Great, we're doomed now!

That's exactly right!

In Tornado's life plan, only her younger sister was ever meant to be her life partner. Later, Ye Shou joined the group, and after examining him, Shan Si felt that he was barely acceptable. Although she had no intention of stealing a man, she and Fubuki were simply incapable of developing any relationship with other men. In the end, only Ye Shou could be the one to stand between the two of them.

With Ye Shou acting as a lubricant, the sisters' relationship might actually improve!

The most important thing is that three people can make a good living together...

But now this lubricant is saying it wants to run away?

"I'm glad you're willing to fight alongside me, but I'm sorry... neither you nor Fubuki can help with this."

Ye Shou smiled gently, his firm gaze carrying a hint of apology.

"I can only face this myself, but please rest assured... As long as there is even the slightest hope, I will hold on to it and do everything in my power to come back to see you and Fubuki."

"Fine, you have to keep your word... No! Just come back to see Fubuki, that's enough. I... we're just friends who help each other out. Can you even survive... Tsk!"

A tornado the size of a little girl flew up and suddenly grabbed Ye Shou's collar, almost threateningly saying:

"Listen carefully, you must come back to see me alive... This is the 'after-sales service' we agreed on, and only you can take care of my body!"

If you dare to break the contract... no matter which world you escape to, even the underworld, I will drag you out!

By the time Fubuki dismissed the group and returned to the agency, it was already dark.

Lily parked the car at the door and carefully observed the expression on the back seat through the rearview mirror, but Fubuki didn't say much—she wasn't so pathetic as to vent her emotions on her subordinates. She simply told her to get some rest before pushing open the car door and getting out.

Lily breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started the engine to escape the scene.

The lower level of the Kuze Agency is the office area, the middle level is the activity area for the heroes, and the top level is Ye Shou's private area. There is naturally no barrier for Fubuki, so she went straight to the top. Because she was in charge of the operation of the agency while Ye Shou was away, she had been using this place as her office, so she wanted to tidy it up before Ye Shou returned.

To everyone's surprise, the front door was wide open, and warm yellow light shone into the entryway. Faint sounds could be heard coming from inside... Had they already returned? They seemed so entangled with her sister just moments before, yet they had gotten rid of that strongest ability user so quickly?

She bit her lip.

To be honest, Fubuki didn't know why she cared so much. She knew all along that there was a strange tacit understanding between Ye Shou and her sister, and she also knew that Ye Shou was not the kind of person who would cross the line. But when she saw that scene, her heart still felt like it was being tugged by something.

It wasn't anger, nor was it jealousy. You see, she respected her older sister more than anyone else. It was just...uncomfortable.

Welcome back.

"...Shouldn't I be the one to say that?" Fubuki smiled, composed herself, and went inside.

You look a bit travel-worn.

"I encountered a bit of an accident on the way, but I rushed back as soon as I finished dealing with it." Ye Shou stood up and walked over to her, naturally taking off her shawl and hanging it on the wall.

"Thank you for your hard work. The fact that the firm has been able to operate normally during this time is all thanks to you. To be honest, you've been a great help."

"..."

Fubuki pursed her lips, wanting to say a few words of complaint and pour out all the frustration she had accumulated over the past few days, but before she could even utter a word, Ye Shou had already pulled her into his arms.

"As expected, you are very important to me... Even if others oppose me, this will never change."

"be opposed to?"

As soon as Ye Shou hugged her, Chuixue's attitude softened. Call her weak or easily swayed, but she just couldn't resist this man... Upon hearing this nonsensical remark, she immediately became alert.

Ye Shou's words sounded as if someone wanted to break them up, but who would have the motive to do so?

Fubuki's fingers tightened and then slowly loosened: "Could it be... that something happened between me and my sister?"

"You already know?" Ye Shou said casually. "It's okay. You know her, she's easily agitated, but she's quite easy to get along with once she calms down."

"I guess you're the only one who thinks that way," Fubuki frowned.

"It was definitely the right thing to come back immediately," Ye Shou raised an eyebrow.

He often appears slow and passive in relationships, but that doesn't mean he's completely clueless; it just means that sometimes the right choice is to remain unchanged in the face of change.

Once a relationship is established, he can no longer deny it and will take the initiative. That's when his true strategic skills will be revealed. Anyway, including Carmilla, this complex harem hasn't experienced any bloodshed yet... at least on the surface, the girls seem to get along quite well.

When Tornado came to his door this time, he realized that the delicate relationship between the two sisters might be broken, especially with so many passersby involved. It would definitely make the news. So after parting ways with Tornado, he almost teleported back to the agency and cleaned the room spotlessly.

Not only were the lights adjusted to a soothing brightness, but they even lit incense with calming effects!

However, it seems he was being a bit too cautious; Fubuki wasn't that sensitive.

I've heard that people with big breasts are generally more emotionally stable... I can't help but understand Azur Lane players.

I believe they simply need a maternal figure who is emotionally stable, can comfort them, and relieve the pressures of reality. Their desire is pure and untainted.

"Don't worry, I won't have a conflict with her."

"It's not that I'm worried about you guys fighting... On the contrary, it's when you get too close that I feel really uneasy."

After uttering a soft complaint, Fubuki sighed and stopped dwelling on the matter.

All her chaotic thoughts were gently swept away by this embrace. She closed her eyes and listened intently to his steady heartbeat, and she calmed down as well. She just wished time could stand still at this moment, and she felt that she didn't care so much about her sister's matter anymore.

Ye Shou gently patted her back, his gaze falling on the darkening sky outside the window.

But a thought involuntarily welled up in my mind—

Sure enough, I'm a jerk.

He hadn't undergone any training... but he seemed to have this talent innately.

After a while, Fubuki finally woke up in a daze, realizing that she was still clinging to Ye Shou, and quickly took a half step back, her cheeks flushing red.

"I...I'll go prepare dinner for you."

"No rush." ​​Ye Shou took her hand. "There's something I want to tell you."

"what?"

Ye Shou's expression didn't change much, but after spending so much time with him, Fubuki could already read something different in his eyes.

"Soon I will be going to undergo a trial."

Ye Shou said earnestly, "If you pass, I will take you back to my hometown to meet my family."

Fubuki's eyes widened suddenly:

Meeting...meeting the parents?

"That's about it. It might seem a bit abrupt, so I'm letting you know beforehand."

Fubuki's hands clenched unconsciously, her heart pounding like a drum. This strong woman rarely experienced such tension and panic.

"Then, what should I prepare? What kind of girl do your parents like? Should I change into something more formal—"

"Fubuki." Ye Shou smiled and patted her shoulder. "How about you have a little confidence in yourself? They definitely won't have any objections, after all, you're such an outstanding girl."

That's true. As for Kuze's parents, they already felt that Ye Shou lacked support, with only Ruri being an elite in operations. Now that Fubuki has joined, they must be overjoyed.

...After Ye Shou left to take a shower, Chuixue sat alone in the living room. Her mind, which had been in turmoil, gradually calmed down, and she finally understood the subtext of what Ye Shou had said earlier.

If approved

What if... it doesn't pass?

Stab it!

She stood up abruptly, the table leg scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.

She stared in the direction of the bathroom, wanting to catch up and ask for clarification, but her feet were rooted to the spot and she couldn't take a step.

Because if she wasn't sure if she could handle the answer... but she knew that Ye Shou wasn't one to speak without reason.

The fact that he took it so seriously... we can only trust him now and relieve him of any worries.

-

The next day, the office became unusually lively.

For some reason, there haven't been any major monster attacks lately, and the Hero Association hasn't had any urgent missions either, so everyone has some free time.

In the days when Ye Shou was away, the group built around him naturally wouldn't get together often, since everyone had their own lives. Only Saitama, who was a hero by profession (an unemployed person), would often appear in various places and meet with everyone.

But now that Ye Shou is back, everyone has all sorts of reasons to come to the agency~

Therefore, in order to increase team cohesion, Fubuki suggested having a dinner party to celebrate Ye Shou's return from his "business trip," which was met with unanimous approval from everyone.

She thoughtfully opted not to choose a fancy restaurant, but instead booked out a well-established barbecue restaurant for everyone, including the Fubuki group, so they could all enjoy a delicious meal together.

After all, they were all people who bore the name of "heroes". Even though they had been making a ruckus for most of the night, they were still full of energy. After returning to the office, none of the men intended to go home. Instead, they stayed in the middle-level activity area and watched a horror movie together.

...Probably because I'm usually pretty bored.

Genos and King, in particular, both live alone. Although their lives are fulfilling, they sometimes feel lonely.

Saitama, in particular, has been soloing dungeons and grinding monsters for the past few years, which has naturally led to him gradually becoming disconnected from society. If he hadn't met Ye Shou and expanded his social circle, he probably would have become completely detached from worldly affairs after a while.

Now, this bald man in a cape... no, his current title is "One-Hit Man," is sitting in the corner of the sofa, holding a large bag of potato chips, munching away while staring intently at the screen, his eyes narrowed into slits—actually, he quite enjoys watching horror movies.

This is probably one of the few forms of entertainment that can cause him significant emotional fluctuations.

He has killed many strange people in real life, including some even more grotesque ones, but for some reason, the atmosphere of horror movies is more captivating to him.

Perhaps it's because real-life weirdos can be killed with a single punch, while ghosts in movies are untouchable...

Ye Shou sat next to him and suddenly nudged him with his elbow: "Saitama, I've always had an idea."

"Hmm?" Saitama, his mouth full of potato chips, mumbled a response.

"Let's have a match when we have some free time in a few days."

"What?"

Saitama tilted his head: "Haven't we sparred many times?"

"We need to be more serious this time."

"Okay."

One-Punch Man nodded, his tone as casual as if he were agreeing to go eat ramen together, but Ye Shou, who knew his personality well, smiled and knew that he was actually very serious.

This can be considered Ye Shou's minor regret:

I was focused on speed in navigating the game and didn't have the energy to focus on other things, so I missed some exciting and classic scenes.

Although theoretically the world's biggest boss—[God]—has been defeated and permanently sealed away by him, Saitama is undoubtedly the strongest individual in One-Punch Man.

And ever since his previous life, Ye Shou had always been curious about where this guy's limits were... He had also cheered for Boros back then.
