I, Herrscher Slayer

I see, so that's how it's done. When shaping it, there needs to be a coordinated movement between the thumb and the index and middle fingers. That way, the sensation becomes even more... Damn it, has my brain been squeezed through a door? This isn't the time to be focusing on things like this!

It took a good few seconds for Kiana to react after Shen Gonglin's fingers moved in several different ways. Blood rushed to her head, and the girl's fair and cute little face instantly turned a deep red. This was even worse than that time in the hospital. Shen Gonglin even lectured her, but he was the one who was truly acting shamelessly!

"Shen Gonglin, let go of me, you hear?!"

Kiana, having finally snapped back to reality, began to resist. However, because Shen Gonglin was lying entirely in her arms, she was truly helpless for the moment. She had an incredibly fast learning ability, and she was the type of girl who learned from her mistakes. She immediately retaliated, mimicking Shen Gonglin's movements. But unfortunately, she still hadn't grasped the essence of the problem. As mentioned before, boys' and girls' bodies are constructed differently. Kiana's actions were completely self-destructive, like killing a hundred enemies while losing a thousand of her own.

And so, Shen Gonglin and Kiana began to tussle on the seats, neither willing to let go. Although Shen Gonglin had a smaller area to be attacked, Kiana was strong. Thus, the two were evenly matched. Neither was willing to let go first. Letting go at this moment would be foolish; it was time to test their endurance!

"Um... excuse me, guests, could you please restrain yourselves? Even if you're excited, you should consider the occasion. Otherwise, I can upgrade you both to first class. This place is really not suitable for... this kind of thing."

They had indeed started causing a commotion again. The flight attendant, who had been keeping an eye on them, quickly rushed over as soon as there was any disturbance. This time, they were making even more of a scene. Why were they starting this right in their seats? The flight attendant's face turned red as she averted her gaze. This was too bold. They should have exercised some restraint. While it might be romantic at this altitude of ten thousand meters, ... couldn't they just try to avoid being seen?

And so, they were actually in a relationship? She had initially thought they might just be siblings. How disappointing.

The flight attendant let out an almost imperceptible sigh. What could she do when he was already taken? She had originally wanted to secretly leave her contact information for this young man. Even though he was young, she could still play the long game.

Or rather, this type of younger man was exactly her type.

"Huh? Not suitable... Hey, Shen Gonglin, hurry up and let go! Can't you see everyone is watching?!"

It was only after the flight attendant's reminder that Kiana realized the current situation. Sensing the strange gazes of the surrounding people and looking at their current positions and actions, she was still a girl after all. Even if Kiana was usually carefree, she couldn't continue this commotion with Shen Gonglin in front of so many people. The girl let go first, considering it a loss. Shen Gonglin, you let go too!

Huh? Kiana let go? Then it's time to press the advantage!

Shen Gonglin wouldn't care about all that. Since Kiana had conceded, he became even more energetic. You scared me earlier, didn't you? Let me tell you, this is karma!

Chapter 56: Begging for Food

In the airport lobby, a peculiar pair emerged. Onlookers couldn't help but turn their heads. This combination was novel, so novel that it was almost unheard of. What had happened? Why were they like this? It was almost unheard of for a girl to be carrying a boy on her back.

"Shen Gonglin, I swear right now, I will never travel by plane with you again, not even if I were a dog!"

Carrying Shen Gonglin on her back, Kiana said through gritted teeth. The girl's walking posture was slightly odd. With every step, she could feel a dull pain. It wasn't due to any particular issue; Kiana was simply experiencing chest pain. This Shen Gonglin guy was simply inhuman. She had let go, but he had stubbornly refused to release his grip. Although she hadn't checked yet, Kiana was certain she had been bruised.

Despite being treated like this, why was she still carrying this guy? She really wanted to just leave him on the side of the road and watch him get run over by a car... no, by a truck!

"Heh... As if I would travel by plane with you. If I ever travel with you again, I'll be a cat... No, I won't travel with anyone. Kiana, you're not human, you're a real dog."

Shen Gonglin was equally listless. His condition was even worse than Kiana's. Kiana was only experiencing physical pain, but Shen Gonglin had suffered immense mental trauma. During the latter half of the flight, Kiana had pressed him against the window. What's more, this insane girl had even pried his eyelids open, not letting him close his eyes. The scenery at ten thousand meters had left Shen Gonglin's legs weak and unable to move even now. This was why he needed Kiana to carry him.

There was no other way; his whole body was unresponsive, so he had to rely on Kiana, his mount.

"Hmph, it's not like you're useless, being afraid of heights. I almost burst out laughing."

Seeing that he was in a worse state than herself, Kiana felt much better. She had won after all. Although she didn't know how much Shen Gonglin had taken advantage of her, realizing this had restored Kiana's spirits. The girl lifted Shen Gonglin's legs slightly and walked into the shopping street. Carrying Shen Gonglin put no pressure on her at all; it was much easier than the weight she carried in the gravity training room. This guy was simply too useless. He was so thin and light, she wondered how he could have fought the class representative to a draw.

"Kiana, what are we doing now?"

Shen Gonglin raised his head from Kiana's back. He looked at the bustling crowd around them and asked curiously. As for the shame of being carried by a girl, he felt none of it. Shen Gonglin was a strange person. If he were to appear in such a situation being held by Kiana, he would definitely be mortified to death, but being carried by her was completely fine. This was quite puzzling.

"Of course, we're finding a place to stay first and then eat. It's so late, can we still travel? Thanks to certain people, planes are out of the question for our next leg of the journey. Shen Gonglin, be prepared to struggle with your legs."

There was no deadline for reaching headquarters anyway, so Kiana was very carefree. Since she had finally gotten out of the academy, she couldn't just focus on the mission. When it got dark, they had to rest. Besides, the funds were plentiful. After sitting on a plane for half a day, Kiana also wanted to rest comfortably in a big bed and take a hot bath. Since she was in charge of this mission, she could arrange it however she wanted.

"I think you're right, we do need to rest well."

Shen Gonglin nodded in agreement with Kiana's hedonistic approach. As for struggling with his legs, he didn't take it to heart. Kiana was capable and useful. Even if he couldn't walk, he could have her carry him. This girl was soft and bouncy, and Shen Gonglin felt that being carried by her was also a kind of enjoyment. He wasn't afraid of how far they had to go.

What? Cherishing the fairer sex? Did that have anything to do with Shen Gonglin?

"Hmph, hmph, how could my decisions be wrong? You stay here obediently while I figure out what we should do next... Hey, there's candied apples over there. Shen Gonglin, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Unreliable was the perfect description for a girl like Kiana. One second she was looking at hotels nearby on her phone, and the next her attention was caught by a snack stall walking by. Carrying Shen Gonglin was a bit troublesome, so Kiana placed Shen Gonglin on a nearby bench and ran after the snack stall. The vendor, who was being chased by the city guards, was also giving it his all. In no time, Kiana disappeared from sight.

Uh... What should I do now?

Watching Kiana disappear completely, Shen Gonglin, who had been abandoned by her, looked bewildered. He now felt like one of those lonely old men who were cheated by their unfilial descendants and abandoned on the streets. Kiana had just run off like that, and he was still hungry.

Shen Gonglin clutched his stomach, and his flat abdomen let out a loyal rumble at the opportune moment. He had only eaten breakfast and then sat on a plane for most of the day. Given his fear of heights, how could he possibly eat on the plane? The snacks in his backpack were eaten by Kiana before they even landed. Shen Gonglin had literally not eaten a single thing. Having just recovered from his acrophobia, Shen Gonglin immediately felt hungry. He was starving and felt like he could eat a whole cow right now.

Famished, Shen Gonglin looked around for food. However, there seemed to be nothing but clothing stores here. Being in an unfamiliar place, he didn't dare to wander around randomly. Kiana was clearly an idiot. If he didn't wait for her here, she would never find him. She must be directionally challenged... But he was so hungry. Was he really going to starve here waiting for Kiana to return? No, he had to think of a way.

Just then, the aroma of freshly baked bread mixed with tomato sauce and shrimp wafted into Shen Gonglin's nose. Like a cat that had smelled dried fish, Shen Gonglin followed the scent and immediately locked onto the woman standing by the roadside not far away. The hamburger in her hand was the source of this fragrance. Shen Gonglin sniffed deeply. The smell of the food enticed him to slowly approach the woman. The food was here, but how could he get it?

Slowly approaching the food carrier, Shen Gonglin quietly sized up the red-haired woman beside him. Her incredibly ample chest strained her clothes high. With such a large chest, she must be a kind person, right? He figured it wouldn't be a problem to ask her for food.

Chapter 57: Murata Himeko Wants to Fall in Love

I'm so tired... I've never been this tired even on a mission. Why do I feel so exhausted seeing these people? They're all paired up. May they all explode, you happy people!

Leaning on the counter of the fast-food restaurant, Murata Himeko gnashed her teeth as she watched a couple walk past her. Her wine-red eyes flickered with envy and jealousy. Her fair fist slammed hard onto the counter, the loud noise startling the couple, who quickly dodged. Everyone else immediately dared not to come closer. What a beautiful and attractive woman, but why was she so strong?

Ignoring the stares of those around her, Himeko, having just completed her mission, wanted to rest. Although eating this kind of food was detrimental to a woman's figure, she really needed to replenish her calories and energy right now. Eating it occasionally wouldn't be a problem... It's just, why was she being subjected to "dog food" while trying to eat? Everyone had a boyfriend or girlfriend; it felt like she was the only single person in the entire store. She really wanted to fall in love too.

"Excuse me, miss, are you alone?"

There were always those who weren't afraid of death. Although Himeko's action of nearly smashing through the counter had deterred many people from approaching, her attractive appearance and perfect figure still attracted a lot of attention. And so, a man in a suit straightened his tie and walked over. He hadn't expected to see such a beautiful and perfect woman passing by a fast-food restaurant; he considered himself lucky.

"Huh? Do I not look like a person? Are you trying to pick a fight with me?!"

Feeling offended, Himeko turned and glared fiercely at the person who had greeted her. He had a decent appearance, but what did he mean by insulting her right from the start? Did he think she was the type of weak woman who wouldn't fight back when bullied? The glass cup in her hand creaked ominously. The fragile glass cup couldn't withstand the strength of Himeko, a veteran Valkyrie.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you. I'm sorry."

Stared down by Himeko's gaze, the man who had intended to strike up a conversation was instantly terrified. Why did this woman's eyes look so terrifying? And weren't the cracks on the glass cup just his imagination? He estimated that his skull couldn't withstand this strength either. It was best not to get involved with this woman.

The man in the suit quickly turned and ran away. Himeko looked at his retreating back, feeling very confused. He suddenly came over to pick a fight and then suddenly ran away. Was there something wrong with his brain? Since there was something wrong with his brain, she wouldn't bother with him. She was being magnanimous, after all. She was a mature woman.

"I really want to be in a relationship."

Turning back, Himeko leaned on the counter and whispered those words. In the gaps between missions, she also wished she could have a sweet romance like ordinary girls. But for some reason, it never seemed to go smoothly. Why was that?

Himeko, slumped over the counter, couldn't figure it out. Was it because she wasn't pretty enough? But that shouldn't be it. With her looks and figure, any man with eyes and normal taste should be able to see it.

"Miss, your order is ready. Would you like to eat here or take it to go?"

The young waitress asked Rita nervously. This older sister's presence had affected their business. As soon as she spoke, she regretted it. Her head wasn't as hard as a glass cup or a solid wood counter. If she got unhappy, what if she crushed her head like a cup?

"I'll eat here… Never mind, I'll take it to go."

She had planned to eat there before returning to the hotel, but staying here was just asking for heartache. It was better to be alone in her hotel room watching TV. What were people doing out eating and shopping so late at night? Didn't they know some people were single?

"Alright, thank you for your patronage! We look forward to your next visit!"

When Himeko said she was leaving, the waitress immediately became happy. She bowed ninety degrees and escorted Himeko out the door. Such excellent service made Himeko glance back. Was the service here always this good? Then she supposed she shouldn't disappoint their great service.

"Mhm, I'll come again if I have the chance."

Without noticing the waitress's stunned expression, Himeko walked out the door with her fast-food bag. It was getting late. Should she really go back to eat and sleep?

She felt like going back now would be a waste of this wonderful time. Wasn't nightlife just beginning? Should she go for a drink somewhere?

As she walked and pondered this question, Himeko, whose eyes were idly scanning around, successfully annoyed herself again. How did she end up on this pedestrian street? This area, with its hotels and clothing stores, was a hotspot for couples. Coming here was just asking for trouble. Standing by the roadside waiting for the traffic light, Himeko took out her burger and took a fierce bite. What was so great about it? When she found a boyfriend, she'd parade him around like this too!

Just then, Himeko suddenly sensed a gaze. As a Valkyrie, Himeko's reaction was sharp. Even ordinary people could feel someone looking at them, let alone her. Moreover, this gaze was steadily fixed on her without deviation. Who was it?

Then Himeko turned her head and met a pair of deep purple eyes. The moment she saw those eyes, Himeko's heart trembled. It felt as if a soft spot in her heart had been struck. What was this feeling? Himeko had no idea why she reacted this way. Who was this boy? Why were his eyes so… so beautiful.

If Himeko had read more romance novels, she might have understood. This was likely what was called love at first sight. Unfortunately, Himeko didn't have a strong impression of Shen Gonglin, whom she had met briefly a few months ago. Otherwise, she would have recognized that this blonde boy was the one Kiana had brought into St. Freya after he had fainted.

Her mind suddenly went blank. Himeko just stared at Shen Gonglin. After a long time, she finally came to her senses. Why was she acting like this? It was so strange… But he didn't seem to be looking at her. Was he looking at… this?

Following Shen Gonglin's gaze, she saw the burger in her hand. Himeko tried moving the burger, and Shen Gonglin's gaze followed the burger. So he was looking at this. This child, was he hungry?

Knowing what Shen Gonglin wanted, Himeko was about to give him the burger in her hand. But just as she was about to do so, she stopped. Giving it to him directly to eat was good, but… she could also give it to him in a different way.

"Um, do you want to eat this?"

Holding the burger closer to Shen Gonglin, Himeko looked at the blonde, purple-eyed boy in front of her. Himeko felt like… she felt like playing with him a little.

Chapter 58: Call Me Big Sister

It smells so good. It would probably smell even better if I took a bite. The fragrant roasted bun, the crisp vegetables, the savory fried shrimp, and the sweet ketchup. Looking at the burger, Shen Gonglin shamelessly swallowed. Perhaps the sound of his swallowing was too loud, as it seemed this older sister noticed. How embarrassing.

Sensing her gaze, Shen Gonglin quickly turned his head. But his body's instinct still made him look back, meeting those red eyes. Shen Gonglin sensed the kindness in those eyes. Just looking at her face, Shen Gonglin could feel her strong aura. On the surface, she didn't seem easy to talk to, but her eyes gave Shen Gonglin a different feeling. She could probably help him solve his problem.

"Um, do you want to eat it?"

As expected, the older sister in front of him understood his intention. She brought the burger she had taken a bite from closer to Shen Gonglin. The smell seemed even stronger up close. Shen Gonglin nodded fiercely without hesitation. If she was willing to give it to him, that would be great. If the situation allowed, Shen Gonglin still didn't want to snatch food from strangers.

"Mhm, I want to eat it."

"You want to eat it… I won't give it to you unless you agree to one request."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Shen Gonglin's words, Himeko suddenly raised her hand, brought the burger to her mouth, and took another bite. Glancing at Shen Gonglin's obviously disappointed expression, Himeko said those words again. Doing something like this made the A-rank Valkyrie's heart pound. It was just a small joke, it should be fine, right?

"…It's not going to be an unreasonable request, is it?"

At that moment, he almost revealed his true form and snatched the food from Himeko's hand. Only when she said that did Shen Gonglin manage to suppress his impulse. The pitiful look from before had disappeared. Shen Gonglin looked at Himeko with narrowed eyes. It seemed his estimation was wrong. Those with large chests weren't necessarily good people. He had thought she was a kind older sister just now.

"Who knows… Do you agree or not? If you don't agree, I'll finish it."

Taking another bite of the burger, Himeko had already eaten a small half of the regular burger. Looking at the red ketchup on her lips, Shen Gonglin became a little anxious. Why was this woman like this? He had acted so pitifully just now, and she still wouldn't give it to him. Was this really the decline of morality? No, if this continued, she would really finish it. How could he just watch food disappear before his eyes!

"I agree… Don't eat it anymore, you still have to give it to me!"

Shen Gonglin had no choice but to agree. Who knew what she wanted him to do? Was she interested in his looks and wanted to do something strange? Shen Gonglin had made up his mind. If she did that, he would accept… Pfft, that was wrong. He wouldn't accept. Selling himself for a burger? How was that possible? Shen Gonglin priced himself very highly.

At least the cola in the bag should be included.

"Understood, understood. Then how about this… you call me 'big sister,' and I'll give you a bite. How about it? You're not losing out on this, are you?"

Himeko crouched in front of Shen Gonglin, looked up, and winked at him. At the same time, she brought the burger in her hand closer to Shen Gonglin as a temptation. Yes, Himeko admitted that doing this might be a bit strange, but who made her bored? She hadn't expected to meet such a boy who gave her a strange feeling on her journey back to the academy. Although he was young, Himeko couldn't resist teasing him.

"Big sister!"

Just this? Shen Gonglin thought it was something unreasonable. This fellow with a lack of integrity directly and crisply called out. To be honest, Shen Gonglin felt a little regretful when Himeko made this request. He thought she would ask him to do something more outrageous. It turned out to be just this? It was completely irrelevant.

Hiss… This feeling is indeed different. This child is much cuter than Kiana at school. That idiot would definitely call me auntie. Is there such a young auntie? As expected, I should be called big sister, especially when called by him like this. A faint blush appeared on Himeko's face. Not bad, very good. I need to hear it a few more times.

"Well done. Here, eat… If you want more, call me again."

Holding the burger, she brought it to Shen Gonglin's mouth. Shen Gonglin opened his mouth wide and took a bite. The taste was as delicious as he had imagined. Seeing the bite marks on it, Himeko felt something was slightly off. It was a bit awkward to give someone a burger she had just bitten… But it seemed he didn't mind, so… should she continue?

After Shen Gonglin took a bite, Himeko took the burger back. Just calling out once wasn't enough. There was still a lot of burger left, so she had to make the most of it. Moreover, after hearing that word, another thought actually surfaced in Himeko's mind. What she really wanted to hear wasn't just "big sister."

"Oh, Big Sister, give me a burger."

Looking at Himeko in front of him, because she was half-crouching in front of him, Shen Gonglin could see her chest clearly. It was really big. Compared to her, Mei was nothing. Shen Gonglin hinted at something, but Himeko didn't understand his meaning. The Valkyrie happily brought the burger to his mouth again. At the same time, the thought in her mind grew stronger. This child seemed very well-behaved. Maybe it was possible.

"Mhm, very good… But from now on, you can't just call me 'big sister.' You have to call me something else. If you behave, I'll give you all of this. There's another burger and a cola inside. How about it, want to try?"

Acting on her thoughts, Himeko fed Shen Gonglin another bite and then discussed terms with him. In fact, Himeko was also very, very conflicted at the moment. Should she do this? If she did, it would probably be very perverted. An adult woman using food to entice a boy to say such things, no matter where this happened, it would likely be something only a perverted woman would do… But she also wanted to try it. She wasn't trying to experience the feeling of being perverted. What Himeko wanted to try was the feeling of having a boyfriend.

Valkyries also wanted to be in love!

"Hmm? You say it."

Shen Gonglin tilted his head in confusion, looking at Himeko. She had been fine just moments ago, so why was her face so red now? This girl was quite nice; it wouldn't even be a problem if he called her "sister" a few more times. The most important thing was that calling her that meant getting delicious food, so why not?

"Um, can you... can you call me 'darling'?"

Chapter 59: So Many Perverts

What the heck? "Darling"?

At first, Shen Gonglin thought he hadn't heard correctly. But seeing the shy, hesitant, yet expectant look on the red-haired, big-breasted woman's face, he knew he'd heard right. Shen Gonglin fell silent. He really had run into a pervert, hadn't he? Or perhaps this woman was the type who was desperately starved for affection?

Would calling her "darling" make her happy? It felt a bit pathetic... no, not a bit pathetic, but super pathetic.

"No, is that not okay?"

Seeing Shen Gonglin hesitate, Himeko's heart began to waver. Had she been too impulsive? It was one thing to ask him to call her "sister"; that could be explained away as teasing. But this kind of request was impossible to explain. Himeko started to regret her words. Why had she said something so strange? Now he must think she was some kind of incredibly weird, perverted, obsessive woman.

"Tch, you've got some nerve. This isn't like the 'sister' thing from before. To be honest, it's a bit difficult. I'm not just anyone, you know. Asking me to call someone I just met 'darling' out of the blue... that'll cost extra..."

Shen Gonglin bared his teeth, putting on a show of embarrassment and struggle. To pay such a steep price for a fast-food meal felt like a bad deal. Calling her "sister" was fine, but "darling" required an extra meal. One meal wouldn't cut it.

"I'm sorry! I was too impulsive. Forget it, please forget everything I just said!"

Shen Gonglin's words made Himeko's face burn. She was truly an unparalleled idiot. Even if she wanted it, she shouldn't have asked him to call her that. She had finally met a guy who felt different, and they should have taken things slowly. But she couldn't hold back and blurted out something like that. Now he definitely thought she was a pervert. It was over. How could she be so stupid? She didn't deserve to be standing here!

Handing over all the food she had to Shen Gonglin, Himeko turned and fled without looking back. She felt that her perverted self shouldn't remain here any longer. She had lost her mind, how could she have done something like that? Where was the time machine? She absolutely had to turn back time. If she could have another chance, Himeko would definitely restrain herself and not do such a thing!

What was going on? She ran off before he could even finish speaking. Wasn't it a fair trade to treat him to another meal in exchange for being called "darling"? Shen Gonglin felt like she was getting the better end of the deal. Oh well, even if the deal fell through, goodwill remained. Besides, she had given him so much food. Even though she was a bit perverted and a strange older sister, she was probably a good person.

Watching the red figure disappear into the distance, Shen Gonglin returned to the bench with the food she had given him. Regardless, he could finally fill his stomach. It seemed the outside world wasn't as dangerous as he thought. Mei was completely overreacting. Though, she was indeed a bit strange.

While waiting for Kiana to return, Shen Gonglin ate his hamburger. Just as he finished the half hamburger Himeko had given him and was drinking his cola, a white-haired figure appeared in the distance. Kiana, who had run off earlier, had finally returned. If she hadn't come back soon, Shen Gonglin was about to go look for her. Honestly, he was in an unfamiliar place; what if she got lost?
