Chapter 85

Kuro Usagi reacted instantly: "Although her performance was a bit lacking, she doesn't deserve to be called that."

Lin Que looked over in surprise: "Are there any five-digit beings worse than her?"

"Ah, this..."

A conflicted expression appeared on Kuro Usagi's face.

Thinking carefully, it seemed she really didn't have any five-digit beings weaker than Shirayuki-hime in her memory.

"Regardless, she is still Lady Shirayasha's subordinate god."

"It's better not to call her that when referring to her in public."

"Naturally, I will still give Shirayasha some face."

Lin Que shrugged and looked back at Kanroji Mitsuri in front of him.

Although he disparaged a certain 'disgrace of the five-digit range' in his daily life, the opponent was still a five-digit existence regardless.

As long as she is given enough time, Shirayuki-hime could even summon a wave of sufficient scale to destroy a small country.

Compared to an existence of that level, Kanroji Mitsuri, who was just an ordinary person a few minutes ago, is undoubtedly like heaven and earth.

Even after eating the Devil Fruit to improve her constitution, there is still a significant gap in basic strength compared to the opponent.

Being able to rise to the peak of the six-digit range all at once, and even enter the five-digit realm with a little training, must be related to that inexplicable surge just now.

"Kuro Usagi, you know what this situation is, right?"

"I don't know."

Kuro Usagi shook her head: "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a situation."

Without doing anything, her strength improved inexplicably.

Sitting at home, strength comes from the sky.

This is too enviable.

"By the way, could it be related to that Devil Fruit?"

Recalling what Kanroji Mitsuri experienced before her strength improved, Kuro Usagi guessed: "For example... that Devil Fruit activated the potential power in Kanroji's body, which is why she suddenly became stronger."

"Impossible, Devil Fruits don't have that effect."

Lin Que denied this guess.

However, after Kuro Usagi's reminder, his attention returned to the Devil Fruit he had excluded at the beginning.

Although the idea of activating potential power is completely irrelevant, there seems to be another possibility.

"Kuro Usagi, does Taotie exist in the Garden?"

"Taotie? There used to be one."

Kuro Usagi, who usually performs poorly, rarely played a role.

"But that Taotie had a very nasty and greedy personality and liked to steal other people's things."

"If I remember correctly, it even stole the dessert that was supposed to be offered to the Queen."

Seeing Kuro Usagi suddenly stop, Kanroji Mitsuri, who was to the side, asked curiously: "And then?"

"There is no 'and then'."

A bitter smile appeared on Kuro Usagi's face: "That Queen doesn't have a good temper."

As one of the three problem children of the Garden, it's already good if the Halloween Queen doesn't go out and cause trouble.

Being stolen from, and having the special dessert she had been looking forward to for days stolen, how could she possibly endure it?

Anyway, since that incident, the only Taotie in the Garden completely disappeared, and no one has ever seen its figure again.

It's just rumored that the food for the Halloween Queen's knights seemed quite good during those days.

"Eh? Just for stealing a dessert, it lost its life!"

Kanroji Mitsuri shivered: "That sounds so scary!"

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated."

Kuro Usagi comforted her: "How should I put it... as long as you follow her rules, she's actually quite easy to talk to."

After all, she is one of the rare problem children who will send people to clean up the mess after causing trouble.

Compared to other problem children who disappear after causing trouble or simply leave the cleanup work to others, this is already a very approachable performance.

Ending the topic about the Halloween Queen, Kuro Usagi's gaze turned to Lin Que.

After Lin Que's questioning, Kuro Usagi, who is actually not stupid, realized the potential meaning behind his words.

"Lin Que, you don't mean to say... Kanroji suddenly became stronger because she shared Taotie's Divine Spirit Grave?"

Lin Que shook his head: "I'm not sure about the specifics."

However, thinking about it, this is the only possibility he can think of at the moment.

As for whether it is or not, that can only be left to professionals to judge.

"Let's go, let's go to Thousand Eyes to have it identified." ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
