I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

She couldn't accept it, absolutely couldn't accept it! She had fought to challenge the strongest, and she couldn't accept being toyed with like this!

However, no matter how angry she was, at this moment, she had no way to defeat the elusive man in front of her who possessed all sorts of inexplicable abilities.

This duel is meaningless, and I'm already in very bad shape. I should leave here as soon as possible.

Although she was obsessed with fighting and challenging strong opponents, she wasn't an idiot. She simply couldn't accept this inevitable defeat, especially not one where she would be knocked down fair and square with her fists. Without much thought, she darted off towards a side path, intending to escape.

"Trying to run now?"

The person's relaxed and calm voice sounded behind her, but she ignored him and simply increased her speed once again, leaping forward like lightning.

But she had to stop after running for a short while.

I've already run through this neighborhood once...

She ran again, stopped again, and found herself back in that familiar, dilapidated neighborhood. She ran in a different direction, but the result was the same. After several attempts, she finally realized that she was trapped in some kind of enclosed space.

The construction of a closed space must have a source of power. If that's the case, then use the martial artist's "qi" to sense that source and destroy it!

However, she couldn't sense the source. No matter how hard she tried to expand her senses, she couldn't find the so-called source. It was as if the space that trapped her wasn't a closed space at all, and there wasn't a trace of magic or supernatural power. Everything was as bizarre and unbelievable as being trapped in a maze.

Is this... the power that person possesses? Is it this power that allowed him to defeat Cheng Yan, the world's most recognized martial artist?

It was incomprehensible, utterly illogical—how could such a strange, irrational power exist? In the past, she had faced so many formidable enemies, whether magicians or superhumans. At least with their abilities, she could sense the fluctuations in energy and magic, analyze them, and ultimately defeat them. But this person's ability—she still couldn't grasp even a trace of it.

"Damn it..."

Finally unable to bear it any longer, she gritted her teeth and spoke angrily.

"Come out and fight me fair and square! What kind of man hides in the shadows and tries to ambush me like this? Come out and face me head-on!"

Her voice, usually clear and bright like a young woman's, had become shrill due to extreme anger. She roared loudly, but suddenly heard a sigh beside her.

“I’ve always been by your side, Miss Unknown.”

The shadow that, under the moonlight, should have only reflected her movements, suddenly touched its own forehead and let out a low sigh.

"Varied……"

A sudden blow to the back of her neck, and a strange force that abruptly invaded her mind, interrupted her last thoughts. Her last memory was of that person supporting her numb body, their purple right eye calmly gazing at her.

"I'm so sorry, I'll fight you properly next time, Miss Suspect."

I had completely forgotten my own birthday until my mom sent me a birthday greeting. I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

However, this is quite an important day, so my mood is a little better. I'll try to do an extra chapter today. Anyway, here's the minimum one chapter for now.

Although not many people will actually follow this route and see this far...

Section 259, Chapter Seventeen: The Time of the Interrogation

Unpleasant, extremely unpleasant.

I was so angry that I couldn't control myself; I was so angry that I couldn't eat or sleep.

Ugh, I'm so angry!

The girl, bound to her seat, stared fiercely at Li Cheng, who was sitting opposite her, with eyes that could kill.

"I absolutely must kill you!!"

She roared through gritted teeth.

She really did look very aggressive. However, from her perspective, I did indeed play a cruel trick on her. Although my original intention was just to try to use the power I had gained from Zi's training in actual combat.

Li Cheng was slightly embarrassed. As a martial artist, he understood the fervent desire the girl before him had for the duel, and the damage his own unorthodox fighting style had inflicted on her. Therefore, he remained seated. However, while he remained still, Emiya Kiritsugu, sitting in the other chair beside him, showed no sign of embarrassment.

Without hesitation, Kiritsugu Emiya stood up, walked to the girl, and lifted her hood, which, though tattered, had miraculously remained intact.

A head of messy, long orange hair was then revealed under the white light in the interrogation room.

"Waaah!"

The girl gasped and tried to stop Kiritsugu Emiya's actions, but before that, Li Cheng had already weakened her physical strength with his power of realm, and now she was bound by the strong ropes of composite metal, so she had no way to resist. Therefore, her hood was suddenly pulled off.

"...This guy, is he really that young?"

Looking at the girl's face, which clearly showed she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, Li Cheng was momentarily shocked. At such a young age, she actually possessed the strength to compete with and even defeat many top experts. Wasn't this child's talent a bit too powerful? How exactly did she reach this level?

"Don't stare at my face, you uncivilized bastard!"

The girl, noticing Li Cheng's gaze, bared her teeth and revealed a fierce look. Combined with her messy hair, she looked just like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Hey, Emiya, is this guy still a minor?"

Seeing the girl struggling to break free of the ropes with a bitter and unwilling expression, Li Cheng whispered to Emiya Kiritsugu beside him.

"Regardless of whether she is a minor or not, she single-handedly defeated a considerable number of powerful individuals. She can be interrogated as a normal criminal."

Kiritsugu Emiya, as always, showed no mercy to women. A man with this kind of thinking should really stay single forever... ah, no, he already has a wife and kids, he's a shameful winner in life.

The girl's face was full of defiance, while Li Cheng and Emiya Kiritsugu sat opposite her. In this white interrogation room within the Sixth Squad, a "relatively normal" interrogation was slowly unfolding.

"name?"

"do not know!"

"Hey, get your stance straight. Being honest now will be good for you in the future."

"I don't know! Go to hell, you bastard!"

"Tsk, looks like this is the only way."

"Whoa! What are you doing?! Don't touch me! Hahahaha—"

Tickling feet is a technique that leaves no marks but can cause great stimulation. It is actually very useful for dealing with some young people who seem fierce but are not very resilient in terms of knowledge or personality. It just looks a bit strange.

At this moment, after taking off the girl's shoes and amplifying her skin sensitivity threefold using his spiritual power, he used a specially made tickling stick to launch an attack on the most sensitive spots on her smooth little feet while continuing to question the girl for various information.

"Waaah, I won't let you get away with this! I will absolutely never let you get away with this!"

The girl, on the verge of tears, spoke loudly and fiercely to Li Cheng.

So you still don't want to tell me?

Li Cheng raised the back scratcher in his hand, as if to scratch again.

"...Ugh, I said, please, please don't continue."

I feel a bit guilty about bullying a child, but considering how much damage this guy has caused in the past, I can barely be considered the villain.

"name?"

"Ugh, Fujimaru Ritsuka..."

"age?"

"The 10th or 15th? I can't quite remember my birthday..."

……

After a series of questions, the girl's basic information was quickly obtained. Kiritsugu Emiya then searched for the girl's information on the internal network and confirmed her existence.

"So, when you were eight years old, you met a very powerful old man in the deep mountains who taught you martial arts. Then, when you were twelve, he left. To prove that you were the strongest, you ran out to find masters in various places to challenge, and you've been doing that ever since?"

After reviewing Fujimaru Ritsuka's statement, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the orange-haired girl who had stopped sobbing and asked calmly.

"……Yes."

Having completely given up resisting, Fujimaru Ritsuka answered Emiya Kiritsugu's questions listlessly with a look of utter despair on her face.

"He has no memory of anything before the age of eight, doesn't know who his family is or where they are, and lives a life similar to that of a homeless person, searching for experts and then fighting them. Is there really such a magical guy in real life? You're not making this up to fool us, are you?"

Li Cheng looked at the girl's account of her experiences, which had already been recorded in the notes, and his face was full of disbelief.

"I don't need you, you bastard, to believe me—yes, I'm sorry!"

Facing Li Cheng, Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously bared her teeth, wanting to retaliate, but when she thought of the tickling hell she had endured earlier, she shrank back, though the resentment in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Li Cheng was already used to this and didn't care about the other person's expression at all. However, after glancing at the other person's appearance, he suddenly leaned close to Emiya Kiritsugu and said, as if he had suddenly remembered something:

"Speaking of which, this child's appearance seems to resemble yours somewhat, Emiya. Do you think she might be your long-lost daughter or something?"

Kiritsugu Emiya calmly glanced back at Li Cheng, the meaning in his deep gaze self-evident. Li Cheng could only chuckle awkwardly and turn back to look at Ritsuka Fujimaru.

The questions that needed to be asked had been asked. After finishing the transcript, Li Cheng and Emiya Kiritsugu exchanged a glance. Then, Emiya Kiritsugu turned off the laptop that was recording the transcript, got up, turned off the monitor in the interrogation room, and walked out alone.

In the small interrogation room, only Li Cheng and Fujimaru Ritsuka remained.

"What...what do you want to do?"

The orange-haired girl became a little nervous. She suddenly remembered some things that were not suitable for children that she had inadvertently seen during her three years of wandering. In the past, because of her strength, she had never been captured and naturally had never encountered those things.

But now, she's been caught, her strength is restricted, and she's tightly bound with ropes. Could this man, who looks to be in his thirties, be the kind of guy who's sexually attracted to young girls? Could it be that she'll end up here…?

All sorts of terrible ways to play started racing through the girl's mind.

"Waaaaah, no, no, please don't do this! I don't want this to happen no matter what!"

The girl's face was now covered in fear.

"Well then, it's just the two of us now, Ms. Fujimaru Ritsuka. The question I'm about to ask is out of personal interest, but I hope you can answer it properly."

Unaware of the other person's change in expression, Li Cheng crossed his legs, leaned against the chair cushion, and spoke.

"How did you meet that Ms. Komeiji Satoru? What happened in between? Can you tell me about these things?"

Huh?

The interrogation room, bondage, and training scenarios that I imagined didn't happen. The other person just looked at me and asked for the name of someone I knew.

"Komeiji Satori? You mean... Kogoro?"

Tilting her head, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with a puzzled look.
