A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

I'm going to cook hot pot for lunch today, so I'll need to spend some time preparing the ingredients.

Also, I'll be uploading fewer pictures lately; too many of them are broken, and I've gotten warnings, 5555. I'll just use SoulPic for a while longer.

Section 630, Chapter 623: The Illusion Bug

Dorian's hypnosis is the type that works by taking advantage of the situation; it's extremely effective. As long as the opponent's mind relaxes even slightly during battle, they will fall for it. Even masters with decades of experience can be caught off guard. However, Dorian lacks control over the state of those he has been affected by. He doesn't know what kind of illusions the opponent will see or what actions they will take. He only has a general expectation that the opponent will imagine fighting him.

However, based on Dorian's many years of experience, almost everyone sees similar illusions—"overwhelming victory," "glorious victory," "being praised by everyone," and "the pleasure of wantonly venting the abuse of the enemy." It cannot be said that this is ugly, but this is the common nature of humanity.

Perhaps... there exists a type of person who, having experienced countless battles, has a deep-seated understanding of the perils of war, knowing that victory can never rely on luck. Even when trapped in illusion, the illusions they see are still fierce and powerful, not much different from the actual enemy they face. In other words, even if Dorian's hypnosis succeeds, he is helpless against such an enemy, because his actual attack is no different from the actions the opponent predicts in their illusion.

Deep down, Dorian did not necessarily look forward to such an opponent; perhaps when he met that person, it would be the day he finally tasted defeat.

Emmm, but Kanon isn't that kind of person.

In fact, Dorian didn't realize that when he activated the piano wires to strangle Kanon, Kanon had already stopped and entered a state of deep thought with her eyes closed. That was because Kanon launched a super-fast attack on Dorian in her hallucination, but failed to defeat him several times in a row. So, in the end, Kanon used her strongest attack method, "Fuura," which involved using both hands.

Then the bug appeared.

Kanon has never used her full power in "Fubuki," or rather, she has never struck a vital point with her full-power "Fubuki." Even when Yujiro Hanma attacked with his "God of Slaughter" a second time, Kanon, despite going all out, only managed to deflect the attack by striking Yujiro's arm. So, how terrifying is a full-power "Fubuki," and what would happen if it hit a human body? Would it result in a bloody massacre like that giant python?

How could Hanako know that?

Just like when we have nightmares, no matter how many monsters and demons are in the dream, once death is involved, we will only wake up because the living brain does not know the feeling of death, and it cannot simulate it even in a dream. Now, Kanon encountered such a situation. In her hallucination, Dorian was knocked down by "Fubuki," but Kanon did not observe the effect of "what she did not know but should have appeared." "Dorian" did not vomit blood, did not explode, and did not even fall down. Instead, it simply disappeared.

The illusion only lasted a few seconds before Kanon knew something was wrong. Although she didn't fully understand the situation, she chose to focus her mind and guard herself—after all, with Kanon's defensive capabilities, she could withstand one or two hits from the "God of Slaughter" and would have no problem countering Dorian!

She tensed all her muscles, entering a state of peak reflexes, ready to respond to any changes in her surroundings. The moment Dorian's wire began to cut, it stimulated Hanon's neck muscles, which, like steel plates, firmly blocked the wire's further movement.

This result has nothing to do with personality, experience, or wisdom; it's simply because Kanon is too strong, so strong that no one has ever seen the limit of "Blowaway".

Dorian's attempt to steal a chicken backfired; not only did he fail to kill Hanon, he also woke her up. When Hanon opened her eyes again, she was out of the hypnotic state: "I see you~"

"Ugh!" Dorian was terrified. His jaw was broken and he couldn't speak, so he groaned out his feelings through his nose. He even spurted out a huge amount of blood and snot from his nose because of the force. It was disgusting! The overwhelming fear made him break down. Blood spurted from his nose and he urinated. He then sat down on the ground with a "plop" and crawled backward.

"It can't be that bad..." Hana scratched her head. She had just opened her eyes from the illusion and she had scared him like this. Could it be that she was still in the illusion?

No, these are all real events. Dorian did indeed embarrass himself, a fact that even Kato Kiyosumi, standing nearby, was stunned by. What outrageous thing did Hanane do while he was unconscious to make this fierce death row inmate so terrified?

Kanon certainly didn't do anything excessive; Dorian was just pretending.

For him, disguise was also part of "real combat." Wagging his tail and begging, crying and wailing were all part of deceiving his opponent, all to create an opportunity for himself. In the current situation, it wasn't an opportunity to fight back, but an opportunity to escape.

Ye Huayin is too powerful, and there's a little brat from the dojo eyeing her covetously. Plus, I'm seriously injured. I should retreat first and then wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack! Dorian twisted and retreated on the ground, finally touching a puddle of liquid—the glass bottle he had just broken, the one that had contained strong liquor!

"Whoosh—" A wall of fire suddenly burst into flames in front of him. Dorian set it on fire and fled at top speed, knocking over many bottles and jars along the way. The bottles contained either strong liquor, gasoline, or lubricating oil, all of which were highly flammable liquids.

The incident happened so suddenly that Kanon and Kato were trapped outside the wall of fire. By the time they realized what had happened, they were surrounded by flames.

"Damn it! Don't run!" Kato Kiyosumi, young and impetuous, was eager to take on Dorian and even tried to cross the flames to chase after him, but was pulled back by Kanon who grabbed his collar: "Kato-nii, don't rush, let's get out of here first."

"Damn it, I'm so unwilling to let him go like this!"

“It’s too dangerous to just chase after them like this…” Hanon was too embarrassed to say it. Even though Dorian was already badly injured, he was still someone Kato couldn’t handle: “Besides, this is a sewer! There’s methane everywhere, be careful of an explosion.”

As if in sync with Kanon, as soon as her voice faded, a small explosion was heard from the sewer. Seeing this, Kato stopped insisting and obediently retreated with Kanon. The moment they reached the ground, a huge explosion occurred in the sewer behind them, sending the manhole cover flying into the air and nearly hitting someone.

"Damn it, he got away!" Kato was both scared and disheartened, and also a little resentful towards Hanon: "Miss Ye, I hope you didn't knock me out."

Hanon laughed: "What, Kato-nii, were you originally planning to fight me two-on-one?"

“Hmm…” Kato fell silent. He was annoyed that Kanon had knocked him unconscious so easily, but what else could Kanon do? Go fight Dorian himself? Even someone as strong as Kanon had escaped; he probably wouldn't stand a chance. Two against one with Kanon? Forget about it! So, compete with Kanon for the right to fight Dorian? It seemed like Kanon knocking him unconscious was enough to qualify…

Finally, having exhausted all other options and finding nothing more to say, Kato Kiyosumi could only remove his hat and go barefoot, banging his head on the ground.

"Damn it!"

Unexpectedly, Kanon patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Kato-nii, don't worry, Dorian won't run away~"

Author's Note: The Dorian arc isn't finished yet~ I'll continue later.

Regarding the dream bug, let me say something rather bold here—aside from death, even if you're a fire mage, when you meet your goddess at night, do you still not make it to the end?

Section 631, Chapter 624: The Disposal of Rich Kids on Death Row

Kato Kiyosumi returned to the Shibukawa family home with Kanon and met with Shibukawa Takeki, Kouyou, and Adam. However, he didn't come to discuss friendships. Instead, he followed Kanon because she said Dorian couldn't escape, so he wanted to see how she would find him.

Everyone rested at the Shibukawa residence that night, and Hanon did not go out.

The next day, Kato got up early to stretch his joints and practice his moves, all in preparation for setting off to challenge Dorian.

However, he watched helplessly as Hana slept until noon...

After waiting for Kanon to get up, wash up, and have lunch, Kato Kiyosumi eagerly put on her shoes, only to find Kanon lying on her bed and playing on her phone.

Ah, this...

As the sun set, Kato Kiyosumi was filled with regret. Who was he? Where was he? Why had he been so naive as to think that Hanane really wanted to go and cause trouble for Dorian?

It wasn't until dusk began to blanket the world that Hanon lazily got out of bed, picked up her shoes, and went out the door.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Kato Kiyosumi exclaimed, feeling a surge of joy! This little miss was finally going to set off!

Then he followed Hanon to a restaurant... uh, for dinner.

Wow, this restaurant is pretty upscale, located in a bustling area of ​​Tokyo. The ambiance is elegant, and the service is attentive. Judging from the photos on the menu, the food looks pretty good too…

"Bang!" Kato Kiyosumi slammed the menu on the table and yelled, "Hey! I didn't come here to eat with you!"

"Kato-nii, don't get excited." Kanon was still looking through the menu, which obscured her face, but Kato could tell from her voice that Kanon must be looking relaxed behind the menu: "This meal is on me."

Kato was even more frustrated: "That's not what I meant! What happened to finding Dorian?"

"Sigh, do we even need to look for that person?" Hanon put down the menu, a smile on her face. To Kato's utter bewilderment, she raised her hand... and called over a waiter: "Hello, we'd like to order... Kato-kun, have you decided what you want to eat?"

"I'm not hungry!" Kato said defiantly.

Hanon didn't argue. After ordering her own food, she asked Kato for some extra things. Then, she picked up a cup of sweet tea and moistened her lips. Her leisurely and self-satisfied demeanor was the standard posture of a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family. Her beautiful face was very pleasing to the eye. No matter how much anger Kato had, it all faded away, leaving only confusion: "Who would have thought that she would be one of the most powerful and terrifying martial artists in the world? Ah, what am I thinking... How exactly is she going to find Dorian?"

Seeing that Kato had calmed down, Kanon stopped being mysterious, picked up her phone, fiddled with it a few times, and then handed it to Kato.

Kato noticed that Kanon's phone had a map app, which was much simpler than a typical map app, but it had three different colored dots flashing on it.

Before Kato could ask, Kanon spoke up: "The green light spots are Liu Longguang."

"Huh?"

"The blue dot is Dorian."

Kato was increasingly shocked. He stared at the map for a while: "This red dot... it's right here! It's us?"

"To be precise, it's the location of this phone." Just then, the waiter started serving the dishes. While thanking them, Hanon explained to Kato, "I asked a friend at an electronics company to do this program. As for the satellite signal, I used my family connections to contact a military satellite and ask them to spare a little effort to help track it."

A war between warriors and death row inmates, that could start anytime, anywhere? Tokugawa Mitsunari is senile; what nonsense is he spouting!

From the beginning, Hanon didn't quite agree with the rules for targeting the five death row inmates. It was fine for the two sides to meet and start fighting immediately in the middle of the city, and it was fine for them to use any props, moves and strategies. The key issue was that the five death row inmates had no bottom line!

Just like how the Dorian would directly attack the Tokugawa residence and the Shinshinkai headquarters, what if someone sneaks into the Takakaze family and causes trouble? Or what if it's detrimental to Miho? Even though Kanon's relatives and friends are not ordinary people, it's not the theft itself that's worrisome, it's the thief who has his eye on you. Isn't Adam a perfect example?

We can prepare for a thousand days, but it only takes a moment for the enemy to break through. So we cannot passively wait for the enemy to come to us, or blindly and inefficiently search for information like headless flies. Instead, we must take the initiative, grasp the opponent's movements, and then talk about "super-real combat". Only in this way can we ensure that our relatives and friends are not dragged into it!

Hanon's idea had been vaguely present since Adam was poisoned by Ryu Ryuko, but at the time she was too angry and went straight to vent her anger on the death row inmates. That night, Hanon was first awakened by news from Spek and Hanayama, and the next day she learned of the fierce battle between other death row inmates and martial artists. All these sudden pieces of information solidified her idea. By the time she found Baki, Shibukawa Goki and Ryu Ryuko yesterday afternoon, Hanon had already used satellites to locate them.

“Tokyo is so big, I can’t directly find those death row inmates. I can only have military satellites locate me first, and lock onto them one by one.” Hanon patiently cut the steak in front of her: “Look, since I’ve already defeated Spek, he doesn’t count. In the past two days, I’ve ‘captured’ Dorian and Liu Longguang. I haven’t seen Sikorsky and Dor. As long as they walk in front of me, they’ll be a piece of cake sooner or later.”

"Wow, there's even such a thing!" Kato Kiyosumi was dumbfounded. Is this the power of a rich girl? He then realized that in addition to "beauty" and "strength," Ye Hanane also possessed the element of "wealth," and these were just fixed labels. In reality, most people didn't know much about this girl.

Now that the app was right in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it. Kato looked at the map and exclaimed, "Ah, Dorian is moving this way!"

“Of course, he’s human too. He gets hurt when he gets hit, and he gets hungry when he doesn’t eat. I saw him moving around in this area all afternoon. This is the best restaurant around.” Hanon started eating by herself. “Kato-nii, don’t be shy. You can only make your move if you’re full.”

"That's right!" Kato exclaimed enthusiastically. "Let's send Dorian on his way after he's eaten and drunk his fill!"

Dorian entered the restaurant, and he even put on a wig and sat down to order in a very gentlemanly manner.

A moment later, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Dorian looked at the dishes and frowned: "I didn't order this dessert."

"It was a gift from the lady over there."

"Miss?" Dorian's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw that it was indeed Ye Huayin.

That terrifying girl...

Dorian's hand trembled, and he gripped the knife too tightly, slicing the plate into pieces.

Hana smiled at him from afar and raised her glass in greeting... Unfortunately, Hana was underage, so the restaurant didn't sell her alcohol; her glass only contained juice.

"How did she know I was coming here?" Dorian's mind raced, unsure whether to fight or flee. But since the other party dared to confront him head-on, he probably couldn't get far!

So, should they fight? Recalling the battle in the sewers last night, a shadow fell over Dorian's heart. It would be difficult, far too difficult.

Unexpectedly, the waiter soon brought another dish, along with a note: "This was sent to you by the gentleman who was at the same table as that lady."

The note read: "Eat slowly, and then continue your journey."

Kato Kiyosumi has finally found her footing!

"Ha, arrogant brats." Since the other side was ready, Dorian stopped running away and simply sat down in the restaurant to have a big meal and enjoy the delicious food.

The two sides, who were about to fight, were enjoying a meal together at the same restaurant, and this peculiar meal lasted for nearly an hour.

After a hearty meal and even a short rest, Dorian stood up, glanced at Hanon and Kato, and said clearly, "Come on."

"Who's afraid of who!" Kato Kiyosumi stood up; he had waited an extra day for this battle!

Hanon wiped her mouth and said, "Don't be so impatient, Kato-nii~ If you want to fight, I have a good place."

Author's Note: Looks like Dorian isn't going to fall today. There'll be another chapter in a bit, I'll hurry up and write.

Section 632, Chapter 625: Amusement Park? No, it's Murderous Music!

The big city at night is very beautiful. The surging traffic and the lights of the skyscrapers are a magnificent sight that only modern civilization can provide. Sitting in a car and driving through the streets at night, the vibration of the engine is like the pulse of the city's blood vessels.
