Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

Aqua tossed her long hair up with her right hand, put on an "I understand you" expression, and chuckled, "Humph, Kazuma, if I ever..."

"I'll have a party to celebrate." Kazuma interrupted decisively and threw the remaining apple core accurately into Aqua's open mouth.

“Pfft!” Aqua frantically spat out the core and stamped her feet in anger. “You, you…”

But then an idea suddenly struck her. She crossed her arms in prayer, a sly glint in her eyes that didn't belong to her. "I get it, Kazuma. You must be saying this on purpose because you're afraid of losing me! That's what they call tsundere, right? Oh my, you're really not being honest at all. When the day comes that I'm captured by the Demon King's army..."

"I'll help with the packing." Kazuma yawned.

Chapter 253: A Dream in the Garden (Twenty-Two)

Huo Huo found herself in a quiet courtyard. Drawing on her previous experience fighting Sui Yang, she quickly realized she was possessed by him.

"Given Wei's arrogant temper, she was certain it wasn't Wei who possessed her. However, this was also her first time entering Suiyang's illusion alone. As she was at a loss, she saw a figure not far away—her mother."

"Mom?" Huo Huo stared in surprise at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure before her. For a moment, her throat felt as if it were clogged with a ball of warm cotton. Her voice trembled slightly: "...Is this an illusion? Mom, why are you here? I miss you so much."

"She was about to move forward, but her steps suddenly froze. Her mother's terrified eyes were like a rusty knife, slowly and cruelly cutting into her heart."

"Don't, don't come near me!" The mother's sharp voice cut through the stagnant air, and she stumbled back. "You are not Huo Huo, you are not my daughter... You are carrying such a dirty thing on you, don't come near me!"

"…Is my sister okay?"

"My mother gritted her teeth and said word by word, 'She will be better off if you stay away from her.'"

A trace of guilt finally emerged in her eyes: "I'm sorry, Huo Huo, your father and I can only send you to the Ten Kings Division. Just pretend that you never had parents like us..."

"After saying that, her mother ran away in panic."

Huo Huo continued forward. Waiting for her were her childhood classmates. They clapped their hands, surrounded her, and mocked her mercilessly.

"Huo Huo's big tail is burned! Huo Huo's big tail is like a firework!"

"Monster, stay away from us!"

"Yeah? Are you playing the pitiful role? I hate people who play the pitiful role the most!"

Huo Huo choked with tears and said, "You've gone too far..."

"If you want to blame someone, blame your weird tail! None of us have flaming tails, so go away!" The classmate looked at her with disgust. "Let's not talk to monsters anymore. Go away!"

One Piece.

Chopper sat on the deck of the Sunny, his furry hooves tightly gripping a cup of hot cocoa, his eyes fixed on the scene of Huo Huo being bullied on the sky.

"Miss Huo Huo...same as me..." He lowered his eyes and murmured softly, his voice almost drowned out by the sound of the waves.

"Huh?! These bastards abandoned their own daughter just because of this?" Nami was furious. "That tail is obviously very cool! And... abandoning their daughter just because of a tail, this is unreasonable..."

Chopper's hooves trembled slightly, and the cup of hot cocoa creaked under his grip. "I... I know that feeling..." His voice was a little choked. "I haven't done anything wrong, but I'm treated like a monster..."

"Chopper..." Nami gently rubbed his hat, her eyes gentle but distressed.

"But at least that kid has some good companions now." Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, a smile on his face. "Not to mention the members of the Ghost Hunting Team, the seniors from Juouji also recognize her. As for Tail... that guy is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so maybe he's already recognized Huo Huo."

"Yeah! Just like us!" Luffy grinned and patted Chopper's back hard, almost knocking him into the deck. "Chopper is now the best ship's doctor in the world! Huo Huo will definitely become the best judge on the fairy ship!"

Chopper rubbed his sore nose and tried hard to hold back his tears, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He was about to say a few words of thanks when Zoro's voice came from not far away.

"Hmph, only the weak will be depressed by such things." Zoro leaned against the side of the ship, closed his eyes and said lightly, "A truly strong person will use his strength to shut up those idiots."

"Hey! You green-haired guy! You should say something gentle at this time!" Sanji kicked him.

"Huh?! You wanna fight, eyebrow curler?!"

"Come on! It's a good time to stretch your muscles!"

-

"After experiencing the departure of her mother and classmates, Huo Huo fell into intense self-denial and doubt. She continued forward, and Tail suddenly appeared in front of her."

"Wei Ba, why...why are you here? Haven't you already...I understand. This time, you're the one leaving." Huo Huo said aggrievedly.

"Huh?!" Tails, who had just arrived, was completely bewildered.

Huo Huo felt increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, sobbing uncontrollably: "Everyone will leave me. What should I do? I don't want to be alone..."

"Tails was about to say something, but Huo Huo stopped him immediately, saying he didn't want to see it disappear."

"Are you a judge or not? Sui Yang is disturbing your feelings! Stand up straight! Don't follow Sui Yang's ideas..."

"But Huo Huo kept repeating 'Everyone has left.' Seeing that she was completely immersed in sadness, Wei Ba gritted his teeth and decided to go all out and bring back those who had just left."

"Tails possessed Huo Huo's mother and classmates, feeling the heartlessness of her biological parents and the desire for performance of her brat classmate. Tail could only sigh deeply."

"The tail possessed her mother, pinching her throat, trying hard to imitate a woman's tone, and said seriously: "Huo Huo, my good daughter... Mom and Dad shouldn't have left you alone."

"Then he possessed his classmate again and started spouting nonsense in all seriousness: 'Huo Huo, I'm sorry, I'm just jealous that your tail is prettier than mine!'"

"Huo Huo, I've always dreamed of having such a cool tail. Would you please play with me?"

Kaguya-sama: Love is War wants me to confess my love.

In the student council room, although Kaguya Shinomiya tried her best to maintain the elegant demeanor of a young lady, she couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw the clumsy appearance of Tails in the sky.

"Oh, Tails is really a duplicity." Kaguya gently curled the hair at the temples with her fingertips, "This clumsy way is really..."

"Hmm? Sigong, don't you want someone to comfort you like this?" Baiyin looked up at Sigong, and the tip of the pen spread a small blob of ink on the paper.

"Well, I prefer to be more direct~"

Shinomiya Kaguya held up the tea elegantly on the surface, a proper smile on her lips, but her heart was already in turmoil.

(Why is a Sui Yang so capable! This is so heartwarming! I want it too, I want it too, President!)

She stared intently at the funny sound of the tail in the sky, her fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly, and a crack quietly crept up on the wall of the cup.

(This flaming ball, on the surface, appears to be disparaging towards Huo Huo, but in fact, he is more attentive than anyone else!)

(Could the president be like this too? He appears indifferent to me, but in reality...)

Kaguya Shinomiya's gaze shot like sharp arrows at Shirogane Miyuki, who was sorting through the documents. But the other man was completely oblivious and even yawned slightly.

(He's actually yawning!)

(Didn’t the president learn anything from the tail? I love this kind of plot too!)

Rationality was evaporating, and a dark aura seemed to materialize above Shinomiya's head. If jealousy could materialize, the entire student council room would probably have been dyed blood red by her resentment.

(I really want the president to be possessed by a tail──)

(No! It would be best if the president could figure this out on his own! Say "Shinomiya is the cutest!" in a gentle tone, or "Shinomiya-san, please date me!" in a sincere tone.)

(And then I can, reluctantly...)

"Shinomiya? You look so scary..." Baiyin finally noticed her abnormality and looked up in confusion and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm, very, fine~" Kaguya's forehead was almost completely covered by the shadow, and she showed a terrifyingly bright smile, "I was just thinking that some people are worse than a ball of talking fire."

Baiyin Yuxing: “???”

The boy froze in shock, then scratched his head in confusion, muttering softly, "Did I do something wrong to make Shinomiya angry?"

Chapter 254: A Dream in the Garden (Twenty-three)

"Being teased by Tail like this, Huo Huo finally couldn't help but burst out laughing."

"They were all brought back by force after you possessed them, weren't they?" Huo Huo wiped her tears with the back of her hand, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "How can they be said to be back..."

"Oh my god, you just said you were coming back or not!!" The flames on the tail shot up a bit higher with a "tick."

Huo Huo suddenly reached out and gently covered the green flame. A warm touch spread from her palm, as if she had once again grasped a ray of sunshine.

"Tails, you're not my illusion... You're the real Tails! You're the real Tails! You're back! Where have you been all these days? I thought... you'd already..."

"Dead? I had a rough time, too." Tail explained everything that happened after the explosion, but deliberately omitted the part about him hiding in the Jackdaw Gourd, saying, "I'm not going to have an easy time."

"I was originally planning to run away, but I'm worried about you, so I came to check on you. Is this a coward? Are you capable of doing this? Have you made any progress?"

Huo Huo lowered his head in guilt: "I'm sorry, Huo Huo hasn't made any progress."

"No, you underestimate yourself. That's more than just progress. You're downright audacious! How dare you do something so dangerous all by yourself? I doubt you lack courage, but brains!"

“…Then what can I do?” Huo Huo muttered softly, sounding even more aggrieved. “I also feel that Fu Yan is deceiving me, but what if I miss her and can’t find her anymore?”

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Huo Huo, is it really because of me that these people left you?" Wei Ba suddenly asked seriously.

Huo Huo said firmly, "At least now, Wei Ba is willing to come back for me. I'm very satisfied."

"Tails smiled softly: "Since you said so, I won't feel guilty."

-

Maze rice.

"call--"

Malushier sat on the bundle, staring intently at the image of Wei Ba comforting Huo Huo in the sky. She couldn't help but smile, "These two are finally back together! I was worried about Wei Ba for so long."

"Ah~ Seriously!" Seeing this, Malushel couldn't help but complain to her tail again, "This guy clearly cares a lot about Huo Huo, but he has to act like he doesn't care! He's really obsessed with face!"

"Dead?" Laos, intently gnawing on a piece of grilled monster steak, looked up at the words, his horn still stained with sauce. "Dead? Who died? A monster? The type that needed to be bled out beforehand?"

"Laos!" Malusil stamped her feet in anger. "You weren't paying attention to Wei Ba and Huo Huo at all, were you? I was discussing the relationship between them!"

"Who said I haven't paid attention? I've always wanted to know more about species like Sui Yang, right?" Laos swallowed the piece of meat he was chewing and said seriously, "An immortal monster is rare enough in any world, right? I've always wanted to know if meat roasted by Sui Yang would have a different flavor..."

"Hmm..." Senxi also brought up an idea, "Or maybe we could let it attach itself directly to the food, so it could automatically season the meat instead of marinating it?"

"Wait! You two, switching to the topic of food is so natural, isn't it?!"

"Compared to this..." Chirchak narrowed his eyes. "Malushil, I see you've been paying close attention to Huo Huo and Wei Ba these past few days, to the point of losing your appetite. Could it be... you're envious?"

"What—! No, no!" Malusil's face flushed instantly. "I just think... as a partner, if everyone could be like them, and get back together even if they're separated, wouldn't that be great!"

"Yes, indeed." Sensi nodded, "But our team is still a long way from being separated, right?"

"Who knows?" Chilchak shrugged. "Anyway, if Laos suggests eating bug-type monsters again, I'll be the first to run away."

-

"The most urgent thing is to get out first. Tail roared, telling Sui Yang, who was occupying Huo Huo's body, to get out. Frightened by Tail, Sui Yang was caught in the trap and began to flee in panic."

"Huo Huo was quick-witted and quickly put the unsuspecting Sui Yang into the gourd."

"When Huo Huo regained consciousness, everyone immediately analyzed the situation. Although Fu Yan didn't know where the tail was, it had figured out how to divert everyone's attention. It had tricked everyone into coming to Liuyun Ferry with just one sentence, which was indeed its strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"Jack Crow has everyone go to the Divine Strategy Palace immediately to fetch the general. The 'endgame' he's been trying to delay will have to happen sooner."

"Back in Suiyuan, Fuyan unexpectedly gathered Suiyang, whom everyone had gathered earlier, back to his side. He didn't hesitate to mock Tail, and having learned from his previous failure, he completely abandoned his plan to include Tail. In his view, Tail, with its superfluous emotions, was nothing more than a waste, no matter how strong it was."

"The Ten Kings' formation is still in place, so Sui Yang can't leave Sui Garden. What you thought was a brilliant plan is nothing more than a trapped beast's struggle," the Jackdaw warned it coldly.

"I never considered leaving. I awoke from the furnace and came to Suiyuan for one reason: to fight your Luofu general." Fuyan said slowly, "Your general favors delaying tactics, so I will take advantage of the situation and offer you advice, gathering the Suiyangs here to help me!"

-

Gintama.

Gintoki lay lazily on the sofa in the Yorozuya. He put down the Shonen Jump in his hand and stared at Fuyan's extremely proud and arrogant face in the sky.

"Sure enough, this guy is the standard villain in shonen manga!" Gin-san suddenly sat up, his eyes serious for a rare moment. "This kind of 'fighting even if it means death' obsession isn't so bad after all."

"This is terrible!" Shinpachi complained silently, "This guy is plotting against everyone! He doesn't even spare his compatriots!"

"It's a plot, but at least it didn't deceive itself." Gintoki shrugged. "Compared to those hypocrites who are full of sweet words but stab you in the back, this kind of villain who says 'I'm here to fight' actually makes people... well, how should I put it, I kind of resonate with him."

Chapter 255: A Dream in the Garden (Twenty-four)

"Resonance?!" Xin Baji was shocked.

"Gin, you don't want to fight it, Aru?" Kagura blinked.

"Huh? Who would fight with a puff of smoke?" Gin-san rolled his eyes. "Besides, if we really have to fight, I'll definitely let the Shinsengumi, whose brains are made of brawn, go first."

"Aren't you a complete coward!?" Shinpachi sighed, "You, don't you admire villains like Fuyan?"

"I don't appreciate it. I just think that compared to boring conspiracies, this kind of straightforward madman is more worry-free."
