Is this okay?

This step is essential!

Chapter 113 Kirito: There are quite a few things to complain about.

The next day, Leng Mo and the others finally escaped the sea, and the Ice-Cold Crossing True Monarch was no longer of any use.

But it doesn't matter!

The land is where everyone's home turf is; otherwise, how could they be called the strongest creatures on land?

"Yosh! It's nice to be on familiar ground."

Feeling the familiar touch beneath his feet, Leng Mo revealed a nostalgic expression.

Esdeath, who was being carried, was filled with a sense of vicissitude. Why? To cross such a vast ocean with one's bare body, and to do so in a whole day, was simply inhuman.

It would probably have taken me a month to get through this, but Leng Mo and the others finished it in a day.

We really finished the run.

However, she was also exhausted, as using the Imperial Arms continuously was quite difficult for her.

At that moment, on the forum...

Kirito: I'm here!

Stranger: Great! Very energetic! But I still suggest you become the strongest creature on earth before you come over.

Kirito: Huh? Is there a reason?

Stranger: This journey is random; I'm afraid you'll get stuck in the wall and won't be able to get out.

Kirito: You should have said so earlier! I'm already here!

Kazuma Sato: I think teleportation is pretty reliable. So far, there haven't been any problems, although I've been transported to the sewers once...

Xiaoyuan-senpai: Me too...

Kirito: There are so many things I need to complain about... How am I supposed to find you guys?

Little Madoka: I came to see where you were! Oh? You're in luck! I can come pick you up. The little pink girl you see later is me!

Kirito: That's amazing, you found me as soon as I arrived?

Senior Xiaoyuan: Yeah, I saw you lying in the bushes by the gate with your butt sticking out as soon as you came over. Isn't that a coincidence?

Kirito: ...

So I teleported right in front of you!

Senior Xiaoyuan: Waaaaa! Senior Xiaoyuan, look here, look here!

Kirito: Why are you talking on the forum when you're right in front of me?

Senior Xiaoyuan: Children shouldn't ask such scary questions.

Kirito: ...

You're just too lazy to explain.

Senior Xiaoyuan: By the way, Amo, how long until you guys come back? Night Raid has already returned from their mission.

Hill: I was just about to come back. The investigation into Sheila's matter has been completed, although I knew it from the beginning... but we still have to go through the procedures.

Stranger: As expected, I'll arrive this afternoon.

Madoka-senpai: Okay, let me talk to Kirito about the game first. Should I bring the game with me?

Kirito: I brought it.

Madoka-senpai: Great, we can go play over there after we've dealt with Tatsumi's situation.

Stranger: Oh, right! Kirito, there's a special dish just for us, would you like to try it?

Kazuma Sato: Hmm?

Kaneki Ken: Yeah!

Tatsumi: Hmph?

Senior Xiaoyuan: Hmph!

Kirito: What do you mean? Food?

Stranger: That's right, it's a very delicious thing, but there's a condition.

Kirito: What are the conditions? Why does this feel like a game?

Kazuma Sato: Actually, it's pretty much the same thing. Miracles and magic will appear when certain conditions are met. We've found a way to make otherworldly delicacies.

Kirito: This looks interesting.

Ken Kaneki: It's been a while since I've had this, I'm really craving it.

Kirito: So what method is it?

Stranger: Just announce to the world that you're an idiot.

Kirito: Are you kidding me? Is there really such a thing as this?

Madoka-senpai: It's a pity that Tatsumi's world doesn't meet the requirements, so we can't eat it.

Kirito: I don't know why, but I suddenly felt relieved. So why don't I meet the requirements?

Tatsumi: My world doesn't have internet, so there's no way to hijack all the signals. Nor can we make a large-scale announcement...

Kirito: I think we shouldn't...

Kazuma Sato: It's okay, I can help you if you can't shout it out. It's just a matter of saying a few words.

Kirito: ...

How strong do your hearts have to be to treat this kind of thing like it's nothing...?

Kirito suddenly had the feeling that he had entered some incredible group.

……

Around afternoon.

Leng Mo and the others finally returned to Night Raid's headquarters. When they saw the familiar buildings, they missed them terribly. They had to admit that familiar things always brought them a sense of warmth.

"You are—!! Esdeath!?"

Night Raid and his crew, who were loitering at the entrance, widened their eyes when they saw Esdeath. This was a major crisis.

Esdeath learned of the headquarters of the night raid.

"Why did you bring her here? Weren't you going to cause her trouble?"

Akame looked at Esdeath and Leng Mo warily, not understanding what was going on.

It has to be said that Akame has a really good eye; she recognized the muscular Leng Mo immediately after his transformation, probably because of his unique pair of flip-flops.

"It's a long story. This guy was tricked by Sheila, and we thought we'd wait for her to come back with some food before we made our move, but..." Leng Mo found it hard to continue.

"The result?" Akame raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, not quite understanding.

"As a result, this guy commanded us with an invincible look on his face... We encountered a super dangerous species as soon as we went out, and he was beaten to the ground with his mouth open and eyes closed, bleeding all over the ground. I'm a kind-hearted person, so I couldn't bear to see this, and that's why I rescued him."

Leng Mo smiled proudly and explained to Chi Tong, like a child wanting praise.

"..."

I heard it clearly, but why does it sound so outrageous?

This is Esdeath...

Akame was a little unsure of what to do. Although she believed Leng Mo's words, what was going on?

Encountering a super dangerous creature while out and about, like being hit by a meteorite, is just absurd...

"Cough cough cough..."

Esdeath felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Leng Mo's words, and coughed lightly while looking earnestly at Akame and the others.

"I won't lay a hand on you, I promise. Besides, I'm no longer an Imperial General. According to their intelligence... Sheila has taken over."

"That's right, Sheila has taken your place as the Grand General."

Akame lowered her guard and stared intently at Esdeath, a somewhat subtle feeling creeping over her.

What was originally the greatest enemy now doesn't feel like an enemy at all.

Perhaps it was because Leng Mo was standing in the middle.

At this moment, Leng Mo remembered something and said seriously to Chi Tong:

"I have some leads regarding Sheila. You'd better all come to the meeting room; I'm about to explain something. I'm afraid the upcoming battle is beyond your involvement."

Upon hearing this, Chi Tong immediately tensed up. If Leng Mo made a move, there would be no way for her to do anything.

"What are you going to do? You promised us you wouldn't do anything unless we got hurt. We're even afraid of getting burned while boiling water, and then you'll use that as an excuse..."

"..."

I don't know why you're being so cautious, but isn't this a bit excessive?

"It's something else, don't be nervous."

Leng Mo walked up and reached out to rub Chi Tong's tense head. It felt pretty good; there was a strange pleasure in touching the head of a two-dimensional girl.

"What else?"

Chi Tong was a little surprised to be patted on the head, wondering what could possibly make Leng Mo care.

"It's quite complicated, let's explain it in the conference room. You come too, Esdeath."

Leng Mo turned to Esdeath and said seriously, leaving her no room to refuse.

Esdeath, upon hearing this, remarked with emotion, "You're stronger than me, I'll listen to you."

"Are you saying that I'm stronger and listen to me now, but one day I'll defeat you?" Leng Mo knew what Esdeath meant.

but……

"I'm afraid we'll never be able to beat them..." Esdeath laughed nonchalantly.

Her answer surprised Leng Mo and shocked Chi Tong, who was standing next to her, who stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"That's a real shame, Esdeath." Leng Mo smiled and said nothing more.

Why do I seem to be really looking forward to you challenging me to a fight?

Esdeath didn't say anything, but she felt as if she had been let off the hook.

Two days is a short time, but it has brought her too much shock. She felt like a little girl who was powerless and weak in front of adults, and was even taken care of by adults in various ways.

For some reason, I don't want to think about anything else, as if I've returned to my childhood when my father was still alive.

Perhaps because I've been reflecting on life a lot these past two days, my personality has become much more tactful.

However, she would absolutely not let Sheila go.

After all, the culprit who put her in such an embarrassing situation was Sheila, and the next time they meet, things will definitely not be the same as before!

……

A moment later, in the conference room.

The meeting room was packed with people; everyone who could come was there, regardless of whether it was Kirito or Chelsea.

Chelsea's expression was clearly off; she was scared.

Although I don't know why, the aura of the strongest creature on the ground was actually five times stronger than mine!

The intense pressure she felt, especially after they sat together, made her somewhat uneasy.

Chapter 114 It's as if the rain has stopped and the sky has cleared...

For some reason, Chelsea, sitting at the table, felt an indescribable sense of unease whenever she looked at Leng Mo, Kaneki, Kazuma, and Tatsumi.

It was as if the air around them had formed some kind of character, floating in a single line around them.

ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ!

What kind of aura could cause the air to react in such an inexplicable way?

Chelsea didn't know, but she now deeply understood that Night Raid and the others were truly wary of it, and it was no joke.
