Great, we're doomed now!

"What are you looking at!" Tatsumaki felt uncomfortable being stared at, and glared at Fubuki with embarrassment and annoyance. She wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

She turned her head and glared at Ye Shou, signaling him to come up with a reason for her or quickly change the subject to divert attention. He had been so quick-witted before; now was his turn to shine!

Ye Shou understood what Tornado meant, and true to his gentlemanly nature, he chose to do the same.

He smiled and watched her quietly.

"!"

Men are all the same!

Tornado was furious, while the black-haired mature woman beside her interpreted the interaction between the two as something else entirely.

"you……"

Fubuki blinked, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Tatsumaki's flushed cheeks and Ye Shou's mischievous expression, instantly conjuring up a whole host of images in her mind.

At first, she couldn't believe it, then she was shocked, and finally a smile with an ambiguous meaning appeared on her lips. Her previous worries had long since vanished, replaced by a complex feeling of "I knew it."

The fortune teller (Shibabawa) said that she would have a bumpy road in her love life and that she was prone to being cheated on... Is that what happened?

But it didn't say he was a thief in the family!

"So... that's how it is." Fubuki drawled out her words, as if she wanted to chuckle, but ultimately couldn't manage to laugh.

Her eyes were full of disappointment. "I thought you were going to fight. It seems I was overthinking it."

Ye Shou stood aside, watching Tornado's flustered and speechless state, and couldn't help but explain, "Her clothes were torn during the battle earlier, so I lent her a shirt."

"shirt?"

Tornado looked down and suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Huh? This is... Fubuki, you're not thinking anything, are you? No! It's really not what you think!"

"..." Fubuki didn't say anything, but Tatsumaki's explanation was really weak.

Ye Shou then changed the subject: "Chuixue, think about it carefully—what kind of person is your sister?"

"Huh?" Fubuki was taken aback.

"It sounds more believable that she got into a fight with me and tore my clothes. Or is it more likely that she willingly played the role of a pampered wife and played around with her 'boyfriend's shirt'?"

“…Yes.” Fubuki nodded in realization, then quickly took off her fur coat and draped it over Tatsumaki.

"Fubuki, you little rascal~"

Tornado's telekinetic power erupted subconsciously, causing the hem of her shirt to sway slightly.

"What on earth are you thinking? How do you usually view me?!"

"Sorry, sorry, just pretend I was out of my mind today."

Fubuki's mood inexplicably brightened. Although she didn't want the two to clash, she was even less willing to see Ye Shou and Long Juan being in love.

It's best for these two to maintain a relationship where they know each other but aren't really close, and their interaction is only maintained through Fubuki—but this little secret can't be shared with outsiders.

She looked at Tornado affectionately, then suddenly blinked, pulled her head away a little, then moved closer to observe, a slight look of doubt appearing on her face.

"what happened?"

"No... I just feel that you seem a bit different today, sister... like you're more mature, ah, it's nothing."

Forgot that her older sister didn't like people commenting on her appearance—Fubuki, who almost committed a major taboo, quickly shut her mouth.

"By the way, is the so-called 'battle' against monsters?"

“How could a weirdo have driven me to this point? It’s this man!” Tornado pointed at Ye Shou. “I won’t explain the specifics to you, but in short, I didn’t lose.”

But I have never seen my sister so disheveled—Fubuki narrowed her eyes.

Ye Shou appeared calm and composed, while Long Juan was disheveled. It seemed that the man had the upper hand, or even... won?

The thought of this made Fubuki feel like she was being electrocuted, and even the hairs on her neck stood on end. It made her even happier than if she had defeated a Dragon-level monster.

That invincible older sister, someone I can never surpass, will also have an enemy I can't defeat... Unfortunately, that person isn't me.

Just once would be enough to surpass Tatsumaki in some field, but Fubuki never managed to do so, and gradually she was on the verge of despair, so she simply admitted that she was just a "degraded version" of her sister. But the appearance of Ye Shou was undoubtedly a turning point in her life.

"Thank you."

"Ok?"

"Because she's my sister, you must be feeling restricted in the fight, right?"

"...That's one way to put it."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

At this moment, Fubuki appeared very mature, even showing the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother apologizing for her child.

She bowed deeply in apology, which displeased Tornado, but the other two didn't care about the S-class hero's reaction.

When Fubuki looked up, Ye Shou stared at her face, slightly taken aback:

This was the first time he had ever seen such an expression on Fubuki's face—a smile that looked like she was crying.

"……What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that since others can do it, I'm not without hope either."

Fubuki said something in a cryptic way, Ye Shou could only guess its meaning, while Tatsumaki was completely clueless.

"Hey, what kind of riddles are you guys talking about? I don't understand a word you say!"

"Sister, Ye Shou has always taken good care of me. You were in the wrong to provoke him, so please bear with it for now."

Fubuki turned around and tightened her coat around Tatsumaki's again.

The green-haired psychic glanced at Ye Shou, then stared intently at his younger sister: "Fubuki, tell me... what do you think of this man?"

"...Huh?"

Fubuki paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing across her fair face. She secretly glanced at someone, then pursed her lips and pressed her head against her sister's, making it look as if the two were embracing.

No one knows what she whispered in Tatsumaki's ear, but when the two parted, Fubuki smiled helplessly, a little embarrassed but giving the impression of being very relaxed, as if she had let go of some burden.

And the tornado... was visibly getting angry!

"Listen carefully, I will come back to find you!"

"I know without you saying it, after all, you're relying on me to grow taller," Ye Shou said dismissively.

"If you dare to hurt Fubuki, I'll raze the earth to the ground to kill you!"

"……Um?"

Before Ye Shou could even ask his question, Tornado had already wrapped herself tightly in her fur coat and instantly broke the sound barrier, soaring into the sky.

Only Ye Shou and Fubuki were left staring at each other in bewilderment...

"Your sister is a very decisive person."

"She often acts on her gut feeling. If she has offended you, I apologize on her behalf, but... even so."

Fubuki smoothed her hair, revealing her delicate earlobes and fair neck, while her eyes reflected Ye Shou's image.

"She is still the person I love most."

...At the same time, somewhere in the distant sky, a tornado that had been flying at high speed suddenly stopped and looked back thoughtfully.

The thought that she might one day be surpassed by someone else in her sister's eyes made Tatsumaki inexplicably unhappy.

"Is she the second most important person...? Don't let men fool you, Fubuki."

"The sun is shining brightly!"

A burst of intense light enveloped the earth, instantly bleaching all objects, even their shadows, as if the light possessed the ability to penetrate barriers.

As the GK robot leaped into the air and used its most prized interference skill, Bang, caught off guard, was immediately blinded. Even though he closed his eyes tightly, it was to no avail, and tears streamed down the old man's face.

Wearing sunglasses, KING naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. With a thought, GK, who was in mid-air, suddenly leaped down and delivered a flying kick—

"Flowing water!"

Just as GK was about to hit, Bang sensed, or even captured, the robot's movement without using his eyes. As he turned to the side and swung his right fist, which resembled a snake's head, the steel robot lost its balance and then missed Bang in a mere 0.1 seconds.

A full second later, the Ripple power that had been injected into its body erupted, hitting seven or eight nodes in a row instantly with incredible speed and precision!

boom! boom! boom!

GK's armor cracked and deformed; even the hardest metal became exceptionally fragile under the combined enhancement of "Water Flow Rock Crushing Fist" and "Ripple Ki Blast."

"It was dodged? My movements should be fine... I shouldn't have been able to react in time?"

King took off his sunglasses and looked at Bang with a puzzled expression. He was no longer a novice in martial arts and had a basic understanding of physical techniques.

He believed that with the initiative in hand, GK's flying kick was also incredibly fast. If Bang relied on his reflexes, he would have no chance to dodge it and would have been able to counter it in an instant—after all, KING's micro-management was very fast.

"Hehe, you'll understand when you reach my age and truly grasp the essence of flowing water breaking rocks."

I played a game with Saitama yesterday. He has greater strength and speed than me, but he kept losing to me in the game.

The harder you try to catch a falling feather, the less likely you are to succeed—it's the same principle as you.

Now, besides my older brother, probably only Ye Shou understands... Hmm, speaking of which, where is he? I haven't seen him all day."

"I don't know. He only said that he was going to explain the difference between children and adults to a little girl with an excessive sense of pride, and to help her become more mature. And that person is becoming more and more dependent on him."

KING made a serious judgment: "Without a doubt, this is the innocent love between young boys and girls, because that's how it is in Galgame!"

"...Hmm? This old man might be a little out of touch with your young people's way of thinking..."

I don't understand a word of it!

Chapter 342: The Tragic Protagonist KING! (4K)

"Editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief, [Sweet Mask] has agreed!"

"Really? That's great! Now we'll have something to talk about!"

The editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine "Hero's" was overjoyed and slumped back in his chair like a deflated balloon, completely relaxed.

In this era where the internet dominates everything, magazines and weekly publications are also undergoing digital media transformation. Due to some "traditional" considerations, print media has not completely withdrawn, and naturally, its sales are getting lower and lower. It is just barely holding on with a relatively fixed group of consumers, and it is almost impossible to open up new markets.

But things weren't so bad for Hero's. First, they were backed by a newspaper group, and second, they accurately grasped current trends, focusing on the area that young people were most interested in—heroes!
