Black Robe: How can Saiki Kusuo not be considered a superpowered individual?

Susan just wanted to leave the dessert shop as soon as possible.

Even though Qi Mu ordered her coffee jelly, she only ate half of it.

He hurriedly walked towards the door.

"Madam, you..."

The waiter looked at Susan, who was rushing around, and asked with some concern.

"It's nothing, I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave immediately."

Susan didn't stop walking; she simply brushed past the waiter.

The waiter watched Susan leave in a hurry, then looked with a puzzled expression at Qi Mu, Lucy, and Butcher in the corner.

"What on earth happened...?"

The waiter remarked with a hint of curiosity.

However, her strong professional ethics prevented her from dwelling on Susan's departure.

At the store entrance.

Pushing open the rosewood door, Susan's heart pounded as she prepared to leave.

The next moment, she bumped into a tall, well-dressed figure in a suit.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

Susan felt like she had bumped into a steel plate. She casually apologized to the person she bumped into and turned to leave.

However, the next moment, a hand grabbed her shoulder.

"Well, ma'am, don't be in such a hurry."

"If you encounter any problems, you can tell me."

"I'll help you solve it."

The somewhat familiar voice entered her mind, and Susan's pupils contracted sharply. Her heart froze for a moment. She turned her head in disbelief and saw the face of a man with slicked-back blond hair.

"...Mr. Homelander, my goodness, I never expected to meet you here."

Susan smiled at Homelander.

"Well, lady from the CIA, it's a pleasure to meet you here."

Homelander gave Susan a faint smile.

"So, please leave what you have with you, okay?"

"I'm in a hurry, I need to find Qi Mu."

----------------

Inside the dessert shop.

Susan is back.

He was dejected and his face was ashen.

Behind her followed a man in a sharp suit, wearing a mechanical watch he'd swiped from an employee, and sunglasses.

Butcher glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and the words he wanted to say to Becca caught in his throat.

"Butcher? What's wrong?"

"...Homelander, he's here."

Butcher spoke to Becca in a low voice.

"Oh, him? It's alright, he won't hurt you. Just move closer to Qi Mu and Sa... Lucy."

Becca breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought Butcher had offended Lucy.

"......"

Butcher didn't continue speaking; his gaze fell on the man dressed in formal attire.

The air fell silent at that moment.

Qi Mu and Lucy sat on the inside, while Butcher leaned against the outside wall.

Susan stiffened and sat back down in her seat, while Homelander leaned against another wall.

"Hmm, Saiki, good afternoon."

Homelander felt a little embarrassed, and he greeted Qi Mu.

Good afternoon, John.

Qi Mu nodded to the Homelander.

"Who is this person next to you...?"

Homelander's gaze fell on the white-haired Lolita next to Qi Mu. Although he had seen her on the surveillance footage, he could not find any information about her in Vought's information department.

She seemed to exist as if she didn't exist.

"Her name is Lucy, uh..."

Qi Mu hesitated whether or not to tell John Lucy's true identity.

"Hmph, be glad you got to see me, it's your honor."

Lucy stood up, crossed her arms, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

"I am the Lord of Hell, the Master of the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons, a great being standing at the pinnacle of all demons and gods—!"

"You may call me—Satan."

As soon as she finished speaking, crimson blood wings extended from behind Lucy, shattering the glass window behind her.

.......

After apologizing to the waitress, Saiki used [time reversal] to repair the glass window that Lucy had broken.

"Waaaah, Qi Mu, you've gone too far..."

Lucy covered her head and sat down in a chair; the blood wings behind her had already retracted.

Qi Mu withdrew his hand, while Susan, standing to the side, simply kept her head down, not daring to say or ask anything.

"So...this Satan..."

"You can call her Lucy."

"Is this Lucy your friend?"

Homelander looked at Lucy with some surprise, and then asked Qi Mu.

"...Well, I guess so."

"What do you mean by 'consider'?"

Lucy protested loudly from the side, but after Qi Mu raised his hand, she covered her head again.

"Wow, this is great to have friends my own age."

Homelander wasn't jealous of Lucy; on the contrary, he was happy to see Saiki make friends with people his own age, and all of them were superhuman.

"Actually, we're not the same age..."

Qi Mu's eyelids twitched, and he muttered softly.

"OK, waiter, give me a coffee pudding too. Qi Mu, would you like another one?"

The man from the motherland asked Qi Mu.

"Okay, one more, please."

Qi Mu nodded.

Homelander unceremoniously sat in the seat that Butcher had just been sitting in.

He turned and looked at Butcher with a provocative gaze.

Butcher: ? ? ?

Butcher looked at the Homelander who seemed to be provoking him, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

"Homelander, you bastard..."

"Listen, Butcher, Qi Mu is here. I don't want to make things worse, okay?"

Before Butcher could utter his swear words, Homelander appeared behind him.

He whispered in Butcher's ear, his tone sincere.

"If you want to insult me, we can find a time to have a proper fight."

"You bitch, give me back Becca..."

Butcher took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and spoke softly to Homelander.

"Becca? I didn't stop you."

Homelander snatched the phone from Butcher's hand and said:

Hey, Becca.

"...Homelander, what are you trying to do now?"

Becca sounded exhausted on the other end of the phone.

She had a premonition that Homelander, this giant baby, was about to cause trouble again.

"Emmm, how should I put it, it seems like William wants to snatch you away from me."

Homelander spoke to Becca.

"Shit, do you believe I'll shove your head up your ass?"

Becca's cursing came from the other end of the phone.

Homelander's expression froze. He twitched his lips, shrank back, and handed the phone back to Butcher.

"Fine, you can talk to Becca yourself later. You've already got her number, haven't you?"
