How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

So cute...

"Yes, thank you! Hill! I'll never forget this in my life."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Faced with Katia's earnest thanks as she grasped Hill's hands, Hill smiled smugly with her eyes closed, clearly pleased.

The tuner lifted Henson from the transparent coffin, looking somewhat comical, which reminded Katya of workers moving air conditioners.

This time, she truly experienced the trouble caused by the Fallen Order.

She made up her mind that next time, if the dungeon confirmed that the other party was a member of the Fallen Order, she would just kill them directly.

The tuner's riot control vehicle arrived.

The tuner carried Henson into the car, just as the door was about to close.

Henson met Katia's gaze meaningfully and smiled kindly:

"As expected of you, no wonder you were able to defeat Cliff in a duel."

Bang. The car door slammed shut, and the riot control vehicle sped away.

Hill tilted his head in confusion:

"Cliff? He's connected to Chris?"

Katya's expression froze, her whole body still.

Does he know who I am?

"..."

"Tia... Sister?"

The tuner stayed behind, using a prop to create a blue-purple protective shield to preserve and seal off the scene. He bowed to Katia before leaving.

Hill, who was standing nearby, looked at Katya and noticed that she was staring intently in the direction the car had left.

Katya's expressionless face was filled with an unprecedented murderous aura, completely unlike her usual gentle and soft demeanor.

"It looks like it was resolved smoothly. Thankfully, I don't have to work overtime. We should head back now."

"Well, with Hill keeping her company, it should be fine."

Beren and Shiloh watched from the crowd.

After watching the entire performance, Sirocco wore a somewhat troubled smile.

I wonder where she learned to help her younger sister at the exact moment.

You should have handed it in earlier; you dragged it out until the very last minute.

Fortunately, the results are good.

Seeing Hill pull the dazed blue-haired girl onto the bus for the return journey, Sirocco and Beren entered the platform to wait for their bus.

Sirocco wasn't so naive as to ride in the same car as the person who was following him.

While catching his sister Hill in the act would be fun, the time he spends with Beren is much more enjoyable.

Buses are slower than subways and have fewer passengers, mainly because Belen said she didn't want to squeeze onto the subway anymore.

Twenty minutes earlier, after getting off the Ferris wheel, Sirocco and Beren started their journey back, and on the way, they heard Hill's anti-wolf sirens in the distance.

Sirocco recognized the sound and carried Beren to the source of the sound as fast as he could. Beren, startled, pinched Sirocco's cheek.

Stopping at a certain distance from the scene, they discovered the maid who claimed to be from the Cass family, and encountered cultists from the Fallen Order.

Why is she also using a pink sword?

Influenced by Cassius?

That bastard Cass... he's got real charm, seducing his own maid.

Sirocco immediately called the tuner to call for backup.

He had originally planned to go up and help, but after seeing the Fallen One clearly, he felt it was unnecessary.

Henson Kine.

Explorers at level 9 can reach a maximum level of 10.

Talent: [Slow and steady wins the race]

A subtle talent that requires specific items to be used to unleash its full potential.

His attacks looked powerful, but when they actually hit a Lv15 Hill, they would at most cause a "Ouch, that hurts!" kind of damage, and it would be difficult to even leave a bruise.

In short, it's a minor monster.

It's the Fallen Demon Society, but it's a very low-level organization and doesn't have any members at the bottom of the ranks who refine the tree nest.

The branches that the tuner took from Hill were most likely given to Henson by one of the members.

Refining tree branches can assimilate ordinary people, but at the very least, it requires contact with mucous membranes or piercing the epidermis, and only those who have been chosen can do so.

If you can get infected just by touching it, then there's no point in playing this game.

They could simply grind the refined tree branches into powder and spray it throughout the city, or put it into the water treatment plant, and then everyone would become a member of the Fallen Demon Society.

Henson's situation falls under the category of unexpected events, and generally speaking, only when a character's psychology is in an extreme state is there a high probability of encountering the Fallen Order's missionary activities...

Of course, perhaps the maids in the Cass family were just really unlucky.

Sirocco sent a message to Cass:

—If your maid encounters the Fallen Order, pay attention to her mental state—

The specific reason why the Cass family maid met Henson can be asked when you go out with Cass.

After a long while, Cass replied with an emoji of Elulu excitedly defeating the monster.

No, man.

Why are you happy when your maid gets into trouble...?

The bus then arrived. The two boarded silently. There were only four or five passengers on the bus.

Sirocco sat down in the back seat, and Beren followed suit in the front. Her attitude was very cold, or rather, she was apologetic.

The evidence is that she kept glancing at Sirocco.

Sirocco didn't quite understand what Beren's point of reference was.

Weren't you quite proactive in the Ferris wheel just now?

Then Sirocco got up and sat down next to Beren.

"Come a little closer."

He deliberately pushed her shoulder rather roughly. Although Beren pouted, she still obediently squeezed into the window seat.

"Don't push too hard..."

"What does this little bit matter?"

Sirocco said with a wicked grin.

"Humph."

Beren simply leaned on Sirocco's shoulder.

"I'm sleepy, wake me up before you get off the bus."

"Good good."

"'Okay' can be said once."

Beren pinched Sirocco's side.

The perfect amount of itchiness makes you want to do it again.

119. Pyramids

Monday, April 5th.

"What's this?"

Sirocco, who was about to put the jelly on top of the strawberry tart shaved ice into his mouth, paused when he heard Cass's words.

"Sirocco, do you think you're alright?"

Cass tilted his head slightly, his flowing hair swaying with it, his eyes filled with surprise.

Her nails were neatly trimmed, her rings were shiny, and her casual clothes were somewhat luxurious, in a sophisticated brown and black color scheme, which showed how much Cass valued this meeting.

Kas and Sirocco officially began grinding monsters on the second floor at noon today, using those unorthodox locations under Sirocco's guidance.

It was 6 p.m. when the two met at a somewhat trendy Idley restaurant.

Compared to the formal Kas, Sirocco's attire was quite ordinary: jeans, a GAP jacket, and cheap sneakers.

However, Cass didn't care. He was just happy that Sirocco was coming.
