Murasame Doesn't Want to Take the Blame Anymore

This puzzled Beng again; he didn't understand what was going on.

Seeing the puzzled look on Dian's face, he didn't finish his sentence, simply saying, "The situation has changed."

As he said this, "Dian" was in a relaxed mood, saying, "The life that this Monster Kingdom gave us has been completely severed."

"Our birth, our future, what can be confirmed at this moment has become uncertain."

"The prophecy of the Age of Monsters and the gathering of the Six Arts can already be seen as the passing of time..."

"The Demon King has been found, and we are now free."

"That is good."

Regarding "Dian's" outburst, "Beng" gave her a speechless look. "What's so good about it... The prophecy has failed, the Age of Monsters can't come."

For Beng, denying this "Age of Monsters" that he had been searching for was indeed a difficult thing.

To this, "Le" shook his head, or rather, shook his head and said, "As expected, you still don't understand..."

The concept of "the Age of Monsters" is something that can be judged from either prophecy or conventional understanding.

These are all things that require the "Demon King" to unlock.

This is naturally easy to understand and perfectly justifiable, but the question is... what does the Demon King himself think about this?

Putting everything else aside for now...

Assuming that "Yaochuan Guang" is indeed an unawakened Demon King, would she be willing to usher in an Age of Monsters?

That's definitely not possible!

Let's assume, putting everything else aside, that they fooled "Yaochuan Guang" into starting some kind of Demon King project... Would Cong Yu agree to that?

That's not allowed either!

Whether it's "music" or "classic," they actually know this perfectly well... The path of prophecy may not be completely blocked, but it's certainly not an easy one to traverse.

It's so difficult, honestly, it's so hard to walk.

The road is rugged and full of Thorn... and the "Age of Monsters" at the end of the road is also vaguely described in the prophecy.

The benefits are unknown, and I can't describe them anyway.

In such circumstances, the weight of prophecy is very low, but prophecy is prophecy after all... and it's possible that one day it might be influenced by others.

Now, the death of "Ji," whom we've never met, is no longer just a death... It symbolizes something quite meaningful.

So good that I couldn't help but roll around on the floor laughing.

Fate is like a web, and living beings are like insects.

The way to break free also lies within it.

Middle.

"..." Lantian Zhu is a fire-type magical girl... that's an undeniable fact, but it's not because she's skilled in fire magic that she's called that.

Just like no one would say that Yaochuan Guang a "Light Beam -type magical girl" or that Xiao Cui is a "summoning-type magical girl".

However, in fact, Xiao Cui can even be considered a magical girl with a "one-trick pony"—that "one-trick pony" is almost too good to be true.

Moreover, the flavor can change automatically, leading to even more incredible abilities... It's not like a simple cheat.

If I had to describe it, the spells for summoning spirits, something that always seems to have new twists and turns with each development, are like a system or a cheat code.

Xiao Cui is also a pure template for the female protagonist in yuri novels.

She could at least be one of the female leads.

What makes Lantian Zhu special is the unique nature of her magic...

Her magic flowed out naturally, manifesting as a blue flame that seemed to burn on its own.

This is quite unique in the history of magical girls worldwide, at least in the recorded history...

There are probably only tens of thousands of people.

At first glance, it sounds like a lot, which is not surprising, but upon closer inspection, it is actually quite rare.

The Kiteflame, the Source Severance -Severing Radiance... and now the Sacred Flame, all perfectly match the magical properties of Lantian Zhu herself.

A kite from the abyss, yearning to sing freely, was bathed in a deep blue flame. It nearly perished in a Radiance explosion, but was fortunate enough to be reborn in redemption.

Just like everything Lantian Zhu has done so far.

It was bitter, it was scalding hot... just like her fate.

"Bump--"

With a forceful flick of his wrist, a ball of holy, spreading flame erupted from Lantian Zhu's palm, igniting the air and creating a sonic boom.

However, it was neither a "bullet" nor a "fire," but an "explosion" that occurred over a very short distance, like the "mini-boost" in KartRider.

The strange people around them were somewhat surprised by this.

Because Lantian Zhu went from starting to read the first chapter of the spellbook to seemingly "getting started" in just one morning.

The efficiency of learning techniques is simply too high.

So, these strange people drinking in the bar began to look at... Cong Yu with eyes of adoration.

As expected of Lady Cong Yu, the magical girls around her are significantly stronger than those of other magical girls.

Dente was quite surprised. She pointed to the "Sacred Oil" in the jar and said, "Wait, I heard that the 'ignition' of the Sacred Flame requires an igniter, right? Actually, it doesn't?"

Oh no, I've been tricked by the teachers in the Inquisition.

"..."

"No, it is necessary. My igniter... is my magic, and my thoughts."

Lantian Zhu shook her head as she spoke, "Just finding a fleeting moment of resentment in my past memories is enough to ignite a flame."

After saying this, Lantian Zhu paused for a moment, then closed the book and thanked Dente and Tereido, saying, "Thank you both for your help."

Before Dente could wave his hand and say anything, and before Tereido could say anything with a smile, Lantian Zhu took out two slips of paper from his pocket.

"This is your payment, please accept it."

Hmm? What's this?

Tereido and Dente exchanged a glance, then looked over with curiosity...

The note read:

[Cong Yu Voucher]

"..."

(Cong Yu: Damn it! That was the one we lost to Yaochuan Guang when we played board games before, how did it end up in your hands, Little Lan?!)

Chapter 578 Cong Yu Doesn't Want to Take the Blame Anymore

Cong Yu Voucher... This kind of thing is the embodiment of the legendary "doing something for you that doesn't violate the code of the martial arts world".

It was a bet that the five of them, including Hong, had agreed upon when they played board games before, and it was for entertainment purposes only.

Lantian Zhu usually spends his time at home watching TV, sleeping, playing games, or using QQ... ahem.

In short, Lantian Zhu, whose hands and feet were shaking from deductions (which weren't actually happening), was naturally unlikely to become the board game champion.

Finally, Yaochuan Guang won the "Wind City Squad Home, Board Game S-Series Champion", successfully lifting the trophy... and becoming a double champion.

A tribute to the legendary player Yaochuan Guang.

It's time to design a Hall of Fame skin for Yaochuan Guang (not really).

In the end, although Yaochuan Guang did not receive the prize money, he did receive two usage vouchers from other people.

This naturally includes Cong Yu Voucher.

But what was truly unexpected was...

"You asked Yaochuan Guang for it, and then she gave it to you?"

Cong Yu asked in shock, her voice tinged with emotion, "You two are really... one dares to ask and the other dares to give."

Lantian Zhu nodded in agreement. "That 'Little Guang how it is with Xiaoguang. She just needs to maintain the composure of the main wife. I have a lot more to consider."

Is there such a saying?

Cong Yu shook his head helplessly, while Tereido and Dente began to examine the crudely made "Cong Yu Voucher" and pondered.

"Things that don't violate the code of the martial arts world..."

Lost in thought, Tereido was completely...

I understand. "To put it bluntly, the only purpose of this 'coupon' is to replace a request... it's actually meaningless."

Yes, Tereido understands this very clearly.

These "usage coupons" are actually similar to sweep coupons in mobile games. You can only use them after achieving a "three-star clear".

But even without coupons, you can still clear stages; at most, you'll just waste some time looking at the battle logs.

This kind of concept is roughly defined by the bottom line and definition of "doing things that do not violate the code of chivalry" and can be adjusted at will.

A passerby holding a coupon and asking Cong Yu for a favor might not be as effective as Yaochuan Guang and his friends casually offering a suggestion...

For the members of the Wind City Squad, the significance of the "Cong Yu Voucher" is simply to provide a substitute for saying "This is my lifelong request."

So Tereido thought it was useless, and besides, she was thinking about something else, "Also, is the 'Cong Yu' voucher only for using Cong Yu?"

Dente: "?"

What does that mean?

While Dente was still wiping the cups, Little Shadow shook her head, puzzled. "I know what you're thinking, but... it doesn't have to be that petty."

Stingy... That's Little Shadow's assessment of Tereido.

Cong Yu thought the same thing. As he looked at Lantian Zhu, whose attention had shifted back to the book, he replied, "I don't use a pseudonym, and I don't play word games..."

In other words, the "Cong Yu Voucher" is not something as narrow as "doing what Cong Yu's human identity can do".

If it can definitely be identified as a "King of Wind City Coupon," then it seems to be somewhat useful.

With this in mind, Tereido readily accepted the voucher as a reward from Lantian Zhu and stuffed it into her pocket.

Then, he reached out to Dente, who was fiddling with the voucher.

Dente: "..."

Dente paused for a moment, then shrank back warily, somewhat resistant. "What are you doing? Can't we each take one?"

Tereido rolled her eyes, looking annoyed. "I've already paid you. This is business, it's not like it's 'one bill per person'... Hurry up and hand it over, or I'll whip you with a dollar."

Ah, that's really true.

Logically speaking, Tereido actually paid Dente for the book, and the money has already been paid.

Later, Tereido gifted the book to Lantian Zhu.

That's roughly the concept of trading.

"Waaaaah..."

There was nothing Dente could do but obediently hand over the "Cong Yu Voucher" that she had just warmed up.

However, Tereido hasn't decided yet what to do with this [Use Ticket].

Cong Yu was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Just then, his phone rang. It was the response from the Monster on Linx about being "anxious" to death—the same one they had discussed before.

[Le: Wow, that's great!]

[Le: Hahaha, that way we can just sell things without worrying about forming some kind of Monster Knights.]

Oh no, the Monster Knights have turned into a convenience store supergroup!

Is this okay?
