Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Alternatively, you could simply bring out the [Original Inherent Technique (Exclusive Technique)] and test it against the BOSS.

　Even if it's red, the "Crimson Array" that has touched the edge of the "Source Flow" cannot gain any advantage in front of the BOSS before it is fully deployed.

　At this point, some people might ask—

　Hey, Crescent Moon Madman, you've been rambling on Bilibili, are you just trying to pad your word count? What the hell is this "origin" nonsense? If you keep being a riddle reader, you're out of monthly votes!

　Ahem, the so-called "origin" is a technique that is basically self-contained in principle, with enough strength to establish a school of thought, and can be learned by others.

　Techniques that follow the flow and those that go against it naturally fall into this category.

　Therefore, the seemingly terrifying "Gu worms that have transformed and evolved after devouring each other" are utterly vulnerable in the face of the Three Thousand Streams of Flow.

　Even the Elf Tree immediately realized how dangerous the Great Source Flow was when the BOSS approached.

　Immediately sensing the danger, the branches began to tremble and contract.

　The notes blocking the doctor's door were quickly taken back.

　"good chance!"

　The doctor shouted this, flung open the door, and after a running start, lunged towards the BOSS: "Help me!"

　At the same time, the moment the doctor came out, the "tree," with the intelligence of a three- or four-year-old child, immediately realized something, and the branches that had retracted immediately rolled back... rushing towards the doctor.

　Although it's still quite immature, it has already figured things out...

　If you don't want to be "eliminated" as an out-of-control experimental subject, then it's best to have something on your hands to use in negotiations.

　"doctor!"

　Nagashima Koki exclaimed and rushed over to pull the doctor over, while the mermaid monster released sharp water arrows that flew towards the sweeping branches.

　Of course, none of this matters.

　Ah, I'm sorry, this kind of statement might be easily misunderstood. To put it more ambiguously, these are all "unnecessary" attacks.

　because……

　The flow will be both forward and reverse.

　……

　Under everyone's watchful eyes, the sweeping branches moved slower and slower in mid-air, gradually approaching the doctor.

　Then, as the doctor scrambled to hide behind the BOSS, the branches froze, suspended in mid-air, completely still.

　"Eh?"

　Nagashima Koki made a questioning sound, blinking as she looked at the BOSS lazily scratching his messy hair.

　This is the power of the BOSS, it's amazing.

　Then, as Nagashima Koki was thinking this, the branches moved again... from stillness to motion.

　But it's not forward, it's backward.

　In just a few seconds, this "reverse force" turned into ten or even nine times the original force of the opponent's approach!

　Just like when it takes down a boss's Shinra Tensei, it moves incredibly fast.

　It was "bounced" back, and the branches were instantly torn to pieces.

　"Click——"

　"..." In an instant, the emerald green, torn strips of paper and leaves fluttered and danced in the air...

　Then, due to the new repulsive force that followed, it flew out in all directions around the room with a crackling sound, without touching the Three Thousand Flows of the Current and the Reverse in the slightest.

　Powerful, incredibly powerful.

　Even if you simply treat the forward and reverse spells as a Shinra Tensei with no cooldown, it would be enough to dominate in a certain version.

　Moreover, the upper limit of what is considered "forward" and "backward" is not limited to this.

　So, Nagashima Koki immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! So the otaku boss is actually this good at fighting?"

　Nagashima Nozomi, living in the mortal world, was unaware of...

　In groups of eccentric individuals, the higher the rank, the more powerful they are... although there are exceptions sometimes, but the leader is definitely not weak.

　Upon hearing the term "deadbeat otaku girl," the BOSS's eyes widened immediately, looking like he was about to explode... though the BOSS didn't actually do that.

　"A homebody is a homebody, why do you have to call her a deadbeat homebody... Nagashima Koki! Don't expect me to help you with your homework today!"

　Nagashima Koki: "Huh?!"

　Amidst Xiaoxi's exclamation, the branches that had been struggling frantically due to their broken twigs finally went completely mad.

　It suddenly attacked in the direction of [the murderer/BOSS = Sang].

　Eeyore!!!

　In response, the BOSS casually placed his left hand in the front pocket of his hoodie and gently stretched his right hand forward.

　The flow of fortune and adversity turns once more.

　"boom!!!!"

　The burst of wind pressure emanated from the BOSS, blasting everything present, except for those on their own side, away...

　The violent repulsive force, as the prototype of the Crimson [Crimson Activation Technique: Nova], now manifests the power belonging to the BOSS.

　Whether it was branches or shards of glass scattered all over the ground, everything flew backwards in that instant.

　The glass shards also turned into even finer powder.

　After the smoke and dust stirred up by the wind dissipated, everyone saw the BOSS reaching out and pinching a branch that had been deliberately left behind.

　What is this doing?

　Most people looked puzzled.

　"Cough cough..."

　The doctor waved away the dust, rubbing her nose, and gave a simple introduction: "Do you know what van der Waals is?"

　Nagashima Koki: "???"

　Mermaid and Janna sisters: "???"

　doctor:"……"

　The doctor realized how foolish the question was... there was no point in asking, because the children certainly didn't know.

　But perhaps we don't need to know.

　"Nice to meet you, I am the Three Thousand Streams of the Current... Mr. Tree, at this moment, I will take your life, Sayonara!"

　As she said this, Shunni Sanqianliu gently closed her eyes, practicing the "weight of life" in her heart, and then simply pinched her cheek.

　Suddenly, the forces that make up the branches of the "tree," those forces that are intertwined at the microscopic level, are instantly reversed.

　What is constructed is the opposite of "collapse"—

　"Pfft! Spray!!!!"

　In an instant, the entire tree seemed to be shaken, and in the moment of trembling, it turned into countless fine, almost invisible specks of dust.

　Then, in less than half a second, it vanished into thin air.

　If it weren't for the shards of glass still remaining, no one would know that this tree once existed in this world.

　This is……

　An explosion erupted and scattered!

　Chapter 567 The Path of the King: Bubble Bath

　"Hello, to make a long story short... I'm here to buy the 'technique' from your barbecue restaurant."

　Erin Grenouille spoke to the somewhat overweight owner of the "Volcano BBQ" restaurant sitting opposite her.

　The boss immediately showed a look of refusal.

　"Hmm? Little girl, who sent you here on their behalf?"

　The owner of the "Volcano Barbecue Restaurant" was a bit chubby and clearly didn't take Eileen's explanation very seriously.

　The boss shook his head, refusing bluntly: "Technology... is the key to our continued success."

　“This kind of thing can’t be sold to others so easily… This store is my everything, I can’t possibly cultivate a competitor.”

　What the other person said made a lot of sense. After listening, Eileen remained calm and nodded. "I won't open it locally... I'll go to Japan, or I can open a franchise store."

　Is it a franchise store?

　Thinking this, the boss still shook his head and said in denial, "That's even more impossible. Volcano BBQ must use local meat. If you open a branch in Asia, wouldn't that just ruin my own reputation?"

　"..." The resistance in his expression became even more obvious...

　"I know the rules."

　As Erin Grenor said this, she casually picked up the suitcase she was carrying and placed it on the table.

　Then open it directly.

　"Clang-"

　Bundles of US dollars were displayed in front of the boss... just like a gangster deal in a movie.

　"Here is one million US dollars. We wish to purchase your technology related to 'complete leyline heating'."

　Eileen Grenouille began by saying this.

　"..." Boss: "Huh? Heating from spiritual veins? Isn't that for barbecue?"

　Erin Grenouille: "Huh?"

　"..."

　"You should be able to tell that I'm a magical girl... As a magical girl, I can't possibly only need the skill of 'grilling meat'."

　Eileen Grenouille explained, looking at her boss with a strange expression, wondering why he had misunderstood.

　And ultimately, can the technique of grilling meat really be called a "skill"? It's not like it's some kind of internal technique.

　The owner had a lot to say about this, simply stating helplessly, "I run a barbecue restaurant, how could I possibly expect people to come here to buy 'spiritual vein' technology... Besides, spiritual vein heating really just provides heating."

　Although the boss was somewhat tempted by the money, he still spoke first: "A million is possible... after all, it's a lot."

　The boss originally wanted to refuse firmly, but unfortunately the other party offered too much... especially since they wanted some rather useless technology.

　The shop owner didn't raise the price, even though he could tell that this wasn't Erin Grenault's bottom line.

　"But this temperature isn't high enough to kill monsters or anything like that. Even if we wanted to use it for power generation, it wouldn't reach a suitable temperature..."

　That's great, that's exactly what we wanted – non-lethal.

　Otherwise, people might still be at risk of being burned.

　"We know, so are you willing to sell 'Spirit Vein Heating'? Send the relevant technology to this email address, and this million is yours."

　"Okay, I know."

　"..."

　"Pleasant to work with."

　[Doctor: Oh, that's terrible.]

　[Doctor: Cong Yu? Are you there?]

　[Doctor: Tsk—]

　[Cong Yu: ?]

　[Cong Yu: I was eating just now, what's wrong?]

　[Doctor: (#Angry)]
