My front door leads to a comic strip

The next morning, the police officers gathered in the office, yawning, to gather intelligence.

They chased the drone all night, racking their brains but still couldn't figure out where it came from.

They suddenly appeared on the surveillance footage, flying aimlessly, as if they were toying with them.

Even if they were captured after landing, they were mostly in deserted wastelands. Naturally, no useful information was found.

Place of manufacture? Made in XX is now the norm.

While they were complaining to themselves, Gu Yuan had already left the alley and was standing quietly on the streets of Japan.

He put his hands in his pockets, looking around casually as if he were just a passerby.

Office workers and students chatted and laughed as usual, without any signs of tension on their faces.

It was as if what happened yesterday had never occurred.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan shook his head almost imperceptibly:

"The island nation's higher-ups probably don't really believe that supernatural powers exist in the world, which is why they're keeping this information hidden..."

"That's fine too. Although I don't know how long we can keep this a secret, it's in my best interest."

"They want the extraordinary, so I'll give them the extraordinary, provided they can grasp it."

One was willing to hit, and the other was willing to be hit. Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's brows relaxed, and the guilt in his heart dissipated a little.

He turned and walked toward the nearest knife manufacturer.

Because of its mobility, the weight of the weapon is not very important; sharpness is the primary concern.

If you can decapitate a monster with lightning speed, even the most powerful monster will perish.

The same applies to this side of the world.

In windy weather, speeds of 50 meters per second are too fast for even the most vigilant bodyguards to keep up with.

"What a pity..." Gu Yuan clicked his tongue lightly, a complex emotion flashing in his narrowed eyes.

"If I did something like this, I would definitely be wanted by the police. I'll just treat it as a last resort after the fact."

The means of mutual destruction can be avoided, but they cannot be absent; the appearance of the boots provided just the right opportunity.

With these thoughts in mind, Gu Yuan quickened his pace and swiftly arrived at his destination.

There are many knives in the warehouse, but some of the genuine knives that have been opened require relevant certification.

Gu Yuan was well-prepared because he had previously learned about the relevant laws in Japan.

He pulled out a chef's certificate—of course it was fake, but it was so well-made that it was indistinguishable from the real one, except that the person in question could not be found.

As a businessman, the knife seller didn't care about such things at all. So he only glanced at it before looking away and took out a steel knife for processing animals according to Gu Yuan's needs.

The blade is 32 centimeters long and has an HRC hardness of over 60, which is military grade and should be sufficient to deal with dragons.

For longer ones, we might have to go back to China to order them.

After paying 100,000 yen and buying two swords, Gu Yuan left the warehouse.

He carefully wrapped the knife, stuffed it into his backpack, then stood by the roadside, opened his phone, glanced at the offline map, and prepared to move to another location.

"We can't stay in that alley anymore. Once is one thing, but the second time, the police will definitely set up a checkpoint there."

"If I go in, I'll most likely be targeted. The abandoned school in Yomachi is a good option..."

Ta-da…

With his fingertips lightly tapping on the screen, Gu Yuan rapidly constructed a panoramic view of the school using 3D images.

"It's secluded, so even if demons appear, they won't harm passersby. Plus, it's backed by mountains, making it easy for me to leave."

Besides its remote location, another reason is the abundance of buildings.

Even if I failed to escape in time, I wouldn't be discovered immediately.

With this in mind, Gu Yuan took a deep breath, steadied himself, and immediately headed towards the school.

……

……

Milie Alde rubbed her sleepy eyes as she woke up, and she heard footsteps outside.

She stretched and got up, her pajamas slipping off her shoulders.

Gu Yuan lifted the tent flap, his gaze instinctively fixed on it, and then decisively closed it.

No... where's the chest binder?

Oh, I forgot, it's morning, nobody would wear that.

With his back to the tent, he raised his hand to press his temples, exhaling several breaths to barely dispel the chaotic thoughts in his mind, but some impressions still lingered.

"You're back? Why don't you come in?"

The sound of Milie Alde dressing echoed inside the tent.

Gu Yuan did not respond; he simply took off his backpack and took out a knife.

He ran his fingers along the cold blade, then casually swung it around, trying to distract himself.

"Put your clothes on first. By the way, do you need me to get you some human underwear? Aren't brabands stuffy?"

I vaguely remember that this thing could restrict development, similar to foot binding.

The sounds inside the tent paused for a moment, then a questioning voice came through:

"Boring? A little."

"What is underwear?"

Gu Yuan almost forgot that she didn't understand modern things very well, so he had to explain it to her briefly and decided to bring her some samples next time.

Visually estimated – D or above.

After explaining, Millie Alde walked out of the tent, looking radiant.

Upon seeing the two knives in Gu Yuan's hand, she was slightly taken aback, pursed her lips, and whispered her congratulations.

The patterns on it sent chills down her spine; it must be a masterpiece crafted by a master. She then looked up and asked:

"Shall we start conquering that dragon today? I did some scouting when you left yesterday, and it's much weaker than that demon."

"Do you need my assistance?"

"...No need." Gu Yuan thought for a moment, feeling the gentle breeze blowing in his face, and composed himself.

"Just watch from the sidelines for now. If I really can't beat them, then you can use your wind magic."

He was worried that the speed was too fast and he would lose control in a short time, after all, the battle was not taking place on a vast grassland.

"Mmm." Miliearde nodded gently.

After quickly packing their things, the two headed towards the nest.

……

Inside the cave.

bass!

The sensation of the blade piercing flesh was exceptionally satisfying. Gu Yuan swung his blade to sever the dragon's tail, and with a flick of his wrist, he felt no effort at all.

Modern alloy knives are still too over-the-top.

"Aww!"

The dragon let out a piercing scream, frantically scratching at the ground as it retreated as if fleeing.

Although it's called "long," it's really just a large lizard.

Therefore, Gu Yuan showed no fear when he took action.

Whoosh!

In no time, a small, flowing river of blood appeared on the ground. After letting out a miserable cry, Long collapsed, his eyes filled with resentment.

Fueled by rage and the thought of death, it mustered all its strength to swing its claws at Gu Yuan, only to have them easily deflected by the blade with a crisp "clang".

This strike, which could have shattered rocks, didn't even cause the blade to chip.

A flicker of despair crossed the dragon's eyes.

"Bye now."

Gu Yuan pushed off the ground with both feet, leaped high into the air, and with a swift and clean movement, severed the head with a single stroke.

Boom!

His head hit the ground, and blood spurted out, some of it splashing onto Gu Yuan's face.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, his brows furrowing slightly.

—I need to change my clothes, but that's the most urgent thing right now…

"Tap, tap."

Millie Alde strode in, her gaze first meeting Gu Yuan's before both of them turned toward the depths of the nest, their eyes filled with anticipation.

The treasure is right there.

Unboxing!

Hopefully, this will be a huge success.

Even if you don't have anything usable, you can exchange it with the priest for something usable.

He currently lacks magical tools to change his appearance or to become stealthy.

Gu Yuan followed suit, pressing his hand on the pendant on his chest and closing his eyes as if in prayer, trying to improve his luck.

May the goddess protect you.
