Zongman: Harem's Music

“…” Mikasa remained silent.

"High-sounding!" Ani was the same as always, his words were few but extremely sharp.

Xigong Si smiled but said nothing.

He is neither a romantic nor a realist, but a romantic realist, both materialistic and idealistic, realistic without being tragic, romantic without seeking illusions...

On the romantic side, Mikasa and Annie, one of whom has the [Ackerman bloodline] and the other has the [power of the giant], and Historia, who is not here, were not proven right by him killing his sister!

The realism of the situation made him sharpen his blade and hold the knife ready to slaughter the remaining real prey.

On the realistic side, he handed over the full set of [Six Styles] training to Mikasa, who he could trust completely. As for Annie, who was still in the vague stage, he only taught her [Karate] and [Kendo] skills!

The romantic side makes him confident that he can win Ani's heart and win her heart!

The combination of these two aspects forms his character and image, who looks like a sunny boy but has both sunny and gloomy sides in his heart.

"Have you rested enough?"

Nishimiya Tsutomu stood up and jumped off the tree trunk. "It's time for us to go back. We have to leave for the snowy mountains tomorrow morning!"

Speaking of snow mountains, Nishimiya Siyi couldn't help but become serious in his heart... It has nothing to do with the training corps' courses. For Nishimiya Siyi, snow mountain training is an excellent opportunity.

This is an opportunity that Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who has been in the Survey Corps for nearly seven months but has not yet found any evidence of the "Power of Titans" hidden among the trainees, absolutely cannot miss.

The sword has been sharpened, it's time to unsheathe it towards the first target! Nishimiya Tsutomu thought to himself.

……

Three days later.

At the foot of the Dianyi Snow Mountain in the north of Wall Rose.

In the howling cold wind, heavy snow covered everything within sight, and dozens of training corps cadets wrapped in thick coats lined up here.

"We don't know if the giants will be afraid of the severe cold, but we must be prepared to fight in the worst conditions. Today's mission is simple. Follow me through this snowy mountain!"

Satis's voice was as loud as a bell, and it was enough to drown out the howling cold wind. He continued, "I'll just say this once. Under these conditions, we can't risk sacrificing more people to rescue those who have fallen behind. So!"

"If you don't want to freeze to death on the mountain, don't fall behind. Do you understand?"

……

Chapter 85 Snow Mountain Training (Part 2)

Dozens of students poured into the snowy mountains, and soon... because of the narrow terrain of the snowy mountain forest and the differences in the students' physical fitness, the team was stretched further and further apart...

The gray training corps coats wrapped their whole bodies, and the hoods covered most of their faces... Everyone was in the snow that was up to their calves, with the brims of their hats lowered lower and lower, their bodies hunched, and they took heavy steps with difficulty!

Deliberately slowing down, after putting some distance between himself and the teams ahead and behind, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi approached Mikasa and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Mikasa, I have something to do. You follow the team ahead... Don't worry about me!"

"No, I'll go with you no matter what!" Mikasa was slightly stunned and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Not this time!" Xigong Si's tone was equally unquestionable.

In order to cover up his crime, he will make a big move after he succeeds... If it's just one person, he is sure to get away with it, but if it's Mikasa, it will be more troublesome!

"But……"

"Be good and go to the gathering place and wait for me to come back!" Nishimiya Jiyi smiled and put his hand on Mikasa's head. His expression became serious as he spoke: "For my sake and your own, don't follow me secretly!"

Seeing Nishimiya Tsukasa's firm attitude, Mikasa could only nod: "Oh!"

"Go!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi patted Mikasa's head gently.

At this point, Nishimiya Tsukazu and Mikasa slowed down while the other sped up...

About ten people passed me, and then dozens of minutes passed... I could no longer see any people in front of me, but I could vaguely see two people more than ten meters behind me.

……

"Hrista!"

"Hrista, give up!"

"I don't want it!" He rejected Ymir's advice with the simplest words. Historia tugged at the rope on her shoulders, her head bent. At the end of the rope was a student, frozen to the point of drowsiness, wrapped in a sleeping bag. The groaning continued as far as the eye could see...

Ymir, following behind Historia, looked at the unconscious student in the sleeping bag. "Daz is already on his deathbed. He can't even control his own physical condition, and he's just participating in uncertain training just to get a higher score... Even if he dies, he can't blame anyone else, right?"

"On the contrary, if he moves at this caterpillar-like speed, not only will we be in danger, let alone saving him!"

Ymir said, then added, "So now we have two choices before us. One, abandon Dazi and let the two of us live. Two, let the three of us die together on the snowy mountain."

"I choose the third one. Ymir made a mistake in judgment, and we can both reach the foot of the mountain alive..." Historia said, turning to look at Ymir and smiling brightly: "Ymir can go first, right? I won't cause you any trouble!"

At this moment, a teasing voice came from not far away: "Found it, a rare romantic (idealistic) warrior!"

Familiar voice!

Historia and Ymir looked at the same time when they heard the sound. In the darkness not far ahead, a young man was walking towards them. Who else could it be but Nishimiya Tsuyoshi?

"Nishimiya?" Historia was delighted.

At the same time, Ymir became alert and frowned subconsciously. Why would he be in such a place?

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi walked straight up to Historia and covered her cheek with his hands.

Just when Historia was at a loss for what to do with Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's sudden affectionate behavior, she heard Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's apologetic voice, "Sorry, Historia, please get some sleep!"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi called out to Historia, not Christa, but Historia didn't even have time to be surprised. He only felt an absolutely irresistible drowsiness rising up...

In an instant, she fainted in Xigong Siyi's arms.

The mental pseudo-proposition engraving of [Memory Manipulation of the Power of the Founding Titan] is similar to the effect of hypnosis. Of course, the prerequisite is that there must be physical contact with the person being cast.

"You haven't run away yet. You are as patient as ever, Miss Jaw Titan!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi smiled faintly as he looked at Ymir who was standing aside.

Ymir, however, was not afraid at all: "You are obviously from within the wall, but you know a lot more than I expected!"

Although Ymir's acquisition of the [Power of the Jaw Titan] was just an accident, through the memories of the previous holder, she was able to learn the reason why she transformed from an Innocent Titan to a human, as well as information about the power she accidentally gained.

Yes, it’s called the Jaw Titan!

After helping Historia to the side and placing her behind a tree, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi took off his coat and put it on her, revealing the [Three-Dimensional Maneuvering Device]!

It was not owned by the Training Corps, but was the [Three-Dimensional Maneuvering Device] that he had previously exchanged from the system for 280 points.

"If your confidence stems from your small and agile stature as a Titan and the convenience afforded by these woods... I'm sorry!" Nishimiya Tsukasa turned sharply back to look at Ymir. "I'll accept the [Power of the Jaw Titan] without hesitation!"

……

Chapter 86 Seize!

As Xigong Siyi said this, he bit through the flesh on the base of his right hand.

Bleeding + Clear goal: Eat Ymir and seize the [Power of the Jaw Titan].

boom--

With a roar of thunder, countless golden electric currents suddenly appeared, and a fierce wind swept wildly around. A huge monster was born here riding on thunder, lightning and storm!

"roar~"

With a roar, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who was sitting on the neck of his giant body, controlled the second body and stood up.

He was about fifteen meters tall, with long silver hair, narrow eyes without pupils that emitted a creepy red light, a huge mouth that stretched from his ears, and well-defined muscles that stood out all over his body. There were nine grooves arranged in a spiral pattern on his chest, one of which emitted a faint golden light, while the others were dull.

This is the [Founding Titan]!

In other words, it is the body of the ancestral giant that belongs uniquely to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi.

Faced with Nishimiya Tsukasa's undisguised intentions, Ymir, without the [Three-Dimensional Maneuvering Gear], had no other choice...

boom--

There was another burst of thunder and lightning, and a giant about five or six meters long appeared in the middle of it, with an extremely large head, a well-developed jaw, and an almost obvious bite force.

The giant incarnated by Ymir crawled on all fours without hesitation and fled into the depths of the snow-capped mountains.

Nishimiya Siyi was not in a hurry to catch up. He controlled the giant body, swung his silver hair, crossed his right leg behind him, and squatted slightly.

"Giant Body Shave!"

With his fifteen-meter-tall giant body, he used [Six-Style Shave], stomping the ground frantically nearly ten times in an instant. As the huge dent spread and cracked backwards, his fifteen-meter-tall body instantly turned into a shadow, rushing out like a huge rock rolling down from the top of a mountain...

bang——

Meters-high trees snapped and fell like grass, leaving a huge straight scratch on the snow. In the blink of an eye, Nishimiya Tsutomu was directly beside the Jaw Titan...

Just when Ymir, who had transformed into the Jaw Titan, was extremely astonished, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi controlled his giant body and made a gorgeous turn and kick!

The right leg, with its muscular and powerful shape, bursts out from the air.

bang——

The foot landed sideways on its head. After a dull thud, flesh and blood splattered... After losing its head, Ymir, who was on the back of the Jaw Titan's neck, was equivalent to losing her eyes and ears...

The Jaw Giant's headless body rolled several times after landing on the ground, and only stopped rolling after knocking down several trees!

boom--

The snow from the treetops fell onto him, leaving a bloody mess where half his head had been lost, and steam rose from it...

Even if the giant wants to recover from such an injury, it will take time.

Losing her head was equivalent to losing her eyes and ears. Unable to protect herself in the flesh and blood of the giant's neck, Ymir had no choice but to escape.

"Yeah~"

Steam rose from the neck of the giant, and the flesh and blood quickly dissipated. Ymir struggled to free her upper body from the giant's body... Before she could continue her movements, a terrifying bloody mouth occupied all her senses!

Ymir was torn off half of the Jaw Titan's neck, and he tore a large piece of flesh and blood from the nearby area into his mouth. Nishimiya Tsuyoshi controlled the Founding Titan to chew it in big mouthfuls, and finally swallowed it with gritted teeth!

A few seconds of silence...

Bang!

Accompanied by a powerful heartbeat that seemed to come from the soul, a sudden burning pain in the jawbone and sternum.

……

The training corps gathering place at the foot of the mountain.

A female instructor shouted to a group of students who were only ten meters away from the finish line: "Keep pushing, this is the finish line!"

"Nine hours and twelve minutes, which is a good result considering the weather!" Satis said seriously, holding the clock.

"Phew, I'm so surprised! I didn't expect the snow mountain training to be so harsh!"

Alan, who was among the first to arrive, sat down on the ground against the fence.

"Damn it... my legs are numb from the cold!" Kirtotain staggered to the side and sat down.

"Can't we go inside quickly? It's so cold!" complained Connie, the little guy with the flat head.

Compared to the listless first three, Sasha was extremely excited and said, "The instructor must have prepared some special dishes to reward us, right? Hehehe!"

"Hey!"

Reiner ran over quickly, "Have you seen Krista?"

"As for her, she followed Dazi because he was not feeling well!" Ani said lightly, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Daz isn't here either, and neither are Nishimiya and Ymir!"

"Have you checked the last class to arrive?" Marco asked.

"Have you seen it?"

Amin judged: "Could it be... lost?"

Connie swallowed hard, "Hey, getting swallowed by a storm like this...could kill you!"

Everyone turned around and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance that were being attacked by a continuous blizzard, and their minds couldn't help but lean towards the worst.

……

Chapter 87 Selling stolen goods!

"Aren't you with him?" Annie looked at Mikasa.

He, of course, refers to Xigong Siyi.

Mikasa, who had been absent-minded the entire time, explained, "We got separated!"

"Is that so?" Ani muttered, standing up and tightening the hood of his coat.

Berthold, who had been silent the entire time, couldn't help but speak up. "Hey, Arnie, you're not thinking... Stop kidding! In this kind of weather, you're more likely to get lost in the blizzard than find them!"
