American Girl Task Force (2)

Chapter 4: Photocatalytic Blasting Guns

A week later, Mike and his party showed up at the pier on the beach, though, surprisingly, Barricia’s figure was mixed in.

Because when they go to visit Barisia, Jill accidentally blurts out that she’s going to Germany, and Barisia forcefully yells that she wants to come along; she probably wants to get her revenge herself!

Mike thought Sir Torrey would stand in the way, but he agreed, and no matter how much Mike exaggerated the dangers of the trip, Sir Torrey still turned a deaf ear, and was even willing to offer a large sum of money to ensure that their journey was comfortable and luxurious, and Barisia cheered with joy.

Mike had no choice but to say that he would pay the money back in the future.

“Why don’t you let me go? I could come in handy!”

“Not telling you that it’s too dangerous.”

Mike and Barricia remain deadlocked.

“Are you bored?”

“They’re very close, Jill. You’re jealous, aren’t you?”

“┅”

Boom! Jill swings at Ryoma.

The ship docked.

A few first-class tickets were obtained, with Sir Torrey’s great assistance, for he would not allow his beloved daughter to feel the slightest discomfort.

“It doesn’t feel like going to a duel at all yeah!”

Just as Mike had said, the pier was tied up with colorful paper ribbons, and the passengers were all well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, so the plainly dressed Mike and his party stood out, while Ryoma was still in his eye-catching kimono.

“Ryoma, is this the only outfit you have?”

“No! I have three sets that I change and wash once a month.”

“Wow~ No wonder it stinks so bad! You stay away from me! Go away!!!”

“Ms. Jill, why do you hate me so much? I even shaved my beard!”

Perhaps because he had been disliked by Jill, Ryoma had lost his original manliness in front of her.

“I hate dirty men!”

“Right! When I was with Lulu, she wanted me to take a bath and wash my clothes every day… Lulu, where are you?”

“Mike, can you not take this annoying man?”

“Jill, don’t be like that! Ryoma’s a reliable guy!”

“Right! Much more reliable than Brother Mike!”

“Hahaha…”

WOO… WOO… Just as they were chatting away, the siren sounded.

“Hurry up and get on the boat! Hold on to your tickets, don’t drop them, yo!”

Boarding began and soon the ship was moving swiftly away from the harbor.

“Ah! What a mood!”

The night is low over the sea, and land will probably be visible early tomorrow morning!

Mike and Jill stood on the sparsely populated deck, enjoying the ocean breeze. The two basked in the soft moonlight, and Mike smoothly placed his hand on Jill’s shoulder.

“I left in a hurry this time, and the thought of the future weighs on me… I really want to forget all this, even if it’s just for a moment!”

“I won’t forget!”

“Hey..! Jill, don’t spoil the fun, okay?”

“I’m just kidding! I also want to go on a trip with Michael… just the two of us!”

“Jill…”

The two of them forgot about each other and kissed long and hard. As they parted, they realized that a crew member was walking towards them, and Mike was a little embarrassed to say hello.

“It’s hard to work so late at night!”

“No… where are your companions?”

“They’ve gone to bed and we’ll be going to our room soon, so you can relax a bit.”

“Don’t be polite! For both of you, do you need me to clean your rooms first?”

“Don’t bother, and the room is locked.”

“I’ve opened it, and you don’t have to go back to your rooms.”

“What! You’re from the Rosicrucian Order…”

The man immediately pulled out a gun and aimed it at Mike, who tried to fight back but was a step too late.

“Don’t move!”

“Ah…”

Not long after, Mike and Jill were surrounded by a dozen people, the previous crew member began to take off his shirt, remove the sailor’s hat, beautiful long hair draped down, turned out to be a tall woman.

“Hahaha! I’m the cadre of the Rosicrucian Order─Shahawk, finally I caught that samurai and the little girl when they weren’t around.”

“Hmph! What arrogance, but such cowardice.”

“I’m just being careful, launch!”

Boom! Sagittarius fired at the same time his men came forward, the bullet skimmed Mike’s cheek, and in the confusion, Jill had fallen into the hands of the enemy.

“Jill!”

“Mike! Help!”

Mike pulls out his gun and knocks out Seahawk’s henchmen one by one with lightning speed, a godawful shot that shocks both Jill and Seahawk.

“You don’t seem to be very well informed! Doesn’t it say on my sign that I accept ‘cases solved with guns’ and ‘shooting commissions’?”

“I thought it was just exaggerated propaganda! Bastard! Sabotaging my plans…”

“What’s the crappy plan?” Mac taunted Seahawk, though Jill was still being held hostage by her.

“I’ll take this chick first, bye!”

“Hey! Slow down!!!”

Sagittarius fled upwards, and as she ascended to the uppermost deck, there was an explosion from below.

“You, you planted a bomb!?” Mike asked hastily as he caught up.

“Haha! You guessed right! This way you can do all the work in one go, I just didn’t realize that you really have two tricks up your sleeve!”

“How dare you try to blow up innocent travelers?”

“That has nothing to do with me. I’m going to leave now with a space movement spell, someone will be here in twenty minutes, you’ll give her the light media blaster and I’ll release Ms. Jill.”

“Wait!”

“Hahaha! Without a light medium, this girl won’t survive, and your time to die is coming!”

Sagittarius raises his gun, but Mack is quicker, knocking Sagittarius’ gun down in an instant, and Jill takes advantage of the situation to break free.

“Mike!”

“Are you okay? Great!”

“┅It seems that the only way is to use the summoning technique.”

Sagittarius began to recite an incantation, and in an instant, her entire body was surrounded by a mass of light. When the light disappeared, she did not change in any way, but instead a group of hairy crabs squirmed around her feet.

“┅What the hell? Hairy crabs are nothing to be afraid of!”

“I… I’ll be afraid…” said Jill, trembling slightly.

“Jill, you have to escape before the ship is shen.”

“None of you will escape!” Seahawk shouted, and the crabs immediately focused on Mike, making it impossible for him to move.

“What a nuisance! Jill, escape in the lifeboat with Ryoma and Barisia, and try to help the other travelers escape if you’re allowed.” Mike gave Jill a smooth shove.

“But…”

“Hurry up! I’ll meet you as soon as I beat this guy.”

“Mac… definitely!”

“I know!” Mike gave her a small smile before immediately turning to Sagittarius.

Jill looked back and ran forward at a dead run.

“These crabs are getting more and more numerous, we have to defeat this woman first…”

Mike aimed the ‘Peacemaker’ at Seahawk’s chest.

Shoo ~ touch!

“Huh? What’s that noise?” The bullet unexpectedly bounced back.

“The Armor Spirit has descended on me, that thing of yours won’t work! Forget about the Light Medium Blasting Gun for now, let’s go and retrieve the Shining Star first…”

Seahawk tries to go after Jill, but is pulled down by Mike and falls to all fours.

“Let her go!”

“Hmph! Well, let’s take care of your dog’s life first!” Sagittarius choked Mike’s neck hard.

“Well… I can’t breathe…”

“You’ll soon be in the Western World of Ultimate Bliss!”

“What to do… Okay! One way or the other…” Mike struggled to take out the Lightning Media Blaster.

“Do you want to beg for mercy? But it’s too late!”

“Who wants to beg for mercy!”

Psst!

“Ah! The Light Blaster…”

“I went through a lot of trouble to find bullets of this caliber!”

The bullet went solidly through Sagittarius, and a large hole opened up in her body, blood immediately bursting out.

“Damn…”

“I don’t think you’ll die so early. I’m going to slip away first, your companion should come to save you lo?” After Mike finished speaking, he quickly left.

Sagittarius fell to the deck, bleeding all over the floor.

“Damn… I can’t believe they used the Light Medium Blaster on me… I probably won’t survive… Daisy won’t be able to save me… Is… I’m going to end up worse off than Ella…”

Sagittarius slowly raised his gun against his temple, if he could die sooner, he might not have to be abused by the elf.

“Damn… I failed…”

As Sagittarius is about to pull the trigger, a figure appears and grabs her gun.

“Is that Daisy!?”

However, it wasn’t a human, but a monster with a humanoid appearance, but with two scorpion tails, and its entire body was covered in scale armor.

“Genie… you’re here already! It seems that I can’t escape…” Sagittarius spoke with despair.

“┅As you wish! Do I have to take it off myself? Ah!”

Seahawk suddenly realized that something seems to be moving in front of his eyes, and when he settled down to take a look, a large group of hairy crabs had already gathered around his feet.

“You don’t seem to want me to die comfortably…”

The elf’s foot became as if it were an ice blade, and he stomped hard on Sagittarius’ ankle.

“It hurts! What are you doing!?”

The elf kicked Sagittarius, causing her to roll into a prone position before placing the blade of her foot against the crook of her knee and beginning to sharpen the saw back and forth.

“Waaaaaaaahhhh~ No, don’t~”

The elf ignored Seahawk’s bitter pleas, the ear-piercing sound of sawing bones continued to ring out, and Seahawk’s screams went straight to the sky.

Ahhhhhhhhhh~”

One of Sagehawk’s heels had fallen in response, and the elf then went to saw her other foot.

“Aaahhhh… I can’t escape, so why do you…”

The elf picked up a bloody heel off to the side and threw it at the hairy crab, which immediately scrambled to nibble at it. The elf then picks up the remains of the Sagittarius again, and lets the break bear directly on the ground.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh~”

Sagittarius screamed wildly from the intense pain, and the elf held her up from behind.

“Uh…”

The elf’s scorpion tails whipped around, one reaching into Sagittarius’s secret pussy and the other into the ass-hole of her buttocks.

“┅Waahhhhhhh~”

When the scorpion tail was inserted into the cavity, blood flowed from Sagittarius’ secret point.

“Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.”

Something resembling a male phallus protruded from between the elf’s femurs and easily penetrated Sagittarius’ secret passage.

“Ahhhhhh~”

The elf began to swing back and forth, the blood and flesh of the surface where the Sagittarius was in direct contact with the wooden planks being rubbed and splattered in all directions.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh~”

Under the elf’s play, Sagittarius felt a wave of unspeakable pleasure, but she was still conscious enough to clearly feel the three foreign objects writhing inside her and the sharp pain at the broken leg.

“AHHHHH…”

Blood flowed from the corners of Sagittarius’s mouth, and the deck was bleeding early.

“Ah Th… I’m dying… Ah…”

Tears, blood, love juices… all at once

“Aaah… please kill me…”

The elf proceeded to lift Sagittarius’ head while stretching what was inside her in unison, penetrating Sagittarius as if it were a long arrow.

“Uh-oh.”

By the time a foreign object protruded from Sagittarius’ mouth, she was already out of breath.

“Hoo hoo… I have to get to the lifeboat quickly… If I had known, I wouldn’t have brought so much luggage…” Mike desperately ran forward, as the sound of explosions continued to ring out from the passenger ship.

“Whew… finally I’m out! Where are Jill and the others?

Rumble! There was a loud bang, and the ship then tilted to one side.

“Woahhhh~”

Mike was shaken to the surface of the sea, although the sea floating many lifeboats, but no one noticed him. Mike gradually lost consciousness under the constant pounding of the waves, and drowned in the waves.

The ship had broken in half and was about to sink to the bottom of the sea.

“Get out of here, the tsunami is coming!”

Jill and the others rode in the lifeboat as Ryoma desperately  paddled.

“Mike will definitely come up…”

“Brother Mike… oooh…” Jill and Barisha wept anxiously.

“There are so many lifeboats, Mike must have gotten on one of them… He won’t die so easily!”

“Die! Don’t say such unlucky words! Oo… Where the hell is Brother Mike!”

“Mike, you will keep your promise to me, I believe in you…” prayed Jill as she looked at the slowly sinking ship.

Chapter 5: Lost Memories

“Aaah! No, don’t…”

In the dimly lit room, a young girl was lying completely naked on the sand, being fondled by several men.

The man’s face was blurred, and the young girl… turned out to be Irene! However, the appearance was a bit younger than now.

“Why? Why are you doing this to me…”

The men didn’t answer, just mechanically rubbed Irene’s body.

The grains of sand were very coarse and large under the man’s squeezing, making her white pattered back rub a blood stain.

“Ah… um… it hurts!” Irene wailed loudly.

The men flipped Erin over and, one of them, lifted her ass up and jabbed it hard, right into the center of her flower.

“AHHHHH…”

Irene, who was still a virgin, was subjected to unprecedented torture… The men took turns ravaging her, and Irene had no chance to catch her breath. Irene was unable to break free, and as her breasts were constantly being battered by the gravel, she bit her lips in agony.

After an unknown amount of time, a man pulled out a bottle of thick, silver-colored liquid. The man pushed himself deeper into Erin before slowly pouring the liquid onto her red, swollen back.

“OHH ah~ it’s hot!!!”

Irene, who had been sprawled helplessly on the sand, instantly shuddered fiercely and screamed piteously and wildly, but the men were not at all moved.

The man remained expressionless as he poured the liquid while continuing to push in. The silver-white liquid slowly seeped through the wound.

“Aaaaahhhh ~ Ummm…” saliva continued to flow from Irene’s mouth, and her throat dried up from excessive hissing.

The other man moved her to a supine position, a direct drive with a whip.

Erin didn’t pass out, the sensations in every part of her body became clearer and clearer, especially the touch of her vaginal cavity being penetrated, which went straight to her head. All Irene could do at this point was pray that she would pass out soon.

The man on top of her changed to another face, yet it was more of a boy than a man. The boy began to stretch and move like the others, though his movements were slightly more subdued.

Erin was finally able to turn her head and look around.

Other men began to change into priestly garments.

(It’s finally over…) Irene was relieved. But those people were coming towards me with sharp short swords.

(What are they going to do! Trying to kill me? Great! At least let me die easily!) Erin thought to herself, however, she suddenly realized that there was something different about the boy on top of her.

“Hey! What’s wrong with you?”

The boy didn’t answer, just moved faster.

The sword-wielding man had closed in beside her, and Erin closed her eyes silently.

Poof! Poof!

Vomit! A sizzling sensation came from inside the secret passage, and his face was simultaneously sprinkled with burning liquid.

Erin opened her eyes in panic and caught a glimpse of the boy spitting blood from his mouth, already broken. Seeing tears welling up in the boy’s eyes, Erin’s consciousness returned.

“Umm… Ouch!” However, she still couldn’t move.

Poof! Poof! The boy’s body still spasmed as blood leaked Erin’s slender frame into a vermillion color.

As if the hour had been arranged long ago, the men raised their swords at the same time and stabbed Irene. The cold touch of the tip of the sword made Irene’s whole body shudder.

“Waaaah! Ahhhhhhhh~”

“What’s the matter with you? Ms. Irene!”

“Huh! Whew~ That dream again…”

Erin woke up from her dream, and Creedy beside her rushed to soothe her.

The two were completely naked, and after a bout of fish-water sex, they were so tired that they both fell asleep.

“Dreaming? What does that mean?”

“Hoo, hoo… it’s okay to tell you…”

Erin examines her front and there are no wounds. She adjusts her breathing rate and tells Creedy about the dream.

“I have this dream sometimes.”

“A dream? Maybe it’s symbolic… The boy was a sacrifice, wasn’t he? However, if that had happened, Ms. Irene would be long gone from this world.”

“No… am I not a symbol of immortality?”

“┅Ah! That’s right! Erin-sama is different from us, but that dream was too unreal to be real.”

“You’re right, but…”

“??”

“I have no memory of my childhood…”

“Right! You woke up as the great leader of the Crusades.”

“I woke up when the room that housed the remains of Christine Roxanneau was opened. I woke up when the room where the remains of Christine Roxanne Roxanne were kept was opened. I remember very clearly Daisy’s surprise when she found me… of course!

Where it had been sealed for a hundred years, there lay a young girl! At that time, I was only eighteen years old, but the truth is, I’m not sure how old I am.”

Creedy nodded knowingly.

“Things like reincarnation are inherently incredible, and as for age, there’s no need to be too concerned.”

“┅Yeah! But it wasn’t a dream, it always felt real to me! The me in the dream seemed much smaller than the me now, or maybe it was the old me…”

“If we can find out the connections, we can solve the mystery of reincarnation Lo!”

“Mystery… Then why can’t I return to Christine’s body now? Why am I reincarnated as a woman again?” Irene absently rubbed her own bosoms.

“┅”

“I just have so many questions, I wonder when I will be sacrificed? Although I don’t remember it very well, I do know all about the first head of the Rosicrucian Order, I’m probably really the reincarnation of Christine! If I can really realize the ‘ideal world’ that the Rosicrucian Order has always advocated, I will definitely be able to know everything, and then maybe I will know something about the shameful past as well…”

Erin slumped her shoulders helplessly, tears already welling up in her eye frames.

“┅Every time I woke up from that dream, the physical sensations were still clear, but as for what happened to Kristin, it became very unreal!!!”

Creedy put her arms around Erin in a soothing hug.

“Miss Irene is so pitiful! I will definitely help you investigate your origins, don’t cry! You still have the responsibility of leading us ah!”

“Thank you! You’re the only one I can trust!” Erin snuggled into Kreti’s arms.

However, Creedy stared at Erin from behind, an inexplicable sneer spreading across the corners of her mouth.

“Woah… ah… where is this?”

Mike awakens from a dream of being engulfed by a large wave, and he finds himself lying in an unfamiliar room.

“Ah! Are you awake?”

It’s a woman’s voice.

“I… how…”

“You were washed ashore by the waves and have been unconscious for two days, yo!”

The woman, clutching a laundry basket and wearing a robe, gently explained to Mike. She seemed to be a little older than this Mike.

“Were you the one who took care of me the whole time I was in a coma?”

“Eh, I like to help people in trouble.”

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Lulu, and this is northern Germany, near Bremen. And you?”

“Who am I… who am I…?”

It’s amazing how Mike lost his memory after he was shipwrecked.

“What about this? Although I picked up your luggage, the notepad was in tatters, so I threw it away… All I know is that you are English.”

“??”

“Aren’t you speaking English now? This is Germany, Germans don’t wake up speaking English!”

“Yes! I can’t remember anything, but… it seems like there’s something important I need to do.” There were still some memories in Mike’s subconscious.

“I think it would be good for you to stay here for a while, a brief memory loss should come back quickly!”

“No! Can’t trouble you any more! I don’t know who I am, and what if I’m wanted for a crime? I think I’d better leave!”

“Really bad guys don’t say that, even if they lose their memories, their character doesn’t change ah!

“It’s possible that I was a good guy and then I became a bad guy.”

“Okay! If you recover your memories and realize that you’re a bad person, I’ll kick you out again, but I’m sure you’re definitely not a bad person, trust my vision!” Lulu finished and smiled slightly.

“┅Thank you then! Thank you for your kind words!”

Mike breathed a sigh of relief, having just acted like he was strong, but in reality he didn’t know where to go from there.

“You actually want to stay don’t you?”

“Huh? How did you know!?”

Lulu seems to be able to read people’s minds.

“You don’t have a name, it’s inconvenient which! How about this! Let’s call you ‘Ryoma’ for now, shall we?”

“‘Dragon Horse’? That’s a good name!”

“The pronunciation is quite standard! It’s the name of the eastern island nation-Japan, you’re from a small island nation, it suits you well.”

“Is that how… everyone in Europe sees the British?” Mike was a little upset.

“I’m sorry! It’s incredible that despite your loss of memory, your national consciousness is still strong!”

“I have forgotten all about my origins and my past… That’s right! How do you know the name of that faraway country?”

“┅I will tell you when you regain your memory.”

“Anyway, you’ve seen enough to know about this kind of thing, so it’s not surprising. Huh? You speak English very well, you seem to have a talent for languages, yo!”

“┅My English is very broken! I’m sorry to hear such a compliment! Actually, I know French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese… and Japanese! Even Latin… No, that’s just for work!”

“Right! Your occupation is…”

“I collect shellfish and seaweed on the beach for a living.”

Mike couldn’t respond for a moment.

“What does this job have to do with Latin?”

Lulu hesitated for a moment and then continued, “I also work for a long-established charitable organization, and the information is all in Latin… Ryoma, you sound like you used to be a policeman or a detective!

“┅Lulu, why did you take the liberty of calling me Ryoma?”

“Huh? You don’t like it?”

“I do like it, but it feels weird to be called that all of a sudden. Fine! Starting today, I’ll be called Ryoma, Lulu, please!”

“We’ll live together from now on lo! Ryoma.”

After that, Mike… no! ‘Ryoma’ then stayed at Lulu’s house and lived like a hermit.

The two are still a little rusty at first, but slowly, the seedling of love grows in their hearts, especially after the loss of memory of Mike, then called ‘Dragon Horse’, the soul is very empty, the need for emotion is particularly strong, but the two have not yet had skin-to-skin contact.

One morning, Lulu seemed ready to go out.

“Ryoma, I have to go away for a day or two. Will you stay home?”

“Huh? What’s the matter with you?”

“The group I mentioned before is understaffed and asked me to help out, I’ll be back when I’m done, don’t worry.”

Mike looked at Lulu with lonely eyes.

“┅Take me with you!”

“But I’m afraid you won’t find it interesting.”

“I’m only bored here! You’re not at home…” said Mike, looking a little uneasy.

“┅Ryoma, why are you acting like a child? If you want to go, come along!”

“I, I’m not! I just don’t feel comfortable with you going alone!”

“Good ~ thank you! My personal bodyguard.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, okay?”

“I’m sorry! But I’m so glad you finally said, ‘I can’t live without you’!”

“I didn’t say that…”

Mike blushed with shame, and Lulu smiled happily at seeing him so innocent.

“Go get ready then! Protect me on the way!”

“Well, I’ve got it covered!”

They left the beach house together, but this was the beginning of another tragedy…

“Hasn’t… arrived yet?”

“What an unreliable bodyguard! You’re only halfway there and you can’t walk anymore?”

Mike and Lulu were in the Alps, the mountains weren’t too steep but the trails were curvy and uneven, making Mike, the ‘city hick’, grunt.

“Don’t get lost! It’s no fun getting lost in these mountains!”

“What the hell is this place? Hooooooooooo.”

“The ‘House of the Elves’, where we’re going now, is a sacred place, and non-members of the group are forbidden to enter.”

“Then… hoo~ you trust me a lot!”

“Yeah! I told you not to come, but you didn’t listen, and now you’re panting like a puppy.”

“Oh… this is nothing!” Mike steeled himself and took a big step forward.

When they reached the entrance to the Elf House, they saw only a small, unassuming cabin.

“┅What? Is this the sacred place?”

“It’s different inside!” Lulu inserted the key and opened the door.

Very expansive with high ceilings and soaring stone walls, red velvet carpet on the floor.

“Wow~ It’s so luxurious!” Mike let out an exclamation.

“Huh?”

There was not a single window in the entire building, and ornately carved and painted glass wall sconces were juxtaposed, emitting a faint glow on the walls, each with an engraved crucifix and an emblem of a rose in the center.

“┅This pattern looks like I’ve seen it somewhere before﹚” Mike muttered, but his thoughts were immediately interrupted.

“Ryoma, what are you gawking at? Stop looking around, I’ve got work to do!”

“Huh? Is that your companion? Would it be rude of me to barge in here out of the blue?”

“It’s okay! Just don’t mind the strange looks!”

“Whoo!”

Lulu headed deeper into the corridor, followed closely by Mike. Along the way, they encountered several men dressed like guards, who bowed and saluted at the sight of Lulu, but gave Mike a strange look.

The room at the far end had a more ornate and imposing doorway than even before. Lulu bowed and knocked.

“Chief Erin, this is Lulu, may I come in?”

“Lulu, you’re finally here! I’ll open the door right away!”

Iso~ The door to the room opened automatically.

“Wow! A door that opens automatically, that’s amazing!”

“Shhh! This is the room of the organization’s top leader, be polite!”

“┅know!”

Erin is taking care of business, pen in motion.

“Excuse me!”

“Come in! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you…” said Irene, putting down her pen and looking up.

“!!!” Erin gasped, it was the organization’s number one enemy, Mike Printon! Printon!

“Lulu, what are you doing?”

“I’m sorry! I knew I couldn’t let outsiders in… His name is Ryoma, he fainted near my house a while ago, I saved him, but he lost his memory… Anyway, it’s a long story.”

“Loss of memory! Really?”

“Hello! My name is Ryoma, but it was Lulu-sama who helped me pick it up. A few days ago I lost my memory due to an accident, so I’m sorry to say that I’m temporarily borrowing Lulu-sama’s home!

I’m sorry if I’m intruding, if I’m intruding at all!”

“Really don’t remember anything… Lulu, I need to talk to you. Mr. Ryoma, could you please go to the next room?” Irene said softly, and Lulu coaxed Mike in a small voice.

“I’ll be out soon.”

“En, I’ll just go next door and rest first, I’m exhausted from walking up the mountain!”

“Please take your time!”

“Thank you!” Mike saluted Erin and walked out.

“Lulu, you’ve done a great job!”

“What?”

“I haven’t seen you in half a year, but I didn’t expect you to have recaptured the enemy… as expected of a senior cadre.”

“Enemies! Is that a reference to Ryoma? He’s just the fallen one I saved!”

“Lulu, have you lost your memory too? Don’t you know who he really is?”

“┅Don’t know, chief, do you know?”

Unable to believe it, Erin looked at Lulu for a moment.

“Okay! You don’t look like you’re lying, so listen up! His name is Mike, and he’s a hater of the Crusade, and here’s a wanted notice for him.”

Erin pointed to the poster sitting on the table, which featured a subtly drawn Mike and a huge bounty, among other narratives.

“This… is true! What did he do!?” Lulu couldn’t help but exclaim as she looked at the other poster placed below Mike’s wanted poster.

“Ryoma! It’s Ryoma himself!!!”

“He’s one of our most wanted, too, you recognize? No wonder they gave Mike that name.”

“I lived with him for a while when I was in London, and although I have since separated, I still can’t forget him… When I came back to London again, he was gone… Is he still alive now?”

“I suppose!”

“Great… no! What the hell is going on here?”

“┅When you left the headquarters in opposition to our plan, it’s no wonder you didn’t know what was going to happen afterward… things have changed significantly in the past few weeks.”

“Are you… still working on that stupid plan?”

“It was going very well, but then it was sabotaged by Mike and the others, and Ella, Stenna, and Sagittarius all died at his hands, and he and Ryoma killed many of our comrades!”

“┅Who told you to carry out that kind of plan? It’s only natural that you should fail!”

“What cold bloodedness! Losing three cadres in such a short period of time is a bit of a big loss, now I want you to come back immediately for support, and with your ability, you’ll definitely be able to beat Mike and the others.”

“No! That’s crazy! Dominating the world, purging humanity… it’s all against the basic teachings, and I refuse to carry out this plan!”

Lulu firmly rebuffed, and Irene burst into a rage.

“┅You have not changed your mind by now? I have run out of patience, I now order you in the name of the chief to kill Mack first to show your loyalty to the Rosicrucian Order, and then collaborate to realize the plan.”

“┅I can’t do it!”

“Do you know what will happen if you disobey my orders?”

“I don’t care!”

“Yeah? However, you have to realize that Mac is already here, he can’t even fly. If you don’t kill him, someone else will do it for you, and our plan will succeed without you… Not to mention, do you dare to kill me?”

“┅”

This was absolutely impossible, because the cadres of the Rosicrucian Order all had a ‘soul covenant’ with the chief, once they tried to harm the chief, their souls would be taken away first, and legend had it that Irene also had the power of a god that would never be destroyed, so it was simply impossible to succeed.

“┅Okay! You can step back for now! Anyway, Mike is not much of a threat now that he has lost his memory. As for you, whether you want to obey me or disobey me, choose one of the two paths!”

Without a word, Lulu exited Erin’s room grimly.

A couple hours later. Mike was allowed to look around and he wandered over to the research department.

“Mike! Aren’t you Mike? Why are you here…”

“Grandpa, you called me Mike? I’m Ryoma, you’ve got the wrong guy!” Mike asked suspiciously.

“I’m Grandpa Kim, your distant relative… You’re obviously white, not Japanese, so don’t kidnap a bad old man like me!”

“I didn’t abduct you! That name was given to me by the most important person in the world, not my real name.”

“Not your real name? Are you…”

“I lost my memory due to an accident, the name Mike doesn’t ring a bell, you’ve got the wrong person, don’t you?”

“Loss of memory! Nah! I’m not old enough to recognize the wrong person!”

Dr. King says a lot about Mike, but Mike still can’t recall a trace.

“You don’t remember any of it? What can I do? I don’t know what’s going on with Jill…”

Instantly, Mike had some reaction to the name.

“¡Ji… ji… ji?”

“Ah! Come to think of it?”

Mike struggled to think of the memories that remained.

“┅No! I seem to have heard the name before, but I can’t remember the person, just some vague and fragmentary impression.”

“It looks like Jill finally found you in London, so that puts my mind at ease.”

“I really have no recollection of what you’re talking about, old grandpa.”

“It’s okay! It’s a blessing in disguise to meet you here! Mike, take this.” Dr. King opened a drawer and took out a crystalline gemstone carved in the shape of a bullet.

“Grandpa… this is too valuable! Do you really want to give it to me?”

“You must hide it carefully and not let anyone find it, and when you regain your memories, you’ll understand what it does.”

“Okay! But if you do recognize the wrong person, there’s nothing I can do to give it back to you.”

“If it comes to that, the world may already be destroyed.”

“The end of the world? That’s too much bullshit! Anyway, I’ll do what you want and save this first.

“Mike hid the gem carefully in his arms.

“Gramps, thanks for talking to me so much, but if I don’t leave, my friends will worry yo!”

“Okay! You take care!”

After Mike left, Dr. King was alone in his room, brooding.

“┅With that bullet and the Light Medium Blaster Gun, we can crush the Rosicrucian Order. Mike, you have to regain your memory early…”

“Lulu, what’s wrong with you? Your face looks so ugly!”

“┅” Lulu was silent for a moment and looked up listlessly.

“┅Ryoma, let’s go home!”

“Huh? Going back? It’s already late yeah, aren’t you tired?”

“Leave me alone! Go get ready!” Lulu’s sudden anger surprised Mike a bit.

“Okay! Let’s go.”

“Uh…”

The mountain was dark, and Lulu closed her lips tightly as she walked quickly toward the bottom of the hill.

“Is she angry with me?… Lulu, wait a minute!”

It was only at first light that the two returned home.

Along the way, Lulu was silent, and although Mike was full of doubts, he didn’t dare to ask.

He thought to himself that it was probably because he had insisted on going along that he had upset Lulu! In reality, this guess was somewhat correct.

“Why did you let the two of them go?” Creedy asked Erin in disbelief.

“Lulu said she would obey orders!”

“Why didn’t she kill Mike here?”

“She’s probably trying to adjust herself! She wants me to give her forty-eight hours alone with Mike.”

Creedy returned unimpressed.

“Ms. Irene, it’s too easy for her! The situation is so urgent…”

“Creedy, don’t you dare lecture me!”

Erin roared, and Creedy apologized furiously in fear.

“Yes, I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”

“Hahaha! I’m just kidding! I’m not going to get mad at you! You’re so cute when you’re scared!”

“┅Irene-sama, how bad!”

Erin flashed a bright smile that she only showed in front of Creedy, and at that moment she looked like a normal innocent girl.

Within moments, Erin was back to her usual serious demeanor.

“Will Lulu really obey me? Maybe she’ll betray me? Or go against me? We’ll deal with her then! Don’t forget to keep watching, so that even if Lulu lets Mac escape, we’ll still have the others under control. In fact…”

“Actually what?”

“Lulu’s reckless love for Mike makes me a little envious.”

“Huh? What about me? Doesn’t Ms. Irene value me?”

“Of course I value it, but unlike Lulu to Mike, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to sacrifice and give myself to the people I love.”

“┅”

“Huh? Are you angry?”

“No! Just…”

Erin kissed Creedy on the lips.

“Didn’t I tell you that you’re the one I trust the most?”

“Uh…”

“Even if Lulu would betray, I’ve already prepared for everything, don’t worry!”

“Yes…”

There was something odd about Creedy’s demeanor, but Erin didn’t notice.

When Mike and Lulu arrived home, Mike was so tired that he fell asleep.

The next day, Mike was awakened by Lulu’s bright voice.

“It’s already noon lo! Ryoma, you’re such a big lazy pig!”

Lulu, who had been so sullen last night, seemed to have regained her old cheerfulness.

(Her mood has changed for the better! If I ask about yesterday now, I’m sure it’ll upset her again, right?)

The two were eating a slightly late breakfast when Lulu suddenly suggested.

“Ryoma, shall we play in the city today?”

“Huh? Don’t you usually go shopping alone and come back when you’re done?”

“But I’m exhausted from yesterday, so let’s lighten up and enjoy ourselves today!”

(Lulu seems to have put yesterday’s unpleasantness behind her…)

Once Mike thought about it, he readily agreed.

“It’s nice to have a date once in a while!”

“A date? Right! We’ve never been on a date before! It’s been a while since I’ve dressed up properly.”

“Yeah! You always dress plain.”

“I can’t help it! I’ve been picking up shellfish ah! But I have a lot of pretty clothes, so wait.”

By the time Lulu reappeared, she had changed into a silk blouse rolled in lace ribbons and paired the bottom half with a long brown linen skirt.

“Well?”

“Well, it’s cute!”

“Thanks! Let’s go then!”

“Wait, it’s not finished yet!”

“Going on a date today ah! Let’s eat outside!”

“Oi…”

Mike, still chewing bread in his mouth, was pulled out the door by Lulu.

The two enjoyed themselves all day.

Feeding pigeons in the park, strolling through the open-air market, and savoring a lavish French meal for dinner were all part of the sweet world for two.

Lulu looked so much happier than she had yesterday, and Mike shared the excitement.

It was low twilight when the two returned home.

“What a day of fun!”

“Right! Ryoma, it was such a waste of life when we used to stay cooped up at home all the time!”

“But it’s so tiring, go and rest early!”

“Ryoma…”

“?”

He was already bathed in Lulu’s deep kisses as he tried to cover his door.

“The date isn’t over yet…” said Lulu shyly, and Mike nodded knowingly, then picked up Lulu and walked into the dormitory.

“Lulu… is that okay?”

“Why do you ask… Ryoma… I love you!”

Tonight’s moonlight was particularly soft, and the bright moonlight poured over the two of them.

“I love you too! Lulu, when I was at my worst, you took me in… Thank you!”

“Look at me, is my body beautiful?”

“┅Beautiful! So beautiful that I dare not touch it!”

“Really? Actually, I don’t have much confidence… Don’t hesitate… Ryoma…”

Mike began to kiss Lulu’s pink neck, gently caressing the high, jutting breasts and small, cherry-like nipples, sometimes roughly, sometimes gently.

“Ah… uh… Ryoma…”

Lulu’s breathing became rapid, and as Mike kissed her on the lips, his hand slid to the mysterious garden. The fragrant garden was already warm and moist…

“Lulu… I can’t help it anymore…”

“Um… me too…”

The two were tightly joined as one, craving and exploring each other.

As the action became more intense, the air around them became hotter.

“…Ryoma… haaaaaa…”

“Lulu! Lulu!”

“Uh… ah… that’s it…”

Mike kept pumping obliviously.

“Aaah…”

“Ah! Lulu… I… I’m going…”

“Ryoma… ah… ah ah ah~”

Staggered gasps haunted the tiny room.

“If only I could stay like this… It doesn’t matter if I don’t regain my memories… I don’t want anything if I can be with Lulu… I love you! Lulu!”

“Ryoma… me too! We’ll be together forever…”

“Uh, I swear…”

Mike wrapped his arms tightly around a sobbing Lulu and they both went to sleep.

“It’s dawn… Lulu got up so early, it would be nice to wake up and see her beside me…”

Usually by this time, Lulu was already making breakfast, but today she was nowhere to be seen.

“Huh? Could it be noon? Where’s Lulu?”

Mike walked over to the dining room, where breakfast for one was on the table, but Lulu was nowhere to be seen, only a letter sitting where she usually sat.

“Lulu!” Mike exclaimed, opening the letter immediately.

‘Ryoma my love.

I’m sorry I kept you in the dark. Your real name is Mike Printon. Printon, an enemy of the Rosicrucian Order to which I belong. A few days ago, I was ordered to kill you, but I love you very, very much…”

At this point in the writing, the handwriting is swooshed by water stains and is unrecognizable.

‘… I have to leave you now, perhaps we won’t be able to see each other again, I’m sorry! I’m sorry that I couldn’t honor our vows, and although I really wanted to be with you forever, I’m really sorry…”

The handwriting was again blurred and seemed to be wet with tears.

‘… Yesterday─was the happiest day of my life, and I will never forget it! Thank you for spending this time with me! I hope you’ll forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I’m sorry! Goodbye! My favorite Ryoma… Lulu.”

“Lulu… why did you do that?”

Mike couldn’t help but cry out in pain for a long time.

A few hours later, Mike’s emotions calmed down a little, he found a duffel bag on Lulu’s chair, with a note left by Lulu taped to it─’This is the luggage that drifted ashore with Ryoma, I didn’t open it and look through it, these things may be of some help to you.”

Inside the luggage were the light-media blaster, details of the Rosicrucian Order that Lulu had newly put in, and a detailed location and internal roadmap of the House of Elves.

Mike, overcome with emotion, shouldered his bags and left the beach house grimly.

“It’s been so long and there’s still no word from Mr. Mac, we might as well give up!”

“Have you said enough?”

Ryoma’s suggestion immediately angered Jill and Barisia.

In the inn in Bremen. The trio, Ryoma, Jill, and Barisia, are here in Bremen to find out what happened to Mike.

It had been two weeks since the last shipwreck, and Ryoma, having long since lost hope, suggested that the group move on, yet Jill and Barisia still refused to die.

“I’m sorry that this happened, but we can’t stay here forever, we should carry on Mike’s legacy and head to the House of the Elves to fight against the Crucifixion…”

At that moment, a man suddenly walked in the door.

“Excuse me, the Mike you’re talking about, is Mike B. Plimpton?”

“Hey! What’s it to you? Are you full?”

Ryoma then lunged forward with his sword drawn, and when he got a good look at his opponent’s face, he fell to the ground in shock.

“Mr. Mak, Mr. Mak… I can’t believe it!”

“Ryoma! What are you arguing about? Mike! You’re alive!”

“Brother Mike!”

Jill and Barricia cried tears of joy and immediately ran to Mike.

“Mike! Michael… great!”

Jill excitedly kissed Mike, only to have him push her away.

“It hurts! What are you doing?”

“Who are you? Do you know Mike Printon? Plimpton?”

“What are… Mike… what are you talking about!”

“My name is Ryoma.”

“I… I’m the Dragon Horse!”

“What did you say…”

Coldly, Mac drew his gun and pointed it at Ryoma.

“┅Hey! It’s dangerous!”

What should have been a touching reunion with tears and tears is now a scene of chaos and confusion.

Bremen was not far from Lulu’s beach house. Mike had read Lulu’s parting letter only a few hours earlier, and was obviously still in a state of current emotional turmoil.

Jill and the others did their best to calm Mike down, detailing to him what had happened.

“So I’m really Mike B. Plimpton, I’m so sorry! I’ll tell you what happened to me!”

Mike explains one by one how he lost his memory, was saved by Lulu, and met Dr. King, and when Lulu is mentioned, Ryoma becomes particularly agitated, while on the contrary, Mike has gradually calmed down.

“Oh, so that’s what happened… I generally understood it, but… it didn’t feel real at all.”

“Mac… have you really forgotten? I’m Jill!”

“I’m sorry! I don’t remember.”

“What about me?”

Parisia put her face in the air, and Mike shook his head similarly as Jill stated helplessly.

“Then will you stay here first? That… the search for Lulu is on hold for a little while.”

“Waaaahhhh~ My Lulu-yah!!!”

“Ryoma! Will you be quiet?” Jill immediately punched Ryoma like rain.

“Staying here for a day or two won’t help me recover my memory!”

“Please! We’ve been waiting for you!”

“Okay! I’ll stay for now, but I don’t…”

“Don’t say it! I know that you don’t want to forget this memory!”

“┅”

“It’s not like it’s a given that some people who regain their memories forget what happened during the time they lost them, though.”

“Ugh! I’m so depressed~” Ryoma whimpered softly, but was immediately rewarded with Jill’s punches and kicks.

That night.

“Lulu… what are you doing now?”

Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a knock on the door.

“Is Michael… asleep?”

“Ms. Jill? Please come in!”

“Mike, why are you so polite… ugh!”

Jill entered and sat familiarly on Mike’s bed.

“Mike, ring a bell?”

“Can’t think of anything.”

“And… what about this feeling?”

Jill suddenly kissed Mike forcefully and pulled his hand to her chest.

“What… what… is this all of a sudden?”

“I’ve been in a relationship with you for a long time, right from the night we first met, when you tenderly embraced me to sleep together ah…” said Jill as she removed her own clothes.

“I’m… I’m sorry! I’m sorry for Lulu…”

“Your character hasn’t changed, but that’s okay…”

“┅Don’t be like that! Put your clothes on!”

“I don’t want it! Even if it’s just for tonight!”

“Don’t you feel condemned to do such a thing without a foundation of love?”

“┅I don’t think so, as long as Mike is willing, I’m happy.”

“Even if I don’t love you, you don’t mind?”

“I don’t mind, even if you have Lulu on your mind. You were my first love, and I can’t get you out of my mind, even now… you may not feel anything for me, but… tonight, please be with me…” Jill hugged Mike tightly.

“OK? Mack…” hot tears soaked Mack’s cheeks.

“┅But I can’t say ‘I love you’!” Mike also hugged Jill tightly.

“It’s okay… thank you! Mike, I love you! Forever.”

Mike didn’t say a word, his hands gently rubbing Jill’s peaks.

“Haha… Mike…”

Jill was extremely sensitive, and she quivered at the slightest touch from Mike.

Mike’s lips roamed over Jill’s body and teased the two puckered cherries with the tip of his tongue.

“Aaah… Mike… Mike…” Jill called softly to Mike, who stopped momentarily, but Jill, whose emotions were getting high, didn’t notice.

Michael couldn’t help but extend his hand downwards…

“Ah! Michael… no… I’m afraid…”

Mike gently stroked Jill’s stamen with his hand.

“Ah… Haha… Ummm… Ah… Michael…”

Nectar slowly flowed from Jill’s flower center and the garden was already wet and moist.

When Jill was no longer resisting, Michael parted her legs with his body, and as he was about to enter, he…

“Wait… If it’s possible, could you please just think of me? Michael…”

Mike hesitated momentarily.

“┅Thank you! Jill… I love you!”

“Mac…” called Jill with a smile.

Jill closed her eyes as Mike drove the whip in. She couldn’t help but cry out as Mike pushed deeper and deeper into her inner channel.

“Ahh! That hurts!”

“I’m sorry! It’s your first time, are you okay?”

“Mike, you know I’m trying to hold back… Huh! Are you…”

“Eh, I remembered everything, because you had to offer yourself to me to remind me of the past, thank you… for suddenly remembering everything before I entered… I’m sorry!”

“Mike! That’s great…”

“┅Is it okay?”

“I’m so happy! Mike! Go on…”

“Jill, I love you! I’ll never forget you again…”

Mike stretched and swung again, and Jill, though still feeling the pain, no longer resisted and continued to make gasping noises.

“Ummm… ~Ah… Mike… ~Ah…”

“Haha! Jill… uhh~”

Mike climbed to the peak realm, tears of joy welling up in the corners of Jill’s eyes, and the two of them embraced each other in contentment.

The sun rises, and the bright sun once again shines on the earth.

“Jill, thank you! It’s all because of your efforts that I was able to regain my memory.”

“Mike, don’t say that!”

“There’s something I have to tell you frankly… even though I’ve regained my memory,… what happened when I lost it… I haven’t forgotten…”

“Ms. Lulu…”

“┅Well, for her, I still remember her well.”

Jill looked at Mike gravely.

“Mike, so who do you really love now? Don’t worry about me, I want to hear your true feelings.”

“┅Jill, you are the only one I love! I’m not saying this to please you, this is my truest feeling!”

Mike gazed at Jill and replied without hesitation, and Jill’s eyes gradually turned softer.

“Thank you! Mike…” filled with gratitude, Jill kissed Mike deeply.

“Time to get up! Go have breakfast!”

Jill leapt up and resumed her original lively girl’s character.

“Good morning!”

Mike and Jill walked to the restaurant together.

“Why are you guys so slow?”

“Right! What the hell are you doing~”

“Barisia, what’s wrong? In a bad mood?”

“You didn’t feel good when you saw them walk out of the room together did you?”

“Ryoma! No way!”

“Hey! I’ll tell Sir Torrey if you make any more trouble, when all your brothers are bullied by you all the time!”

“Brother Mike… Huh? Wait a minute! It’s not like I told you about your father yesterday!” Barishka looked at Mike suspiciously, which turned to surprise at once.

“Brother Mike! You got your memory back!?”

“Eh, it all comes back to me, including what happened to Barisia when she was a child, I remember it all!”

“Woah~ That’s great! Oooooh~” cried Barisia as she flung herself into Mike’s arms, and Mike lifted her high in the air, just like before.

“Mr. Mike, congratulations! Everyone is finally reunited! After we finish eating, let’s set sail and go save our Lulu!”

“Lulu? Who is it?”

“Mr. Mac, don’t you remember anything during the loss of your memory?”

“As if… it’s all forgotten! All I know is that I have to defeat the Rosicrucian Order…”

Ryoma exclaimed in joy.

“That’s great! I was planning to duel with Mr. Mack after rescuing Lulu… now I don’t have to! Hahaha!”

Jill came up to Mike’s ear and whispered, “Mike, is this okay?”

“Ryoma has always been deeply in love with Lulu and vowed to find her, and since I already have you, I’ll try to forget about her in the best way possible. Besides, I wouldn’t stand a chance of winning a duel with Ryoma!”

“┅Truly ruthless! Lulu is so pathetic! Are you a flower picker?”

“Jill… don’t be sarcastic! It’s hard on my heart too!”

“I was joking! I actually have mixed feelings!”

“Just give me a break!”

Chapter 6: The Fifth Element

“Lulu, I didn’t think you’d dare to come back, you should know what will happen if you betray me, right?”

“┅I realized it long ago!”

In a church-like room in the Elf House, but the atmosphere is eerie.

There was an altar set up in front of it, with magic formations painted on the floor, and flasks, scales, and other equipment around it.

Lulu was nailed to a crucifix painted with rosebuds, her limbs held in place by nails, her blood about to coagulate, and it looked like it had been there for a while.

She was covered with whip marks and stab wounds, and branded with the letters ‘R.C.’, and had obviously been subjected to terrible torture.

Still, even after such brutal torture, Lulu refuses to give in, and Irene is there for a final persuasion.

“Aren’t you going to submit yet? In fact, I still wish you would fight alongside us even now!” Erin caressed Lulu’s cheek.

“What you did… was a big mistake! That crazy plan… will also fail!

“Isn’t it lenient enough that I knew you would betray the organization and gave you permission to spare Mike?”

“Licensed? Why would you do that?”

“┅Because you’re willing to sacrifice everything for love. I’ve never had that kind of passion for anyone… I’m jealous of you!”

“No emotional baggage makes for a realistic plan doesn’t it? You’re not even human!”

Slap! Irene slapped Lulu hard.

“How dare you lecture me? You’re more human than I am aren’t you? I sometimes admire it, and sometimes I hate it.”

“If you hate me, kill me! It’s sad to see a leader who doesn’t know how to love people.”

“Damn… stop provoking me! I won’t kill you. You’re a comrade of the Cross! You must serve the organization well!”

“I’m not anymore!”

“┅I have tried hard to persuade you, but it seems there is no way out.”

“What are you doing…”

Erin took out her knife and stepped forward coldly, cutting off one side of Lulu’s breast, the flesh smashing hard against the floor.

“Waaaahhhhhhhhh!” A miserable scream rang out.

“This way, let’s see if Mike and Ryoma will still love you? Heh! Your soul has been immobilized by me, and you are now begging for life and death.” Erin said coldly, then slipped her hand into Lulu’s wound, deftly passing through her ribs and stopping next to her heart.

“I didn’t want to do it, but you were so stubborn that I had to make you a martyr.”

“Oh…Oh… ~”Lulu clenched her teeth to endure the indescribable pain. Every time Erin’s fingers moved, Lulu’s blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Erin brought her hand up to Lulu’s spine and mouthed the incantation that summoned the elves to descend, in a way that would force the human to merge with the elf’s consciousness. It didn’t actually need to be that cruel, Erin did it just to torture Lulu.

“Awwwwohh.ohh.Oh…” Lulu couldn’t help but scream wildly as she felt an electric shock in her back, and then spit out a large amount of blood as her body convulsed.

Lulu’s wailing stopped and a silence fell over the room. Erin pulled out her blood-stained hand and stroked Lulu’s cheek.

“Sane?”

“Yes… Great Chief…”

“Very well! You have become my great disciple with endless potential, fight for the ideals of the Rosicrucian Order!”

“It’s… to… fight… for… the noble… ideals… of the Rosicrucian Order…”

Following the map left by Lulu, Mike and his group finally arrived near the Elf House.

“It’s finally almost here, but this knife of mine is getting dull and there’s no place to get it.”

Ryoma’s love knife is indeed covered in nicks.

“What a shame! Can’t Ryoma use a normal sword? It’s not too easy to find something like that, yay!”

“Although my longsword is heavy, I can’t use my short sword well!”

“Get someone to grind it!” Jill suggested.

“But katanas are delicate things, do people here sharpen them?”

“That’s why we have to look for it!”

“Ms. Jill, you’re going too?”

“Because you’re a big roadie! Yesterday, you said you were going to look for Lulu’s house, but you didn’t come back for the whole night, so you must not have found it, right? It’s useless to give you the map!”

“Ms. Jill, stop undermining me!”

“It’s rare that I’m so gracious as to accompany you, and you’re still not satisfied?”

“Haha! You guys seem to be getting along better, I’m definitely relieved that Jill and Ryoma are going! I’m going to go prepare the weapons too lo!”

“I’m going too!”

“Barisia, it’s too dangerous! You’d better stay with me!”

“I hate it! Why is it that Jill can go out and play in the street, but I can’t…”

“Bye!” Jill pulled Ryoma off immediately.

“┅Be careful on the road!” Mike urged as he looked at the information Lulu had left behind.

“Beg, nasty~ Huh? Mike-brother, when did you know how to read German?”

“Lulu taught me!”

“But haven’t you forgotten what happened during that time?”

“Skillful things like language are not forgotten.”

“┅Yes?”

“Miss Jill, when exactly do we have to go to the sharpening shop?”

“Just wait a little longer! Uh… which one is better…”

As Barisia had said, Jill was indulging in a shopping frenzy, only at a gentleman’s supply store.

“Try this one!”

“Yes, sir!”

Jill handed Ryoma a leather jacket.

“Haha! I’m so like Mike this way!”

“┅No way! It was the only way to get out, and Mike’s jacket was long torn and tattered… It was the first gift, and perhaps the last…”

“Ms. Jill, don’t be so downhearted!”

“I’m sorry! I need you to comfort me…”

“Sorry to keep you waiting!” The clerk wrapped the jacket and handed it to Ryoma, and the two walked out of the store.

“Let’s go to the sharpening shop!”

“Whew… finally…”

It would take a day to sharpen and repair the blade, so Ryoma had to leave it in the store.

On his way back to the hotel, a woman suddenly approached him.

“¡Wow~ What a strange outfit! Are you a Japanese samurai?”

Ryoma always wore a kimono, so there were often curious inquiries, but few women would strike up a conversation with him, and Ryoma stuttered a bit in his shyness for a moment.

“Yeah, yeah!”

“Huh? Why don’t you have a knife?”

“Uh… just in time for repairs. It’s strange for a samurai not to carry a sword, isn’t it?”

The woman snorted.

“No! Not having that dangerous weapon is just the ticket! Look!”

“!?”

In an instant, Ryoma and Jill had been surrounded by enemies.

Jill was so shocked that she suddenly fainted and was tackled by the enemy.

“Hahaha! Today’s harvest is really something! I was only here to replenish the small parts of the flying ship, but I didn’t expect to find the most important big parts with ease!”

“You…”

“I’m Daisy, one of the senior officers of the Rosicrucian Order. It’s not really luck, I’ve sent people to follow you all the way, and I finally caught the perfect moment! Originally, in order to prevent future problems, it would be easier to kill you, but I’m afraid it would cause a commotion, so now I have to take away Jill and the Shining Star first, hahaha!”

“Wait!”

The woman picked up Jill and disappeared instantly, and the other henchmen took advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd.

“Wow! What am I going to tell Mike?” Ryoma hung his head and fell to his knees in remorse.

“I’m sorry, this time is the biggest failure of my life, I…”

“Don’t tell me you want to commit harakiri or anything like that! That would only weaken us!”

Ryoma hurried back to the hotel to report what had happened. Mike was so angry he wanted to beat him up, but forced himself to calm down.

Ryoma still fell to his knees full of guilt.

“Ryoma, don’t blame yourself! You didn’t have a weapon at that time… By the way, when will the sword be repaired?”

“Tomorrow.”

“After we get back the knife tomorrow, we’ll set out immediately, and we still need your help!”

“Do you forgive me?”

“Don’t say anything about forgiveness, we’re partners! If I was the one who was there, I probably wouldn’t have been able to save Jill.”

“You’re still willing to treat me as a partner… Ryoma is grateful!”

“Stop being a mother-in-law and go to bed! We’ve got a tough battle tomorrow!”

Mike lay back on his bed and sighed deeply.

“Ugh! Why did I say those heavy words to Ryoma? Actually, it wasn’t his fault… I’m just too impulsive… Those guys have captured Jill, and they’re bound to take further action… The Shining Star has been taken away from her, and Jill’s life… No, I can’t think any more wild thoughts! We must quickly destroy their lair and stop their crazy ambitions!”

As Mike was about to fall asleep, there was a knock at the door.

“Is brother… asleep?”

“Barisia? Come in!”

Iso! Barisia enters the room.

“┅Can’t sleep?”

“You couldn’t sleep either! Thinking about Jill-san, right?”

“Yeah! What about you?”

“┅” Barishya looked determined. She turned on her side and began to remove the clothes from her body.

“Brother, look…”

“Barisia! Stop it!”

“I’m not fooling around! It’s too much for you to be so sad over Sister Jill in front of me!”

“What’s going on…”

“Don’t you get it? That’s right! You only think of me as a child, and it’s impossible for you to fall in love with me! But I…”

Parisia stopped her tears, and Mike didn’t know how to pick up where he left off.

“┅Mike brother, just for a moment or so, comfort me!”

“┅There’s really nothing I can do for you! I’ll be fine in a minute!”

Mike stripped off his clothes and carried Barisia to the bed and went straight to the stamen with his tongue wrapped around it.

Mike’s movements looked rough, but were actually gentle and flexible.

“Ah! Brother Michael… why did you… all of a sudden… ah~”

Mike concentrated on stirring his tongue, and Barisia’s breathing became rapid.

“Th… ah… th… th… th… th… th… th… th… th… th…”

Mike licked the petals and buds with the tip of his tongue, even the back garden was getting its first rains.

“Ah! It’s so good… ah… Michael…”

Parisia also took Mike’s erect dick into her mouth and stroked it around to her heart’s content.

“Th… Michael… I’ve turned you on so much…”

Mike sped up his tongue work, and Barisia was not idle as she wrapped her tongue around Mike’s big bird, stimulating every sensitive nerve.

“Mak, Brother Mak… ah ah ah ah…”

Mike still didn’t say a word, the tip of his tongue probing the secret passage.

“Ah… brother, brother… ah ah ah!”

“Well!”

Mike’s face was covered in a huge amount of nectar, and Barricia’s mouth was full of warm, white, cloudy goo.

“ah… ah… hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”

“I’m sorry, Barisia!”

“Why don’t you do it for real for once?”

“No! I still can’t do this!”

“Don’t you like me?”

“That’s not true; isn’t the white stuff at the corner of your mouth proof of that? Barisia, you are a charming woman!”

“Why are you like this?” Forget it! I won’t argue with you, but let me make it clear that after we get Jill back, there will be a war of the women!”

“┅”

“Haha! I was joking!” Parisia laughed out loud, then fell back to sleep.

“┅Maybe she wasn’t just talking… What a pain in the ass!” Mike couldn’t help but feel annoyed at his own rashness just now.

“Daisy, great job! This thing is finally back in our hands!”

Shining Star and unconscious Jill are already in the Elf House.

“No… I was just lucky. Ms. Irene, the Light Medium Cannon and the controllers have been repaired, and again… the restoration of the flying ship is Kreti’s responsibility.” Daisy finished and glanced at Creti.

“Kriti, it’s a bit slow… Do you want me to help?”

“No need! I can finish tomorrow!”

“Go for it! Don’t make Ms. Irene angry again!”

The Red Zeppelin was about to set sail again, but the three top leaders of the Rosicrucian Order – Irene, Creedy and Daisy – were feeling uneasy…

“Mr. Mac! Mr. Mac!” Ryoma called as he ran up the stairs.

“Oh, what’s all this noise? It’s so early in the morning… Bharishya, wake up!

It’s not good for Ryoma to see you like this!”

“No! Let me sleep a little longer!”

“Mr. Mac, my knife is sharpened! Let’s go!”

“Soon!” With Barisia still in bed, Mike had to respond to Ryoma through the door.

“I couldn’t sleep last night, so I ran to the sharpening workshop to supervise the boss’s work, and finally finished it in time for early this morning.”

“Ryoma, then go downstairs and I’ll come when I’m ready.”

“Come on down yo!” Ryoma plopped  plopped  down the stairs.

“This guy,… Ryoma, isn’t afraid of disturbing the other guests! Barishka, get up quickly!”

“All right!”

The three of them left the hotel after a simple meal.

The east is white, and the sky is still hazy.

“Folsom, where the House of Elves is located, is still a long way from here, and there may be dangers along the way, so be careful!”

Mike’s new coat hid the Peacemaker and the Light Coal Blaster, and Mike carefully snapped his fingertips on the trigger.

“We have such a difficult mission this time, I wonder if we can come back alive…”

“So sleepy! Phew, come on, everyone!”

Both Mac and Ryoma looked at each other a little uneasily when they heard Barisia’s yawn-laced shout.

As Mike expected, the Rosicrucian Order is ready to book the realization of its plan to conquer the world today.

“Creedy, is the restoration complete?”

“Daisy, don’t be in such a hurry, just another hour.”

“Ms. Creedy, the repairs have been completed, the next step is the inspection of the various components.” The staff reported from below the plant.

“Moving on to the next action… Hey! Start the steam engine first. If the balloon doesn’t expand all the way, we won’t be able to check some places!”

“Got it! Light the secondary power furnace, and if all goes well, start with the steam engine as the main power source, and then we can switch to light-mediated energy later!”

“Please!”

Everything is in full swing.

Mike and the others have reached the entrance to the Alps.

“┅To climb the mountain path?”

“That’s right! According to this map, this forest is like a big maze, if you’re not careful, you’ll get lost, so be careful!”

“Wow! It’s like a natural fortress!”

“No! It’s man-made!”

“What? The whole mountain is artificially transformed… it’s amazing!” Ryoma marveled.

“Don’t be so impressed! Just go!” Parisia scolded impatiently.

With the steam mechanism activated, the red zeppelin finally enters the final inspection phase.

Erin was giving final instructions, having learned from the previous accident, she had personally participated and checked all the details of this operation and was now skillfully directing everything.

Irene had previously asked the ship’s designer-Daisy-to change the complicated operation process to a one-person operation, but Daisy thought that even Irene could not operate all the devices at the same time by herself, but Irene was quite insistent.

“It seems that Ms. Irene seems to have made it… worthy of being born from the reincarnation of the Master!”

Daisy looked at Erin in admiration, but Creedy was bemused.

That’s when the sirens went off in an emergency.

“Report… the man called… Mike, with a man and a woman, is coming this way, what should we do?”

“What a difficult guy! You guys go ahead and fix it!” Erin was overwhelmed and looked a little impatient.

“┅Erin-sama, you can’t be so careless! I’ll deal with them!” Daisy volunteered to take on the heavy responsibility.

“Wait a minute! Daisy, you can’t leave before the power changeover is complete, so I’ll let Lulu…”

“But Lulu hasn’t regained her ability to move through space yet.”

“Let me go!”

“Huh? Creedy would become so aggressive? What a way for the sun to come out of the west!”

“Daisy! Stop biting like a mad dog, will you?”

Erin, on the other hand, was a hundred percent.

“I don’t want you to leave!”

“I’ll be back before I sail!”

“┅”

“Come on! How can you lead your men like this?”

“┅Be sure to come back!”

“Okay, I’m going!” Creedy gave Erin a light kiss on the cheek and disappeared.

Daisy saw the two of them making out and was as oblivious as ever.

Mike and the others followed the map’s indications and arrived at the Elf House without difficulty.

“Through here is the base of the flying ship, right? But there must be their party inside, Ryoma please!”

“Yes!”

“What about me?”

“Barishya, you have to protect yourself, only you can defend against their spells…”

“I’ll cheer!”

Mac shattered the lock on the door with one shot.

“Cairo!”

The crowd spared their breath, but it was surprisingly quiet inside, not a single guard in sight, and Mac and the gang managed to get into the elf house with ease.

“What’s going on? It’s empty.”

“Look! It looks like those guys are in there! It looks like they’re going up!”

The huge aerial battleship emitted a deafening sound of its engines, as if boasting of its formidable combat power.

“This… this kind of behemoth can also fly into the sky? It must be the demonic magic of the Cross Corps!”

“Ryoma, you have no common sense! If you put a lighter-than-air gas into a balloon, you can lift it into the air, you don’t even know that!”

“What’s that?”

“The principle is…”

“Barisia, there’s no time for that now, just get in there!”

Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind.

“Stop!” Creedy came killing with fury.

“You meatheads, you should have met King Rao a long time ago… I’ll show Ms. Irene what I can do… die!”

“What big talk! You want to win against us with just you?”

“That’s right! Take that!” Creti’s palm immediately released a fireball.

“Wow, is that a spell too?”

“Brother Mike, Ryoma, you guys go first! This guy can cast spells without chanting, he should be very powerful… I can’t protect you!”

“But…”

Creti still continued to keep attacking Barisia, and the protective boundary that she had worked so hard to open up seemed to be on the verge of being breached by her.

“If this goes on, we’ll all be killed… It’s okay with me… You guys go first…”

“Being Ella’s disciple, you sure have some skills!”

“What ‘Ella’? I’m a disciple of Dr. Tunney, and I’m not allowed to speak ill of my teacher!

“Ha! What a great fool you are to defend her!”

Creedy breaks the knot.

“Brother, you’ll get in my way here, go!”

“Okay, okay! You have to come along!”

“Eh!”

Mike and Ryoma stepped onto the gangplank of the flying ship and climbed upward.

“Don’t go!” Flames were released around Creedy’s body and attacked Mike and Ryoma.

“Stop!” Parisia used her full strength to attack Creedy with a water jet.

Creedy was knocked down by the jet of water and lost her footing, sliding down into the abyss below, seemingly with no chance of survival.

“Good job, Barisia! Come on!”

But Creedy’s flames had ignited the ropes that held the flying boat, and when they burned out, the flying boat rose into the air, and Mac shrieked.

“Barisia!”

“Brother Mike, I don’t know the space movement technique, so I can only go back to London to wait for you first, take care ooh!

“Barisia!”

Her silhouette faded, and Ryoma patted Mac’s shoulder reassuringly.

“Mr. Mac, she’ll be all right, we’ve got plenty of enemies before us, and when things calm down, we’ll be able to go back to London and be reunited, and man up and cry!”

“Ah, I know!” Mike wiped the tears from his eyes and regained his fighting spirit.

On the other hand, for Irene, it was a great blow.

“Kriti… how… if I lose you, I…”

Daisy stepped aside to calm Eileen.

“There’s still me! Miss Irene!”

“Kriti… Kriti…”

“Miss Erin, I’m sorry for your loss, this is a critical time, the enemies have infiltrated the ship, it’s time to pull ourselves together and defeat them, to reach Creti’s legacy and fulfill our plan!”

Erin leaned over Daisy, devastated, and after a moment, she stopped her tears.

“They… absolutely… cannot be spared…”

Daisy looked at Irene with cold eyes.

“┅The chief has lost his mind, what measures should I take if necessary?”

It had been quite some time since the Red Zeppelin had departed from Folsom, and the ship was heading towards London. The original intended target was France, but Irene had vowed to raze England to the ground, thus changing the original itinerary.

Mike and Ryoma launched a search through the vast ship, the two of them decimating countless members of the Crusade, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had made their way to the interior of the ship’s vessel.

“By the sound of this, it sounds like this is a powerhouse… Could we be lost?”

“Don’t worry about it, it’s a straight mail route, Ms. Jill should be right over there, but I don’t know what happened to Lulu?”

“She must be on the ship as well, I couldn’t find her in the House of Elves, I think Lulu is still alive as she still has a use for the Cross!”

“How?”

“She has high magical power and is also quite trusted by her subordinates, no matter how dictatorial Erin is, she won’t be able to kill Lulu because she always has to be concerned about whether or not her subordinates will be displeased!”

“Eh, that’s right, Mr. Mac is a worthy detective! But what if she’s already killed Lulu and is deliberately hiding it… no, no unlucky words!”

“Haha! Look on the bright side! How do we move now?”

Suddenly, figures appeared ahead.

“It’s those minions again! So annoying! Let’s get rid of them with a single slash from Ryoma!”

Ryoma, however, stood frozen in place as the corp member made a mechanical sound.

“What… action… to demoralize… you…”

“Lulu, what’s wrong with you?”

Lulu’s eyes were vacant, staring straight ahead.

“I am… Lulu… the highest cadre of the Rosicrucian Order… Anyone who makes an enemy of the Order will be executed!”

Lulu pointed towards Mack and Ryoma, the air formed into a sharp blade and came at them, Mack and Ryoma dodged it alertly, however, it was followed by a fireball attack, which was even more violent than Creedy’s, Ryoma raised his sword to block it, but the blade was reddened from the heat, so the two of them had to go ahead and duck into cover.

“All those who defy the organization will be executed!”

“No, she’s been brainwashed… and, we can’t hide from her.”

“Mr. Mac, are you going to kill Lulu? You obviously haven’t forgotten her!”

“Huh?”

“I know you haven’t forgotten about that time, you lied about forgetting Lulu for my sake.”

Mike was speechless.

“Thank you! Mr. Mike, I hope you’ll grant me a request and let me have Lulu, okay?”

“Ryoma, Lulu is not a commodity, she is a living human being, it’s not a matter of letting or not letting, I think the person she actually misses is you, otherwise she wouldn’t have named me Ryoma, and I’m even a little jealous of you…”

Tears welled up in Ryoma’s eyes.

“Don’t say it again! I understand! Let me block Lulu, and you hurry to the power room…”

“Eh, it’ll have to do! Get Lulu to come to her senses if possible!”

“I know…”

“Cheer up, a man can’t cry, yo!”

“Thank you, Mr. Mike!”

Mike and Ryoma glanced down the hallway, where Lulu still stood in the doorway.

“Kill…”

The way she was lost in thought broke both men’s hearts.

“Mr. Mac, look out!”

“You too!”

Ryoma stepped into the hallway first as Lulu slowly approached him.

“Go to hell!”

Ryoma was injured by Lulu’s spell, but still didn’t flinch as he stood in front of her and turned his head back to call out, “Mr. Mack, go!”

“Ryoma, Lulu… I’ll be right back, so hang in there.”

Mike scurried past them both to the door, and sure enough, there was a straight credo, and he sprinted forward regardless.

“Lulu, it’s me! Don’t you recognize me?”

“Go to hell!”

A water blade shot out from in front of Lulu’s forehead and struck Ryoma’s chest, blood immediately spurted out and leaked all over Lulu’s body.

“Lulu, can’t you remember?”

“Kill you…”

“I can’t hold on much longer… for Mr. Mac… I’m sorry! Lulu!”

Ryoma spits blood from his mouth and struggles to step towards Lulu, who continues to attack Ryoma.

“Uh-oh! I won’t go down that easy! Uh-oh-oh-oh-oh!”

Ryoma swung his sword at Lulu, blood pouring out in large quantities, mixing with the original Ryoma’s blood on his body.

“Lulu… I will… kill you… with my own hands…”

In a flash, Lulu’s eyes glowed.

“It’s so warm… you’re… Ryoma! Ryoma… I miss you so much…”

“Lulu! You remember?”

When their blood mingled, it was so similar to the feeling of white liquid spraying over their bodies after every time they used to have sex, thus awakening Lulu’s memory.

“Come to think of it… my favorite Ryoma… no… an enemy! Kill!”

Lulu’s consciousness was still controlled as she launched a fireball that hit Ryoma’s left chest.

“Is that the end of it? Lulu, let me see your smile one more time, okay?”

Ryoma’s sword also pierces Lulu’s heart, and she spits out blood as she dies.

Ryoma hugged Lulu tightly.

“Lulu… I’ll see you… in the next life!”

“┅Ryoma─My favorite person! We can finally be together…”

Whether the last loving words of the two reached each other’s ears or not, no one knows anymore.

“The big moment has finally arrived! Daisy, are you ready?”

“The transfer of the main power to the light medium was supposed to take place on the ground, and just now it stalled a bit, but there was no danger. Now, it’s up to Ms. Erin to put the Shining Star into the light medium brake herself!”

“The climactic drama is only now about to begin! The divine light will make the most perfect world!”

“Yes! The great plan is about to be realized!”

In the center of the powerhouse stood huge cylindrical steel columns, running straight from the ceiling to the ground, with detailed carvings and a golden glow emanating from the barrels, which were light-mediated brakes.

Erin and Daisy were at the console near the base. Jill was chained to the light-media brake next to the console, her feet cuffed with ankle refiners, and Dr. King lay weakly across the room.

“Dr. Kim, I had asked you to help us, and as a result… your granddaughter, Miss Jill, broke in as well… don’t mess up this time!”

“Why did you bring me here when I couldn’t resist you at all?”

“You’re the one who deserves the most credit, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t invite you to view the spectacle!

It’s a way of comforting you!”

“Who wants your consolation? You executioner!”

“Haha! Thank you for the compliment, the Shining Star is mine to take over lo!” Erin reached for Jill’s chest.

“No, stop it!”

“Why stop it? Doctor, didn’t you make this just for us? Shouldn’t we celebrate together at the moment of completion? Give us back the Shining Star!”

“Jill!”

“Grandpa!”

“It’s enviable to have a grandfather who loves you! You will soon say goodbye forever! Come on over!”

“Ruthless woman, you will not die!” Jill cursed Irene.

“Still talking tough at the end of your life, your lovely face will soon be reduced to nothing lo! It doesn’t match this beautiful jewel!”

Erin scoffed as she gazed at the shining star on Jill’s chest before pulling it off with one hand and holding it tightly in her hand.

“Uh-huh…”

“Huh? So you won’t die right away! Great! Come be a witness to history!”

“┅Irene-sama, do it!”

Daisy began to maneuver the console, and the light-media brakes slowly activated.

“The Fifth Element… Bring us transcendent power!”

Erin placed the Shining Star into the opened hole, and the light-media brakes went into action.

“Haha! Daisy, start displacing the power!”

“Yes!”

Clang! The ship immediately advanced at a high speed after a violent rocking.

“Ah, it’s over!” Dr. Kim let out a desperate sigh while Jill fell into a coma.

“The whole world is in my pocket now! Haha!”

“Ms. Irene, let’s go back to the bridge!”

“No! Wait! There’s another guest… finally!”

The door to the powerhouse was abruptly pushed open.

“You demons! Run that way!”

Mike arrived.

“Jill! I’m coming to save you!”

Kah, kah, kah, kah.

Mike raises his gun and shoots at Erin, but the bullet stops in midair and falls to the ground, Erin opens up a knot at her side, Mike tries to rush at her but is held back by an invisible diaphragm.

“Damn it!”

“It’s useless! This is a boundary made by me with a light medium that is absolutely impenetrable. You came too slowly! I’ve been waiting for you for ages!”

Mike was taken aback.

“What? Did you lure me here on purpose?”

“Grace! I was the one who asked my men to lure you here, and I’ve been watching you.”

“Don’t get too cocky! Where’s Lulu?”

“Lulu’s here!”

Erin pressed a button, and images of Lulu and Ryoma’s gruesome deaths immediately floated in the air.

“No… this must be an illusion! It can’t be! What kind of spell are you doing again?”

“How dare you insult our technology, this is an image of a physical object, forget it! There’s no way a fool can understand these advanced principles.”

“Bastard! Then why did you let me go? You clearly had the chance to do it!”

“Because I hate you so much, you killed my beloved Creedy! I’m going to give you a taste of heartbreak before I send you to the underworld! Doesn’t it hurt you to see Lulu dead?”

“Damn…”

“It’s a shame we didn’t catch the little girl who could cast spells, though; when I went to rescue Creedy, all I found was her body, and that guy should be back in London, right?”

“Do you…”

“As soon as I aim the light-mediated cannon at England Island and send the flyers out before she gets there, the girl might just get lynched to death!”

Irene is holding a flyer with a picture of Barrichelle, which reads: ‘This girl is responsible for the destruction of London!

“Ridiculous, who would believe such nonsense!”

“That’s hard to say! After facing a major disaster, people might just turn their wrath on Barisia! Daisy, prepare the Light Medium Cannon!”

“But it’s a long way from England.”

“Just enough to achieve intimidation!”

“Yes.”

Daisy complied and began to operate the light-media brakes, which made a violent noise.

“Whoa! It’s hot!” Jill, who had originally fainted, suddenly lost her voice and screamed wildly.

“Jill, what’s wrong with you?”

“My back is so hot! Whoa!”

The photocatalytic brake began to heat up, yet nothing unusual could be seen on the surface. Jill, who was tied to the brake, took the brunt of the heat.

“Aaaaahhhh~”

“Erin! Get off of Jill!”

“Ha ha ha! It’s just an after-party!”

“Demoness! What to do? Ah! Grandpa Kim!”

Dr. King slowly crawled to Mike’s feet.

“Mike, keep your voice down, it’s bad if those guys hear you! Where are the bullets I gave you last time?”

“On me, how the hell am I supposed to use it? That thing seems so easy to break!”

“You really aren’t just plain stupid! That’s crystallized stone, of course it’s used in the light-media blasting gun.”

“Cannon is ready, please confirm! Target: Edinburgh. Ms. Irene, please give the order to fire!” Daisy reported.

Edinburgh is a sizable metropolis north of London.

“Fire!”

The light-mediated cannons spewed out violent beams of light that struck the center of the city, and the entire metropolis was immediately reduced to ashes.

“Haha! What marvelous prowess! I’ve finally gotten my hands on it!” l

Daisy, however, was quite uneasy, fearing that Mike had no idea what his next move would be.

“Ms. Irene, hurry up and fix these guys!”

“Hmm, first Dr. Kim, then Jill, and finally it’s Mike’s turn! Killing all of them is the only way to get rid of my hatred! Huh? Where’s Dr. Kim?”

“Found it! Mike, there’s the light medium crystallization stone!”

Daisy arrows forward and stomps on Dr. King’s face.

“What the hell are you playing at?”

! Suddenly, Daisy was shot in the right shoulder.

“Damn it! Why did…”

Thud! Daisy fell to the ground unsupported.

“How dare you break my boundary!”

Erin was shocked, but immediately realized after seeing the gun in Mike’s hand.

“I see, Grandpa Kim, it’s a small light-mediated cannon.”

“Exactly.”

“Dr. King, when are you going to give the bullets to Mike, but that won’t do much good, will it?”

“It’s more than enough to deal with you! Take the bullet!”

“Ah!”

The bullets hit Erin’s thighs, and Mac took aim at the light-media brakes again.

“No!”

Mike ignored Erin’s shouts and shot the light-media brake.

The second, third, and fourth shots finally shattered the Shining Star. The light-media energy inside the filling furnace exploded out of control.

Mike shot the locking reflexes off of Jill and ran over to pick her up. Jill’s back had burned a fiery red.

“Mike, you did it, I…” said Jill with a weak, faint smile, and then she hung down weakly.

“Jill, you can’t die!” Mike hurriedly picked up the pieces of the Shining Star and ran out furiously with Jill in his arms.

“Stop… don’t try to escape… I won’t spare you!” Irene lay on the ground and fought to shoot.

Plop! The light-media brake exploded as the bullet grazed just above Mike’s shoulder.

“So much for your ambitions!”

Mike turned around and shot Erin a couple times, but Erin continued to hold the gun on him.

“Mike, it’s no use! That woman is immortal, run away before she casts a spell!”

Mike snipes Erin’s hand and her gun immediately goes flying.

“Well… you son of a bitch… it’s too early to ruin our plan! This ship will crash soon… and you’ll be buried at the bottom of the sea…”

“I’m sorry for your trouble! We can use the escape device to get away, right!”

“Haha! Don’t waste your time! You won’t find it!”

“To hell with you!”

Mike kicks Erin out of the way and saves Dr. King at the exit, and the three of them escape together.

“I’m so smart and clever, but I’ve lost to you… well… I’m so emotional that I’ve lost my mind… Daisy was right!”

The light-mediated brake exploded, igniting a fire, plunging the steam room into a sea of flames, with lots of cracking sounds…

Mike and the others go to Dr. King’s room, where Dr. King pulls out his stash of small flying boats.

“It’s really sketchy.”

“Don’t be a roly-poly there, get on board!”

The trio hitched a ride on a lifeboat and managed to get out of the Red Zeppelin.

Soon there was an endless sea as far as the eye could see, and the Zeppelin was bursting apart in the distance.

“That was close, Grandpa!”

“Yes, but, Jill she…”

Jill’s hopes of survival seemed slim; there simply weren’t enough shards of the Shining Star to keep her alive.

“This… you should have a way to save her! Grandpa!”

“No way…”

Jill’s breathing stopped.

“Jill! Jill!” Mike hissed frantically as Jill’s eyes remained closed.

Suddenly, a blinding blue light shot out of the sunken ship and shone on Jill’s body, and neither Mac nor Dr. King could open their eyes.

“Whoa! Hasn’t the light media cannon been destroyed yet?”

“No! It’s unbelievable! Mike, open your eyes!”

The debris of the light medium actually began to condense, gradually resuming its original form as a shining star.

“What… what’s going on?”

“The light-mediated brakes are out of control, and the light is causing the fragments to react… This is beyond my comprehension! It is indeed an incredible substance… Perhaps Jill is saved! Michael, don’t give up!”

“I know!”

A minute later, Jill miraculously woke up, and Mike’s anxious face was right in front of her.

“Michael…”

“Jill! That’s great…”

“┅”

Jill planted her lips lightly on Mike’s.

“┅Mike! I love you!”

“Jill…”

Dr. King looked at Mike and Jill with a smile.

The lifeboat finally made it back to England safe and sound.

A few days later, Mike and the gang were reunited with Barisia and Sir Torrey in London.

The ‘bizarre crash of a huge flying ship’ and the ‘Great Fire of Edinburgh’ both attracted extreme attention from the world, but because the cause was unknown and because of the passage of time, they faded into oblivion.

The nightly cacophony of noise ceased, and London returned to its former tranquility… End False Dreams

“Uh… Daisy…”

The sound of arguing came to his ears.

Suddenly gunshots rang out, snapping Erin out of her stupor.

Erin was probably rescued by Daisy back at the Elf House, but at the moment Daisy was in a pool of blood.

“Daisy, what’s wrong with you?”

“That guy… Go, Go, Go…” Daisy’s hand pointed out, and she died of gas.

Erin looked in the direction she was pointing, and it was Creedy, who should have fallen off the cliff and died long ago!

“Ah! Are you awake? That sucks!”

“¡Krati… you’re alive…”

Whoosh! Creedy actually drew his gun and shot Erin through the ankle.

“Wh… what…”

“Stay back!”

“What did you say?”

Creedy’s judgmental attitude was unbelievable to Erin.

“Phew… I’ve disappointed you! It took a lot of effort to make you think I was dead!”

“Are you playing dead? That body is…”

“That was the body of some female troupe member, and I killed her and staged it to look like a fall off a cliff… Okay! Your time to die is coming anyway, so I’ll tell you all the facts!”

“┅”

“I am the discoverer of the ruins of this ‘House of the Elves’, which contained many ancient books, a dried-up corpse, and a stone that could produce gold. The ancient books contained many spells and alchemy, so I came here every day to study them, and after I had learned them all, I got bored and gradually developed an ambition to conquer the world… So, I developed an organization in the name of the owner of the ruins, the Rosicrucian Order, and became one of its senior cadres, and I created you, its leader. I created you.”

“Manufacturing?”

“Yes, you are not a human being, nor are you the reincarnation of Christine Roxanne Roxanne. All I had to do was to transfer the memories of that corpse into your brain, you are just an artificial human being… I made you with a lot of blood, semen, and sacrifices… The nightmares that you often have are the memories of the flask making process…”

Erin asked back with an expressionless face, “Then my thoughts of you and jealousy of Lulu for having human feelings are also created by you Ro?”

“That’s right! It wasn’t easy putting on this show! But you were becoming more and more disobedient to me and started to have a consciousness of your own, so I decided to go it alone and that’s why I pretended to fall off the cliff. Now that the plan to conquer the world has failed, you have no more use for me.”

“I can’t believe you’ve been cheating on me…” snapped Irene, lunging at Kreti.

“You want to fight me with you?” Creedy shouted, then counterattacked with all her might.

Erin, covered in bruises, looked at Daisy’s body on the floor and couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“Umm… Daisy… it’s all my fault…”

In an instant, a beam of red light shot through Creedy.

“Ah! What? The corpse has come back to life…”

The dried corpse absorbed the moisture in the air and gradually took on a breath… After a few minutes, it turned into an old man in the shape of a monk and a wise man, who slowly walked towards Irene.

“Erin, I’m sorry!”

“You are…”

“I’m Christine B. You know that, don’t you? In fact, I was the one who transmitted the memories to you… Creedy doesn’t even know the true meaning of…”

“I know… you’re the founder of the Cross – Christine Roxanne Roxanne! Roxanne Roxanne!”

Erin couldn’t understand why she was so sure, and at the same time, the past came back to her in a flash.

“You are burdened with many sins…”

“┅”

“No need to worry! You’re part of my soul, and when the souls merge, you’ll be resurrected.”

“But…”

“Resentment, love of monks, are only momentary emotions; after resting in peace, everything will settle down, and your agonized soul will soon be relieved!”

“Yes… my soul will soon rest in peace… for the next reincarnation…”

The old monk picked up Irene, and then the two of them were enveloped in a strong light, and then slowly disappeared…

The founder of the Rosicrucian Order, Christine Rosanello, died after more than 100 years. Christine Rosanello died after more than a hundred years on earth and was briefly resurrected from the ruins 120 years later.

However, when will the next resurrection be?… [End of article
