Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

Shiki Shoufeng leaned back on the soft sofa, legs crossed elegantly, a playful smile on his lips, and asked the question lightly.

"If verified, I think it's time for our bet to live up to its promise."

At this moment, Mana's eyes inadvertently caught a set of exquisite and slightly provocative three-point maid swimsuits that appeared out of thin air in Shikimori Kaede's hands. The colors were bright and the fabric was thin. It seemed to contain some unspeakable magic, which instantly attracted all attention.

"....What's this..."

There was a hint of surprise and confusion in Mana's voice, and it was obvious that she was unprepared for this sudden "gift".

When Shi Shoufeng heard this, the curve of his mouth deepened and a mischievous light flashed in his eyes.

"? You really can't tell? This is a good thing. Today, I just want you to wear it and stay with me, how about it?"

"Why would you carry something like this with you? You... you are a complete pervert!!"

Two red clouds rose on Mana's cheeks, her voice trembled slightly with anger, her fingers clenched into fists unconsciously, and you could almost hear the faint sound of her teeth grinding.

Facing Mana's accusations, Shikimori Feng scratched his ears helplessly, his expression slightly innocent.

“Hey, are you giving a concert in public? Who would carry something like this around with them? To tell you the truth, I borrowed this from Origami. I don’t understand why she has a swimsuit like this, but from what I’ve seen, her figure is pretty similar to yours, so you should be able to wear it.”

When it comes to origami, Mana's thoughts suddenly seemed to be blown across the water by a sudden gust of wind, causing ripples.

A fragment that she had forgotten in the corner of her memory now clearly appeared in her mind.

"He is my man." - These words were clearly spoken by Origami herself, who was always calm and composed.

“No way…No way?!”

Mana was inexplicably shocked, and for a moment she could not accept this series of shocking facts. Her eyes were intertwined with confusion, surprise, and a hint of panic.

Chapter 146 Mana's Maid Show

"I'm a pervert?" A strange arc appeared on Shi Shoufeng's lips, and there seemed to be some unspeakable meaning hidden in that smile.

At the right moment, he gave an inexplicable smile, with a playful gleam in his eyes.

"Since you've already labeled me like this, if I do nothing, wouldn't that be disappointing your 'expectations'? Come on, put on this outfit!"

As the words fell, the smile on Shi Shoufeng's face instantly disappeared, replaced by an unquestionable serious attitude.

He looked directly at Mana, his eyes gleaming with command.

Faced with this sudden and tough request, Mana gritted his teeth, with unwillingness and anger flashing in his eyes.

The two of them confronted each other like this, the air seemed to be filled with invisible sparks, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

"When today is over...I will definitely put an end to you with my own hands!"

Mana gritted her teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, but no matter what, Mana was still okay, after all, she was willing to accept the defeat.

Upon hearing this, Shikimori Feng simply shrugged lightly, and that nonchalant action seemed to be the most direct mockery of Mana's threat.

"As you wish."

After a moment, after a silent tug of war, Mana finally compromised and reluctantly walked out of the shadowed corner.

At this time, she had already changed into the maid outfit provided by Shiki Morikaze - the pure white skirt gently brushed across her legs, and the almost transparent material made her skin appear unusually delicate in the dim light. The large area of ​​snow-white skin glowed slightly in the air, making it difficult to look away.

The design of this swimsuit is extremely simple, and it is only held together by two thin ribbons at the neck and waist that seem to be in danger of breaking at any time. The rest of the body is almost uncovered, showing off Mana's graceful figure to the fullest.

Shiki Shoufeng looked at Zhen's shy and evasive appearance, and couldn't help but smile with pleasure.

"Not bad... Not to mention your figure, your skin is so well maintained. I thought that someone like you who travels all the time would have rough skin."

"Pervert! Do you know how to respect women? Don't you know that you shouldn't casually comment on someone's appearance?"

Mana's tone was filled with indignation, and her cheeks were tinged with a light blush from anger.

Facing Mana's accusations, Shikimori Feng smiled contemptuously, slowly stood up, strode to her, and stared at her condescendingly.

"Oh? So what? Don't forget, as my slave... you have no so-called 'human rights'. Although it's only a short day, in this limited time, you'd better pray that you don't do anything that makes me unhappy."

His words revealed a cold and ruthless sense of authority. After all, Mana's fate was completely in his hands.

But even so, in Shiki Morifeng's opinion, Mana still maintains a precious innocence, just like a green fruit that has not yet been contaminated by the worldly dust, which makes people involuntarily feel pity for her.

What Shiki Shoufeng admired most was the courage to take responsibility and the willingness to accept defeat.

In this world, how many people are too concerned about gains and losses, and become arrogant when they win and discouraged when they lose. It is truly commendable to be able to accept the results calmly, without escaping or quibbling.

Shi Shoufeng highly recognizes this spirit of facing challenges and taking responsibility.

Therefore, for such a slave with a pure heart and good character, Shi Shoufeng would naturally not really be too harsh or punish him severely.

At most, it's nothing more than serving tea, singing and dancing, jumping up and down... and so on.

"Shikimori Kaede!!! You bastard!! Pervert!!!"

Mana endured the humiliation and carried out Shiki Morikaze's orders, cursing at him mercilessly.

That look actually made Liaozi, who had been watching in a daze, laugh.

"Pfft..."

"....team leader!!!"

Liaozi covered her mouth, her laughter sounded a little helpless. She turned to look at Mana, her eyes full of amusement.

"Hey, Mana, you're really good at cursing. But Shikimori Kaede isn't that bad, is she? At least it's more 'normal' than asking you to dress up as a clown and perform on the street."

Mana glared at Ryoko, her cheeks flushed with shame and anger, but she did not stop what she was doing. She made tea for Shikimori Kaede while muttering unwillingly.

"Normal? You call this normal? Captain, don't just talk nonsense. Come and try if you have the guts!"

Shiki Morifeng sat leisurely in the main seat, with an interested smile on his lips, and seemed to be enjoying this relaxed atmosphere.

He took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, this tea tastes pretty good. It seems that you are quite talented in the skill of a servant."

Mana originally wanted to argue with Shiki Morikaze.

But it was at this time.

“Buzz————————”

Every inch of the air seemed to be filled with this long, deep hum, as if it were the echo of some ancient spell, foreshadowing something unusual that was about to happen.

To Shi Shoufeng, this sound was as familiar as the alarm clock every morning. However, every time he heard it, the indescribable tension and vigilance in his heart would be instantly awakened - this was a space tremor, a disaster signal that was enough to shake the peace of an entire city.

This made the smile that had just bloomed on Shi Shoufeng's face evaporate quickly like dew.

His eyes turned from gentle to sharp, and his heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being held tightly by an invisible hand. It had been a long time since he heard this alarm, and it sounded suddenly. It didn't seem like a good thing at all.

"The spiritual power fluctuations codenamed 'Nightmare' have been detected. The coordinates are located in the central commercial street. The people have been evacuated immediately. Please give instructions."

A calm and mechanical female voice came from the loudspeaker above the head, like a cold wind breaking the silence, delivering the information directly and accurately into everyone's ears.

The sense of urgency revealed in the words made the atmosphere around them suddenly become solemn.

"nightmare?"

Shiki Shoufeng repeated in a low voice, his brows furrowed.

The name "Nightmare" is closely linked to only one person - Kurumi Tokisaki.

"Isn't that Kurumi?"

Shiki Shoufeng couldn't sit still any longer.

"Ryoko, you handle this. I don't want anyone getting close to Kurumi. Leave her to me."

After saying that, Shikimori Feng glanced at Mana who was eager to make a move, and immediately picked Mana up like a kitten.

"You come with me."

"Hey Hey hey!!"

Mana suddenly flew into the air, and when she heard Shikimori Kaede's words, she immediately struggled.

“Clothes! Clothes!! Are you going to let me go out dressed like this?! Hey!!”

Chapter 147: Internal Conflict among the Three

In the bustling city center, the commercial street should be a lively place with bustling voices and flashing neon lights, but at this moment it is shrouded in an indescribable silence.

Shikimori Kaede easily picked up the petite Mana with one hand and suspended her in the air as if she was walking in the air.

Wherever he looked, the originally neatly arranged shops and bustling crowds of people had been replaced by desolate ruins. The occasional sound of rubble sliding down between the broken walls sounded particularly harsh in the dead silence.

Shiki Shoufeng's face usually had a faint smile on it, but at this moment it was as solemn as a dark cloud covering the sun. His brows were tightly furrowed, and the space between his eyebrows almost formed a deep "川" character, and his eyes were full of shock and confusion at the scene before him.

The heavy emotion seemed to be able to materialize, making the air around them oppressive.

"Mana," Shiki Shoufeng's voice was low, but it clearly penetrated the silence around him and reached the ears of the girl in his arms, "I want to hear your opinion. Have you ever known a nightmare that caused such large-scale destruction?"

Mana was currently hanging on Shikimori Kaede's arm, swaying gently as he flew.

She lowered her head, her eyes passing through her flying hair, staring at the devastated ruins below, a trace of astonishment and confusion flashing in her eyes.

In the ruins, the former prosperity is like a short and magnificent dream, and now only endless emptiness and desolation are left.

Hearing Shikimori Kaede's question, Mana's expression became more complicated. She tilted her head slightly, as if recalling past experiences.

After a moment's silence, she shook her head slightly, with a hint of uncertainty and hesitation in her movements.

"Nightmare, in my previous battles with her, I have never seen her unleash destructive power so recklessly. The last time I saw a similar scene was in a deserted no-man's land. It was a fierce confrontation... But in the center of such a densely populated city, causing a disaster of this scale... This is something I have never expected and have never encountered."

"Is that so...I think so."

Shiki Shoufeng tapped the location of his cochlea, and a little red light immediately lit up in the cochlea.

"Kotori, you should know the situation, right? How are you doing now? Can you find Kurumi's location?"

Ratatosk, command room.

Kotori, with her black headband standing upright, was biting a lollipop that made a "crunching" sound.

After hearing Shikimori Kaede's question, Kotori's expression looked a little strange.

"Feng, I found it, but it's a little strange."

"Strange? What do you mean?"

Shikimori Kaede obviously didn't understand what Kotori was referring to.

"They are now on the roof of a shopping mall in the central area, but the strange thing is... there is more than one sensor source of Kuang San in the detector, and these sensor sources..."

"I'm not saying anything, but why are you so hesitant? This is totally unlike your character!"

Shikimori Kaede flew towards the top of the building while complaining about Kotori.

"I've never seen such a scene before! How could they fight with themselves?"

Kotori also complained angrily.

Fighting with yourself?

Shi Shoufeng was also stunned for a moment.

I just learned about Kurumi's secret from Mana today, and now this secret has immediately become a fact known to the public?

But no matter what, Shi Shoufeng still sped up and moved towards that direction.

-

"Number Three, what do you mean? Have you forgotten how he abused us?"

"I've made it very clear, No. 1, No. 2, I'm tired of living like this, I want to live the life I want with my own will."

"My own will?"

Number Two, who was standing next to Number One, chuckled.

"I think you have fallen for Shikimori Kaede's gentleness, right? You spend every day getting drunk with him, and you can't get away from him. Have you forgotten the time when I rescued No. 1?"

On the rooftop of the shopping mall, several Kuang San were confronting each other.

Their faces looked exactly like they were carved from the same mold, with no difference except for the clothes they were wearing.

Number One is wearing a red and black dress, while Number Two is wearing an eye patch on the right eye in addition to Number One.

As for number three, he was wearing a black school uniform.
