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

Oh, and Jack, he spent the night at the police station and wasn't in a good mood.

As for Kanon, she was highly regarded by Yujiro, considered a confidante by the headquarters, and revered as a god by Kaia. She was Pike's nightmare, Jack's object of resentment, and Musashi was also very interested in her... However, when she returned home, the first message she saw had nothing to do with any of these people.

It was a message from my gym buddy, Akemi Kanon: "Hey, Kanon, are you free these days? We won the basketball tournament at the Imperial Sakura Academy last time, right? My sister provided a prize of one million yen, and we've decided to use it for a trip to Russia. Do you want to come along?"

Hey, isn't this a good way to relieve stress?

Author's note: I have some things to do tonight, so there might only be two or three updates today, depending on what time I get back. Please forgive me, I will try my best to write.

Section 827, Chapter 818: Ways to Deal with SAN Values ​​Reaching Zero

There's a famous saying in the world of superheroes: "With great power comes great responsibility." Let's assume that's true. But we can extend it further: With great power comes great responsibility. And with great responsibility comes great pressure.

So, the pressure on Kanon, whom Kaia calls a superhero, is unimaginable. Back then, Kanon actively participated in the Kengan Association's deadly elimination tournament and the fighting tournament held by Tokugawa Mitsunari in the Tokyo Dome's basement. She also reluctantly joined the Martial Arts Province's Grand Tournament. At that time, she was conquering her own territory, without any idol baggage; she only needed to be ambitious and enterprising. Now, however, things are completely different. She is the queen of the Kengan Association, the champion of the Tokyo Dome, the Sea Emperor of the Chinese Martial Arts Province, and a friend to many martial artists! These identities bring honor, challenges, and the responsibility of protection. From the five death row inmates to Pico, to Miyamoto Musashi, and with Yujiro Hanma always watching with predatory eyes, Kanon deeply understands what it means to be unable to find peace. One wave of events after another leaves her physically and mentally exhausted.

When feeling lost, she always felt that life was nothing but fighting... Fortunately, she still had her uncle and old butler from the Takakaze family, her lover Miho, her ambiguous crush Garuda, and her good friends from the Shirogane-sensei gym, which gave Kanon many more choices in life and relieved her pressure.

For example, the trip to Russia that Zhu Mei invited her to take was such a relaxing activity. Look, Kanon was happy even before she actually set foot on Russian soil...

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Kanon rarely heard a girl scream so desperately outside of her bedroom and Mihono's, but now she had never seen anything like it before—the sound came from Uehara Ayaka.

A famous food critic once commented at a food competition: "What amazing lightness skill! The wonder of lightness skill is that it can make someone as heavy as a fat pig fly into the air and scream like a pig being slaughtered." If human lightness skill is so great, then an airplane that can travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening and reach an altitude of tens of thousands of meters above the ground can naturally make a light and agile little girl scream like, uh, like slaughtering ten pigs.

Ahem, in short, Ayaka gets airsick...

"Thinking back carefully, it seems that Ayaka didn't come when we went to America on the Soryuin family's private plane two years ago?" Kanon couldn't remember the situation at the time, but judging from Ayaka's severe reaction to flying, she probably didn't come with us back then.

At this point, Ayaka had completely lost control. It was unusual for her to be dressed like this today—with her hair down, wearing a trench coat, and looking more ladylike than usual—but instead, she was acting like a bipolar disorder sufferer, struggling to escape. Initially, Hibiki and Gina hurriedly carried her onto the plane, and Ayaka managed to restrain herself. However, after takeoff and a short flight, Ayaka's SAN value finally dropped to zero.

"Gentlemen, I can't take it anymore, let me go!" Ayaka struggled to the hatch, put on her backpack, and said, "Hehe, isn't there a ready-made parachute? Great, let's meet down there~"

"See you my foot!" Hibiki grabbed Ayaka and hugged her tightly. "That's just a regular backpack, not a parachute! Besides, you can't open the hatch when flying at high altitudes. If you really jump, it's just the vast ocean. Even with a parachute, you're still doomed!"

But Ayaka had gone mad. Not only was she deaf to reason, but her strength was also astonishing. For a moment, even a shout couldn't stop her: "Ayaka, calm down! Ora ora ora ora!"

"Mudamudamudamuda! Let me down, ahhhh!"

Gina, standing nearby, also felt a headache coming on: "Ugh, this is so difficult!"

Zhu Mei shook her head awkwardly: "Unfortunately, our original cruise ship encountered a malfunction, so we had to change to a plane. As a result, Ayaka's fear of flying was so severe, which exceeded everyone's expectations." Being the most quick-witted among the fitness girls, she immediately came up with a solution: "That's it! Let's use a distraction method! As long as Ayaka doesn't think about the plane, she won't get airsick."

"Distract them, distract them..." Zhu Mei and Gina searched the vicinity, and Zhu Mei pulled out a Russian souvenir: "Cai Ye Xiang, look, look, it's a matryoshka doll!"

Gina, meanwhile, pulled out some Russian specialty food: "Look, look! There's borscht in the airplane meal!"

Ayaka: "...Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"It's completely useless!" Ayaka was still making a fuss, and the fitness girls were at their wits' end, tears welling up in their eyes.

Actually, it wasn't just the four female students from Huangying Academy who came; Kanon and teacher Rimi were also invited. Teacher Rimi, with her gentle nature and needing to maintain a professional demeanor, wasn't as lively as the other high school girls. She just stood there anxiously, unable to help. Noticing that Kanon was also lounging around, showing no intention of helping, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Kanon, say something! Why are you just watching the show?"

"Oh!" Hanon exclaimed as if waking from a dream, "I was stunned by Ayaka."

Actually, Kanon just found watching Ayaka go crazy surprisingly enjoyable and got completely absorbed in the spectacle. When people are overwhelmed by stress, they often develop strange and unusual ways to relieve it. Some people like to pop bubble wrap, some maliciously pop instant noodles into Superman's shape, and some even run into the street to count cars... Compared to that, Kanon's way of relieving stress by watching pretty girls go crazy isn't so shocking.

But now that she'd come to her senses, she decided to leave Ayaka's matter to Kanon: "I'll handle it."

She leisurely walked to Ayaka's side, gently stretched out her jade-like arm, and pulled Ayaka from Xiang's embrace, holding her to her chest—because Hanon was much taller and heavier than Ayaka, she couldn't struggle at all after being hugged by Hanon. At the same time, the two of them were in an extremely ambiguous position, making the faces of the girls watching blush: "Oh my, Hanon and Ayaka are like lovers."

Zhu Mei, Gina, Hibiki, and even the over-30-year-old teacher Rimi are all lifelong singles. Compared to them, Kanon is a much more fulfilled person with a much more complete life experience...

Not content with just hugging Ayaka, Ayaka, unable to move, opened her mouth and screamed. So Kanon reached out and covered her mouth, making the girls next to them blush with embarrassment: "Ahhh, Kanon is so cool?"

Kanon is indeed quite assertive, and this assertiveness is the same as "Attac" (attack). By the time she removed her hand from Ayaka's face, Ayaka had already fallen asleep instantly and was in a coma.

"Huh? Ayaka is asleep?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised: "Kane, how did you do that? Is it hypnosis? That's amazing!"

"Okay, the answer is oxygen." Hanon felt relieved, but a sense of guilt rose in her heart—was she a scumbag for using "Air Path" on her best friend?

However, Ayaka's fear of flying was successfully resolved, and the Souryuin family's private plane landed smoothly at the Moscow airport.

Author's Note: I got home at 11 PM, so only two updates today. Sorry everyone!

Section 828, Chapter 819: Gina and Zhu Mei's Secrets

Arrived in Moscow... wait a minute, Moscow's airport is outside the city, still a long way from the real Moscow. Hearing that they still had to travel, Ayaka, who had just woken up from her oxygen-deprived state, let out a "whoosh" and fainted again: "Flying again? Ah, I'm dying!"

But actually, there's no need for a plane. The journey from the airport to the city center is only a few dozen kilometers, and a seven-seater car is enough. The rest of the journey went smoothly. After waking up, Ayaka breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, I'm alive again... I don't know what this mysterious machine is, but it feels so safe to sit in it."

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat: "Um, Ayaka is still half asleep! She doesn't even recognize cars."

Hanon was even more worried: "Yoga is called the most potent poison by Liu Longguang. I hope I didn't control the dosage too well and damaged Ayaka's brain..."

Fortunately, Ayaka was just drowsy and confused. By the time she came to her senses, the car had just arrived in downtown Moscow.

"Shall we go to Gina's house?" Hibiki hugged Gina. "You usually stay at my house, I'd like to see what Gina's house looks like~"

Gina shook her head: "My home is very cramped, so it won't be convenient for everyone to move around. Besides, I often video chat with my family, so I don't really miss home. There is a place I really want to visit, let's go there first."

"Huh? What place is it that Gina misses so much?"

“Hehe, that’s the dojo where I used to practice Sambo!” Gina explained. “Teacher Shev is a Sambo master who has been famous in Russia for decades. His Sambo club is a long-established name in Russia. Many of my former classmates were foreigners. Hey, hey, Hanon, you’ve met Tokudo, right? He was my classmate.”

"

“Erde…” Huayin nodded: “He is indeed a formidable expert.”

Tokuo Tokudo was one of the first martial arts masters that Kanon had ever seen up close. His battle with Kano Aki back then had deeply impressed Kanon. Moreover, Tokuo was particularly skilled in group techniques. Even though Kanon later defeated Kano and was now much stronger than when she defeated Kano, she would never dare to fight Tokuo in his area of ​​expertise. From this point of view, Tokuo was a more troublesome opponent than Kano Aki, Hanma Baki, or even Kaku Kaiou. At least Kanon dared to launch a head-on attack against those people and win in their areas of expertise.

But Gina didn't think so...

"Hahaha, that guy Dedao is just a weak scholar. You can't believe he's bragging about being a master. He can only fool Hanon, who doesn't know anything about fighting."

Well, because when Gina and Erde were classmates, Erde had just started learning Sambo. Later, when his skills improved by leaps and bounds, Gina left the club. Therefore, Gina's impression of Erde has always remained at the level of a beginner. It's difficult for Hanon to explain Erde's skill level to her, let alone explain her own knowledge of martial arts...

In terms of martial arts, Kanon is qualified to run for president because "no one knows more about martial arts than me"...

"We're here!" As soon as the car reached its destination, Gina jumped out of the car first, waving to everyone: "Look, this is the Sambo Club I used to work at...?"

What appeared before them was a three-story building with a Sambo Club sign hanging on it. It had a unique design and everything matched Gina's description, except that it was an abandoned building.

"Ah, this Sambo Club... is it destroyed?"

A sense of foreboding crept into everyone's hearts. Gina clutched her head, completely bewildered: "Xopowooooo (Russian interjection) – What's going on?!"

Watching Gina display her linguistic genius in front of the abandoned building, Kanon felt heavy-hearted: "I never expected to encounter something like this while traveling all the way to Russia. It's really upsetting... But no matter what happened, since Gina is sad, I must help her solve the problem!"

Emmm, Kanon has the right to say that. She's rich, powerful, and has connections. There's really no problem in this world that can't be solved on a personal level.

Kanon is already itching to get started!

however……

"Gina, is that the club you're talking about?" Ayaka pointed across the street to a building that resembled the abandoned building, but was taller and more ornate, with a newer sign.

"Phew, what a scare! Hahaha~" Gina was happy again: "Turns out they just moved to the new venue!"

"..." Hanon was speechless: "What was I so serious about just now?!"

There's not much to say about the viewing portion afterwards. Everyone happily tried out sambo practice. Because there were female students as opponents, Kanon actually got to practice sambo for a while, and her teamwork experience increased slightly. Congratulations!

As it turned out, Hanon was overthinking it. The trip to the Sambo Club was nothing but a close call. The "scare" was just her own imagination. This was the general tone of the trip to Russia. The fitness girls had a great time for a few days, and apart from the occasional surprise, they didn't encounter any troubles.

A surprise occurred when everyone visited Gina's house; Gina...

"One, two, three, four, five." Hanon counted from left to right, then from right to left again: "Five, four, three, two, one."

She was stunned: "Gina, you...you...you...you're quintuplets?"

"Haha, Hanon, are you crazy? What do you mean by quintuplets? We have five sisters, and I'm the eldest." Gina stood with her sisters, all with fair skin and white hair, and delicate features. They were not only a family of beauties, but also a family of real-life Russian nesting dolls. The five of them greeted everyone together: "Xopowo~"

Whether out of surprise, shock, or momentarily captivated by the beauty of the "nested doll" of women, the fitness girls present unanimously exclaimed, "AWSL!"

Another surprise came on the return trip. This time, traveling by water, everyone bought a lot of Russian specialties, but Zhu Mei was quite unique. She carried a large iron hammer and a large tire on her back, ignoring the stares of others, her eyes filled with little hearts.

"Zhu Mei, this is..."

"Oh, this is a limited edition sled hammer. Ordering it online takes a long time to arrive. Luckily, I came to Russia this time, so I went directly to that famous craftsman's house to buy it!"

"That tire..."

"Oh, these are just ordinary car tires, but when used with a snowplow, they can be used for hammering exercises, which are fantastic for muscle training!"

"Zhu Mei..." The group of friends pondered for a moment, and finally asked a soul-searching question. Ayaka, in particular, was almost in tears: "You insisted on coming to Russia this time, and even took a plane to save time. You didn't just come here to buy a limited edition hammer, did you?"

"That...no..."

You're kidding me!

Author's Note: Just a quick filler chapter (Eh? Did I blurt out the truth?) Ahem, actually it's just to transition the plot. I need to get back and prepare for Kanon to meet Musashi! Of course, there will be a few more chapters to come... This is the third update today, although this first one is a bit late.

Section 829, Chapter 820: The Secret of Two People

With Ayaka, a teammate who's too scared to even fly, and Akemi no longer driven by the urge to go to Russia to buy a hammer, the fitness girl group opted for a sea route home. They first traveled by car from Russia to Vladivostok, and then took a ship from the port of Vladivostok back to Japan. Despite the hassle, the journey wasn't long, taking only a day and a night to reach their destination.

With the time to disembark drawing near, Hana, unable to sleep, came to the deck and leaned against the railing in deep thought. A strong gust of wind blew, whether due to the night or the natural nature of the sea's waves, she didn't know.

"Can't sleep either?" Someone spoke from behind her. Kanon didn't need to turn around to know it was Akemi Souyuuin.

"We're almost at Tokyo Bay. I don't want to be woken up when I'm about to disembark; that would be too chaotic," Hanon replied softly.
