightly and exclaimed, "You're the best, Abby!"

Abby chuckled.

I thought to myself, it's really a very happy thing to be able to help my friends.

After a touching embrace, Gretel asked, "Abby, why do you have two quest items?"

Abby said with a smile, "I made sure to find a few extra items because I was worried that people might not be able to find them."

"But I only found two. I wish I had a few more. I wonder if anyone else has found the quest items."

Gretel looked at Abby, speechless. She would never have done that.
