I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

That's why this situation is strange; chicks might slack off, but they would never slack off for that long.

Hikigaya Komachi glanced at his face and saw that, under the sunlight, Li Xuan looked doubtful, seemingly oblivious to the book in front of him, his furrowed brows even carrying a hint of detachment. It was clear that he was confused and hesitant because he was familiar with this.

"..."

Because of her deep bond with her older brother, her understanding of him, and her affection for him, Komachi knew he was her older brother the moment she met him at school.

Kochu has an older brother that even makes her jealous.

"whee......."

Hikigaya Komachi suddenly burst into laughter, her cheeks turning as red as slightly ripe apples.

"If you're worried, go find her and bring her back. I'll be waiting for you here."

Komachi Hikigaya smiled and said with a supportive expression.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan stood up.

"That's true. I don't know where that girl has run off to. I'll go find her. Komachi, please wait a moment."

Li Xuan left his seat, leaving Komachi alone.

It's likely that she inadvertently took on the role of the "younger sister," which created a conflict with Kohina's position, causing her to lose her previously pampered status and leaving her feeling somewhat uneasy.

But she has no intention of replacing him.

It's estimated that it can't replace it either.

It's understandable to feel close to them because of the sense of familiarity they evoke.

However, for each family member, family is irreplaceable.

It was like a chance encounter, like discovering a familiar and captivating treasure.

I have no intention of asking for anything, nor do I intend to change any circumstances.

Like a girl guarding a flowerbed.

Perhaps there's also a little selfishness involved, a quiet hope that the future will gradually become better.

After Li Xuan left, Komachi, under Hachiman's gaze, appeared very serious and continued to study diligently.

~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~

Li Xuan searched many places on the second floor, including the comic book section, the novel section, and other areas, but he couldn't find Xiao Chu anywhere, and he couldn't get through to her on the phone either.

Seeing her is a bit annoying, but not seeing her is even more annoying.

Just as Li Xuan was about to go downstairs to search, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

A commotion broke out in the library. Sensing the commotion, Li Xuan looked up and, along with the others on the stairs, gazed out the window. An explosion had occurred at the edge of a residential complex, and a faint blue light emanated from the fiery cloud…

This luster was all too clear to Li Xuan.

Little Hina unleashed her superpowers, and on a large scale at that.

The entire Chiba trembled slightly under this power...

So what exactly happened?

Li Xuan opened his eyes wide and thought to himself.

After confirming that his premonition was correct, Li Xuan didn't hesitate. He strode forward, passing through a group of onlookers, and rushed towards the location of the explosion.

Superpowers have gone out of control and gone berserk?

Or did we encounter some danger?

The girl shrouded in mystery, Hina, who has kept her superpowers hidden for so long, definitely didn't intentionally unleash them. The current situation can only mean that Hina encountered an unexpected event.

As they approached the scene, another tremor struck, this time quite violently, causing the ground to crack. Trucks traveling on the highway immediately seemed to lose control. Li Xuan narrowly avoided a collision with the truck, scrambled to his feet amidst the chaos and fear of the street, and continued to approach the scene.

Finally, Li Xuan approached a warehouse area.

The inside looked like it had been bombed by a missile; everything was on fire.

Li Xuan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, stood in the smoke-filled warehouse area, and asked anxiously, "Xiao Chu, are you here!?"

However, a figure emitting a blue light descended from the sky and flew towards him.

At that moment, Li Xuan truly believed that the figure was the rampaging Chu.

Just as the figure was about to approach Li Xuan, the shipping containers on the ground rose into the air, suddenly blocking Li Xuan and the person!

"This is your host?"

The figure trying to approach Li Xuan appeared to be a girl, who asked in an arrogant yet spirited tone.

"You secretly left the orphanage, stole the Time Egg, and came to this time and place just to find this person? [Zero]?"

The girl, with a smile, pressed the person codenamed "Zero" for answers.

Standing at the entrance of the alleyway filled with disgust, Li Xuan didn't understand what was going on. However, in the sea of ​​fire of the burning shipping containers above his head, [Zero] finally appeared.

It was a short-haired girl enveloped in blue light, her arms wrapped around her knees, like a phoenix rising from the ashes...

Chapter 115 Superpowered Siblings in the Underworld

In the sky, two girls radiating the same light faced each other.

"..."

Li Xuan stared in astonishment at this phenomenon that science could not explain.

Is there more than one girl with superpowers?

The raging flames seemed unable to scorch the girls in the sky, but Li Xuan felt as if he were in a purgatory. However, he could also see that although the warehouse was burning fiercely, it was fortunate that it did not affect the passageways and buildings, and it seemed that the damage to people was minimized.

"What a horrific sight. Did these two girls do this? Just who are they...? It's best if no one gets involved..."

Li Xuan shielded his face with his arms, his entire body burning from the intense heat of the flames, he thought to himself.

However, the ground was still trembling slightly.

In the sea of ​​fire, the airborne fragments of rock floated right in front of Li Xuan's eyes. It was as if he had entered outer space, where everything was stripped of gravity and he was swept up by the "goddess's" wrath.

This fluctuation of power, and the sense of familiarity...

“!!” Li Xuan looked at the little chick above his head again.

After a series of superpowers were unleashed, it seemed that the weather was also affected by these superpowers. The sky grew darker and darker, and the clouds and moisture gathered in the Chiba area once again under the influence of Hina's psychic power, creating a sense that a storm was brewing.

As the sky grew increasingly dark and the sea of ​​fire raged, the girl floating in the air lost all color in her face. She appeared as if a goddess had descended from the heavens, as if the attack Li Xuan had just suffered had triggered her emotions, making her current state of mind extremely cold. This coldness made Li Xuan feel as if he had suddenly fallen from a sea of ​​fire at forty or fifty degrees Celsius into an ice cave. This transformation filled Li Xuan with horror.

Leave me.

Leave us.

Otherwise, kill them.

Nitta Hinata stood in mid-air and warned the girl.

The sound echoed, deeply moving, seemingly not emanating from the throat, but rather invading the soul.

"..."

Listening to these words, Li Xuan felt that Xiao Chu wasn't just threatening him, but that her words were genuinely filled with murderous intent.

What happened to the usually gentle and calm Hina all of a sudden...?

"Little Hina, calm down, don't use that power recklessly..."

Li Xuan shouted a reminder from below, trying to calm Nitta Hina down.

He had personally experienced Nitta Hina's superpowers; if she were to lose control, the entire city could be doomed.

However, the girl opposite had a different opinion.

"Don't use your power recklessly... Bro, what do you mean by that? That's how we used our power in that world. That's how we were used on the battlefield. It's only natural for us as weapons. Aren't you her keeper? What misunderstanding do you have about Zero, the entity who gave birth to the [Children]?"

Floating opposite was a girl with golden hair, wearing a special forces uniform that she had stolen from somewhere. She was probably only thirteen or fourteen years old and had a rather cute appearance, except that her eyebrows were a bit thick. However, when Li Xuan looked at her for the first time, he found that she actually looked somewhat like Xiao Chu.

What's going on here...? Why does this girl look a bit like Hina Nitta?

Hearing the girl's words and considering her physical features, Li Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

[Cloned entity.]

Xiao Chu revealed the truth to Li Xuan.

She is one of my clones, a child from an orphanage.

The little chick said, "[This is a human created from my cells, possessing some of my personality and abilities.]"

Li Xuan was completely confused for a moment.

He... was actually just a gang leader. Suddenly stuffing the story of the Clone Empire into his head made him understand that superpowers existed, and he was so shocked by this answer that he was speechless.

What is an orphanage...?

Li Xuan asked.

"【Welfare Home】is the name of our institution; it's a home for children who have acquired superpowers."

After answering her question, the girl floating in the air smiled at Li Xuan and said, "Nice to meet you. The adult that Hina is looking for, my name is Kyoko. I'm here to retrieve Hina and have received orders... to kill the adult who raised Hina. That's you. Please take care of me."

This girl, who appeared polite but spoke like a killer, had one of her missions ordered to kill him.

【Shut up!!】

You disappeared!!

Immersed in darkness, the little chick reached out her hand. Suddenly, it was as if all the air had been sucked away. Li Xuan almost felt his breathing become labored. The compressed air grabbed at the opposing apricot like a hand.

A clone girl, who had inherited superpowers through genetics, chased and fought with Kohina for a full half hour. She believed that since she had been sent to capture the original, her superpowers should be slightly superior to Kohina's. However, the moment this power touched her body, her psychic abilities were burst like a bubble!

Kyoko was completely powerless to fight back. Her body was tightly gripped by this force, which was dozens of times stronger than during the previous battle!

"You bastard, weren't you serious before?"

Kyoko realized something was wrong and asked in surprise.

It was only at that moment that she realized how vast the gap was between her and the other person!

Then why... why did the organization send her here to be killed?
