Divider——————

Wuwu~, finally a normal-looking companion has arrived!

Wave exhaled, gathered his courage, stood up, and offered a friendly smile: “You…!”

But before he could finish, the black-haired girl bit into the ice sculpture zongzi.

(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

That ice sculpture doesn’t look like food at all, and besides, are your teeth that hard!!!

His outstretched hand also froze in mid-air.

But Kurome just stared at Wave for two and a half seconds, then put her hands up to shield the ice sculpture zongzi behind her, vigilantly saying:

“I won’t share delicious things with you.”

“No… I’m not trying to snatch it…” Wave awkwardly froze in place.

Who would snatch an ice sculpture zongzi from you to eat!!!

But Kurome ignored him, and realizing she couldn’t bite through the ice sculpture zongzi, she silently wiped away the saliva from the corners of her mouth.

She casually found a seat and sat down.

She took out a bag of candies, pulled out irregular candy fragments, put them in her mouth, closed her eyes, and savored them slowly.

She ignored Wave the entire time.

Wave awkwardly sat back down, silently weeping in his heart.

One was a strange girl eating candy with her eyes closed.

The other was a creepy man still staring at him.

Mom, why are the people in the Capital… all so strange!!!

Not long after, the two doors of the room were pushed open again.

“Capital Guard, Seryu Ubiquitous and Koro, reporting for duty.”

Seryu shouted energetically.

Oh oh! Looks like a normal one!

Seryu squatted down at this moment, and she and Koro stood on either side, scattering a handful of petals on the ground:

“Dr. Stylish, is ready~”

A man wearing a monocle elegantly strolled in, lightly pressing his chin with a finger, his tone languid:

“First impressions are fashion, this is a gentleman’s cultivation.”

Oh no, is this one a cross-dresser?!

Wave’s mouth twitched, and he instinctively shrank back.

Dr. Stylish’s gaze immediately locked onto him, his eyes lighting up:

“Oh my, though he looks like a country bumpkin… though not as good as that captain, he has a good foundation~.”

“I will ‘polish’ you well, please guide me in the future~.”

A charming wink was thrown.

Oh no oh no oh no! He seems to really like me!!!

Wave’s internal alarms blared frantically.

Just then, the door opened again, and a handsome blonde youth smiled as he walked in:

“It seems I’m the last one to arrive, hello everyone.”

“Yo, hello, my name is Wave….”

Wave lay on the table, wanting to cry but having no tears. None of these people seemed normal.

“I am Ran, pleased to meet you.”

Suddenly, Wave felt the person in front of him exude charm and quickly grabbed Ran’s hand.

Wuwuwu~, finally a normal person has arrived!

Wave was almost moved to tears.

“Everyone, I’ve made tea.”

The eerie hooded man who had arrived first held six cups of tea and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

“I apologize, although I arrived first, I am very shy, so I haven’t dared to speak.”

The teacups were placed down one by one.

“I should be the oldest among you, and also a Teigu user, so I hope we can get along happily in the future.”

“I am Bols from the Incineration Unit.” Bols gently said, placing the tea tray on his chest.

“Ha… ha…” Wave laughed awkwardly.

Is this the appearance of someone who is shy around strangers?

But Dr. Stylish propped his face with one hand, staring at Bols.

Incineration Unit…

It is said to be a stylish unit that can burn anything, be it people or objects, to ashes.

I see, in that case, such an appearance is acceptable, but it’s not my type.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door was kicked open violently!

A blue-haired woman wearing a mask walked in and looked at the six people.

Counting her, there were now seven people in total.

“Oi, who is it?”

Wave was surprised.

“What are you doing here! All new faces.”

The masked blue-haired woman’s cold aura instantly enveloped the entire room, pointing her finger at everyone.

Wave instinctively stood up:

“Hey, we were summoned to gather—”

“Bang!”

Before he could finish explaining, he was kicked flying, hitting the wall heavily, then falling to the ground with his eyes rolling back.

Except for Kurome, who was still enjoying the delicious candy, the gazes of the other four people and one dog were all focused on her.

“There are assassins among the thieves, so you must always remain vigilant.”

The woman’s movements did not stop, instantly closing in to exchange blows with Ran, all of which were blocked.

Very good reaction speed.

Swish swish!

In the air, one person and one dog leaped high, attempting a sneak attack.

“If you’re going to sneak attack, you’d better hide that killing intent better!”

The grinning Seryu in the air was yanked back hard by the masked woman’s reverse hand and slammed onto the ground. On the other side, the small dog Koro was also hit in the face with ice and couldn’t move.

Buzz—

Kurome, with the candy in her mouth, silently drew her sword—“Swish!”

The mask split in response.

“Even if it’s a joke, I can’t control myself here,” Kurome mumbled indistinctly, with the candy in her mouth.

“Is this the Teigu ‘Yatsufusa’? It’s really sharp.”

The masked woman chuckled, and the ugly mask on her face shattered and fell to the ground.

“Es… Esdeath General?!”

Bols exclaimed in shock.

“…It hurts.”

At this moment, Wave came to his senses and found that the masked woman was his superior. The sky was falling; even his superior was this strange?

Crack… crackle—!

The sound of ice shattering.
