For Aoko, this nightmare-like photography session lasted for a whole hour. What made her collapse even more was that Yuzu got involved later on!!
And her reason was actually...
"Recently, Aoko, you’ve been a bit lazy with your magecraft studies. This might be a good opportunity. Let’s do this, if you can’t complete your assignnts on ti in the future, I’ll distribute these photos at your school."
Hearing this, Aoko felt like dying...
"Just you wait!!"
After the shoot was over, Aoko, having changed her clothes, angrily glared at Fang Zheng.
"One day, one day I’m going to get back at you, to show you what I’m made of! At that ti, I’ll strip you and take pics of you naked! You rember that! I will never give up!!"
"You’re always welco."
However, Fang Zheng naturally didn’t take Aoko’s outcries seriously.
"But next ti, if you lose, I won’t just take photos... Maybe I’ll have you wear cat ears and a tail for a walk in the park."
"Uu..."
Hearing Fang Zheng’s words, Aoko’s face turned instantly red.
"Shaless, utterly shaless!"
"Or are you wanting to do sothing even more shaless? If that’s the case, you better be ntally prepared, because it might hurt a bit."
"Of course not, you little kid, how do you know so much strange stuff!"
"Because I’m the Akina Mountain pro, I can drive an 86 with one hand without going into the drainage ditch."
Even though she didn’t understand what Fang Zheng ant, Aoko obviously realized that this seemingly frail and cute little girl was actually a terrifying figure inside. So she went straight back to her room to practice magecraft— because if she didn’t complete her assignnts within the specified ti, Yuzu would really throw those unspeakable photos to the school!
At that ti, her reputation as the "President of Iron Student Council" would be completely ruined!!
Humph, just try and challenge .
Seeing Aoko retreat in defeat with a resignation card hanging high, Fang Zheng let out a pleased chuckle, then sat back on the sofa and casually picked up a cup of tea. At this mont, Fang Zheng noticed Yuzu, who had been sitting on the sofa reading, get up, put down her book, and then walk to the door to grab the coat hanging on the rack.
"Where are you going so late?"
Seeing Yuzu looking like she was going out, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but be surprised.
"It’s about to snow, it’s not good for a girl to go out alone at night."
"I have so things to do."
Yuzu replied indifferently, then turned around and left.
"I’ll leave Aoko to you."
"... You really trust , huh."
Watching Yuzu’s departing figure, Fang Zheng was speechless. Her transformation would be complete in four or five hours. But honestly speaking, Fang Zheng truly felt a bit intrigued by these two girls, especially this girl nad Yuzu, since he had no understanding of what she was thinking. She seed to be living with a Buddhist-like tranquility, knowing full well that this place was a magician’s base. According to the intel Fang Zheng had from playing the FATE ga, a magician’s base should usually be strictly guarded and off-limits to outsiders.
But he’d only known them for less than a day, and he’d already stripped Aoko naked for artistic photography, yet now she was just leaving him here so trustingly to go out?
Was she confident in her defenses? Or did she trust Fang Zheng’s character?
Fang Zheng couldn’t figure it out, so he decided not to think about it, casually turning on the TV to watch so programs. Incidentally, he originally intended to contact Fiore and others through the terminal to check on the current situation. But Fang Zheng thought better of it, realizing he hadn’t solved her leg problem yet, he felt embarrassed to reach out. Although Fiore was a well-educated lady and likely wouldn’t bring it up proactively, Fang Zheng still felt uncomfortable...
He had clearly said that after the Holy Grail War he’d find a way to heal her legs, but now he hadn’t found a suitable thod at all... and he had no clue if Mirune and Lulana had made any progress researching the catalyst from Resident Evil.
Considering that the young lady was still working tirelessly, Fang Zheng felt even more embarrassed to et her.
This era’s Earth technology was considerably backward, without even a simple LCD monitor, and computers used bulky CRT displays. The TV at Yuzu’s ho was naturally an old model too, but it brought Fang Zheng a bit of childhood nostalgia. He turned on the TV, watched so drama, then heard a series of rapid footsteps outside, followed by the "clang" of the front door opening. A breathless Aoko burst into the room.
"Yuzu, I’ve completed my assignnt!! Eh?"
Seeing the red ponytail watching TV, Aoko paused.
"Where’s Yuzu?"
"Who knows, she said she had sothing to do and went out, maybe for a walk."
Fang Zheng put down the remote, yawned, and looked at the clock. In a few more hours, the transformation limit would be lifted. Fang Zheng planned to find a place to hide before then, as he wasn’t sure if his transformation would automatically lift at the ti or if he could freely undo it. If it was the latter, that’d be fine; if the forr... then Fang Zheng definitely couldn’t let Aoko see him.
Otherwise, she might really try to kill him.
"Yuzu... went out?"
Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s answer, Aoko furrowed her brow. She wanted to say sothing but ended up saying nothing as she returned to her room. Fang Zheng then stretched lazily and stood up.
"Hmm, well, I should also..."
"———————!!"
Just at that mont, a scene rapidly flashed before Fang Zheng’s eyes.
The snow-covered ground, a black-haired girl lying on it, and the flowing blood...
"Future Sight, huh? Looks like there’s trouble."
Fang Zheng blinked and snapped back to reality. Although he didn’t understand exactly what was happening, it seed Yuzhu was in danger... Well, considering she at least gave him food and shelter for a night (even if the food was takeout), it was ti to repay that kindness!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng imdiately left the Western Mansion and swiftly headed down the mountain.
Where exactly?
As he leaped swiftly down the mountain, Fang Zheng recalled the future vision he had just seen. Judging by the environnt in the scene, it seed to be a park, but this wasn’t Fuyuki City... It wouldn’t be easy to find a park here...
"——————!!"
However, at that mont, a roar suddenly echoed. Fang Zheng quickly turned his head toward the direction of the sound and saw a massive figure, seven or eight ters tall, erge from the outskirts of the town. That was obviously not an illusion or a parade balloon, aning... Was Yuzhu fighting soone there?
Gotta catch up!
While praying inwardly, Fang Zheng sped up again, rushing towards the battleground.
In just the blink of an eye, Fang Zheng swiftly crossed the streets and reached the open ground. At the sa ti, he saw the giant stone figure begin to move. It raised its hand high and slamd it down forcefully. But the next mont, a sudden golden radiance burst forth, effortlessly shattering the stone giant into fragnts. Imdiately after, a black silhouette, with blood scattering around, flew backward.
"Not good!!"
Seeing the severely injured girl, Fang Zheng imdiately leaped to Yuzhu’s side, grabbing her as they landed on the ground. Simultaneously, the sound of rushing wind suddenly arose, and Fang Zheng saw a golden-furred giant wolf pouncing toward him.
"Get away from !"
Without hesitation, Fang Zheng summoned a greatsword to strike at the incoming giant wolf, sending it flying.
"Yuzhu, are you alright... tsk, this is really bad."
Only then did Fang Zheng look down at Yuzhu in his arms and found a massive hole carved into her abdon, with shredded flesh and blood fragnts everywhere.
"Ugh..."
At this mont, Yuzhu shivered and slightly opened her eyes. Upon seeing Fang Zheng, she couldn’t help but be taken aback.
"How are you..."
"I had a bad feeling and ca out to see. Why didn’t you say you were going to pick a fight? If I’d co with you, there wouldn’t be this much trouble."
Saying this, Fang Zheng placed his hand on Yuzhu’s shredded abdon, and the next mont, the power of ti began to coalesce. Soon, Yuzhu’s body, where it had been torn apart, rapidly healed and returned to normal.
"Phew..."
Seeing this, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, then let Yuzhu down and looked forward. Not far ahead stood a woman in a green coat with a gloomy expression, short orange hair, and glasses, coldly staring at him. By her side was that golden giant wolf.
"Who are you?"
"That’s what I want to ask you."
Faced with the woman’s inquiry, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.
"Who are you? Coming here to fight soone and even bringing a Fantasy Species to bully a little girl, do you have any decency?"
"C-careful..."
Yuzhu, who had just caught her breath, sat up slowly, gazing at the woman opposite.
"She is Aoko Aozaki, our... enemy."
"Aoko Aozaki?"
Hearing Yuzhu’s reply, Fang Zheng paused for a mont, tilting his head.
"Aoko Aozaki, Aozaki, Aozaki... why does this na sound so familiar?"
Fang Zheng mumbled for a while, then suddenly had an epiphany, clapping his hands vigorously.
"Oh, right, it’s the Wounded Crimson!"
