We're Going to Win (Sadly)

As children, they cannot truly empathize with these things.

The former can recognize and appreciate the benefits of these perks, but they wouldn't be so drawn to the Monster Group as to genuinely want to join.

The latter...

Even without those benefits, she already really wanted to join... Benefits didn't matter, the main thing was that the Monster Group was cool.

When Nagashima Koki was being beaten up, there was no sign of the magical girl; instead, a handsome guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Then, in no time at all, she helped her father get rid of the baby.

So, strange people are good, and strange people are bad.

Nagashima Koki has drifted through half her life, only regretting that she has never met a wise ruler... She originally wanted to take Cong Yu as her godfather, but unfortunately he had no feelings for her mother.

Are you really going to stay here a little longer?

Xiao Cui asked Nagashima Koki for confirmation, and Nagashima Koki waved her hand reassuringly. "Okay, don't worry, go home and have dinner! I'll have Mom pick me up later."

Even so, Xiao Cui was still a little worried.

Unfortunately, it was time for her to go home for dinner.

Speaking of which... you must have snuck here, right? Does your mother really know about this?

Confused, Xiao Cui boarded the tram for the return journey.

"Ugh... Ah--"

The Doctor stretched and, feeling exhausted, walked back to his area... the surgery had just been completed.

The body that Dongshang Yahui Xiang had replaced had already been prepared for preservation and was piled up in the warehouse upstairs.

She can start researching it when she has some free time.

The completion of the surgery also signifies that her busy period can come to an end... Next, all she needs to do is keep an eye on the kangaroos in the experimental area.

However, I'll probably have to work overtime tonight, since the kangaroo issue needs to be resolved as soon as possible to see if any kangaroos have mutated.

When she pushed open the door to the observation area with this thought in mind, she was completely stunned... Why was there an outsider here?

There seemed to be a little girl who looked quite excited, peering through the glass watching the kangaroos fight.

Some of the kangaroos appear to have already drunk water contaminated with the K Virus.

These kangaroos were much larger than normal kangaroos, with abnormally swollen muscles and dark gray skin.

Its eyes were completely filled with a layer of scarlet blood vessels, its limbs were twisted and strong, and its claws had become unusually sharp...

These zombie kangaroos seemed to have completely lost their minds, wandering around behind the glass in the experimental area, searching for their kind to attack.

Ignoring the little girl pressed against the glass...

It seems that there is no aggressiveness towards humans in their genes, only a killing instinct and a hunger for their own kind. The experiment has been a partial success.

But the problem is...

Where did this little girl come from? And why is she completely oblivious to the bloody scene in the experimental area? How dare she?

Thinking this, the Doctor, whose size was similar to, or even a little smaller than, this little girl, immediately realized something.

Holy crap! That's incredibly efficient!

I just asked Cong Yu to find me a bad enough assistant yesterday, and she found one for me today, and it's a very malleable young human.

Cong Yu, you're unbeatable, Cong Yu!

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

The Doctor, wearing a long white coat, asked the little girl in front of him a question, then walked over and watched the carnage between the kangaroos with her.

At that moment, Nagashima Koki noticed the Doctor approaching and quickly waved her hands, saying, "Don't look, don't look! Children shouldn't watch such bloody scenes; they'll have nightmares tonight."

He's even starting to care about me now?

And you're so sensible, yet you were watching so intently just now... Don't you see yourself as a child?

However, since it was Cong Yu who brought them here, it's normal for things to be a little strange.

"I'm Doctor, and the official in charge of this area."

Even though she was already quite certain, she still confirmed it just in case. "You were recommended by Cong Yu, right?"

Nagashima Koki nodded in realization, understanding that the other person was the one who had locked up the kangaroos to fight.

Wow! That's amazing...

Reflecting on the other person's identity, Nagashima Koki pondered for a moment, and then... yes, she was the one recommended by Cong Yu.

"Yes, my mom and I were both recommended by Brother Cong Yu."

"..." It's confirmed, it's the assistant Cong Yu found.

But surprisingly, both mother and daughter showed up... and, hahaha, that's hilarious, the "handsome brother" is alright.

Did Cong Yu tell you specifically what kind of help she needed?

The Doctor asked this, and Nagashima Koki paused for a moment, blinking, "No... I came to visit on my own."

They were quite enthusiastic.

The Doctor nodded knowingly, thinking that the child probably enjoyed the experiments. She paused, then pointed to a corner of the experimental area.

There was a giant kangaroo that was clearly insane; it was grabbing one of the kangaroos and tearing it into pieces...

Blood and bits of flesh were scattered all over the ground.

"This is an experiment that Cong Yu asked me to conduct, saying it was to help deal with the kangaroo overpopulation problem in Australia, and he asked me to develop a virus."

The Doctor spoke calmly, testing Nagashima Koki's tone, "However, the virus is not yet up to standard."

"While the kangaroos have indeed become very ferocious and capable of killing other kangaroos, I believe they still need improvement... What kind of improvement do you think is needed to better help Cong Yu achieve her goals?"

"..." Upon hearing the Doctor's words, Nagashima Koki paused, then abruptly took a step back, staring at the Doctor in shock.

"I'm just a primary school student, why are you asking me?"

Doctor:"..."

That's right, I'm looking for an assistant, not an apprentice... This kid may be quite bold, but he's really just a primary school student.

However, before the Doctor could say anything, Nagashima Koki blinked at the super kangaroo that was slaughtering its own kind and said, "But I think this virus is too vicious... We should reduce their attack power, and then turn all the other kangaroos that have been scratched into this state, and finally let them starve to death. That would be gentler and more suitable for us children."

"..." Oh, that's right... The problem with the virus now is that it's too deadly.

The Doctor nodded, then his eyes lit up. "Starve to death... That's a good idea; I hadn't considered that before."

Previously, the Doctor were struggling with how to clear the infected kangaroos, but now it seems that letting them starve to death naturally is indeed the best course of action.

But what do you mean by "we kids"? I'm not a kid!

[Doctor: The assistant you found for me is great, I'm quite satisfied.]

[Cong Yu:?]

Chapter 272 We Will Win (Sad)

"Pfft! What is this?!"

A man spat out the brown liquid from his mouth, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up abruptly, his eyes wide open.

He speaks with a standard Naples accent from the moment he opens his mouth.

"You bastard..."

While cursing, the man grabbed the collar of the newly opened coffee shop owner. "You didn't even realize he was a United States!"

People passing by all turned to look.

"I said it had to be concentrated! It had to be served in 30 seconds, the kind you can gulp down! Are those damn United States begging in Naples?!"

The cursing Italy man punched the newly opened shop owner in the face. "Add sugar and milk as you like! But since you dared to bring me water, you might as well drown in the Tyrrhenian Sea! Eurah!!!"

Then, the Italy man unleashed a flurry of punches at the shop owner who had served the wrong coffee. "Ora! Ora..."

Finally, the boss, his face covered in blood, was sent flying by a heavy punch and fell against a telephone pole.

That's enough.

The Italy man, looking displeased, pulled five euros from his pocket and threw them at the shop owner.

As he left, he even gave a disdainful downward finger.

"Take the money and get your brain checked, then buy some pineapple pizza!"

"..."

"You Sardinians are really obsessed with coffee these days..."

Not far away, a hooded, blonde, blue-eyed woman said this while sipping her espresso, "It's starting to feel like a war of heretics."

To the woman who said this, another hooded girl looked at her with disdain. "She's Italy, thank you."

"Actually, it was much worse before... You haven't seen what it looked like when a Starbucks coffee shop burned down."

The red-haired magical girl waved her hand helplessly, saying, "Italy is much more tolerant now... Lattes and such are fine, as long as you don't serve something as insulting as 'Italian with water'."

As she said this, the magical girl looked at her companion who nodded in understanding and asked, "Wait, Tereido, aren't you Italy?"

Yes, they are the Vampire Ancient Ones — Tereido Torredo, and Dente, who was forced to follow the Vampire.

"Although I've been active in Italy lately, I'm actually Dacians, or more specifically, Wallachia in today's regional classification?"

Wallachia?

Dente paused for a moment, searching his memory for the name, before concluding, "That was hundreds of years ago... It's called Romania now."

One can only say, they truly deserve to be called an immortal species.

No, immortal beings.

For them, the changes of eras and kingdoms didn't really mean much... That's probably what it means to exist above the entire system.

It is not that they "belong" to a certain country, but rather that ordinary people happened to establish a territory within their sphere of activity.

It really feels like a dream.

"Oh, Romania ... Speaking of which, I have a pretty good relationship with the worldly House of Cepeș, especially that Duke Vlad."

With that, Tereido downed her espresso in one gulp, then smacked her lips. "Sour and bitter, but very fragrant."

This is what coffee should taste like...

Dente pursed his lips and pointed helplessly to the sugar bowl and milk beside him. "If you really don't like it, just add some yourself."

That being said, Tereido didn't see any need to add anything; she was more concerned with other matters.

"What did that person mean when they said, '[Take the money to get your brain fixed, and then buy some pineapple pizza]'? What's the metaphor behind pineapple pizza?"

In response to Tereido's words, Dente put down his coffee cup and said, "Because United States like pineapple pizza... can you imagine?"

Tereido considered Dente's suggestion briefly and didn't see anything wrong with it. "It shouldn't taste too bad, right?"

"..."

"Ha?!

Dente immediately bristled, adopting a fighting stance. "Even if I can't win, I'll fight you to the death for saying those words!"

Tereido: "..."

Is it necessary?

When we forcibly grabbed you, your demeanor and resolve weren't nearly as unrestrained and arrogant as they are now... Didn't you surrender so decisively back then?

What's this all about?

You want me to surrender... Fine!

Pineapple pizza... No way!

Is that so?
