"Why does it feel like there are always various festivals going on in this world? It's really full of joy."

Walking on the busy streets, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but sigh. She had been to several worlds with Fang Zheng, but for Shokuhou Misaki, this small garden world was still the strangest place she had ever seen. It seemed that festivals and games were being held all the time...

"Because the Little Garden World originally existed for the entertainment of Shura gods and Buddhas."

Fang Zheng didn't care, but he still looked at Shokuhou Misaki.

"By the way, you should at least get some physical enhancement gifts..."

That's right, this is another reason why Fang Zheng summoned Shokuhou Misaki here. As a superpower user with Lv5 "mental control", Shokuhou Misaki's ability is quite powerful, but the downside is that her body is extremely weak.

So in Fang Zheng's opinion, Shokuhou Misaki should get some physical strengthening gifts to strengthen herself.

However……

"I don't want to. I'm not that woman whose brain is all about muscles. What good will strengthening my body do me? And why should I be so stupid as to stand in front of him? Only that stubborn guy would have such an idea."

That's right, perhaps out of her hostility towards Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki showed considerable resistance to strengthening her body. Of course, considering that she kept saying things like "Your brain is all muscles" and "Your brain is underdeveloped because your muscles are too developed" to Misaka Mikoto all day long, the girl's self-esteem obviously would not allow her to become like Misaka Mikoto.

Of course, it was only at this time that Shokuhou Misaki would show the little awkwardness that other girls of her age would have.

"Well, then at least you should get some magical gifts. Your abilities are among the best in this little garden, but your individual strength is too poor. I've also said this to Asuka. If you only have abilities but can't protect yourself, you'll be easily defeated."

"Let me think about it. Really, the little garden is said to be omnipotent, but I can't even find a gift that allows me to eat as much sweets as I want without getting fat..."

"Even if there is such a gift, you are not the only one who wants it."

Hearing Shokuhou Misaki's complaint, Fang Zheng responded speechlessly.

"After all, isn't this a skill that every woman in the world wants? If Asuna or Eriri knew about this, even if a human brain were to be beaten to a dog's head, even if there really is a gift game with this as a prize, it would be difficult for you to win with your current ability."

"That's true. It seems I need to think of some solutions as well."

After hearing this, Shokuhou Misaki finally frowned and began to think about this problem seriously. Just as Fang Zheng said, the ability she wanted was a gift that almost all women in the world wanted, and there were naturally many women in the small garden. Who knew if any of them would be troubled by this like Shokuhou Misaki?

With Shokuhou Misaki's ability, she can exert her greatest strength in a team battle, but in a one-on-one duel, it depends on the opponent's own situation. Considering that the streets of this small garden world are full of extraordinary monsters that are impossible to see in Academy City, Shokuhou Misaki's cautious attitude naturally has to take this threat into consideration.

"In short, I have also given you a small bodyguard. It depends on how you use it."

As Fang Zheng spoke, he looked at the small figure beside Shokuhou Misaki. When the figure noticed Fang Zheng's gaze, it trembled and shrank behind Shokuhou Misaki in fear.

"...I feel quite depressed to be on guard like this."

"Mr. Fang Zheng, you did it yourself. You beat the guy so hard that his soul was scattered to pieces. What are you still talking about?"

That's right, the one following Shokuhou Misaki right now is none other than the Demon King Spotted Lolita who appeared at the Fire Dragon Festival of "Salamander" before - this is also another gift from White Yasha to Fang Zheng. In fact, according to the "rules of the game" at the time, Fang Zheng cracked the game and defeated the Demon King, so the Demon King would naturally become Fang Zheng's subordinate.

Fang Zheng had not expected that the Box Garden Center was so powerful that it could even call back the Demon King whose soul was shattered by his attack.

However, the spotted loli no longer has the majesty she had when she caused a big disturbance at the Fire Dragon Festival, and her strength has also dropped to the extreme.

Oh, by the way, Fang Zheng and others finally know the name of the spotted loli - Pest. She is the incarnation of the 80 million souls who died during the Black Death in the Middle Ages, the Black Death Spot Goddess. Originally, she was just a collection of evil spirits, but later for some reason she was connected with the "Spotted Clown" in "The Pied Piper of Hamel", and gained the godhood and became the Demon King. However, since the glass that served as the carrier was blown up by Homura Akemi, and the false inheritance was cracked, Pest has naturally lost her original power.

But this is normal, as the saying goes, whitening is 70% weak.

Maybe it was because of the psychological trauma caused by Fang Zheng, but Pest would shrink and tremble when he saw Fang Zheng. He usually just hid aside secretly, just like a little white rabbit kept in a tiger's den.

So Fang Zheng had no choice but to give Pest to Shokuhou Misaki as her maid... Fang Zheng already had Homura Akemi, so it didn't matter if he had one more or one less. Shokuhou Misaki's direct combat power was zero. Although Pest had lost her godhood, she still had power similar to that of a demon king, which was much stronger than Shokuhou Misaki. So letting her protect Shokuhou Misaki was a good use of her.

"Well, I still need to say hello to the people from the Dragon Horned Eagle Lion. You guys can go shopping on your own and bring back some interesting things."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, then turned and walked to the other side, while Shokuhou Misaki also turned and walked towards the festival with Pest. It was still the eve of the festival, and Shokuhou Misaki also wanted to see if she could gain anything.

Soon, Fang Zheng arrived at the lobby of the "Dragon Horned Eagle Lion" Alliance. After giving his name at the reception desk, he was immediately invited to sit in the guest room.

But then again, the alliance is really powerful.

Looking at the six flags hanging in the hall, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Although Tiandao Palace had formed an alliance with "No Name" and "Salamander", it was only an "alliance" rather than an "alliance". According to Black Rabbit, if you want to form an "alliance", you must at least sign an alliance with three communities that have flags.

Judging from this condition, "No name" definitely doesn't count, "Salamander" can be counted as one of them, and the other two... well, it depends on the situation.

However, the formation of an alliance seems to be at least three, with no upper limit. If this is the case, then the strategy of the Tiandao Palace can be changed. It does not need to spend energy to annex other communities to grow stronger, but to rely on alliances to expand its power... Well, but according to Black Rabbit, the higher up the community is, the more it will focus on the overall strength...

From this perspective, these people are still not enough, so why not call Sakura, Nanoha and the others over as well...

“Ugh…!!”

Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, he suddenly heard a low growl like a beast. Fang Zheng came to his senses and looked in front of him. He saw a ghost girl with a big pumpkin head and blue hair with twin ponytails and pale skin standing on the other side of the door. The latter looked at Fang Zheng with a somewhat horrified look.

"You seem to be from the 'will-o'-the-wisp'..."

If Fang Zheng remembered correctly, these two people seemed to be Aisha Ignefast and Pumpkin Jack who had a decisive battle with Kasukabe Yō at the Fire Dragon Festival of "Salamander". After that battle, the two sides seemed to have developed a friendship. Aisha had previously sent an invitation letter to Yō, inviting her to participate in the "Wisp" gift game, on the grounds that "the duel at that time was inconclusive", and Kasukabe Yō also gained a lot at that time.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, long time no see. Thank you for your patronage. I ordered a whole set of items made by 'Willow'. I hope you will patronize us more often in the future."

Different from the little white rabbit who looked like he had seen the big bad wolf, Pumpkin Jack looked more like a businessman at this moment. He floated over with a smile and started chatting with Fang Zheng.

"Because it's beautiful, I need to make more of it to make it look better... By the way, my little girl is also very kind to you. Are you here to participate in the harvest festival as well?"

"That's right, come on, Aisha, say hello."

"Ah, um..."

Facing Pumpkin Jack's urging, the ghost girl with blue twin tails stepped forward, lifted her skirt and saluted Fang Zheng.

"Hello, nice to meet you, leader of the Heavenly Dao Palace. I am Aisha Ignefast of 'Wisp'. Thank you for your guidance."

"Hello, I remember you and Yao seemed to have a good relationship, please take care of me in the future."

"Ah, yes!"

After a few simple words with Fang Zheng, Aixia hastily breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back. At this moment, a voice rang out.

"Welcome, everyone from 'Tian Dao Palace' and 'Wilson'. I am very honored to have successfully invited two famous communities from the lower level to come and show their respect."

Along with this voice, everyone saw a graceful woman with long bright red hair, wearing clothes as revealing as a dancer, with bronze skin and dragon-like horns walked in. She nodded to everyone, then smiled and spoke.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Sarah Teredorek, the leader of One Corner."

"Sarah?"

Hearing this name, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and the latter nodded to Fang Zheng.

"That's right, Mr. Fang Zheng. I am a member of 'Salamander'... originally. Although I have left my hometown now, thank you for helping 'Salamander'."

"It's nothing, just a little help."

Facing Sarah's thanks, Fang Zheng waved his hand. He finally remembered now that according to Mandela, the original successor of "Salamander" should have been this Sarah, but later she left "Salamander" for some unknown reason, so she chose Sandora as the new leader of "Salamander".

But this naturally has nothing to do with Fang Zheng.

"So, Miss Sarah, you asked us to come here... not just to entertain us for the festival, right?"

"That's right."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Sarah straightened her expression.

"In fact, it's about the demon lord, the giants, who attacked the community 'Underwood' in this area ten years ago."
