Mistin was really indignant. She had already mentioned it online and even reminded him just now, but it still turned out the same way.

...So who the hell started this whole "Xiao Mi is a girl" thing?!

Last month, Yuko peeked out from beside the old lady, stuck out her little tongue, and chuckled, "I was just kidding, but Xiao Mi's reaction was really... cute!"

"Don't laugh!"

"No one would be scared by your overly cute but ultimately intimidating aura. Xiaomi is a girl, Xiaomi is a girl, Xiaomi is just a girl, hehehe~~"

(Xiaomi: What should I do if I suddenly start to dislike someone who seems easy to bully?)

Even after seeing the old lady off, last month Yuko took him to the amusement park on her own initiative.

On the way, Xiaomi glanced at Hong Wang with a slightly depressed expression. "Hey, did Yuniko ask me out because of something important?"

"Well……"

The little girl pouted and remained silent for a while before saying, "Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll tell you. Actually, it's okay if you don't want to join the Solar Prominence Legion, but I want you to help me complete the 'Defeat The Disaster' quest..."

"Extermination...The Disaster??"

"Hmm..." Red King changed his tone and turned his head to say, "Oh right, seeing how powerful you are but only level 4, you must be a newbie among the overclockers, right? It's no wonder you don't know."

Seeing Xiaomi's bewildered expression, Renzi explained: "The Disaster—the Armor of Calamity—is a cursed piece of equipment that attaches itself to an overclocker and controls them. Not only that, even if the controlled person dies, the Armor of Calamity will not disappear. It will continue to lure people into the abyss like a demon. Moreover, all the ultimate skills of overclockers controlled by it will be memorized by the Armor of Calamity."

"—The Disaster, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is the most evil existence in the Accelerated World."

Mistin exclaimed, "That looks amazing..."

Yuko shook her head. "It used to be ridiculously strong. Without sending out several 'Kings,' it would have no chance of winning. But a year ago, Wolf Deities (the only trainer to reach Lv10) completely overwhelmed The Disaster..."

"But even Wolf Deities could not completely destroy the Armor of Calamity. So Wolf Deities drastically changed the rules and mechanisms of Accel World, which led to many new changes in Accel World since then... including a hundred times more players and a quest system for obtaining acceleration points."

"The most difficult and rewarding of all missions is 'The Disaster's Extermination. This special mission will light up whenever the Armor of Calamity lures a new Overclocker to become its vessel, and all Overclockers will swarm to hunt it down."

"Wolf Deities used this method to suppress The Disaster, preventing it from causing any significant disturbance in the Accelerated World until the tenth generation."

Mistin asked in bewilderment, "...But the Armor of Calamity, isn't it very powerful? How did the most feared demon of the past fall to the point where people are scrambling to hunt it down..."

Yu Renzi sighed: "The Armor of Calamity has a certain level of intelligence, but it is quite limited, while human wisdom is infinite... Bait, trap, lure, reconnaissance armor, there are always ways to trick it."

"And most importantly, there are a hundred times more players in Accelerated World!"

"I understand, it's like fighting a boss in a game, right?"

"Se-hyuk...?"

"Ah... a friend. By the way, I have a few other good friends who are all very skilled players in Accel World. They might help you with your quests."

The Red King frowned and asked in a sharp tone, "Who is Se-hyuk! Male or female?!"

Mistin let out an "uh": "In a normal conversation, shouldn't you be begging me to ask them for help at this point...?"

Red King turned his head away, snorted, and fell silent.

Although the two walked side by side, the atmosphere between them became silent. After a long while, Yuko secretly glanced over and saw a wronged face.

Xiaomi had no idea where it went wrong!

"Let's not talk about that anymore, come with me to the amusement park first!"

Before Xiaomi could answer, a little girl in a white dress, looking like a pure white elf, walked towards them.

Seeing her suddenly stop, she bowed slightly and asked them, "Excuse me... do you know Tina or Lee Seul-yuk?"

She had long, flowing blonde hair, with a few strands tied up with a headband that fell to the sides of her ears. Her youthful face looked no more than eleven years old, and her precocious breasts were already showing a cute bulge under her white shirt. Because of this girlish charm, this young girl in the white dress had a powerful allure that far surpassed that of Yuiko and even Mimi.

Xiao Mi was very familiar with the two names she mentioned. Her face was full of curiosity, but she still asked cautiously, "Who are you? What do you want with them?"

“Tina Sprantt.” The girl’s smile blossomed like a cluster of golden flowers blooming by the roadside. “I’m… looking for the person I love most.”

A room decorated simply yet with a girlish style is filled with a faint fragrance that can calm the mind and focus the spirit.

Tina has been resting here since yesterday, and hasn't even woken up.

Even she herself did not expect that her body and soul, weakened during her recovery a year later, would be so fragile.

Led by Mistin, Tina arrived at the Red Wolf's (Black Sheep's) suburban villa.

I ran into Uncle J at the entrance; he was sipping his energy drink half-heartedly and looked pretty depressed.

Oh my god—what wind blew this owl lady here?!

Upon seeing Tina, Uncle J's eyes widened, and before he could catch his breath, he bent over and coughed violently, choking out a large mouthful of his drink.

"Ah, Uncle, it's been a long time. You don't seem very welcoming."

"As you can see, she's clearly overjoyed!" Uncle J beamed, magically producing a can of energy drink and tossing it to Tina. "Here! Try Uncle's new concoction, 'Soul-Stealing Delight'!"

Tina flicked her finger, creating a black rift in the void. The drink fell precisely into the rift, and the spatial rift healed immediately.

This move was truly astonishing; it seems Tina has successfully developed Cancer's potential within a year.

"Where is Tina?" the girl in the white dress asked softly.

Uncle J quickly composed himself, but then didn't know how to answer the question. "She...she's resting inside."

"Great!"

Tina exclaimed in surprise and ran inside.

Following the familiar, long-lost atmosphere inside the villa, Nata saw a stranger intruding. Just as she was about to step forward to stop him, Uncle J immediately stopped her.

"You should learn from Se-hyuk; look how calm he is."

“Even if the sky falls, it won’t stop him from playing PSP.” Nata rolled his eyes at Uncle J: “...And he’s not even willing to lend his life for a game, tsk.”

Nata had barely finished speaking.

The whole world turned into a dark, apocalyptic place, and an astonishing killing intent filled the surrounding area for miles!

This was no metaphor, but a real hundred-mile stretch; within that hundred-mile radius, everyone felt a heavy, oppressive pressure in their chests, almost suffocating. The sealers were somewhat better off, but were still incredibly horrified.

Countless afterimages rushed out of a room.

The speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of reality. Half a second later, the afterimages finally coalesced into a single figure... In reality, Tina had already been standing in front of them half a second earlier.

"Who... hurt Tina?!" the girl in the white dress asked with a terrifying murderous intent.

Uncle J gave a bitter smile: "Those who harmed Tina have all been executed."

Tina's expression froze, and her murderous aura instantly dissipated by more than half. She asked, "Really?"

"Well, really."

The girl's expression shifted, from intense anger to wifely anxiety and worry. She hurriedly ran back into the house with her small, flustered steps.

—She clearly teleported out just now.

When the murderous aura dissipated, the whole world once again became radiant, bright, and full of hope.

"Tsk, the Smiling Coffin is really lucky..." Uncle J chuckled with emotion, "It avoided the time when the owls came back, otherwise, let alone body parts... there wouldn't even be a trace left."

"Ah! That was tough! I've finally made it through this hurdle. I'll treat myself to extra seasoning with my instant noodles tonight!!"

A boy in black finally put down his PSP and stretched out a big yawn.

Lee Se-hyuk seemed to live in his own little world, completely unaware that he had just been in danger of being destroyed.

Nata glanced sideways and said, "Look..."

Uncle J: "emmmmm..."

[Closers' new team, Team Eagle, new character Volgaff... I'm not really interested in the new team and character, so I won't be joining.]

------

[Lian ultimately gave herself to Violet, and later characters won't have very deep feelings for Tina either. This is because Tina is considered more endearing when she's devoted to one person.]

At this point in the story, it leans a bit towards an "ensemble drama of Closers centered around Tina." Of course, even though it's an ensemble drama, I've already come up with a plot that I think is pretty good, so don't worry~. In the story, Tina will be one of the redeemers, but not the final acceptor (CP).

I'd like to ask for your opinion on a question, and I'm asking this very seriously.

As for Tina, having not seen her for a year, upon seeing her again, just gazing at her lying on the bed, his eyes welled up with tears, and he felt an urge to throw himself into her arms and cry his heart out.

Finally, my wish came true. The face that had appeared in my dreams countless times was being touched by my own gaze and by my trembling fingertips.

Her soft cheeks felt like touching the finest jade porcelain. Even though the life-and-death experiences Tina had gone through had left indelible scars on her heart, they did not leave a trace of hardship on her flawless cheeks.

"Tina, it's been a year... Owl... she, she really misses you so much..."

She didn't even want to blink, her gaze so focused that she almost wanted to freeze forever on the face before her that had haunted her dreams for the past year.

"Do you... want to be an owl too?"

A calm surface, like autumn water, concealed a turbulent undercurrent of emotion. As she gazed at the girl, the owl's delicate eyelashes curved upwards. She leaned down, gently nuzzling her cheek against the girl's face, and whispered in her ear:

"I'm already neglecting Hailong since he hasn't come back. Xia Shi misses you just as much as I do... But Xia Shi can't come over, so I can only convey her feelings to you like this... Hey, stop pretending to be asleep, give me a response, okay, Tina-chan?"

"Oh, right, there's one more thing, the most, most, most important thing!"

How could an owl forget that promise?
