“My, what on earth am I looking at?”

Becky Street, who had been planning to kidnap Stay just a few hours ago, was so shocked by the scene unfolding in front of her that she completely forgot about the plan.

The person who overshadowed the steadfastness she had honed while overcoming numerous crises was Stay, who thought she could be kidnapped as easily as eating a cake.

To be precise, Becky Street was very shocked by what Stay was doing.

“Dain Adamas…that monster. We neutralized the strongest awakened person in human history…?”

Becky Street was able to control the shadows within her perception through her ability ‘Shadow Empress’, so she could feel what was happening in the cafe warehouse as vividly as if she was seeing it right in front of her eyes.

“Ma, that’s ridiculous. There’s no way something like this is possible.”

The scene seen through the shadows, in which Stay struck Dain Adamas’ lower abdomen with his fist and subdued him in one fell swoop, was so absurd that Becky Street could not believe her own eyes or abilities, even though she had seen it in person.

“In one room…”

However, even if you cannot believe it, the situation inside the warehouse as detected through your abilities has not changed.

Stay was standing and Dain Adamas was lying on the floor.

No matter how much Becky Street doubted herself, it was Stay who stood and she had no choice but to admit it.

“That Dain Adamas… was defeated with one blow. That man named Stay…?”

That Stay is a person who goes far beyond one’s expectations.

But surprisingly, Becky Street’s surprise didn’t end there.

“······Huh? They are May Ruina and Mir Ryuin. Now that I think about it, I heard there was some kind of press conference being held today. Is that what you came to do?”

Mir Ryuin and May Ruina, in the guise of Nir and Merry, arrived in front of Stay, who came out after leaving Dain Adamas, who had fainted in defeat after being hit in the stomach, in the warehouse.

“Huh? Dain Adamas has woken up?”

While the two and Stay were chatting amicably, Dain Adamas, who had passed out in the warehouse, came to his senses and stood up.

[Ugh, uhuh… S, stay? Uh, where did you go? Stay.······. ah! It’s outside! But you’re not alone, are you? Who… Wait, what is this?]

Dain Adamas, who woke up, kept calling Stay’s name like a child who had a nightmare, but after coming to his senses and understanding the situation outside, his expression wrinkled as if he was irritated.

[······Crack.]

After gritting my teeth in frustration, I grabbed the doorknob of the warehouse.

Bang bang! Kwajangchangchang!

He appeared outside by blowing down the warehouse door.

And from then on.

“Uh, huh? Did you reveal your identity? After all, wasn’t Dain Adamas part of the same gang as those two?”

Dain Adamas reveals the identities of the two people disguised as Nir and Mary in front of Stay.

“Ma, did you break the spell too? You can crush Mir Ryuin’s magic with just a wave of your hand. Dain Adamas is a truly unbelievable monster… But that means that Stay knocked out such a monster with just a single punch to its lower abdomen. What on earth are you doing?”

Dain Adamas easily broke the transformation spell that Mir Ryuin cast on himself and May Ruina, revealing their identities.

[after.]

“······Ugh.”

Stay’s short, deep sigh that made even Becky Street, hidden in the shadows of the back alley across from the cafe, feel chills, drowning out all sounds inside the cafe.

[Fuck.]

“What, what are you staying?!”

Eventually, as if the previous deep sigh was nothing, a sincere curse came out of Stay’s mouth, and Becky Street was even more shocked than when she had just seen Dain Adamas faint in real time.

“Yo, did you swear? In front of the three of us, there was only an F-class awakened person… and he had the same amount of mana as an ordinary person?!”

Those three people, to be exact, even Becky Street, who was on the opposite side of the association, didn’t have the courage to swear at them there.

In a head-to-head fight, he could somehow cover Mei Ruina, and if the goal was to assassinate him, he could barely manage to reach Mir Ruin even if he had to twist his entire body, but that was all.

Doing something like that with three people gathered in one place like that, even if they brought in a crack master from an EX-level gate, was an act of madness that would only amount to suicide.

But to think that an F-class person would do something that was almost suicidal.

“No matter how much you just achieved the ridiculous feat of knocking out Dain Adamas with a single punch, you shouldn’t do that unless you really want to die…”

[Everyone turn off. Because it sucks.]

“Heee?!!!”

Before anyone could be surprised by Stay’s crazy behavior, his explosive remark was enough to make Becky Street, who was just an observer, scream in fear.

But unfortunately for Becky Street, her surprises didn’t end there.

“What, what?! Now, wait a minute. Even though they did something like that… the ones who are clinging to them are Mei Ruina and Mir Ryuin?”

It was clear that Stay was the one who cursed, but the ones who were restless and shaking were May Ruina and Mir Ryuin.

Of course, it’s natural for those on the receiving end to be angry when they do something like that while hiding their identity, and it’s not at all unusual for swear words to come out, but the line-up of people standing in the cafe wasn’t common sense to expect such a common sense reaction.

Therefore, Becky Street began to become more and more interested in a person named Stay, who completely defeated the three of her archenemies with just a light punch and a few angry words.

“Dain Adamas, who came back… I just kicked him out…”

And that interest reached its peak when Stay completely repulsed Dain Adamas, who had come back into the cafe without realizing it, asking if he had done anything wrong, with an extremely logical expression of anger.

“I wanted to meet you in person… I wanted to talk.”

So Becky Street decided to meet Stay.

It was at that point that the three S-class people were blaming each other in the back alley across from the block where the cafe was located.

※

“Huuu······ Ugh. Even though I spent so much time on it, I’m still nervous.”

A week has passed since I thought about wanting to meet Stay and decided to meet him.

All I did for a week was think about how I could make a good first impression on him and how I could avoid offending him.

If the people in the back world found out that I, the empress of the back world, was so nervous just because I was going to meet an F-class awakened person, they might immediately stage a coup, but fortunately, I was the only one here right now and I couldn’t help but feel the tension I was feeling right now. I wasn’t feeling ashamed at all.

“Well, it’s natural to be nervous when you’re going to meet a man who destroyed those three so easily. Um.”

Because the man named Stay was the only person in the world who could neutralize those three, the three strongest and greatest heroes in the world.

I felt that his strength and mana were no different from that of an ordinary person, but he could have something beyond my ability to detect, and the ridiculous feats he showed a week ago showed that there was a very high probability that he had something transcendent. told me that

“Still. let’s go. I can’t waste any more time.”

That’s why I couldn’t help but be nervous, and I opened the door to the cafe in front of me, ‘Stay this place’, with as much excitement as my nervousness.

The goal is ‘stay’.

Tiriring-.

“······Oh, welcome.”

A special relationship with the only man who can control the three strongest heroes in the world as he wants.

“Hello? Nice to meet you, boss. My name is Becky Street. In the world, she is better known as the Empress of the Underworld. You are the first time I show my bare face to someone else, so consider it an honor.”

Because we have such a special relationship.

“······Yes?”

“I liked you. So now I’m trying to flirt with you. Can I work here?”

I will use Stay to make those three betray the Association.
