Just as Zhuge Cong was watching Hikigaya Hachiman leave and was about to continue with Miyano Shiho, he heard a familiar voice coming from the sky.
[Then came three clattering sounds as the stones hit the ground.]
[Zhuge Cong looked over and saw that it was Ishigami Senku and his two companions, who had arrived as late as they could have been.]
This chapter has not been reviewed
"You can't rush to film sets like this."
"You could have come a little later. If you had come even a little later, I would have already left with Shiho."
"You're all stuck here in the cold wind."
[Zhuge Cong spoke to Ishigami Senku and the others, explaining that the matter had already been resolved before the three of them arrived.]
"Isn't this indirectly showing how capable you are, boss, that you can solve this all by yourself?"
Deidara immediately spoke up.
"So, did we come all this way for nothing?"
"The damage this time seems to be much greater than the damage from the last battle with Zhugestan."
[Scorpion looked down at the Zhuge Liang exhibition below, which was ablaze with flames, and said.]
Judging from the size of the Zhuge exhibition alone, it's clear that the damage is far more severe than the Zhuge Stan incident.
The main problem was that it overwhelmed a parking lot, which, you know, was full of luxury cars.
"Who told you you came all this way for nothing?"
"You're not thinking of having us clean up the mess for you, are you?"
[Ishigami Senku seemed to realize something and said, after all, it seemed that cleaning up the battlefield was the only thing left to do.]
"You guessed right, you're late because of the fight. You can help clean up the battlefield and put out the fire. As for the scrap metal and such, there will be professionals to collect it."
"Okay, let's go, let's go."
After Zhuge Cong finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the three of them to leave quickly and not disturb him.
"Ugh, cleaning up the mess is such a hassle. Aren't there firefighters to put out fires?"
[Ishigami Senku and Sasori both guessed that Zhuge Cong's talk of cleaning up the battlefield was mainly a way of telling them to leave quickly and not disturb him and Miyano Shiho; of course, putting out the fire was also a real reason.]
"Just go when I tell you to, and try not to bother others if you can avoid it. If you don't leave soon, I'm going to cut your budget."
"Hey boss, I'm leaving now, don't deduct my pay!"
Upon hearing that Zhuge Cong wanted to cut his budget, Deidara immediately put on his mask and flew down to put out the fire.
Seeing this, Senku and Sasori also put on their masks and flew down after Deidara.
"The finale, the finale."
"Act Four, the ending of the second part of the Zhuge Cong story."
In the student council room, Fujiwara Chika somehow got hold of a small ceremonial cannon and fired it immediately after Ishigami Senku and the others flew away.
"We haven't even gotten close yet, they haven't even released any Easter eggs."
Yu Ishigami was startled by Chika Fujiwara's salute and then turned to Chika Fujiwara with a dark expression on his face.
"Hmph, you really don't understand at all."
"In a sense, the main content has already ended, and the content shown afterward, even if it is not a post-credits scene, is almost the same as a post-credits scene."
"After all, judging from the ending, if it were a normal movie or TV series, it could already be considered the end."
"So, there was no problem with my salute."
Even if it was put in the wrong place, just consider it as if it was put in ahead of time.
Listening to Fujiwara Chika's words, the rest of the students in the student council room suddenly felt that what Fujiwara Chika said actually made sense.
"It seems to be right."
"Wait a minute, this isn't right. How can this be compared to ordinary movies and TV series?"
Yu Ishigami suddenly woke up and said.
"Alright, alright, Ishigami-san and Fujiwara-san, wait until you've finished watching before you start arguing. The highlight and bonus content of the whole story is coming up soon."
As the student council president, Shirogane Miyuki coughed and spoke.
After hearing that Shirogane Miyuki had spoken, Fujiwara Chika and Ishigami Yu also quieted down.
Inside what appeared to be an extremely ordinary warehouse, Zhuge Cong sat at a table.
[There were four or five virtual projectors placed around the perimeter, one of which projected the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo and a falcon icon.]
Zhuge Cong curiously picked up a document from the table and saw that it was titled "Preliminary Report on the Avengers."
Zhuge Cong looked at the document with some curiosity, but did not open it. After all, it wouldn't be wise to rashly peek at such a document.
[Furthermore, Zhuge Cong was wondering why King had summoned him here, and whether King had deliberately placed these documents there, fearing that if he opened them, King would try to blackmail him.]
Just as Zhuge Cong was staring blankly at the document, a hand reached out and pressed it down.
Zhuge Cong looked up and saw that the person who had invited him was none other than King.
"I don't want you to see this, since I'm not sure if you have anything to do with it."
[King spoke to Zhuge Cong, then picked up a document next to the "Avengers Preliminary Report" and said...]
"This document is Agent Vermouth's assessment of you. Read it yourself."
After King finished speaking, he handed the document to Zhuge Cong.
[“In summary, Mr. Zhuge Cong has a tendency towards self-destruction.”]
[Zhuge Cong couldn't hold back any longer after seeing the first sentence and said to King.]
"I had self-destructive tendencies back then because I was about to die. Now, do you see if I still have any so-called self-destructive tendencies?"
After finishing his sentence, Zhuge Cong continued reading.
"A classic narcissist."
"That's not wrong either."
"Avengers assessment: Iron Man, suitable."
"I had no intention of joining your Avengers."
[After seeing that he had passed the test, Zhuge Cong said to King, "Although King indirectly saved my life and told me many things I didn't know..."]
However, Zhuge Cong still doesn't intend to join the Avengers, but he could consider forming an alliance with them.
"Keep watching."
King simply said this calmly.
"Zhuge Cong, not recommended?!"
[Zhuge Cong was a little surprised to see the "not recommended" label. What, Iron Man is allowed, but Zhuge Cong isn't?]
[If someone causes trouble for me in the future, can I say, "What does your contacting Iron Man have to do with me, Zhuge Cong?"]
"What does this mean? It's both acceptable and not recommended?"
[Zhuge Cong looked at King and said.]
"You yourself refused to join the Avengers, and we've also considered having you as an advisor, so you can better manage your Iron Legion."
"Hiring you as a consultant is a way of returning a favor, isn't it?"
King walked over to Zhuge Cong, sat down at the table, and said...
"You can't afford me to be your consultant, but I've agreed out of courtesy, though the salary can't be low."
[Zhuge Cong extended his hand and shook hands with King, then turned and left.]
[Halfway there, Zhuge Cong suddenly turned around and said.]
"Actually, you could have suggested forming an alliance with my Iron Alliance, but you've already done me a favor, so you can't back out now."
"One more thing, I'm willing to give up my consultant's salary in exchange for a small favor from you."
King nodded, indicating that he had agreed to Zhuge Cong's request.
"Hachiman Hikigaya and I are going to the center of L district to receive an award, and we need an award presenter."
"I bet you're thinking of inviting me on stage. Let me make it clear beforehand, I won't be participating."
King looked at Zhuge Cong and said.
"It wasn't you, it was someone else, you know."
[While Zhuge Cong wasn't explicitly named, King, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had already guessed who he was referring to.]
"This might be a little difficult."
"I'm not talking about one or two months' consulting salary, I'm talking about the entire amount."
"I'll figure something out."
