Knight Asylum

The piece of shit that Zhan Ji Lingma mentioned is one of the most core research topics of their World Tree Consortium.

"Gui Hu, I know you are trying to comfort me, but science is not that kind. No means no—"

Zhan Ji Lingma raised his hand and waved.

Seeing that Zhan Ji Lingma was so devoted, Wu Dao Guihu felt a little weird, but he was relieved.

At least we don't have to worry about Zhan Ji Lingma causing trouble.

Wu Daoguihu originally planned to leave, but halfway through his walk, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

There is another guy who is more troublesome than Zhan Ji Lingma!

"Are you thinking about me?"

As soon as Wudao Guihu turned his head, he saw Sagara walking out from behind the blackboard.

The embodiment of the consciousness of the Helheim Forest, a being that places its bets on Red, just like Sengoku Ryoma.

"Don't make that expression. Isn't my presence here the best answer?" Sagara smiled meaningfully at Takatora Wudao.

"…Did you have any influence on Red losing his ability to transform into Kuuga?"

"You really underestimate me. I'm just a witness. No matter what, I can't interfere directly." Sagara put his hands behind his back and smiled, "I even warned him~"

"But this is also a good thing for you, right?" Wu Daoguihu narrowed his eyes, "The possibility that Red desires the power of the Golden Fruit is no longer zero."

"...Haha - this is also a possibility," Sagara laughed and then his face turned serious, "Besides, the most troublesome thing has happened. I can't reveal more information to you, but I can assure you of one thing. We are now in the same boat."

"The most troublesome thing?"

Takatora Wudao was stunned, and Sagara's next action made Takatora Wudao realize how troublesome this most troublesome matter was.

Sagara clasped his hands together and rubbed out an illusory golden fruit.

Even though he had never seen the real thing, Takatora Wudao immediately recognized what was in Sagara's hand.

That is the power of the golden fruit.

This matter was so troublesome that the will of the neutral party Helheim Forest decided to overdraw the power of the Golden Fruit in advance to give them use.

"The golden fruit of the earth has not yet appeared. These are already the limit. The rest depends on you——"

Sagara rubbed the illusory fruit into transparent crystals and placed them on the table.

"Red must use it! Remember! Red must use it!"

Chapter 930: Supernatural Ignition! Supernatural Ignition with Extreme Precision!

Red just felt his nose itchy and sneezed loudly.

Looks like someone is talking about him again.

Red flipped through the shopping list that Murakami Kyoji and Takuma Itsuki had prepared for him to pass the time. The excessive number of zeros on the list made Red wonder if Zhinao Group had so much money that it would explode if it didn't spend it.

Of course, Murakami Kyoji and Takuma Itsuki also set some things that he was not allowed to buy.

For example, a certain stock.

But Red felt that Murakami Kyoji and Takuma Itsuki looked down on him somewhat, and no matter what he said, he would never buy that kind of thing.

"Well... Truth, is there anything you want to buy?"

Mari Sonoda, who was standing behind Red and trimming his hair with scissors, didn't even raise her eyes. "Is this some new consumer trap? Please - I'm trying to pay off my debts now, don't add new debts to my debts. Done with the cut - I'll charge you ten dollars this time."

Mari Sonoda clapped her hands and put away the tools.

"It will take you hundreds of years to pay off your debt," Red couldn't help but complain.

"You're so long-winded - I like it," Sonoda Mari rolled her eyes, "At least I'm working -"

Qiao coughed heavily, put down the magazine, and cast a resentful look at Sonoda Mari.

Whose spine are you poking at?!

Mari Sonoda suddenly felt embarrassed. She really didn't mean that. But when she thought about how they had agreed to pay off the debt together, but he just happened to be slacking off all day, she felt a little angry.

"What a coincidence! Isn't it time for you to find something to do?"

"Ahem - I, of course I'm looking for something to do, but... I just haven't thought of anything yet!"

Qiao subconsciously talks tough, and how quickly he becomes tough and how quickly he becomes soft.

"really?"

"real!"

Qiao stood up with a twinkling look in his eyes and raised his hand, as if he wanted to explain his debt repayment plan to Sonoda Mari and Reid, but after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't utter a word.

She didn't have any dreams, so she didn't have any special skills. She just rode her bike wherever she went with her spare clothes, and did odd jobs when she ran out of money.

As for now...

She was raised to be a parasite by Red.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Ah——It just broke!!!"

"Then...how about you be my bodyguard?" Red closed the shopping list in his hand and suggested, "With you here, Murakami and the others won't have to scream all day long."

"...You, really think so?" Qiao's face was a little hot. "By the way, where is Medusa?"

"Medusa and Koyomi went to Sento's lab. Sento seemed to want to try something," Red spread his hands, "How is it?"

"Well - now that you've said that, there's really nothing we can do!"

"Okay, then I'll go talk to Murakami and the others about this."

"..."

At the moment when Murakami Kyoji and Takuma Itsuki both laughed and refused, Qiao's defense was broken.

"What do you mean? One on one! Come out and fight me!"

Qiao kicked Takuma Itsuki and Murakami Kyoji angrily, while Reid held her waist tightly to prevent them from really fighting.

Murakami Kyoji coughed lightly and bent down with a serious look on his face.

"Hey - President, I understand your feelings, but please also understand our feelings. You are everything to Zhinao Group. If anything happens to you, we will probably have to hang ourselves collectively at the door of the company."

"Eh... is it that serious?"

"Of course--" This time it was Takuma Itsuki who spoke.

"So, I will protect Red!" Qiao, who was hugged by Red around the waist, snorted unhappily with her hands across her chest.

"...Hahahaha - cough! Yeah, I'm really touched - it's the thought that matters after all!"

"Hey - go out and fight one-on-one, go out and fight one-on-one!!!"

"I understand. We respect all your decisions, President. Please don't feel too burdened."

I don't know what he realized, but Murakami Gorge suddenly changed his attitude, smiled, leaned forward and made way.

Qiao still had a gloomy face. Her intuition told her that Murakami Gorge suddenly gave way definitely not because of her.

"Okay, okay - don't be angry, Qiao -"

"Yeah, just like the little devil."

Because Qiao had a gloomy face all the time, passers-by would look at him from time to time. Reid, who was wearing a baseball cap, spoke calmly, while Sonoda Mari simply started to complain.

The corner of Qiao's mouth twitched. Although she was angry, she held it back and turned her face away with a muffled voice.

"So, where do you want to go?"

"I wanted to go to the Bath of Happiness," Red scratched his face.

Not only he but also the Igarashi family has undergone tremendous changes. The changes that have taken place in Igarashi Kazuki are undoubtedly a huge blow to the Igarashi family.

He had planned to go to the Igarashi couple that day to explain the situation, but they politely declined his visit. The Happy Bathhouse also put up a sign saying it was temporarily closed, and Igarashi Sakura also took a leave of absence from Amanokawa High School.

As the developer of the Revice system, George Karisaki, the genius scientist, cannot be contacted for the time being.

The only thing to be thankful for is that no demons in black robes have appeared in the past few days, and there are not even any demons.

"They may need some time," Qiao said after a moment's hesitation.

She did not participate in that battle, but she also knew a lot of things. The Igarashi family was hiding a huge secret. As the second child, Igarashi Daiji knew most of the things, while Igarashi Sakura, the youngest, seemed to know nothing.

Confession will tear a family apart. Whether it will be broken up or reconciled depends on themselves.

All outsiders can do is cheer them on.

Just as Sonoda Mari was about to say something, the bank across the street was engulfed in the explosion. An obviously over-modified armored vehicle rushed out from the thick smoke. Thugs poking their heads out of the skylight cheered and swung their backpacks. O-coin vouchers flew around in the air in the impact of the explosion. The citizens of [S·L] who had habitually dispersed immediately forgot about running away and stretched out their hands towards the falling vouchers, like moths to a flame.

The crowded crowd swayed like waves. Red subconsciously protected Takumi and Sonoda Mari behind him and stared in the direction of the armored vehicle.

A spark flashed, and explosions occurred in various parts of the armored vehicle. The thug who was laughing arrogantly was blown out on the spot and fell to the ground wrapped in black smoke.

Reid was startled.

That is supernatural ignition, and it is a supernatural ignition ability with extremely high control precision.

But he was not the one who activated this ability.

Guided by the sense of being watched, Red stood up and looked over, where a slender girl with a gentle smile was waving at him.

"Xiao Xing?"

Chapter 931: Miss Xiao Xing? Miss Xiao Xing!!!

Under Xiaoxing's leadership, Red and others came to a street away from the downtown area and close to the harbor. Going down the slope, Red saw his destination.

It is a reddish-brown building made of movable bricks. Perhaps due to its age or the erosion of the sea breeze, the drain pipes and electric poles are a bit rusty, but it surprisingly has a breath of life.

The clean and beautiful little flowers in the window swayed gently in the sea breeze.

"Eh... a flower shop and a cafe? That's really your style, Xiaoxing," Sonoda Mari leaned forward with shining eyes, pulling her backpack.

It is not particularly luxurious, nor is it high-end. If you look closely, you can see many little embarrassments in life. But perhaps it is precisely because of this that this place looks so real and gives people a feeling of yearning.

"If you're willing, Zhenli, I can help cut your hair here. Would you like to take a look?" Xiao Xing smiled and held her hair that was blown by the sea breeze.

"Really? Eh—"

Seeing that Sonoda Mari had her attention drawn away so easily, Qiao felt helpless. He glanced at Reid and then caught up with Sonoda Mari.

"Really..." Reid put one hand on his waist and let out a breath in a mature manner, but under Xiaoxing's gaze, this maturity could not be maintained after all.

After hesitating for a moment, Red scratched his face awkwardly, "It seems that you have also mastered the ultimate power."

"Yes, now I understand why they are so miserable," Xiao Xing reached out and gently adjusted Red's collar. "It is because we have gained power that we realize how small and powerless we are."

After tidying up Reid's clothes neatly, Xiao Xing smiled with satisfaction.

"Gadolu, at that time, was smiling with satisfaction, wasn't he?"

"...I don't want to fight him that way."

"It's not important anymore. Ah - Actually, there is one thing... I want to ask you for a favor."

Under the guidance of Xiaoxing, Red passed through the coffee shop and came to the private residential area. Sonoda Mari wanted to follow out of curiosity, but was stopped by Qiao.

As soon as he opened the door, a strange smell hit him in the face. It was a strong smell of alcohol, so strong that Red suspected it could be ignited directly, but it was not pungent at all, and the scent of roses neutralized the smell.

“…That’s impossible.”

"Well, that's not the case."

Xiao Xing sighed helplessly, raised her hand and fumbled around before finding the switch. With a crisp sound, the light from the fluorescent lamp dispelled the darkness and illuminated the empty wine bottles, as well as the Sleeping Beauty who used these empty wine bottles as her bed.

That’s right, this person is the referee of the killing game, Baluba from the La Group.

"How long has she been in this state?" Red bent down and picked up an empty bottle on the ground. The 98% concentration mark on it made Red's eyebrows twitch.

"It's been like this since that day - bottle after bottle, drink when you wake up, then fall asleep, repeat over and over again."

Xiao Xing avoided the bottle and slapped it on Baluba's face under Reid's subtle gaze. However, Baluba didn't react at all. The only difference between her and a corpse was that her chest was still rising and falling.

"After drinking so much... doesn't she need to go to the bathroom?" Reid hesitated and then asked cautiously.

"…Gurungi doesn't need to go to the bathroom."

"Is this true? I will believe it!" Rhett covered his face and exclaimed, then came to Sleeping Beauty.

Even when she was drunk and in a deep sleep, Baluba was still so noble and cool, but with the bed made of empty wine bottles under her, she looked a little pitiful.
