What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

So this guy's real target is me? He didn't arrest the wrong person?

Seeing that the two phantom beasts had stopped talking, Ron interjected and asked:

"Why...why did you capture me? Why me?"

"Oh? You don't know?"

The demon god looked at Ron with slight surprise.

Ron frowned even more: "Should I know?"

"Hehehe, I don't know... never mind, no... perhaps it is precisely because you don't know that you are able to become a Phantom Beast Warrior."

The demon was speaking in a way that left everyone bewildered, and Ron's lips twitched as he listened.

Riddler, get out of the Fantasy Beast Continent!

It's ridiculous, I don't know who made that rule, but in every children's anime, there's always one or two villains who pretend to be dead, they don't speak human language, they just keep spouting riddles and making people guess.

I'm guessing for no reason! If I weren't outmatched, you think I wouldn't smash your head in?!

Ron loathed the riddle-maker's behavior, but unfortunately, he couldn't beat him.

So annoying!

Because he was very dissatisfied, Ron's tone was inevitably a little cold. His eyes were indifferent as he looked at the black ball:

"So why did you capture me?"

“It’s simple, Ron, help me.”

The black ball extended an invitation to Ron to join the company, saying, "I've been observing you for a long time, and you are the most rational of all the Beast Warriors. So you should be very clear that what the Beast Continent has done to you is actually a crime according to your human laws."

Ron: "?"

Wait, did I hear that right?

You, a villain, are trying to talk to me about real-world law?!

Did I wander onto the wrong set?

As Ron remained stunned, the 'demon' continued speaking:

"Forcibly bringing you children to another world and making you participate in a battle that doesn't belong to you... that's going too far no matter how you look at it, isn't it?"

"..."

Ron had to admit that although the other party was a villain, what he said did make sense!

Seeing Ron freeze in shock, the demon continued:

"What I did wasn't actually as bad as you think. I just wanted to bring those forgotten mythical beasts back into people's fantasies... that's all!"

"So Ron, come help me! I'll unlock your potential and give you new power! I can see you're craving power, right, Ron!"

It turned out to be the case.

After hearing the demon god's words, Ron felt a flash of inspiration and instantly understood everything.

Regardless of whether the demon god's words were true or false, Ron understood what the demon god truly meant by valuing him.

It was precisely because of Ron's desire for great power and the deep-seated hatred for demons that the Demon God sensed him and brought him here!

A character with a tragic and resentful nature... in this children's world, it's definitely easier to attract darkness...

So, should we surrender to the demon god here and then obtain power from him?

Ron lowered his head and thought for less than half a second before rejecting his idea.

No.

Putting aside the fact that Ron is still unaware of the Demon God's true purpose, just considering the fate of this world, it's impossible for Ron to truly side with the darkness.

After all, as we all know, in most animated films, the final ending is that the protagonist defeats the villain.

Excluding dark and brutal anime.

The overall style of "Fantasy Beast Warriors" is more like the shonen manga that Ron used to watch, and the endings of most of these anime are pretty much the same.

The protagonist defeats the final enemy, eliminates darkness, and brings peace to the world.

So... Ron wouldn't be stupid enough to ignore the protagonist's coattails and run off to be with the villain.

Although Ron is the 'second male lead' and there might be some twist where he turns evil and becomes three times stronger, Ron doesn't want to gamble on whether the dark forces will affect him.

If Ron is influenced by dark forces and becomes evil himself... it might be alright in the Beast Fantasy Continent, but back in the real world, Ron might become a 'Demon Orb'.

That would be a losing proposition.

So... it's best to play along for a while.

Ron stopped talking and lowered his head in thought.

His appearance led the demon god to misunderstand something, and the demon god let out a soft laugh:

"Hehe, you have plenty of time to think it over. No rush. Until then... I'll have to trouble you to stay here with me for a while."

After the demon god finished speaking, he suddenly called out to the outside, "Winter Sound."

Rumble

He heard a sound of something moving behind him. Ron turned around and saw two heavy doors open in the darkness behind him.

When Ron saw the double doors, he finally remembered that this was the place where the demon god talked with the fifth phantom beast warrior in the anime he had watched!

Tsk, the anime is all dark, like the villains can't pay their electricity bills. Who can tell which way is which? So these guys have been in the Guardian Temple all along?

Ron finally connected the scene here with the scene he had seen in the anime.

As the door behind them opened, a silver-haired girl wearing a black sports jacket and shorts walked in.

This is the fifth Phantom Beast Warrior, and Ron has finally seen her true form here!

The fifth mysterious warrior also saw Ron before him.

Upon their first meeting, she recognized Ron and became wary:

"Why...are you here?"

The silver-haired girl asked indifferently.

Compared to her transformed self, who always uses an emoji mask to make expressions, her original self appears much colder, with almost no expression on her face. Even when she is wary of Ron, she only slightly furrows her brows, and the furrowing is not even that pronounced.

Do you have facial paralysis?

Ron muttered rudely to himself.

The demon god intervened, saying, "Dongyin, he is very likely to be our companion in the future. Now... take him to a place to rest."

"Companion..." the silver-haired girl murmured, then suddenly looked at Ron and asked, "Where is the Fantasy Crystal?"

"You still remember this..."

"You... stole... my fantasy crystal."

"Let me state upfront that it wasn't originally yours. It was made by Grandpa Mouse. I don't think it's a good habit to take other people's things as your own."

Ron wouldn't indulge her just because she was a pretty girl, he retorted without hesitation.

To Ron's surprise, the silver-haired girl fell silent, as if acknowledging that Ron was right.

The silver-haired girl glanced in the direction of the demon god, then lowered her head and said, "...But...that was the demon god's...order."

Ron also glanced at the demon god.

The demon god laughed: "The Fantasy Crystal is indeed very important, but since we failed to obtain it, let's just forget about it. You two may be working together in the future, so you should get along well... Dongyin, take him away, I need to talk to the Ghost Angel about something."

?

Ron felt a strange sensation upon hearing the demon god's kind words.

Back in the anime, this guy's attitude towards Toune wasn't like this... Was the change in attitude because of me?

Ron fell into deep thought.

"……Yes."

The girl named Dongyin responded in a muffled voice, then turned and left.

Ron didn't move at first, but after the silver-haired girl took a couple of steps, he snapped out of his reverie, put his hands behind his head, and slowly followed behind her.

"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet. Since we're going to be colleagues, you should at least tell me your name, right?"

The girl did not answer immediately.

Once they had walked out the door and it was closed behind them, the girl glanced at Ron and softly replied:

“…Dongyin…Mu Dongyin.”

As she spoke, she took a croissant out of her pocket, took a small bite, and added again:

"...is my name."

Is Chapter 62 being broadcast in three episodes?

Ron finally learned the name of the fifth Phantom Beast Warrior.
