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

That's impossible! Xi is so cute and so tiny. She's not the kind of cunning, scheming old fox who looks like she's lived for who knows how many years!

What Li Cheng didn't see was that, in a blind spot behind his back, tide revealed a knowing smile for a fleeting moment.

However, this is not an important matter after all. Compared to this, the guy next to us who is still unconscious is the one we need to deal with next.

Li Cheng looked at Yu Sheng Ryunosuke, who was still lying on the living room floor, took out the phone from his waist, and searched for Kurogiri Mikiya's contact information. At the same time, he walked closer to Ryunosuke and said very seriously to Shio, who was following beside him:

"tide, while your idea of ​​breaking the enemy's limbs to render them immobile is correct, I still have to criticize you for this."

"Huh?"

tide tilted her head, seemingly not quite understanding.

Walking up to Ryunosuke, Li Cheng crouched down, extended his left hand, and gently grasped the other's neck, while turning around and saying:

"For enemies like magicians, even if their limbs are broken, they may still fight by chanting or something similar. So breaking your limbs isn't really a safe way. The only way to truly protect yourself from real enemies is to kill them."

As he spoke, he exerted a little force and snapped Ryunosuke's neck with a "crack".

"Like this, tide, do you see?"

Just as Li Cheng had expected, Xi showed absolutely no fear or apprehension after witnessing a living person being killed by having their neck snapped. She merely looked slightly bewildered, then seemed to be pondering something and became troubled. Then, she decisively abandoned her thoughts, threw herself onto Li Cheng's back, and refused to get down.

Don't you understand? Maybe I started teaching you a little too early?

He wasn't entirely sure if it was right to teach a child with the mind of a few years old how to kill an enemy, but it was unlikely that an ordinary child with the mind of a few years old would break an enemy's limbs and then happily boast about it to others.

tide is a yokai, a yokai unlike humans. To Li Cheng, she is his most important family member, but to the world, she is an incomprehensible anomaly, a different race flowing with different blood, like the gods, elves, beastmen, and most recently, the moon people, whom they have exterminated. If one day, her identity is exposed to human society…

"Cheng?"

tide tilted her head, somewhat puzzled by the conflicted look in Li Cheng's eyes.

“Well, in short, it’s only natural to cherish the people you’re close to,” Li Cheng said earnestly, gently patting Xi’s head. “But as for your enemies, no matter what they are or what their reasons are, if they are enemies, you have to treat them with the harshest attitude.”

Reaching out, Li Cheng pinched tide's dazed little face, sighed, then laughed and said, "After all, the enemy won't necessarily be merciful to us, will they?"

tide stared blankly at Li Cheng, her expression clearly showing confusion and bewilderment.

Ah, as expected, it's still too difficult for this little idiot to understand something so complicated...

"Ding-dong-"

The phone in my hand was connected at that moment.

"Hey, Kurokiri, are you there?"

"Yes, Mr. Li Cheng. What's wrong? Do you need any more documents? I can send someone to deliver them to you right away. If it's about adjusting the nighttime surveillance cameras at the intersection, I can handle that immediately as well."

The voice on the other end sounded hurried, indicating that Kurogiri Kaneya was still busy.

“No, no, I meant I’ve already captured him,” Li Cheng replied calmly, looking at the lifeless body of Ryunosuke Uryu at his feet.

"What...cough cough, caught...caught? Mr. Li Cheng, cough, you mean you've caught Ryunosuke Uryu? So fast, cough cough, how...how did you do that? Cough—"

Startled by Li Cheng's sudden bombshell news, the person on the other end choked and coughed several times before finally recovering.

"Mr. Li Cheng, have you really captured Ryunosuke Uryu?"

"Yes, we've caught them."

Li Cheng flipped Ryunosuke's face with his foot to confirm that it was indeed Ryunosuke, then spoke calmly into the phone:

"However, because it was a sudden encounter and the other party resisted too fiercely, I accidentally killed the other party during the fight. I'm sorry, I can only hand over a corpse."

"Is that so... Well, no problem, Mr. Li Cheng. As long as you are safe and sound. It is perfectly fine for a special police officer to kill a criminal in self-defense during an arrest operation."

"Okay, Mr. Kurogiri, when can you send someone to retrieve the body?"

"It can be arranged immediately, please rest assured."

Although it was said to be "immediately," Li Cheng's home was still some distance from headquarters. So, by the time their people arrived to retrieve Ryunosuke's body, confirmed the situation with Li Cheng, and waited for everything to be completed before leaving, it was already around 1:30 PM.

"Ugh, my stomach's growling, I'm hungry, tide, I'm hungry..."

Lying on Li Cheng's back, tide mumbled weakly.

Don't worry, I'll make it for you right away!

Patting his chest to assure him, Li Cheng put tide down from his back, put on an apron, and started walking into the kitchen, beginning his daily routine of busy work.

Section 52, Chapter 9: The Surprise Attacker

While Li Cheng was still dealing with Yu Shenglong's affairs and didn't have time to cook for Shio, in another place, Emiya Mumei and Tohsaka Rin were taking a slow walk along the path beside the city moat.

"So, Archer, isn't that the code name you used when you were a mercenary with your father? Why do you say that's your normal name? And I don't really understand this Holy Grail War thing you mentioned."

Walking slowly ahead on the road, Rin turned around to look at Wuming, who was following slowly behind her, and said with some doubt.

"Haha, just take it as my crazy talk. Well, it's not an important thing, it's all trivial."

Wuming simply closed one eye and spoke in a deliberately teasing tone.

"What is this? You've spouted a bunch of nonsense and won't explain yourself. What, are you trying to pique other people's interest on purpose?" Rin stopped in her tracks, quite annoyed, and turned to Wuming.

"Haha, after all, it doesn't really make much sense to talk about it, and it's not exactly a pleasant experience. Enjoying the happiness of the present moment is what we should be doing, isn't it, Rin?"

After all, those memories, both real and unreliable, all happened in another world. Whether it was being summoned by the Holy Grail War or dueling with his past, deceitful self, none of that matters. In this world, his identity is the eldest son adopted by Kiritsugu Emiya, the eldest son of the Emiya family who went through many years of mercenary life with him, finally joined the Special Abilities Bureau together, and then carved out his own path on his own.

Stopping in his tracks and gazing at the shimmering water beside him, Emiya Wuming was momentarily lost in thought. But he quickly regained his composure, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Rin Tohsaka, who was standing in front of him:

"Rin, where do you think would be a good place for our wedding?"

"I don't care about that kind of thing," Rin replied irritably. After being teased multiple times in just a few days, she had gotten used to Wuming's rhythm and no longer blushed easily. "You should think about how to deal with my father. He won't let me marry a stranger he doesn't know!"

Yes, in order to counter Emiya Mumei's overly fierce offensive, Rin Tohsaka played her ultimate trump card: her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"So, after I meet him, everything will be fine, whether it's getting married or having children, right, Rin?"

"Um, well, you have to get his consent first before you can talk about anything else!"

I guess I was too hasty after all.

Seeing Rin's somewhat flustered appearance, Wuming sighed.

Ah, never mind. Rin is a difficult person to deal with, didn't I already know that? I'll just have to try harder, after all, she's a rich young lady...

"Alright, let's not talk about things too far in the future. Rin, it's almost noon already. Are you planning to find a restaurant for lunch?"

Pulling back his jumbled thoughts, Wuming, who had just noticed the time on his wristwatch, spoke up.

“Of course, don’t think you’re the only one who’s good at cooking,” Rin said with a rather mysterious smile. “A new restaurant called Totsuki Restaurant opened nearby, and the chef there is incredibly skilled, definitely on par with you.”

“You actually gave such a rating? Well, I’m actually a little interested now.” Wuming walked a few steps to Lin’s side and towards the river. “Then you’ll have to let me see how good the chef at that restaurant is. Maybe I can even learn (imitate) a few of his skills.”

"That's for sure. I'm a regular there and I know a lot of secret dishes that aren't even listed on the menu."

"I'm really looking forward to it. This noon is sure to be very meaningful... provided there are no troublemakers who can't read the room."

"Ugh?"

"Projection, begin!"

With his left hand around Rin's waist, who was caught off guard, his right hand instantly activated projection magic, creating a black short sword out of thin air. Emiya Mumei turned his body, turning Rin's body to the side, and at the same time, the blade in his hand swiftly swung out, colliding directly with the iron fist that came from mid-air.

"Bam—"

A violent sonic boom erupted the next moment. With the powerful impact, dust was violently kicked up and spread outwards in a ring shape. Wuming, holding Rin Tohsaka with one hand, used the recoil to quickly retreat a large step.

"Well!"

"Tsk!"

"Second time, enhance!"

Quickly regaining her senses from the sudden attack, Rin Tohsaka activated her enhancement magic without hesitation, boosting her physical abilities to an astonishing level. She assumed a fighting stance, staring intently ahead at the man who had leaped from the water and launched the attack.

"I have to admit, as that man's son, your qualities are truly outstanding, Emiya Mumei, hmm."

Amidst a grating, yet utterly repulsive laugh, the man looked up, revealing a slightly distorted face. He was a strange man, with a strange face, as if a calm, placid expression had been forcibly spliced ​​together with an overly joyful smile, creating an incongruous effect.

"Kirei Kotomine!?"

Rin Tohsaka uttered the other person's name with some resentment.

"Rin, do you know this person?"

Wuming, standing beside him, asked with a hint of inquiry, seemingly unaware of anything about the person before him.

"How could I not recognize him? He is Kirei Kotomine, my father's eldest disciple, originally taken in by my father to be his successor in martial arts!"

Filled with anger, Rin Tohsaka stared intently at the other person and spoke.

The successor to the martial arts? Emiya Mumei was quite surprised. He knew, of course, that Tokiomi Tohsaka had achieved great success in both magic and martial arts, but he also knew that for someone of Tokiomi's noble birth, inheritance was highly valued. Just like Rin was destined to inherit his magic career, because it was the foundation upon which the Tohsaka family had stood for generations. And martial arts, something that Tokiomi had only developed in his generation, was to be passed on to an outsider who wasn't even a relative. This showed how much Tokiomi valued Kirei Kotomine.

"But this bastard, he took advantage of my father's trust and ruined our family's gem business, almost leading to bankruptcy. He even tried to assassinate my father. My father was badly injured before he finally managed to defeat him, but out of respect for his master-disciple relationship, he couldn't bear to kill him and let him go, sending him to prison instead. And now, and now, you actually dare to come back?"

"Clearly on the verge of exploding," Rin Tohsaka said angrily, as magic began to emanate from the gem between her fingers.

"Don't be impulsive, Rin. The other party is not simple."

However, her intense emotions were quickly calmed down by those around her. Wuming calmly looked at the silent Kirei Kotomine in front of him, projected another blade in his hand, creating a blade that was the exact opposite color of the previous one. He then stepped forward and stood in front of Rin.

"You seem quite agitated, little girl from the Tohsaka family. I'm guessing, is Tokiomi's injury not fully healed yet?"

With a malicious smile, Kirei Kotomine spoke. Then, seeing the resentment on Rin Tohsaka's face, his smile widened.

"Leaving aside your grudges with the Tohsaka family, I think I heard you mention my father, didn't I?"
