Absolutely legitimate Star Iron, I've awakened the Underworld System?

　"Eh……"

　Bai Qiong sighed helplessly, "Miss Topa, please don't do it yourself. Let me handle it. I'm afraid that if you do it, you might accidentally tear Mr. Schwarz apart."

　Topa rolled her eyes, her tone tinged with displeasure, "I'm not that violent!"

　Bai Qiong looked at her with lingering fear, "Under normal circumstances, of course, there's no problem, but Mr. Schwarz is also incredibly strong. If you were to pull out that stone and shout, 'Everything is dedicated to the Amber King,' then things might not go as planned..."

　"No, where did you hear all this from? The gift of 'Preservation' is so precious, how could I possibly use it lightly unless absolutely necessary..."

　Topa pouted, utterly exasperated by Bai Qiong's repeated misunderstandings of him.

　"In short, it's good that you don't do it yourself..."

　Bai Qiong breathed a sigh of relief.

　"Okay, that saves me some trouble. Please, Mr. Shirakami~"

　After saying that, Topa smiled slightly and stepped aside.

　Bai Qiong then turned to San Yueqi and said, "Little San Yue, come help. I can't beat him by myself."

　"No, I'm wearing this dress...? You want me to fight? Really?"

　March 7th's tone carried a hint of helplessness, but he still pulled out a bow and arrow from behind his back.

　The battle is imminent!

　Bai Qiong's figure blurred as he flashed to Schwarz's side like a ghost. His baseball bat, carrying a strong wind, slammed into the robot's joints, producing a deafening impact.

　Schwarzkopf's steel body remained motionless, and he delivered a powerful mechanical punch with a backhand.

　Bai Qiong had anticipated this; he was all too familiar with Schwarz's attack patterns. He deftly dodged with a backflip and swept his bat towards Schwarz's leg.

　On March 7th, he drew his bow and arrow in the distance. The icy blue arrow, carrying a chilling aura, aimed precisely at the connection point of Schwarz's mechanical arm, attempting to restrict his movement. Although the arrow failed to pierce the steel, it successfully disrupted Schwarz's movements, slowing his swinging fist by a beat.

　Schwarz's mechanical arm swung with great force, his iron fist and small rocket launcher attacking alternately, leaving the ground riddled with craters.

　Bai Qiong moved with agility, weaving through the gaps in the attacks like an eel, each swing of his bat carrying the power to destroy a life.

　March 7th's arrows were like a persistent thorn in Schwarz's side, constantly harassing Schwarz's movements. The two worked together seamlessly, putting Schwarz on the defensive for a time.

　"Mr. Schwarzlo is really tough! He's always so hard to beat..."

　While dodging, Bai Qiong shouted to March 7, "Little March, use that move quickly!"

　March 7th drew his bow and replied, "Don't rush, I'm looking for an opportunity! I remember this guy's weakness... is in his core!"

　The bow and arrow in her hand glowed once more, this time the arrow was more solid and carried a powerful energy fluctuation.

　"When the arrows rain down on the ice!"

　Several arrows shot through the air, striking Swallow's chest precisely. Frost spread rapidly, freezing his mechanical body for a moment.

　Seizing the opportunity, Bai Qiong swung his bat with thunderous force, smashing it hard into Schwarz's head.

　"Winning streak, goodbye hits!"

　Schwarzkopf was hit on the head with a baseball bat, making a screeching metallic sound. His body swayed, but he did not fall down.

　His mechanical eyes flashed red, as if performing some kind of calculation. Then, he let out a low roar, and the frost on his body shattered instantly.

　"It wasn't that easy after all!"

　Bai Qiong licked his lips, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

　He swung his bat again, launching a fierce attack on Schwarz. March 7th, meanwhile, continuously fired arrows, coordinating with White Dome's attacks; the two worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending.

　After a fierce battle, Swallow's movements gradually became sluggish, and cracks appeared in his armor.

　Just as a new arrow was about to fall on March 7th...

　Clara ran out of the mansion, her eyes filled with tears.

　She had been secretly watching the fight through the crack in the door, and when she saw Schwarzman injured, she could no longer hold back...

　"Stop fighting!"

　Clara's voice made March Seventh pause slightly in drawing his bow, but the arrow still accidentally wounded Clara as she rushed forward. Her thigh was scraped, and blood slowly seeped out.

　“No…you mustn’t bully Mr. Schwarz!” Clara said, trembling.

　"Clara!"

　Schwarz's voice carried a hint of anxiety, "Get out of here quickly!"

　However, after Clara was shot in the thigh by an arrow, she could no longer stand up and collapsed to the ground.

　When he saw that his arrows had accidentally injured someone, March 7th panicked.

　She quickly put away her bow and arrows, hurried to Clara's side, and said apologetically, stammering, "I'm...I'm sorry, Clara, I didn't mean to..."

　"No...it's okay, you...you guys, could you please stop fighting with Mr. Schwarz? You're all very important people to me..."

　Clara, with her last ounce of consciousness, mumbled, "Mr. Schwarz, please... please don't blame Brother Bai Qiong and the others, okay?"

　After saying that, Clara fainted from the pain.

　"Stop! I surrender and will no longer resist!"

　Seeing Clara's condition, Schwarz's mechanical eyes flashed red, and his voice was low and cold: "After risk assessment, I... agree to the company's request, but Clara's injuries must be examined first! Immediately!"

　Upon hearing this, Toppa's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

Will there be any food safety issues with Chapter Fifteen?

　“Hmm, Mr. Schwarz, it seems you really care about that little girl. But you’ve made the right choice. Just take me to the arsenal. That way, it’ll save everyone trouble. My time is precious too; I need to go now.”

　Toppa gently stroked the source code chip in his hand, his tone tinged with pride.

　She turned to look at Bai Qiong and March 7, her tone softening slightly: "Since Mr. Schwarz is willing to cooperate, then the rest is up to you. Miss Clara's injuries look quite serious, so please take good care of her."

　Bai Qiong nodded. After all, it was indeed their mistake that Clara was injured, and they should take responsibility.

　"Okay, I promise you, I'll go with Toppa to find the arsenal first."

　After pondering for a few seconds, Swallow looked at White Sky and March 7, his voice carrying a hint of warning, "Gentlemen, for Clara's sake, I will trust you again for now. Before I return, I hope to see Clara's wounds treated."

　"I will, don't worry, Mr. Schwarz. I can't bear to see anything really happen to Clara," Bai Qiong solemnly promised.

　After Schwarzkopf left with Toppa, Bai Qiong and March 7 carried Clara into the room and carefully laid her flat on the bed.

　Clara had a deep wound on her thigh, and blood was flowing uncontrollably, staining the sheets red.

　Despite the cold weather, the skin around the wound had an abnormal bluish-purple hue, indicating that the injury was much more serious than initially thought.

　"Did you damage a blood vessel? We need to stop the bleeding as soon as possible, otherwise the wound will get infected..."

　Bai Qiong asked with a frown, his tone tinged with worry.

　March 7th also squatted down to carefully examine Clara's wound. She shook her head and said with some helplessness, "Neither of us are doctors, and Miss Natasha's clinic is quite far from here..."

　"What should we do? It's a long way to get the medicine from Rivet Town!"

　Bai Qiong's voice was clearly anxious.

　Just then, a cold, mechanical voice rang in Bai Qiong's mind.

　"Ding!"

　[Host difficulties detected; new solution generated.]

　Please wait, the system is scanning!

　[Scan successful! 】

　[A new target has been added: Clara]

　Corruption Value: 0%

　[New Quest: Lick Clara's feet to reduce Clara's corruption level to 10%]

　[Mission Reward: Special Treatment]

　[Special Treatment: Heals Clara's injuries without leaving scars, making it easier for the host to play with her later...]

　Bai Qiong frowned and cursed inwardly. This damned Inner World System always likes to cause trouble at times like these!

　Wait a minute, could this inexplicable battle have been deliberately orchestrated by it?

　The purpose was to issue this task, to make me do this kind of perverted thing...

　Although Clara has the body type of a young girl, not a loli, she is indeed quite young...

　He looked at Clara, then at March 7th, his mind in turmoil.

　No, now is not the time to worry about shame!

　Saving lives is the priority!

　However, it's best not to let March 7 see the details of this bizarre mission; I need to find a way to get her away...

　Thinking of this, Bai Qiong said to March 7, "Little March, go and get some water to wipe Clara's face. She looks a little weak."

　Bai Qiong tried to make her tone sound more natural.

　Without much thought, March 7th nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be right back."

　After saying that, she got up to go find water.

　Bai Qiong watched March 7's departing figure, feeling a pang of guilt, but he knew that now was not the time to hesitate.

　He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Clara's bare little feet.

　Clara's ankles were slender and fair, her toes round and cute, pink as if they had just been taken out of her shoes, and they were slightly curled up, making her look somewhat helpless.

　Why does Clara run around barefoot in the freezing cold every day without developing calluses or getting dirty?

　Won't there be any food safety issues if I keep licking like that...?

　Of course, now doesn't seem to be the time to ponder this question; one could never arrive at the answer to such a question even after a lifetime of thought. Bai Qiong is still quite naive at this point, and he would still hesitate for a moment when faced with such a choice. He is still some time away from letting go of his sense of morality.

　Even so, Bai Qiong's hesitation did not last long before he made up his mind.

　He slowly lowered his head and gently licked Clara's toes.
