The next day, the members of the Makdala Monastery led by Rosette went to a secret base on the east coast with Defoe. According to the information provided by Defoe, that was where the criminals led by Ian were located. This time they went there in order to eliminate Ian's helpers in order to weaken his power as much as possible.

Shizuku didn't raise any objection to this. Anyway, now that Rosette's lifespan had been restored, she could remove Chrono's seal at will. It wasn't like in the original novel, where even if she encountered a powerful enemy, she had to choose between death if she removed the seal and death if she didn't.

Frankly speaking, Shizuku can accept this setting strictly. After all, signing a contract with a demon does consume soul power, and a demon as powerful as Chrono is naturally not something that an ordinary person's soul can withstand. So it is reasonable that driving his power will shorten Rosette's lifespan and thus restrict her hands and feet in front of the boss.

This shows that the previous animations were more logical than the later ones, at least Rosette's case was a matter of life and death. However, in many later animations, the protagonists were full of cheats, but they put their powers aside for some boring reasons like "wanting to live a peaceful life" or "never wanting to get involved in a fight again", and only burst into pain when they saw their loved ones and girlfriends being pinned to the ground by the villains.

Shizuku had no sympathy for such people's plight, and even sneered at them.

What have you been doing so far?

In Shizuku's opinion, these people just have no idea of ​​their own strength. Those stupid protagonists don't seem to understand the principle that an innocent person is guilty of possessing a treasure. They wishfully think that it will be fine as long as they don't use it... Do you think everyone else is blind and stupid?

If you really want to live a peaceful life, there is a rope over there, delete your account and start over.

By the way, Fang Zheng had seen a setting before, which talked about a boy who could transform into a beautiful magic fighting girl, and the weapon in his hand was his OO incarnation. If the weapon was broken, he would never be able to turn back into a man - this setting is much more reasonable than "I just want to live an ordinary and peaceful life"!

At least the audience can put themselves in the story and immediately understand the protagonist's reluctance to fight.

They wouldn't be willing to do that anyway.

Rosette and the others went to fight, while Shizuku took Tamamonomae and Esmaria to Disneyland in Florida and had fun there.

To Tamamonomae, these entertainment facilities of human beings were only slightly interesting, but to Esmaria, this was her first time in her life to visit Disneyland. Whether it was the colorful rides in front of her or the gorgeous and exciting scenery, Esmaria was dazzled.

"Ugh... take a break."

After riding the roller coaster, Shizuku sat on the chair with the two little ones and stretched comfortably. Then she looked at Esmaria beside her with a smile.

"How does it feel?"

“Very, very impressive!”

Having just gotten off the roller coaster, Esmaria's face was flushed with excitement. The girl took a breath awkwardly and then nodded vigorously.

“This is my first time in a place like this…”

At this point, Esmaria looked a little melancholy.

“I think I will never forget this day.”

"This is too exaggerated. If you want to come in the future, I can always bring you here."

Shizuku reached out and touched Esmaria's head, then she stared at the girl in front of her and asked softly.

"Esmaria, what are you going to do when you return to Portugal?"

"I……"

Hearing Shizuku's question, Esmaria's expression suddenly became much gloomier. She lowered her head, looked at the ground at her feet, and remained silent. Seeing Esmaria's reaction, Shizuku raised her eyebrows and then smiled slightly.

"If you don't want to go back, then...would you like to go to Japan with me?"

"……Japan?"

After hearing Shizuku's suggestion, Esmaria looked up at Shizuku in surprise, not understanding what she meant. After all, America was very far away for Esmaria, and Japan, which was on the other side of the earth...she didn't even know where it was.

"It's an island country in Asia, and it's my home now. If you want, I can take you to Japan, and you can start a new life there. Of course, the language and cultural habits there are completely different from those in Europe and America, and it may take you some time to adapt, but I can guarantee that you will be able to have a new start there. And the problems that bother you here will not be a problem there."

At this point, Shizuku curled her lips. The stupid dualism of monotheism is their foundation, but it only applies to the West. As long as Esmaria remains within the sphere of influence of this religion, the power she possesses will definitely attract the attention of all parties in the future. But it is different in East Asia. Monotheism has no influence there. The Tianjin gods in Japan have also been killed by her, and the demon forces represented by the Demon Eye King have also been uprooted by her. It can be said that East Asia is now Shizuku's private land, and no one can do anything about it.

Whether you believe in God or the devil, if you dare to come to East Asia, I guarantee that you will never return.

"And if you're willing, I can find someone to train you and make you an idol singer... I think this is very suitable for you."

"Idol singer?"

"yes."

Looking at the fair and tender face of Esmaria in front of her, Shizuku smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch her cheek. She had also heard Esmaria's songs before. Although they were not bad, Shizuku did not like those Western arias or sopranos. In her opinion, these things were too old-fashioned. Esmaria was only 12 years old, at the age of running and jumping and full of energy. Singing those arias was a bit too old-fashioned.

Of course, from a music perspective, starting to develop in Japan is not a good choice. Although Japanese music has a place in the world pop music scene, the center of music itself is still in Europe and the United States. However, Shizuku believes that Esmaria is not the kind of girl who wants to become a superstar for fame and success. Besides, even if she wants to, she can make one with Shizuku's ability.

After all, Fang Zheng had been an agent at 765, so he was naturally familiar with this aspect.

After listening to Shizuku's story, Esmaria was obviously moved, but on the other hand, she was somewhat hesitant about going to a strange country in the Far East to start over. This was not like coming to the United States from Portugal, where there were people who could speak English to communicate with. If she went to Japan, she would have to learn a new language and a new culture...

"Think about it carefully. I'll go buy a bottle of drink."

Shizuku certainly didn't intend to let Esmaria come up with an answer right away. She touched Esmaria's head again, and then glanced at Tamamonomae who was eating bread next to her.

"Xiaoyu, protect Esmaria. I'll be back soon."

“Woo——”

After hearing Shizuku's instructions, Tamamonomae ate the bread in her hand, burped contentedly, and nodded. Then Shizuku turned and left, leaving Esmaria and Tamamonomae sitting on the chairs.

"Japan..."

Esmaria looked up at the sky and whispered to herself that she had never been there and didn't even know there was such a country. But now, Sister Shizuku invited her to go to Japan... Should she go?

The uneasiness of going to a strange world is naturally strong, but for Esmaria, returning to her hometown is not a good thing. She did not tell Shizuku that her parents died and she was adopted by relatives after that. But her relatives were not kind to her, and even spoke ill of her because of her special power. Frankly speaking, the life Esmaria spent there was not much better than the life Harry Potter spent at his uncle's house.

That was why, when the small troupe came to the village, discovered Esmaria's singing potential, and proposed to take her on tour, the family pushed me out like a hot potato. Even if I go back there now, what can I do?

Thinking of this, Esmaria turned and looked at Tamamonomae beside her.

"What kind of place is Japan?"

“Uh…?”

Hearing Esmaria's question, Tamamonomae turned around and looked at her with her head tilted in confusion - she didn't understand English, let alone Portuguese.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Well, why don't you come with me then?"

"Why?!"

Hearing this voice, Esmaria turned her head and looked forward. Then she saw a man with long white hair, wearing a white windbreaker, brown skin, and glasses, walking slowly towards her with a smile on his face. There were people all around her, but when the white-haired man walked towards her, the crowd seemed to part as if they didn't even realize it.

“You… who are you?”

Looking at the man in front of her, Esmaria couldn't help but tremble all over. She could feel that the look in his eyes when he looked at her was very terrifying. Although the man had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes. They were cold and emotionless. He looked at her as if he was looking at an object.

"My name is Ain, hello, the Earth Walker."

As he spoke, the man raised the corners of his mouth.

"If you don't mind, how about you come with me?"

“…”

"Don't you want to change the world?"

Looking at Esmaria curled up in front of him, Ian smiled slightly. He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

"Think about it, you have obtained the power granted by God, but what have you gained? Aren't all the suffering and sorrow you have endured caused by it? You have done nothing wrong, so why are you being treated like this?"

"...I, I don't know what you are talking about..."

"You know exactly what I mean, Earthly Agent."

As he spoke, the man extended his hand toward Esmaria.

"Come, follow me, together we will change the world... change everything."

“Woo——!”

However, as soon as the man stretched out his hand, it was knocked away by Tamamonomae next to him. Then the little blonde girl stood in front of Esmaria and showed her sharp little canine teeth to the man.

"A cute little dog."

The white-haired man stared at Tamamonomae with an unchanged expression.

"But unfortunately, this is not the place for you to appear."

At this point, the man suddenly stretched out his hand, trying to grab Tamamonomae's neck. However, just as his hand reached in front of Tamamonomae, blue flames appeared out of thin air, instantly burning the man's fingers, while Tamamonomae opened her hands and glared at him fiercely, her nine tails swaying behind her, and the blue fox fire fluttering in the wind, turning into an indestructible barrier.

After all, I am a nine-tailed fox that has been roaming the demon world for thousands of years. I am not inferior to a devil like you!

"snort!"

Seeing this scene, the white-haired man's eyes turned slightly cold. Then he raised his hand and was about to do something when suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"You are so brave, you actually dared to kidnap my sister!"

As he was talking, Shizuku flashed past and came in front of the white-haired man. Seeing Shizuku's appearance, the white-haired man was also stunned and hurriedly stretched out his hand. Then Shizuku took advantage of the situation and pressed his left hand, rushed in, and kicked him in the lower abdomen, knocking him down in the street.

Shizuku took another step forward, stepped on her chest, raised her vinegar jar-sized fist, and looked at the white-haired man and said.

"I have killed millions of gods and become the lord of all demons in the East, so I am worthy of being called Zhen Guanxi. How dare you, a smooth-talking devil and a dog-like thing, act so presumptuous here? Do you really think that I dare not make a move against you?" He pounced and punched him right on the nose, causing blood to spurt out. His nose was crooked, and it was like a sauce shop, with salty, sour and spicy flavors all rolling out.

The white-haired man couldn't get up, and just kept shouting "Wait a minute!" Shizuku cursed, "You bastard! How dare you answer me!" She raised her fist and punched him in the eye socket and brow, causing the eye socket to crack and the black eyelid to move in and out, like a colorful silk shop, with red, black and purple all blooming.

The tourists around were all horrified when they saw this scene and no one dared to step forward to persuade them.

The white-haired man wanted to struggle, but in front of Shizuku, his strength seemed to have completely dissipated. When Shizuku saw the white-haired man struggling, she shouted, "Hey! You poor bastard! I told you not to disturb others, but you insisted on coming here to die. I won't let you go!"

As he spoke, he threw another punch, right in the middle of the sky, and it was like a full-scale water and land martial arts ceremony, with chimes, cymbals, and gongs ringing at the same time. When Shizuku looked again, she saw the white-haired man lying on the ground, with only outgoing air coming out of his mouth, but no incoming air, and he could not move.

"Humph, you are really courting death."

Looking at the white-haired man lying on the ground after being beaten up by her, Shizuku snorted coldly, then waved to Tamamonomae and Esmaria who were standing next to her.

"Let's go and take this guy back!"

Having said that, Shizuku looked at the white-haired man again and snorted coldly.

"You are faking your own death, I will deal with you slowly!"
