Time flies, and a day passed in the blink of an eye. Then another day passed in the blink of an eye. On the third day after Kanon defeated Yujiro Hanma, the time for Kanon to leave was drawing near.
This is not just idle talk. With the powerful spirit Hanon watching over her, she can authoritatively guarantee that the spiritual beacon on Hanon's body is growing stronger and stronger, and will reach its peak today. At that time, Hanon's soul will be pulled back to her own timeline, and everything will be restored.
The spirit Kanon was very talkative. For the past three days, she had been lingering around Kanon, talking as if she had too many secrets and worries buried deep in her heart. This was not hard to understand. Consider the "Angel Women's Charity Association" she founded, which had gathered young ladies from all over Japan and secretly amassed a great influence. Even if it was out of good intentions, it must have required extremely strong skills and deep scheming. Kanon's real life must not have been easy. Her unexpected encounter with Kanon was probably a way for Kanon to relax, which is why she so readily lent her body and helped with everything with great enthusiasm.
Now the spirit Kanon is talking around Kanon again.
"Hey, my busy lady, you've been going to the museum every day for the past three days. It must be so boring. Let's find a place to challenge them this afternoon~" After watching the two battles between Hanon and the Hanma father and son, the spirit Hanon became obsessed with fighting. These past few days, she has been pestering Hanon, mainly to get her to go out and fight.
"Sorry, I love studying." Hanon rolled her eyes and rejected her. Although they were familiar with each other, Hanon was inevitably a little annoyed by having a "ghost" talking to her for several days.
"Ugh, how boring." The spirit Kanon wouldn't give up, but after only a short while of being quiet, she perked up again: "Hey, hey, you've left the museum, can we go and challenge them now?"
"I want to eat something." Hanon walked to the dessert shop by the roadside and bought an ice cream.
"Oh dear, it's been a week since I've recovered, and I'm really craving the taste of food... After we finish eating, shall we go challenge the dojo?"
"...I want to go to the shrine."
Why?
"I want to purify you, you evil spirit!" Hanon shouted irritably.
Just then, she walked into a square surrounded by pedestrians. The shout attracted their attention, and they all turned to look at her. Embarrassed, Huayin stuck out her tongue and ran away as fast as she could.
Meanwhile, on the televisions in the shop windows on the side of the square, the latest programs were being broadcast: commercials, tokusatsu dramas, interviews, and news. But without a doubt, they were all about Kanon, or rather, the girl who suddenly appeared three days ago, wearing a mask, defeated Yujiro Hanma, and then mysteriously disappeared.
That battle shook the entire world—even those who didn't understand martial arts witnessed the immense power with which the two fought, effortlessly destroying everything around them and turning asphalt into sand. Everyone was deeply shocked by the scene. The story of the mysterious girl of unknown identity defeating the "world's strongest creature" was a huge gimmick, and after gaining a large enough audience, it spread all over the world overnight, becoming a household name.
Because Kanon couldn't be found, her image as a mysterious masked girl became a universally accepted trademark, appearing everywhere from the internet to television, movies, and everyday commodities. On live-streaming platforms, slender women wearing "Iron Man" masks performed erotic dances; in shopping malls and supermarkets, six or seven out of ten new arrivals featured elements of the masked girl; even in the latest anime released on television, a muscular, masked, and somewhat effeminate character, striking a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure pose, shouted at the protagonist, "I don't want to be human anymore!"
This is also why Hana has been keeping a very low profile for the past three days; she doesn't want to fuel this trend any further.
She jogged into a park, then into a forest, and finally up a hillside in the forest. There was no one around, but Hana still couldn't find peace.
It was still the spirit form, Kanon. She moved incredibly fast, and Kanon couldn't shake her off. Kanon could only continue listening to her rambling: "The sun's about to set! If we don't go challenge the dojo now, we'll miss our chance..."
"Sigh, once I'm gone, you can go and kick whichever team you want. Why are you in such a hurry for me to go?" Huayin shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Because fighting is fun~" the spirit Kanon laughed. "I don't know martial arts. I can crush them with my superpowers, but it's so boring."
"That's because you're used to using superpowers," Hanon sighed. "I'm also used to fighting. I've passed the stage where I wanted to spar with any martial artist I met, so I don't find it very interesting to beat up novices with martial arts."
“Smashing the weak…” The spirit Hana nodded: “Actually, I know that too. That Uncle Fanma is very strong. Since you defeated even the strongest martial artist, you naturally have no interest in fighting other martial artists in a hurry.”
She suddenly said, "So, my other self from another world, would you like to challenge an even stronger being?"
The spirit Huayin circled around to Huayin and beckoned to her with a finger. A sharp sense of oppression pressed down on her, instantly making Huayin's hair stand on end and sweat appear on her forehead.
"How about we have a fight?"
Fight her?
Meaningless. The true "big boss" is the spirit form of Kanon, a formidable foe surpassing even Yujiro Hanma, and perhaps even exceeding him in strength. Having mastered the Vibration Technique, Kanon has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, her physical combat prowess virtually unmatched. Can she reach even greater heights and defeat this other self who wields superpowers?
"Pfft—" Instead of accepting the challenge, Hanon burst out laughing and raised her hands: "I surrender, I surrender! I've fought against psychics before. Right now, I have no way to defend against psychics, nor can I attack spirits. Unless I find another ghost to possess me, I'm just going to be easily bullied by you!"
“That’s true.” The spirit Hana also smiled; she hadn’t been taking the challenge seriously to begin with.
Then the spirit Hanon took a few steps closer and extended her hand to Hanon: "Then, let's change it to a dance."
This time, Kanon accepted the challenge.
Hanon had already sensed it, and the spirit Hanon naturally understood even better—the moment she left this timeline was drawing near, and the beacon was already pulling at Hanon's soul.
She reached out and clasped hands with her spirit self on another timeline. The two Hana exchanged a glance, smiled knowingly, and began to dance in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Thank you for lending me your body."
"No, I should be thanking you."
The two talked and twirled rapidly, neither willing to back down, each vying for the lead in the dance—it was then that Kanon realized how incredibly assertive she was in this world! Good-tempered as she was, her personality was even more domineering than Kanon's, who used the memories of a man from another world. Every smile and gesture exuded confidence and untamed spirit. Coupled with her beautiful figure and stunning face, it was no wonder that wealthy heiresses fell for her one after another. If Kanon hadn't been so worldly-wise and experienced, she might have been "self-indulgent" herself.
"Thank me? Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for letting me see exciting fighting, thank you for letting me learn about so many interesting things, thank you for talking to me..."
The spirit Kanon relinquished her claim to the lead dance position, resting her head against Kanon's chest in a docile manner: "I don't have many friends, maybe only you..."
"What?! Your charity association..."
“Everyone is very nice and loves me, but during association activities, I care too much about my image in order to maintain my position as president, so I wear a mask with everyone and can’t really open up to them.”
Their dance steps gradually slowed, and the spirit, Hanayone, softly confided her innermost thoughts: "I know this isn't good, but I just can't let go. I think it's because I'm afraid, still unable to escape the effects of that terrible car accident... I want to gather more people around me, I want to become stronger, so I chose to wear a mask to keep everyone around me... Your arrival was unexpected, but I've had a very happy week. I don't have to live with a mask on, and I don't have to scheme against you. You're still so strong, I don't have to worry about losing you... I haven't felt this sense of security in a long time..."
Although her superpowers are incredibly strong, enabling her to do what ordinary people cannot, she is still, at the very least, just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. She has experienced a terrible car accident, the loss of loved ones, and severe injuries. The shadow of tragedy constantly looms over her, placing immense mental pressure on her. Perhaps, even before, aside from the perfect facade she put on in front of others, she also had many sleepless nights spent in the Eagle Wind's house, drenched in sweat and filled with a profound sense of loss…
Hanon didn't say anything, but simply held the girl in her arms tighter, soothing her gently trembling spirit. At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
As the sun set and stars appeared in the night sky, the spirit form of Hana-ne became ethereal and scattered—not drifting into the air, but gradually seeping into her original body.
The two danced slower and slower until it came to a complete stop. The soul of the transmigrated Kanon had departed, while the spirit Kanon returned to her original body and regained control of it.
She knew that her counterpart from the other timeline had returned to her own world.
Two lines of clear tears streamed down her snow-white cheeks. This world's Hana looked up at the starry sky: "Thank you, my other self. I wish you continued happiness in your own world, and I will also strive to find true joy!"
At the tail end of midsummer, an unexpected and out-of-control time travel seems to have left behind a beautiful ending... seemingly.
Shortly after Kanon left this world, on the Tokyo Skytree late at night, at the spot where Kanon and the spirit Kanon had their first heart-to-heart talk and watched the sunrise together, the space rippled, and then a long, beautiful leg stepped out of the void.
From the small amount of skin exposed on her beautiful legs, one can tell that the owner of those legs must be a great beauty, because her skin is fair, smooth, and translucent, almost radiating a halo of light in the night!
Unfortunately, only a tiny portion of this beautiful skin was displayed; the leg to which it belonged was covered in jet-black armor…
A beautiful woman, clad in black armor and wielding a precious sword, enters the capital. (Image)
Author's Note: This chapter is 3,000 words long. I feel very proud to say that I stayed up all night writing this in the hotel during my trip...
This is all the ending plot, right? We'll soon see the story of Black Armor Kanon!
See you all tomorrow!
Section 936, Chapter 927: Little Sister, you're awake!
In the original timeline of the transmigrator Hanon, the world was peaceful and undisturbed, but in the inner world beyond the light, a message spread rapidly through advanced network communication.
Just one sentence: "Ye Huayin has woken up."
Then the world was shaken.
The martial arts world was shaken to its core, a shock akin to a high-level earthquake.
In her own timeline, although Kanon didn't achieve the level of publicly defeating Yujiro Hanma and causing a worldwide sensation, her two battles against Pike and Miyamoto Musashi further elevated her reputation as the double champion of Kengan Association and Tokyo Dome Underground Colosseum. Anyone who is interested can learn how great or even terrifying this young lady from a wealthy family is in reality.
Along the way, Hanon has experienced a lot, met many people, and accumulated many bonds.
"Ye Haihuang, you're awake!" Just from that address, you knew it was Lie Haiwang. He hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed into Huayin's bedroom—while Huayin was unconscious, she had been lying in Yingfeng's villa, with tubes inserted all over her body to deliver nutrition. Lie Haiwang had visited her several times this month and was already quite familiar with the place.
Recalling Kanon lying on the bed, she didn't seem weak at all, as if she were peacefully asleep, her breathing even. The wound Musashi had inflicted on her had healed quickly, as if she would open her eyes at any moment... But she just wouldn't be woken up. Whether it was Mihono and Garuda's tears and caresses, Takakaze Kirito and Butler Itō's sighs and calls, or her friends' shouts or silent observations, Kanon remained motionless, never waking from her dream. A powerful woman with unparalleled martial arts skills and limitless potential had her soul emptied. The more people knew about her past strength, the more they would lament her later silence.
Reflecting on the past and contemplating the present, the Sea King's emotions surged. He couldn't help but wonder what scene lay behind the door. Were they all laughing together? Were they all weeping together? Or was Hanon sitting quietly by herself?
But behind the door... there was no Hana, only a few maids cleaning the room and tidying up the medical equipment that had been there before.
Seeing the stunned Kaiou, the maids covered their mouths and chuckled: "Miss Kanon woke up last night and went to the gym to work out this morning!"
At this very moment, in Mr. Shirogane's gym, Akemi Souyuu's eyes widened as she looked at Kanon from all angles, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief: "Kanon, you're awake!"
"Ugh, why does everyone say the same thing? Can't they come up with something new?" Hanon laughed helplessly.
Just like when she defeated Yujiro Hanma in another timeline, the unsuspecting onlookers sent congratulatory messages to Kanon—it was perfectly natural and incredibly cliché. When Kanon woke up in her own normal timeline, the reactions from her family, friends, and lover were the same, nothing unexpected.
Miho and Garuda visited Kanon every day. When Kanon woke up, they were right by her bedside and immediately pounced on her, showering her with affection. Next came Takakaze Kirito and the old butler Ito, who arrived in less than a minute after hearing the news, followed by another round of family chat between elders and juniors.
Then came the friends. Retsukai arrived quite early, only slightly later than Kuroki, Rito, Adam, and Shibukawa. Guo Haihuang didn't come because "Ye Haihuang" had unexpectedly collapsed, causing unrest in the martial arts province, and the old man had returned to China to take charge of the overall situation.
After Retsu Kaioh, friends from the Kengan Association, Shinshin Association, the Martial Arts Ministry, and various gangs arrived one after another... but none of them saw Kanon.
Basically, everyone greeted her with "Little sister, you're awake!" followed by words of concern and care, and finally, they'd always add, "You need to rest and recover well!"
Everyone truly loves Kanon, but these words are too cliché. At least Kanon's mood isn't one of rest and recuperation, but rather one of rising fighting spirit.
Before her friends arrived, Kanon had already learned the situation from her lover and family the previous night: her time travel this time was exactly the same as the flow of time in reality, from ancient times to a parallel universe at the same time. The several time travels combined took nearly a month. During this time, her physical body was recuperating at the Takakaze family's residence, with Tokugawa Hanko occasionally coming to perform soul-summoning rituals. Even though others were skeptical, Hanko assured them that Kanon would return safely, which greatly comforted everyone who cared about Kanon.
As for Miyamoto Musashi, his battle with Kanon had taken a toll on his health and confidence. However, as the last survivor on the "battlefield," he considered himself the ultimate victor and remained active in this era that did not belong to him. He had recently clashed with the Metropolitan Police Department and added several more souls to his sword—a small number considering his astonishing strength, as the police were simply at their wits' end and unwilling to make any more unnecessary sacrifices.
Thus, Miyamoto Musashi became a unique being, on par with Yujiro Hanma, transcending worldly constraints... Furthermore, it is said that Yujiro Hanma had a very conflicted attitude towards Musashi. On one hand, Musashi actually lost to Kanon in the battle, but on the other hand, he was the one who ultimately walked off the stage standing up. The "strongest creature in the world" hesitated for a rare moment, wavering between the boiling fighting spirit of a warrior and his personal principles of being true to his heart.
"What are you hesitating for! They're all defeated opponents, hmph!" Hanon immediately expressed her dissatisfaction upon hearing this, and told everyone, "That Musashi guy, he clearly lost a move to me, but he just swaggered on and continued on his way. It's infuriating! I'm going to fight him again!"
"...Oh no, Kanon's still half asleep!"
Sigh, when did Kanon defeat Yujiro? How can she challenge Musashi with her body just awakened from bed rest? Besides, after witnessing Kanon's various strange moves, Musashi probably already has a way to deal with her. His "Niten Ichi-ryu" is still Kanon's invincible killing move.
Of course, Kirito, Ito, Miho, and Garuda would not agree to this, but Kanon's attitude was very firm. She even called Tokugawa Mitsunari on the spot—it was Tokugawa who leaked the news of Kanon's awakening.
Tokugawa readily agreed to arrange for Kanon and Musashi to fight again.
Ignoring everyone's objections—if she truly intended to, no one in the world could really stop her—Kane arrived at Mr. Shirogane's gym, preparing to readjust to her body and recover the muscles that had atrophied due to being bedridden.
While lifting weights, he finished telling Akemi about the situation. Akemi's eyes widened even more, and she exclaimed repeatedly, attracting the attention of Hibiki, Ayaka, Satomi-sensei, and Gina: "I heard that Kanon was sick last month and didn't come to the gym. How come she has so much to talk about with Akemi as soon as she comes back?"
After all, they didn't know that Zhu Mei was already a qualified "second young lady of the Souryuin family" and had considerable knowledge of the underworld.
"That Mr. Musashi is really strong! Kanon, you had such a tough time last time, you'd better be prepared this time!" Zhu Mei knew Kanon quite well and knew she couldn't dissuade her, so she could only give her a few more words of advice, hoping that everything would go smoothly for Kanon: "When do you plan to challenge her again?"
Hanon looked stunned: "How long? It's tonight."
Author's note: Wuhu, there will still be two updates today. I'll continue to work hard lately... I spent a lot of time with my girlfriend today, there was nothing I could do about it. My laptop battery is bulging. After three years of use, it has really had a lot of problems. I will never buy a laptop from X again!
See you in a bit.
