The "meeting" had ended.

Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood sat together on the rooftop of the highest point of the "castle," watching the scenes in the camp. They observed the little ones who were so tired they were wobbling and were being taken one by one by their older siblings back to their rooms to catch up on sleep. They watched as the "parents" who were leaving the castle yawning as they walked past the barracks. It was only after a long while that Yu Sheng finally withdrew his gaze, looking up at the thin clouds in the sky.

"They all went back to catch up on sleep, aren't you tired?" Yu Sheng didn't turn his head as he casually asked.

"Still too excited to sleep," Little Red Riding Hood replied, leaning back directly, lying down on the sloped rooftop of the castle, "...In a few days, I'll be able to take my driving test."

Yu Sheng thought for a moment: "What do you want for your birthday?"

"A car?"

"Can't afford it."

Little Red Riding Hood laughed, then shook her head: "Honestly, I haven't thought about it... never really had the mood to. I've always been scared—you better not make fun of me, I really am scared."

"Yeah, I know."

Then the two fell silent, enjoying the moment of peace.

After a long while, Little Red Riding Hood broke the silence: "By the way, I just thought carefully about what you said regarding the future management of the 'Fairy Tale Organization', and the future member development and identity 'inheritance'. It sounds quite worth looking forward to."

"Oh?" Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I thought you had a psychological shadow concerning the term 'new Little Red Riding Hood'."

"A little, but precisely because this term has always been a burden in my heart, I actually look forward to the future 'change'," the girl smiled, "Think about it, all along in the 'Fairy Tale Organization', whether it's Little Red Riding Hood or Snow White, every one of us was an orphan forced into nightmares. But from now on, the new Little Red Riding Hood could just be a mysticism graduate coming through a regular recruitment channel or a Spirit Realm detective who volunteered their resume...

"Without the fear of lifespan, without so much pain and loneliness, they're just looking for a long-term stable job. And we'll train them like teachers—normal work, normal vacations, when they put on the red cloak they are employees and apprentices of the organization, and when they take off the red cloak, they go home to be with their families.

"Of course, the first person I'll train might be Xiao Xiao, that kid has a really good talent and she has already established some initial 'communication' with the Black Forest. In the process of training her, I could probably quickly grasp how to teach a beginner to control the Wolf Pack without the influence of 'Anka Aela'. This experience will be useful for others too..."

Little Red Riding Hood babbled on, always with a warm and hopeful smile on her face, as if imagining the future "Little Red Riding Hoods" living normal and stable "working lives"—even if such "working" might still be a bit outrageous for ordinary people, it would already be an incredibly smooth life for the members of the Fairy Tale Organization.

Little Red Riding Hood smiled, as if she were also enjoying such a life.

Yu Sheng didn't interrupt the girl's babbling, he just listened patiently beside her until Little Red Riding Hood's voice gradually faded and she began to snore softly in the bright daylight.

A streak of golden color appeared at the edge of his vision. Yu Sheng saw two tufts of golden hair wiggling like antennae on the eaves, and then a mass of golden long hair started to crawl up along the rooftop like some kind of dark creature. Then the head of the Long-Haired Princess appeared at the rooftop edge—this hair monster peeked around, happily greeting Yu Sheng: "Brother, I'm here to find Red Hat!"

Yu Sheng pointed beside him: "She's asleep."

"I knew it," the Long-Haired Princess wrinkled her nose. A streak of golden hair continued to extend along the rooftop, carefully wrapping the sleeping Little Red Riding Hood and starting to lift her up, "I've lived in the same room as her for so many years. When I saw her look at the end of the meeting, I knew she'd definitely be out cold within half an hour."

Yu Sheng watched in astonishment, his eyes involuntarily falling on the large mass of hair moving across the rooftop: "With such long beautiful hair, in a story you'd be taking the poetic route, but you're acting like a goblin emerging from a cave, creeping in the dark..."

"What use is being poetic, can it reduce an enemy's attack and defense when facing a demon, or increase speed when escaping in a tower?" the Long-Haired Princess glanced at Yu Sheng, "At least I don't twist it into a strand to shoot out..."

Yu Sheng immediately fell silent: "..."

But the Long-Haired Princess quickly spoke up again, this time hesitantly: "...Brother, is it true that our orphanage is gone?"

"From the photos Li Lin sent, it's pretty much flattened," Yu Sheng sighed, "Only the guard post is still standing, and the lift gate at the main entrance—just the base remains."

"Oh, so Sleeping Beauty's 'workstation' is still there then," the Long-Haired Princess spoke nonsense, but then her expression became serious, "So, does that mean we'll be living here for a long time?"

"That's the current plan," Yu Sheng nodded, "After all, you don't have anywhere else to go for now. Of course, it ultimately depends on your own decisions—if you want to relocate, the Special Service Bureau and the Council will surely help, given that we just resolved an angel descent level event."

The Long-Haired Princess's eyes lit up: "Then, can we stay here and not move, but have the Special Service Bureau deposit the placement funds into our account according to the orphanage rebuilding budget?"

Yu Sheng: "..."

The girl in front hurriedly added another sentence: "And... and by the way, I'll put it on your travel agency's tab."

"Why do you always come up with the most random ideas?" Yu Sheng finally said, half-laughing, half-crying, and then waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about that right now. I'll have to personally visit the Special Service Bureau anyway, there's a lot to discuss. Besides, if you all really plan on staying here long term, I'll have to open a 'special door' that connects the camp to the outside—after all, it wouldn't make sense for all of you to always come and go through my basement."

"...Oh, it sounds like there really is a lot to do."

Yu Sheng was a bit curious: "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"I ran into Bai Xue and the King on my way here, they were discussing future plans," the long-haired princess said, maintaining the strange posture of hanging her head out of the eaves with her hair and chatting with Yu Sheng, "They said that if they're staying long term, this camp needs to be slowly transformed. Everyone will have to build their own houses, move out of the temporary shelters, and by then it'll look like a small town. Bai Xue said by then it'll be called Tong Town, and she plans to build a Titan Altar next to the town..."

Yu Sheng was stunned as he listened, then quickly realized this was the effect of the previous meeting manifesting gradually—

The kids, now with a long-term perspective, were finally starting to plan their future with hope.

The only problem was that these super middle schoolers, or the reserve super middle schoolers, and the super cats seemed to have not only amazing imagination but also incredible execution abilities—who knows what they'll turn this place into in the future.

...But it sounded super interesting.

Yu Sheng's mouth curved into a smile.

"Bro, you're smiling. Why are you smiling?"

"I'm giving pre-approval, I mean for the Titan Altar—as long as they don't build it in my vegetable garden."

"Oh oh!"

Then the long-haired princess left with Little Red Riding Hood.

Yu Sheng watched as the huge golden hairball wrapped around the two of them crawled through the road in the camp's middle and disappeared into the small house they currently lived in—honestly, he remembered that when he first met the long-haired princess, she didn't give off this vibe at all, back then she seemed like a quiet girl...

But thinking about the mental state of "Fire Stick" when he first met her and how she usually behaved, Yu Sheng immediately felt at ease. Contemporary young people, especially those dealing with "fairy tales," should reasonably have this kind of spirit.

With a sigh of emotion, he casually opened a door and stepped into No. 66 Wutong Road.

The first thing he did upon entering was to scan his surroundings, and he perked up his ears to listen to the sounds around him.

All looked well, nothing was on fire, and no huge holes had been blown open. From the second floor came Erin's swearing as she played video games, the living room TV blaring a mindless variety show, her laughter clear and unrestrained.

Yu Sheng let out a sigh of relief and walked further inside.

Hu Li's excited voice came from the direction of the dining room: "Savior! You're back!"

Yu Sheng looked up and saw Hu Li happily rushing towards him—fortunately, she didn't rocket over, just approached normally.

Yu Sheng kept most of his ribs intact.

He caught Hu Li, letting her fluffy tails wrap around him like hydraulic clamps for quite some time before he managed to free a hand and ruffled the fur behind her ears: "I was delayed in the valley for quite a while, mainly explaining the changes in the 'fairy tale' Exotic Realm to Little Red Riding Hood and the others—were you anxious?"

"Yep, I was getting anxious," Hu Li said with a happy smile, unwrapping her tails and dragging Yu Sheng toward the dining table, "But Erin wasn't. She said you were busy, so she went upstairs to play games and watch TV in the living room—but I made you breakfast!"

Yu Sheng's steps halted immediately: "...Breakfast?"

"Yeah, the same thing you had last time. Erin said it could be called Fox Stew," Hu Li said with a big smile as she sat Yu Sheng down in a dining chair, then reached over to lift the lid off the pot on the table, pushing a colorful, bubbling mixture towards him, "It's delicious!"

Yu Sheng's face changed as soon as he saw the contents: it looked even more horrifying than last time: "Wait! The stuff in this pot is moving! It's even more colorful than last time!"

"Yeah, this time Erin didn't mess with it, so it turned out much better than last time," Hu Li said, even more delighted, "I think with a few more tries, I can make a stew that tastes about sixty or seventy percent like Mom's!"

Yu Sheng: "..."
