Commemorating 1.14514 Million Words

Last time, a massive war broke out between humans who followed the Monster King who wanted to rule the world and humans who resisted the Monster King's rule.

Subsequently, after the war ended, humanity ushered in peace.

But even so...

If we look closer to home and to some small countries, we can easily see that... war has never truly ended.

War is not something distant; it is a common occurrence.

This is certainly true, at least for "Semaiebo".

Southeast Asia is divided up by four Monster Kings... No, that's not quite right. To be more precise, it's actually one Monster King.

The four-in-one approach of "punishment," "restraint," and "contractual action" [against the enemy].

It is both the same person and not the same person.

A rather strange king who is both someone who wants to kill the other, yet is also an inseparable part of himself.

Of course, it's one thing for the top players to fight each other...

The key point is that it wasn't just a simple battle between people, but rather a complex web of intertwined forces that recruited civilians, magical girls, and freaks.

A war of mutual recrimination.

It's war.

Semaiebo's hometown village has been ravaged by endless war since she can remember...

Gunshots, cannon fire, and magical roars formed the main theme of her childhood.

During her childhood, she took all of this for granted, believing that the world was simply how it should be.

But that's not actually the case.

It wasn't until she became a magical girl and left her homeland that she finally realized... that her country had suffered an undeserved calamity.

Although it was their own choice.

But is it really impossible to pin the blame on anyone?

That's not necessarily true.

It's the Monster King's fault.

"Shh... shh..."

Semaiebo shook her leg rhythmically, making a slight noise in her airplane seat, indicating that she was not at peace.

Sitting next to her, Eileen Greneau glanced at her companion but said nothing... Perhaps this was another form of homesickness?

"This flight has arrived over Ninoy International Airport after a flight time of four hours and fifty minutes and is about to land. Please proceed in an orderly manner..."

"..."arrive.

This was part of their pre-arranged plan, a contingency plan for the future of humanity...

Semaiebo and Erin Grenouille then did what the Anti-King were supposed to do.

However, Eileen Grenor couldn't help with the more specific, minor arrangements; those were left to the local, Semaiebo.

"I'll call a car and take it from Daninoy Airport."

Go to my village, then hike to the areas of the other three kings..."

Semaiebo planned it this way, then nodded to Erin Grenouille: "And then, we'll really be facing off against the King."

Surprisingly, she wasn't afraid at all.

On the contrary, I'm really looking forward to it...

I've been looking forward to this day for a long time.

It was as if it were destiny, or some kind of mission... If she succeeded, this land would no longer be consumed by war.

There are four words: "Discuss", "bind", "engage" and "defeat".

Three of them need to be killed...

Killing just three of them will suffice.

"..." The Monster King's victory? The Monster King's reign?

In the foreseeable future, as Fate has decreed, that is the path that will allow humanity to survive between magical girls and monsters...

Although it shouldn't have been like that, and although it was something the four of them should have tried their best to avoid, it could still be allowed for the time being...

For the time being, Semaiebo will place his kingdom under the purview of one of the following: "Punishment," "binding," "contract," or "conquest."

If the war can end, then the Monster King's rule is not a fact that needs to be denied immediately; one day, this future will need to be denied...

But at least not now.

The most important thing to do now is to extinguish the flames of war. If there is any real meaning to life, if human life is not meaningless, then this worthless war should be ended.

--

As the vehicle drove to the vicinity of Semaiebo's village, the two hiked through dense forests and animal trails, eventually arriving at a place resembling a camp.

It's clear that there are quite a few human soldiers and magical girls patrolling here.

"Sema--"

The one who greeted them was a magical girl whose demeanor seemed somewhat aged, but whose appearance was still young and beautiful, even looking younger Semaiebo.

The accent was obvious; the person was a local who had never studied English.

Then, there were many people who looked familiar with Semaiebo, dressed in ancient and thin clothing, and who didn't seem to be modern people... tribal people?

They started to enthusiastically come over and greet us.

The trained-looking man looked over curiously. The magical girls, weathered by storms and bloodshed, seemed to already know Semaiebo... and came over to greet him warmly.

Then he pointed to the destination not far away.

Following her gaze, what came into Erin Greneau's view was a vast expanse of stones stuck in the ground... a dense array of graves.

In that instant, Erin Grenouille suddenly understood what war truly meant.

Although all she could smell was the scent of soil, grass, and trees, she inexplicably detected the smells of gunpowder, blood, and gunpowder.

This feeling is quite unpleasant.

After a while, Semaiebo, who had been away from home for a long time, ended the conversation and came over. "I've found out, the Monster King here is 'Yo' now. Let's go talk to him and see if we can get his help."

Want to collaborate?

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Erin Grenor is not that kind of extreme person... just like her ancestor who collaborated with Vampire to seek survival for humanity.

The ancestors killed far more humans than Vampire.

Humans who do not understand the meaning of the "Age of Man," who are content with their little world and aid and abet evil, are far more terrifying than Vampire themselves.

If one wants to deny the future of the Monster King's rule over the world and restore balance to the balance between positive and negative, perhaps cooperating with the Monster King is necessary.

Otherwise, it might reverse again, turning into a situation where the positive extreme is at its peak and the negative extreme is at its decline.

That would still not be a good thing for humanity.

But...

"You said that 'punishment,' 'binding,' 'conquest,' and 'conquest' are a four-in-one kingship, right? Can they really allow outsiders to interfere in their war games?"

In response to Eileen Greneau's question, Semaiebo sighed, "Perhaps... but more importantly, even with the help of one of them, can we really accomplish what comes next?"

With the help of one of the four kings, he killed the other three...

As two magical girls?

Will we win?

We will win!

Chapter 511, Commemorating the 1,145,140th Word

"Chirp chirp, chirp chirp--"

"Boom!"

"Ding ding ding--"

"..." Everyone seems to be very busy during this holiday...

It goes without saying that Kurenai put a lot of effort into teaching the three magical girls; teaching three girls by herself is quite a lot of work.

Xiao Cui is communicating with the Little Sprite.

Lantian Zhu is self-destructing.

Yaochuan Guang is trying her best to create a pirated version of the Crimson Crystal Technique, naming it "Yaochuan Crystal"... She's probably the one who's having the most trouble.

To this day, she still doesn't understand how Teacher Hong's "Crimson Crystal" is actually formed... Magic can indeed form crystals.

However, the crystal will instantly disintegrate if the thought is even slightly distracted.

Hong's explanation is... that it's enough to couple magic power with "killing intent" and "belief," but it's somewhat difficult.

Ultimately, Yaochuan Guang has never considered anything with the intention of "killing with certainty," and even if he had, it was merely...

It only took a moment...

Asking her to try to infuse even 1% of emotion into a spell is an excessively difficult task... especially when it's murderous intent.

In terms of the magnitude of the increase, murderous intent is a superior emotion.

It's too difficult for Yaochuan Guang to master.

I think we should see if there's any technique that can be released using "foolishness," and I reckon Yaochuan Guang will be able to learn it quickly.

Cong Yu thought to herself as she drank the can of cola in her hand.

Then, for some inexplicable reason Yaochuan Guang looked over, and then, seeing Cong Yu's puzzled expression, she muttered, "I have a feeling that Cong Yu- chan is thinking I'm stupid again."

"???" How perceptive Yaochuan Guang!

Cong Yu was startled, but quickly looked away, retorting calmly, "That's not true. I was just thinking... Little Guang is so cute."

Wow! Yay!

Upon hearing this, Yaochuan Guang was overjoyed, his happiness evident on his face... He immediately started jumping for joy.

Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui were whispering to each other, saying things like "What a cheesy couple" and "So ugly."

I don't know if it's because I've been reading Hong Kong comics lately.

Sitting next to Cong Yu, Hong, who was happily munching on her ice cream, remarked with some emotion, "You're really good at fooling kids."

It's quite chilly today, but Kurenai is here enjoying her ice cream... Oh well, that's how magical girls are.

Forget about eating ice cream in winter, you can even lick an outdoor metal signpost without any problem (readers, don't try this, don't try this, don't try this).

"What do you mean, 'fooling children'? Don't talk nonsense..."

Cong Yu said this, while still sitting, she suddenly leaned forward and, without moving her buttocks, took a bite of the red ice cream.

Then he pulled his body back.

Hong was so frightened that her hand trembled...

Cong Yu seemed to stretch her neck or her body suddenly extend... and quickly bit off a corner of her ice cream.

So cute!

Thinking this, Hong glanced at Cong Yu, who seemed completely unfazed, and asked, "So you really think Yaochuan Guang is cute?"
