Xia Shi smiled and said, "Hey, Tina-chan, aren't you coming along?"

Tina, a girl wearing a white maid apron and stirring egg whites, also turned to look at herself, her calm, clear eyes seeming to hold a hint of expectation.

Tina's heart pounded, and she hesitated before asking, "Can...Is it okay?"

……

(I'm not sure if the image will display; it seems like the backend is overloaded.)

[There are 1-2 more chapters today. I feel like I can write the healing part. If not today, it might be tomorrow~]

[Cancer and Area 44 are both products of my imagination. Anyway, since the old thief Zidian isn't writing about them anymore, I'll try my best to make them my perfect idea.]

【Ta91 The owl doesn't want to leave】

"Can... I do it?"

If only this time could last forever.

Unlike Xia Shi, Tina is not an ordinary Initiator.

Although she was a mechanized soldier, she only had a chip implanted in her brain. But it was precisely this chip that transformed her into the 'Black Wind' who terrified countless people, and also caused Tina to be completely bound to Anland's pirate ship.

Either be loyal to your master, or die.

Being with Tina forever is a fleeting, unrealistic dream.

Therefore, in the little owl's heart, Xia Shi is the one who can accompany Tina forever, a person that is both enviable and yet one that one cannot help but hope for.

Therefore, Tina's question was also a question to her heart—could she really stay by Xia Shi's side like she did?

"Why not? Come on, come on!" Xia Shi forcefully pulled Tina's hand and dragged her to the ice cream machine, pointing to the semi-automatic machine and saying, "...You can operate this clumsy thing."

"Oh! So you just wanted to find free labor!" The owl was initially displeased, but then, remembering something, became even angrier. "...And I haven't settled the score with you for betraying me at the restaurant yet!"

“This…this…” Xia Shi’s gaze wandered, thinking that he couldn’t just shift the blame to Tina.

"Give me Tina for one night, and I'll forgive you." Tina took advantage of the situation.

"Okay, I agree." The girl's voice answered instantly, even Tina was taken aback.

Xia Shi looked on in disbelief: "...Tina, how could you agree to something like this?!"

Tina pushed a large glass bowl in front of Tina: "However, you will have to do more work such as 'beating eggs, stirring, pouring sugar and milk'."

"Okay," Tina replied with boundless enthusiasm and confidence. "And you?"

“Help Xia Shifen with his duties.”

She spoke quietly, then stepped forward and took the claw-like tool from Xia Shi's hand. She walked to the induction cooker, dipped a large piece of chocolate into a pot filled with milk, adjusted the temperature, and began to stir carefully.

...Tina, a girl dressed in a maid outfit, is just too adorable to be true.

The owl and the dolphin were both mesmerized.

Xia Shi was still aggrieved, so he quickly ran to Tina's side and whispered, "Even if you want to help me share the burden, you don't have to agree to something like this..."

"It's okay," Tina winked at her.

Unbeknownst to anyone, outside the window behind them, the pitch-black night was pierced by an even deeper black light.

That was Hades's spying.

--------

late at night.

After finishing her hard work in the ice cream business, Tina excitedly ran to Tina's room and pushed open the door.

A minute later, the little owl, who had specially worn the same cute and seductive white sundress from last time, walked out barefoot, stomping the ground in a fit of rage.

"As expected, there's no way these things can be kept. I should have known better. This is a huge loss... This is the first time I've ever craved power so much... Hmm, just enough to barely suppress Tina's level of power would be fine..."

Stepping into Tina's room, what comes into view is a mountain of refrigerators filling the small room.

Who knows which refrigerator Tina is hiding in, but it must be the hardest one to find in the most secluded corner!

On second thought, Tina's attitude was clear; even if he forced her out of the refrigerator, there was nothing he could do with his own strength, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Sigh..." He pushed open the door to his room and walked in dejectedly.

The owl, full of energy at night, thought to itself that it was probably going to be a super boring night.

'DIU——!'

An object was thrown towards her at a slow speed, with a clear trajectory, which Tina easily caught with her backhand.

—It is a miniature syringe a few centimeters long.

His eyes lifted almost instantly, all his previous emotions vanished, and a cold face looked at the petite girl sitting on the bed in front of him.

Her long, smooth, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, flowing freely across the mattress.

She wore a seductive black evening gown, with black stockings covering her fair thighs, creating a forbidden and absolute territory with the pleated skirt below.

The girl's face was delicate and flawless, yet her posture was languid, with a smile playing on her lips. Despite being a young girl, she exuded a charm that could captivate countless beauties.

This dark loli is Rita Sosbeni, the strongest HYBRID under Aynland's command, ranked 21st in IP and nicknamed "Hades".

But that's all. Tina believed that any weapon willing to don this dark gothic attire would be far more captivating than this guy!

"Tina Sprantt, it's been a long time."

With her slender arms braced against the edge of the bed and her feet gently swinging in the air, she smiled and greeted the owl first.

"What you have in your hand is the virus agent given to you by your master. Once injected into the body, it will take effect within ten seconds at the latest, paralyzing and destroying the computer's central processing unit."

“…Destruction?!” Tina frowned. “But in my request to my master, I clearly stated that I wanted to remove the destructive aspect.”

"If, as you say, her computer intelligence surpasses the pinnacle of our world, then she naturally wouldn't be easily destroyed by the virus; at most, she would lose her central control privileges for a short period."

Hades' smile suddenly turned dangerous: "Excuse me for asking, but Tina (Sprante), have you fallen in love?"

Tina simply gripped the virus syringe in her hand, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.

Ayn Rand insisted on having Hades come to assist her... Did she discover something after all?

“You are your master’s tool, as are the other five sisters, including myself. Who doesn’t want to choose their own life? But the price we pay for choosing our lives is death for betraying our master.”

The dark loli left behind a heavy reality.

"Let me help you escape the quagmire of death from the assassination attempt tomorrow night."

When Tina raised her eyes again, Hades had already disappeared from the small bed in front of her.

(Black Wind, I will save you.)

----------

The next day, the sun shone warmly and brightly.

It was already past eight o'clock, and even the Holy Emperor got up early, ate breakfast, and went out to handle daily state affairs.

By the way, after yesterday's fright, when the Holy Emperor woke up this morning, he really had the illusion that he had become much bolder. He felt that he would even dare to talk back to Kikunojo Tendo. Nevertheless, the Holy Emperor would not feel the slightest bit of gratitude towards Tina, who was always trying to assassinate him.

Little Tina unexpectedly fell asleep yesterday, which is quite a scandal for an owl.

When she woke up, for some reason, Tina's eyes were red; she didn't realize that she had been crying in her sleep.

In my dream, Tina's shadow receded further and further away.

As Hades...Rita Sospenni said, as a tool, one has no right to choose one's life.

Because of Hades Rita, the 21st strongest character in the IP... she is the cursed child whose heart was modified by Arnland, as Tina mentioned. Despite possessing unparalleled close combat abilities, she will not live past the age of sixteen and her life and death are controlled by Arnland with a remote control.

But when she opened her eyes—

But he found Tina, the woman he had been longing for, sitting right beside his bed, so clearly and realistically present before him, never having gone far away.

"woke up?"

The girl took a bowl of hot porridge from Xia Shi, who was standing beside her, held it in front of her, blinked, and whispered:

"Do you want me to feed you?"

Tina, who had been busy until late last night and had fallen asleep curled up in the refrigerator early, was unaware of what had happened. However, when she woke up this morning, through the sensor inside the owl's belly, Tina sensed Tina's despondent and hopeless state of mind.

And so, this scene unfolded.

"Waaah..."

Tina pursed her lips, sniffed, and held back her tears. Her eyes filled with sorrow as she gazed at the girl. She asked cautiously, "Can I... hug you...?"

Her voice trembled violently, clearly indicating her fear that the young girl Tina would reject her again, just like before.

I couldn't refuse.

Because Tina wouldn't misunderstand the owl: it wasn't with the intention of physical intimacy, but simply seeking comfort.

So the girl put down her bowl and spoon and nodded: "...Mm."

Tina almost cried tears of joy. She struggled to sit up from the bed, opened her arms and gently hugged the young girl Tina. She smelled the refreshing fragrance in the morning air.

"Hehe, so Tina has such a vulnerable side too?" Xia Shi, standing beside her, smiled slightly. "...Let me guess, is it because after the Holy Emperor's third meeting tonight, regardless of whether the assassination succeeds or not, Tina will have to go back to report, which may be why she is reluctant to part with Tina for a very long time?"

Xia Shi's guess was completely correct.

And Tina is going back to America. In this vast world and among so many people, will there be another chance to meet Tina again?

"...No way," Tina thought to herself.

"Xia Shi and I are going to the outer district in a bit." Tina gently patted the owl loli's narrow, delicate shoulder and asked calmly, "...Are you going? Because no matter what the outcome of tonight's assassination is, you have to go back to America, right? Today...maybe it's the last time we'll spend together."

Tina's small hands gripped the girl's clothes tightly. Her voice was groggy and weak in the morning, and it was tinged with a heartbreaking sob.

"But...the owl...she said, she wants, she wants...to be with you...forever...everytime..."
