Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

“We should leave now.”

Yadome Shizuna stood up from the tatami mat and pushed her glasses up with her palm.

“Alright, has Asagi arrived yet?”

“Yes, Miss Asagi has already started enjoying the hot springs.”

……

“You two, you must work hard this time, understand!”

Inside the women's dormitory of Takagamori Academy, Yondo Yuno sat on a single bed filled with pink, looking seriously at her two disciples in front of her.

“Sensei, can you tell us the true identity of that person now?”

“Could it be that he is the legendary Second Progenitor?”

Himeragi Yukina looked at her teacher with a puzzled expression.

She had not forgotten the conversation a few hours ago, when the Three Sages said that man was a Progenitor.

There are only three Progenitors in this world.

The Third Progenitor is confirmed to be female.

The First Progenitor is male, but the face of the War King is public knowledge worldwide.

The only one unknown is the Second Progenitor.

“No, he is not.”

“He is known as the strongest of all Progenitors, the Fourth Progenitor.”

Yondo Yuno shook her head.

Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka exchanged glances, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

“So the Fourth Progenitor is real!”

The two of them are knowledgeable, but such secret knowledge is not taught in class.

“What do you think a Progenitor would do first if they were resurrected?”

With the intention of testing them, Yondo Yuno took the lead in asking her two disciples.

“First……”

The two girls fell into deep thought at the same time, and after a long while, a voice directly broke the silence.

“If this person has no personal vendettas, the first thing to do should be to establish their own Night Empire.”

Kirasaka Sayaka gave the answer directly.

Yondo Yuno also showed a look of satisfaction.

Compared to Yukina, who is still young and sometimes does not consider things thoroughly, Sayaka is indeed a good disciple, except for her androphobia.

“Not bad.”

“This person's power is extraordinary, but he does not yet have his own Night Empire.”

“No Progenitor would willingly be inferior to other Progenitors.”

“Your mission is very arduous.”

“It is to stay by his side, and if one day, he takes action against this country.”

“You are responsible for protecting the people of this country.”

“Protecting the country itself.”

Yondo Yuno's tone was undeniably serious.

Yumura Makoto's intentions were already obvious in their eyes.

The only difference was the question of time.

(I don't expect much from Yukina, I hope Sayaka understands what I mean.)

“So, from today onwards, you are officially leaving the Lion King Organization on the surface, understand?”

Kirasaka Sayaka was still savoring Yondo Yuno's words.

Yukina nodded her little head.

“I understand, Sensei, I will work hard.”

“Also, Yukina.”

“Look at this.”

After finishing the serious matter, Yondo Yuno reached out and patted the box in front of her, which she had brought in when she entered the room, which looked like a musical instrument case.

“Open it and take a look.”

(So that's what she means?)

Kirasaka Sayaka, who had been pondering for a long time, felt that she seemed to understand the hidden meaning in her teacher's words, so she blinked at Yondo Yuno in shock.

(Good to know, keep Yukina in check.)

Yondo Yuno blinked back in response.

“……”

When carrying out missions, Kirasaka Sayaka had seen those guys who were full of fat and so dirty that she didn't even want to breathe the same air as them.

She had no objection to this possible decision.

At the same time, she also understood why her teacher said that.

After all, Yukina's personality is really stubborn, and if she can't see things straight for a while...

“Tear……”

While Kirasaka Sayaka was thinking about this kind of thing.

Yukina had already completely opened the box, and the contents inside came into her view.

It was a spear with a silver luster and a variable structure.

“Since you are also officially going on a mission, this is what His Majesty the Progenitor requested, and it is also the weapon prepared for you by the Lion King Organization.”

“——『Type VII Anti-Demon Assault Rifle』!”

“Alias『Snowdrift Wolf』.”

Chapter 244 Reencounter Ko城的古城

Lake Kannawa, located in western Tanzawa, is a man-made lake created by a newly built reservoir in recent years. It is also a popular tourist destination for fishing enthusiasts and the Japanese public.

However, what other tourists do not know is that in the deep mountains along Lake Kannawa, there is an ancient shrine that overlooks the entire Lake Kannawa.

And this is the Lion King Organization's secret base, which is not recorded in official records and is unknown even to the top levels of the Japanese government.

Its purpose is naturally to monitor the possible legacy of the Holy Grail here.

Now, in this late night.

Yumura Makoto arrived at this secret base of the Lion King Organization in a special vehicle of the Lion King Organization.

The torii gates in Japan are basically the same, with vermilion pillars forming a gate-like structure.

Such buildings have a special meaning in Japan, representing the dividing line between humans and gods.

It means that stepping through this gate officially enters the realm of the gods.

However, the gods of Japan are really not worth caring about.

And now, at this boundary between humans and gods, an elderly woman wearing a scarlet shrine maiden outfit, with a face full of wrinkles but bright eyes, is standing here.

“Your Majesty, I am Akatsuki Hisano, the priest of this shrine, and I am responsible for welcoming you on your trip to Lake Kannawa.”

“Oh!”

Yumura Makoto responded casually, then his eyes quickly swept over Akatsuki Hisano, and his eyebrows raised in surprise.

“Old lady, you're amazing, you can maintain such combat power at this age?”

His current eyesight can be said to be comparable to a scanning professional instrument. For existences like Akatsuki Hisano, he only needs to take a look to understand the general situation.

He can clearly perceive that under the loose shrine maiden outfit, there is a solid flow of huge spiritual power and strong muscles.

This old lady maintains combat power that is not inferior to the Three Sages.

“Ms. Akatsuki has only retired, in fact, Ms. Akatsuki served in the Lion King Organization forty years ago under the name of 『Idler』.”

Amabane Sena took the things that Yumura Makoto gave to Yadome Shizuna in the afternoon and went to set them up near Lake Kannawa.

Now, the only one following Yumura Makoto is Yadome Shizuna.

“That was a long time ago, I am just a retired idler now.”

Akatsuki Hisano pursed her lips and replied calmly.

“Rather than that, Your Majesty, would you like to experience the special hot springs here first? Dinner will need to wait a little longer to be prepared.”

“That's fine too.”

……

This is a very simple natural hot spring.

There are no artificial traces, purely natural hot spring eyes opened in the mountains, and everything is filled with nature.

Because of this, the smell of sulfur here is very strong.

“Hoo——!”

Soaking his whole body in the hot spring water with a temperature of up to 50 degrees Celsius, the warm feeling on his body also relaxed Yumura Makoto's nerves a lot.

Normally speaking, such a temperature of hot spring is difficult for ordinary humans to accept.

After all, for the human body, the optimal water temperature is about 35 degrees to 45 degrees Celsius.

But those who can enjoy this hot spring are not ordinary people.

This water temperature is just right for them.

For Yumura Makoto, it is even more so. Even a scorching 100 degrees Celsius water temperature is no different from taking a warm bath for him.

“I wonder if those guys will come tomorrow. If they come, I will save a lot of trouble.”

“Let me think, what else is there to do next.”

Yawning, leaning on the boulder behind him, Yumura Makoto also began to daydream.

“Oh, that's right.”

“There's also the Whispering Garden that Khadath mentioned.”

Whispering Garden!

A barrier constructed in another world, the highest council of the Sanctuary Treaty Organization.

A dim space, with a scarlet round table in the center of the garden, with twelve seats set up. Three of them are the Three Great Progenitors, and the remaining nine are the heads of the nine countries selected by the Sanctuary Treaty member states.

Everyone's true face is covered by a silver mask, and the whispering that changes the pitch with magic cannot recognize whose voice it is. The Progenitors have the power of veto.

When he defeated Khadath, he obtained Khadath's promise.

When he obtains enough territory, Khadath will apply for the Whispering Garden and cast a vote for him.

This is helpful to some extent for him to tamper with this world.

Otherwise, he would really be too lazy to do such a thing.

“However, if they don't do anything stupid themselves, then forget it.”

“Anyway, the area of Itogami Island can be expanded about the same.”

His current power is evolving every day, but the speed of evolution has not been fast enough to that point.

So if he wants to start a war, he must have a legitimate reason, and he must stand on the moral high ground.

Otherwise, if he acts arbitrarily, he is likely to attract an attack from the Sanctuary Treaty Organization army.
