The Age of Heroes, I Was Exposed by Alaya

Wei Gong thought for a moment, then crouched down to look at the other party. "You can come with me, but can you try to be more ordinary, so that no one can detect you?"

With his strength still not recovered, it would be troublesome if Merlin found him.

Once his strength recovered, he even planned to hang the other party up and beat him, then forcibly perform a sex change operation.

[You're awake! The surgery was successful, you're already a girl now!]

He thought it sounded quite exciting.

"Fou... Fou (can)!"

Fou thought for a moment and cast a [Cognitive Filter] on himself.

Anyone who saw him would mistake him for an ordinary white cat and wouldn't associate him with the image from the video.

At this moment.

Footsteps approached.

Wei Gong and Fou looked over at the same time. A girl wearing a school uniform appeared at the mouth of the alley.

She wore glasses, with pink short hair covering her right eye, and her chest seemed particularly eye-catching.

When the girl saw him and the small white beast, she stood there stunned, staring at him.

Then, Tears suddenly streamed from her beautiful purple eyes, and she blurted out, "Senpai?"

"You..."

Wei Gong was instantly stunned.

Good heavens, my junior still remembers me?

Unbelievable!

Even the Fourth Beast had forgotten him, so how could a quasi-Heroic Spirit like my junior possibly remember him?

Just as his hand trembled slightly and he prepared to step forward to acknowledge her.

Mash's cute face was filled with confusion as she softly murmured, "Huh? What's wrong with me? Why am I crying? Why do I feel like calling out 'Senpai'?"

It was truly strange.

Even though it was their first meeting, she felt an inexplicably deep and familiar connection.

Everything happened so unexpectedly, and tears just fell.

She felt like she shouldn't have forgotten, yet she had completely forgotten!

"Maybe... I got something in my eye."

Wei Gong gently retracted his hand, bent down, picked up Fou, and placed him on his shoulder.

He looked at the girl and smiled, "The clothes you're wearing look like the uniform from the Holy Grail War Magic Academy. Do even the esteemed quasi-Heroic Spirits of Chaldea have to go to school?"

"Yes, the doctor advised me to attend school for a while and interact more with ordinary people."

Mash nodded, placed her hands in front of her, and bowed. "My name is Mash Kyrielight. Please take care of me in the future... Senpai."

"Senpai..."

Wei Gong's expression was dazed.

It had been such a long, long time since he had heard her call him that.

Back then, he had gotten lost amidst countless calls of "Senpai."

But now--

Left home young, returned nameless; home accent unchanged, spiritual foundation shattered. Junior met me, but did not recognize; smiled and asked where the guest came from.

He composed his complicated feelings and smiled, "Please take care of me in the future as well."

"Senpai, your little cat is so cute! What's its name?" Mash couldn't help but lean closer, her eyes sparkling as she looked at his shoulder.

"Its name is Fou."

Wei Gong smiled and told her the true name.

He could hide his identity from many people, but in front of this junior who had always accompanied him, he truly didn't want to deceive her.

Fou also looked at her.

At this moment, it seemed to sense a peculiar connection.

A mysterious and profound force of destiny.

The two people and one beast seemed to have always been together!

"Fou? That's a really nice name."

Mash blinked.

Even though it looked like an ordinary white cat, she instinctively thought of the white beast from the video.

It was a strange feeling.

She gave a sweet smile and asked, "Senpai, what's your name?"

"Wei Gong."

"Senpai, please take care of me from now on. I'll visit you another day."

Mash bowed politely once more.

In front of this stranger, who felt inexplicably familiar, she felt an urge to get closer to him.

"Okay, you're welcome to visit."

Wei Gong waved goodbye to her with a smile, a very happy, incredibly bright smile.

He smiled until his eyes were slightly red.

Junior, Doctor, Shady Merchant... It's good to see you all alive.

The brutal battle back then, where they would have rather died than not block attacks for him, all felt so long ago it was hard to recall.

I don't need to fight anymore, it's good...

After returning home.

Luo Ya looked at his shoulder in surprise. "Wow, where did you kidnap a cat from?"

She had wanted to get a cat before, but he had said—

[This house can only have one pet. You or it, pick one!]

Now, he had actually brought a cat home on his own. Had he lost his mind?

Wei Gong casually replied, "It looked a bit like Fou, so I picked it up. I named it Fou."

"Ehehe, kitty, let me pet you quickly!"

Luo Ya's eyes instantly lit up, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

As someone who indulged heavily in "cloud-petting" cats online, she had long wanted to actually pet one.

But as she approached, Fou suddenly bristled, looking at her with extreme tension.

Because, On the girl, it sensed a faint aura of the same level!

"Fou... Fou (Who are you?)"

Fou's fur stood on end, adopting a ready-to-fight stance!

This person, emitting an aura of the same level, made it instantly bristle.

Because this aura was even much, much stronger than its own.

So strong it was crushing!

Even if that scoundrel Merlin the Heartless had split and replicated himself several times, he couldn't give it this kind of pressure!

Huh, wait!

The aura on this person had become very strange, somewhat similar to the young man beside her.

The entire person was wrapped in layers of restraint, somewhat similar to what she had seen before in those BDSM-themed videos.

It had completely taken the young man's shape!

"Kitty, ehehe, kitty, hurry up and let me pet you!"

Luo Ya still wasn't giving up.

Such an incredibly cute kitty, if she posted a video of it, there would definitely be a crowd of people filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The number of people who would die from cuteness could pile up into mountains!

However.

The little cat's entire body screamed resistance, looking utterly bristled.

If she forcibly tried to pet it, she would definitely be attacked by its claws.

"What did I do wrong to make you treat me like this?"

Luo Ya couldn't help but grind her teeth.

Earlier, when this little thing was on Wei Gong, it looked utterly comfortable.

But it wouldn't even let her touch it once!

She said indignantly, "Damn it, could it be his lover from a past life?"

"Yes, it was with me all along in the last life, and now it's here to repay the favor."

Wei Gong watched the interaction between the two little ones with a smile.

After he restarted the world, all [existences] were deleted, and everyone's memories of him vanished.

Text, images, objects... etc., everything disappeared.

Even the Fourth Beast couldn't recall any related memories.

But as Alaya released the exposé video, his [existence] began to return.

Even if Fou forgot all memories related to him, he would instinctively feel good towards him and want to get close.

True — meeting and instantly giving yourself away!

"Hmph, why don't you say I was your little lover in a past life?" Luo Ya pouted.

She didn't believe a single word of that.

Who would actually fall for a cat?

The kind of person who points at a cat every day and says "Transform!" is just too terrifying.

If cats could talk, they'd definitely retort—

"Transform your grandma!"

Just imagine, a gorilla constantly hovering over your stomach, breathing you in, teasing you in all sorts of ways. Could you stand that?

"No, no, you weren't my little lover in a past life, you were my enemy!"

Wei Gong reached out and tugged on her golden twin tails. "I've raised you for so many years, you owe me so much. How will you ever repay me?"

"Hmph, am I losing money by raising a cute and adorable little angel? At worst, I'll graduate and earn money to support you!"

Luo Ya snorted softly.

With her formidable learning ability, her future was destined for greatness.

Once she earned a ton of money, she'd make this guy kneel and beg a rich woman to take care of him!
