Things Like Purging the King's Court Are Scary

Etzel's expression remained completely untrustworthy. She simply said, "What if you're calling one of your other paranoid companions?"

Paranoid?

I'm so...!@#JPY%...&*

"..."

"Then... what should we do?"

Hearing the nun's helpless voice, Etzel hesitated for a moment, then gestured, "How about this, you make a phone call, and I'll give you the number."

Is that so? Should I ask someone else to confirm?

The nun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was a good thing... better than being treated like a madwoman and then stabbed to death with a spear.

As the nun nodded, Etzel read out the number—

"1"

The nun pressed one.

"2"

The nun pressed the second button.

"0"

The nun pressed 0.

"..."nun. "..."

Etzel: "..."

"Um, may I ask... what happened next?"

The nun asked this, and Etzel nodded naturally, saying, "That's all... Go ahead and call, we'll talk once you get through."

"..." The nun hesitated for a moment, then, sensing something was wrong, she checked the number online... It was an ambulance's number!!!

999 and 112 have the same property!

"Grassland King... everything I said is true."

The nun felt like crying, but at that moment, Etzel became more serious. "Your reaction is normal, so I'm starting to believe you."

"..." The nun paused, pondering for a moment... In other words, everything she had just said was a lie to herself...

Is that so?

"Yes, I was just messing with you."

Etzel yawned as she admitted this, propping her bare feet up on the table. "From the moment your eyes glazed over because of my ramblings, I knew you were probably a normal person... I was just playing with you after all, you little punk."

The nun, who was called a "minor fish," was not angry at all; on the contrary, she felt a sense of relief, as if she had been liberated.

"Great, if that's the case..."

Etzel: "But why?"

"..."

"Huh?"

The nun asked, puzzled, wondering if she had misheard. "What... what, by what right?"

In response, Etzel, while picking her ear, simply said, "Why should I do anything for the survival of humanity?"

"Even though, as you say, it's just a small favor, the destruction of the Earth has nothing to do with me. You know I'm a weirdo..."

That's certainly the logic.

But the other Monster King should...

No,

It cannot be generalized.

Because Etzel is an alien who crossed the galaxy to hunt monsters and corrupt the seeds of life.

Etzel is not the kind of Monster King lived in human society, was born from humans, and then transformed again.

They are, in fact, genuine extraterrestrial life.

This is really, really difficult...

However, Etzel seemed somewhat interested in this matter. "So, why would I, who was originally Fate, have the audacious idea of adopting a magical beast?"

It's possible for anyone to adopt a magical beast, but it's highly unlikely that Etzel would—she came here to slay magical beasts, why would she adopt one?

The nun was also unsure about this. "All we know is that the two Dire Wolf you adopted are the Blade Wolf and the Shield Wolf..."

As she said this, the nun seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, you can ask Lord Cong Yu; he also knows about Fate."

"..." Cong Yu... Really?

Thinking this through, Etzel took out her phone and, with a skeptical attitude, asked Cong Yu about the matter.

He told me about adopting Dire Wolf, a human Fate, and the Blade Wolf and the Shield Wolf... I'll ask Cong Yu if it's true.

Then...

[Cong Yu:...]

Cong Yu first sent over six points... So, things like Fate, it seems this nun was just lying to herself after all?

Oh no, Cong Yu thinks I'm crazy too.

Etzel thought to herself, giving the nun a disapproving look that made her break out in a cold sweat, but Cong Yu quickly gave her an answer.

[Cong Yu: It's true.]

[Cong Yu: But... is the matter of the Blade Wolf Shield Wolf serious?]

[Etzel: Yeah, what's up? Do you know Cong Yu? Have you heard of her or seen her in a book or something?]

[Cong Yu: No... rather than saying that...]

[Cong Yu: I've heard of it...]

Okay, although Cong Yu's attitude was a bit strange, it seems the nun wasn't lying to me after all... So it's alright then.

You escaped with your life!

--

Cong Yu, looking like an old man staring at his phone on the subway, looked at the message Etzel had sent him... The Blade Wolf, the Shield Wolf?

Is it legal for Crowned Sword Zacian?

Your base stats must be over a thousand, right?

Chapter 448 The Qing Prince's Side is Terrifying

[Urgent announcement! Urgent announcement! This is Wind City Radio Station, this is Sugisaki Hideo!]

[Just now, near Thousand-Li Plaza, a magical beast appeared... one that is referred to as a "monster" in the Records of Ancient Matters!]

[The enemy is a magical beast, known as a demonic beast. Everyone who hears this announcement, please move away immediately!]

[To be repeated, near Thousand-Li Plaza...]

"..."

"Let's go, let's go!"

Yaochuan Guang looked excited and urged Lantian Zhu, "Little Lan, stop eating! Let's get to something important, let's get to something important, go!"

"..." Lantian Zhu, eating breakfast, was a little confused, wondering why Little Guang was suddenly being so enthusiastic... Still going, still going?

When it comes to going out to work, Little Guang always seems rather resistant, reluctantly going out to fight monsters.

But lately I've become increasingly enthusiastic about playing World of Warcraft. What's the reason behind this?

But Lantian Zhu naturally wouldn't understand...

After learning useful new skills, the usually tedious and boring grinding will instantly become an enjoyable experience for RPG players.

It only becomes boring again after the initial novelty wears off.

Perhaps this is what is meant by "possessing a sharp weapon, one's killing intent arises spontaneously."

However, it wasn't "Black Hollow Seven Bites" that gave Yaochuan Guang her confidence... Although it was very useful, she didn't use it recklessly.

Because she felt that the black-tongued Qi Qiu looked too cruel, which did not fit her image of a sunny, cheerful, honest... honest and cute person.

It's generally used only when you're outmatched; it's considered a backup ultimate move.

What really got Yaochuan Guang itching to try was the new techniques that Teacher Hong had taught him, as well as Teacher Hong's trump card technique— Crimson Crystal!

Of course, Yaochuan Guang is not very proficient at using it yet, and has only mastered the basics. Therefore, he still needs to use "Shining Crystal" more often in battle.

"Magical Girl Shining☆-chan, Transform and Attack!"

Yaochuan Guang rushed out of the house with a cheerful smile, while Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui exchanged a glance, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

However, they are magical girls after all, not those magical girl trainees who don't get paid and only have two and a half years of training time...

With high salaries comes the obligation to be on standby at all times to protect the safety of Wind City. This is their duty!

After quickly finishing their bread, the two waved to Cong Yu and Hong, who were leisurely eating, and then transformed and rushed out.

"Awoo..."

Hong chewed her bread slowly, a slice of sausage dangling from her lips, and sighed, "Ah, youth... so wonderful."

"..." Cong Yu glanced at Hong, who seemed to be having some kind of episode, and retorted, "Are you that old? Or do you think you're a super adult?"

Age is a sensitive topic for many magical girls... after all, they are quite old.

The more someone tries to act young, the less they like it when others ask them their age.

But Lantian Zhu, who likes to lounge on the sofa watching TV and doesn't care at all about his middle-aged appearance...

There are also guys like Hong who would sigh, "Youth is so wonderful."

She clearly doesn't belong to the type of magical girl who cares about age.

"Well, I guess I can't really call myself young... and the term 'super-adult' is just too weird."

Responding with this, Hong did indeed have some feelings. "Now, I've taught Yaochuan Guang and the others almost everything I could... I guess I'm qualified as a teacher of magical girls, right?"

Have you taught everything you could...?

This is not a good statement to make...

Thinking this, Cong Yu sighed, shook her head, and commented, "Hong... I wouldn't be surprised if you really died someday."

Hong was taken aback for a moment, then blinked.

Cong Yu, however, raised a finger as an example. "What you just said was another classic example of a flag being set..."

The teacher saying "I have nothing more to teach you" is strikingly similar to the magical girl senior saying "There's nothing left to be afraid of."

Or they might say something like, "I'm also a knight who's giving it his all," and then remark on how quiet the streets are... which is quite dangerous.

With Cong Yu's explanation...

"Huh? Is that so?"

Saying this, Hong crossed her arms, indicating that she couldn't understand. "But even though I'm a teacher, I'm not entirely a teacher..."

"My life is so long, how can it be summarized by Yaochuan Guang's teacher? Is she some kind of protagonist?"

Cong Yu nodded, finding that reasonable, then added, "But don't you think Yaochuan Guang has the makings of a protagonist?"

That makes sense now.

In a magical girl manga, someone like Yaochuan Guang would be a super protagonist... a protagonist burdened with some incredible bloodline.

A carefree and easygoing person with good teachers and friends, companions, and a woman who hides her identity, initially an enemy but later becoming his beloved wife... Cong Yu.

My beloved wife...

"Puff--"

Thinking of this, Hong couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, under Cong Yu's completely bewildered expression and the stare that made her look like she was an idiot, she burst into laughter: "Hahaha--"

Cong Yu: "..."
