The next day, the members of the Markdala Monastery led by Rosette went to a secret stronghold on the East Coast with Defoe. According to the information provided by Defoe, that was where the sinners led by Ain were. They were going there to eliminate Ain's helpers and weaken his power as much as possible.
Satsuki did not object to this. After all, Rosette's lifespan had recovered, so she could remove Chrono's seal at will. It would not be like in the original work, where even if she encountered a powerful enemy, she would still have to choose between death if the seal was lifted and death if the seal was not lifted.
Strictly speaking, this setting was still acceptable. After all, signing a contract with a devil did consume soul power, and a powerful devil like Chrono was naturally not something the soul of an ordinary person could withstand. Therefore, using his power would reduce Rosette's lifespan, and she would have her hands and feet tied in front of the boss, so it was reasonable.
From this, it could be seen that the previous animations were much more logical than the later ones. At least, Rosette's case was a matter of life and death. However, many of the protagonists in later animations were full of cheats, but in the end, they shelved their power for boring reasons such as "wanting to live a peaceful life" or "not wanting to get involved in a fight anymore". In the end, they only exploded in pain when they saw their loved ones and girlfriends being pressed to the ground by the villain.
Satsuki had no sympathy for the plight of such people, and even sneered at them.
What were you doing earlier?
In Satsuki's opinion, such people had no idea about their own power. Those stupid protagonists did not seem to understand the principle that an innocent man's wealth would arouse his own ruin. They thought that as long as they did not use their power, everything would be fine …. Did they think everyone else was blind and stupid?
If they really wanted to live a peaceful life, there's a rope over there. Delete your character and start over.
Speaking of which, Fangzheng had seen a setting before. It was about a young man who could transform into a beautiful girl who fought magic, and the weapon in his hand was his avatar. If the weapon was broken, he would never be able to become a man again. This setting was much more reasonable than "I just want to live a normal and peaceful life"!
At least the audience could understand the protagonist's unwillingness to fight when they were brought in.
If it were them, they would not be willing either.
Rosette and the others went to fight, while Soran brought Tamamo and Esmalia to Disneyland in Florida and played happily.
To Tamamo, these human entertainment facilities were only slightly interesting. However, to Esmaria, this was her first time visiting Disneyland. Whether it was the colorful amusement facilities or the gorgeous scenery, all of them were too much for her eyes to take in.
"Ugh … Let's take a break."
After a ride on the roller coaster, he took the two little guys to sit on a chair and stretched himself comfortably. Then, he looked at Esmaria with a grin.
"How do you feel?"
"Very, very powerful!"
Having just gotten off the roller coaster, Esmaria's little face was flushed with excitement. She panted and nodded with force.
"This is the first time I've been to a place like this...."
Esmaria's expression was a little melancholic.
"I think I will never forget this day for the rest of my life."
"That's too much. If you want to come again in the future, I can bring you here anytime."
Soran reached out her hand and stroked Esmaria's head. Then, she stared at the girl in front of her and asked softly.
"Esmaria, what are you going to do after returning to Portugal?"
"I...."
Esmaria's expression suddenly turned gloomy. She lowered her head and looked at the ground at her feet in silence. Seeing Esmaria's reaction, Soran raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"If you don't want to go back, then.... Do you want to go to Japan with me?"
".... Japan?"
Hearing her suggestion, Esmarya looked up at her in surprise, not understanding what she meant. After all, America was already very far away from Esmaria. Japan, which was on the other side of the world.... She didn't even know what kind of place it was.
"It's an island country in Asia, and it's my home now. If you want, I can take you to Japan. You can start a new life there. Of course, the language and cultural habits there are completely different from those in Europe and America. You may need some time to adapt, but I can guarantee that you can have a new start there. The problems that bother you here won't be a problem there. "
Soran curled her lips. The stupid dualism of monotheism was their foundation, but it only applied in the West. As long as Esmaria stayed within the sphere of influence of this religion, the power she possessed would definitely attract the coveting of all parties in the future. But it would be different if she went to East Asia. The monotheism had no influence there. The local Japanese gods in Tianjin were all killed by Soran. The demonic forces represented by the Demon Eye were also uprooted by Soran. It could be said that East Asia was now Soran's private land.
No matter if you believe in God or demons, if you dare to come to East Asia, I guarantee you won't be able to return.
"And if you want, I can find someone to train you and make you an idol singer.... I think that suits you very well."
"Idol singer?"
"Yeah."
Looking at Esmarya's fair and tender face, Bi stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek with a smile. She had heard Esmaria's songs before. Although they weren't bad, she didn't like the Western aria or soprano. In her opinion, this thing was too old-fashioned. Esmarya was only twelve years old. She was at the age where she was full of energy and vigor. Singing an aria or whatever was a little too old-fashioned.
Of course, from a musical point of view, it was not a good choice to start developing in Japan. Although there was a place for Japanese music in the world's pop music scene, the center of music was still in Europe and America. But Soran believed that Esmaria was not the kind of girl who wanted to become a superstar just for fame and success. Besides, even if she wanted to, she could. With Soran's strength, she could get one even if she threw money at it.
Fangzheng used to be a manager in 765, so he was not unfamiliar with this aspect.
After listening to Soran's explanation, Esmaria was obviously tempted, but on the other hand, she was hesitant about going to an unfamiliar country in the Far East to start over. It was not like coming to the United States from Portugal. At least there were people here who spoke English to communicate with. If she went to Japan, she would have to learn a new language and culture from scratch....
"Think about it carefully. I'll go buy a drink."
Of course, Soran did not intend to let Esmaria get an answer immediately. She patted Esmaria's head again, then glanced at Tamamo who was chewing on a piece of bread.
"Little Yu, protect Esmaria well. I'll be back soon."
"Woo —"
Hearing Soran's order, Tamamo finished the bread in her hand, burped contentedly, and nodded. Soran then turned around and left, leaving Esmaria and Tamamo sitting on the chair.
"Japan …."
Esmaria looked up at the sky and muttered to herself. She had never been to Japan. She didn't even know such a country existed. But now, Sister Soran had invited her to Japan …. Should she go or not?
The uneasiness of going to a strange world was naturally strong, but for Esmaria, returning to her hometown wasn't a good thing. She did not tell anyone that her parents had died and that she was adopted by a relative after that. But her relatives didn't treat her well either. They even spoke ill of her because of her special power. Frankly speaking, Esmaria's life there was not much better than Harry Potter's life in his uncle's house.
Because of this, when the small troupe came to the village and discovered Esmarya's singing potential, they offered to take her on a tour. Only then did the family push Esmarya away as if they had gotten rid of a hot potato. Even if she returned to Japan now, what could she do?
Thinking of this, Esmaria turned to Tamamo who was beside her.
"What kind of place is Japan?"
"Woo....?"
Hearing Esmaria's question, Tamamo turned around and tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand English, let alone Portuguese.
But at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Then, why don't you come with me?"
"Huh?!"
Hearing this voice, Esmaria hurriedly turned her head and looked forward. She saw a man with long white hair, brown skin, and glasses walking slowly towards her with a smile on his face. She was surrounded by people, but when the white-haired man walked towards her, the crowd parted on their own as if they didn't even notice him.
"Who …. Who are you?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Esmaria couldn't help but tremble. She could feel that his gaze was terrifying. Although this man had a smile on his face, there wasn't a trace of a smile in his eyes. They were cold and emotionless. He looked at her as if she was some kind of object.
"My name is Ian. Hello, Surrogate."
While speaking, the man curled up the corners of his mouth.
"If you don't mind, please come with me."
"…."
"Don't you want to change this world?"
Ian smiled as he looked at Esmaria who had curled up into a ball in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the sky.
"Think about it. You've obtained the power bestowed by the gods, but what have you gotten in return? Isn't all the suffering and grief you've suffered because of it? You haven't done anything wrong, so why are you being treated like this? "
"… I, I don't know what you're talking about …."
"You know what I mean, Surrogate."
While speaking, the man stretched out his hand to Esmaria.
"Come, come with me. Let's change this world together … change everything."
"Woo —!"
However, as soon as the man stretched out his hand, Tamamo slapped it away. Then, the little blonde loli stood in front of Esmaria and bared her sharp canine teeth at the man.
"A cute puppy."
The white-haired man stared at Tamamo without changing his expression.
"But unfortunately, this isn't the place for you to appear."
Saying that, the man suddenly stretched out his hand and tried to grab Tamamo by the neck. However, just as his hand was about to reach Tamamo no Mae, a blue flame appeared out of thin air and instantly burned the man's finger. Tamamo no Mae opened her hands and glared at him fiercely. Her nine tails kept swaying behind her, and the blue fox fire swayed with the wind, turning into an indestructible barrier.
She's a nine-tailed demon fox that has dominated the demon world for thousands of years. She's not afraid of a demon!
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, the white-haired man's eyes turned cold. He raised his hand and was about to do something, but suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"How dare you kidnap my little sister!"
While speaking, Dusk flashed past and appeared in front of the white-haired man. Seeing Dusk appear, the white-haired man was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand. Then Lao Ai grabbed his left hand and pushed him forward. Looking at his lower abdomen, he received a kick and fell to the street.
Dusk took another step forward and stepped on his chest. He raised his vinegar-bowl-sized fist and looked at the white-haired man.
"I slaughtered millions of gods and became the leader of the eastern demons. My name is Zhen Guanxi. You glib-tongued demon, a dog-like thing, you dare to be presumptuous here? Do you really think I don't dare to attack you? " The punch landed squarely on his nose, causing blood to spurt out. His nose was crooked to one side, but it was as if he had opened a sauce shop. Salty, sour, and spicy flavors all rolled out.
The white-haired man couldn't get up and shouted, "Wait!" while Dusk scolded, "You bastard! You still dare to answer? " He raised his fist and punched at the edge of his eye socket and the tip of his eyebrow. With a single punch, the ridges of his eye cracked and black beads went in and out. It was as if he had opened a silk shop, red, black and purple beads were about to burst out.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding tourists turned pale. Who dared to try to stop him?
The white-haired man wanted to struggle, but in front of Dusk, his strength seemed to have dissipated. Dusk saw the white-haired man struggling and shouted, "Hey! You poor man! I told you not to disturb people's peace, but you came to die. I won't forgive you! "
As he spoke, he punched again. The sun was right in front of him, but it was like a dojo with all the water and land. When Lao Ai looked again, he saw the white-haired man lying on the ground. He could only exhale air from his mouth. He was unable to move.
"Hmph, you're seeking death."
Looking at the white-haired man who was beaten up by him on the ground, Rozen snorted coldly and waved his hand at Tamamo and Esmalia.
"Let's go, we'll bring this guy back!"
Dusk looked at the white-haired man again and snorted.
"You faked your death, I'll deal with you slowly!"
