Xia Chuanhu asked this question suddenly.

This sudden question made Wuliangta Longjie slightly stunned, and then he smiled and said: "Excuse me, what do you mean...?"

"For some reason, my perception ability is quite sensitive. I can clearly sense those auras that are not human, even the fluctuations as small as a hair. And just now when I saw you... or to be more precise, the moment you arrived at this airport, I felt that there was some inhuman being spying on me."

"Moreover, after coming in front of you, the feeling of being watched suddenly became stronger. I have encountered a rather tricky situation before. A serial murderer had the ability to completely change his appearance and replace the original person."

"So now I have to doubt whether you are really Ryuusuke Muryota, an ordinary human being."

Xia Chuanhu crossed his legs, crossed his fingers, and stared at the man in front of him with a smile.

"Or... is there something on you that's spying on me? Let me see, it's probably in... your coat pocket? Right?"

The soul-corroding demonic eye looked towards Ryuusuke Muliangta's coat pocket.

Wuliangta Ryusuke's face froze, and after a while he laughed awkwardly twice: "Ah...hahaha~~~ You really are a joker. Of course I am the real Wuliangta Ryusuke. It seems that you really like this kind of black humor."

"There's no need to pretend. There are only three of us here. Let's talk openly."

Ignoring Ryusuke Muryota's lame cover-up, Natsukawa Tora continued staring at his coat pocket. As he said, the terminal hall, which originally had few people, was now empty without anyone noticing. Even the staff could not be seen.

In the huge airport, only Xiachuanhu and Wuliangta Ryusuke were left sitting opposite each other, and...

"Do you want me to drag you out of there, or do you want me to do it on your own?"

"An outsider who does not belong to Earth."

28. A disaster that destroys civilization? Round table! Meeting!

Gum!

In an instant, just as Xia Chuan Hu finished speaking, a huge blood-red eye along with several huge and thick tentacles appeared behind Wuliangta Longjie, and an invisible sense of oppression suddenly fell on Xia Chuan Hu.

Xia Chuanhu had been targeted by many people before, and a large number of them were not human. He had confronted even those indescribable creatures several times.

In a sense, he was quite experienced in this kind of situation, so -

"Have you seen enough?"

Xia Chuanhu simply glared back lightly, and his blood-red eyes trembled violently as if frightened, and all of his tentacles shrank back into the space behind Wuliangta Longjie!

Patting his shoulders as if he had been stained with something dirty, Xia Chuanhu sighed softly: "Aren't you ready to come out yet?"

"...Hey, come out, Mint."

After hesitating for a long time, as if giving up resistance, Wuliangta Ryusuke patted his pocket, and under Xiachuanhu's surprised eyes, a black thing jumped out of his pocket.

Mints?

"…its name?"

"Yes, Mr. Bodyguard... or should I not call you that?"

[Humph! What kind of bodyguard is he?]

The creature that looked like a black fur ball glared at Xiachuanhu angrily.

[If he is your bodyguard, then you can survive even if the world is destroyed, Ryusuke! This is the first time I have seen such a powerful individual. Even the Herrscher in the records is no match for this guy in front of me! ]

[A monster in human skin! ]

"Snapped!"

The black fur ball had just finished speaking when an ultra-small magic bullet was shot at him, sending it flying.

Xia Chuanhu chuckled and said, "Although I know you are praising my strength, I am not a monster. After all, I am recognized by the [world] itself as a real brave man and hero. Please don't smear me, okay?"

"Brave and hero...?" Ryusuke Muryo chewed on the two words, "What is your purpose?"

"Hmm? No purpose - ah, you want to ask whether I am a real bodyguard, or I am pretending to be a bodyguard to get close to you, right?" Xia Chuanhu shifted his long legs and said, "The answer is the former. I really accepted Otto's commission and came to serve as your bodyguard. The reason why I suddenly attacked now is purely because I felt a strange sense of peeping that I don't like. It's a professional habit."

After saying that, Xia Chuanhu looked at the black fur ball that had returned to Wuliangta Ryusuke's shoulder and said, "I don't know what you, who is obviously an extraterrestrial life form, are thinking, but it's not good to peek at others casually. I have a good temper. If it were the one in my family, he would definitely draw his sword and chop you to death."

Even if it was Xia Chuanhu who couldn't die, he wouldn't want to be chopped by his own Miss Liangyi - although he couldn't die, it was still very uncomfortable for his body to remain in a divided state. Elquet had a full say in this point.

【Humph! 】

The black ball of fur still looked unconvinced.

"Well, Mr. Wuliangta, can I ask what kind of existence it is? I believe I have dealt with many extraterrestrial life forms, but I have never seen anything like it."

"this......"

Wuliang Talonjie looked embarrassed.

On the contrary, the black ball of hair is quite straightforward.

[Go ahead, Ryusuke. We've been exposed anyway, and this guy is such a good fighter. Let him help us with that.]

that matter?

Xiachuanhu raised his eyebrows, and after being told this by his companion, Wuliangta Longjie pursed his lips, and finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bodyguard, if it's something about mint candy, I can indeed tell you, but mint candy...it's too early to tell you about that."

"At least I don't trust the bodyguard in front of me."

"I think so." Xia Chuanhu said with a smile, "It is a taboo to reveal your most important things to a stranger you just met, but Mr. Wuliangta, do you think you have the right to refuse?"

"I think I do."

(Mint, be ready to run away at any time, even if it means attracting the pursuit of destiny.)

(Ryusuke, are you serious? Fine, I'll try my best - but don't hold out too much hope for him!)

Compared to Ryusuke Muryota, who was just an ordinary human, Mint could feel more from Natsukawa Tiger, but just the part he felt made Mint feel as if he had stepped into some inviolable restricted area, as if his entire existence would disappear if he stayed there for one more second.

"Hmm~~~~Okay."

After thinking for a while, Xia Chuanhu accepted Wuliangta Longjie's words: "There is no reason for me to conflict with you. As long as this extraterrestrial life is quiet, I don't intend to do anything unnecessary."

"...I really appreciate your understanding."

Wuliangta Longjie immediately relaxed.

After organizing his words a little, he also talked about the peppermint candy -

To put it bluntly, Mint Candy, as Xiachuan Hu speculated, is an existence from other civilizations outside the earth, that is, "aliens" in common sense. But unlike the aliens that appear in science fiction movies, Mint Candy's original civilization had long been destroyed. In order to escape from the enemy that destroyed the civilization, Mint Candy and its companions created a special vehicle [Candy House] that can carry out interstellar navigation, and continue to wander in the universe.

Of course, this happened long before Mint was born. In the Candy House, Mint was considered a new individual. In order to prevent the Earth from suffering the same disaster as their home planet, Mint came to the human world. After some searching, he contacted Wuliangta Ryusuke and prepared to jointly deal with the disaster that might happen in the future.

As for its current appearance...it can be said to be a kind of cognitive interference.

......

“——That’s about it.”

Wuliangta Ryusuke ended with these words, and then looked at Xiachuanhu with a somewhat nervous expression.

He had said everything he thought he could say, but if Xia Chuanhu was still not satisfied...

"Oh, that's it. I don't think it's a big deal."

Unexpectedly, Xia Chuanhu's reaction was quite... indifferent?

Putting away his outward aura, Xia Chuanhu smiled gently again and said, "I understand the situation. I'm sorry that my personal habits have caused you some trouble, Mr. Wuliangta. Let's get along well from now on. I will be responsible for protecting your safety."

[…Is this how you react?]

Mints are also quite confusing.

"What reaction do you want to see from me? Be frightened by what you said, and then threaten you to tell more and report to Otto? Or be frightened by the so-called enemy who destroys civilization?"

"Then you really underestimated me. How many times do you think I have saved the world?"

Xia Chuanhu stood up.

"It's just a disaster of the degree of [destroying civilization]. If it dares to appear on this earth, I will destroy it as quickly as possible without leaving any trace."

"..."

"Okay~~~ It's almost time to board the plane, Mr. Wuliangta, do you want to go to the bathroom first? It will take quite a while to fly from here to the United States. Also...mints, right? Are you sure you don't need to hide them? There are still some around."

After hearing what Xiachuanhu said, Wuliangta Ryusuke and Mint were suddenly shocked to realize that the terminal hall, which was previously empty, was now filled with scattered people again.

Even though Mint knew that its existence would not be noticed by ordinary humans, the sudden change in environment still made it shudder, and it quickly hid in the pocket of Wuliangta Longjie's clothes.

"when......?"

"Uh-huh, when do you think it is?"

Xiachuanhu's gentle smile was as cold as the winter wind in Wuliangta Ryusuke's eyes.

(Really... I met the worst bodyguard.)

29. The First Herrscher lurking in the academy

The distance between Tianming headquarters and the United States is across the Atlantic Ocean and most of Europe. If you take a plane, it normally takes more than twelve hours.

But that was taking an ordinary plane. The plane independently developed by Tianming only needed half the time to arrive.

But even so, it was nearly seven hours later when Natsukawa Tora and Muryota Ryusuke got off the plane.

Dragging his suitcase into the airport lobby, Ryusuke Muryota looked at Tora Natsukawa who came out with him and said, "I'm going to go look for my daughter next. Do you want to come with me, Mr. Natsukawa?"

"Well... I actually have some things I want to do when I come to the United States. If possible, I would like to have some private time - let's put it this way, I will keep a distance of at least 500 meters from you and will not take any suspicious actions. You can move freely."

"Five hundred meters?"

"Still think it's too close?"

"No, I just think...is it too far?"

Even someone like Ryusuke Murata who knew nothing about security could be sure that accurately monitoring a person from a distance of 500 meters was not a matter of difficulty. He could already think of several ways to escape surveillance.

Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "That's not something you need to worry about. Even if I'm one kilometer away, as long as you're still alive, I can accurately sense your presence and monitor you. Besides, it's only [500 meters]. If it weren't for the fact that I could rush to your side as soon as possible when you were in danger, I would be happy to monitor you from several kilometers away."

"Yes, really?"

Because these words were so unbelievable, Wuliangta Ryusuke couldn't tell for a moment whether Xiachuanhu was bluffing or telling the truth.

"That's it, I'll leave the airport first. You should go find your daughter quickly. Is she here to pick me up?"

"No, I didn't tell her I was coming. I wanted to surprise her."

"Is it?"

Without saying anything else, Xiachuanhu smiled and waved, then left Wuliangta Ryusuke first with his only luggage, a suitcase.

And watching his back as he left, Wuliangta Ryusuke did not leave immediately, but touched his pocket: "Mint, how much do you think what he just said is true?"

[Who knows? But... I do feel like I'm being stared at. It's really uncomfortable.]

"Is it......"

After hesitating for a moment, Wuliangta Ryusuke sighed.

(Forget it, I'd better go find the friends I made an appointment with before.)

------------------

"...Uh-huh~~~Friends."

Outside the airport, Xia Chuanhu, who was already more than 500 meters away from Wuliangta Longjie, listened to the voice in his ears and raised his mouth slightly: "Sure enough, he is secretly planning something. The so-called coming to see his daughter is half a cover, right?"

After spending a long time with people who like to play tricks, Xia Chuanhu has also summed up a set of experience. Coupled with his experience and vision, even if it is someone like Wuliangta Ryusuke whom he meets for the first time, he can figure out his thoughts, not to mention that he had revealed his hidden plan before.

Xiachuanhu was sure that Wuliangta Longjie had some other plans in mind.

(The United States is Anti-Entropy's territory. The possibility that can be imagined is... has Anti-Entropy been contacted secretly? Are you preparing to switch from Tianming to Anti-Entropy?)

(No, considering that there is an extraterrestrial life form accompanying him, the purpose should be more than just this.)

Should we report this to Otto? Or should we go and subdue Ryusuke Muryota right now?

"No... No matter what the situation is, I don't need to take care of it, right?"

After stretching his body naturally, Xia Chuanhu sighed softly.

Whatever Wuliangta Ryusuke wants to do has nothing to do with him. What he needs to care about is the extraterrestrial life form and his safety. A bodyguard should do what a bodyguard should do, and he doesn't need to worry too much about situations outside of the mission. If he worries too much, it will easily bring himself unnecessary trouble and extra overtime.

Oh, there are exceptions if it is an extreme case where there is a possibility of widespread damage.
