"But it looks like we're late. To have such strong combat power despite being a Proxy... is this what a legendary Proxy is? In that case, is Belle also..."
"No, Belle really is just a weak girl. Although she can be very scary sometimes..."
"Eh, is that so?" Caesar was a bit surprised, but then she thought, Could it be that Wise is the muscle, and Belle is the tech, just like our Sons of Calydon?
"Since we've found our people, let's head back," Wright suggested.
Hearing this, Caesar seemed to remember something and nodded. "Mhm, Wright is right. Lucy was so excited about meeting Phaethon today that she couldn't sleep all night."
It seemed Caesar had unintentionally said something major. This was something Lucy herself must never find out.
"This is bad!"
"Hm? What's wrong, Billy? Is the car broken?"
"Mhm, not exactly. The car can still barely start, it's just..." Billy pointed to the front passenger seat of the truck. It was already dented and deformed, and the seat itself was twisted. It was clearly no longer usable.
"Wow, the passenger side is a complete wreck. Wait, so for this little brother to have survived is really quite amazing!" Wright pushed up his sunglasses with some astonishment.
Caesar, on the side, patted her chest magnanimously. "Don't worry, these are all accidental damages. I won't make you pay compensation."
"Uh, thank you very much, Big Sis Boss Caesar, but let's just hurry back for now."
"What's the big deal? I'll just give Wise a ride back!" Caesar pointed to the seat behind her, signaling Wise to get on. The latter was still a bit hesitant.
"What's wrong? Hurry up and get on! Or do you not trust my driving skills?"
"No, I'm coming."
Given Caesar's enthusiasm, Wise couldn't refuse. He immediately sat behind her, looking for something to hold onto to ensure he wouldn't fall off. But looking around, it seemed that other than Caesar's soft waist, there was nowhere else to grab! (Don't mind the fact that Caesar's motorcycle doesn't seem to have room for two people.)
"Ready? Let's go!" After saying this, Caesar twisted the throttle. In his haste, Wise could only wrap his arms around her waist. He could then clearly feel her body tremble slightly. The front of the bike also wobbled violently, but fortunately, Caesar's skills were superb, and she quickly stabilized the bike without any accidents.
Oh no, oh no! I was so happy for a moment that I completely forgot about this. What should I do now? This is the first time a boy has held my waist! His hands are so warm, I can feel it so clearly. Why didn't I realize the fabric there was so thin before? Speaking of which, there seem to be similar scenes in manga and novels, like when the heroine has to give the hero CPR for some reason...
[Caesar's Affection increased by 5 points. Current Affection: 65 points. Obtained 200 Emotional Value. Current Emotional Value: 16,900 points.]
On the way, besides the scenery, Wise could only observe the interesting and cute thoughts in Caesar's mind. A short while later, the group finally arrived at Wildfire Town.
When Caesar braked and stopped the motorcycle, Wise inevitably bumped into her back. Fortunately, his hands had been holding onto her lower abdomen the whole time. Otherwise, he might have accidentally slid to some places he shouldn't have touched.
"Ah, Caesar and Wright are back! And Billy and... eh? Why is Wise here too?" Bernice looked at Wise with some confusion, but then, as if realizing something, she slapped her right fist into her left palm in a moment of enlightenment.
"Oh, I get it! Did Boss Caesar finally figure it out and decide to kidnap little brother Wise to be her husband?!"
"Idiot! How is that possible! We're in the Outer Ring! Not some actual savage society!"
"Ehehe~" Bernice stuck out her tongue, trying to be cute and get away with it.
The one who had angrily rebuked her was a blonde girl wearing a helmet with metal spikes, a pair of wild boar tusks as decoration on her chest, and holding a spiked club. The girl's attire exposed her stomach, and she was followed by three little Pig-people.
"So you're the one who gave Caesar that manga before? I never thought you'd also be Phaethon. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lucy. Just skip the full name and call me that." Lucy came before Wise, her eyes looking up and down at the boy she had often heard about from Caesar. He was indeed very good-looking, and his personal abilities were also very strong. He was truly an outstanding individual.
"That's right, Lucy! I was very surprised when I first found out too. Especially since he just took care of a lot of Ethereals by himself. He's so amazing, just like a character from a light novel."
"Wait a minute, Caesar, you don't mean you want to..."
"Let me formally introduce us. We are the Sons of Calydon, a motorcycle gang from the Outer Ring. I am the current leader, Caesar. If you don't mind, would you like to have a match with me later?" Caesar's eyes were filled with excitement as she looked at Wise.
Lucy, beside her, covered her forehead with her hand, a look of "I knew it" helplessness on her face. "Idiot! Don't always be thinking about fighting! Think about the important business at hand!"
Before Wise could answer, Lucy had already scolded Caesar angrily. The latter scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly. "Lucy, don't be in such a hurry. I was just thinking of settling this first before we talk business. Hey! Alright, alright, I get it. Don't take out your whip! It's very embarrassing in front of an outsider."
After the farce, Caesar once again formally addressed Wise. "Sorry about that, for making a fool of myself. The reason we invited you here today, little brother Billy should have already told you. The Sons of Calydon would like to ask for your help. As for Perlman, whom you're concerned about, his airship was smashed to pieces when it landed in the Outer Ring. Although he was lucky to be alive, he was also seriously injured and hasn't woken up yet."
"What?! Perlman is in your hands?!"
"That's right. What, didn't Lucy tell you before?" Caesar looked at Lucy with some confusion. The latter gritted her teeth in anger again.
"Caesar, are you an idiot? The negotiations haven't even started, and you've already handed over such an important bargaining chip?!" Love makes people lose their minds. Lucy felt she was beginning to understand this phrase. Although, Caesar was an idiot to begin with.
"Negotiations? Bargaining chips? Oh my, Lucy, you're talking like a petty person again. Using someone's weakness against them has no domineering spirit at all. Besides, he's Wise! I trust his character." Caesar turned her head and gave Wise a small smile as she spoke.
