Tomorrow and the Fool

Cong Yu looked at the many customers surrounding the vendors, as well as Le and Beng, who had stopped pretending and were now selling their goods as dark silhouettes.

At this moment, Cong Yu was both happy and somewhat tense.

No, although it's been a long time, have you started selling more items? Has your business expanded?!

Why are they even selling Magic Duel King card pack now?

Has your "Black Hollow" turned into a super warehouse for your convenience store, overflowing with newly arrived goods?

With this speculation in mind, Cong Yu watched the high school girls laughing and joking as they bought things...

I don't know why, but it seems like they don't care at all about Le and Beng's appearance.

It's clearly not due to any particular technique.

Because they were still laughing and joking, saying things like "this weird boss"...

Is it because of the new policies and directions?

The Monster Group has now completely withdrawn from Japan, and the winds are shifting... weirdos can now roam the streets freely.

However, most cities are still quite resistant to eccentric people, and it's difficult to change attitudes so quickly.

Yes, that's right... the vast majority.

In Wind City people are naturally carefree, and... the eccentric didn't cause this place much pain.

It's fair to say that this is within reason...

With this thought in mind, Cong Yu watched the high school girls giggling and fiddling with the... Holy Grail in their hands.

They were both a little shy, teasing each other and then playfully wrestling with the Holy Grail they had bought.

"Why are you all out wandering around in the early hours of the morning? Can't you sleep?!"

But that's not the point. The point is, why did you buy the Holy Grail? Do you even need it?! Are you just doing it because you think it's fun?

Are all the girls in Wind City JK (high school girl) class intelligent and naive?

Cong Yu thought to herself, rubbing her forehead as she looked at the high school girls who were brazenly holding the outer packaging of the Holy Grail and raising it to the sky.

I deeply felt the differences between people.

"..."

"Haha, Cong Yu, long time no see."

After Le greeted her, Cong Yu turned her head and nodded to Le, who was no longer pretending and was now showing her body and mask.

"Yes, it has been a long time... Your business has expanded, and you seem to be enjoying it."

As for Cong Yu's double entendre, "beng" is a bit hard to "beng," but "le" is very obliging and laughs a little.

"Haha, it wasn't that we were really enjoying ourselves; we were just wandering around... looking for the Demon King, looking for the Demon King."

As he said this, "Le" looked at Cong Yu, whose hands were in his pockets, paused, and thought for a moment before...

"Cong Yu, who is the Demon King?"

Amidst "Le's" question, Beng also looked at Cong Yu.

Who was it? Oh, I see...

The scope has been narrowed down so much.

However, Cong Yu had no intention of involving Yaochuan Guang, so he simply said, "It's me."

Stretch. "..."

Amidst the tension and silence, "Le" took a deep breath, then nodded in agreement. "I understand... Cong Yu, you're going to be the Demon King from now on!"

Cong Yu: "..."

Cong Yu: "???"

"..."

"Anyway, the Demon King listens to you now, right? So, there's nothing wrong with treating you as her regent."

"Le" then added.

"..." Cong Yu: "!!!"

Seeing Cong Yu's astonished expression and the countless thoughts that flashed through her eyes in an instant... "Le" knew that he had guessed correctly.

They got away with it.

Chapter 427 Tomorrow and Ruozhi

I've been scammed.

To say I was scammed wasn't really a huge scam...

"Le" is not stupid; in fact, one could say he is extremely intelligent, making him the strategist among the five Monsters of the "Six Arts"...

Yes, there are only five Monsters in the Six Arts.

Because the last "urgent" character hasn't been found yet, although it doesn't really matter, five is still not enough.

Previously, when they were with Saint King, Cong Yu had already asked questions like, "Is it possible for Monster to act in the form of normal humans?"

Many people around were listening, but no one seemed to take it seriously.

Aside from "joy," he paid a little more attention.

In addition, Cong Yu's interactions with them recently have been rather strange... Hmm, just imagine.

When he asks someone who genuinely doesn't know, "Who is the Demon King?", what would be the most normal answer?

It's probably something like, "How would I know?"

If Cong Yu truly doesn't know the Demon King 'Demon King identity and has absolutely no idea what it is, then what answer should he give?

The response would likely be something like, "It can't be me, can it?"

Cong Yu's straightforward and perfunctory response, "It's me," is abnormal.

To an unsuspecting person, this would seem like a casual joke.

However, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, it is the final key to confirming a certain hypothesis, the last straw.

Cong Yu...

"Le" didn't fully understand what kind of person this was. But even with just a partial understanding, he could guess the other person's attitude.

Demon King? I don't care.

Monster and humans... it doesn't matter.

There are those who matter, those around Cong Yu, whether you call them his friends or his lovers... Cong Yu seems to care a lot about this.

So, what is the identity of the Demon King, or rather...?

[The identity of the Demon King as determined by Cong Yu]

It then becomes obvious.

Was she one of the magical girls around him?

It can even narrow down the scope...

Yaochuan Guang... that's roughly the name.

However, even if one had guessed beforehand, "joy" still needed certainty and confirmation, which is the origin of the word "fraud".

Although "Le" wasn't lying, they wouldn't do anything unnecessary until the Demon King truly awakened.

They'll probably continue selling their "From Oden to the Holy Grail" series.

Even so, Cong Yu felt that she had become listless lately... or rather, her conscience had become very troubled.

In the past, Cong Yu probably wouldn't have shown any unusual reaction just because Yaochuan Guang's identity was revealed...

But can it be changed?

It might be a bit difficult.

Having come to this conclusion, Cong Yu, after much painful reflection, decided to return to her former calm and composed self... starting tomorrow!!!

With this profound realization, Cong Yu went home, hugged Yaochuan Guang, and fell into a deep sleep, sleeping soundly until dawn.

Then...

Open your eyes, eat breakfast, and go to school!

What? The coldness is starting to return?

Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow.

"Japan has been identified by some as a 'completely dominated' country, a recent issue that has drawn considerable attention and is related to changes in the global environment."

"As a spokesperson for the U. S. side, I advocate for a more objective, fair, and responsible approach to this issue."

"The large-scale withdrawal of the Monster Group from Japan has triggered international attention."

Widespread attention and questioning.

"We have reason to suspect that the Japan spokesperson has lost the ability to be responsible to the country, and we urge the Japan government to take action as soon as possible."

"Submit formal, confirmed representatives and have them participate in the meeting."

"At the same time, we also call on all countries..."

"..."

"Oh no, we're being targeted."

Regarding his apprentice's words, Qili, who was also looking at the United Nations conference scene, glanced at the girl with some surprise. "Hmm, she's being targeted."

Being targeted isn't surprising; what is surprising is...

How could his own foolish apprentice see through it?

It actually evolved?!

Under her teacher's admiring gaze, the girl blinked, watching the live stream on the computer screen. "But that's something the Cabinet Secretary needs to worry about, it has nothing to do with us anymore... Peaceful life is so great!"

Indeed, now that there aren't large Monster Group attacking the Central City headquarters anymore, life has become much more relaxed.

And good things come in pairs.

Her achievements include establishing a branch of the Magical Girl Association in Kyoto, assisting the King in handling the Radiation City Nuclear Wastewater Incident, and now persuading the Monster Group to leave...

Although there were three achievements, some people were dissatisfied with them.

But given the current situation, no one dared to say anything...

With such accumulated achievements, Qili was successfully promoted... from a member of the Council of Elders to one of the vice presidents.

The Magical Girl Association headquarters has one president and three vice presidents. Recently, after one of the vice presidents retired, Qili became one of the candidates.

Although it's not confirmed yet, given her Qili network of connections, her election is practically a done deal.

"A peaceful life is indeed nice."

As Vice President Qili spoke, watching the Japan representative being relentlessly questioned by countless speakers during the live broadcast, she said, "Sigh, so many countries have kings, but only Japan is being tortured..."

Perhaps it's because the Japan surrendered on their own, rather than being beaten into submission by the Monster King, that they lost face as humans.

As for Qili's words, the girl who had risen rapidly through the ranks following her teacher, as the vice president's assistant, immediately gave her own answer, "Because they're afraid, right?"

Fear? What's there to be afraid of?

Seeing the teacher's questioning gaze, the girl once again treated it as a test. "Teacher, think about it, they only have one Monster King, we have five Monster Kings, five is greater than one, we win!"

"So they're definitely worried that if Japan is completely aligned with the Monster King, then we'll easily crush them!"

"Even the River Sword Demon (Magic Girl) can't really take on five opponents at once."

"..." This child plays too many games.

Qili sighed softly, thinking that her apprentice was hopeless. This "five greater than one, win" nonsense...

Really...
