Chapter 831 - 22: So That Means—As Long As You Have Children...Right?!
"This..."
Under everyone’s watchful gazes, the Supreme God of Fantasy Land, the Dragon God whom everyone is meeting for the first time today, once again displays an awkward yet polite smile.
It seems I have to make it clear...
He pauses for a few seconds, seriously contemplating, and finally makes up his mind to speak: "Those are the three people I wanted to introduce earlier; they’re actually very, very nice girls..."
"Wait! Hold on a second! Why is it still three?!"
The Monster Maiden’s face changes slightly, directly interrupting his speech. Did this guy learn math from the Ice Elf at the Lake of Mist? It seems he’s even surpassed her in absurdity; at least that dumb Ice Elf can manage addition and subtraction within single digits.
How can he be so ridiculous, even getting three minus one equals two wrong?!
Despite a momentary feeling of ominous anticipation, Yakumo Zi instinctively tries to deny it, hoping to ignore this unpleasant and annoying premonition, and wishes the guy just misspoke due to his agitated emotions.
It’s understandable, after all, he just found out he has a daughter. Even for him, it’s surely a shocking revelation. He was startled so much that he couldn’t even hold onto the Moon, letting it slip out of his hand... She tries to convince herself, but the answer has already been given directly.
"As mentioned earlier, there’re already three marriage prospects, so naturally, there are still three..."
The youth with white clothes and black hair blinks innocently, trying to appear as innocent as possible.
"..."
"..."
The scene suddenly falls silent.
The air seems to freeze completely; the atmosphere stiffens, the night wind through the forest stops blowing, as if all the air flows are no longer moving.
The strange gazes from all directions become even more peculiar at this moment, each one is like a sharp knife piercing directly into him. Multiple people’s gazes have changed from complex to even more complicated, as if witnessing something filthy.
Even Yakumo Zi cannot immediately react; the intense impact and contrast made her mind blank for a short time. She stared at this person for several seconds before gradually coming to her senses.
"So... So..."
Under the night, the girl with long golden hair trembles slightly. She takes several deep breaths, her full bosom heaving intensely, and asks, somewhat incredulously, "You mean, now adding Shinki makes it four?"
"Objectively speaking, that seems to be the case... right?"
Gu Mo also hesitates, thinking about it uncertainly, then nods cautiously.
"Then... Then... The three others aren’t people from Fantasy Land, are they?!"
The Demon Sage’s brain seems overwhelmed by the vast amount of information, showing a stiff smile, yet maintaining a trace of clarity and reason. At this moment, instinctively sharp, she grasps the key point.
If even Shinki wasn’t included in the beginning, then does it mean...this despicable guy never intended that from the start?!
"Yes..."
Gu Mo is very sure about the answer this time.
"Can you tell me... when did it happen?" Yakumo Zi asks through clenched teeth, even though she previously had a beautiful smile when she was angry, now it seems a bit creepy.
"Well... actually, it was a very, very long time ago." Gu Mo sighs.
"So it happened a long, long time ago..." the Boundary Demon whispers, but seems not to think so. She glances slightly towards the contemplative Kamishirasawa Keine. In an instant, it’s unknown what degree of Power of Realm she initiated, causing her and the latter’s figures to simultaneously blur momentarily.
"...!!"
The youth with white clothes and black hair suddenly feels a pang in his heart. Miss Kamishirasawa’s true form is the Kamishirasawa, her ability lies in the aspect of history... what is history? From one perspective, the observed fact is history. Regardless of creating or consuming history, one first needs to be able to observe history.
Thus, despite his words being correct, depending on the world line covered by upload records and the altered history, it’s not the case—
If this world has already been affected, then it might truly trace back to such legends. After all, both Ah Xiu and Kikyo are records from the Warring States era. Tamamo no Mae’s encounter, although summoned in the early dynasty era, involved the main storyline of the Seventh Anomaly in correcting history, making this record implicit...
In other words, if Zi can examine specific historical records through Kamishirasawa Keine.
She would find—
"Oh... I see now, guess it must have been during the time period as an emperor then? Guess it wasn’t just aimless wandering, still trying to deceive me until now..."
The Monster Maiden seems to have anticipated it, accepting the overwhelming information shock distinctly, she appears to gradually recover. Just lowering her head slowly, the expression is completely concealed by her hair’s shadow, making it impossible to perceive, her body also trembling slightly.
"..."
"..."
The air falls silent once again.
