"Wh-what?!" Mosquito Girl covered her mouth, her large eyes wide with disbelief and shock.
She didn't know Child Emperor personally, nor did she realize that Child Emperor was an S-Class Hero of the Hero Association. Her gaze darted between Kaito, Child Emperor, and Saori, who looked embarrassed, and she stammered:
"Bo…Boss? You were only out for a little while, and your child is already this big?!"
She counted on her fingers, and countless melodramatic plots flashed through her small mind.
Fubuki's emerald eyes narrowed into dangerous slits. Her Fubuki Group's intelligence network was not to be underestimated; she already knew Child Emperor's background by heart.
Child Emperor was clearly just a genius young fan who almost fanatically adored Kaito, so how could they be related by blood?!
The only explanation… could only be this charming, slender single mother in front of her.
Moreover, as far as she knew, Kaito didn't even know this woman before he left!
In just a few hours, she could make Kaito willingly acknowledge her, making him a father to her child?
This method… this efficiency… her rank was terrifyingly high!
A strong sense of crisis instantly seized Fubuki's heart. Her gaze, sharp as a knife, "swished" and fixed on Saori.
This graceful OL beauty was flustered by the burning gazes of the other women.
"N-no, it's not like that!" Saori waved her hands frantically, accidentally stepping on a loose stone with her high heel and stumbling.
This action made her ample chest shake violently, causing Fubuki's eyes to twitch.
Even Do S, who was tied up, wiggled her hips closer little by little.
Her pretty face, marked by two scars, was full of a desire for gossip, and her voluptuous curves, constricted by the ropes, outlined alluring arcs as she twisted on the ground.
"Quick, tell me, tell me!" she urged excitedly. "Was it a one-night stand after drinking, where the raw rice was cooked into a meal? Or did a hero save a beauty, and she offered herself in return? It couldn't have been an impulsive moment in the laboratory, could it…"
The more she spoke, the more outrageous she became, her eyes shining frightfully.
"You, that's enough!" Kaito rubbed his forehead helplessly, interrupting Do S's absurd conjectures.
After his detailed explanation, the women finally understood.
It turned out that Kaito and Saori had no special relationship. He had formed a family contract with Child Emperor in the form of an "adopted son" to help this little fan improve his strength.
Although the final result might appear similar, with another sister joining the family, Saori's threat level in the eyes of the other women was significantly reduced.
"So that's how it is~" Mosquito Girl patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, her pink long hair gently swaying.
She hopped over to Child Emperor, curiously examining the new "young master."
Do S, hearing the phrase "becoming a family member can greatly increase strength," almost drooled from the corner of her lips.
She twisted her body like a beautiful snake on the ground, inching her way to Kaito's feet.
Her ample chest, almost spilling from the ropes, pressed tightly against Kaito's trouser leg. She looked up and spoke in a syrupy sweet voice:
"Daddy please take your daughter in your daughter will definitely be filial to you~"
As she said this, she intentionally blinked her watery big eyes and pouted her lips slightly, looking exactly like a well-behaved daughter seeking affection.
"You!" Fubuki was already seething with anger, and seeing Do S's provocative behavior made her even more furious.
Her eyes gleamed with cold light, and her psychokinesis instantly condensed into a crimson-gold long whip, which cracked beside Do S, kicking up a shower of gravel.
"You want to recognize a daddy, do you?" Fubuki sneered, gently lifting Do S's chin with the tip of her whip. "Today, I'll teach you properly what 'house rules' are!"
With that, her psychokinesis transformed into an invisible large hand, lifting the screaming Do S to a nearby broken lamppost, where she was hung in an "A" shape.
Immediately after, whip shadows rained down.
"Ah! Lighter!"
"Crack!"
"Daddy, help!"
"Crack! Crack!"
"I was wrong…Woo…"
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The rhythmic sound of the whip and Do S's melodious screams formed a strange, chaotic duet.
Kaito's mouth twitched, and he decided to pretend not to hear.
He turned to Child Emperor, who was making the final assembly of the mecha.
"Isamu, there's no hurry with the support for now," he said.
Child Emperor looked up, his small face full of inquiry.
"Does Daddy mean…?"
"To catch the bandit, first catch the king… let's go directly for the big one."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Black-Eyed Psykos, who had been quietly watching the show.
The blue-haired girl with round glasses held a bag of potato chips she'd found from who knows where, munching happily as she observed Fubuki whipping Do S.
Black-Eyed Psykos noticed Kaito's gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. The potato chips in her hand scattered with a "whoosh."
Then, an indescribable surge of excitement welled up in her chest like a rising tide.
She knew the moment of reckoning had finally arrived.
It was time to settle scores with her main body and the other clone.
"I know where they're hiding! 1500 meters underground in Z City. Turn left at the third ventilation shaft, there's a secret door!"
She gestured excitedly, a flush of excitement coloring her pretty face. "Take me with you, I guarantee we'll catch them!"
Kaito nodded in satisfaction and stepped toward Pochy, who lay on the ground playing dead.
This Dragon-level monstrous dog's recovery ability was indeed astonishing; in just a few minutes, the injuries inflicted by Shura Giant had mostly healed.
Sensing Kaito approaching, Pochy's ears twitched, and he buried his head deeper.
"Don't play dead." Kaito nudged Pochy's plump hindquarters with his toe.
Pochy trembled all over, cautiously raising his massive dog head. His six crimson eyes were filled with fear.
Kaito pointed to the limply lying Reincarnated Phoenix Man.
"Keep an eye on him."
Pochy immediately understood, pouncing and pinning the birdman beneath him, making him roll his eyes.
"Woof!" (Mission accomplished!)
He wagged his tongue ingratiatingly, his tail spinning like a propeller, a submissive whine rumbling in his throat.
Meanwhile, Child Emperor had already used psychokinesis to manipulate nearby steel, quickly assembling a silver mecha over ten meters tall.
The mecha's streamlined outer armor gleamed with cold light, its head design clearly inspired by Kaito's Shura Giant, and its chest was inlaid with an energy core shaped like an Arc Reactor.
"This is the 'Emperor's Orb,' completed with temporary rushed work," the little genius proudly introduced. "Although it can't compare to Daddy's Shura Giant, its speed can reach Mach 20!"
Kaito reached out and ruffled his head, then turned to Fubuki.
"I'll be back soon," he said.
His gaze swept over Do S, who was hanging tearfully from the lamppost, and he added, "Don't break her."
Fubuki snorted, but her whip-wielding motions softened slightly.
As the mecha's thrusters lit up with blue light, the 'Emperor's Orb' shot into the sky like an arrow from a bow.
Black-Eyed Psykos lay propped against the observation window, the city lights below reflecting in her glasses. A darkened smile graced her lips.
"Main body… this time, it's my turn to hunt you two~"
