Knight Asylum

Xiao Xing put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and her eyes were as bright as a mirror.

“…Cough! Cough cough cough—”

"Together?"

"This... is too direct? He can't handle it," Baluba's face turned red like a blooming rose, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Is it really?"

Chapter 933 Hostility

After running all the way, Red and the others returned to the downtown area. Sonoda Mari was gasping for breath with her hands on her knees, and even Qiao looked up and held her forehead, looking like she was out of breath. Red, however, was breathing steadily, without even a drop of sweat.

"Red! Do you know how dangerous what you just did was!"

Mari Sonoda, who had finally caught her breath, poked Reid's head and raised her voice.

"Something dangerous?"

"I know you want to comfort Miss Baluba, but...but what if she's like Xiao Xing!"

After Sonoda Mari said this, Red's face changed. Let's not talk about what happened before. Now that he has lost his ability to transform, he can't even resist Xiao Xing, let alone Baluba.

But is it really possible for Baruba to do something like that?

It was hard for Red to imagine that Baluba, who always looked noble and cold, was like Xiao Xing, but... thinking about it carefully, Xiao Xing had been so quiet and gentle before, but just now she just hugged his neck and bit it.

Reid subconsciously raised his hand to cover the place on his neck where Xiaoxing had bitten him. It still felt a little itchy, and the softness of Xiaoxing's lips seemed to still linger there.

"...Uh, let's go together~"

"Eh?"

"Hey! I didn't say anything! I was just kidding!" Reid coughed awkwardly and avoided Sonoda Mari's sight with a flickering look.

"Ah—your eyes!"

"But Gurongi is indeed a problem," Red changed the subject and reached out to hold Sonoda Mari's face and rubbed it hard, "Fortunately, there is still some time before the million-game."

"Hmmmm - do you really understand the seriousness of the target's problem?" Sonoda Mari angrily slapped Red's hand away, staring into Red's eyes seriously.

"Now you have already..."

"You can no longer transform into Kuuga now, and it will even bring you a lot of danger."

Soukai Masato said this when he suddenly appeared and asked to talk alone.

Red crossed his arms over his chest and tilted his head, his eyes moving down to the motorcycle next to Masato Kusaga. A silver box was tied to the back seat of the motorcycle, and most likely the kaixa belt was placed there.

"If this goes on, the truth will also be in danger. Is that what you want to say?" Red raised his finger.

Seeing that Reid called Sonoda Mari's name directly, Kusaka Masato was unhappy, but he didn't show it. He raised his hand and patted his forehead with an expression that said, "It's great that you understand."

"Now that you understand..."

"But even if you say so, I won't interfere with the choice of truth," Red put his hands on his hips.

"Tsk——"

Ah... I won’t hide it this time.

Reid felt helpless.

Although Masato Kusaga always appears gentle and refined, Red can sense his hostility.

He was a sunny, gentle and handsome big brother, but his shoes were stained with dark and damp mud, leaving many traces on the ground. Following the traces, one could find that this sunny and handsome big brother came out of a dark and damp alley.

However, considering that Masato Soka is Mari Sonoda's childhood sweetheart, Red chose to ignore it.

"Really? Indeed, the truth's own decision is the most important--"

Masato Soka let out a long breath, turned around and got into the car, picked up his helmet, glanced at Reid, put on the helmet, started the car, waved to Mari Sonoda who was looking in the distance, then started the engine and drove away.

"Red, didn't Masato say anything strange to you?"

Seeing that Kusa Kayato left so quickly, Sonoda Mari came to Red jogging with her backpack and tested him cautiously.

"What strange words can you say?"

Red tilted his eyes and raised his hands to spread them out.

"I'm just worried that you'll be implicated in my affairs."

"Involvement... We are all like this now, so why should we be involved or not?"

Mari Sonoda was stunned for a moment and retorted without thinking. Mari Sonoda was also stunned when she spoke, and her face turned red when she saw Qiao giving her a strange look.

"W-what——did I say anything weird?!"

"Uh... together?"

"Huh? Ah—you guy! I'm ignoring you!"

Seeing Red grinning, Sonoda Mari knew she had been fooled. She turned around angrily, pulling her backpack and walking quickly forward, but after walking a few meters, she immediately walked back quickly, went around Red's back and pushed Red forward.

Because of the large amplitude of the movement, the collar that was raised to cover Reid's neck fell down, revealing his neck which had been bitten by Xiao Xing, leaving a noticeable mark.

Qiao subconsciously looked at Reid's neck. For some reason, she felt a little anxious.

"Let's go! Don't you have something important to do? If not, then hurry back!"

"Ah... let me think about it - oh, it's almost time for dinner now, let's go to Xu's place for dinner, how about it, Qiao?"

Qiao, whose thoughts were a little distracted, came back to his senses, nodded slightly and followed.

At the same time, a man walked slowly and blocked the front of Kusaga Masato's car.

Masato Kusaga narrowed his eyes slightly but did not release the accelerator. At his current speed, if he crashed into the opponent, he would most likely be knocked into the sky. However, the opponent not only had no intention of giving way, he even leisurely lit a cigarette.

"Tsk——"

Masato Kusaga locked the brakes and turned the car to make a handsome turn in front of the man. The wind blew the man's military coat.

"I thought you would really bump into me," the man in the military coat blew out a smoke ring and smiled nonchalantly.

"Why are you here? Are you here to supervise me?" Kusaga Yato took off his helmet, frowned uncomfortably, and called out the other party's name, "Colonel Montana."

"Ha - you didn't disappoint me, did you?" Montana put down his cigarette and glanced at the box in the back seat of Kusaga Masato's car. "You didn't give the belt to Red as agreed."

Masato Kusaga took a deep breath, removed the box from the back seat and threw it in Montana's direction, but Montana didn't pay any attention and let the box fall to the ground.

The physical impact broke the lock and a silver belt with a spade logo flew out.

"Of course, I won't mind if you take this belt without permission," Montana smiled, "This belt will give you power beyond human power."

"Who would use such a dangerous belt?" Kusaga Masato sneered. "After all... is there anyone in this world who can really use a belt that needs to absorb undead beasts to work?"

"Red can do it, and...if the calculation is correct, he can probably absorb more than twenty undead beasts now," Montana bent down, picked up the belt, dusted it off, and handed it to Masato Kusaga.

"If there is enough time...it is not impossible to absorb all the undead beasts."

Chapter 934: God Killer

"Brother Red—good afternoon!"

The flower of the Tiandao tree opened its arms, smiled brightly and made a "yeah" gesture to Red.

"Of course! Good afternoon to Sister Zhenli and Sister Qiao as well!"

No one hates a sunny and cheerful girl.

The guests who were dining all cast doting glances at the flowers of the Tiandao tree.

"Yo - looks like it's very busy right now," Red waved his hand, found a seat in a corner, sat down, and looked around the store.

The decoration itself has not been changed, but there are many oil paintings hanging on the walls, which are obviously the works painted by Kusakabe Xu himself.

“Wow—after all, Sister Xu’s cooking is really great—” Tiandao Shuhua put her hands on her hips and nodded seriously, “Ah—speaking of which, Amanokawa High School will hold a school festival later, and Sister Xu plans to set up a stall there!”

"It was Auntie who made the decision on her own."

At this time, Kusakabe Xu came out from the kitchen with two plates of food and told the truth.

"Hey - Sister Xu, you're back, right? Please!" Tiandao Tree Flower clasped her fingers and stared at Kusakabe Xu pitifully.

"Well - I understand -"

In the end, Kusakabe Xu had no way to say no to the poor Tiandao Shuhua. Red laughed subconsciously, but when Tiandao Shuhua turned to him, Red's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously turned his face away.

"Brother Red - you'll come too, right? Please! This is my last time attending the school festival as a high school student!"

Red raised his hands faster than Kusakabe Xu.

"Great - then I'll leave it to you during graduation season, Brother Red! You just need to go on stage and do it in a few moves!"

"Ah - about this matter... Shuhua, I have good news for you. Tiandao will be back soon and will definitely be able to catch up with the graduation season."

The flower of the Tiandao tree blinked and slowly tilted its head.

"..."

"Ah, ah~"

Red's forehead was covered with sweat. He raised his right hand with a wry smile, "Shuhua, you are very happy, right?"

"Um--well, happy, happy. By the way, Brother Red, about the graduation season--"

So perfunctory!

Even though he had lost the ability to transform into Kuuga, Red could still clearly feel a pair of eyes staring at him with deep resentment from behind.

"I have submitted Brother Reid's name. Teacher Shanpu was a little embarrassed at first, but I have convinced him," Tiandao Shuhua raised his hand and patted his chest with great pride.

"……I see!"

Red avoided the hesitant looks of Sonoda Mari and Takumi.

While Tiandao Shuhua was smilingly receiving other guests, Sonoda Mari reached out and pulled Reid's clothes, lowering her voice, "Are you really okay like this?"

"What do you mean? What? I'm just fulfilling my promise to Tiandao to take good care of his sister," Red's eyes flickered, "Look how happy Shuhua is now."

"Yeah, I'm so happy that I don't care whether my brother comes back or not!" After Sonoda Mari finished complaining, she subconsciously raised her head and looked around.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to hear the sound of a broken heart just now.

"No - Shuhua cares about her brother very much. The reason she is so optimistic is to prevent her brother from feeling too guilty when he comes back," Qiao picked up the hot tea and blew it in sips.

"Shuhua is a good child."

"It seems to be the case, that's true!" Sonoda Mari muttered for a while and then nodded vigorously.

However, being a good child does not mean that the child will never lose his temper.

Qiao glanced at Tiandao Tree Flower's back.

When Tendō Souji arrives, the nightmare for his brother Tendō Souji may just begin.

After enjoying the food prepared by Kusakabe Xu, Red and the others patted their bellies in satisfaction and said goodbye to the flower of the Tiandao tree.

The warm sunlight fell on his body, and Red felt a little sleepy.

One of the many changes brought about by the loss of the transformed Kuuga is that his perception ability is not as strong, and the world seems a lot quieter and fresher to him.

There is a saying that goes, you may not feel anything at the moment of losing something, but every day thereafter life will continue to remind you how important it is.

I miss you, Lingshi-chan.

"You have such a weird expression—" Mari Sonoda reached out and patted Reid's face.

"I'm just a little sleepy—"

Red put his left hand in his pocket, looked up at the sky and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered the [S·L] tourist guide that was forgotten in the corner.

After being in [S·L] for so long, he never seemed to have completed his original mission seriously and had a good time in [S·L].

Just as Red was thinking about restarting his travel plans, Red's eyes met with a young man in hospital gown across the street.

This was just a normal opponent, without any deep meaning. The opponent did not deliberately look at Reid, it was just a coincidence, so the young man's eyes quickly moved away and shook left and right in a daze.

It is not so much that I am looking for something, but rather that I am thinking about what I should look for. I feel lost, as if I were an orphan abandoned by the world.

After a brief pause at the intersection, the young man in hospital gown continued to move forward with the crowd. Some passers-by cast curious glances at him, but most chose to ignore him.

"Red, what's wrong?"

Seeing Reid staring across the street, Sonoda Mari looked over curiously.

"No, I saw a strange person, I went over to take a look--"
