Ada's Little Brother!
The astute Ada noticed the change in Code's expression and smiled, "Looks like you've already guessed who my crush is."
Upon hearing this, Code became even more certain of his judgment and hurriedly took dozens of steps back to distance himself from Ada.
Ada was speechless. "Did you have to react so strongly? I'm not good at rough things like fighting. -_-||
Code remained wary. "A woman's heart is like the Seabed; I don't know which of your words are true and which are false."
"In fact, even if I wanted to have a normal relationship with Shinki, I would still help you," Ada said, shrugging.
Code looked puzzled, Ada continued to explain, "You and I both know that Shinki is too strong, too perfect, and he's never short of women..."
"I need to find a way to get his attention... like making him feel frustrated, then I'll comfort him... or maybe I'll kill all the women around him! (▿▿)"
"Gulp~" Old Bagu swallowed hard. Was this what Ada described as "normal love"?
This is absolutely not normal! (≖╻≖;)
Across from him, after listening to Ada's words, Code remained skeptical. "Really?"
Ada shrugged. "You can choose not to believe it, it's up to you. ┐(´-`)┌"
Code lowered his guard, his smile becoming genuine, "I believe you, of course I believe you."
"Then, the cooperation is settled." Ada smiled.
Upon seeing this, both Code and Old Bagu felt a jolt in their hearts! (ꈍᴗꈍ)
"I wasn't lying when I said I wasn't good at fighting," Ada continued. "So, in our collaboration, I'm the eyes and ears, responsible for gathering information."
"And you, Code, you must be my knight, protect me. ∩_∩"
Upon hearing Ada's words, Code was overjoyed and performed a gentlemanly bow. "It is my pleasure to serve Your Highness!"
After thinking about it carefully, he realized what it meant!
So, this unfortunate soul is going to help Princess Ada get close to Prince Shinki?!
He calls himself a knight, but he's really just a simp...
However, I guess my relationship with Ada is one of mutual exploitation; I'd say I'm a top-tier simp!
"Alright, stop standing there." Ada spoke again, looking at Old Bagu beside her. "Lead the way, and release my other knight as well?"
Code felt a little resentful.
What? I'm not even number one simp? T^T
Before Code could speak, Bagu hesitated, "Lady Ada, I can agree to anything else, but that person absolutely cannot be released so easily..."
Ada turned around and met Bagu's gaze.
Bagu wisely refrained from saying anything more and obediently led the way!
Konoha.
Amado is explaining Code's abilities.
"Claw Marks, simply put, are the ribbon-like marks he can create, formed from a mixture of his own Chakra and iron from his blood. He can then use these special Curse Marks to move between different locations..."
"It's similar to the Flying Thunder God, but the Claw Marks isn't Space-Time Ninjutsu; it's a special type of fixed-point marking..."
"That sounds pretty far-fetched," Shinki murmured.
Shikamaru nodded, his gaze towards Amado now filled with wariness. "You've certainly created quite a few strange things over the years."
Mentioning his research achievements, Amado immediately became proud. "Of course, I can be considered a man standing at the pinnacle of Shinobi World technology..."
Suddenly realizing something, Shinki continued, "Someone once gave the White Night Group a high-tech Chakra- blocking device, instructing them to steal my Ninjutsu data... Was that your doing?"
Amado nodded. "Yes, I was involved in the White Night Group's Chakra Concealment Device, the Land of Snow's Chakra Armor, and even the Konoha's Ninjutsu storage device..."
"Lord Hokage, you're not going to punish me because of what happened back then, are you? (≖╻≖;)"
"Lord Hokage, I hope you can understand me. At the time, I was serving the Kara and had no choice..."
Shinki shook his head, indicating that he would not pursue Amado's further responsibility; all he wanted was the truth.
Moreover, the various technologies that Amado promoted also made him a fortune...
"Let bygones be bygones. Now that you've joined Konoha, do your job well for Konoha. ¯_(ツ)_/¯"
Amado nodded. "I will, I'm still relying on Konoha's protection. (｡◝ᴗ◜｡)"
Beside him, Shikamaru glanced at the Shinki, then at Amado...
I have a feeling that both of them are hiding something!
The Land of Snow, the base of the Ōtsutsuki Cult.
Using his insider status, Bagu led Cord and Eda through numerous checkpoints, finally arriving at a secret room with a reinforced iron door!
"Think it over..." Old Bagu wanted to make one last effort.
Beside him, Code's right hand had transformed into a claw!
"Whoa!!"
Claws tore open the iron gate, and the group entered the room.
Although this place is located deep within the base, the room's layout is no different from where Ada sleeps.
Code looked at the huge culture tank in the center of the room, eagerly brandishing his claws, wanting to see what his "love rival" looked like!
"Watch out, Code!" Bagu tried to stop him, but it was too late!
"Sizzle--!"
The sharp claws tore the culture tank apart, spilling the murky culture medium all over the floor!
Unlike when Ada appeared, this culture vessel was completely empty when opened!
Just as Code was about to question Old Bagu, he suddenly felt a weight on his back!
Immediately afterwards, a child's innocent voice rang in my ears. "Sister, is this your new boyfriend? His back is really nice to touch!"
Ada: "Daemon, didn't we agree that you can't just climb on someone else's back..."
Upon hearing this, the child, whom Ada called Daemon, jumped off Code's back and carefully Code: "Sister, your boyfriend looks a bit ordinary!" →_→
Code: "..."
"You little brat, you...(ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ) "
Enraged, Code was about to slap the mute child to death, but before he could raise his hand, Old Bagu grabbed him!
"Code, you must not show any murderous intent in front of him!"
People can really die!
Not far away, Ada pointed to the child and introduced him, "Daemon, he's the other knight I was talking about, and also my younger brother."
Upon hearing this, Code's anger subsided somewhat. Daemon's green hair with red highlights did indeed resemble Ada's!
Just then!
"Whoosh whoosh--"
A series of hurried footsteps sounded at the door!
The Ōtsutsuki Cult members guarding the base noticed the unusual activity and came to investigate!
"What was that loud crash just now?!"
"Bagu, what happened?!"
"Were you taken hostage? I'll rescue you right now!"
