"this is?"

Yuji Kiba was a little dazed when he saw the unconscious Ken Takumi. He felt like he seemed to have seen this boy somewhere, and just a few days ago.

Nagata Yuka, who was standing by, looked at the unconscious Qian Qiao and recognized him as the clerk who greeted her when she went to the Western Laundry, a boy with a cold face but a warm heart.

"Mr. Qian Qiao! Why is he here?"

After she finished speaking, Nagata Yuka also walked over. She was surprised to see the scars on Qian Qiao's face and chest. She couldn't believe what kind of torture Qian Qiao had suffered.

Haitang Zhiye, who was standing by, also came up and looked at Qian Qiao in front of him and said with some concern: "Could this guy have been attacked by the Orphino just now? Looking at his appearance, he might also become Orphino? Should we talk to Brother Gaoqiao about it?"

After listening to what Naoya Kaitang said, Yuji Kiba remembered where he and Takumi Inui had met before.

The Inui Takumi in front of him had become a guy like Takahashi Toru's delta, and he also killed the teacher who he let go because of his carelessness, avenged Naoya Kaitang, and saved Kuroda, giving him a chance to realize his dream. But Takahashi Toru told him that only Orphino could use the belt.

"Could it be? Kill him!"

When Kiba Yuji saw the empty belly of Kensho and the empty Pegasus, he seemed to understand something.

The Qian Qiao in front of me must have had his belt stolen!

Naoya Haitang and Yuka Nagata looked at Yuji Kiba and immediately thought that he knew Takumi Inui, and said immediately: "Kiba, this Takumi Inui will be in your care. I need to take the eggs back first."

Haitangzhi also raised the egg in his hand, indicating that the work in his hands was not finished yet.

When Nagata Yuka looked at Kenqiao's drowsy appearance, she remembered the scene when she held a baseball bat and performed a bondage play on Kaitang Naoya. She immediately shook her head to refuse and picked up Xiaozhi.

Looking at the two people who had refused, Kiba Yuji immediately nodded and agreed to take on the responsibility of taking care of Qian Qiao.

He looked at Qian Qiao who had fainted not only because he was capable of doing it, but also because he wanted to ask him about the belt and whether he knew that he was Orpheino.

Just looking at Qian Qiao's current look and the impression he had at that time, Kiba Yuji felt that Qian Qiao didn't know that he was Ophio. At this moment, he wanted to ask Takahashi Toru for help, but he felt that it would be better for him to handle such a simple matter by himself. Although he knew that Takahashi Toru would be happy to help, seeing that Takahashi Toru always came to the bakery in a hurry recently and left again after a while, he was afraid that they would have to part sooner or later, a real separation.

……

Time passes in silence.

Qian Qiao opened his eyes with a headache, looking at the unfamiliar white ceiling and the faint floral scent. He couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

"Where am I?"

At this moment, Qian Qiao was confused. He clearly remembered that he had just seen that two of the three staff members of the bakery that Kikuchi Keitaro often visited were from Orpheus?

Kiba Yuji looked at Ken Takumi who had just woken up and put down the basin of water he had just taken, then quickly picked up the warm water on the table and handed it to him.

Qian Qiao felt the water that was as warm as before being handed to him and couldn't help but feel a slight warmth in his heart.

"Ano. My name is Kiba Yuji, Aqiao. How are you feeling now?"

There was no change in the expression on Qian Qiao's face as he listened to Kiba Yuji's words. He just drank the water and asked his own questions.

"You...why didn't you kill me? Aren't you Ophino?"

After listening to Qian Qiao's words, Kiba Yuji finally confirmed his guess that Qian Qiao didn't even know that he was Ophio.

"We are not Orphino, we are humans with the ability to transform into Orphino. We are different from those monsters who only know how to kill humans. And don't you know that?"

When Qian Qiao heard Kiba Yuji say that they were not the Orphinos he fought, he paused for a moment but did not refute anything. However, he was stunned when Kiba Yuji mentioned himself.

"me?"

"Hmm. Qian Qiao, why did you use the power of the belt to fight those monsters?"

"Fighting..."

Qian Qiao lay down, looking at the blank ceiling and continued, "Because there was a sharp-tongued guy who asked me to use the power of the belt to protect her. But now the belt has been returned, and that sharp-tongued guy is also protected by a boy who is more powerful than me."

Qian Qiao's voice became smaller and smaller. His mind was filled with the sharp-tongued round-faced girl, and he completely forgot about the problem about Orphino that he had mentioned at the beginning.

Looking at the somewhat decadent Ken Takumi lying on the bed, Kiba Yuji could sense the reluctance and sadness in his heart. With the idea of ​​protecting his smile, he felt that he needed to help Ken Takumi.

"But Qiao. The power of the belt can only be used with the power of Ophiino. What if the boy who is more powerful than you is not a good person? And Qiao, are you willing to let someone else protect the girl you have protected for so long?"

After listening to Kiba Yuji's words, Qian Qiao jumped out of bed in shock, put on his shoes and prepared to run out, but when he arrived at the door of the apartment, he hunched his back dejectedly.

"...Leave the task of fighting Orphino to us..."

As the words of the Meteor Villa members rang out one after another, a rare look of sarcasm appeared on Qian Qiao's face.

"If the power of the belt can only be used by Ophino, then what are they doing?"

After Qian Qiao laughed at himself, he walked into the stairs with a dejected step, stopping Kiba Yuji who wanted to follow him, and then the elevator door closed.

Yuji Kiba looked at the descending elevator helplessly, turned back to the apartment and picked up the phone.

……

Zhinao Company, President’s Office.

Smartlady walked in with a tearful face, and reported to the beetle in the office with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, President. J seems to have failed. He used up his last two chances to revive. Now J has completely turned into sand. It's really sad and regrettable. Woo woo woo."

After crying for a while, smartlady said again: "President, I almost forgot. J's best resurrection seems to have been killed by Ophiino who was beside Takahashi. Should we ask him?"

Click.

At the desk, Beetle listened to Smartlady's report calmly until she mentioned Takahashi Toru. Beetle finally couldn't control the force and broke the pen in his hand.

When the voice came from the table, a hint of joy flashed in the smartlady's eyes.

Beetle put his beloved pen on the table, put on a smile and said to Smartlady softly, "Let's put aside Mr. Takahashi's matter for now. As for J's death, I express my regret on behalf of the company. According to the tradition of the lucky four-leaf clover having four Ophienos, let Miss Kageyama and the other three choose new Ophienos to join. As for the test, it is to retrieve the belt, or kill the Ophienos that are free."

Smartlady smiled disdainfully in her heart when she heard Beetle's ambiguous words, but she still had a very enthusiastic smile on her face.

"Okay, okay, President. We will definitely notify you. Then just focus on your work. We won't bother you anymore."

After smartlady finished speaking, she walked out of the president's office.

Boom!

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Beetle stood up from the chair, stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked outside with a solemn expression.

The position of president is indeed very comfortable, but there are always shadows of the board of directors and Takahashi Toru, so there are always some things that he cannot do at will. However, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the board of directors above him. As for the method of dealing with it, of course, it is to kill with a borrowed knife, and the knife can only be Takahashi Toru. But he still needs to think about how to let this knife kill people.

……

Green Park.

After Qian Qiao parked the mobile Pegasus, he walked to a bench and sat down, looking at the people playing carefree, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

When Yuji Kiba said that only Ophino could use the belt, the thing he least wanted to think of came to his mind.

A few months ago, I encountered a tragedy in which Orphino attacked humans at night. I transformed into the wolf Orphino and tried to stop him, but the difference in strength and fighting will made me fail. The people who were attacked were Sonoda Mari and the others. It seems that they all forgot about it.

This kind of brainless plot sounds ridiculous, but it really happened to Qian Qiao. No one knows whether it was fate or that mysterious guy who did it.

"Big brother, didn't you eat?"

Qian Qiao paused as he looked at the mother and daughter in front of him, and immediately wanted to refuse out loud. But...

goo~ goo~

An awkward voice was heard, and Qian Qiao held back the words of refusal that she wanted to say, feeling very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Morishita looked at Qian Qiao, whose face showed that he wanted to refuse but whose body was very honest, so she put the bread from her daughter's hand into Qian Qiao's hand.

"Take it, kid. It's just a loaf of bread. You can't pursue your dreams if you're hungry."

"Brother, Brother Takahashi said that if you don't have enough to eat, you can't achieve your dreams. Keiko wants to make people happy like Brother Takahashi, so I'm eating well."

Qian Qiao looked at the bread from Saori Bakery in his hand, listened to what Mrs. Morishita and Keiko said, opened the package and took a bite before muttering, "Dream?"

Mrs. Morishita and Keiko looked at Qian Qiao, who accepted the bread and opened it to take a bite of the spicy food, and a smile of the start of school appeared on his face. They left hand in hand in silence.

"A dream? What on earth is that kind of thing?"

People often say that the innocent words of children are the most sincere. Even a guy like Qian Qiao who has no dreams couldn't help but be moved.

But this kind of emotion still lacks the most crucial thing.

"Ah ah!"

Hearing a scream, Qian Qiao stood up and looked over.

Mrs. Morishita was seen holding Keiko and looking ahead with a frightened look on her face. There was a dog named Ophio, holding a blade in its right hand and piercing the body of the human in its left hand.

sand.

Not long after the human was bitten by the blade, he turned into a ball of sand and disappeared with the wind.

"Failed again? This is really troublesome. That madman is killing us every day, and those old guys don't take action to stop it. I really don't understand!"

Inu Ophino said dissatisfiedly, and after looking around, his eyes finally fell on Mrs. Morishita and Keiko. His eyes were full of greed, but after thinking of the orders from above, he could only shake his head with heartache.

"hateful!"

In the distance, Qian Qiao looked at the scene in front of him and subconsciously reached for his waist, wanting to take out Faiz's mobile phone, but this time it was empty, with nothing inside except the bread bag.

Looking at the bag with the words "give happiness to others" printed on it in my hand, Mrs. Morishita and Keiko's smiles and their innocent yet true words just now came to my mind.

"Ah! Don't come over here!"

Mrs. Morishita ran a few steps while holding Keiko and then fell down, screaming with fear in her eyes. Keiko in her arms looked at Qian Qiao with a pair of big eyes full of expectation.

Behind the two was the dog Aophiono, who was holding a blade in his hand and had a playful and happy look in his eyes.

Since I can't get it, I'll just have some fun with you, ma'am.

With this idea in mind, Inuofienno did not immediately perform apostle regeneration on Mrs. Morishita and Keiko. It was because of this that Qian Qiao was able to see Keiko looking at him with expectant eyes.

Qian Qiao looked into Huizi's eyes and couldn't help but clench his hands. Waves of intense emotions passed through his body, and an emotion called protection took root in his heart.

"Ahhhh!"

Qian Qiao howled to the sky, and after attracting the attention of the dog Orphino, he rushed directly towards it. A gray light appeared on the surface of his body during the sprint, and a white wolf tail appeared, followed by a gray armor that emerged and wrapped him up completely.

boom!

Caught off guard, Inu Aofiino was knocked flying by Qian Qiao. He crashed into several trees before he stopped and stood up.

After standing up, Inu Aofiino said to the unfamiliar Qian Qiao: "Hey! You are Aofiino? What are you doing?"

Qian Qiao listened to what Inu Aofiino said, glanced at the mother and daughter behind him who were full of relief and gratitude for surviving the disaster, and said passionately: "I am just a human with the power to become Aofiino. Besides... things like dreams need people to realize them! Although dreams are difficult to realize, I think no matter how difficult it is to realize a dream, I will not let a guy like you destroy it! I want to protect my dream!"

Chapter 21: Takahashi Toru's Rumors Never Stop

"Protect your dreams? Haha. Don't say such impractical things. Just go to hell!"

Inu Ophiino stood up and spoke with disdain, then raised the blade in his hand and rushed towards Qian Qiao, but there was a glimmer of cunning in his eyes.

Qian Qiao looked at the rushing Inu Aofeino and did not dare to be careless. His wolf eyes were fixed on Inu Aofeino.

boom!

A flame suddenly burned on Inu Ophino's body, and turned into ashes in the surprised eyes of Qian Qiao and his group.

Salsa!

There were waves of commotion among the trees. Qian Qiao looked over with alert eyes, and was ready to be killed instantly. After all, the body of the dog Orphino suddenly burst into flames, and then turned into ashes in a very short time. He was afraid that the strength of the newcomer was extremely strong, and he might not have a chance to attack at all.

He just made plans to protect, so how could he be afraid?

pat!

After the sound in the bushes stopped, a hand slapped Qian Qiao's body, directly transforming him back from the state of Orphino, revealing that cold and dazed handsome face.

"Brother Takahashi!"

Behind him, Huizi's voice came, which made Qian Qiao's extremely tense body relax a little. But after relaxing, his face became painful, and the shoulder that was patted was in great pain. But in order to maintain the heroic image just now, Qian Qiao still forced himself to endure it.

Takahashi Toru smiled at Keiko before turning Qian Qiao's body around. He patted Qian Qiao's shoulders with both hands before nodding and saying, "You are a very good guy, Qian Qiao, right? My name is Takahashi Toru, and you can just call me Brother Takahashi like Kiba and the others. Work hard and become stronger! Only by becoming stronger can you protect your dream."

Qian Qiao nodded with a bitter look on his face.

"Brother Qianqiao, come on!"

Huizi looked at Qian Qiao who looked a little listless and encouraged him again.

Qian Qiao smiled slightly when he saw this.

Then, Takahashi Toru, as a person who had experienced it, said a lot of things to Qian Qiao, including but not limited to the Lucky Clover, the Intelligent Brain Company and so on.
