Chapter 91: Goddess ReturnsAuthor: Geraint
Several months later
Ichika just finished building his new android—a beautiful young woman wearing a long skirt maid outfit, with lilac-silver hair and violet eyes.
"Hey, Ichika. What's with this android? Her looks piss me off. Why are her boobs so big? Are you showing us the type of girl you like?" La Brava glared down at the android, who was just lying on the bed.
"Stop getting jealous over a robot, Hecker! This is the new body for Little Bel. She was the one who requested it."
"Now that you mention it, she suddenly stopped working and didn't wake up. I tried repairing her, but found no problem. It's like she uninstalled her own program."
"Yeah."
Roboco's sensors suddenly lit up.
Father, something strange is happening.
"So, she's starting."
"Huh? But we haven't installed anything yet!" La Brava looked confused.
"I already did, using parts from Little Bel. From now on, we'll call her Belfast — Bel for short, the adult version of Little Bel."
The new android stopped glowing and woke up.
"Uuuu..."
"Welcome back, Bel."
Opening her eyes, she glanced first at Ichika, who smiled at her, then looked around.
"Good morning, Ichika, everyone," she greeted.
"You remember us?" La Brava was surprised; she thought Bel's memory was corrupted.
"Of course. Manami and Roboco, right? Also everyone here in Might Tower—Toru, Momo, Nejire, and Himiko."
"Amazing! You remember all of us!"
"I'm glad Ichika is still alive. I thought we lost him." Belfast smiled, glanced at Ichika, then sat up and tried to stand.
Ichika held her hand to help her balance.
"I'm fine now."
Belfast tried to walk alone but fell; Ichika caught her. She took advantage of the moment and hugged him affectionately.
"I'm so happy."
"Oi!" La Brava thought she was still Little Bel—no changes in her program.
A day later
"Ichika, why the heck are you wearing that suit?"
Heavy breathing~
Ryukyu gave him a strange look seeing him in black armor. Today, they were patrolling the city district together.
"I have no choice. I can't transform anymore! I have to rely on this tall armor to hide my younger form."
"You should probably retire. Once you enter high school, you won't have time to report for duty."
"I'll be fine. I work independently like Rumi anyway." Ichika shrugged, not thinking much about it.
"Speaking of Mirko, she's currently raiding a villain hideout in Saitama."
"She'll be fine. I believe in her."
They walked and talked.
"Aren't you hot inside that armor?"
"Nope, it has a cooling system, like air conditioning. Amazing, right?"
"Yeah, but why does it look like a villain's armor? It's intimidating."
"Just my taste."
"You're weird. Instead of becoming a model hero, you're going the opposite way."
"I'm not really kind, but I'm not evil either. Call me a bad boy if you want."
"Oh, really?"
Ryukyu stared with an indifferent expression.
"Of course—Huh?"
Ichika spotted several men in suits arrogantly walking on the street. Recognizing the man in the middle, he grabbed Ryukyu's arm and pulled her.
"Hey!"
He covered her mouth to prevent noise, checking if they noticed.
"Hmmp!" Ryukyu struggled but he was stronger.
"Ssssh! Stop making unnecessary noises. We found our target; he has ties to big-time drug dealers," Ichika whispered, calming her. He let go.
"I thought you were going to do something to me."
"Oh, maybe I'll try next time."
"I'll crush you, Falcon!" Ryukyu glared.
"I'm kidding."
They tailed the men into an alley and found an entrance door. The men looked around before entering.
"We need backup," Ryukyu suggested.
"No, we check inside first." Ichika pressed a device on his wrist and his armor lit up.
"Huh?" Ryukyu was shocked as his armor transformed into an ugly, overweight bald man in a formal suit.
"What is that?" Ryukyu looked disgusted.
"Ugly Bastard Armor Suit Mark III. It's to counter perverted schoolgirls stalking me. Amazing, right?"
"I want to question your sanity." Ryukyu stepped away intimidated.
"It's effective against shotacons."
Ryukyu looked uncomfortable.
"Those hooligans will recognize you. You need a disguise."
Ichika teleported clothes to her.
Ryukyu blushed as he watched.
"Turn around!"
"Okay."
After changing, she wore a red dress and a long blonde wig covering half her face.
"This..." she was embarrassed.
"You look beautiful."
"Shut up!"
"It's such a waste."
"This is who I am! I won't change!"
Ichika smiled disturbingly behind his ugly armor.
"Don't mind it. You have to be feminine because you're my wife on this mission."
"Huh?!"
"Be professional. It's for infiltrating."
"Why not call the police?"
"You don't know if they have spies in the police. The leader escaped before the last raid."
"Why so untrusting?"
"I'm cautious. We just need to spot the leader; then I'll call the authorities. Trust me."
"Ugh... Fine!"
"Okay, let's go."
Ichika grabbed her hand, making her shiver and get goosebumps. She had to imagine his real appearance.
"Your name is Yuuko, and you call me 'Darling' since I'm your husband."
"Ugh..." She grew paler.
Ichika frowned.
"You shouldn't judge someone by appearance."
"I know, but... this is too much. If someone looks like that, they should at least try to improve."
"Hey! What matters is the inside. No one will marry you if you're that judgmental."
"I'm not marrying anyone!"
"Eh? Such a waste."
"Leave me alone!"
"I heard you turned down seven marriage interviews in the last three months."
"I told you no! Stop pushing me!"
Ichika sighed as they opened the door and entered.
Downstairs, they found another entrance. They peeked inside.
"Huh?"
Inside was a smoky dark room filled with people drinking, partying... and some having sex wildly on the sidelines.
Ryukyu suddenly dropped to her knees, breathing heavily.
"Yuuko, are you okay?"
"I don't know… my body feels hot." Her face flushed; she clutched her chest.
"Darling..."
Ichika was confused but saw a screen inside his armor showing data.
The smoke contained an aphrodisiac causing sexual arousal.
"Sh*t! Hold on, Ryukyu. Just endure until we see the leader," he whispered, and they entered.
The people inside were busy and ignored them due to their disguises.
When they reached another room, guards surrounded them.
Ryukyu was weak; Ichika shielded her and scanned around.
"Hello there."
