A Spring Full of Trouble / Nagashima (Eternity Island)

"Do you think money is more important to me, or are scandals more important?"

Xiao Cui asked this question, and the man on the other end felt as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope. "Money!"

Xiao Cui simply shook her head.

"So that's... dirt on them? Because having dirt on those people is tantamount to controlling their power!"

"..." Cong Yu felt a strong sense of déjà vu about this scene.

To prevent anyone from mentioning "World Heritage Site application" or anything like that, Cong Yu decided to interrupt in advance, "Just go die obediently... That's very important."

Xiao Cui, who had been beaten to it by Cong Yu, pouted, then nodded and lightly waved her hand. "Kill him!"

The Little Sprite naturally responded to Xiao Cui's command in unison, "Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp!!!"

"..." Then, the man's body was quickly pierced and riddled with holes... The trip to United States finally came to a successful end.

They killed one person after another.

They killed so many people.

"..." However, Xiao Cui and Nagashima Koki have undoubtedly embarrassed themselves on the international stage once again... Perhaps the situation is far from over?

With this thought in mind, Cong Yu looked at Xiao Cui, who was covered in blood but stood simply... Xiao Cui was no longer the same at this moment.

No longer confused, Xiao Cui has gained enough composure.

They can already be called "strong".

Chapter 555 A Tumultuous Spring

"We're back--"

"You're back."

In response to Cong Yu and Xiao Cui's declaration of returning home, Lantian Zhu waved lazily, while Yaochuan Guang smiled as always, "Welcome back."

Then, Yaochuan Guang saw Xiao Cui, whose face was full of exhaustion.

"Mother!"

Then, Xiao Cui shouted this.

Yaochuan Guang: "???"

"Mommy, Mommy!"

Xiao Cui exclaimed, then "plop, plop!" and stuck to Yaochuan Guang's leg. "Whew, home is the best."

Yaochuan Guang: "..."

Ah... It feels like it's been a long time since I was last called "Mom, Mom."

Moreover, Yaochuan Guang felt he had seen the weariness on Xiao Cui's face before.

It looks like it's on Cong Yu- chan's face, right?

Thinking this, Yaochuan Guang looked at Cong Yu, who was also rubbing her nose but seemed more relaxed... What happened this time?

Not just Yao

Kawamitsu was curious about this, and Lantian Zhu was equally puzzled. "Weren't you guys pretty tough?"

As he said this, Lantian Zhu switched the TV channel to the World Channel, watching the continuous broadcasts about recent major events in the United States.

The King of Wind City and Magical Girl Midori have become a hot topic recently... Of course, both of them have a pretty positive image.

Whether on Metabo or on television, the two of them are constantly appearing on screen—those few shots are played over and over again.

Trending news on Metabus generally goes like this:

1. President Joe United States died on XX day. No surgical traces were found, and it was determined that the cause of death was cardiovascular disease caused by shock.

2. The King of Wind City, accompanied by an unknown magical girl, assisted the American Magical Girl Association in eliminating corrupt elements, including the former president. A salute to the King of Wind City!

3. Bloodstained Red Maple Street, Cool! and the like.

Content related to these two individuals has essentially dominated the top few trending topics... even the top half.

Xiao Cui's information has also been unearthed; she's a magical girl from Wind City Japan... After all, she was previously featured in a card game, so she's quite popular.

However, opening Xiao Cui's box is still quite difficult.

In this world, no one has the ability to connect [Magical Girl☆Midori] with "Katsuki Ruri"... except for the Nagashima bloodline.

And the meaning of Lantian Zhu is also quite clear.

After all, judging from the news, Cong Yu and Xiao Cui didn't seem to have encountered anything particularly upsetting, so they shouldn't look so exhausted.

"Yes, it is, but it's also very tiring."

As she said this, Xiao Cui lazily lay down next to Yaochuan, looking utterly exhausted. "I'm so tired for no reason..."

In response, Cong Yu rested her chin on her hand, leaned back on the sofa, and gave her weight to the home. "It's only natural to feel tired when you come home."

As she said this, Cong Yu yawned. "Yawn - because this is home... and if there weren't soft things to lean on, then I wouldn't show my tiredness."

Lantian Zhu and Yaochuan Guang exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat confused... Neither of them quite understood what Cong Yu was talking about.

Soon, Yaochuan Guang's eyes began to reveal a kind of ecstatic joy.

Because, finally, there wasn't a situation where "only Yaochuan Guang didn't understand," this time Little Lan was with her, yay!

At that moment, Hong, with a piece of bread in her mouth, walked into the living room. "Welcome back... home. I understand."

As she said this, Hong sat down next to Xiao Cui.

Okay, now there are three people in the family who understand why, even though it's all about going abroad to kill people and show off, it's still so exhausting.

Only two remain that I don't understand.

One is a stupid dog that you can't expect to understand, and the other is... not qualified to "show off".

Generally speaking, the high-class image of Lantian Zhu doesn't last very long.

Therefore, Lantian Zhu had no way to empathize with others.

Five-star critic Katsuki Ruru Kazuki offered this assessment:

"As expected, people can't understand each other. Sister Blue Sky and Sister Yaochuan, you two might as well drown in your world of happiness!"

"..." Where did this new human come from to make such a statement?

With this doubt in mind, Cong Yu shook her head, then looked at Xiao Cui, whose face was being pulled by Yaochuan Guang, and ignored the other's pleading eyes.

After all, even with Yaochuan Guang grabbing her face and pulling her back, Xiao Cui continued to create Little Sprite.

Xiao Cui is now constantly creating Little Sprite for her "Super Sprite World" project... it's probably almost become a habit.

Xiao Cui left hundreds of Little Sprite in New York, or rather... Xiao Cui brought her talent to United States (seriously).

It also broadened my horizons.

After that, Xiao Cui will probably use various cities as centers to scatter the Little Sprite all over the world, until they truly cover the entire world.

It's worth mentioning that this time, Cong Yu didn't seem to kill as many people as Xiao Cui... and entrusted her with the role of the executor of "the Judgment Descends".

Xiao Cui, who executed it perfectly, truly understood what she wanted and to what extent she was capable of achieving it.

Xiao Cui, who had always been described by Doctor as "looking at the world from an outsider's perspective," has undergone a significant transformation.

The observation process did not stop, but...

The observation phase has been completed.

It was also at this time that Xiao Cui completed the shaping of the concept of "Xiao Cui" from the perspective of an indifferent bystander.

Who deserves to be killed, and who doesn't?

What rules can be followed, and what rules are worth ignoring...?

Subtly, Xiao Cui gradually began to adopt values similar to, yet with some variations, those of her "Brother Cong Yu".

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Thinking this, Cong Yu watched as the Little Sprite who had taken half a piece of bread from Hong's hand sat on the coffee table and shared it with the other Little Sprite.

At least for now, the Little Sprite seem cute and stable.

There probably won't be any major problems.

"..." As Cong Yu said this, Yaochuan Guang, who had finished torturing Xiao Cui's face, stretched:

"Ha! The holiday is almost over..."

"School starts in a week, and Xiao Cui will be starting school soon."

Indeed, just as Yaochuan Guang said, the holiday is coming to an end... This holiday, for some reason, felt much more fulfilling than previous ones.

Although it was all unnecessary fulfillment...

Perhaps this is what a turbulent spring looks like.

And clearly, it wasn't just Cong Yu who thought this way; Hong chimed in, "Yes, a lot really happened during this holiday."

As she said this, Lao Hong, who always had a knack for jinxing things, continued, "I'm going back to work at Wind City High School. I hope the remaining six days won't cause any more trouble..."

"..." Oh no, could it be that Hong was right?

Cong Yu was somewhat worried.

Chapter 556 Nagashima

Epochal Urban Heating System based on the operation of Spirit Vein.

This plan is crucial to the future of North Capital Energy and people's well-being... even though Erin Grenault is not from North Capital.

The four magical girls, who call themselves "true Anti-King," are not from North Capital... unlike when they were in Southeast Asia.

Wherever his gaze fell, he saw all of humanity struggling.

There has always been a question.

Imagine a windowless, indestructible iron house filled with many sleeping people; they would soon suffocate...

Hmm, I probably shouldn't have asked that question.

To be precise, the difficulty lies in "representing" and "being represented," because people generally don't want to be represented.

It's like if you went to the Britain and said, "The reign of the Saint King was not healthy," the Britain would just look at you like you were a fool.

Everyone knows that the only way for the people of North Capital to avoid freezing to death is to move away.

The Snow Woman had no intention of forcibly keeping the humans.

But they won't move.

In this situation, your proposed solution of "just move" is unreasonable...

What these "Anti-King" do is reach out to struggling humans and pull them out of the abyss.

Those who do not struggle have no chance to be saved.

For North Capital and North Capital people, the path to salvation is neither about replacing the Monster King nor about defeating the Snow Woman.

It's not about restoring the overall temperature in the North Capital to normal.

Instead, it's about creating a "Spirit Vein" heating system that doesn't have to be bound by the current heating system... It's very simple and very reasonable.

It even went too far in terms of being reasonable and realistic.

That's exactly right...

"That's right. We are pragmatists, not idealists... Achievements overnight are not my style, nor the House Greno's style."

"So," Erin Greneau said, responding to her companion's question, "To make the world a better place, step by step, by any means necessary..."

"..." Upon hearing Eileen's words, the newly joined magical girl couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't it great to achieve it all at once?"

Yes, it would be great if it were possible to achieve something "in one fell swoop," but unfortunately...

"We can't do it."

As Semaiebo said this... her hometown had ushered in peace, albeit in the form of being "ruled by the Monster King."

But that's enough, because... it's impossible.

"I know that killing 'Tao Shuyuefa' would be a good option if given the chance... but I'm also afraid."
