Today, Mi-zai, though still dressed in a traditional style, had taken good care of herself. Her usual simple style, similar to a kendo uniform, had been replaced by a modernized blue-and-white porcelain-blue fitted kimono that accentuated her figure. The kimono's fabric was embroidered with exquisite porcelain-like patterns. Dressing up for her beloved, she looked more radiant than usual.
This handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of passersby as they walked down the street. After all, the two were so radiant that they were incomparable to so-called celebrities. Even just walking, they looked like nobles inspecting their own territory, exuding an indescribable air of nobility. As a result, pedestrians who encountered them would unconsciously step aside when they got close to them.
Neither of them encountered any attempts to flirt with them, because their auras were truly extraordinary. Girls who wanted to approach Li Wei, upon seeing the dazzlingly beautiful Mei Zai beside him, instantly felt inferior and lacked the courage to face Li Wei. Men who wanted to flirt with Mei Zai, seeing Li Wei's handsome, ancient hero-like face, and his much taller, more muscular physique than others, especially his well-defined arms and chest muscles larger than some women's breasts, immediately gave up. Approaching Mei Zai might get them beaten up; this being, like a human version of Star Platinum, was someone even they feared they couldn't withstand, let alone a Doom or a punch.
·Requesting flowers·· ······
The roar came from above their heads as the passenger plane flew overhead.
Li Wei said, "Even though this is a bustling downtown area, being able to see planes flying overhead is a very rare experience for me."
Meizai chuckled, "While this experience is quite unique, it's actually a compromise that Japan, as an island nation, has to make due to its small land area. Normally, for the safety of aircraft and people on the ground, airports should be located far from downtown areas. However, there aren't many flat areas suitable for building airports, and coupled with traffic and other influencing factors, the international airport was built here. Nearby residents complain about noise pollution every now and then, as the noise from aircraft takeoffs and landings causes them considerable annoyance."
Li Wei said, "I can understand that. After all, the take-off and landing times of aircraft often conflict with the daily routines of the surrounding residents. For example, if you are sleeping soundly in the middle of the night and suddenly hear a muffled roar overhead, someone with a weak heart would probably be startled awake."
What Li Wei didn't know was that while the devil's strength was immense, the righteous path was equally formidable. Unable to do anything about the authorities, the local residents devised various ways to cope with the noise. In this area, noise-canceling earplugs that could block out sound were selling extremely well.
Li Wei brought Miya here to relax in order to create a chance encounter, a chance meeting between Masaru and Fuuka. With his puppet clone, creating such an encounter would be very easy for Li Wei, and he wouldn't have to worry about giving himself away.
Li Wei looked at Mei Zai and said, "You look very beautiful today. Of course, I don't mean you're not beautiful at all, but you have a completely different feel from your usual self today."
If Meizai was usually gentle and unhurried, never striving or competing, then now she possessed a breathtakingly beautiful aura, like a flower bud suddenly bursting into full bloom. This dramatic contrast was so striking that even Li Wei, accustomed to seeing beautiful women, was deeply moved.
Chapter 4. Just Everyday Life
Meizai took the initiative to hold Li Wei's hand, and her center of gravity leaned slightly towards Li Wei. In the past, she had never known how to face such feelings, nor had she ever had such an experience, so when she held Li Wei's hand, her heart beat slightly faster.
Mizai said, "It's been a long time since I've gone out for a stroll like this."
Li Wei asked, "Why?"
Meizai raised her head slightly, some past scenes flashing through her mind, and said, "I guess I felt it was unnecessary. An individual lives in this world without friends, enemies, or relatives. I'm like a transparent ghost, observing this world from a dark corner unseen by others."
Li Wei slightly moved his hand, breaking free from Mei Zai's grasp. Just as Mei Zai was surprised, Li Wei had already taken her hand back, palms facing each other, fingers intertwined.
Li Wei said, "You're not alone anymore. You have a family now, and I'm here with you. I will never let you be alone again. When I learned about your past, I told myself that your life has already turned from bitterness to sweetness. So, what you need to do now is to enjoy life to the fullest. A long life is not meant to be tormented, but to make yourself happy and joyful."
Li Wei is someone who pursues happiness. Like ordinary people, because life is so finite, many joys are unavailable to them. After all, ordinary people are too fragile; for example, in extreme sports, a slight mistake can cost them their lives. But for creatures like the Wagtail, all sorts of extreme sports that are extremely dangerous and deadly for ordinary people can be treated as everyday games. Moreover, ordinary people don't have enough financial resources to satisfy their hobbies, but with a long lifespan, they can collect wealth at their own pace, without rushing, and then use that wealth to satisfy their interests.
All this beauty is built upon longevity. Ordinary people, being short-lived, even if they mate with their partner, the wagtail, will ultimately face the dilemma of lifespan. The wagtail's shelf life is calculated in thousands of years, while the lifespan of an ordinary person is less than a hundred years.
Mizai is an exceptionally long-lived individual who has lived since the dawn of human civilization. Although time has not withered her spirit, a deep-seated loneliness continues to plague her.
It was only after meeting Li Wei that she was able to break free from the vicious cycle of loneliness and laugh out loud without any psychological burden, something she never dared to imagine before.
Beautiful hands are incredibly soft, with ten fingers as delicate and beautiful as tender scallions. The smooth, silky touch, the palms so smooth that no wrinkles are visible, and the faint warmth they exude soften Li Wei's heart.
To be honest, Li Wei knew he had a slight sister complex; he naturally felt more affection for gentle, older sister types than for other types of girls.
A gentle, older sister type of girl can bring him peace of mind when he's with her. All his distracting thoughts are swept away, and he can enter an incredible state of focus, concentrating on appreciating the beauty of the girl beside him.
Just like Meizai, Li Wei would lie down from time to time, resting the back of his head on her thighs, enjoying the cozy feeling of a lap pillow.
Mei Zai smiled and said, "I am very happy every day now. I have never been so relaxed before. Although we are always bickering and having all sorts of little problems, it also makes my life more human and warm."
There are quite a few guests at Izumo-sou, more than a dozen Sekirei girls, each of whom is a big eater with an appetite far exceeding that of a normal person. Therefore, Miyako can only slack off when it comes to cooking, using the food tablecloth to replace her repetitive work. Moreover, she will also occasionally make dishes by hand and record her personalized dishes into the food tablecloth's database.
Aside from being lazy when it comes to cooking, Mijai still maintains her old habits, helping the girls tidy up their rooms, organize and wash their clothes. Even now, she still keeps the habit of personally drying the clothes.
However, instead of drying clothes in the courtyard, a special area for drying clothes has been set up on the beach. Because of the convenience of the beach space, even in a cold winter environment, she can easily dry her clothes in the tropical environment of the beach.
Miya herself doesn't have many interests. For her, taking care of others around her is her interest. She enjoys the feeling of being relied upon by everyone around her as an older sister. This makes her feel alive and vibrant, no longer the lonely, walking corpse she used to be.
Li Wei laughed and said, "To be honest, I was a little worried that they would disturb you. After all, they are all energetic girls. Especially Uranium Girl, even if you hung her up and beat her, I could understand."
Uranium Girl is the type who will cause trouble if not disciplined for three days. She'll play pranks from time to time. It's good to discipline such a "bad kid" occasionally.
Mei Zai smiled and said, "That child is just a bit more energetic than the others, which is not a bad thing. Besides, she knows that pranks should be done in moderation, so she didn't do anything really excessive. I can feel that everyone actually likes her quite a bit."
Li Wei nodded.
Uranium Girl's slightly mischievous personality can liven up the atmosphere of the whole family. She's like a big source of joy, always bringing happiness to everyone in unexpected ways.
Recently, Uranium Girl has become obsessed with mascot costumes. She often appears wearing all kinds of fluffy mascot costumes, like a mascot of an amusement park, bringing joy to those around her in this way.
To Li Wei's surprise, all the dolls were sewn by the Uranium Girl herself. She only spent a very short time learning, and her skills had already surpassed those of old tailors who had worked for more than ten years. It has to be said that the learning talent of the Wagyu is indeed far superior to that of ordinary people. As long as the Wagyu is willing to learn, they can quickly become experts in a certain industry. Such talent is something that ordinary humans cannot catch up with.
Just as Li Wei and Mei Zai were enjoying their cozy time alone, Feng Hua heard the sound of the overhead bins being opened. The plane had come to a stop, and passengers were disembarking one after another. She was also preparing to leave.
Chapter 44. Encountering a Formidable Enemy Again
Feng Hua stretched, her beautiful figure peeking out in the dim light, exuding an indescribable allure, like a black cat under the night sky, mysterious yet with a touch of eeriness.
The luggage compartment was opened, and several staff members came up via the gangway in small trailers. After getting off, they began to move various kinds of luggage onto the trailers.
Feng Hua activated her ability, slowly entering an optical camouflage invisibility state. Although her optical invisibility was not perfect, and a faint outline could be seen upon close inspection, it was still enough to fool the eyes of several ordinary people in this relatively dim environment, even at close range.
Kazama jumped directly from the luggage compartment exit, landing as lightly as a feather. She was back in Japan. Since she was in better condition than before, she didn't hold back her energy and used it as needed to save herself more effort.
Fuuka is one of the few wagtails with true walking ability. After all, the principle of walking, simply put, is to use the difference in airflow above and below the wings to create lift and lift oneself up. And she can use her ability to manipulate airflow to directly create updrafts and utilize them.
Feng Hua tried to lift herself up, but found that her body was aching slightly. The previous battle had caused her some internal injuries. Without treatment, the short rest only restored her relatively smooth mobility. Once the power in her body was used at a high intensity, she would still feel something was wrong.
"This is really troublesome. I originally wanted to take the air route directly, but now I have to walk on the ground..." Feng Hua frowned slightly. She was used to traveling high in the sky by manipulating air currents, and she was not used to this situation.
Although the Eastern Capital is within MBI's sphere of influence, Feng Hua dares not gamble on her absolute safety. After all, she is too conspicuous. If the Ten Thousand Serpents Organization also has influence in the Eastern Capital, her appearance will easily attract further trouble from the other side. Her current condition is not good, so she must be even more cautious to avoid the tragic situation of "falling in the darkness before dawn." The closer one gets to success in anything, the more cautious one must be.
With a sigh, Fuuka decided to travel by land, like other wagtails, leaping and darting between buildings to get there. Although walking was quite strenuous for her now, she could still use the lift from the air currents to assist her leaps between buildings, conserving her energy. Forcing her way back now would likely cause problems with the hidden injuries from the previous battle, and she didn't want to return to Izumo Manor barely alive.
Feng Hua quickly left the airport, found the nearest road sign, determined her location, and then prepared to continue her journey.
At that moment, an ominous premonition arose in her heart. She looked up and saw several multi-rotor drones flying overhead. Their futuristic gray-black paint job made her heart sink. It was the paint job of the Snake Organization.
Not far from her, a slightly mechanical voice came out.
"I never expected you to walk right into our trap and come all the way to Japan. Did you think you could escape us by fleeing Europe?"
The figure slowly emerged, completely disregarding the fact that they were on the street and how such behavior would shock and impact those around them.
It was a tall figure, over two and a half meters tall, completely encased in heavy metal armor. Its angular, futuristic style, along with the weapon racks on its back, exuded a menacing aura.
The tall, semi-mechanical puppet said, "You are indeed very good at running and hiding. You managed to escape from our base, so you're not bad. Unfortunately, you've met me. I'm different from those half-finished pieces of trash. You can escape from those trash, but escaping from me is impossible."
The puppet clone only exposes the second half of its face, with its head and eyes covered by a helmet, giving it a similar feel to the Kamen Rider from the Showa era, except that its style is more sci-fi and heavy and sharp, making it look like an alien from a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster.
The puppet clone grabbed something from the weapon rack on its back, something that looked like a lightsaber hilt. Holding it in its hand, black liquid metal extended from the top of the hilt, transforming into a long metal whip covered in spikes.
The puppet clone's hand holding the long whip trembled slightly, and the fire hydrant not far away was cut in two, with a large amount of fire spurting out. This scene frightened passersby, and panicked ordinary people began to flee the area in a panic.
Feng Hua remained unmoved; when she was still, her optical camouflage was not easily detected.
The puppet clone swung its long whip, the sharp whip instantly covering a distance of tens of meters, and attacked Feng Hua.
Feng Hua disregarded her disguise and quickly manipulated the airflow to pull herself back, dodging the whip. The wind pressure generated by the whip transformed into a huge wind blade, continuing to attack forward. A large amount of blood mist spread in the distance, and passersby who could not dodge in time were directly churned into a cloud of blood mist.
Cold sweat streamed down Fuuka's face. She realized that her opponent also possessed a similar ability to her, which meant that escaping would be extremely difficult. As a Sekirei who had mastered the art of manipulating air currents, she knew the power of such abilities. If she were in good condition, she would still have the initiative to fight or flee. But now, she was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether she could win or escape.
Feng Hua took a deep breath, and the invisible wings of air behind her propelled her upwards. She couldn't care less about her internal injuries now; finding a way to escape from here was the most important thing.
However, less than ten meters into her ascent, Feng Hua crashed into a layer of air currents. The activated air currents disrupted her air current wings, causing her to plummet. During her fall, Feng Hua urgently used her abilities to create air currents to support herself, preventing her from crashing to the ground. She dared not risk injury now; every additional injury meant her chances of escaping would become increasingly slim.
Chapter 4. Chaos in the City Center
Li Wei and Mei Zai weren't far from the battleground, only about 400 meters away as the crow flies. Seeing the sudden chaos on the street, Mei Zai instantly realized something terrible had happened, and Li Wei also put on a serious expression. Although he knew perfectly well what had happened, he still had to act, because if he acted too convincingly, it would easily arouse suspicion from those around him.
Mizai said, "I sensed a malevolent aura, an aura different from that of humans and wagtails. It was full of malice, cold and ruthless, neither righteous nor evil, but more like a primal beast."
Li Wei said, "Let's go take a look. This feeling is a bit like those tin cans I encountered before. Although they are not strong, their strange abilities are very annoying."
Meizai glanced at Li Wei. In her opinion, Li Wei was very humble. Even though those semi-mechanical monsters were like little kids to him, he didn't act like he was the best. She personally liked this humble attitude.
The two of them went against the current, surrounded by ordinary people running around in a disheveled state, many of whom were injured. There were even many shoes that had been trampled off on the ground. The entire block was in chaos because of the battle between Feng Hua and the puppet clone.
The puppet clone's strength is naturally more than what it is now, but it is impossible for it to show its true strength. First, it is putting on an act, and second, the purpose of this battle is to capture rather than kill. Therefore, the puppet clone gives people the feeling of being restrained. It has great strength, but it is limited by its purpose and cannot use it at full strength.
As for Feng Hua, her current condition is quite bad. She feels that the wound inside her body has ruptured. Although her strong muscle control allows her to avoid internal bleeding, using muscles to reinforce the wound for a long time can easily cause organ necrosis. At that point, even if she escapes, she will have to return to MBI for treatment, as there is no high level of medical care available outside to treat this kind of trauma.
One is a pursuer unable to give his all, the other an escapee in poor condition; the two are locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand. Fuuka wants to run but can't, while the puppet clone is afraid its own energy blast will kill Fuuka, so the situation is at a stalemate.
When Li Wei and Mei Zai arrived at the scene, there were building wreckage everywhere, many vehicles were overturned, and no buildings around were intact. The two sides were like demolition teams, smashing everything in sight.
Miya showed a surprised expression and said, "Kazehana?!"
Li Wei turned his head and said, "Is it someone you know?"
Miya nodded and said, "I used to be the captain of the punishment team in MBI. She was the first individual member of the punishment team. She's a powerful wind-controlling sika deer. I never expected her to return to Japan, and to make herself look so pathetic."
Li Wei said, "That organization, I didn't expect them to still be so persistent, targeting the wagtails. I just don't know what their purpose and pattern are in attacking the wagtails. There are quite a few wagtails roaming around in the Eastern Capital, but I haven't heard of any of them being attacked recently."
Miya said, "Perhaps their target is the molting Sekirei. They're only interested in molting Sekirei; once they molt, their value to them decreases significantly, or rather, they become worthless. That's why we haven't heard of any Sekirei being attacked lately. The Sekirei released recently have all found their reed shoots in a very short time. MBI is being extremely cautious; they'll have the Punishment Squad protect the Sekirei until they find their reed shoots. It won't be easy for that organization to take them down."
The Sekirei of the Punishment Team have better basic conditions than their counterparts, and with special training and enhancements, their strength far surpasses that of ordinary Sekirei. The protection of the Punishment Team allows Sekirei that have just left the MBI to find their Reishi sprouts as safely as possible.
Li Wei was aware of this as well. The Snake Organization made Mihiro feel threatened, and since Mihiro couldn't allow his plans to go wrong, he changed the previous rules and provided more protection for the novice Wagyu than before.
Li Wei sighed inwardly, thinking that Yu Guangren, as the head of a large enterprise, was indeed very outstanding. He was able to quickly adjust his strategy based on the current situation. It is well known that it is difficult for a large ship to turn around, and it is very rare to find a leader with such a fast reaction speed.
It's important to understand that large corporations are often like slow-moving giants; even if the brain issues commands, the hands and feet can't keep up. But Yu Guangren not only accomplished this, but he did it exceptionally well.
Although Li Wei was definitely on the opposite side of Mihiroto from a political standpoint, Mihiroto's talents were undeniable. After learning about this ambitious visionary, Li Wei couldn't help but marvel at how formidable someone could be, possessing ambition, ability, blazing-fast action, and an exceptionally thick skin.
Li Wei himself is an incredibly skilled cheater, and a truly overpowered one at that. It's already quite remarkable that Yu Guangren, with just a minor cheat, can achieve such impressive results.
Li Wei took off his coat and carefully placed it in Mei Zai's hand. Mei Zai had bought him this coat when they went shopping before, so Li Wei would wear it on their date. He didn't want his precious coat to be damaged during the upcoming battle.
Li Wei said, "I'll be right back. Although I don't know that girl, I can't pretend I didn't see something like this happening right before my eyes."
Mei Zai laughed and said, "You just can't stand seeing girls being bullied."
