In the End, They Still All Slept in a Pile

Why is there such a high bounty on the "Dire Wolf cubs," offering a large sum of money for simply bringing them back?

Yaochuan Guang doesn't know much about it, just like other magical girls, but like everyone else... perhaps there's no need for her to know.

Anyway, it's all about making money, so there's no need to worry about so much.

However, this doesn't mean they aren't curious.

"Shining☆Spiral!"

Like a shimmering light, the golden Drill spun wildly on the head of a large lizard that appeared to have a tough, encased shell.

Soon after, with brains splattering everywhere, another monster was killed.

Meanwhile, Xiao Cui and Lantian Zhu each defeated their respective enemies... It's clear that everyone worked very hard.

What? You mean Cong Yu?

Cong Yu is under the protection of the Little Sprite.

It's strange, but Cong Yu is definitely on the protected side right now... This is bad.

After all, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, if something is protected, it should naturally be protected in return, which would cause the "number of protections" to continue to increase, wouldn't it?

Cong Yu had already forgotten how many times she had protected the device before; it certainly wasn't the 1145141919810 times she had protected it. She was afraid she would never be able to repay the debt in her lifetime.

It's astonishing, truly astonishing.

"Whew! That's a wrap!"

As he said this, Yaochuan Guang happily made a "yes" gesture and said, "I'll make a fortune! When I get back, I can eat barbecue and fruit to my heart's content every day!"

It's worth mentioning that even in this world, the prices of fruits and vegetables in Japan are still not cheap.

Even with Yaochuan Guang's status, he wouldn't be like many Japan families who simply grow their own bean sprouts to eat.

As Yaochuan Guang spoke, Lantian Zhu, who was watching the monster's body disappear in a dazzling array of colors, glanced at her.

That's all Little Guang aspires to.

Perhaps this is what a housewife is like.

"Buying a house! It's time to move... I'm going to look at houses as soon as I get back to Wind City!"

Then we'll hire an amazing team to do the renovations!

Lantian Zhu said this, envisioning the future. "I want to buy a three-story villa with a swimming pool! It needs to be well-insulated and big enough!"

In response to Lantian Zhu's words, Xiao Cui softly retorted, "Rather than saying, Cong Yu's room and bed really need to be big... There's no point in having a big house, I suppose."

Lantian Zhu: "..."

Yaochuan Guang: "..."

That's true.

Lantian Zhu glanced at Yaochuan Guang, somewhat worried that Little Guang had become aware that "I am Cong Yu- chan's girlfriend," and then suddenly realized.

Then they'd say things like, "Oh yeah, why are you all still hanging around in Cong Yu- chan's room? Go back to your own rooms, all of you!"

Fortunately, not only did it lack self-awareness, this silly dog didn't even react at all, and just stood there grinning foolishly.

Laugh? Go ahead and laugh...

You'll have your day to cry someday.

Thinking this, Lantian Zhu couldn't help but recall the generous Little Guang in her dream who said, "I'll have the first drink, the rest you can do as you please."

I wish the real-life Little Guang was just like the one in my dream.

With this in mind, Lantian Zhu calmed his emotions after the intense battle and gradually deactivated his transformation.

Afterwards, the group, having reverted to their original forms, began heading towards the city, intending to find a nearby place to camp and rest.

For dinner, you can bring your own food, buy it in the city, or simply buy cattle or sheep from Mongolia herders.

While there aren't many magical girls who can cook and butcher animals, Yaochuan Guang is clearly one of the few... That's the value of a housewife.

The tent had already been purchased in advance, so we just needed to find a place to set it up—setting up your own tent is part of the joy of camping.

Finally, the group found a spot not too far from the other camps, a location that would prevent them from being attacked by monsters at night, but also avoided the awkwardness of being too close.

"Oh, that's about it! Wait..."

Yaochuan Guang looked puzzled. She hesitated, turning the canvas and sticks in her hands over and over, her face full of questions. "Why is this piece of cloth so big?"

To be honest, Yaochuan Guang thought he had bought one of those folding tents, the kind you just need to set up.

When they opened the plastic sheet, they found it was actually a real canvas structure that needed to be set up by the user, complete with pre-drilled holes and several support poles.

How do I use this?

Even Yaochuan Guang, who had participated in camping trips organized by his previous school, couldn't pitch a tent... Lantian Zhu was even less capable, and Xiao Cui was no exception.

Finally, under Cong Yu's ambiguous gaze, Yaochuan Guang lay down on the small canvas that had been given to him, and then curled himself up into a tube worm.

"Ah, that's fine then..."

As he said this, Yaochuan Guang said lazily, "I should have just bought a small folding tent, one for each person... I shouldn't have bought this big tent that can hold several people."

"I'll wrap this piece of cloth around myself, you all go and wrap the big one together, that'll do for the night."

Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui's eyes lit up at this.

Is this for real?

"..."

"Well..."

Cong Yu sighed, both speechless and amused, and sat on Yaochuan Guang's back: "Silly girl--"

In response, Yaochuan Guang, who had wrapped himself up and was unable to move, complained, "Don't always say I'm stupid, it really will make me stupid!"

Really? There's still room for it to fall?

"Is there still room for it to drop?"

Lantian Zhu's complaints coincided with Cong Yu's thoughts, and then, under Yaochuan Guang's resentful gaze, Cong Yu looked away.

"It wasn't me who said it, it was Lantian Zhu who said it--"

While making this excuse, Cong Yu turned the large canvas in her hand upside down, picked up one corner, and imagined. "Hmm, I'll give it a try..."

Cong Yu had camped in the wild a long time ago, and the conditions were much harsher than she had imagined...

They were constantly on the run, evading pursuers and enduring harsh conditions.

But that was a long time ago.

There was hardly any opportunity to pitch a proper tent; Saint King and I would often just find a clean spot in the forest and take a break.

Sometimes, when I'm exhausted, I can even lie down and take a nap on a rotten leaf.

There's clearly no need to work that hard now.

"Oh, I see... that's it."

As he said this, Cong Yu, who was sitting on Yaochuan Guang's bare bottom, inserted the anchor bolt through the hole in the canvas into the ground and stomped on it twice.

Then came all four anchor bolts.

Next, simply prop up the tent inside the canvas. Then, secure the anchor poles inside the canvas.

"Oh, I understand now, I'll help."

As Xiao Cui said this, she crawled into the large tent and began to fiddle with the support poles, Lantian Zhu also began to help.

"Huh? What? What?!"

Yaochuan Guang asked this question, curiously trying to turn over.

However, because she was pinned down by Cong Yu, and unwilling to use too much force to overturn Cong Yu, she chose to slowly and inching her way out...

Then, in retaliation for Cong Yu's mischief, Yaochuan Guang directly pulled out the canvas from under Cong Yu's buttocks and draped it over his own body.

Then she hugged him from behind, her arms encircling Cong Yu's neck and head.

He also put his arm around Cong Yu's shoulder.

Then, looking at Cong Yu's finished tent, Yaochuan Guang had a look of sudden realization. "Oh!!!"

Sure enough, even Yaochuan Guang understood it. With a little understanding of the principles or by looking at the finished product, he could understand how the tent was set up.

Hehehe--

However, Yaochuan Guang hugged Cong Yu from behind, smiling as he pressed his face against Cong Yu's, "I don't understand!"

"..." As expected of Yaochuan Guang.

Chapter 462 In the end, they still ended up sleeping in groups.

"So, why exactly do we need to capture the Dire Wolf?"

Yaochuan Guang asked this question with such curiosity, a question that should have been asked in the previous chapter, but unfortunately, the space was taken up by Tie Tie.

Inside the large tent, surrounded by four quilts placed in the four corners, the four men conducted their secret nighttime conversation.

A camping lamp was placed in the center of the four people; the light was not bright, making the space appear somewhat dim and ambiguous.

This is exactly the kind of camping atmosphere I've always imagined.

Okay!

The original plan was to tell ghost stories, but Lantian Zhu expressed absolute resistance... well, not entirely.

He made a "very little" gesture to indicate that he was a little afraid of ghosts... but everyone knows that this "very little" is not just any little bit.

A tiny fraction, maybe.

Therefore, without a doubt, the situation changed from "telling ghost stories" to a "mutual exchange" session.

As for Yaochuan Guang's question, "Why do we have to capture the Dire Wolf?", Xiao Cui immediately gave the answer, "Because of Fate."

Yaochuan Guang: "???"

Lantian Zhu: "???"

Oh no, has Xiao Cui been watching too many weird anime lately, or did she get tricked by the nun she talked to?

Amidst their worried gazes, Xiao Cui cleared her throat. "Here's the thing... The future of the world depends on the correct development of Fate. If humanity wants to continue to exist, then the Fate's Divergence cannot exceed fifty percent."

As she said this, Xiao Cui raised a finger and said, "So, the Church is acting to ensure that the world follows the path of 'humanity can still be saved.'"

"This capture of the Dire Wolf should be the same, because there is a part of the rules of Fate related to Dire Wolf."

After Xiao Cui's detailed explanation, even Yaochuan Guang understood. However, this did not lessen her and Lantian Zhu's worries.

On the contrary, Yaochuan Guang reached out and touched Xiao Cui's forehead with a troubled expression, as if he was worried that she had a fever.

In response, Xiao Cui immediately pouted and grabbed Yaochuan's hand. "I'm fine, I heard all this from Brad Fanmilion."

Brad Fanmilion?

Who is this?

Amidst their confusion, Cong Yu, who had been watching their conversation with a smile, spoke up, siding with Xiao Cui: "It's true, what Xiao Cui said is true."

As she said this, Cong Yu poked Yaochuan Guang's head speechlessly, deflecting his equally worried gaze. "Brad Fanmilion is a member of the Church... he's Dente Vermillion's uncle."

"And the surname Fanmilion seems to be the Pope's surname... so if the Church hasn't been deceiving us, then this statement is indeed true."

"..." Lantian Zhu was stunned. She began to genuinely feel the update. "Fate... Huh?"

So, if we don't do something "to fulfill our Fate," will the world end?

No, the world won't be destroyed, but humanity will be.

Is that so?

Lantian Zhu couldn't help but think this, lamenting the many misfortunes and hardships humanity has endured...

On top of all the natural and man-made Calamity, there's now this need for something like "the Fate Probability" to maintain things.

"..."etc...

Suddenly, Lantian Zhu thought of something, and as she made a connection, she said, "Could it be that some 'disasters' occur in order to maintain the balance of Fate?"
