The Golden Retriever Comes Home (Bonus Chapter) / Taking Her by Force

"Silly girls, run all you want this time, I'll chase after you..."

"The outcome is your choice; let time be the judge. This is a girl's freedom and right..."

"I'm greedy, and I'm even more afraid of rejection, so I'll work twice as hard..."

The girls, each with their own thoughts, stared wide-eyed at this domineering yet gentle declaration, their astonishment mixed with surprise and emotion.

"Let's go, let's start our date today!"

Kevin tossed the empty glass into the trash can, chuckled, and stood up to extend an invitation to the girls. Time silently recorded everything.

P. S.: I don't really like love and hate that come without reason. Letting emotions develop naturally is a way of respecting the character. I wonder if everyone is satisfied with this approach?

Section 604 Chapter 575: The Golden Retriever Returns Home (Bonus Chapter)

Seventh Day of Vacation, Tokyo, Abandoned Commercial District, Seventh Heaven Bar.

Kevin picked up the tray and distributed the cocktails Tifa had prepared to Thunder and CC according to their taste preferences. The four of them sat down and inevitably started talking about the recent restructuring of the Japanese Government and the reform of Schrodinger Company.

First, the Japanese Government's gamble with the nation's fate led to the birth of Jenova, the creator, and its inaction at crucial moments truly made it a terrible ally.

Therefore, Shinra President, Lufus for his decisive and efficient approach, readily revealed the dirt he had on him, causing a major political earthquake in Japan. The number of high-profile figures held accountable was so large that even Tokyo prisons couldn't accommodate them all.

Although Japanese politicians were the first to be eliminated, Lufus's desire to dominate the market is essentially hopeless.

Since the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, acting in the spirit of "humanitarianism," participated in the rescue efforts, they naturally wanted a share of the spoils in politics, finance, and the market.

These so-called state-sanctioned violent institutions, even if they are concerned with appearances, are not so easily dismissed. Their struggle against Schrodinger Company is likely to be a long and arduous one.

As a result of this battle, Japan lost some of its sovereignty and became an area under the jurisdiction of the United Nations, which was named "Area 11".

At this moment, Kevin put down his newspaper and looked at CC with a strange expression as she pulled out a pizza from somewhere and started eating the crust.

After confirming several times that neither the puppet who replaced Tendo Kikumori nor the next few successors had anyone named "Kuranosuke Genbu" or "Kuranosuke Suzaku," Kevin finally felt a little relieved.

Thankfully, that infamous "Scum Sparrow" and troublemaker His Highness Lu didn't show up, otherwise, the long-suffering Japanese people wouldn't have had many more days of peace.

Secondly, the little girls who saved Honshu Island from sinking and were revered as "God's Child" received a warm welcome and respect from all sectors of Japanese society.

With her inherent advantages, Lufus, in order to gain the support of the SCP Foundation, not only promoted the legitimacy of the "Divine Children" but also built shrines for them in various places and provided them with special funds for their living needs.

Therefore, the "children of gods," who possess the combined halos of political assets, religious beliefs, and heroism, hold a lofty position and are practically surrounded by stars.

Kevin had no intention of interfering in the lives of these children. Not only were the hundreds of Cursed Children very different in personality, but no one could guarantee what their future character would be like.

Therefore, the cunning commander simply used Japan and Shinra as a base to screen hundreds of Cursed Children, planning to recruit a group of qualified children to join the SCP Foundation and form the Eighth Task Force in the future.

Lufus is a ruthless person. He can throw away even a half-step King-class being like Thunder, which he doesn't feel comfortable using, without batting an eye. He doesn't even flinch when it comes to helping the SCP Foundation cultivate a few mere divine children.

Then, at the Seventh Heaven Bar, with the Schrodinger Company's business downsizing and the reshuffling of the upper echelons, the Avalanche Organization lost its target for revenge.

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and partners must naturally part ways.

Vincent joins Shinra in search of his lover Cressia, Barret retires with his adopted daughter, Yuffie returns home with a hefty reward.

Only Tifa chose to stay at the Seventh Heaven Bar and raise the children left behind by Kevin: Chizuru Kase, the white-haired twin sisters, Owl Girl Tina, and Fuse Midori the cat girl.

However, to Kevin's surprise, the Imperial Army Commander, Big Sister, actually brought her sister Sera to invest in the Seventh Heaven Bar and run it together with Tifa.

As for CC, this free-spirited witch, she naturally made Seventh Heaven Bar one of her bases, living a life of leisure and idleness there.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Tendou Kisara quite smart and heeded Kevin's previous advice.

During these days of great turmoil in Japanese politics, she relinquished her power, made a swift retreat, and, with her Rentaro Satomi, returned to the Abandoned Commercial District.

I heard that she also plans to run the Tendo Dojo and Tendou Civil Security Company together with her senior brother Akima Shimizawa, and Rentaro Satomi's friend.

Moreover, after overcoming his inner demons, Tendou Kisara finally agreed to have his damaged kidney replaced and live a normal life.

However, his perverse habit of subscribing to newspapers every day and reading the turbulent political situation in Japan to his grandfather was truly something to behold.

And so, the friends Kevin met once again unknowingly changed their original life trajectories, leading them further and further down new paths.

The commander smiled with satisfaction, keeping these trivial matters to himself, and then began to sort out his relationship with the three people in front of him.

For Tifa, he is her most important family member and her emotional support. They unexpectedly progressed to a romantic relationship. Having gone through hardships together, the two will never betray each other.

Thunder is straightforward, and Kevin has no right to interfere with her pursuits; he should just let her be.

As for the final Green Haired Witch, she's more like a bickering buddy who constantly teases each other. The two, who have signed a soul contract, not only frequently compete against each other on the Zuan Grand Stage, but also wish the other's ancestral graves would smoke every day.

Add to that CC's immortality and her deeply hidden self-destructive tendencies, and even Kevin himself can't say for sure what their future will hold.

Well, let it be. I hope I can let you experience the beauty of being alive.

Kevin shook his head helplessly, secretly expressing a hint of pity and blessing for CC.

However, as his gaze fell upon her, the green-haired, scheming woman who was gnawing on a pizza took a vicious bite of each slice, then bared her teeth, raised her eyebrows, and spoke smugly.

"Hmph, don't even think about it!"

I take back what I said before. This kind of nemesis needs to be taught a lesson! Given the chance, I'll beat him to a pulp!

Kevin's lips twitched, and he gave the Green-haired Witch in front of him a sharp, sarcastic laugh.

"Damn it! Pizza is the food I hate most in my life! I wish it were extinct!"

"In a few days, I'll take over all the pizza shops in the Abandoned Commercial District and convert them all to sell Oden!"

"You dare mess with my pizza shop!"

"Let's give it a try!"

The two stood on chairs, staring at each other like bickering roosters, each wanting to peck the other, creating a comical scene.

Both the gentle Tifa and the stern Thunder couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

Just as the two were about to break up the fight, a commotion arose outside the Seventh Heaven Bar.

Then, Sister-in-law Sera -law, and Heidewilli, the fanatical follower who accompanied her like a pilgrim, together carried a blonde young lady wearing a black collar into the house.

"That woman is acting suspiciously; she's actually spying outside!"

Kevin glanced sideways, a hint of surprise in his expression.

"Arisa? What happened to you following me here?"

At this moment, the blonde heiress, whose name was clearly mentioned, had her eyes shining. She stretched her Void Shield to its limit, broke free from Sera and Heidewilli's restraints, and lunged forward almost as if she were tumbling.

Like a loyal golden retriever that has been wandering in the wilderness for many years and has finally been reunited with its owner.

"My lord, you're finally back..."

Arisa Gofuin nestled into Kevin's arms, sobbing. Her hands gripped Kevin's clothes tightly, refusing to let go, her pitiful eyes brimming with tears.

Kevin gently stroked the girl's soft fur, trying his best to soothe her emotions, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

Yes, it's certain that after all these years, her illness seems to have worsened...

Section 605 Chapter 576 Overlord Forces Himself

Eighth Day, Abandoned Commercial District, Frontline Beach.

"On Midgar Street, listen to Sister Tifa and Lightning Sis. If you behave well, I'll come visit you sometime..."

Kevin knelt down and stroked the heads of Chizuru Kase, Tina, Fuse Midori, and the white-haired twin sisters one by one, softly making promises to the children. The sadness of parting made their eyes slightly red.

As for childcare, if the lazy and irresponsible Queen CC doesn't cause any trouble, I'm already incredibly grateful.

"I will take good care of the children and wait for you here..."

Tifa stepped forward to smooth out the wrinkles in Kevin's clothes, and as her gaze lingered on the contours of his face, words of comfort slipped out unintentionally.

In an instant, the girl next door came to her senses, suddenly realizing the ambiguity in her words. She immediately covered her lips, a blush rising on her cheeks, and clutched the hem of her clothes, quickly trying to explain.

"Everyone in the avalanche is also... Kevin, if you have any difficulties, just say the word. We're scattered in different places, and if our companions need help, everyone will definitely come from all directions to face it together!"

Kevin's lips curled into a slight smile, then he wrapped his arms around Tifa and whispered in her ear.

"Sister Tifa, once we're both ready, you should be taking care of your own child..."

The older sister next door blushed even more, and feeling the intense gaze behind her, she couldn't help but glance at Kevin with a mixture of shyness and reproach.

"Take care on your journey, Will..."

The name that originally belonged to her younger brother, when uttered by Tifa, carried not only the care of a family member but also a hint of a lover's admonition.

Kevin waved his hand and took a slight step back, but as soon as he turned around, a figure that had been pushed out stumbled and crashed into him.

Even worse, the woman subconsciously adjusted her posture, using her hard forehead as the protruding part of her nose. Kevin's nose, which was in close contact with hers, immediately produced a crisp sound of bones dislocating.

Immediately, the two fell over one after the other, their positions one above the other, and they landed on top of each other.

Oh no! Sister-in-law Sera, covered her face in Affliction with her hands that had been fueling the fire, finding it hard to bear watching her older sister's valiant display.

But the cracked fingers clearly couldn't stop his curious gaze from peeking in.

Don't just stand there! Help him up! Quickly, help him up!

Unable to bear the thought of leaving her older sister, Sera immediately put down her hands and faced the harsh reality, gesturing wildly as she offered advice to Thunder.

Under his sister's coercion, Thunder shook his head helplessly, stood up while pressing on Kevin's sternum, and then reached out to pull the unlucky guy, who was pinching the bridge of his nose, up.

Speak to her! Be gentle and graceful... be demure and affectionate... be lively and cute... basically, be approachable!

Forced into the task, Thunder patted Kevin on the shoulder without hesitation, his handsome face as perfect as a marble sculpture.

"Hey, don't die."

"Also, I'll pay you back the money I owe you in three installments..."

Kevin paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, and the atmosphere between the two became awkward again.

Sera clutched her forehead in Affliction. "Who told you to say those things? You've ruined the atmosphere! You've completely destroyed the atmosphere!"

Forget it, let's just go for it! Let's kiss!

The sister-in-law, who was worried sick about her older sister, became more determined after each setback, posing with her hands in a kissing gesture, but Lei Ting, who didn't know much about this, was completely baffled.

In a moment of desperation, Sera, along with Heidewilli, who had gotten along well with her these past few days, swiftly pecked the little nun on the cheek, demonstrating her action.

Under his sister's expectant and encouraging gaze, Thunder's eyes became solemn and his aura sharp. When he stood up, his back was to his sister-in-law Kevin, who, not understanding the situation, felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"Bang!"

With a straining sound, Kevin's shoulders were gripped tightly by Lei Ting's hands. Then, with the posture of conquering prey, and a hint of determination and helplessness, the woman slowly pressed down.

Not there! The mouth! Quick! Now!

Sera, who no longer cared about the method but only about the result, was quite excited at this moment. Her face was flushed with excitement, and she pointed to her lips and teeth, gesturing wildly.

Under the strange gazes of the crowd, Thunder shifted his head a few inches and kissed Kevin's lips.

"How about we build a relationship first? I appreciate the idea..."

Kevin watched the icy face closing in on him, his psychological pressure increasing. His eyes twitched, and he involuntarily leaned back, supporting himself with one hand, forcing a dry laugh as he refused.
