Take It Up With My Rider Kick.
“Little kitty!
How much longer do you plan on stalling?” Sarah’s expression burned with fury.
She desperately wanted to act, but damn it — why were Victoria Housekeeping and PubSec here?!
“What is the meaning of this, PubSec?
Suddenly interfering in a public works project that all of New Eridu has its eyes on seems rather unwise.” Sarah’s expression was dark and overcast.
“We received a report from a concerned citizen that there may still be residents at Canvas Street who haven’t been evacuated in time.” Zhu Yuan stood at the very front, her expression icy and laced with anger.
Just then, the Dead End Hollow in the distance began collapsing, shrinking inward and gradually contracting.
“Oh?
Then I’m afraid that was no concerned citizen.
This project concerns TOPS, how could such a thing possibly occur?” Sarah’s expression flickered, almost imperceptibly.
She felt things were spiraling beyond expectation.
She needed to find a way to retreat.
‘That damned Bringer, how could he handle things so poorly?’ Sarah’s heart seethed with rage.
Sarah was still attempting to stall further.
“Vision Industries treats human lives like grass!
Feeding on blood-stained profits!” “Down with Vision Industries!” “Vision Industries treats human lives like grass!” A group of residents emerged from the now-shrunken Hollow.
Following them, a Belobog Heavy Industries helicopter arrived on the scene, bringing a contingent of reporters.
“Move in!
Arrest them all!” Zhu Yuan, seeing the evidence was now irrefutable, declared the arrests on the spot.
Buyuan, meanwhile, had set Ellen down in a seat on the Belobog helicopter and quietly slipped away from the main group.
“Hmph!
You think you can catch me?” Sarah prepared to leave directly.
Just as she said, ordinary PubSec officers couldn’t take her down.
Lycaon and the others, constrained by factional concerns, found it inconvenient to act against her — to the point that they hadn’t even appeared before the reporters.
“You’re not wrong.” An abrupt voice drew everyone’s attention.
“Lapdog of the Order.
They really aren’t in a position to act.
But!
I have no such reservations!
Your retaliation means nothing to me.” A cold voice rang out from behind Sarah.
“RIDER KICK!” A crimson figure plummeted from the sky at terrifying speed.
Frightening flames spread from the tip of its foot.
Just as Buyuan was about to strike Sarah, he saw a deep blue symbol — similar to the one in Phaethon’s eyes, yet distinctly different — flash within Sarah’s eyes.
“May!
The Creator!
Remold me!” Sarah’s voice was manic.
With the explosion, her figure simply vanished into thin air.
“Kabuto!” Only Sarah’s enraged voice remained.
Her figure was nowhere to be seen.
Buyuan’s brow furrowed deeply.
‘These bastards are even harder to kill than cockroaches!’ Seeing the reporters about to swarm him, Buyuan promptly fled the scene.
Reappearing, having released his transformation, with Ellen on his back, Buyuan quietly slipped back into the group.
“Buyuan, you just went straight for the kick!” Belle clearly hadn’t expected Buyuan to be so decisive.
“Hmph.
So what?
She still got away.” Buyuan snorted in displeasure.
“Got away?!
She could still vanish without a trace in that situation?!” Belle clearly couldn’t fathom anyone escaping an attack like that.
“Members of the Order already command special powers.
It’s not impossible that she escaped Mr.
Mo’s attack.” Lycaon approached from behind the group.
“Thank you for looking after our Ellen.
Rina and I still have matters to attend to.
We’ll trouble Mr.
Mo to look after her a while longer.” Rina drifted over as well, her expression gentle as water.
“Corin, will you be coming with us?” Rina looked at Corin, who was following beside Buyuan, and asked.
“Uh, C-Corin will stay with Miss Ellen a little longer.” Corin shyly lowered her head.
“Hehe.
Then little Corin will have to trouble Mr.
Mo as well.” After speaking, Rina left with Lycaon, disappearing to who-knew-where.
“Alright, we can leave now too.
Nekomata’s got the Cunning Hares looking after her.
Belle, you stay and help the Cunning Hares wrap things up.
I’ll take Ellen back to rest first.” Buyuan asked Belle to stay and assist the Cunning Hares with the aftermath.
“Yeah, no problem.” Belle didn’t refuse.
Ellen really did need proper rest right now.
“Oh right, I’m taking the car.
When you’re done, have Qingyi give you a ride.
Tell her I said so.” Without looking back, Buyuan left first with Corin.
After laying Ellen down across the back seat, Buyuan had Corin sit in the passenger seat.
Perhaps out of consideration for the sleeping Ellen, Buyuan and Corin didn’t converse much.
After parking the car in the video store garage, Buyuan carried Ellen on his back and led Corin home.
Once Ellen was settled in, Buyuan exited the bedroom and sat on the couch.
“Corin, want something to eat?” Buyuan pulled snacks out of the drawer and set them on the coffee table.
“N-No need!” Corin hastily stood up, then looked around for something to do.
“What’s this?
I recall I only commissioned Ellen.
If little Corin’s included too, I won’t be able to afford the commission fee.” Buyuan teased the little maid, who looked ready to start working.
“Mr.
Mo jests…” Corin couldn’t find anything to do.
She couldn’t just leave, but standing there felt wrong too.
So she stood in place, head lowered, clutching her skirt.
“Sit down first.
I’m not your employer.
Ellen actually came this time in a personal capacity as well.
Just call me Buyuan.
Or if you must, Big Brother Mo works too.” Buyuan was like a shady uncle luring a little loli.
The only difference was that he was handsome.
“Mr.
Mo…
p-please don’t tease Corin.” Corin was too shy to lift her head.
“You won’t even spare a minor!” At that moment, a Bangboo came flying like a guided missile, striking Buyuan square in the abdomen.
“Cough, cough!
Baal!
Are you trying to kill me with that force?!” Buyuan doubled over, bracing himself against the couch.
“I told her to call me Big Brother Mo.
That’s clearly not what you’re thinking.” Buyuan speechlessly reached out and tapped Makoto’s head.
“Mr.
Mo…
are you alright?” Corin hurried over in concern to check on Buyuan.
“I’m fine.
This is my Bangboo, you can call her Baal.” Buyuan waved a hand at Corin to show he was unharmed.
“Baal, prepare dinner for three tonight, and let Corin be your kitchen hand.
Otherwise, she’ll just feel awkward standing around.” Buyuan slumped back onto the couch in defeat.
“Alright then, come with me, Corin.
What would you like to eat tonight?
Let’s prepare ahead of time.” At that moment, Corin was a bit dazed.
This Bangboo had such a strong personality — like a big sister.
Even Mr.
Mo’s Bangboo was this special.
“Since she came clean, how has this girl become so cheeky?
I knew Yae Miko’s smugness came from somewhere.
Turns out she learned it from her.” Buyuan naturally knew Makoto just wanted an excuse to whack him.
Buyuan picked up his phone, planning to see how everyone else was handling things.
Without checking, he wouldn’t have known — his friends list, save for Ellen, had all sent him messages.
Miyabi: Received word that you eliminated a notorious Ethereal in the Dead End Hollow?
Buyuan: Yep.
You probably know about the Vision situation by now.
Miyabi: Mm.
Want to train together?
Just as Buyuan was about to ask what kind of training, he saw Yanagi had messaged him again.
Ten minutes ago.
Yanagi: We owe you a great deal this time.
Didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
Next time something like this happens, you can have the chief come with you.
Just now.
Yanagi: Do not agree!
The chief still hasn’t finished writing the detailed report from yesterday’s Hollow Zero operation!
Buyuan: (.-ω-） Buyuan: Got it.
Buyuan tactfully declined Miyabi’s invitation.
Surprisingly, Miyabi actually knew it was Yanagi who’d made him refuse.
Miyabi: I’m standing right behind her watching.
Buyuan: You guys really are something.
He glanced at the other messages.
The Cunning Hares’ messages were about how they were having an internal dinner party tonight so there was no need to invite them over.
Nekomata had joined the Cunning Hares, and they were holding a welcome gathering.
Anby, however, had specifically messaged him privately, saying she wanted burgers and hoped he could make a few for her to pick up.
After giving an affirmative reply, only Qingyi and the daily-refreshing Chaotic Fried Rice were left.
Buyuan thought it over and figured he should chat with Astra Yao first.
Otherwise, that girl would probably go off and get busy again.
He’d long since handed his video account over to Ellen to manage.
He’d never paid any attention to it himself.
Chaotic Fried Rice: This one was so good too!
It feels so story-rich.
How did you write this?
The video style this time feels different from the last one.
(Voice message) 40 seconds Buyuan was a bit surprised.
Astra had actually sent a voice message.
The moment he opened it, he heard a softly hummed melody.
The tune was Wind Drives the Rain.
The voice was gentle, yet seemed to carry a distinct liveliness.
Chaotic Fried Rice: I can’t capture that kind of emotion you have.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t experienced it yet?
I really want to sing your songs too, but I’m not suited for them.
Buyuan: Your voice is lovely.
Next time, I’ll pick a song that fits you.
Buyuan waited a bit.
Seeing no reply, he didn’t keep waiting.
He glanced at Qingyi’s messages.
Qingyi: Owed you big time this operation.
Another favor on the books.
Buyuan: ?
I’ll tally it with the last one for now.
So if I’m owed one more, can I combine them into a two-star favor?
Qingyi: [Auto-reply] Busy.
Do not disturb.
Buyuan: lol.
Buyuan tossed his phone aside and yawned.
This operation had taken quite a toll on him too.
Finding a comfortable spot, Buyuan hugged his tail and dozed off on the couch for a bit.
Comment it and let me know.
