Slash the Scarlet Eyes: Start with a Starburst Air Stream Slash Chapter 104

The next morning.

Lin Yu woke up in a puddle on the floor.

Achoo—!

“As expected, I caught a cold. This is the consequence of not covering my stomach.”

Lin Yu sat up and rubbed his nose. He turned to see Esdeath still sleeping, and only then did he nod in satisfaction.

She looked quite beautiful sleeping. If only she were as quiet as she was now normally.

Lin Yu pushed open the door and returned to his own room. He changed into a fresh set of clothes and went to the living room.

Sure enough, Ran was sitting there reading a book and smiled at him:

“Good morning, Lin Yu. You’re up early today too.”

ψ(●—●)ψ

“Do you think I should stab you to death right now?”

Lin Yu was very sad. He was clearly the second most well-regarded person among the Jaegers before, yet he sold him out like this.

“That’s still better than the Captain personally taking action, right?”

“……”

“You’re right, Ran. It’s better if you guys take action than Esdeath.”

If it were Esdeath, he probably wouldn’t just be tied up.

“Forget it, I’m going to prepare breakfast.”

Lin Yu walked towards the kitchen. If he could raise the favorability of both Night Raid and the Jaegers, would it be possible for them to reach an agreement?

Currently, it seemed their factions were different. One side believed the other was a heinous group destroying the country and wanted to maintain the Empire’s rule; the other wanted to create a country that served the people and needed to eliminate all obstacles.

Everyone else was easy to talk to, but Seryu, Kurome, and Esdeath were a bit difficult.

Seryu, he had already thought of a way, though it was a bit cruel, but she would definitely become a guardian of justice in the new country in the future.

As for Kurome, he already had some ideas, but whether it would work still required some luck.

As for Esdeath, she was the most troublesome. She was one of the Empire’s two pillars.

Her ideology was deeply ingrained. The only breakthrough was to let her know what it meant for the strong to obey the stronger.

This would depend on Hakimi. It seemed he needed to be severely stimulated.

“Lin Yu, I’m here to help you cook.”

Just as Lin Yu was thinking, Seryu arrived as promised, with Koro poised at her feet, ready to launch a rocket headbutt.

Lin Yu quickly covered his crotch. This damned dog was quite vengeful. Didn’t he just owe it a meal from Uncle Ba? He didn’t make it take drugs, yet its addiction was still so strong.

“Thank you. Just slice all the ingredients.”

Lin Yu sat on the dining chair, holding Koro in his arms, picked up a large piece of beef, and activated Flashbang. Although beef protein was often ridiculed, it was still beef.

“Be good, Koro, this meat is also delicious.”

But Koro was unmoved.

“If you don’t listen, you won’t get any food later.”

Koro slightly opened its mouth. Was it fun to bully a small dog?

“Good boy.”

Lin Yu threw the beef in, and Koro’s face flushed.

I knew it, picky eater? That’s because you cook badly.

As the beef went down, Koro truly turned from a dog into a dog, just short of barking twice.

“Lin Yu, everything is cut.”

At this moment, Seryu revealed the prepared ingredients behind her.

Lin Yu nodded, put down the meat-craving Koro, threw all the ingredients into the pot, and left the rest to the system. This time, he wouldn’t specify the cuisine…

Dining room.

“Mmm, I’m so full~, I never get tired of eating this.”

Wave puffed out his round belly.

“It’s also the first time I’ve seen someone who can make food so fashionable.”

Dr. Stylish spoke grandly.

There wasn’t a single bit of wasted food on the table.

Lin Yu’s nose grew longer.

At this moment, he saw Kurome stealthily glancing at him again. When she noticed he saw her, she quickly lowered her head.

Huh? What’s wrong with little Kurome today? Not eating properly, and occasionally looking up to peek at him? Does he have flowers on his face?

“Everyone, from now on, Lin Yu is my exclusive lover.”

Esdeath wiped her mouth, stood up, and announced loudly.

This caused Kurome, Seryu, and Koro to turn their heads in shock first.

Followed by Wave, Dr. Stylish, and Bols.

Finally, Ran.

“Hmm? Kurome, Seryu, do you two have any problems?”

Their reactions piqued Esdeath’s curiosity.

“No… No, Captain, I’m just curious, how did Lin Yu suddenly become your lover?”

Seryu quickly waved her hand, but her heart felt as if a piece had been dug out, leaving it empty.

[Ding! Detected that target character Seryu’s trust value has reached 55%. Please continue to work hard.]

“If Lin Yu becomes your lover, Captain, will he still cook for us?”

Kurome leaned back in her chair, staring blankly at Lin Yu, her hand unconsciously touching her backside.

[Ding! Detected that target character Kurome’s goodwill towards the host has reached 30%. Please continue to work hard.]

“It was last night, didn’t you help too, Seryu?”

“Is… Is that so…”

[Ding! Detected that target character Seryu’s trust value has reached 60%. Please continue to work hard.]

“As for cooking, he will definitely still cook for everyone.”

[Ding! Detected that target character Kurome’s goodwill towards the host has dropped to 29%. Please pay attention to the other party’s emotions.]

Esdeath explained one by one.

As for Lin Yu, he silently watched Esdeath. Was this what they meant by pressure leading to motivation?

“Speaking of which, are any of you already in a relationship or married?” Esdeath asked.

Among the six members, only Bols raised his right hand high.

Eh eh eh!!!

Lin Yu and Wave were surprised.

This guy is married? Really?

“Mr. Bols, is this true?!” Seryu asked.

“Mmm… I’ve been married for six years. She’s really excellent, she always makes me feel like I don’t deserve her!”

Bols covered his face shyly, twisting his body.

Creak—!

One of the two dining room doors was quickly opened.

A guard stood at attention, his right hand raised in a salute, his left hand holding a report, and announced loudly:

“Lady Esdeath! The investigation around Mount Gokan has been completed….”

“….Now? That’s quite timely. You all, this is your first important mission.”

Esdeath led everyone into the conference room, to a tactical sand table, and drew with a pencil:

“Recently, as you know, a group of bandits has built a fortress around Mount Gokan.”

“Of course I know.” Seryu responded actively, “Some villainous groups have appeared near the Imperial Capital, and I was just thinking about them.”

“Hmm, let’s put those sneaky ‘Night Raid’ fellows aside for now and completely crush these petty thieves first!” Esdeath reached out and smiled.

“If the enemy surrenders, how should we handle them, Captain?”

Bols asked.

“Surrender is the act of the weak, so it is only right for the weak to be eliminated.”

Esdeath replied.

“Ah ha, ah ha ha.”

Seryu now showed a slight blush and smiled:

“These people are all guilty, everyone can kill them…. I…. It’s great to be able to join this unit.”

“So, just try to annihilate the enemy as much as possible.”

“Understood!”

Seryu responded with a smile, as if a piece had been added to her heart.

Slap—!

Esdeath’s hand slammed onto the tactical sand table:

“Before we depart, I need to confirm that each of you must defeat dozens of enemies. Future missions will also be like this. Have you all prepared yourselves?”

Bols stood before his Teigu, Rubicante:

“I am a soldier, I only obey orders. Even if it’s work like this… someone must do it.”

Kurome also raised her Teigu, Yatsufusa, and replied:

“Me too, I just strictly obey orders, and that’s all I’ll do.”

Wave looked at his Teigu, Grand Chariot, and pondered:

“I… I have a great benefactor in the navy. When I asked him how to repay his kindness, he told me to just work hard for this country.”

“So I will do it, and I will stake my life on it!!”

As Wave finished his bold declaration, Ran, standing beside him, silently closed his book:

“I wish to gradually gain experience to achieve a certain dream of mine. To achieve my goal, I naturally need to produce results!”

“What about you, Doctor?” Esdeath asked.

“Hmph~, my actions are based on a simple principle: the pursuit of fashion!!!” Dr. Stylish’s eyes suddenly widened, and he began striking various poses. “In the past, when I saw Lady Esdeath’s actions on the battlefield, they were so cruel, so powerful….”

He finally slid to his knees:

“And that is the fashion I want to learn!”

“……” Esdeath was silent, pulling down her military cap slightly and murmuring, “It’s good that no one is confused, otherwise….”

“What about me? I’m a chef, so I don’t need to go out and act, right?”

“Besides, I was beaten, kicked, and frozen back by you, Captain, when I was in the security forces. I probably don’t need to make a grand declaration, do I?”

Lin Yu felt the atmosphere was too serious, and it was time to change it.

“Of course not, you just need to be with me. Only you can be the exception.”

Esdeath replied with a smile.

“Phew~”

Finally, no more being a chef and a combatant….
