People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 594 Goro: It doesn't matter which god it is, as long as they can protect me from being exposed...

"."

"."

Silence, an indescribable silence.

In a room of the castle tower, a "Miss Sheena" who had been invited stood frozen in place, staring stiffly at her reflection in the mirror.

The wooden box was opened, and the clothes hanging on the hanger resembled the embodiment of some wicked fox.

Even though he had agreed to it, Goro couldn't imagine what it would be like to wear it, given its unusually daring design.

"—Miss Hina, are you ready?"

"The meet-and-greet is still a while away, would you like me to fix your hair and makeup?"

? ? !

Its fur stood on end, and its already drooping tail instantly straightened.

It's already hard to accept that he only appeared once; what if his identity were exposed to someone other than that evil fox?
It was almost an instinctive reaction to survive, and one could already imagine the hellish ending.

Goro, who was struggling to survive, picked up a pen and paper matching the "Miss Hina" design and quickly wrote "Thank you, I can do it myself" before slipping it through the crack in the door.

"."

"Huh? Really, you don't need to?"

"Hmm, alright. Someone as popular as you, Lord Miyaji probably already found a more professional candidate for you."

Somewhat puzzled, the makeup artist, who often styled the teachers at Yaedo, picked up the note slipped through the crack in the door and tilted her head, understanding what Ms. Hina meant.

Having spent a long time at Yaedo, I've seen countless strange people, and I think that not speaking is probably a requirement of the character's persona.
The makeup artist, leaving politely, looked forward to the afternoon's meet-and-greet while also admiring the beautiful handwriting on the note, thinking that Miss Hina must be a great beauty.
"."

"What should we do? Is it too late to escape? But everyone on Haizhi Island and the soldiers are eagerly waiting."

I've agonized over similar questions countless times, but each time I stayed because I didn't want to disappoint my hard-won supporters.

According to the evil fox, it wrote letters to alleviate everyone's psychological problems, but ultimately couldn't reply to everyone. However, just one appearance could have a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold effect.
"But what if we're exposed, Lord Coral Palace, and those former team members?"

Goro briefly imagined what would happen if his former subordinates on Haigi Island found out about his identity. He couldn't even bear to imagine the scene where his image would be completely shattered.

If everyone who had spent so much time with him knew that he was Miss Sheena.
"."

Cardiac arrest,

Knowing there was no way out, he looked at the dark green dress in front of him that clearly belonged to a gentle and intellectual older sister. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to put it on.

"Ugh, why do foxes even exist in this world?"

"If only we could go back to the beginning."

Following the "friendly reminder" included with the package, Goro put on this incredibly awkward outfit. Looking at the cute pink fox pattern on the notepad, he just wanted to run away at the speed of light.

Following the steps one by one, I put on the ornaments and belt.
Other issues are fine, but the design of this outfit is just too...
After glancing at the character art in front of him and then at his own figure,
Knowing the vast difference between the two, Goro turned to look at the instructions on the note for calling the "Final Episode Makeup Artist" and suddenly realized something terrifying:

"If I do exactly as that evil fox says this time, not only will more people know my identity, but if she makes me appear again next time..."

She vaguely realized that she had fallen into a series of traps, and that from the moment she changed her pen name to "Miss Sheena," there was no turning back.

Unless Miss Sheena and Goro's identities can be completely separated, and there is some decisive evidence that makes it impossible for anyone to believe the fox even if he tells others, their future lives will be in jeopardy.
Looking up at the sliver of light filtering through the crack in the door, his fear of foxes reached its peak. He could foresee everything that was to come, yet he had absolutely no means of countermeasures.
"Lord Coral Palace, is there any chance for me to escape?"

"I don't care which god it is, as long as they can protect me from being exposed, I'd be willing to do odd jobs for them for the rest of my life."

I'm unwilling to give up completely and accept a future where I'm at the mercy of that evil fox.
Having lost all hope, Goro looked up at the sky, desperately praying that some unknown deity would hear his prayers and help him escape his current predicament.
"."

"As expected, there's still no way. Ugh, how could any deity possibly respond to such a wish? I can only contact the makeup artist that evil fox prepared, and then..."

？ ！！

"Huh?! What is this?"

Suddenly, I felt an unfamiliar power within me, and many green dots of light suddenly appeared in my previously empty field of vision.

I find it hard to believe a certain guess I had.
Following his instinctive reaction, Goro looked up and stared in disbelief at the emerald green Eye of God floating before him.
And the moment he grasped this Grass-attribute Eye of God, his vision seemed to slowly rise.
"."

"Tsk, that's too tragic. I'm too old to watch this."

"As expected of Inazuma's fox spirit, I can already foresee what's going to happen next."

Someone set a trap for you, left you with leverage, and then gradually crossed your bottom line.
If things really develop as that pink-haired fox predicts, then Goro probably won't have any chance to turn the tables until she runs out of amusement.
???

"Huh? What are you talking about? Why does this feel weird?"

"Was there any unexpected event I was unaware of regarding that power just now?"

Nasita was out with her sage at the festival when she suddenly noticed that he had stopped and sent a burst of power into the distance.

Even though the other person was the youngest among them, what they just said was somewhat incomprehensible.

"No, it's nothing, just helping victims who are already in dire straits to find a way out."

Lin Feng turned his gaze away from "Miss Hina," who had changed completely in the distance, and waved his hand with a smile, indicating that Nasita didn't need to worry about it.

"Creating a way out?"

"But what kind of desperate situation would require the power to change one's form? That's something we rarely need to use under normal circumstances, right?"

I possess this ability myself, derived from the knowledge shared by the former Kusanagi family members.

Although his sage's version was far more advanced than his own, if the goal was to save someone, it was clearly more direct to use an attack-like method.
"Heh, wait a moment, I'll keep it a secret for now." "You'll find out where this power has been used once an event starts this afternoon."

Looking at the few portions of "fried tofu" he had placed in his storage space, Lin Feng already planned to go to the scene to arrest a certain pink-haired fox who was there to admire the fruits of his persecution.

Just as criminals often return to the crime scene, Lin Feng, who knew this guy's personality very well, was certain that the other party would be watching Goro in a very conspicuous place.

".?"

He tilted his head, full of questions, his emerald green eyes almost overflowing with doubt.

Narcida sensed something was amiss about the aura surrounding her sage, and had no idea who he was setting a trap for.
"Miss Sheena is almost here! Please keep your discipline!"

"—Remember the mission of our 'Miss Hina Fan Club': We do not forbid showcasing Miss Hina's charm to others, but we absolutely must not cause distress to Miss Hina herself or any other unrelated person!"

At the celebration, in front of the Yaedo booth.

Even though the event was still quite some time away from starting, a large number of Ms. Xina's fans had already gathered here in droves.

Aside from the burly oni youth standing a head taller than everyone else, holding a support sign, the most eye-catching figure was undoubtedly "Lord Miyaji" with pink fox ears at the edge of the field.

"Wow, it's quite lively here. I didn't expect you to come, little one. This is really rare."

Ignoring the stares directed at her from the side, she focused on chatting with Xin Hai beside her.

Recently, Yae no Miko has genuinely helped A-Ying with a lot of work. Having not been able to slack off for a long time, she smiled and looked forward to the long-awaited fun that was about to unfold.

"Understanding public opinion is an important part of decision-making. 'Miss Hina' has been getting a lot of attention lately, so naturally I had to come and take a look."

Without beating around the bush, he succinctly stated his reason for being there. Looking at the Eightfold Divine Child before him, Xin Hai asked in return:
"I don't know much about this meeting. But you, Yae Miyaji, seem to have anticipated the current situation?"

"There aren't many things that can interest you. Is there something special about this meeting?"

I've been so busy lately that I haven't even had a chance to read much of the military books I used to relax when I was tired.

Having never joined any of those strange fan clubs, Xin Hai's understanding of Ms. Xin Na mainly came from promotional posters and various grassroots activities.

"What's special about it? That depends on your definition of 'special'."

"But there's no need to hide it, I'm really looking forward to this meeting."
After all, both Yaedo and I, the editor-in-chief, have put in a lot of effort for this event.

Looking at the sea of ​​thoughts before her in a clearly good mood, Yae no Miko was somewhat looking forward to Goro's reaction to seeing her here.

The job of a palace official is so boring that it's hard to keep going without finding some fun.

The past was good, but for some reasons that cannot be said, I have recently made a series of mistakes, and even Ah Ying has been instigated to be difficult to bully.

Rarely able to rediscover that familiar feeling from the past, Yae no Miko decided to use her magic to record all of Goro's reactions in a moment.

"."

He remained silent for a moment, without replying immediately.

Having spent enough time with the other party, Xin Hai was not unfamiliar with the behavior of the Eightfold Divine Child in front of him.

In the past, whenever she showed a similar expression, it meant that someone was about to be in trouble. This feeling of excitement was definitely not good news for others.

"Sigh, it's a pity my Ah Ying isn't here. I think she's the one who needs to go out and have a stroll the most."

"She used to often ask me to have desserts together, but lately, besides assigning me work, the only thing she's asked for my help with is teaching her how to deliver gifts to other people."

With a hint of barely perceptible regret in her tone, Yae no Miko felt that ever since A-Ying caught her that time, she could never go back to the dazed and foolish way she used to be when she was deceived.

According to the report we just received, Goro did not contact the ninjas of the Final Chapter to help him with his physical appearance and makeup, clearly because he did not want more people to know about him.

But if he doesn't do that, his physical flaws will be unavoidable. Now it all depends on how many surprises this little guy, Goro, can bring him.
"Miss Sheena is coming! Everyone, please keep order!"

"—Remember our rules, and don't frighten Miss Sheena with your enthusiasm!"

My thoughts were interrupted, and a speech, filled with excitement yet tempered with restraint, came from the fan group beside me.

For the sake of reusability of the amusement, Yae no Miko had already planned to use her magic to cover things up if things went wrong. After all, she couldn't keep bringing up the matter of leverage, as long as she could make Goro owe her a little more favors.
Looking up, he was quite interested in finding out how many flaws Goro had revealed, and he planned to tell him about them later to observe Goro's reaction.

But just as the figure who stepped out of the carriage ascended the platform,

Suddenly, a "Miss Sheena" who was so perfect that she couldn't be more perfect appeared in front of them, and a few question marks appeared above the head of the pink-haired fox who had created this virtual character.

"."

"Thank you all for your support. I'm sorry I'm a little late; I'm actually not very good at these kinds of situations."

At the front of the booth, "Miss Xena," dressed in a dark green dress with brownish-yellow hair accented by a streak of white, appeared somewhat reserved.
Like someone you rarely see, his emerald green eyes held just the right amount of tension.

"I don't think I did anything remarkable; I just offered some words of comfort to everyone fighting against monsters."

"There is very little I can do; the final victory in this battle depends on everyone's efforts."
However, since everyone is willing to support me, please come up and receive a gift.

"."

Her voice was clear and gentle, undoubtedly a female tone. Her ears and tail twitched slightly, and her overall appearance was flawless.

Son of God:? ? ?
They couldn't find the slightest flaw. Miss Hina in front of them was like a perfect replica of the promotional poster, and she had no connection to Goro at all.

If that were all, it would be one thing, but seeing that the other party actually used the green Eye of God beside them to create flowers as gifts for their supporters,

Completely unaware of what was happening, the divine child was filled with questions. Because of the feeling of being watched from behind, she suddenly had a familiar ominous premonition.
