Raiden Ryoma was also an Executor, but as someone who knew these two were among the founding elders of the Schicksal Alliance,

Raiden Ryoma held the two Doctors in high regard.

Moreover, the two Doctors also held very high status with the Schicksal Alliance Leader.

"Long time no see, Raiden Ryoma."

"How have you been lately?"

"Haha, same as always. Nothing much has changed."

Raiden Ryoma said with a smile, then suddenly noticed the three people behind them.

"Hm? Those three are..."

Raiden Ryoma looked Lin Nai up and down. For some reason, he had a rather bad feeling.

Was it just his imagination?

How strange.

"From left to right, they are Lin Nai, Kiana, and Bronya. They are studying under us."

Einstein spoke.

Naturally, they were studying all sorts of subjects.

Raiden Ryoma nodded in understanding. Children favored by Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla could not possibly be ordinary.

Lin Nai: Reckless brute

Kiana: Combat talent

Bronya: Genius

It could be said that all three had their own distinctive traits.

Lin Nai: ???

So why was he the reckless brute? Was that right? That was very much not right!!

Then tell me, are you reckless or not?

Lin Nai: "..."

He truly had no way to refute the system on that point. He was indeed rather impulsive and fond of charging headfirst into things.

After all, he had the capital to do so.

"Then, Doctors, where are you staying tonight? Shall I have someone take you there?"

"Sure."

Tesla nodded. Why not use a car when one was available?

Otherwise, they would have to call a cab later.

However, after hearing the address Tesla gave, Raiden Ryoma's expression turned somewhat subtle.

"What is it, Raiden Ryoma?"

"Ah... no, that place is quite close to my home," Raiden Ryoma explained.

There was only about a kilometer between them.

If one called that close, then it really was quite close.

"I see. Then that works out perfectly. We can go together," Tesla said without much concern.

Einstein rubbed her chin, wondering whether this villa had really been rented by Tesla.

Tesla had never told Einstein that she had bought a villa.

"That would be fine."

Raiden Ryoma had no objections. He took out his phone, intending to call someone to pick them up.

Lin Nai, meanwhile, stood where he was, deep in thought.

"Lin Nai, is something wrong?" Kiana asked.

"Ah, no. I was just thinking... why don't we just take the aircraft there?"

"..."

Raiden Ryoma froze for a moment and looked toward the Lobster Doctor, who had suddenly gone blank.

Right.

So why not?

"Then... should I still call for a car?"

Raiden Ryoma hesitated. He had not yet called the driver and told them to bring the car over.

Tesla waved her hand. "Forget it... let's take the aircraft."

"Fine."

Thus, the group that had just gotten off the aircraft boarded it again.

Lin Nai made no comment on this situation.

Mm.

"Come to think of it, Dr. Tesla, I remember the house you're staying in hadn't been sold... Did you buy it?"

"Hadn't been sold?" Einstein frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Tesla guiltily turned her head away.

"Dr. Tesla, could you please properly explain to Einstein about buying the villa?"

With an expressionless face, Einstein confronted Tesla with an inorganic voice and a nuclear-friendly gaze.

Tesla awkwardly found herself at a loss for words, then finally turned her gaze toward Lin Nai.

Noticing Tesla's gaze, Lin Nai, who had been telling stories to Kiana and Bronya, looked over.

Lin Nai: ???

Tesla:!!!

Tesla's eyes darted around. Before Einstein could press her further, she hurriedly spoke.

"Bird's Nest Head! Calm down! Look! We can't keep Lin Nai in the Schicksal Alliance forever, can we?!"

"That is not impossible." Einstein looked at Lin Nai.

"I don't mind."

Lin Nai spread his hands. Whether he stayed in the Schicksal Alliance or not made no difference to him; he had always adapted to whatever came his way.

Most importantly...

He wanted to see Tesla embarrass herself.

Tesla: ???

"Uh..."

Tesla was momentarily speechless, unsure how she should defend herself.

Einstein sighed silently. "Dr. Tesla, our experimental funding can no longer withstand this kind of squandering."

"Well... I used money from my personal stash..." Tesla said quietly.

Einstein remained expressionless. "Dr. Tesla has a personal stash?"

Einstein, who had no personal stash, felt deeply upset and strongly condemned Tesla!

"Uh... well... how should I put this..."

Tesla whistled, her eyes drifting about.

At last, she glanced at Raiden Ryoma, who was listening enthusiastically to the story with the others.

"Ahem! Bird's Nest Head! Can we talk about this once we get there? Raiden Ryoma is still here!"

Raiden Ryoma, suddenly called out, raised his head. "Huh? What are you talking about?"

He had been completely focused on listening to Lin Nai's story.

He had not paid any attention at all to what Tesla and Einstein had been saying.

He only looked over after hearing Tesla call his name.

Einstein did not continue questioning Tesla. "It's nothing. Dr. Tesla was asking how your daughter is doing, Raiden Ryoma."

"Oh, Mei... Mm, her condition is stable at the moment, and there have been no problems."

A smile unconsciously appeared on Raiden Ryoma's face.

Clearly, he was a doting father.

Chapter 50: Lin Nai: Oh No! I'm Going to Become Yuko!!

The tranquil night sky stretched endlessly, like an enormous sheet of black silk draped over the earth.

Under the streetlights.

A young girl walked toward home with a wooden sword hanging at her waist.

She had long purple hair and light violet eyes. Her hair was tied into a ponytail with a bow.

A purple polka-dot butterfly bow rested atop her head, and she wore a black sailor uniform, the school's standard attire.

As the girl walked down the path, she wondered whether her father would be home tonight.

"Well, well, where did this little girl come from? How about coming with your big sisters?"

A frivolous voice rang out from nearby.

Mei Raiden frowned and instinctively placed her hand on the sword hilt, turning toward the voice with a cold expression.

The woman whistled. "Heh, so she really is just a child? What can that wooden sword possibly do?"

"Stop playing around. She's Raiden Ryoma's daughter. Take her away quickly."

A burly man stepped out and rebuked the frivolous woman.

"Tch, don't be so impatient. People as impatient as you have trouble getting in."

"..."

"Don't tell me I hit the mark?"

"Shut up!!"

The burly man roared, then looked toward Mei Raiden. "Don't blame us. Your father is Raiden Ryoma, after all."

"My, my, I really don't understand what those rich people are thinking. Instead of extorting money, they want to take such a pretty little girl somewhere and kill her?"

The woman made it clear that she did not understand why.

Hearing that, Mei Raiden took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the wooden sword.

Who exactly were these two...

Hm?

Mei Raiden sensed something and spun around, slashing with her sword!

Crack!!

The wooden sword snapped on the spot as another man appeared.

Before Mei Raiden could react, a gun had already been raised and aimed at her.

"!!!"

"Stop struggling. You'll suffer less that way," the man said coldly.
