The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　However, as expected of the second young master of Feiyun Trading Company, Xingqiu did not lose control of his expression under such circumstances. After finishing the eel ochazuke, he left Shimura-ya.

　Today, Kong is going to welcome the fleet from Liyue. After finding Xingqiu, Kong tells him about the Rongcai Festival and the arrangements in Inazuma.

　Just as Xingqiu was about to take out the invitation before arriving on the island, he discovered a note under his bag. While Xingqiu was wondering how the note ended up under his bag, Paimon excitedly said he wanted to see what was on the note. The note contained the story that connected to the note that Wendy had found.

　That is, the poem "The Old Man of Sunflower" from the Five Songs of Fairy Appearance.

　In his youth, he wore a black crown and stood in the imperial court; in his old age, he was bathed in the shadow of pines and the moonlight.

　The act of disobedience was not of my own volition; my life was threatened, and I was forced into it.

　Hurriedly searching for old works, I anxiously conceal the incomplete manuscript in my bosom.

　The reason for this is unknown, simply because the secret guest is eccentric.

　I still remember this poem recalling the people of the Red Army, and I know how painful it is to be adrift in hardship.

　With Kong's introduction, Xingqiu met with Abedo, but Abedo found some flaws in their conversation.

　"So you also think Xingqiu is a bit strange, right, Abedo?"

　"Hey, what are you talking about?" The clueless Paimon didn't understand what Sora and Abedo were saying.

　Abedo glanced at Paimon and explained carefully, "Xingqiu doesn't seem to know nothing about Inazuma. I used the excuse of strong winds and Shimura-ya being an open-air restaurant, but Xingqiu suggested going to Utsu-tei. In other words, Xingqiu didn't just arrive in Inazuma. But that's strange. Why would Xingqiu pretend to know nothing about Inazuma?"

　Kong nodded in agreement with Abedo's statement. So the group prepared to ask the accompanying personnel. Kong, Paimon, and even Abedo all believed that Xingqiu, as a person of the martial arts world, would certainly not do such a petty thing as stealing chickens and dogs. Moreover, Xingqiu was the author of "Chenqiu Picks Up the Sword Record".

　The young girl also loved the Radiant Splendor Festival, because as long as she sat on the street and watched the people walking by, she would be offered delicious food one after another, and for the young girl, nothing made her happier than this.

　Beneath the Black Eclipse Dragon's body, she has no sight, but she knows she should have it. However, she can only obtain information about the outside world through the scales she metabolizes. These scales are nothing to the Black Eclipse Dragon, but for other creatures, they are basically a catastrophe. Moreover, the Black Eclipse Dragon does not have a fixed habitat; they can roam freely in various places, spreading the Mad Dragon Virus.

　After she acquired a human body, the Black Eclipse Dragon took a liking to it, not only because she gained sight, but also because this body allowed her to eat delicious food. As everyone knows, the Black Eclipse Dragon cannot breathe fire, but another part of its consciousness told it that eating cooked food was healthier and made it easier to grow. However, in its original world, it would fight with hunters every time it went out, and without sight, it did not know how to obtain cooked food.

　Moreover, she doesn't particularly like being in volcanoes, not only because the scorching lava and flames burn away the scales she emits, but also because the constant high temperature there makes her unable to perceive her surroundings.

　On the other hand, facing Kong and Paimon's concerns, Xingqiu had no choice but to tell the truth. It turned out that he felt his signature was too ugly, so for Rong Caiji's new book launch, Xingqiu specially trained for it and painstakingly practiced calligraphy.

　Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Wendy suddenly arrived at Utsu-tei and said that Kujo Sara had found the culprit. Xingqiu immediately thought of editor Onodera and rushed over to help clear up the misunderstanding. Fortunately, editor Kuroda had already cleared up the misunderstanding for Onodera. At this time, Abedo had also completed the second painting.

　The little girl was near the photo board. She remembered that she had bought an octopus doll here before, and she wanted a whale one too. Just then, Ayaka and Thomas also arrived near the photo board, and the group happened to see Arataki Ichito, who was about to duel with Sora.

　"Hahaha, I'll challenge her to a contest of eating capacity. How about it? If I win, that limited edition drink is mine. If I lose, I'll leave with my people."

　Realizing she was being pointed at by a strange, upright creature, the little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Ayaka. Paimon, remembering the little girl's appetite, exclaimed in surprise, "Ichidou, you can't compare to her."

　Paimon's words made Arataki Ichito disbelieve it. He patted his chest and said, "How could I, the head of the Arataki School, be inferior to a child? You just said that I would choose the opponent and the method of the match."

　"If you lose, you'll have to pay for your own meal, Mr. Araki Ichito." Ayaka knew what had happened before, so she kindly reminded him.

　Sora and Paimon slapped their foreheads in exasperation. Although the little girl didn't know what was going on, she knew that someone wanted to give her something to eat.

　"Da~"

　The little girl ran happily to Araki Ichito and stretched out her hand to him, but Araki Ichito waved it away indifferently. Toma helplessly placed the prepared skewers (spicy skewers) for twenty people on the table. Ayaka took the skewers and placed them on the little girl's plate.

　The food on the skewer disappeared right before their eyes.

　Araki Kazuto suddenly realized that this was a formidable opponent, but how could a mere child compare to the leader of the Araki faction?

　In the end, the little girl ate enough skewers for fifty people and won, while Arataki Kazuto ate enough skewers for seven people before he couldn't eat anymore.

　Sora and Paimon looked at Arataki Ichito clutching his stomach, and then at the young girl who still seemed unsatisfied, and couldn't help but shake their heads.

　P.S.: Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all become more and more handsome/beautiful!

　PS2: I'm so tired from visiting relatives and friends for the New Year today. They're allowed to set off firecrackers here now, so it didn't stop all night!

　PS3: Please vote for me! You can also recommend it to your friends. I'll work hard to write the book!

　Volume 1: Chapter 28 - Two Tragic Figures

　Tartaglia, the eleventh executive officer of the Fools, codenamed "Prince".

　You can trust him, but you don't have to be infatuated with him. The kind of battle he yearns for is not what ordinary people think of, but rather an extreme and high-risk experience. This is the advice from the Fool's Enforcer, the Rooster.

　But to D'Artagnan's younger siblings, he was a competent toy salesman!

　He's also a great cook and a very good cleaner—he's incredibly skilled. This comes from his sister, Donya.

　Tartaglia was inspecting his subordinates' work on Bladelink Island and gathering some information before heading to the Adventurers' Guild.

　According to the doctor, the potion they obtained this time can destroy a creature's sanity, turning it into a monster that only knows how to fight. The doctor values ​​the results of this alchemy highly, so he has asked Tartaglia to inspect it. After all, if this potion is developed properly, it will greatly help fulfill the wishes of the Winter Queen.

　"Datalia, if I were you, I would pour this medicine into Thor's mouth."

　“You stragglers, you can continue spouting nonsense, but don’t forget what happened to Rosalyn.”

　"Heh, Rosalind, Tartaglia, you can't just call her that name so casually. Even the dead Rosalind is better than you if you don't get the Heart of God. I hope you don't mess this up. Remember to make an appointment if you need my help, Ajax."

　D'Artaglia ignored Scaramucci's sarcasm and instead browsed the records of the Adventurers' Guild's commissions. The information he obtained from Bladelink Island made him realize that the Adventurers' Guild would more or less keep records of the mysterious monsters.

　Several store warehouses in Inazuma Castle were burglarized. Genzo's investigation confirmed that the client's warehouses were not damaged. Neither Tenryo nor Genzo found any useful traces inside the warehouses or elsewhere. Packaged meat and candy inside the warehouses were damaged, and most were missing. Judging from the scene, it's presumed they were eaten on the spot. The thief seemed unfamiliar with the packaging; a small portion was left on the ground. The client has not yet found a suspect.

　[The Konta Village Monster Incident: Villagers discovered a large number of bones by the river. Daisuke's investigation confirmed they were pig bones, fish bones, and crab shells. Villagers' testimonies indicated the monster was black, extremely fast, and had a voracious appetite. However, based on the village chief's description, Daisuke found no useful clues. (Note: Ayaka Kamisato and Yomi-no-miya Naganohara consulted on this case.)]

　......

　Shota asks an adventurer to help him retrieve his snacks from Ichito Araki, but Shinobu Kyuuki has already closed the quest.

　......

　Alchemist Allen posted a request to buy 1500g of magic crystal blocks at a high price, but Allen has already closed the commission.

　D'Artagnan quickly scanned the Adventurers' Guild's record of commissions. Normally, no one has the authority to view these records, but Catherine was created by Winter, and the Fools possess higher authority—authorities that even the Fools' executors have.

　D'Artagnan called over an administrator and casually asked, "Has anything unusual happened in Inazuma in the last two months?"

　At the Naganohara fireworks shop, Yoomiya and Kuri finished their painting. When they were discussing how to publish it, they suddenly realized a very serious problem: publishing requires money!

　"Klee can earn Mora by frying fish."

　"No, Klee, Sora said that fireworks and bombs are not allowed during the Crimson Festival."

　Next, in order to print the book "Let's Go, Dudu," the four of them headed towards Yaedo.

　Upon arriving at Yaedo, they were told that the printing schedule was full and that printing now would miss the Rongcai Festival. Not wanting Klee to experience the sadness she had gone through, Yoomiya said she would find a way to resolve the situation.

　"Oh my, Yonomiya, I really like your stubbornness."

　Upon hearing the voice of the goddess, the group noticed that the goddess and Abedo had also arrived at Yaedo.

　“Hmm, Miko, sister, Klee wants everyone to see the story of Dudu. This book, ‘Let’s Go, Dudu,’ was made by Klee and Sister Yoomiya together, and Klee hopes it can be published.”

　"I see. But the printing schedule is already very tight."

　The priestess spoke with feigned seriousness, but seeing Klee lower her head, she suddenly changed the subject, saying, "But we Yaedo are here to bring dreams and joy to people."

　"If I can't even fulfill the wishes of a cute girl, that's just too much to ask."

　The divine child pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, if you can accept the mixed version, then it's still not too late."

　"Impregnation means printing it together with other books. That way, after simple typesetting, it can be printed in time," Abedo explained, worried that Keli might not understand.

　"Klee is willing, thank you, Shinji, sister."

　After giving the instructions, the goddess looked at Yomi and said, "Yomimi, Hikari isn't here with you. I didn't see her either when she was with Ayaka."

　Xiaogong took out the elemental crystal, sensed it, and said, "Xiaoguang has run off to the desolate sea again. I'm going to find her now."

　"The matter with Linghua is almost resolved. They're planning to have a barbecue party on the outlying island. Let's all go together."

　Sure enough, the two groups met by chance on the beach of the island, so they went together to the other side of the deserted sea to bring the little girl back for a party.

　When they arrived, they found D'Artagnan and the little girl sitting together. D'Artagnan was taking out a bottle of unknown potion and preparing to give it to the little girl.

　"Young master, what are you doing with Xiao Guang?"

　“You are the young master, the executor of the Fools.”

　"What are you going to do to Xiaoguang?"

　D'Artagnan stood up casually, leaned against the little girl defiantly, and waved the dark purple potion in her hand, saying, "This is a kind of magic potion that our Fools obtained in Inazuma. It can erase a person's reason and turn them into a monster who only knows how to fight. This little one is very strong. She can catch a tuna bigger than herself from the sea all by herself. So..."

　The young girl saw the upright creature in front of her bring a bottle to her lips and drank it without hesitation.

　"Hahaha, what a foolish creature, now for the next..."

　To D'Artagnan's surprise, nothing happened after the little girl drank the potion. She continued to eat tuna on her own. D'Artagnan looked at her blankly, as if asking, "Who are you? Where are you? What are you doing?" He didn't notice that Yae no Miko was about to burst into laughter.

　"I knew you were going to mess this up, you muscle-bound idiot who only knows how to fight."

　"The collapse of the nation is due to you."

　“It’s me, you pink fox, and I’m not the one who’s lost the country, I am.”

　Before the soldier could finish speaking, Yae no Miko snatched the shopping bag from Thomas and threw it at the soldier and D'Artagnan. Almost instinctively, the two smashed the shopping bag to pieces. The little girl, who had just been running towards the bag of food, suddenly saw the food disappear. She immediately looked at the young master and the soldier, her crimson-gold pupils fixed on them.

　“I’m telling you, God Child, no.”

　Before the soldier could finish speaking, and before the young master could speak, a flash of blue light appeared before their eyes, and their vision instantly turned black. Then, the wind howled, and the two were suddenly blasted away.

　P.S.: This is the second update today!

　PS2: I cooked dinner tonight, I'm so tired~

　PS3: Wishing everyone a Happy New Year again! May the new year bring you joy, success, and all your wishes come true!

　I'd like to recommend a book!

　"But that's alright, the journey to pursue the [infinity] has only just begun, hasn't it?"

　Volume 1: 029 - Berserker Dragon Transformation

　Things happened so fast that D'Artagnan didn't even realize what was happening. He had just gotten up from the ground and hadn't even stood up properly when he saw out of the corner of his eye that a thick, dark purple fog had quietly crept up to his feet.

　The Fools who perished on Ba Yun Island knew that the dark purple powder came from the scales of a certain creature, which turned into scale powder after being stimulated by the outside world. However, the Fools soldiers had already been dealt with by Mr. Debtor, so the Executor Doctor who obtained the scale powder could only speculate that it was the secretion of some kind of creature. D'Artagnan's mission this time was to investigate and capture this creature, but unfortunately, D'Artagnan found no trace of this creature at all.

　However, only Ayaka and a few others knew that the young girl was the Black Eclipse Dragon. The possessors of the Eye of Vulcan were strictly forbidden from revealing any information. Besides them, it seemed that only the two soldiers from Haiqi Island were unharmed after seeing the Black Eclipse Dragon. However, when Dada...

　Upon seeing the enormous figure and the powdery scales emanating from her body, Lia immediately realized that this dark creature was the target he had been searching for. A wave of shame washed over him, for he had just fed her his own offspring.

　Young girls can indeed be poisoned, but discussing toxicity without considering dosage is meaningless. Ordinary anesthetics need to be poured into the mouth of the Black Dragon from a bucket to be effective, so that little bit of medicine is completely ineffective. However, at this moment, Tartaglia only had one thought.

　She may not be the monster, but she is definitely the monster.

　D'Artagnan and the skirmisher knew what the effects of inhaling this dark and ominous substance would be. The skirmisher, being a puppet, didn't care, but D'Artagnan was very concerned. At least for now, he didn't want to inhale these things.

　"roar~"

　The Black Eclipse Dragon beside them let out a deafening roar, and the blackish-purple powder in the surrounding air was already visible to the naked eye. After exchanging a glance, Dadalia and the skirmisher immediately jumped away from their current positions. The Black Eclipse Dragon also sensed their actions, arched its body, and spewed a thick fog in their direction.

　D'Artagnan jumped away from the spot where the dense fog landed, but he didn't expect that the fog would immediately explode in four directions after landing, covering a wider area than D'Artagnan had anticipated. Unable to dodge in time, D'Artagnan was blasted by the blackish-purple smoke and forced to inhale two mouthfuls of dense fog. Immediately, a feeling of powerlessness surged into D'Artagnan's body. He knew that this was a sign of the virus taking effect. He had seen the skirmishers several times in the Sumeru experimental base.

　The doctor has yet to find a cure for this disease; death may be the best option.

　Ignoring Tartaglia's feelings, the skirmisher, manipulating the mechanical arm created by the doctor, charged toward the Black Dragon. His original purpose in coming here was to see what Inazuma looked like, and he was determined to slay Thor once he became a god.

　However, at the Adventurers' Guild, the skirmisher unexpectedly encountered Tartaglia. "Simple-minded and even simple-minded," was the skirmisher's assessment of Tartaglia. Out of curiosity, the two set off together.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon turned and leaped to dodge the attack of the skirmisher, spewing a thick mist at the skirmisher. However, the skirmisher did not need to dodge the scales scattered by the Black Eclipse Dragon. But the Black Eclipse Dragon was faster. It opened its wing claws slightly and quickly rammed into the skirmisher sideways. The skirmisher was then sent flying and crashed into the mountain, leaving a human-shaped mark.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon gave the skirmisher no chance to stand up. Its wing claws pinned the skirmisher off the mountainside, and its fine, sharp fangs immediately bit him. Its forepaws, radiating an eerie purple light, forcefully stomped on the skirmisher's body. The Black Eclipse Dragon exerted force with its head, and instantly, a metallic cracking sound rang out. In the blink of an eye, the Black Eclipse Dragon had torn the skirmisher's body in two.

　On the other side, Kujo Sara and Yae no Miko had already prepared contingency plans for possible scenarios. At this moment, Kujo Sara gave an order, and the soldiers of the Tenryo magistrate immediately placed the area under martial law, while the soldiers of the Eye of the Vulcan stood on the perimeter to prevent the scale powder from spreading.

　The owner of the Eye of Rock, Ice, and Water uses elemental power to condense rock, ice, and water into a thin protective layer to prevent the dark purple scales from getting close to the human body; this is currently the only conceivable method.

　Paimon looked curiously at the light that had pinned Tartaglia and the skirmishers to the ground and couldn't help but ask a question.
