"Wait, Jugglus Juggler, why are you drawing your sword?!"
Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly, watching Jugglus slowly draw his sword, a bad premonition lingering in his mind.
"What are you doing?! I'm going to chop you up, of course!!!"
With a swift movement, Jugglus appeared behind Fang Rui, his sharp blade slicing through the air, the hissing sound echoing in Fang Rui's ears.
Dark Armament Haki rapidly spread across the bamboo chopsticks, and at the same time, Fang Rui swiftly turned around, raising the chopsticks to block the falling blade...
Ding--
A sound like metal clashing echoed in the room as two black bamboo chopsticks clamped the blade, preventing it from falling further.
"Is this how you treat your benefactor?" Fang Rui raised an eyebrow again, his tone and expression clearly showing his displeasure.
"Ah! I will repay your kindness sincerely." Jugglus's smile was very "healthy," with a faint red glow in his eyes, and his whole demeanor seemed to have returned to the time when he was opposing Gai.
"Can you explain what you were doing earlier? Why were you feeding Yuyan?!"
With a slight increase in pressure, the blade slowly lowered a little.
Seeing this, Fang Rui's eyes widened... Hey! Jugglus Juggler, have you unleashed your full power? My normal power is enough to lift a monster with my bare hands?
You actually managed to suppress me?!
With a little force, the lowered blade slowly rises back to its original position.
"I can assure you, I have no ulterior motives; I simply wish to invite Your Majesty to savor the delicious food."
Upon hearing this, Jugglus's lips curled up, and the red light in his eyes intensified. "My Yuyan is so cute, how could you not like him?!"
"Are you some kind of doting father? Behave yourself!"
With a quick shrug, he snatched the knife, then rolled sideways to dodge Jugglus's punch, before warning, "If you keep bothering me, I'll..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Rui showed a speechless expression.
As Fang Rui left his seat, Jugglus sat down, picked up a pair of clean bamboo chopsticks, and took a piece of roasted meat.
"Ah~"
"Master, I can eat by myself." Yu Yan's face was flushed.
Jugglus held a very high position in Yu Yan's heart. Now that he was feeding him, his heart was beating like a sports car with the accelerator pressed, its speed soaring, and the temperature of his cheeks was rising as well.
"How heartbreaking! Yu Yan is willing to accept food from others, but not from her master..."
Jugglus clutched his chest, pretending to be injured.
Anyone else would have seen through Jugglus's disguise in no time, but Mikoto, with his built-in filter, couldn't see through it. He immediately assumed that Jugglus was genuinely heartbroken, and without the slightest hesitation, he stretched his head forward and bit into the grilled meat.
Watching Mikoto chew on his grilled meat, Jugglus Juggler's lips curled into a slight smile.
'Just as silly as before!'
“Welcome back, Oogura!” Jugglus Juggler said.
“…I’m back, Master!” Upon hearing this, Yu Yan was stunned for a moment, then gave Jugglus a bright smile.
Why do I feel... superfluous?
Fang Rui, sitting to the side, looked left and right and found that the two of them were completely ignoring him, and the atmosphere was very pleasant!
"I'm your benefactor! Please pay me some attention!"
Although he was shouting this in his heart, Fang Rui did not dare to interrupt the two of them. After all, they had been separated for a long time and must have a lot to talk about.
As someone who can read the room, he wouldn't speak rashly.
Therefore, Fang Rui sat quietly to the side and ate his barbecue.
Although the meat was of average quality, it tasted especially delicious because it was free...
Meanwhile, inside the armory.
Haruki and the others received a message from Jugglus Juggler and had already met at the entrance of the armory. They then drove in a jeep toward the barbecue restaurant.
A few minutes later, the group arrived at the barbecue restaurant and asked the waiter for their room number.
"Captain, we're here!"
When they opened the door, the scene that came into view was Jugglus feeding Yuyan, and Fang Rui quietly eating barbecue on the side.
That is…
Haruki and the others' pupils trembled, as if they were witnessing an exceptionally shocking scene.
"Captain, you actually have a girlfriend!!!" Haruki exclaimed.
"!!!" The initial shock instantly turned to rage. Jugglus, with a "kind" expression, looked at Haruki and asked, enunciating each word clearly, "What...does...you...mean...it!"
Yu Yan's face grew even redder, and she lowered her head without saying anything, seemingly shy.
Yoko and Yuka wanted to say something, but upon hearing Haruki's words and Jugglus's increasingly cold and serious expression, the two immediately shut up, understanding the atmosphere.
Deciding to stay away from the eye of the storm, they sat on either side of Fang Rui, not in the mood for gossip, and quietly watched Jugglus Juggler and Haruki.
"I think Haruki is going to get beaten up!" Yuka said with certainty.
"I don't think... I'll get beaten up!" Yoko's gaze fell on Miyuki. After all, with the captain's girlfriend here, the captain would probably tone down his temper a bit... right?
Haruki didn't notice the change in atmosphere, but he could see Jugglus's expression change, from sunny to gloomy, which made his heart pound.
"Uh! It's nothing, just expressing my shock!"
Swallowing hard, Yao Hui spoke cautiously.
"Whoa! Shocking..." Jugglus gritted his teeth. What does this mean? My finding a girlfriend is a shocking thing?!
If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!
"Come sit over here, let's have a proper chat." After all, with Mikoto beside him, Jugglus Juggler had to be mindful of his manners.
Therefore, techniques such as over-the-shoulder throws and tosses are not available for now; we'll have to wait for tomorrow's training!
But it works if you twist it.
As Haruki sat down next to Jugglus Juggler, he immediately felt his waist being pinched, and a piercing pain followed, causing his face to contort in pain.
"Captain!" Haruki gritted his teeth, "Wasn't it necessary to be... this ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, Jugglus released his grip. "I'm giving you a lesson so you'll know that some things shouldn't be said carelessly."
"Let me introduce you, this is my apprentice, Miyano," Jugglus Juggler said.
"Disciple?" The three tilted their heads slightly upon hearing this, finding it an unexpected answer.
'The captain's apprentice? Does that mean the captain is very good at fighting?'
Recalling their usual sparring sessions, Yoko suddenly realized that Jugglus Juggler was indeed a formidable fighter.
In every practice session, she never gained the upper hand against the captain.
Yuka didn't care about their master-disciple relationship. Recalling the previous scene, she felt that their relationship had changed a bit.
Thinking this, Yuka felt a little excited.
"I'm so sorry!" After realizing he had misunderstood their relationship, Haruki immediately apologized sincerely.
"It's alright, it's alright." Yu Yan waved his hand repeatedly, indicating to Yao Hui not to worry so much, it's okay.
So...you didn't see me?
Fang Rui, who was quietly eating barbecue, remained expressionless. He had been sitting there for so long, but no one had greeted him.
'I'll beat you up~'
Perhaps sensing malice, everyone snapped out of their gossip and noticed Fang Rui's presence.
"Mr. Fang Rui, when did you get back? Did Mr. Zefa come with you?"
Older, skilled in combat, and perfectly suited to Yoko's aesthetic, especially during the time she studied with Zephyr, her fighting ability improved rapidly.
No, he's on vacation.
To be honest, since retiring, Zefa and others have rarely been involved in affairs, spending most of their time traveling with friends and vacationing with family...
"Is that so? What a pity." Yoko looked a little disappointed; she had really enjoyed the feeling of her strength improving.
So...you really dislike me?
Fang Rui was speechless again. He really wanted to ask, "What exactly are you guys up to?"
"Mr. Fang Rui, where have you been lately?" Jiehua quickly changed the subject. She could sense the change in the atmosphere earlier, and as a good girl who could read the mood, Jiehua decided to improve the situation.
After all, when you go out for a meal, you should naturally have a good time.
“Recently…” Recalling his previous actions, Fang Rui summarized simply, “I participated in an event and then traveled around.”
"Are you traveling? Have you encountered anything interesting on your trip?" Haruki suddenly interjected.
"Interesting things? Does encountering a few dragons count?" Fang Rui tilted his head and said.
Haruki and Yoko froze, while Jugglus Juggler's lips twitched. This dragon... it definitely wasn't an ordinary dragon.
"A dragon? What dragon? A monster?!" Yuka was particularly excited. "Where did you meet it? Can you tell me? I want to be friends with it!"
'You want to make friends? You clearly want to cut it!'
Yao Hui and the others thought to themselves that they didn't expose Jiehua's hidden thoughts. Another reason was that they were also very curious about what kind of dragon Fang Rui was talking about.
The word "dragon" encompasses a wide range of things; it can refer to the mythical dragon of the East, the evil dragon of the West, or even a dinosaur...
"I can't say where we met." After all, it's not easy to make up stories about other worlds.
"But I can tell you a little bit of other information: the space dinosaur Zetton, a very famous monster."
He didn't mention the Great Red or Orpheus, but instead talked about monsters that fit the Ultra universe.
"Zeton is a very powerful monster. Most of the Zettons circulating in the universe today are either modified or descendants of modified Zettons..."
"Truly pure Jadens are very rare now."
Upon hearing this, Jiehua and the others frowned and asked, "Why is this happening?"
"It's simple. Zetton is very powerful and has a high growth potential, making it suitable as an invasion weapon."
"..." Everyone remained silent, offering no response for the time being.
