Chapter 14: You've piqued my interest

"Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild, towards the stars and the abyss. Mr. Najihiro, have you... completed the quest? Are you injured?"

"Don't worry, Miss Catherine, I'm not seriously injured by this... Wait, Ying?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying went straight to the side, reached out and checked whether Zhiyang was injured.

"It's a little itchy... No, you don't need to see a doctor, really, it's nothing, trust me!"

Just as her hands were about to cross the line, Najiyo grabbed Ying's arm.

If this isn't caught soon, things could get really bad. It's fine at other times, but this is on the street, with people around, not to mention Catherine right in front of us.

Najiyo didn't have a penchant for showing himself off to others.

"Really not injured? That's impossible, with your strength..."

"Ahem! Don't underestimate me, you're the one who's really strong."

"..."

Ying's eyes revealed a deep sense of doubt.

It's unclear whether they're questioning Na Zhiyang's abilities or what happened yesterday.

Na Zhiyang didn't think too much about it; he just brought the bag to the front.

"I've completed all the tasks assigned to me. Please check them."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

...

"The inventory is complete. Thank you for completing today's task. This is your reward. We will be purchasing some of the materials. Are you satisfied with the price?"

As he spoke, he took out a list, which Zhiyang didn't even glance at.

"No need to look, just do it yourself, I trust you."

What ulterior motives could a bionic robot possibly have? Besides, this is Catherine; she wouldn't possibly try to steal her money, would she?

"Thank you for your trust. We'll settle the account now... 12000 Mora, plus 25000 for the five commissions, that's a total of 37000 Mora. Please accept this."

"OK!"

"By the way, I see that your sword has cracks. You can go to Mr. Wagner to have it repaired, or you can buy a new one."

"...I see."

Although this weapon was mostly just for show, I almost never used it in actual combat.

After receiving their payment, Najiyo followed Ying away from the Adventurers' Association and headed directly to her current residence.

Najiyo had always assumed the traveler stayed with the Knights of Favonius, but looking at this ordinary-looking house...

what?

Isn't it the Knights of Favonius?

"What are you standing there for? Come in!"

Ying walked inside, glanced back at Zhiyang who was still standing outside, and spoke with some dissatisfaction.

Na Zhiyang quickly came to his senses and followed him inside.

"Sigh... I don't know what was wrong with me yesterday, I was so..."

Ying walked to the table, sat down and sighed, and Paimon also landed directly on the table.

Seeing this, Na Zhiyang sat opposite her and put the Mora he had just collected into his system space.

"Wait, you don't have the Eye of God, do you? Where did Mora go?"

"Just think of me as a cheat code for being a time traveler."

Snapped!

Quite suddenly, Ying slammed her hands on the table, stood up and walked over to Najiyo.

She quickly reached out her hands and grabbed Zhiyang's face, rubbing it gently.

"Hmm... looking at it this closely, he's actually quite good-looking. So, what about Zhiyang..."

Ying paused for a moment, then leaned down and put her mouth next to Zhiyang's ear.

"You wouldn't happen to be one of those transmigrators from online novels, would you? A system? A chat group? A simulator? A forum? An old man?"

"Wow! You've read online novels?"

"Yes, I've been to many parts of the world before. Sometimes when I'm bored, I've seen quite a lot."

Have you ever played an open-world game?

???

Seeing Ying's puzzled expression, Zhiyang probably understood.

"It's alright now. I think I really am the kind of person you're talking about, um, a transmigrator from an online novel."

Upon hearing this, Ying's eyes narrowed instantly.

"So, does that mean you were the one who made me do that yesterday?"

"I guess so? But you can't blame me entirely! I fought back fiercely... Wait, what are you going to do?"

With a sly smile, Ying grabbed Zhiyang by the collar, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground.

"What are you doing? Heh, I'll show you what you're supposed to do!"

As he spoke, he drew his sword, making a gesture as if to strike, but Najiyo quickly dodged.

However, he soon realized that Ying had no intention of cutting him; she was just trying to scare him.

Seizing an opportunity, Najiyo rushed forward while Ying was briefly stunned after her attack, and subdued her with a bear hug.

Then...

Paimon, standing to the side, covered his eyes with his two little hands, but his fingers were wide open, as if he wasn't covering them at all.

...

Sitting down at the table again, Ying raised her arm and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

"So, your cheat is the chat group, and the daily check-in gave you a succubus constitution and the ability to copy, right?"

"Yes, actually, Klee was the one who was affected at first, but..."

Snapped!

Ying slammed her hands on the table, stood up again, and looked over with an incredulous gaze.

Na Zhiyang understood what she meant.

"Don't get me wrong, Klee just fell asleep while hugging me. Judging from Klee's reaction, I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, otherwise I would have been careful."

"...Hoo! Sigh! Hoo!"

Ying visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then took a deep breath.

"So your strength improved so quickly because of the chat group?"

"Correct."

Let's keep the system a little bit reserved. Just mentioning a chat group should be enough.

Ying touched her chin with her right hand, seemingly lost in thought, before suddenly smiling a moment later.

"Hmph, you'd better take full responsibility."

"That was your initiative, wasn't it?"

Whoosh!

Ying suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbed Zhiyang by the collar again, lifted him up, and threw him to the resting place.

"Wait a minute, Ying, what are you doing?"

"You've piqued my interest. Zhiyang, you don't think that what happened yesterday was enough, do you?"

As she spoke, Ying pointed to the dishes on the table next to her.

"Paimon, there's something prepared for you over there. Go and eat first, we're busy."

"Huh? Huh??? Huh~~???"

...

"Whoa! Finally, I'm about to unleash my full power! Hehe, hahahaha!!!"

As soon as the Rokka Club activity ended, Takanashi dashed out of the school and ran towards the park that was usually deserted.

Unbeknownst to her, a little tail was following behind her...

Chapter 15: Superpowered? Paimon doesn't taste good!

"Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Banishi ment this world!"

Seeing that no one was around, Rikka Takanashi took flight after saying those words.

The tornado was gathering, but it wasn't very strong.

A few seconds later, Rikka Takanashi pushed the tornado forward and landed on the ground, stretching out her palm in front of her.

"O dark ice dwelling in the endless abyss, heed my call and manifest yourself here!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, ice spikes were launched from his hand, flying about ten meters away before entering the tornado.

The tornado, carrying ice spikes, continued forward and finally stopped in front of a tree.

After most of the tree was cut off, the tornado gradually dissipated, and the icicles inside fell to the ground.

"Ha... Phew! Hmm! The effect is pretty good, I'm very satisfied."

(Ha means inhaling. If you don't believe me, open your mouth wide and inhale, then listen to the sound.)
