Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

Veruglind lay quietly in the water, large expanses of his fair skin exposed, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding seawater.

The waves lapped against her skin again and again, but she did not react.

Beneath the viscous, ink-like water lurked a group of fish-like monsters coveting her body.

However, these creatures seemed to be intimidated by an invisible force, and none of them dared to approach.

After an unknown amount of time, Veruglind slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

Her pale gold eyes, like the faint glow of fireflies, reflected the dazzling starlight in the sky.

She felt the chill spreading through her body and knew clearly what she had encountered.

However, she did not move, letting her body drift with the current.

Later, "that guy..."

Verglind gritted his teeth, completely unprepared for Kunoa's sudden power surge before his death.

Fortunately, she was severely injured, and in this deserted sea, she would probably die without any surprises.

I just don't know if the King of Justice is inside her.

Even though the battle was so intense, Kunoa did not use any of the powers of the King of Justice, which left Veruglind very confused.

She took a deep breath, then exhaled.

"If I had one, my operation would most likely have been a success."

"It avenged my foolish brother and restored power to Rudra."

"That guy probably never imagined, even on his deathbed, that the reason I took action was for the ultimate skill."

"Hmph, anyone who stands in the way of Rudra's unification of the world is utterly unforgivable."

The reason she stayed by Rudra's side was to help him realize his dream.

Rudra is getting old and his strength is failing him, so he has basically handed over all the affairs, big and small, in the country to Rudra to manage.

Therefore, we must not let Rudra down.

With a splash—and with these thoughts in mind, Veruglind slowly rose from the icy seawater.

Seawater flowed down her body, dripping onto the sea surface and splashing up tiny droplets.

She looked at her tattered cheongsam and couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

As far as humans are concerned, being able to injure themselves to this extent is indeed something to be proud of, but that's all.

A hint of disdain flashed in Veruglind's eyes.

—Go back and report.

By the way, let's see if the power of the [Army of Angels] has actually returned.

As her thoughts raced, her body vanished from the spot, leaving only an empty sea.

As she departed, the creatures beneath the sea that had been trembling under the pressure gradually returned to normal.

……

Golden Township.

A faint scent of roses permeated the wooden corridor.

Ronan looked at Hyuga Sakaguchi lying face down on the ground in front of him, suddenly stopped and fell silent.

He quickly realized that Hinata Sakaguchi had lied about his identity and origins, and had concealed his purpose, and felt ashamed.

Silence filled the air. Ronan looked down at her, then glanced at Izawa Shizue beside him.

Izawa Shizue pursed her lips, completely unable to believe that the older sister she had picked up was actually going to kidnap her.

This development is just too bizarre.

Although the apology was very sincere, and theoretically I should forgive them, but…

"Please forgive me for not being able to accept your apology, Hinata-neechan."

"Although I know you want to take me away for my own good, your behavior is just too domineering."

"Why would you want to be an enemy of the God? He saved you."

Shizue Izawa didn't understand, nor did she want to understand. All she knew was that she almost ended up adrift overseas, never to see Ronan and her other sisters again.

The thought of such a future filled her with anger and worry, her expression complex.

Hinata Sakaguchi remained silent. In fact, this scene was within her expectations; the dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) only works on adults.

However, this does not mean that children will always act on emotion.

She didn't look up or speak, as if she wouldn't get up until the other person forgave her, and the atmosphere around her became somewhat strange at this moment.

Frilian tugged at Ronan's sleeve, her eyes indicating that this was enough; any further development might strain their relationship.

Hinata Sakaguchi is currently using Chloe's body, so any punishment or anything seems somewhat incongruous.

Furthermore, she repented and apologized before taking action, which shows that she dared to take responsibility for her actions.

Seeing this, Ronan spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere:

"Yes, I understand. Although there are indeed some problems with your thinking, it's good that you know you're wrong."

"Get up first, it's cold lying on the ground wearing so little."

"Also, you said you are the hero Kunoa, so why are you injured like that?"

"Should I tell Leon that you are Chloe, but actually Hinata Sakaguchi?"

"Not for now." Hinata Sakaguchi tightened his collar, stood up, and resolutely refused.

Revealing one's identity and getting involved with another time traveler is troublesome enough.

If we were to cross paths with the Demon King again...

Even though that demon king was nominally the older brother of this body, Hinata Sakaguchi still found it hard to accept.

It's not too late to talk about it when things stabilize in the future.

She took a deep breath, glanced at Shizue Izawa with a hint of apology, and then slowly recounted her experience.

The air was a bit chilly as the group entered the reception room.

When Ronan heard that the attacker of Kunoa was a dragon girl with ice-blue hair, he couldn't help but become interested.

He had seen dragons before.

I've heard of dragon girls, but I've never seen one. It's very intriguing. Are they like humans? Or do they have dragon-like features?

Ronan was very curious about this.

Unfortunately, according to Hinata Sakaguchi's description, the dragon girl disappeared without a trace after the battle ended, and there was no way to find her body.

"It's such a pity."

Amidst his reflections, Ronan mentally constructed an image of the other person: a bun hairstyle, a cheongsam, the more he thought about it, the more familiar she seemed, and then there was the nickname "Scorching Dragon"...

She must be the Storm Dragon's sister.

Ronan didn't believe her reason for seeking revenge against the Storm Dragon.

Having been sealed away for two hundred years, if they wanted revenge, they would have acted two hundred years ago; why wait until now?

In other words, there must be something about Hinata Sakaguchi that Scorching Dragon cares about.

So what is it? Hmm, unable to figure it out, Ronan decided to postpone it for the time being.

In any case, once the Scorching Dragon finds out that Kunoa is not dead, he will definitely reappear.

When the time comes, grab her, and everything will be revealed.

Thinking about this, Ronan slowly came back to his senses.

At this moment, after explaining everything, Hinata Sakaguchi placed his hands on the table, his gaze sincere, and decisively said to Izawa Shizue:

"Please let me stay here and take care of you, Ms. Jing."

"I know that your life now is much happier than in the original timeline, but I still have some worries."

It's not that I don't trust Ronan; in reality, very few time travelers can truly trust each other.

She just wanted to see what teachers would become in the future, and what the world would become.

Chapter 108, Arrangements for Jingjiang; New Event, The Demon King's Punishment

Shizue Izawa's face was filled with bewilderment.

Hinata Sakaguchi offered to stay and take care of her, leaving her momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

She feels that she is doing very well now and does not need anyone else to take care of her.

Moreover, the formal title "Teacher Jing" made her, who was still just a child, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Just as she was about to refuse, Ronan's voice suddenly rang out in the room:

"That's kind of you. In that case, you can stay here for now."

"As Jingjiang's future student, you should know what her preferences are, right?"

“I know.” Hinata Sakaguchi nodded without hesitation.

And just like that, in a few words, arrangements for Izawa Shizue's future were quickly finalized.

Shizue Izawa opened her mouth, trying to say something, but found that she couldn't find a chance to interject.

Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and a sense of worry welled up in her heart.

But she also knew that this was a decision made by the adults, and she had no way to change it.

After a while, the conversation ended, and Hinata Sakaguchi politely got up to take his leave.

Just as Ronan was about to get up, Izawa Shizue suddenly asked:

"My Lord, are you no longer going to want me?"

Ronan was slightly taken aback; these words made it sound as if he had started something and then abandoned it.
