What the-

An ordinary, girly question, if you will.

But when a question that he had unconsciously thought he would never hear from Erio came up, Do Yu-jin opened his mouth like an idiot, unable to say anything.

After a little while, Do Yu-jin asked in a stammering voice.

“Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“That’s what Eugene said a little while ago.”

“What did I say a little while ago… … ”

-I’m just a guy like you guys, so I don’t plan on getting that angry just because I saw a pretty girl on the street and started talking to her.

‘… … did you do it?’

Do Yu-jin, who realized belatedly what she had said unconsciously, looked like she had been hit on the back of the head with a small hammer.

And when I lowered my head like that, Erio had his usual expressionless face.

Sparkling-

But strangely enough, only his eyes were looking at him with a bright sparkle.

‘Isn’t it too much to just let it go?’

Do Yu-jin instinctively realized this fact and thought about it for a moment before deciding to just answer honestly.

“Oh, it’s so pretty.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really.”

This was Do Yu-jin’s honest impression, without a single hint of falsehood.

Her water-colored hair, which looks like a flowing river, gently sways and captivates those who see it.

The dense facial features and loosely drawn eyes within the small face create a mysterious yet dreamy atmosphere that captures the attention of those who see them.

Her eyes were half-closed as if she was sleepy, perhaps out of a strange habit she had developed over a long period of time, but when the sky blue color reminiscent of a clear jewel was added to it, a unique atmosphere was created.

‘The skin there is as soft and white as rice cake. It also stretches well.’

Do Yu-jin thought about something else for a moment, then regained control of her train of thought.

Well, there was a lot more I could have said, but… … that was the gist of it.

Erio was a beautiful girl.

She is not an ordinary pretty girl, but a pretty girl with a shocking beauty that makes even the hazy atmosphere she unconsciously gives off because she is sleepy become one of her charms.

‘Why else would those guys stick to me even though my face is blurred as a special feature?’

Was Do Yu-jin’s true feelings conveyed?

“Really?”

Erio said that in a slightly cold voice and looked out the window.

But her appearance, watching the train run like that, was the same as usual.

Swish-

Her back leaning deeper against Do Yu-jin’s chest than usual and her two feet swinging in the air showed a different side of her than usual, telling her that she was in the best mood right now.

In front of the train station, there is a place where numerous colorful motorcycles are lined up like statues.

“Captain~”

Among the men with fierce expressions who had gathered there and were passing the time, a man with long hair shouted while waving his device.

“I got a call from one of the guys who was coming by train because his bike broke down… … It looks like they got knocked out by some unknown guy?”

“What?”

The regent-haired man wearing a modified gakuran, commonly called a special forces uniform, frowned deeply and shouted at the long-haired man’s words.

“Did some arrogant guy declare war on us, the ‘Red Tail’?”

“Well? I was curious about that too, so I tried to wake up the passed out guy by hitting him in the face, but I guess he still hasn’t contacted me, so I guess he hasn’t figured it out yet.”

While they were talking, the long-haired man’s device vibrated slightly.

The long-haired man who saw him shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Well, I got a call again… … It looks like he passed out completely and it’s hard to wake him up.”

“Tsk! Just because you passed out, you can sleep soundly. Anyway, those guys, they’re newbies, so why are they getting involved… … ”

“Well, calm down. He must have thought it through, because he grabbed the people on the train and figured out the situation. And according to what they said… … ”

Shhh-

“I think they’re after us, right?”

The men with fierce expressions who were each passing their time turned their heads at the same time at the words of the long-haired man.

The regent-haired man said, gesturing to him.

“Then did you find out who the culprit is and which team he is from?”

“No, but I figured out what they looked like… … It looks like the culprit is a stunningly pretty girl with long blue hair and a guy with a hazy impression?”

“Huh? Were there any guys like that around here?”

“Not that I know of. But given the timing, it wouldn’t be strange if guys from other teams recruited mercenaries without our knowledge, right?”

“That’s true… …That’s true.”

The man with the regent’s hair nodded with a serious face, looked around, and shouted loudly.

“Hey! Kids! I don’t know who it is, but it looks like the youngest guy who just joined our team got attacked by some unknown guy!”

Woohoo-!

At his words, the men gathered there rose from their seats and cheered.

Then they began to respond in their own ways, such as clenching their fists or stamping hard on the floor.

“They’re probably guys sent to us by another team for provocation purposes. Of course, given the current situation… … ”

Boom-!

“Since you’ve provoked us like this! Wouldn’t it be polite for us to throw a punch back at you as well!”

At those words, each member of Red Tail’s team climbed onto their bikes and immediately started their engines.

And then, just as I was about to run off somewhere.

“Hey, hey! Everyone, wait a minute!”

A long-haired man stopped them.

“Where are you guys going now?”

“Huh? I’m going to find the guy the captain mentioned… … ”

“So where are you going to find that guy?”

When the men who heard that became dumbfounded, the long-haired man sighed in disappointment and said.

“The place where those guys were attacked was inside the train, so instead of scattering, we should wait here and watch to see whether or not they come out of the station.”

“Ah… … ”

Everyone let out a small exclamation in the calm atmosphere as if cold water had been poured over the long-haired man’s words.

“But don’t get off the motorcycle. You might not get off at this station, so some of you should go to the next station first… … ”

That was when.

“Huh?”

One of them let out a small exclamation and pointed towards the train station.

“Arrived.”

“Then let’s summon Yunabot first. I told her to rest for now, but with her personality, she might come flying over by flapping her wings.”

“… … Can’t you wait a little longer?”

There was a beautiful girl with long blue hair and a man with a vague impression carrying the beautiful girl.

They were momentarily captivated by Erio’s cute appearance and blankly watched the two walking together before coming to their senses and looking at the long-haired man like hunting dogs waiting for a signal.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you catching it?”

And once permission was granted.

Booo-!

They immediately started the motorcycle they were riding and raced away.

◎ ◎ ◎

‘what?’

Do Yu-jin, who was looking for a bus stop, tilted her head when she suddenly saw a huge number of motorcycles surrounding them.

While I was so confused, a large Regent man strode out and growled at me.

“Is that you? The guy who killed our team’s youngest member?”

The youngest of the team?

Oh, are you talking about the guys we bumped into on the train a little while ago?

By the way, from what you’re saying, it seems like you’re seriously misunderstanding something.

“That’s… … ”

“You little brat, which team ordered you to attack us!”

“Uh… …I don’t know what you’re saying? We just responded because he started the fight first… … ”

“Huh?”

The man with the regent’s hair stopped talking and opened his eyes wide at Do Yu-jin’s words.

Looking at him, Do Yu-jin quietly explained what had happened to her.

Honestly, Do Yu-jin didn’t think they would believe her words.

Groan groan-

“If it’s definitely that guy… … ”

“That girl is so pretty… … ”

“Because he’s a guy who’s crazy about women… … ”

“Listening to you, it seems like that might be the case… … ”

But life is something you don’t know until you try it.

When Do Yu-jin was so surprised.

“Eeee! Quiet!”

The man with the regent’s hair shouted loudly, noticing that the atmosphere was flowing strangely.

“You might be right, but we can’t trust you! So, you’ll have to stay with us for a little while until those guys come back.”

“No, we have a schedule too, so that might be a little difficult… … ”

“Then there’s nothing I can do!”

After hearing that, Do Yu-jin once again hoped that things would work out well.

Kuung-!

As expected, things didn’t work out that easily the second time.

“The world of superhumans is a world of survival of the fittest, governed by the law of force! So if you want to prove your innocence! Fair and square! I am the leader of Red Tail! Try to defeat Tagame with force!”

“… … How can I reach that conclusion?”

Do Yu-jin was suspicious, but it wasn’t actually a bad suggestion.

No, rather, I could say that it was a very tolerable suggestion.

That would be the case… …

“I’d like to ask you to do it in a more peaceful way than before.”

Because right now, there was a monster that defied common sense next to Do Yu-jin.

“Yeah, just trust me.”

“Huh? You really think you’re putting this little guy up as my opponent right now… … ”

Dismissal-

“Huh?”

Is this what it means to be a leader?

As Erio began to draw out his magical power, Tagame stopped talking and quickly used all his might to defend his entire body.

Well, that didn’t make any difference though.

“Tingle.”

Phage crackle-!

As Erio cutely wiggled his fingers, a huge bolt of lightning struck Tagame.

An overwhelming difference in power that takes away even the will to resist.

Oh my gosh-

The Red Tail team members who saw him were frozen in place and could do nothing, just staring blankly with their mouths open until they were swept away by the aftermath of the fight and passed out.
