Zongman: Evolution Paradise

First came the moist lips, then Anna's teeth gently piercing through. Her movements were so tender, more like a passionate kiss than a vampire's act.

Jolyne held Anna's waist, letting her suck blood in with gurgling sounds.

This guy likes to sneak off in secret, so this sudden, blatant display of affection is probably due to his strange new talent, [End Watcher].

But can Anna be considered a bad person?

Jolyne thought to herself, somewhat puzzled.

He was pondering what the End Viewer's criteria were for judging "evil people."

Does it only count if it's purely evil, or does it count if there's even a slight element of malice in one's personality?

Anna is ruthless in battle; she can kill even ordinary people without hesitation if it is her Master’s order. However, she is quite kind when there is no conflict of interest.

With this kind of personality, Anna's villainous aspect is equivalent to that of the villainous executives in "Aspiring to Become a Magical Girl," each with their own kind side.

From this perspective, the [Endgame observer]'s criteria for judging evil people are by no means simply those who are purely evil.

Thinking of the Hydra captain next to Liu Fu in the Fate world, Jolyne realized that this talent has a rather broad definition for villains.

"Seriously, they're all S-rank, and the park still can't give me a clear explanation."

After his usual rant about the amusement park, Jolyne patted Anna's tummy, signaling that her feeding time was over; this girl's feeding was simply endless.

After greedily sucking the last drop of blood and using the silver threads of her lips to heal the bite mark, Anna opened her amorous eyes and looked at her Master beneath her and her arm clinging to him. Anna casually straightened her short-sleeved shirt and said, "You suddenly gave me a special feeling just now."

"How does it feel?" Jolyne asked.

He noticed that the gazes of those strange creatures were also vaguely fixed on him.

"I don't know."

Anna stepped off Jolyne and landed on her feet, savoring the feeling from just now, and said, "If I had to describe it, it's a bit like the female lead in a romance comic who gets stuck in a stalemate with the male lead, and then realizes she wasn't being honest about her feelings for him because of the second female lead's interference."

"What a strange metaphor!"

Jolyne tapped Anna on the head, at which point Hanako suddenly raised her hand.

I feel like you've become special.

Hanako said this, and then everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"special?"

Jolyne glanced at Hanako.

"I don't know how to describe it either." Hanako awkwardly scratched the ground with her toes.

Seeing Hanako's shifty eyes and her avoidance of eye contact, Jolyne deduced that she definitely knew something, but she was too afraid to explain why.

The biggest difference between Hanako and the others is that her favorability rating has never been able to break through 90.

Compared to the other ghost stories that openly express their affection for Jolyne, Hanako seems more like a lazy, unambitious worker who enjoys abstract concepts. Her feelings for Jolyne aren't strong; at most, she uses her imagination to create some spellcasting materials when she's lonely at night.

Thinking about this, Jolyne understood what this guy meant by "special".

Anna, Saeko Busujima, Mitsuri Kanroji, Shizuka Marikawa, Medea, Lily, and Esdeath and Jorogumo... For them, Jolyne is the most special person in their lives.

The maxed-out affection level on the [Humanoid Girl Mutual Aid Manual] says it all.

For Hanako, Jolyne and Saeko Busujima were no different from her predecessors.

At most, one person will be in charge of the big picture, and the other will be responsible for the details of daily life.

Just now, after Jolyne obtained the [End Watcher], Hanako noticed that Jolyne had become special.

Just like Anna's analogy, "the female lead only realized she liked the male lead because of the second female lead's interference."

"So the effect of [Final Watcher] is simply to increase charm and speed up the acquisition of favorability?" Jolyne guessed in her mind, then took out the [Human Girl Mutual Aid Manual] and turned to Hanako's page.

Hanako: 87

Jolyne: "..."

Okay, the [End Watcher] talent has more than just the effect of gaining favorability.

Because Hanako's affection level hasn't increased either!

It even dropped a little more than it did two days ago.

Please, you said I've become special, but my favorability rating has actually decreased instead of increased?

Noticing Jolyne's gaze, Hanako knelt on the ground, feigning sorrow.

It's like an employee who likes to slack off discovering that her boss has installed a security camera in front of her workstation. She inwardly roars with indignation, "Why can that book show my favorability rating? My loyalty to my master is as clear as day and night; how can a favorability rating represent that..."

"Get up, you idiot."

Jolyne sighed helplessly and closed the Human-Woman Mutual Aid Manual.

Favorability rating is just data; it's not something he should care too much about.

"Hey, thanks, Master."

Hanako stood up, and Dimi Marie, who was next to her, was about to raise her hand to demand that Hanako be severely punished, but Hanako covered her mouth and pulled her behind her, where they started fighting.

Six talents, nine max-level skills—this is Jolyne at his current level.

Hmm... Jolyne without stacked equipment attributes is definitely considered a blank Jolyne.

"So, why hasn't my first awakened talent, [Stand], been fully awakened yet?"

Jolyne was puzzled.

Two days have passed since the arrow merged into his body, but the question mark after "Substitute" on the player's panel has remained unchanged.

Chapter 335 Return to daily life

Sakurasou.

Monday morning.

It drizzled all night, making the cherry blossoms in the courtyard look especially bright.

Jolyne sat at the dining table, looking refreshed, and was enjoying her breakfast.

Sitting opposite her was Shiina Mahiru, who had come to invite Jolyne to go to school together, but was then pulled in by Kanroji Mitsuri and sat down at the dining table.

"Not to your liking?"

Seeing Shiina Mahiru eating in small bites, Jolyne put down the weekly magazine she had gotten for free and asked.

"No, it's more accurate to say it's delicious."

Shiina Mahiru was wearing her school uniform, her flaxen hair was carefully styled into a cute hairstyle, and because she had changed into indoor shoes, her toes, which were covered by black pantyhose, were shyly exposed to the air.

The soft bread is exceptionally sweet, and the taste of it is pure bliss.

However, this happiness left Shiina Mahiru with a slightly uneasy feeling. She turned to look at Kanroji Mitsuri, who was busy in the kitchen.

She just opened the oven, letting the golden light and aroma fill the air.

"Is this also an extraordinary power?"

Shiina Mahiru was absolutely certain that her culinary skills were at the pinnacle of what ordinary people could achieve.

Just a few days ago, I was able to guide Kanroji Mitsuri in making modern desserts, but today I was completely defeated by the honey bread that Kanroji Mitsuri baked so casually.

"Don't worry about those things, Mahiru's cooking is already very delicious."

Seeing that Shiina Mahiru was troubled, Jolyne offered her some rare words of comfort.

Skill Book - Glowing Cuisine

Description: Pre-made dishes, enabling direct mastery of the ninth major cuisine among the other eight.

Effect: Infuse love into the ingredients, then use your hands to create a luminous and blissful dish.

Usage conditions: Wear sunglasses when opening the lid.

Last night, Jolyne spent 1500 Paradise Coins to buy the skill book for Glowing Dishes from the Paradise. After using it on herself, Jolyne extracted the skill into an Ability Seed through the Workshop and fed it to Mitsuri Kanroji.

This was both something that had been decided beforehand and preparation for the next game.

To become a professional captain, one needs to be a highly skilled crew member, one of whom is a cook. However, a cook of average skill level is not considered "excellent".

Only exceptional culinary skills can meet the job requirements.

As for why I bought the glowing dishes instead of the food battle dishes?

Mitsuri Kanroji is already preparing for the opening of her dessert shop at the Shikagami Shrine. Jolyne and she don't want to see customers suddenly have their clothes ripped off in the shop.

Moreover, the level of drugs added to the food might even attract interviews from comedians on TV shows, ultimately resulting in amazing restaurant reviews such as "delicious to the point of explosion" and "a senile old man experiencing a second spring."

"I know."

Shiina Mahiru shook her head and then made a cute gesture to cheer herself up. She didn't need to compare herself, an ordinary person, with the players.

"Hmm." Jolyne didn't say anything more.

After breakfast, Jolyne prepared to go to Soubu University with Shiina Mahiru.

Hachiman Hikigaya also finished his third game on Friday, seemingly having obtained something and wanting to contact him and Yukino Yukinoshita to handle it.

Yukino Yukinoshita also has many things she wants to tell herself.

And then there's Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, who haven't come to collect that white letter yet...

It can only be said that there is still a lot to be done about Jolyne.

However, these things are no longer dangerous, and we have entered a peaceful daily life.

"By the way, after graduating from university, does Jolyne plan to pursue further studies, or will she do something else?"
