Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"Ladies, we are sorry to trouble you. As an apology, we will pay for today's meal. Please move to the VIP room we have prepared."

Yeyue and A Ling looked at each other.

Yeyue looked strange.

It seems that Kanna's background is even bigger than he thought.

Ah Ling was reluctant. She hated being disturbed when she was eating.

Seeing Yeyue stand up, A Ling had no choice but to follow no matter how reluctant he was.

The restaurant quickly became quiet.

The two came to a compartment with greater privacy.

Yeyue waited until Ling had almost finished eating before asking, "Is the Shenna family very powerful?"

"Ah."

A Ling nodded.

Yeyue was helpless. A Ling was really taciturn and would not say a word unless necessary. But he would answer every question, making it difficult for people to complain.

"So what kind of family background does the Kanna family have, Rei?"

"It seems to be some famous family."

"Is it……"

Yeyue seemed to be lost in thought. After spending so much time together, Shennai's temperament always gave people the impression of a rich lady who was not interested in worldly matters. It was just that she was too good at taking care of people. It seemed that she did all the cleaning, cooking, and grocery shopping, which diluted her otherworldly temperament.

But then again, why would a rich girl come and cook for herself?

"A Ling."

"Ok?"

"If I want to add Kanna's line, will I be rejected?"

"will not."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll go back and try."

In fact, I have wanted to add Kanna for a long time, but the other party never mentioned it. And I can see how much Kanna likes me, so I don’t dare to ask actively.

[Kanna's favorability: 0%]

Every time I look at that big duck egg, no matter how gentle Kanna is to me, I feel like I can't get close to her.

Because today, Kise Ryouta added 30 points of favorability to himself, and the points suddenly exceeded .

Yeyue finally felt that there was some free money in her pocket, so she took advantage of the time when A Ling was eating to open the system mall, and then hurriedly closed it again.

Looking at it any longer is a disrespect for your own life.

A Ling looked at Yeyue who was sighing, feeling a little confused.

"Hey——A Ling."

"Ok?"

"Do you think there are super powers in this world?"

"Have."

"Will that allow me to live forever?"

"..."

Ah Ling swallowed the food in her mouth. This question really stumped her.

She knows that there are people with super powers, sorcerers, magical girls, evil spirits, vampires and other strange things in this world, but if you ask her whether there is immortality and whether it is possible to live forever...

I haven’t seen it, so I can’t answer.

Maybe vampires are another form of immortality...right?

It is said that some pure-blooded vampires cannot be killed at all and will be resurrected even if burned to ashes, so they have to nail a nail through their heart, separate their head and body, put them in a human-shaped lead coffin, and bury them underground forever.

"A Ling?"

"Have……"

Give a vague answer, maybe making a wish to Kyubey can also lead to eternal life?

But magical girls will eventually turn into unknown monsters - witches, and then be killed by magical girls. This doesn’t count as immortality, right?

This is a really difficult question.

"So do you want to have a longer life and achieve immortality? Yeyue."

A strange voice sounded in his mind, and Yeyue's hand holding the fork froze.

boom--

The stainless steel fork fell to the ground. Ling looked at her with a strange expression.

Different from his previous indifference, he seemed to know what would happen next, and he was calm and composed, like a bystander watching what happened next.

"Hello, I'm Kyubey. Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl!"

A cute pink and white creature appeared on the window, jumped onto the table with a few leaps, shook its big furry tail, and looked at the moon with its rosy eyes.

"No."

Yeyue stared at the cute little creature in front of her that looked like a cat but wasn't a cat, with a look of confusion and vigilance.

"Why? If Yeyue wants to live forever, asking us for help is the best choice."

When Kyubey first appeared, he didn't expect to be rejected immediately.

"No, I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. I'm not old, how can I think about immortality so early? I just said it casually. Qiubi, you have no emotional intelligence!"

Yeyue waved her hand and held her face with her other hand, looking innocent.

"...Even so, do you have no other wishes? If you sign a contract with me, any wish can be fulfilled. Money, power, love, friendship... it's all fine."

Kyubey was unconsciously acting cute, swinging his furry tail behind him.

"No, the more I look at you, the more you look like a pyramid scheme, and I don't believe in pie in the sky."

Rei nodded in agreement and stuffed a macaron into his mouth.

Yeyue waved her hands. She instinctively distrusted this cute creature. Magical girls protecting the world and fighting against bad guys, she was no longer a little girl who loved to dream.

Fighting is always accompanied by death, otherwise it is just playing house. It is not fair to exchange playing house for a wish of eternal life.

"…If you change your mind, call me in your heart and I will appear. Then please sign a contract with me."

Yeyue and A Ling watched it jump out of the window.

Yeyue turned around and yelled at A Ling: "This is too scary! That strange creature can hear my inner voice regardless of the distance! He must be a pervert. Can I catch him if I call the police?!"

A Ling shook her head. Most people couldn't see Kyubey, but she also thought Kyubey was quite perverted.

"A certain distance."

Ling still vaguely remembered some of the conversations Kyubey had had with him.

“I can only hear my inner voice at a certain distance?”

"Correct."

Yeyue muttered, that was still a bit dangerous.

What if I reveal myself as a time traveler who relies on the favor of others to extend my lifespan? That would be the end of me.

Too dangerous!

"A Ling!"

"Ok?"

"Are there many things in this world that can read minds?"

Ah Ling frowned and thought for a while, "More."

Yeyue was terrified and felt a little suffocated. It seemed that she would have to learn to control her divergent thinking in the future, so as not to let someone read her mind and take her away for dissection.

Unless it is absolutely impossible, I will not sign a contract with such a strange creature.

"Are you and Kanna magical girls, Rei?"

"Correct."

"The first day you met me, the thing staring at me was your enemy?"

"Correct."

"You also signed a contract with Kyubey and made a wish to become a magical girl?"

"Correct."

"What did you wish for?"

Yeyue was a little curious.

What could a simple-minded little girl with no hobbies other than desserts and a completely unfathomable rich girl want to wish for?

"forget."

“… Forgot?”

"Ah."

"What wish did Kanna make?"

Looking at A Ling's self-righteous expression, Ye Yue just wanted to cover her face.

"did not ask."

Okay, okay, it seems she asked the wrong person. That’s right, Ling has never been very curious and has a bad memory.

"How are your grades in school?"

Yeyue was suspicious.

This child learns knowledge, so he won't forget some of it, right?

"Full marks in all subjects. First in the grade."

"real or fake?"

Yeyue was surprised.

"..."

A Ling didn't quite understand why Yeyue was so surprised.

"Would you like to see the report card?"

"Need not."

Yeyue refused, but then became curious, "Do you mind telling me something about you magical girls?"

"do not mind."

And then, nothing happened.

Yeyue sighed inwardly, sometimes it was really tiring to talk to Ling, and she needed you to urge her to move.

"Are there any downsides to being a magical girl?"

"Fight the witch."

"anything else?"

"very tired."

"Gone?"

"It's very troublesome."

"...A Ling, you are really..."

Yeyue covered her head. It seemed that she really couldn't get anything out of this little girl. Although she would answer any questions, she would squeeze them out like toothpaste, and this child seemed to have a different brain circuit than ordinary people.

"Oh!"

A Ling suddenly showed a look of realization.

"what happened?"

Yeyue's heart tightened, thinking that it was Qibi who came back.

"Magical girls, their souls will be extracted separately and made into soul gems."

Rei stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth. "A body without a soul, like a zombie, has no weaknesses and can be repaired. Well - although I don't think this is a disadvantage..."

Yeyue twitched her lips. Although Ling thought so, most normal people would not think that becoming a zombie for no apparent reason was an advantage...

"What are your enemies?"

Yeyue is still a little curious about the dangerous creatures he encountered on the first day he came to this world. If A Ling hadn't come back in time, he would have been in danger.

"Witch."

"What is a witch?"

"The existence of a magical girl who has transformed after her fall."

A Ling took a sip of milk tea and said patiently.

Although Ling only responds to questions I ask and never takes the initiative to introduce himself to others, fortunately he is patient enough and doesn't find me annoying.

After all, it was not her obligation to explain it to herself.

The two of them asked and answered each other, and it took a long time before they squeezed out all the questions that Yeyue could think of for the time being like squeezing toothpaste.

The witch is the final destination of the magical girl. The witch hides in her own barrier and spreads despair everywhere.

Witches have the help of familiars, can confuse humans, and when they grow to a certain level they will turn into witches.

Ordinary humans cannot see witches. After defeating the witch, you can get the spoils - the seeds of sorrow.

The magic girl's soul and body are separated, and she becomes a "zombie". The body is remotely controlled by the soul gem, with a radius of about 100 meters.

Using magic, consuming magic power, and accumulating negative emotions will make the Soul Gem turbid, and it is necessary to use the Seed of Sorrow regularly to absorb the filth.

Yeyue sighed. It seemed that this was really a pirate ship. He would not make a wish or sign a contract until the very end.
