The high priest's staff hit the ground again, and the bubbles in front of everyone suddenly turned into bubbles and disappeared.
it asked expectantly.
"Everyone, what are your thoughts?"
"If anyone among you can really awaken the princess, I will discuss with the princess to open the treasure house of Fish Palace City and let you choose a treasure as a thank you gift."
"The future of Yugong City is in your hands!"
Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other.
Nohara Rintaro bent down to pick up the cigarette butts on the ground, wiped them carefully, and then put them into the storage bag on the side of the combat uniform.
He behaves as if he has changed as a different person, becoming mature and steady, like a gentleman who has been passed down from generation to generation.
He said calmly.
"Priest Dara, it actually doesn't matter whether it's a treasure or not. I just want to help Yugong City get out of crisis."
"So, you agreed?" The high priest was surprised and happy.
"Well, let me, Nohara Rintaro, offer the precious awakening kiss to the princess." Nohara Rintaro solemnly promised.
"Thank you so much, you are such a good person!"
The high priest rushed to His Highness excitedly and shook Nohara Rintaro's hand.
"Then, please follow me this way, and I will take you to the princess's palace."
"Jin, please entertain the other guests."
"good."
Nohara Rintaro readily agreed and followed the high priest.
Talking while walking.
"Priest Dara, you still don't know the princess's name?"
"Princess, her name is Xiji."
"Xiji? It's such a beautiful and elegant name like a summer flower. It reminds me of my first love..."
Seeing Rintaro Nohara gradually walking away during the conversation, Maho Kosagawa on the side finally reacted and said angrily.
"Hey, Nohara, wait, stop!"
He went up and grabbed the back collar of his combat uniform and asked.
"You guys, are you confused by the princess's beauty?"
"Confused? Of course not, I am very conscious." Nohara Rintaro said in surprise.
"Then why are you going to wake up the princess just to care for yourself? Why don't you ask everyone for their opinions?"
Nohara Rintaro answered matter-of-factly.
"That's because among us, my kissing skills are the best. If I fail, you won't have any need to try."
"How do you know? This kind of thing is not certain!"
Kosagawa Maho retorted subconsciously.
Looking at Kosagawa Maho in front of him, Nohara Rintaro seemed to notice something and asked with interest.
"Why, Sagawa, do you think you ninjas also have to do their homework in this area?"
"Huh?"
"This...that...the training content is confidential!"
Kosagawa Maho was stunned, his face turned slightly red and he said.
Seeing this, Nohara Rintaro laughed loudly.
"Interesting, Xiao Sagawa, do you want to compete to see who can wake up the princess?"
"Who wants to compete with you?" Kosagawa Maho said forcefully as the blush on his face widened.
"But, no one said that the princess' lover must be a man, right?"
"All in all, in order to protect the safety of Neon, everyone must do their part, and I am no exception!"
Hearing this, Nohara Rintaro stared at Kosagawa Maho with a strange look.
He sighed sadly.
"Xiao Sagawa, you have grown up."
"I just don't want you to say that!"
...
The group of people walked not far into the palace when they saw a strange tower.
It stands in the center of the entire Crystal Palace, and the milky white tower exudes holy light under the light from above.
It looks like an upright ivory, but more like a giant pillar supporting the sky.
Complex and exquisite patterns are carved on the tower body, like the most exquisite handicraft.
But unexpectedly, when they arrived at the bottom of the tower, they discovered that the tower had no door.
The only way to the top of the tower is through the scallop-like steps floating around the White Tower.
At this moment, the high priest pointed to the top of the tower and solemnly gave instructions.
"Dear guests, the princess is sleeping on the top floor of this fish tooth tower right now."
"But now, the entire Fishtooth Tower is shrouded in that evil curse. Except for the princess's beloved, no one else can get close to the tower."
"Is there such a thing?"
Kosagawa Maho was a little disbelieving and tried to take a step closer to the tower.
In an instant, the White Tower lit up with a dazzling light, and a powerful force of resistance came, sending Kosagawa Maho flying backwards and landing on the ground.
"oh?"
Behind her, Rintaro Nohara noticed the white light flashing for a moment, and his eyes fixed on it.
This kind of fluctuation is the fluctuation of spiritual power.
This means that as long as the spiritual power is strong enough, you can climb this tower!
Thinking of this, he quickly lit a cigarette and then drank it in one puff.
In an instant, smoke billowed out, condensing on various parts of his body like armor.
In an instant, he was put on a layer of heavy armor.
After getting ready, Nohara Rintaro, who transformed into a heavily armored warrior, took a step forward and slowly took a small step closer to the White Tower.
On the white tower, the light lit up again.
A huge force of resistance came, and Nohara Rintaro's feet suddenly suffered huge pressure, and his ankles were submerged into the soil.
But in the end, he still stood up.
It works!
After a successful step, Nohara Rintaro suddenly felt confident and took another step forward.
As if he felt that his majesty had been challenged, the next moment, the white tower once again sparked light.
But this time, the light was strong, several times stronger, and the huge ball of light struck Nohara Rintaro like a heavy punch!
boom!
Wrapped in thick smoke, Nohara Rintaro's body was knocked straight away, and he rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
Fortunately, I was safe and did not suffer any substantial damage.
"What the hell!"
After getting up, Nohara Rintaro's face turned red due to the lack of blood. He gathered powerful spiritual power and rushed inward again without believing in evil.
Then the scene reappeared.
Upon seeing this, Jin Honghei, who was gathering to eat melon, suddenly let out a chorus of exclamations.
"Fly, fly again."
"Hey, why did I say again?"
...
Looking at Kosagawa Maho and Nohara Rintaro who kept changing directions and charging towards the White Tower, Yagami Sora frowned slightly.
It seems that even the weapons in the arsenal can't cure the curse in front of me.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on an khaki stone slab half a man's height beside the white tower.
The stone slab is square in shape, with some strangely shaped symbols carved on its surface, which look like tadpoles gathered together or long snakes entangled in a ball.
He stepped forward, looked at the stone slab, and asked the high priest beside him
"Priest Dara, what is this?"
The high priest took a look and said suddenly.
"Ah, this is the evidence left by the devil who cursed the princess. It lists the sins of our fish-men clan in fish-man language. I am here to translate it for our distinguished guest."
It cleared its throat and began to read.
"First of all, it's a crime..."
The evidence left behind by the demon who cursed the princess...
Looking at the stone slab in front of him, Ye Shenkong held his chin up and fell into deep thought.
Looking at the busy people in front of her, Chiba Yui stood there awkwardly.
She thought about it, then tried it and took a step towards the White Tower.
After noticing that the White Tower was unresponsive, she tentatively continued to walk forward.
Without any hindrance, we arrived at the scallop steps of the White Tower.
Seeing this scene, the three golden, red and black fish on the side exclaimed in unison.
"The princess's lover has appeared!"
"ha?"
Seeing this scene, Kosagawa Maho, who had just been knocked out of the tower again, couldn't help but fall into shock.
Was he really right?
That princess's crush turned out to be... Chiba Yui?
The high priest next to her seemed particularly excited, with every scale on his body trembling slightly as he murmured.
"Great, Yugong City can be saved, Yugong City can be saved..."
At this moment, Ye Shenkong withdrew his gaze from the stone slab.
He raised his head and spoke thoughtfully.
"Chiba-san, come back."
"I think that Chiba-san's strength alone may not be able to awaken the mermaid princess."
"Why?"
Chiba Yui was slightly startled.
But he still subconsciously returned to Yashenkong and asked.
"Yakami-kun, did you discover something?"
"I do know something."
Ye Shenkong nodded.
"If my idea is correct, then I am probably the only one who can awaken that mermaid princess."
After that, he took steps and walked towards the White Tower.
Likewise, this time the White Tower did not respond.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Yashenkong stepped on the scallop stairs and quickly climbed up the steps.
Seeing this scene, the three golden, red and black fish on the side once again exclaimed in unison.
