The Handbook for Completing Demi-Human Girls

Chapter 491: Easter

The matter concerning that goat horn temporarily came to a close with "Helaire handling it," but before that, Fisher repeatedly confirmed the details of disposing of it.

The power of this goat horn was very bizarre. Although it could greatly enhance one's own rank, this was not without a price. Fisher's thoughts had just been tampered with, and he suspected Gou Wen's thoughts had also been tampered with to a certain extent. For example, just now he was so enthusiastically wanting to find the item he lost, but now he had a look of indifference.

Their group of three plus one camel was wrapped in Helaire's morning light and flying back. Fisher looked at Gou Wen sitting in front, secretly told Helaire his speculations, but she didn't care much, instead saying,

"Isn't this just right? Look at him, he fought with Sorobato to that extent earlier, miserably looking for that whatever thing outside for a full four days. Even if that Holy Artifact took effect on him, it's not necessarily a bad thing. At least now he is obediently leaving with us, isn't he? Incidentally, you can also research the specific effects of that thing, why not go ahead with it?"

Still have to hand it to you.

Fisher glanced at Helaire beside him who was smilingly offering suggestions, thinking thusly.

However, he indeed wasn't prepared to expose this matter right now. Gou Wen's current condition was too terrible; it was better to take him back to the Ideal State to rest first.

Fisher glanced at Gou Wen in front, who was crossing his arms and humming a song, seemingly Feeling Completely Relieved. After pausing for a moment, he opened his mouth and said,

"Since Sorobato is thoroughly dead this time, all your business is completely finished. Aren't you going back to see your wife?"

Hearing this, the ragged Gou Wen's ears twitched. Subsequently, he turned his head to look at Fisher, smiled disdainfully, and then opened his mouth to say,"Heh, you don't know, in our family, my words carry weight. I want to play outside a bit longer; whenever I say I'm going back, that's when I'll go back. She doesn't even dare to let out a fart. Do you believe or not that when the time comes, she will even come up and beg me to go home?"

"..."

Fisher pursed his lips, just wanting to say something, but looking at Gou Wen's unbridled and confident appearance before his eyes, Fisher swallowed back the words he was about to say, silently sitting back beside Helaire behind him.

He suspected Gou Wen's brain had already been wrecked by that goat horn.

Helaire laughed. Under her guidance, Fisher and the others very quickly returned to the vicinity of the Ideal State. Although the environment below was roughly the same as before, in Fisher's senses, something more seemed to have appeared here...

At this moment, his eyes slightly flickered with squirming ∞ symbols one by one. Reminded by his power, he very quickly discovered that in a place tens of kilometers outside the Ideal State, scattered large trees had appeared at some unknown time. Beside those large trees stood many Demi-human Races wearing Tree Continent attire, their ranks all around the Fourteenth-Tier.

Those large trees didn't seem like physical entities, but more like things in the shape of trees converging from strands of light. Fisher didn't recognize the origin and purpose of that thing.

But when he saw that group of Fourteenth-Tier beings, Fisher very quickly recalled Tao Gong casting a wide net to recruit on the Tree Continent earlier, and it seemed this was the job they were ordered to do... planting a certain kind of tree.

"What are they doing?"

"Ah, that..." Helaire heard Fisher's question, she also narrowed her eyes and looked over there, and only then smiled and turned her head to explain for Fisher, "Those are the 'Eye Trees' planted by the elves, coming from a certain mark of Lord World Tree's power. Lord World Tree is the only existence among the three Demigods unable to move her true body, so Lord God gave the Loom of Fate to her, granting her power exceeding the other two brothers..."

"Now that the Loom of Fate is stolen, the World Tree, whose true body cannot move, needs another way to accurately channel her power; this thing is the 'Eye Tree'. Presumably, Tao Gong recruiting those Demi-human Races earlier was exactly for doing this job. After all, not everyone can transport these Eye Trees. The elves coming to transport it themselves would be too obvious, so they could only resort to this inferior strategy."

Fisher looked at the approximately dozens of Eye Trees in the distance, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully,

"Where exactly is the World Tree's true body? It seems she isn't on the Tree Continent either, otherwise she absolutely wouldn't sit idly by when we escaped earlier."

"Your guess is right, Lord World Tree, like the other two Demigods, has her fixed guarding place. Accurately speaking, she is located within the Pillar of the world. The phantom you saw was a shadow she cast from the Dimension of Rules, which is why we couldn't touch her at that time. As the eldest among the three Demigods and the staunch maintainer of stability, the former World Tree rarely truly displayed her power. Lord Dragon God was even scolded by her for frequently flying back from the Crevice; this is also the reason they two often quarreled..."

"But now, the death of the Elf King and the theft of the Loom of Fate have thoroughly enraged her. These Eye Trees acting as links to the Dimension she resides in are proof... Bing's reincarnation will soon end, and she should also come to take care of the matters here. Her coming to handle the matters here is already an established fact. Once an Eye Tree is planted, it cannot be uprooted unless Lord World Tree lifts it herself. The Tsubaki and Margaret should have also sensed the approaching danger."

Fisher stroked his chin. Actually, he had always had a doubt,

"Can the fury of a Twentieth-Tier Demigod be blocked relying merely on a Loom of Fate?"

Helaire spread her hands, smiling at Fisher,

"The specific properties of a True God's item cannot be known to others. Whether it can block it, I'm not clear either. But honestly speaking, what does whether it can block it or not have to do with us? As long as she finishes, we take the teardrop and leave to report back, isn't that enough? What you should consider are the matters afterwards, for example, your plans after expelling death."

Plans after expelling death?

Of course, he would return to the time space where he was supposed to be. He still had to go see Renee, handle Elizabeth's matter, give the deserving Ring to Valentiina still in the egg, use the punishments for Raphaela and himself, fulfill the promise with Jasmine... and also various matters with Eliog and Alajina. Then, just as he thought earlier, wash his hands of the martial arts world after finishing.

Everything after expelling death would be so beautiful, except for this Angel before his eyes. What should he do with her?

"...Although it's a bit of a buzzkill to say, I should be returning to the place I originally came from; there are many people I care about there."

"People you care about, what people you care about? As long as your heart wishes, home is everywhere under heaven, why stubbornly stick to one place? Just like me, one must live unrestrainedly, to feel gratification, you know? Fisher, as someone who has been through it, I..."

"..."

In front, Gou Wen who was completely muddleheaded started to express his lofty sentiments again. Fisher glanced at him wordlessly, the symbol on his hand flashed slightly, and subsequently he waved out a gust of wind, directly slapping the originally extremely weak Gou Wen into unconsciousness. He fell into the morning light below, even startling the camel under Helaire.

Helaire still looked at Fisher smilingly, paying no attention to Gou Wen. Instead she tilted her head, suddenly opening her mouth to ask,

"So, you didn't leave with the song at that time also because of this reason?"

Helaire's words were tactful, but Fisher's response was very frank,

"Mm, that's right."

"Then, it seems your arrangements after the end are already destined. No matter how much, I can't compare to those you care about... If you don't choose me, I can only come find you myself."

Fisher raised an eyebrow slightly. Within his Neither Agree Nor Disagree expression, the feeling of worrying about this bad Angel falling in the years to come once again surged in his heart.

Helaire might truly be very sly, but in the future war where the World Tree, Chain of Heaven, and Dragon God all wither, in the destiny where Sanctuary and Tree Continent completely vanish, no matter what she probably couldn't resist, right?

If she really would come find him, then long after he was born, at a very, very early time she should have met him. Yet he only met her after returning to the past; didn't this in a certain sense corroborate that she would definitely die in the future?

When this thought arose, Fisher's breathing even slightly stagnated. After pausing for a moment, he finally said,

"...Helaire, otherwise you come back with me."

"Yo, aren't you afraid other females you know will tear you apart?"

Helaire smiled mischievously, opening her arms, using an extremely aggrieved and overly squeamish voice to Vividly Described imitate an "interesting" scene,

"Oh heavens, the Fisher chased by death is now going back to the past to expel death. I'm very worried about him; I'll wait for him to return here. I wait and wait and wait, and then finally, with a 'bang', brilliant, Fisher is back! Wait, but he also came back holding a beautiful, beautiful Angel I completely don't know! That Angel glanced at me, and then disdainfully said to me, 'You whatever whoever, your Fisher is mine from now on, you and those other women can scramble now'..."

After finishing imitating, she smiled again looking at Fisher beside her and said,

"If it's like this, what would the reactions of those ladies be, and what would your outcome be?"

Fisher's face darkened, but he also read the tactful refusal in Helaire's words. He didn't retort her, merely silently looking forward, not opening his mouth for a while.

In the silence, he finally opened his mouth and said,

"I don't know their reactions, but I would probably die."

"Hahahaha..."

Helaire was amused by Fisher. She crossed her legs on the camel. Very soon, that lush greenness wrapping the outline of the Ideal State appeared in their line of sight. She didn't continue the topic of "whether to go back with Fisher or not", merely saying,

"Rest assured, you won't die. Even if the world ends, you will be fine."

"Is my life that tough?"

"You bear heavy Reproduction Ability on you, provoking so many females. If your life wasn't tough, you'd have been hacked to death long ago, right?"

As the morning light slowly descended, before about to arrive at the periphery of the Ideal State, Helaire smiled, replying thusly.

Fisher and the others didn't fly directly to the vicinity of the Ideal State, because Helaire's current identity was Cain, so in the end they still obediently walked back to the Ideal State on foot.

The barrier at the gate seemed to possess recognition of their identities, so Fisher entered the Ideal State without facing any obstruction. And right after entering, Fisher discovered the scene before his eyes was greatly different from before.

The originally very crude, clumsy imitation of Tree Continent architecture had become much more exquisite at this moment. Even stranger, some bizarre-looking things were hanging on them at this time, but they were probably the different preferences of various races. For example, some races had ancient reproductive worship, so they would hang things resembling XX on top of buildings, looking somewhat indecent; more were some animal bones or wild flowers. The current Ideal State looked like a multi-racial cultural hodgepodge.

On the stone tower in the distance, some white flowers resembling lilies were also hung at this moment. The top of the tall tower was not flashing golden light at this moment, seemingly indicating Margaret and Asuka Karasawa were not there at this time.

"What's going on... here?"

Carrying the unconscious Gou Wen on his shoulder, Fisher looked at the scenery before his eyes and opened his mouth asking thusly.

"Ah, seems like because of little Karasawa's help, the speed of controlling the Loom is unimaginably fast. Progress that originally needed another week is estimated to be completed in these past few days. So to celebrate, that Transferred Person prepared to celebrate a festival from their world. Of course, it's an adapted version, otherwise that group of Hyena Species wouldn't have hung big XXs at the door."

"Is that so..."

"Teacher Fisher!! You're back!!"

Right at this time, an extremely pleasantly surprised voice suddenly transmitted from the direction of the stone tower in the distance. Fisher turned his head and looked, only to see Asuka Karasawa wearing a white robe carrying a small Basket running towards his side.

When closer, Fisher finally discovered that inside that Basket were entirely eggs of some bird species, just artificially painted with some red pigment.

Behind the running Asuka Karasawa, at the doorway of that stone tower, stood that Transferred Person Margaret. It seemed Asuka Karasawa was just together with her earlier, or rather, Asuka Karasawa had been together with the other party these past few days.

"Karasawa..."

Asuka Karasawa's small face was flushed. Looking at her posture, she was originally prepared to directly dive over. But perhaps seeing the unconscious Gou Wen still carried on Fisher's shoulder at this time, or perhaps because from her peripheral vision she saw the smiling Helaire beside Fisher, in short, she finally didn't do so, merely walking panting up to Fisher, sizing up Fisher and the Gou Wen carried on his shoulder, and asked,

"Teacher Fisher, truly, where did you go these past few days? When Mr. Mikhail returned earlier, you and Mr. Gou Wen were both outside. Asking C-Cain she also didn't say anything, truly, making me..."

"We're already fine. What about you, what are you doing with these red eggs?"

"Ah, these, these are Easter Eggs prepared for tomorrow's Easter. I also sewed some rabbits; they can be used when celebrating the festival tomorrow. Um... no need to worry, I worked very hard these few days. It can be fully completed by the day after tomorrow at the latest, and then the teardrop can be taken away!"

Tomorrow, huh...

Exactly, the seventh day agreed with Helaire was also tomorrow.

Fisher looked at Margaret in the distance from afar. She seemed to notice Fisher's gaze, so she also smiled, raised her hand, and waved at him.

In the distant Residential Area, quite a few chubby figures of those Snake-People from before vaguely walked past. It seemed since Tsubaki brought them back, they had adapted very well.

"Where did Mikhail go?"

"Ah, Mr. Mikhail, he's been staying in his room all along, Talking to Oneself. I even thought something happened to him... oh, and Nekelia, she has been staying alone all the time, occasionally going out to play or something."

"Ha, Mikhail is definitely chatting with Michael. Since that broken eye of his could communicate with him, they chat non-stop every day. He also told me earlier to pay attention; it seems Archangel Gabriel left the vortex of wisdom in the Sanctuary, and also brought along that precious Holy Artifact of yours."

"Left?"

Fisher frowned, looking at Helaire beside him, evidently somewhat worried about Eimhart following Gabriel. But Helaire appeared very relaxed, she only said,

"Rest assured, this might be a good thing. Lord Gabriel hasn't had such an obvious reaction for a very, very long time. Perhaps it's related to that Holy Artifact? Moreover, Lord Gabriel is a very peaceful Angel; even when she was mad, she didn't do anything, let alone now, just set your heart at ease..."

Actually, that guy Eimhart was quite likable after interacting for a long time. Even Valentiina liked to bully him a bit, which showed he was actually very easy to get along with.

It was just Fisher couldn't be certain whether Gabriel's illness was worsening or improving under Eimhart's influence. It was also possible that under Eimhart's influence Gabriel brought him to find himself, which wasn't impossible at all. This way at least he could confirm his condition first.

Not seeing each other for so long, Fisher mostly felt he was missing him.

Walking and walking, Fisher's pupils flickered slightly again. Having entered the Mythic Rank at this moment, he keenly felt someone else watching him.

He turned his head to look, discovering Tsubaki standing amidst the buildings in the extreme distance.

Separated by nearly half a mile, their gazes met at this moment as if by coincidence.

Fisher almost forgot, entering the Mythic Rank himself, they definitely could also perceive it.

The distant Tsubaki of course sensed Fisher's condition at this very moment, precisely because of this he appeared quite astonished. But very soon, he withdrew his gaze, not showing any other emotions.

"Teacher Fisher, you must rest well tonight. Tomorrow is Easter, I prepared many, many fun and delicious things... Margaret also taught me how to make some French dishes, I'll make them for you to eat when the time comes, how about it?"

"Ah - no problem."

Fisher, who had just withdrawn his gaze, finally brought his attention back, responding to Asuka Karasawa somewhat sluggishly.

Under Margaret's influence, the Ideal State's internal atmosphere was still quite nice, just like the appearance a grand festival should have, warm and happy.

Tomorrow was a festival unfamiliar to Fisher, Easter. And after tonight, Helaire would be a true female Angel.
