• Rujierd said the Superd still faced persecution and vowed to clear their name as the last surviving warrior of his race.

Cui Ciyou decided to travel to Fitoia Territory with Alice and Sylphy, and Rujierd offered to escort them. When the group discussed the danger of Rujierd entering Old Kishirisu City, Cui Ciyou proposed a way to conceal his Superd features and help people discreetly.

• Cui Ciyou, Alice, and Sylphy agreed to head for Fitoia Territory, and Rujierd volunteered to escort them.
• Rowin warned that Rujierd’s distinctive appearance and reputation as Dead End would make it difficult for him to enter Old Kishirisu City.

• Rujierd and Rowin praised Cui Ciyou as a genius, and Cui Ciyou thanked them awkwardly.

Cui Ciyou learned from Roxy’s parents that she had been unable to use telepathy, leaving her isolated among the Migurdia and driving her to seek a place in the wider world. After hearing why Roxy had stayed away for more than twenty years, he resolved to help her and asked Rowin to find the Village Chief.

• Cui Ciyou asked Rowin and Rokari to tell him about his teacher, Roxy.

• Cui Ciyou resolved to help Roxy and asked Rowin to find the Village Chief.

Cui Ciyou explored Migurdia Village and learned how its people survived on hunting and poorly growing Magic-Eating Grass in the Demon Continent’s barren, magic-stagnant soil. He realized his Magic Nullification ability might improve the soil and decided to test it, hoping to help Roxy’s hometown.

• Cui Ciyou walked through the village at dawn, observing its turtle-shell houses and the Migurdia women and children while the men hunted.
• He examined the village’s struggling fields and sensed stagnant magic power in the dry, compacted soil.
• Cui Ciyou recalled that the Migurdia relied on communal hunting and meals of Great King Land Turtle meat and bitter Magic-Eating Grass.
• He considered how the Demon Continent’s harsh conditions left many Demonfolk at risk of starvation.
• Cui Ciyou wondered whether his Magic Nullification ability could clear the soil’s magic stagnation and decided to begin with a small-scale experiment.

Cui Ciyou offered to improve the Migurdia village’s farmland and teach irrigation in exchange for making the Demon God Tongue compulsory for children, hoping Roxy would feel welcome if she returned. Village Chief Rocks accepted, and the chapter ended with Rowin angrily rejecting Ciyou’s teasing attempt to call him father.

• Cui Ciyou asked Rowin to take him to Village Chief Rocks to discuss the village’s future and Roxy.
• Cui Ciyou explained that he could use Magic Nullification to clear magic stagnation from farmland and teach villagers Water Magic for irrigation.
• Cui Ciyou asked Rocks to promote the Demon God Tongue so the children would not rely solely on telepathy and could communicate beyond the village.
• Cui Ciyou said he wanted Roxy to feel less isolated and argued that language skills could help all Migurdia children engage with the outside world.
• Rocks accepted Cui Ciyou’s offer and made learning the Demon God Tongue compulsory for village children, naming him an honored guest and teacher.
• Cui Ciyou teased Rowin by asking whether he could call him father-in-law, and Rowin angrily insisted that he call him Uncle.

After spending half a month helping Migurdia Village recover its land and establishing language lessons, Cui Ciyou prepared to travel with Alice, Sylphy, and Rujierd toward Old Kishirisu City and the Fitoia Territory. Rowin and Rokari saw them off with supplies and a warning about returning with Roxy and a grandchild, and Cui Ciyou left promising to visit again with Roxy.

• Cui Ciyou, Alice, Sylphy, and Rujierd departed Migurdia Village after promising Rowin and Rokari they would return.

Cui Ciyou, Rujierd, Alice, and Sylphy traveled across the Demon Continent toward Old Kishirisu City, fighting monsters and learning how to survive together. When Rujierd tried to hunt a nearby Demon Wood alone, Alice stopped him and insisted they face danger as companions.

• Cui Ciyou asked Rujierd to stop taking every fight on himself, and Alice and Sylphy agreed that they should fight together as companions.
• Cui Ciyou suppressed a pack of Pax Coyotes’ magic while Alice and Sylphy fought them, with Rujierd guarding them and intervening when they were in danger.

• Rujierd explained that Demon Wood fuel and campfires helped travelers survive the Demon Continent’s dangerous nights, then detected a nearby Demon Wood.
• Rujierd prepared to hunt the Demon Wood alone, but Alice caught his arm and insisted that they go together.

Cui Ciyou tested his Anti-Magic Field on a Stone Demon Wood and instantly turned it into lifeless timber and rocks. The group made camp with the remains and ate their provisions as their journey continued.

• Rujierd led Cui Ciyou, Sylphy, and Alice to a Stone Demon Wood among the stone pillars.

• The group built a campfire, ate Rowin's provisions, and settled in for the night.

Cui Ciyou and his companions reached Rikarisu Town, also known as Old Kishirisu City, and prepared to disguise Sylphy and Rujierd before entering. They concealed Sylphy’s green hair with dye and Rujierd’s forehead gem with bandages, leaving them ready to approach the guards.

• Cui Ciyou used dried Color-Changing Fruit to turn Sylphy’s green hair pale blue.
• Rujierd shaved his head and wrapped bandages around his forehead to conceal his gem, making him difficult to recognize as Dead End.

• Cui Ciyou disguised the group and talked their way past the guards at Old Kishirisu City's entrance.

• Cui Ciyou and his companions searched the labyrinthine streets and settled into an inn run by a spiderlike Demonfolk.
• Cui Ciyou counted the coins Uncle Rowin had given them and realized the city's expenses would leave the group with enough money for only about half a month.

• Cui Ciyou counted his remaining money at the inn and realized his purchases had left him nearly unable to pay for their rooms.
• Sylphy noticed Cui Ciyou's worry, patted his head, and told him she would always stay by his side; Cui Ciyou thanked her and felt better.

• Rujierd watched the commotion and wondered why children liked Cui Ciyou while the Demonfolk children feared him.
• Sylphy recovered enough to hear Cui Ciyou call her a child and quietly insisted she was not one.

• Rujierd drew Cui Ciyou's attention to the angry receptionist, who asked whether they wanted to register a party.
• Cui Ciyou realized the receptionist understood human god tongue and apologized to her in demon god tongue.

• Cui Ciyou translated the rules for Alice and Sylphy and filled out their forms.
• Cui Ciyou asked whether they would need to register again when traveling to other continents.
• The receptionist explained that valid adventurer cards were recognized by guilds worldwide.

• Cui Ciyou placed his hand on the Magic Registration Device, but his Magic Nullification caused its magic circle to falter.
