"Yo, Leo!"

"Uh... it's Mr. Midoriya! You're at 'Libra' today too?"

Leo, feeling utterly exhausted, didn't have the energy to reply when he saw Izuku Midoriya arrive unnoticed. He had almost been murdered by that bastard Zapp just now.

"I was planning to play Half-Life 3 at home today, but a troublesome kid, Helsaremz Roth, came to visit, so I'll leave that Fimut guy at home to play with her for now."

"Huh? Could it be that one of the Thirteen Kings of Another World has come to Helsaremz Rotri again?!"

Leo, startled and paying attention, was taken aback. However, Midoriya sat down on the sofa and picked up the documents Stephen had placed on the table to look at the information about the drug "Angel Armor" that had come from another world. He also answered Leo's question.

"She's the little girl I mentioned meeting in another world last time. Overall, she's a rather troublesome child."

"Uh...it feels kind of dangerous."

Wiping away cold sweat, Leo was shocked to hear the word "trouble" from the "Wicked King." He wondered what kind of terrifying being it was, and he figured that if he accidentally encountered it, he would surely die.

"Abby is a pretty well-behaved child, but the being who made the contract with her is a bit troublesome. She loves her daughter... yes, that's probably it!"

"Um...it sounds like it's quite complicated."

Hearing Izuku Midoriya, the "Worst King," mutter to himself, Leo couldn't understand what he was saying, but he figured he was probably similar to the Thirteen Kings of Another World—a dangerous character who could cause the apocalypse because of a momentary hobby.

"By the way, Leo, I think I just heard you say you're homeless?"

"Haha~ Because the house I rented turned into a luxury hotel, I was kicked out and now I have to find a new place to stay."

"I see..."

Having overheard the conversation among the people of "Libra" on his way here and learned about the situation, Izuku Midoriya directly offered advice to the boy.

"Would you like to stay at my place? You won't have to pay rent, and I'll even have maids to serve you three meals a day."

"Um...may I ask you, Mr. Midoriya, where are you currently staying?"

"Why are you staying at Femtota's house temporarily?"

"No need, no need! I'll find a place to rent myself!!"

Leo frantically waved and shook his head in refusal. He wouldn't dare stay at the "Fallen King's" house even if he had several lives. Who knows, he might wake up one day to find that he had been transformed beyond recognition. This was entirely a possibility!

"Haha~~ I was just kidding."

It couldn't possibly be Midoriya who genuinely invited Leo to live at the "Fallen King's" house. After all, Fimto's wicked nature is beyond compare; he would definitely try to do something malicious to Leo.

"Actually, I wanted to trouble you to keep an eye out for me when I'm looking for accommodation and a place to rent. I'm also planning to move out of the Femto family's place."

"well!?"

Not quite understanding, Leo directly asked Izuku Midoriya.

"Mr. Midoriya, weren't you living comfortably at the 'Fallen King's' house? Why are you suddenly planning to move?!"

"Didn't I just say that Abby has come to Helsaremz Rotri? She'll be staying at the Fimto family's house for now. I'm planning to make my escape first."

"Forehead........"

Leo, who was completely unaware of what was going on, became very curious about the child whom Izuku Midoriya called "Abby." What kind of being could make this "Worst King" flee in panic?

Chapter 19: The fault of the brat is always the parents' fault!

Demon Chess is a board game that exists in another world. Although its rules and form are very similar to chess in the human world, its variations and depth are much more complex. After the human world and the other world were connected, Demon Chess became very popular in Hersalemz Lot.

However, the matter of Demon Chess was only mentioned incidentally. As the "Worst King," Izuku Midoriya himself was not very interested in board games. He would rather look forward to Gabe Newell's Half-Life 4 than spend his free time studying Demon Chess.

Of course, Klaus V. Reinherz, the leader of "Libra", was unexpectedly interested in Demon Chess. He would spend his free time playing Demon Chess with friends in the headquarters office and online. Occasionally, you could see Klaus looking very motivated.

Three days after Leo was evicted by his landlord, the poor boy who had slept on the sofa at the "Libra" headquarters for three days finally found a new place to live. It took a total of three days. It wasn't that it was hard to find a place to rent in "Helsaremz Roth", but rather that his daily work and missions in "Libra" took up too much time.

"Angel Armor" – This refers to the situation revealed in the drug addict Zapp encountered three days ago. Because there is some kind of dirty money transaction between the other world and the human world, a new type of drug is continuously being sold from the other world to the human world. It has the effect of modifying the human body, and it is a hugely profitable transaction where a few grams are worth tens of thousands of US dollars.

Libra, who routinely works to maintain world peace, will not tolerate such blatant criminal activity. Unfortunately, despite everyone's efforts to gather information over the past three days, they have not obtained any concrete details about the "Angel Armor." It seems that the mastermind behind this is being cautious enough to allow anyone to catch him.

Even though Leo doesn't have combat abilities, his intelligence-gathering ability with the "God's Eye" is no worse than anyone else's. During these three days, Leo was busy working and carrying out the "Libra" mission. Finally, after working himself to the bone, he found a new rental house that was reasonably priced and pretty good in all aspects.

Of course, Leo wouldn't forget what Izuku Midoriya had asked him to do. While finding a place to rent for himself, Leo also helped this "Worst King" find a more suitable place to live.

Since Izuku Midoriya told Leo from the beginning that he didn't need a luxurious villa, but just a room big enough for one person like an ordinary person, it wasn't too difficult to find one.

He got through to "The Worst King" on the phone. When he asked Leo for help, Midoriya had exchanged phone numbers with him. When he arrived in the new world, Midoriya Izuku had also purchased suitable communication tools for himself in advance.

"Hey! Mr. Midoriya. I've taken care of the place you asked me to find you accommodation."

"It's Leo? Just a moment, I'll get back to you right away..."

Leo, who had just gotten through to the "Worst King" phone, heard a noisy and chaotic sound coming from Izuku Midoriya's end, and the voice of a certain "Fallen King" Fimto was loud and familiar.

"Ah! That won't do... It's not a toy, little princess, stop right now!!"

"Abby, I have to go out for a bit now, so let Femto continue playing with you."

............

Although he couldn't witness the chaotic and horrific scene on the other side, Leo guessed that the "Fallen King" Fimto was able to let out such a mournful cry, as if a relative's naughty child had come to his house for the New Year and destroyed his precious collection. This kind of cruel destruction, comparable to a natural disaster, was enough to make people weep and feel deep sympathy.

Of course, the "Fallen King" Fimto doesn't deserve any sympathy. The people living in Helsaremz Lot wish this troublemaker would die soon. If they heard him wailing and lamenting because of the brat, they would probably be ready to set off fireworks to celebrate.

Meanwhile, after handing over the troublesome kid to Fimto and escaping the situation, Izuku Midoriya responded to Leo and headed straight for the "Libra" headquarters.

Mischievous children are always a source of fear, a universal and unchanging rule whether in the human world or another. Of course, it's not that mischievous children are scary, but rather that parents who condone their children's reckless behavior are the most terrifying.

Izuku Midoriya quickly arrived at the headquarters of "Libra". After skillfully entering through the portal, he found that only Leo and his old butler Gilbert were in the huge headquarters.

"It's not surprising that Zapp isn't here, but why isn't Klaus here today?"

"Mr. Klaus went out on business, and I don't know where he went."

Leo kindly answered Izuku Midoriya's question. Zapp usually spent his time outside indulging in pleasure after getting rid of "Libra," while Klaus, as the leader, usually stayed in headquarters and rarely went out to roam around.

Of course, Qian, Stephen, Zapp, and the others were not at the "Libra" headquarters today because their intelligence gathering on the "Angel Armor" was not yet finished. "Libra" would not stop its operations until it caught the mastermind behind this incident.

However, the current intelligence gathering is all done by interrogating and extracting information from gangsters. Leo, an ordinary boy with no fighting ability except for the "God's Eye," is excluded and left to do his own thing.

"It seems Klaus must have something important to discuss; after all, he's the leader of 'Libra.'"

As Midoriya received the black tea from the old butler Gilbert, he had come to understand Klaus's character quite well during this time as the "Worst King" and a regular at Libra. Although he looked rough and fierce, he was actually a simple and clumsy gentleman. It really was true that appearances can be deceiving...

"Mr. Midoriya, shall we go and see the accommodation first?"

"Let's go, we came here to prepare for this."

After finishing his black tea and saying goodbye to the old butler Gilbert, Midoriya followed Leo to their new residence. As they walked down the street, Leo couldn't help but ask some questions out of curiosity.

"Mr. Midoriya, is that kid you mentioned named 'Abby' troublesome?"

"You heard that guy Femto screaming on the phone just now, didn't you?"

"Um... because that person's voice is so familiar that I can't forget it. Whenever Hersalemz Roth has something going on, it's basically his doing."

"Well... this can be considered retribution. One thing subdues another. Abby ate up Feimto's magical beast test subject, a special individual that was very difficult to obtain."

"Um... Mr. Midoriya, did you say anything just now?!"

"Well, 'eat' is an adjective. If we were to describe it more precisely, it would be 'eaten' by the 'door'."

"I don't understand what you're saying at all..."

Unable to continue the conversation, Leo couldn't understand what the "Wicked King" was saying at all... It's hard to imagine a human child "eating" a monster. Did his mouth suddenly become bigger than the monster itself?

Leo and Izuku Midoriya continued their journey toward their destination, while on the streets of Helsaremz Lot, the coexistence of humans and otherworldly beings was as harmonious as ever. Perhaps in the future, the mutual communication and coexistence between humans and otherworldly beings is not such a distant dream after all.

"Ah... I found it!"

On the street, a blonde little girl dressed in a retro lantern outfit and carrying a teddy bear pointed excitedly at Izuku Midoriya and Leo and shouted.

"Huh? It's that child from last time."

Leo was somewhat surprised. He recognized the blonde little girl; she was the same little girl who had given him a cake outside the cake shop when he visited Xiaobai in the hospital last time. What did she want from him?

Just as Leo was feeling a bit confused, he heard a horrifying truth from the "Extreme Evil King" beside him.

"Abby... how did you get out here?"

"What?!"

At this moment, Leo didn't know if he had won the lottery or had a stroke of good luck, but he had already met a cute yet scary little girl beforehand.

Chapter 20 Abigail

Hersalemz Lot, the "Worst King" of today, is also at the fast food restaurant Leo frequents, accompanied by an adorable blonde little girl.

When Vivian, the shop assistant, saw regular customers Leo and Izuku Midoriya with an adorable little girl she had never seen before, she gave the two of them a very righteous and stern warning.

"Although I know both of you, it's utterly despicable for you to lay a hand on a little girl. Should I call the police?"

"How could that be? Do you take me for Zapp?! I'm not a piece of trash like Mr. Zapp!!"

Amid Leo's furious rants and rebukes, the shop assistant Vivian simply covered her mouth and chuckled before turning and leaving. Even a slight joke could always be followed by Leo's serious rants.

Leo, who didn't know where to begin his question or conversation, looked at the little girl whom Mr. Midoriya called "Abby." She was holding a cup of cola and happily drinking it through a straw, while her short legs swung back and forth on the high stool.

“Um…Mr. Midoriya…”

“Abigail Williams, that’s the child’s full name.”

Seeing Leo's hesitant expression, as if he wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak, Izuku Midoriya took the initiative to introduce the little girl next to him by giving her her full name. At that moment, Abigail also greeted Leo very obediently.

"Thank you, big brother! Abby really likes the taste of that cake; it's so fragrant and sweet!"

"Haha~~ It's nothing."

Hearing the cute little girl's thanks, Leo awkwardly scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya noticed something unusual and flashed from Abigail's side to Leo's.

"Hey...you know Abby!?"

Midoriya, with the back of his hand, quietly asked the person involved, and although Leo found the "Worst King's" strange behavior a bit odd, he still answered him honestly.

“I ran into this child outside the cake shop a few days ago. She looked like she really wanted to eat cake, so I gave her a piece of cake.”

"Oh no... you're in big trouble..."

"what!?"

Leo was stunned and confused. What was going on? He looked at the "Extreme Evil King" with the same pity he felt for a dead man, and became even more confused.

"Um... Mr. Midoriya, could you please explain in more detail?"

"In short, it's because of your kind actions that Abby developed feelings for you. The higher being who dotes on Abby doesn't want to see their 'daughter' have any special feelings for a male being, so they're probably trying to nip any feelings in the bud—literally nip them in the bud...you understand?"

"........."

Having roughly understood a bit, Leo swallowed hard, then stiffly turned his head to look at Abigail across the table. At that moment, the little girl was waving at him happily. Leo, who was sweating profusely, suddenly turned around and grabbed Izuku Midoriya's sleeve.

"Mr. Midoriya, you've wronged me! I had absolutely no ulterior motives. I just saw a little kid who wanted to eat cake, and my conscience compelled me to do it!!"

“I understand... After all, I saw a poor child in another world, and I couldn’t help but feel guilty and wanted to help her... I understand everything.”

"Well......."

At this moment, Leo finally understood why the "Worst King" had been so deliberately avoiding this little girl named Abigail. It turned out the fierce and terrifying one wasn't the little girl herself, but her "father"...

"In short... I'm powerless to help myself, so you'll have to figure it out yourself."

"No! I don't want to die!!"

Leo, who was clinging tightly to Midoriya's sleeve, finally understood what it meant to be struck by lightning. Even his usual good intentions could lead to such a tragic end. How could things be so miserable?

"Also, a word of caution: trying to bully or scare Abby to lower her affection level will only get you killed faster... After all, seeing their daughter being bullied, that doting 'father' will practically just step in and strangle you."

"Is this some kind of real-life 'Death GALGANME'?! Playing the game is death, lowering your affection level is also death, it feels like every path is a dead end!!"

"Hmm... I'm glad you understand."

Seeing Leo on the verge of collapse, Midoriya could only offer a few words of comfort... After all, if he weren't reasonably skilled, he might have been killed by Abigail's "father" countless times.

"Um... big brother, what's your name?"

"Oh! Me?"

Hearing Abigail's cute voice asking, Leo pointed at himself in surprise, and then saw the blonde little girl in front of him nod in confirmation, obviously asking for his name.

"Leonardo Watch, you can just call me Leo."

"Mmm...I understand, big brother Leo!"
