I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"It's okay, I saved you. That scumbag will never threaten you to steal again..."

"do not come!!!"

Her scream, which was almost tearing her throat, echoed in the empty room. Cheng Rang's open mouth felt like it was stuck in his throat, and he could no longer utter a single word.

The girl is looking at her now, as if she is staring at the most terrifying thing——

monster.

Cheng Rang was suddenly shouted back half a step. When he tried his best to comfort the girl in front of him with a smile, she screamed loudly as if she had seen the most terrifying scene reappear.

The girl curled up her toes in fear, inserted her fingers into her armpits, and huddled up tightly. Her lips trembled wildly, and her little face with tears stained her face kept shaking her head from side to side.

"No! Don't...! You little beast has never stolen money before.

Other things...except this money grab! The little beast didn't lie, he really didn't lie! "

Cheng Rang looked in disbelief and asked, "Do you think I would do the same thing to you?"

The girl kept choking and shaking her head, but suddenly her eyes caught sight of the blue crystal powder that was thrown to the ground and mixed with dried blood and minced meat.

The man who imprisoned her was no longer there, and the desire from her soul made the girl seem to have forgotten everything and wanted to reach out to the bag of blue powder.

"Ahh...uhhh...medicine!"

"Can't!"

The girl's extended hand suddenly paused, and her vision began to struggle, swinging between fear of the person in front of her and desire for the drug.

But she didn't struggle for long before she threw herself at the medicine on the ground without hesitation.

That intense desire that made her feel like thousands of ants crawling over her even helped her overcome all her fears.

Cheng Rang's attempt to stop was blocked by the beast-like growl from the throat of the girl who was biting the plastic bag. He watched helplessly as the girl put the entire bag of medicine into her mouth with her hands and devoured it.

"Woo-ho... Hee hee, hee hee hee haha..."

At that moment, Cheng Rang stood there like a statue.

At that moment, he finally realized that this world was not absurd at all, not even the slightest bit absurd.

because.....

There is no absurdity in a world that is broken.

Cheng Rang's fists were tightly clenched, and his knuckles turned white and cracked.

"This broken world...should..."

"This is Lina...a sight that even in her dreams can't be dreamed of..."

"Lina, I feel happy."

"Don't worry, Lina... As long as I'm here, you can feel the same happiness as you do now every day after this."

"....Really?"

【police....】

The system's last warning ended abruptly, and Lina's eyes full of expectation and happiness seemed to be staring at her.

"I believe it," she said.

Cheng Rang held the long knife at his waist, and the familiar feeling seemed to bring the remaining warmth to his cold body.

——Original intention.

Chapter 26 Painting the world with colors

Cheng Rang strode towards the girl lying on the ground and pulled her up while she struggled.

The low roar of pleasure and fear in her throat stopped the moment Cheng Rang raised his hand to cover his eyes——

"....Avalon...."

The bright golden light like the rising sun pierced the window of this abandoned building, and then a black shadow broke through the wind barrier at an unimaginable speed and shot out at extremely high speed.

Tokyo area, outer 39th ward.

The cast-iron manhole cover was knocked rhythmically. When a sheltered child of the curse lifted the manhole cover, he could only find another unseen child who had fainted in front of him.

She looked around and saw no one else, so she quickly pulled the fainted girl in, ran towards the depths, and shouted: "Elder...!"

Cheng Rang then walked out of the ruins nearby.

"It turns out that not all children are called Grandpa Matsuzaki..."

After digging into his pockets, there was only more than two thousand yen left. Cheng Rang looked up at the clear sky and murmured: "The ice cream I brought for Lina... won't melt?"

"That's very expensive."

With the rustling sound caused by the wind and sand, there was no one left beside the ruins.

...

The crowds and police cars watching the robbery on the road had already dispersed, leaving only Rentaro and Enzhu, who were still waiting there with ice cream.

"That guy won't just walk away like this, right?" Rentaro glanced at the bag in his hand with some pain, "This is very expensive..."

"You are really still waiting here. I thought I wouldn't be able to find anyone." Cheng Rang's voice came from behind without anyone noticing, startling Rentaro.

"Oh~ don't appear behind people so suddenly!"

Looking back, Cheng Rang was waving to him with a smile. Rentaro complained softly and handed over the ice cream in his hand.

"Here, you'll melt if you come later."

"Sorry sorry~~Haha!"

When Cheng Rang was checking the temperature of the ice pack, Rentaro asked from the side: "So, where is the child? Have you caught him?"

"Oh, the alleys here are too complicated. If I don't pay attention, she won't know where to go -"

Rentaro listened to Cheng Rang's clumsy lies, but did not expose them. He nodded and said: "Yes, there is nothing we can do about it."

"Then what's the reason? Have you found out?" Rentaro asked coldly afterwards.

Cheng Rang's smile faltered and he couldn't help but curse:

This kid... is really smart - is it possible?

Is it the protagonist?

"Ah um... I checked it out."

"That's good."

Only Yanzhu tilted his head and blinked, unable to figure out what riddle the two were playing.

"Rentaro, there is a special offer in the supermarket. If you don't go there, you will be late." So Yanzhu could only remind him this.

"Ugh! I remembered it! If I don't get it today, I'm going to be hungry!"

The two of them ran quickly. On the way, Rentaro did not forget to wave to Cheng Rang and said: "Thank you for treating Yanzhu to the ice cream. The wait just now is regarded as even, bye-!"

Watching the two people leave, Cheng Rang couldn't help but smile bitterly and scratched his head.

If you can't catch up, you will be hungry today. Even so, have you waited for so long?

"Isn't that kid stupid?" He couldn't help but make such a comment, but the two of them did leave a deep impression on Cheng Rang.

Rentaro Satomi, Enju Aihara.

"I remember."

Cheng Rang touched the little money left in his pocket, suddenly remembered something, stopped mumbling to himself, and immediately followed him.

He waved his hand and shouted: "Hey! Wait! What are the specials in the supermarket today?"

————————————————

When Shinoda walked in the door again with a look of despair after get off work, the sound of the kitchen range hood and the aroma of food wafting into her nose made her twitch her lips.

Cheng Rang, wearing his own pink apron, stood in front of him again, holding a spoon and smiling: "Welcome back~"

"I knew it..." Shinoda held his forehead and sighed as if he was admitting defeat.

After putting on slippers and walking into the house, another small figure also climbed up from in front of the TV, threw it into his arms, and shouted intimately: "Welcome back, Aunt Shinoda~"

So what's going on in this situation that seems like a warm family?

Obviously I had this hunch when I met my neighbor’s mother-in-law downstairs——

"He Zuo, congratulations~" The neighbor's mother-in-law congratulated herself with a smile that all women would understand.

"Huh? Congratulations for what?"

.......

Facing a table with four dishes and one soup basically made of rapeseed and potatoes, Shinoda looked up at Cheng Rang and raised his brows slightly, as if asking.

"Supermarket specials," he replied with a smile.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Lina on the side is concentrating on cooking. Seeing how delicious she is eating, it must taste good.

Shinoda sighed again. She could not connect the man in front of her with a professional spy who entered and exited important facilities without even noticing.

After taking a final taste, Shinoda could only say to him: "If you don't have enough money, ask me for it. Lina is just growing up, so she can't eat so much."

"Okay Miss Shinoda, no problem Miss Shinoda."

"Just call me He Kan..." Shinoda glanced at Cheng Rang who was sitting at the dining table and smiled, and quickly picked up a mouthful of food and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's delicious."

"Thanks for the compliment."

After dinner, Shinoda was sitting on the sofa watching the evening news. He even recalled the time when he faced an empty home alone after get off work...

"I want to watch cartoons——"

"You've been watching at home all day...Lina."

Cheng Rang, who was talking to Lina sitting in his arms like he was raising a baby, had a troubled expression on his face, which made Shinoda couldn't help but smile.

In comparison, this situation seems to be more lively.

Can we still pass three days...I feel like it's a bit short.

Just when Shinoda was in a daze, the news on TV attracted his attention.

[This afternoon... the police received an unknown black package, which turned out to be a criminal suspect who came to surrender. A recording as evidence was included with the black package, which was recorded and confessed by the suspect himself... But it is a pity that the suspect sent has fallen into a state of mental breakdown and cannot take care of himself... It is speculated that it may be related to his inexplicable disappearance of limbs——]

Photos and live videos with thick mosaics were being played behind the host, making Shinoda's eyes widen.

"Although he is a criminal... but it is too... cruel..." She narrowed her eyes in disgust, picked up the remote control and switched the channel, "The security situation seems to be getting worse recently. , I heard that there was a robbery not far from here, and the police were seriously injured and sent to the hospital..."

Shinoda noticed that Cheng Rang beside him suddenly fell silent, and the smile on his face disappeared, so he stopped talking.

"Cheng, are you okay?"

"Ah, oh, I'm fine... I'm just in a daze." He put on a forced smile again and scratched his hair stupidly.

Shinoda shook the remote control in his hand in a joking tone, "You look so distracted, could it be that you did it?"

"Well, I did it." Cheng Rang nodded and admitted.

Unexpectedly, Shinoda was stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered his mouth and started laughing, his whole body shaking with laughter.

She slapped Cheng Rang hard on the shoulder: "How can you tell such a joke in a serious manner?"

"Hey, so I really did it."

"Hahahaha!" Shinoda laughed even harder.
