People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 470 "Wanted: The Blonde Traveler is a Spy of the Abyss Order"

"——Demon King's Arms!!"

Lightning flashed, and the dark power from the abyss suddenly awakened from within.
His strength intensified, his single, dark purple eye covered his visor, and the weapon in his hand transformed into a massive lance. However, even though this was his strongest form, Tartaglia's tone wasn't as confident as before:

——As his most proud move, the Demon King Armor places a heavy strain on the body, but the amplification it provides is rarely matched even by his colleagues.
Theoretically, the opponent didn't have that strange stick in his hand this time, and he no longer underestimated the enemy, so he should be able to defeat him easily, but...
"boom--!!"

High in the sky, the strangely shaped long sword was swung, and a sharp wind blade attacked. The extreme sharpness made Tartaglia's hair stand on end even in the state of the Demon King's armor.
As the wind blade moved forward, all the sounds around it disappeared in an instant. Wherever it passed, not only the air and elements were destroyed, but even the sight seemed to be split in two.

"——Ultimate Evil Technique: Total Destruction Flash!"

Several weapons had been cut off by such attacks before, and he was unwilling to just passively dodge or defend.
Tatalia stepped on the ground with his toes, brandishing the dark purple lance condensed from the Demon King's armed state, and tried to take the wind blade head-on.

"."

"--boom!"

There was a moment of silence, followed by a loud explosion.

He tried his best to intercept, and under Tartaglia's nervous gaze, although the lance, which was blessed with the power of the evil eye and the power of darkness, was slightly damaged, it was finally not cut off instantly like an ordinary weapon, and barely blocked the attack.

Finally breathing a sigh of relief, he recalled their first encounter and felt somewhat bewildered by the current state of affairs.

"Friends, I admit that I underestimated you just now."

“I used to think that I was growing much faster than my peers and that no one could match me in terms of progress.
But after seeing your improvement, I have to say that the excitement of this battle far exceeded my imagination."

"."

After a brief pause, he placed the dark purple lance diagonally against the ground, breaking the opponent's ultimate move. Tartaglia's confidence and fighting spirit returned to him.
"—The same trick won't work on me a second time. Now it's my turn to strike back."

"——Attack with all your might, and your companions can also come together, otherwise you will never have another chance to attack!"

"."

Sensing the other party's overflowing confidence, the girl who was flying in the sky with the help of light wings paused.
Believing the Fatui's executive officer might indeed have a hidden weapon, and not wanting her connection to the Abyss to be discovered, she took a deep breath, determined to win this battle.

"——Okay, I'll do my best. Remember your promise."

"Of course, I said I would help you leave the island. I'm not like some of my colleagues who risk their dignity as executive officers. I will definitely fulfill any promise I make."

Nodding, I was sure that I was in great shape at the moment.
Tartaglia analyzed the opponent's roaming attack style and decided to change his strategy and engage in close combat:
"—Come on! I'm much stronger than you think!"

With a wave of the lance, the dark purple eye suddenly flashed,

Tartaglia stomped his feet and rushed forward. Looking at the blonde girl who was obviously caught off guard by her surprise at his close combat, he was sure that victory was already waving at him.

"boom--"

Smoke and dust rose up, and the figure with broken armor rushed into the street like a flying sack.
The eleventh seat, who had been full of confidence before, had a dull look in its eyes. After smashing a large area of ​​the road and a warehouse storing crystallized bone marrow, it finally stopped in front of several Fatui soldiers.

"."

".My Lord? What on earth is going on?!"

The Fatui soldiers, who had previously believed that their own executive officer was omnipotent, were somewhat surprised to recognize him, their faces filled with disbelief.

".Ahem, I'm fine. I probably just broke a few ribs and nearly died."

"—Help me up, I still have a promise to fulfill."

I originally thought that the opponent had made such a big improvement in such a short period of time because he had done targeted training in long-range attacks and elemental power. His previous close combat, which was slightly worse than mine, must have been his weakness.
But she never expected that her opponent's melee combat improved so much faster, especially her parrying technique. It was as if someone was afraid that she would die. It was almost impeccable.

He only attacked twice, and then the spear he condensed was directly cut off by the unknown weapon in the opponent's hand.

Before he could react, the insignificant "lizard" suddenly grew larger and blew him into the city with a single breath, taking advantage of his unpreparedness.
"Master, please don't move! We'll go find a doctor right away!"

"I wonder what villain dared to attack the Fatui executive officer? We will make him pay the price!"

"No, it's not a sneak attack. I want more."

Looking at the blonde girl who was anxiously flying towards him from a distance, he was about to explain the situation, but before he could finish his words, a feeling of exhaustion suddenly came over him.
After the Demon King's armor was forcibly shattered, Tartaglia's eyes went dark, and he swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.

"——Master?! Quick! Call a doctor!"

"——Damn it! Our camp has been attacked by monsters recently. Sir, you must be investigating the mastermind behind this.

Pass the word down, the one who knocked the young master unconscious must be a member of the Abyss Cult, and immediately request the shogunate to issue a wanted notice!"

fluorescent:"."

Paimon: "."

I didn't expect that the young master himself said to let them attack together, but he turned out to be so weak. He flew all the way here and heard these words as soon as he arrived.

Staring at the Fatui officer in front of him, a certain white-haired creature blinked. Although he disliked the Fatui, he still wanted to clear up the misunderstanding:
"—Don't slander good people! We are not members of the Abyss Cult! We are just participating in a normal competition. Those monsters have nothing to do with us."

"--Roar!!"

???

Before he finished speaking, a large dark crack suddenly opened up.

Sensing the crystallized bone marrow storage point that was smashed by the young master, the beast realm wolves, which had grown several times larger, emerged from the crack.

Under the gaze of the Fatui, who were saying "As expected", and with Paimon and Ying retreating madly with a look of fear on their faces saying "Don't come over here!!!",
These beast hounds wagged their tails around the blonde girl like ordinary dogs, and then attacked the nearby warehouse where the crystallized bone marrow was stored.

"—It's them! They are the spies of the Abyss Cult!

Come with me and avenge the young master!"

fluorescent:"."

Paimon: "." This is terrible. Could we consider silencing everyone present if the island were to disappear?
!!!

"—No! Stop now!"

Just thinking about it in my mind, the next second I found that the surrounding abyss aura seemed to fluctuate violently unprecedentedly.
I vaguely felt that if I continued to daydream like this, I might attract some incredible monster.

Ying, who couldn't possibly do such a thing, froze, realizing that they would probably, possibly, perhaps become wanted criminals as soon as they entered Inazuma.

A moment later, outside the island, on the path leading to Yingxiang Mountain.

The situation has become the worst, and there are no more unnecessary concerns.

Finally, they left the island as they wished. However, Ying and Paimon were not as happy as they had expected.
"——Wow! That bastard, 'Young Master', who doesn't keep his word! It's better to send him to jail!"

"——He clearly said that we should attack together and use all our strength, but Paimon fell down before he even tried his best, and now we are both wanted."

Bombarding a certain impatient guy with indignation,
Even though he put on such a confident look, he couldn't even catch a breath from Fantuan.

Not only was he nearly beaten to death, but it also caused a misunderstanding that was completely difficult to explain.

fluorescent:"."

I feel so unlucky since coming to Inazuma. What's going on? Is someone targeting me? And what about the hounds' reaction just now?
Suddenly realizing that the source of this abyssal aura in me might be truly remarkable,

Not only was she immune to attack, she even felt like she could command those hounds.
"Huh, it's just a misunderstanding after all. Let's see if we can clear it up later. As long as we can see the gods and find a way to explain things to them, there shouldn't be any big problems."

"Also, those things called 'Crystallized Marrow' that the Fatui collected seem strange. They give me a bad feeling, a bit like the remnants of the demons I encountered in Liyue."

We have long known that no matter where these Fatui are, they are most likely not doing anything that is beneficial to the country and the people. All we see now are invaders and destroyers.
Ying thought about her own understanding of them, and her movements froze. Suddenly, she had a terrible idea:

——I'm asking if there's a possibility that the wolves and other abyssal monsters destroyed the Fatui camp because of my own reasons.
???

"Ying? What's wrong with you?"

As I was floating, I suddenly realized that my partner behind me had stopped moving.

Paimon turned around with a question mark on his head, wanting to know what was going on.

"Nothing, I just realized that the Fatui's attack might have something to do with me."

"—Humph, so what? Those bad guys can be attacked, so what? It's better than attacking ordinary people!"

He has absolutely no good feelings towards the Fatui. After this incident, those guys have been completely blacklisted by Paimon.
With just two sentences, he convinced his companions. Looking at Ying's expression of deep thought and then sudden realization, Paimon felt that he was a master of comforting people.

Continuing along the path, scattered houses gradually began to appear on both sides of the road, and the stone fox statues on the roadside also attracted some attention of Ying and Paimeng.

Because both of them could fly now, the pursuers behind them were completely out of sight.
After finally breathing a sigh of relief, Ying paused for a moment and realized that being wanted didn't seem so bad after all:
——The two of them had Chen Ge Hu to live in, and they had prepared a lot of supplies for the sake of caution before coming. In addition, the ordinary shogunate soldiers could not keep up with their speed at all.

As long as you are careful and find a way to see the gods, and explain yourself clearly, you can return to normal life and not really be mixed up with the monsters of the abyss every day.
"Huh, speaking of which, where are we going next?"

"I previously said that Thomas didn't disclose our connection to the Shebuyo to avoid causing us any trouble. If we contact them at the address they gave us, we shouldn't implicate them."

Paimon scratched his head and wanted to go find the only acquaintance they knew in Inazuma.

".A mere wanted criminal naturally cannot have any influence on one of the Three Magistrates.
But the biggest problem right now is that we don’t know if the credibility of the social media is that high.”

Slightly lowering his head, thinking,
After all, the abyss is the mortal enemy of any country. Ying is not sure whether the "Egret Princess" will choose to cooperate with them in the current situation.

“Well, how about we prepare to escape and go take a look?
Everything that has happened so far is caused by this bracelet, and now it is time for it to come into play."

I looked down at the bracelet on my hand that had both defense and teleportation functions.

Paimon felt that so much had happened to get it, it would be a pity not to use it.

".Well, I hope the Society Bugyo can find a way for us to see the gods."

"Based on past experience, as long as we can see the gods, everything will be fine."

I sighed deeply, thinking that I was already extremely unlucky and it was impossible for me to be even more unlucky.
Ying nodded to Paimon and decided to go and take a look at the direction of the society that Thomas had previously revealed.

On the other side, Hanamizaka.

While the traveler team was preparing to seek the gods to clear their grievances, Lin Feng had already been in his new home for several days.

Hanamizaka is adjacent to Inazuma Castle above, and is considered one of the most prosperous areas in Inazuma.

However, due to the presence of large fields and numerous craftsmen, compared to the bustling streets of Kamigatamachi, this place has a more peaceful and rural feel.

As an "idle house" that he had obtained from a certain fox lady, Lin Feng had swept out a lot of fox fur from the corners when he first arrived.
Although he lamented the severe hair loss of a certain pink-haired fox, after looking at the location and size, he tentatively expressed his approval of Yae Shinko's taste:
——The house is of moderate size and made entirely of wood. It is adjacent to a cherry tree in full bloom. The brown walls and roof tiles are neat and intact, and one can smell the delicate fragrance of flowers.

In addition, because the house is close to the White Fox Wilderness in the distance, there is plenty of space and the secluded and quiet atmosphere is also very much to his liking.

"."

Nodding, he glanced at the flower bed in front of the door and the small courtyard behind the house.

After putting in the Inazuma-style furniture prepared by the Tree King and Nashida, he was quite satisfied with the room that he had spent so much time to clean.

Lin Feng had been standing in front of the door for a long time. He admired the waterwheel and fields in the distance for a while and was about to go in and rest for a while.
But as soon as he took a step forward, a crisp sound like summer fireworks, full of energy, reached his ears:

"—Hey, new friend, look here, look here!"

"——I've heard from my dad that there's a new neighbor here. I'm glad to finally meet you. I've already prepared several gifts!"

???

He paused slightly, thinking that the neighbor who greeted him so warmly in Hanamizaka must be someone who matched his memory.
Holding the guess in my heart, I turned back slightly.
Then, under the dancing cherry blossoms and the golden afternoon sun, Lin Feng saw a smiling and energetic girl with golden-red hair and eyes, and dressed in a particularly recognizable outfit.
