In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

Staring at her phone screen, Hayasaka's thoughts drifted, imagining Kozo frantically gathering intelligence only to be discovered and then frantically evading pursuit. She murmured softly, "It seems this guy is really busy... and it's not all easy."

Hayasaka slowly lay down on the bed, the soft mattress slumping inward. She stretched her limbs, feeling the fit of her body against the bed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up... She found that her mood had indeed improved a little, like a ray of warm sunshine peeking through the gloomy sky.

However, on the other side...

Thanks to Miss Hayasaka's stimulation of Artoria, Kozo now has no chance to sleep at all and is galloped by the Knight King all night long.

At 3 a.m., the battle finally came to an end. Takashi San looked at Altria, who slept soundly in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness and love. He gently stroked her golden hair, the silky smoothness of her hair radiating from his fingertips.

"That's right." While Altria was asleep, a smile appeared on Kozo's face. He carefully twisted her long hair into twin ponytails, then looked at it with satisfaction, "As expected, it looks a lot like Ai Li..."

It's 4 a.m. in the back alley of a Tokyo nightclub. Dim lights cast shadows in the corners. A drunken young couple clings to each other... They're stylishly dressed, with dyed hair, earrings, and tattoos. In this narrow alley, they kiss passionately, their breathing heavy in the silence. They must be too lazy to book a room before they're ready for the final act.

Suddenly, the woman seemed to sense something strange, and she looked in the direction of the sound in a daze, only to see a blurry figure standing there.

The man noticed the woman's distraction and looked in the direction the woman was looking at, frowned unhappily, threatening with a drunken but fierce tongue sound, "What do you think? Look, be careful I will beat you to death."

(This accent is actually a variation of a Japanese dialect. Previously, those who spoke with it were usually unrefined people from the countryside ("You stinking outsider, you've come to Kyoto to beg for food"). Over time, gangsters adopted this pronunciation method to enhance their aura, making every sentence convey a sense of ferocity, similar to "Fuck you," "Look at you getting smashed," and "Hmm, get down on your ass!" Therefore, in Japan, if you can't pronounce the tongue-rolling sound, it's difficult to fit in with the gangster community.)

"That's right, if you don't want to die, get out of here... You're such a bummer." The woman raised her hand impatiently, waving it around like she was shooing away an annoying fly. Her voice was a little murky from the alcohol, but the ferocity in her words remained undiminished.

The figure inched closer, the darkness receding behind him like a tide. Faint light began to outline his features. Squinting, they could gradually make out the figure was a young man.

Seeing this, the man pushed the woman away.

The woman staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The man then rolled up his sleeves, veins bulging on his sturdy arms. Reeking of alcohol, he strode towards the young man. "You're truly tired of living, little brat! You dare disobey my orders? I'm... hiccup, I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

The drunken man stumbled towards the boy, and under the influence of alcohol, he swung his fist without any rules. The fist, wrapped in the smell of alcohol, whistled towards the boy's face.

The boy's eyes were calm and composed. He easily tilted his head to avoid the man's fist, which grazed his ear. Before the man could react, the boy quickly raised his arm and swung out with a sharp knife. The knife cut a neat arc in the air and accurately struck the back of the man's neck.

The man's eyes widened instantly, a fierce expression still lingering on his face, but the next second he was like a puppet with its strings cut. He rolled his eyes, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground with a thud, his body lying there limp, motionless.

Elegant, free and easy...

The women couldn't help but be fascinated by each other. "So... so strong." As a frequent stalker, she was used to seeing men fight, and had seen many beautiful moves, but this kind of "handsome one-hit kill, seen only in comics and movies" was the first time she had seen it. Yet, she could truly feel the power of that strike.

The young man took steady steps, approaching the woman step by step.

The woman's eyes were filled with fear, and the alcohol had dissipated somewhat due to this sudden incident. Her body began to stumble backwards involuntarily, her high heels making noises on the ground. "What...what do you want to do?"

"Tell me, where are your kind?" the boy said coldly.

As the young man stepped into the light, the soft glow cast upon his face, and his handsome features gradually became clearer. His high nose bridge, deep eyes like cold stars twinkling in the night sky, and his well-defined lips, slightly pursed, exuded a cool aura... His hair was just the right length and natural curl. In short, he was a handsome man, a rare sight.

The woman looked at the handsome face of the young man and was stunned. It was as if her brain had suddenly short-circuited, and she forgot the other party's question for a moment.

"You won't tell me?" the boy's voice sounded again.

The woman waved her hands in panic. "I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean by 'the same kind'? He and I are not in the same group."

"Really with me..." Just as the woman was about to explain, her eyes suddenly widened, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. She froze in place, her legs and feet trembling, and she couldn't even speak.

Behind the young man, the man who should have been knocked unconscious slowly stood up. His head began to strangely split apart... transforming into a monster with three wriggling tentacles. Its terrifying appearance was terrifying, and the blades on the tentacles flashed with a sharp cold light.

One of the tentacles moved with lightning speed, violently smashing the single light fixture illuminating the alley. With a crisp crash, shards of glass flew everywhere, scattering like shattered stars. Darkness instantly descended, swallowing everything.

The other two tentacles took advantage of the darkness and attacked the boy with his back to him as fast as lightning.

At that crucial moment, a red light whizzed in at unimaginable speed... With a series of "bangs," it forcibly blocked all the attacks from the two tentacles. Where the red light collided with the tentacle blades, a faint energy wave erupted, sending sparks flying.

The red light traced a graceful arc in the air before landing delicately in the boy's hand. The boy's movements were very weak, his lips parted slightly as a low murmur escaped his throat: "Transform."

Accompanied by a crisp "click" sound, as if a sophisticated mechanical device was activated, a cold and technologically advanced mechanical voice rang out: "Transform."

Instantly, a layer of armor, gleaming with metallic luster, spread rapidly from the boy's waist, as if alive. In the blink of an eye, it covered the boy's entire body. The armor exuded a chilling aura in the dim light.

The monster froze for a moment, as if startled by the boy's sudden transformation, or perhaps because it had never seen anything like it before. But after a brief pause, the ferocity in its eyes intensified, and without hesitation, it continued to launch a fierce attack with its tentacles, a whistling wind sweeping towards the boy.

The boy murmured, "Cast Off."

His hand seemed to move slightly at his waist, and the belt made a mechanical sound, "Cast Off."

The boy's heavy armor instantly ripped apart, sending a powerful blast of air surging outward. The monster's human body was completely unable to withstand this force, mercilessly flipped over like a fragile leaf, and fell heavily to the ground.

The tentacles were scarred by the armor fragments that bounced off them, and broken limbs and bright red blood could be seen on the ground. The scene was shocking.

Chapter 45:044 Knight Kabuto's First Battle (Part ): Pointing to the Sky for Abuse, Hayasaka Spying on Her Boyfriend

The woman was also flung away by the powerful blast, tumbling all the way until she hit a trash can and stumbled to a stop. She was still in shock, her face pale, and she was gasping for breath, not understanding what had happened.

After the mask armor was bounced off, the mechanical sound of the belt rang out, "CHANGE BEETLE." At the same time, the red horn slowly rose to the top of the head, and the huge blue compound eyes flashed a light.

Kabuto Masked Form → Kabuto Knight Form

The armored warrior, resembling a red rhinoceros beetle, stood there majestically (height: 195cm), with an upright posture and exuding an unparalleled powerful aura, as if the sun could dispel all the darkness around it.

Just as the monster was about to make the next move, Kabuto quickly slapped the switch on his waist, "Clock Up." In an instant, the time around him seemed to stop.

The tentacles' movements froze in mid-air, and the woman's movements seemed to be paused, leaving the entire scene in a strange... state of stillness? Except for Kabuto.

Kabuto walked slowly behind the monster, his back to the monster, and slowly pressed the button on the insect meter on his belt. The knight's belt then emitted a mechanical sound, "One, Two, Three."

As Kabuto gently flicked the beetle horn on the insect meter on his belt, a dazzling electric current flashed on the belt and quickly transmitted to the red horn. Kabuto whispered, "Knight Kick."

The mechanical sound of the belt was followed by "RIDER KICK." A powerful electric current was transmitted from the horn on the top of the head all the way to the right leg. The entire right leg was surrounded by the electric current and the light was dazzling.

Kabuto gracefully performed a spinning kick, hitting the monster's head accurately. The knight's belt made a sound, "Clock Over."

In an instant, the time around seemed to return to normal.

As soon as the woman looked over, she saw that the monster's body was already shaking, as if it would fall down in the next second.

Then, the man's body fell heavily to the ground. With a loud "bang", the monster-like head exploded violently, with flames shooting into the sky, but... no fragments were seen.

At the same time, the dark clouds just moved away from the moon, and the bright moonlight sprinkled down like water. The woman could finally see the other person's figure clearly... It was a warrior wearing red armor. From the side of the other person's face, he had obvious features of a rhinoceros beetle, and the hard shell shone with a cold luster in the moonlight.

Although he looked very strange and was completely outside the range of women's aesthetic standards, the unique temperament he exuded prevented her from harboring any ill will, and instead filled her with awe.

“Who on earth are you…” the woman murmured, her voice filled with confusion and awe.

Kabuto didn't answer, but just pointed to the sky in silence.

"What do you want me to see?" The woman followed his pointing direction and looked towards the sky, but there was nothing but the deep night sky and a multitude of stars.

When the woman returned her gaze, she found Kabuto, who had been standing there moments before, gone. The surroundings were empty, as if he had never been there. Only the remains of the monster on the ground (the tentacles torn off by the armor when the mask exploded) and the headless man's body proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.

On the rooftop of a tall building, Xiao San held the railing with one hand and tapped his lower back with the other. The wind howled wildly on the rooftop, ruffling Xiao San's hair. His face was full of fatigue, and he kept mumbling, "It feels like showing off is more tiring than fighting."

Xiaosan opened the system interface and confirmed the information:

World collapse: 0.4%

"It looks like it's almost over," Takashi San breathed a sigh of relief. But he knew that at times like these, he couldn't afford to be careless. Compared to the previous parasites, this one was clearly more human-like and evolving. He had to exterminate them immediately. Parasites were also living creatures in the universe, and all life was equal. No one could ignore them. Therefore... they should be killed with passion. (Ace: You're right.)

Although it was the first time that Kabuto was used in battle, "Tendo Souji's physical fitness" allowed Kozo to use Kabuto's abilities with ease.

This battle also has many details:

1. Xiao San intentionally controlled the direction of the armor explosion to avoid vulnerable bodies and buildings. The release of highly compressed oxygen was also controlled to a level that would not harm nearby people.

2. Kozo also controlled the energy flow of RIDER KICK, making it only destroy

The monster's body was preserved.

3. Rider Kick: To activate, press the "Full Speed Switch" on each of the three legs of the Kabuto Insect Meter in the order 1, 2, 3. After closing the center "Seven Dial Cover," the "Zecter Horn" returns to its masked form and then opens again. This is activated with the electronic sound of "Rider Kick!". The Kabuto Horn on its head transforms into a wave of tachyons, which converge on the Rider Piston Punch on its right foot, kicking the enemy. While Rider Kick's power is only 19 tons, it effectively relies on the tachyon energy to inflict damage. Using Rider Kick against such a powerful enemy is a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

4. Timeshifting can be understood as "acceleration," but it's not simply acceleration. Instead, it utilizes superluminal particles (tachyons) to transport the Knight to a higher time plane. The superluminal particles covering the Knight's entire body also prevent the negative effects of acceleration. These superluminal particles can also cover any object the Knight desires to cover, causing any object touched by the Knight's timeshifting to also enter a timeshifted state without being damaged.

5. Because it's a "system reward," just like when Kozo didn't have a Magic Circuit last time, the Knight System has a source of energy not found in the original game: Kabuto's transformation and use consume the host's own physical and mental energy. Of course, the cost of this battle wasn't great; Kozo's waist strike was simply due to overexertion, resulting in a significant loss of fluids representing energy.

In the morning, as the sun rose, the hustle and bustle of the city had already begun, a prelude to the busy work of the cattle and horses. Having experienced another battle with the vise, Kozo was now torn between two things. He knew he couldn't skip classes at Tokyo Metropolitan Koukou Ikusei High School anymore; that would be too much. But he also had academic commitments at the University of Tokyo that he couldn't shirk.

In the end, he chose the latter. "I'll make it up to them next time, next time..." (Next time, for sure)

Koukouyucheng and Todai = vocational high school and Tsinghua University... Although Xiaosan didn't say it, he subconsciously thought so.

At Tokyo Koudou Ikusei High School, the bell rang for the end of the second class. In the classroom of Class D of the first year, Horikita Suzune's face had become as dark as the bottom of a pot. At the same time, there were obvious dark circles around her eyes, and she looked exhausted.

Ayanokouji asked calmly, "You haven't slept since last night, have you? That's not like you, Horikita-san."

"Ah, that guy hasn't come yet." Horikita replied absentmindedly, his words irrelevant to the subject, his eyes still glancing at Yukinoshita Kozo's empty seat. If... if looks could curse, Kozo should be in hell right now, right?

"It seems like you weren't just rejected by Yukinoshita... you were humiliated? That would be terrible." Ayanokouji said softly.

This sentence seemed to have touched a tense nerve, and Horikita Suzune stood up suddenly, her chair making a scraping sound on the ground. Her sudden and drastic movement instantly shattered the calm atmosphere in the classroom, and the classmates all turned their eyes to her.

"Horikita, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Kushida's gentle voice sounded, with worry glimmering in her eyes, and her body leaned forward slightly.

Horikita tried her best to suppress her emotions and replied stiffly, "Nothing happened." Then, she walked out of the classroom quickly as if she wanted to escape from something.

Karuizawa Megumi's eyes were fixed on the direction where Horikita Suzune left. Her eyes were a little wandering, as if she was thinking about something, until Sato Maya called her loudly.

"Hey! Hey!" Sato's voice pulled Karuizawa out of his thoughts.

Karuizawa seemed to be suddenly awakened, his body shook slightly, and his eyes turned away from the direction Horikita left.

She quickly adjusted herself, put a smile back on her face, and continued the conversation that had been interrupted.

At noon, the cafeteria was filled with the aroma of food, and the noise was heard one after another. Students sat around the dining tables in groups of three or five.

Today, Horikita Suzune did not eat with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka as usual, but sat alone in the corner... The food on the plate was steaming, but she just mechanically picked it up with chopsticks, her eyes were a little empty, and she had completely lost her usual concentration. It seemed that she was not in good condition.

On the other side, Ayanokouji was sitting at the table, and Kushida slowly walked towards him with a plate of food. She sat down across from Ayanokouji, and in the subsequent conversation, Ayanokouji lowered his voice and told Kushida about the failure of Horikita's negotiation with Yukinoshita.

After hearing this, Kushida sighed softly, "If that's the case, then no one will get any points this month. What should we do?"

"You should go find Karuizawa-san." Ayanokouji's eyes were calm, and he looked at Kushida indifferently.

Kushida was slightly startled, a puzzled look on his face.

"According to Horikita-san, Yukinoshita reached an agreement with Karuizawa, and Karuizawa handed all the points to Yukinoshita." Ayanokouji continued.

Kushida's eyes widened slightly, as if he was thinking about Ayanokouji's words.

Ayanokouji's gaze remained calm. He looked at Kushida quietly, waiting for her reaction, without any emotion in his eyes.

Kushida took a deep breath, "I understand. Thank you for telling me this, Ayanokouji-san."

In the long corridor of the school, sunlight shines through the windows, forming patches of light on the ground. Smithy A. Hasaka (Hayasaka Ai) from Class 1B and Sakura Airi from Class 1D meet here.

Hayasaka took out her cell phone from her pocket and operated it skillfully. With a slight electronic prompt tone, she transferred 30000 points to the other party at one time.

Sakura's eyes widened instantly, and her mouth opened slightly unconsciously, her face full of flattery. "Hasaka-san, this... this is too much."

Thirty thousand points is an absolutely astronomical figure for Class D, which lost all 1000 class points at the beginning. It can be said to be a month's living expenses.

Hayasaka tilted her head slightly, her lips curled up in a friendly smile. "It's okay, Sakura-san deserves it... You've been working hard keeping an eye on that guy for me." Her voice was as gentle as the breeze in the hallway.

"Hasaka-san, I...I will definitely do my best." Sakura's face flushed slightly.

However, she still had a question.

Sakura raised her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed with nervousness. She asked hesitantly: "Um, Hasaka-san, may I ask...are you really Yukinoshita-san's girlfriend?"

Hayasaka stood straight, a warm, ladylike smile on her face. She nodded without hesitation, "Of course, please don't doubt it. I won't lie to you."

For Hayasaka Ai, lying is the norm, but this sentence is indeed not deceiving... Even if it means that they are in a relationship as an engaged couple, it is theoretically possible.

"That...that'll be alright then." Sakura's tense body relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart, her guilt lessening. After all, it was a reasonable excuse for a girlfriend to ask someone to monitor her boyfriend to see if he was cheating.

Sakura stood in the corridor with a grateful expression on her face and bowed deeply to Hayasaka Ai, "Hasaka-san, thank you for your trust. I will complete the task well."

Hayasaka smiled and nodded, "Sakura-san, I believe in you. Come on!"

Sakura Airi turned and left, her steps brisk. Hayasaka Ai stood there, watching her back with a smile until her figure disappeared.

Sakura Airi walked to the entrance of the corridor and suddenly stopped.

"Ichinose-san?" Sakura showed a hint of surprise on her face.

Ichinose had a hesitant look on his face. "Sakura-san, is it really okay to do this? Spying on people and stuff... do you really believe what Hasaka-san said?"

Sakura's eyes became firm, and she looked at Ichinose Honami, "This...this is what Hasaka-san asked me to do, and I must fulfill the promise. Besides, I believe Hasaka-san is a trustworthy person."

Chapter 46:045 The temptation of Sakurajima Mai's birthplace: Mrs. Sakurajima, please don't test me

In the cafeteria, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka sat alone at a table in the corner, shoving the food from his plate into his mouth intermittently. His gaze passed over the food in front of him and fell on Kushida Kikyo and Hirata Yosuke who were not far away.

Kushida's expression was subtly intense, his mouth opening and closing as if he were saying something. Hirata listened with a gentle expression, nodding occasionally with a polite smile on his face.

Ayanokouji tilted his head slightly and continued chewing his food. "So, you didn't go directly to Karuizawa, but went to Hirata instead?" His expression remained calm.
