Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

The Fourth Ancestor's own memories are one aspect, while the information Moguwai told him is another.

He now knows exactly what's in Shen Sheng Lake.

It was precisely because he understood this that he had to go to this place.

"...I understand. So, how about we reschedule our trip to Shensheng Lake for tomorrow?"

"We believe that with your great power, there will certainly be no problem, but we still need to take some necessary protective measures first."

Xian Gu Yong tried his best to speak in a calm tone.

There was no room for her to refute this matter.

His Majesty has just made it clear that this is not a request, but an order.

Having observed the immense power His Majesty had displayed in the past two days, she understood very well that she had no right to refuse His Majesty's demands.

Or rather, this country has no right to refuse His Majesty's request.

If this person is made unhappy, then the country will not be happy.

"Interesting, they even flattered me first."

Makoto Haramura scoffed out loud.

"Don't worry, I know what's inside."

As he spoke, Makoto Haramura reached out and opened up the space in front of him, reaching inside to grab a handful of small square cubes, which he then placed on the table.

"I'll give you a day to prepare. Prepare what you consider safe and bury these things around Shensheng Lake."

He immediately understood the meaning behind Xian Gu Yong's words.

The meaning behind it is quite obvious: it's telling him not to harm others when he takes action.

"Thank you for your mercy."

She didn't quite understand the purpose of these things, but they were probably protective measures prepared by the Fourth Ancestor.

This made her feel gratified.

Although His Majesty has his own domineering nature and sometimes acts recklessly, he is not entirely self-centered.

Xian Gu Yong's sensible nature made Yuan Cun Cheng nod in approval.

“I see that your Lion King Organization isn’t doing very well with the Japanese government. Why don’t you switch over to my side?”

And so, Makoto Haramura extended an invitation directly.

To be honest, although Natsuki-chan has many complaints and grievances about the Lion King Organization.

But on his side, the Lion King Organization was far too sensible.

Makoto Haramura really likes people who know their place.

"No, this is inconsistent with the original founding principles of the Lion King Organization. Please allow me to refuse your mercy."

Xian Gu Yong tried his best to speak in a calm tone.

"Establishing a concept?"

"Protect this country?"

Haramura Makoto understood the hidden meaning in Shizuko Ei's words and looked at Shizuko Ei with a playful expression.

"Yes."

"The Lion King Organization originated during the Shogunate period. Regardless of the changing times of those in power, we have always taken it upon ourselves to protect this country."

"So please understand why we have turned to another place."

"Pfft!"

This time, the laughter didn't come from Makoto Haramura, but from Asagi Aiba.

Honestly, the meaning behind this was practically spelled out by Xian Gu Yong, and even Lan Yu Qian Cong, a young girl who hadn't even graduated from junior high school, could understand it.

"Are you really not considering now?"

"There's a difference between joining now and joining later. The benefits will definitely not be as good as joining later. Are you sure?"

The orange-yellow liquid flowed from the bottle neck and into the stemmed glass, and Makoto Haramura yawned.

Please allow me to decline your offer again.

"All right!"

Makoto Haramura shrugged and leaned back on the sofa.

"Don't hide the matter of Shensheng Lake tomorrow. Remember, make a big show of it."

Chapter 240 Selection

"Now we can only hope those guys don't do anything unnecessary."

Withdrawing his strange gaze, Xiangu Yong focused his attention on the scenery rushing past outside the car window, silently complaining to himself.

"Otherwise, this really is the most perfect knife."

……

Takagami no Mori!

Inside the school's training ground.

A young girl, dressed in a pure white training uniform, is doing stretching exercises on the training field.

The girl didn't look very old, maybe twelve or thirteen at most. In terms of school age, she would probably be in sixth grade or first year of junior high.

However, despite the girl's young age and the lingering immaturity of her appearance, she is already a strikingly beautiful young woman.

However, more important than a girl's appearance is the aura she exudes.

That sharp quality is like a finely forged sword; though it may look delicate, it is both soft and strong.

There are quite a few girls training on the field right now.

Everyone else was in pairs or threes, helping each other, but this girl was all alone.

"Yukina, you really are here."

Just then, an excited female voice rang out.

Immediately following was a hug that the girl couldn't avoid; he pulled her into his arms.

The soft touch on the back of her head instantly brought a helpless expression to the face of the girl named Setsuna.

"Sayaka, don't keep doing this, it's hot."

Setsuna's expression looked helpless, but if you looked closely, you could see a hidden joy in the corners of her mouth.

"Yukina, you are still too thin. Did you not eat properly while I was away?"

The hands that were originally wrapped around the girl's slender waist began to move erratically.

Yukina, who was enjoying this moment of joy, suddenly changed her expression and broke free from the girl's embrace.

"Sayaka, why are you back?"

"Didn't you accept a long-term protection assignment?"

She didn't notice her friend's strange thoughts behind her. She felt that her friend had developed too well, and while she was a little annoyed, she was also puzzled as to why her good friend had returned so quickly.

This is her best friend, Sayaka Kirasaka!

She is a current dancer at the Lion King Organization, having just graduated and begun taking on missions.

Takagami Forest is the training institution of the Lion King Organization.

The students trained here will all work in the Lion King Organization.

Students trained by the Lion King Organization generally only have two career options.

Sword Witch and Dancer Wei Yuan.

Sword Witch: As the name suggests, she is a witch who is proficient in swordsmanship. In fact, in addition to swordsmanship, she is also proficient in various weapons and close combat techniques. Her signature skill is "Spirit Vision", which allows her to foresee the future in a short period of time during battle.

Therefore, the work of the Sword Wizard in the Lion King's organization is generally direct combat and breakthrough.

And she was a sword sorceress.

Wu Weiyuan: Proficient in curses and assassination techniques, she is usually not good at close combat. Most of the curses she uses are ranged and have a huge range, as well as many defensive curses.

Therefore, Wu Weiyuan's job is generally assassination and bodyguard work.

This is the profession of my good friend, Sayaka Kirasaka.

Her best friend had just graduated, and the Lion King organization assigned her a simple task: to protect an Arab prince within the territory.

Although it sounds simple, it still takes a month.

There must be something wrong with my friend coming back early.

"I'm not too sure either."

"I received the notice suddenly, instructing me to return to the Forest of High Gods immediately."

The girl named Kirasaka Sayaka showed a fleeting hint of regret in her eyes, which was quickly replaced by a smile that filled her entire face.

"How could this be?"

Yukina was a little surprised, then smiled and said.

"Perhaps there is a more important task to be assigned to you, Sayaka, after all, your grades have always been excellent."

This friend of mine possesses physical qualities that most women don't have, and her spiritual power and comprehension have always far surpassed those of her peers.

This gives her considerable close-combat ability, even though she is not good at close combat.

"So, Sayaka, did you hand over your task to the other seniors?"

It was just a casual question.

Naturally, the guard duty could not be abandoned halfway, nor could it be handed over to the Imperial Observatory; it could only be carried out within the Lion King Organization.

Of course, she didn't expect a reply from Kirasaka Sayaka when she asked this casually.

After all, many of the Lion King Organization's missions are top secret and cannot be revealed casually, not even to close friends.

but……

Sayaka Kirasaka shook her head.

"As far as I know, no one is coming to replace me; the prince is now being protected by the Self-Defense Forces."

"Oh? How can that be..."

"Yukina, have you noticed that there are more people in Takagami Forest?"

Saya Kirasaka pointed to the training ground, then to the adjacent log cabin.

Yukina didn't quite understand what Kirasaka Sayaka meant.

But he still nodded obediently.

Actually, she had already noticed this situation a long time ago.

In the last three days, the number of people inside the Lion King organization has been increasing.

However, she did not wake up at that time.

She thought the Lion King organization was preparing for some important, large-scale mission.

Now it seems that it's not just that.

"As far as I know, many of my predecessors have put aside their tasks, accepted the summons, and temporarily returned to the Forest of High Gods."

"The Lion King Organization is carrying out a very important mission."

This was the first time Xuecai had heard such an explanation.

She didn't say anything, she just quietly looked at Sayaka Kirasaka.

Of course, this is also because she knew absolutely nothing about it.

After all, compared to himself, a useless trainee, his friend, being a full-time employee, was more likely to obtain useful information.
