Slash the Scarlet Eyes: Start with a Starburst Air Stream Slash Chapter 112

Fikma Mountain Range.

“Is that guy Lin Yu still not back?”

Will kept adding freshly chopped wood to the bonfire, muttering, “I should have known better than to let him go out. These two bears are enough to eat.”

At his feet were the already butchered black bear ingredients.

Rustle, rustle.

“Lin Yu, is that you?” Will probed again. Could it be that more food had come to their doorstep?

“It’s me, and Kurome,” Lin Yu said, pulling Kurome’s small hand as they emerged from the forest.

“Kurome? Shouldn’t she be on a mission with the Captain in the east?”

Will was puzzled by Kurome’s sudden appearance.

“That’s because the Captain had a temporary notice, asking you and me to switch places, and Kurome was sent to inform us,” Lin Yu said, stepping forward and putting an arm around Will’s right shoulder, patting him in a carefree manner.

“Kurome, is this true?”

Will looked at Kurome. Compared to Lin Yu, Kurome was more reliable.

Kurome nodded blankly, remaining silent.

“So, do I need to go over now?” Will asked again.

“Don’t rush, go after you’ve eaten your fill. Going on an empty stomach isn’t good,” Lin Yu said, showing a kind expression. He walked to the bonfire, picked up the skewered bear meat Will had prepared, and began to roast it.

Good buddy, eat more, so you’ll have the strength for the journey.

“Yay, meat!”

Kurome quickly squatted by the bonfire, her eyes fixed on the roasted bear meat, a hint of drool escaping from the corner of her mouth, waiting to be fed.

“You’re right, let’s eat our fill first. That way, we’ll have more energy for work.”

Will also sat on the other side, looking at the roasted meat with anticipation.

He could consider skipping other people’s meals, but Lin Yu’s cooking, he had to have at least a bite. At worst, he would take it with him and eat it on the go.

An hour later…

Will, with a bulging belly, lay on the ground contentedly: “I can’t eat anymore, I really can’t eat anymore.”

Seeing Will in this state, Lin Yu looked at Kurome. She was still eating, and her stomach showed no sign of bulging.

As expected, they were from the same root and origin; they both had a black hole in their stomachs, right?

“I want to eat more…”

Kurome lifted her head, quickly wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, and put on an expression that suggested she hadn’t eaten much and was still very hungry.

Good, good, absolutely identical, cut from the same cloth.

Lin Yu couldn’t help but applaud. This performance of ‘burying one’s head in the sand’ was truly magnificent.

“Then you two continue eating. I’m full. I’ll go to the Captain’s side now and digest a bit.”

Will sprang up from the ground, patted his bulging belly, and waved goodbye.

“Alright, have a safe journey.”

Lin Yu smiled in response, watching Will gradually disappear from sight.

At this moment, Kurome blankly pulled Lin Yu’s clothes, looking up: “Lin… Lin Yu… I… I want to eat more…”

“Of course, but not now.”

While Kurome was still in a daze, Lin Yu picked her up by the waist and started running.

Plans can’t keep up with changes. If he continued to stay in Jaegers with Kurome, he would expose himself sooner or later. He didn’t have the power to crush Esdeath yet.

What if the Queen turned yandere?

Lin Yu ran wildly through the forest with Kurome in his arms, the fallen leaves rustling under his feet.

Kurome curled up in his arms, her eyes wide, her small hands clutching Lin Yu’s clothes tightly.

“Are we leaving Jaegers?” Kurome asked softly.

“Of course, don’t you want to see your sister?” Lin Yu continued to run wildly, showing no signs of slowing down.

“Sis… sister…”

For a moment, Kurome’s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. She naturally wanted to see her sister, but would her sister accept her?

“Right? Reuniting with your beloved sister must be your greatest wish, Kurome,” Lin Yu laughed loudly, suddenly making a sharp turn, almost throwing Kurome off.

The trees ahead suddenly thinned out, and a cliff appeared in sight.

Lin Yu’s eyes lit up. Not only did he not slow down, but he also sped up.

“Wait, Lin Yu, ahead is…”

Before Kurome could finish her sentence, Lin Yu had already leaped, holding her as he jumped off the cliff.

“Don’t worry, come out, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!”

Lin Yu shouted coolly in mid-air, making an exaggerated summoning gesture with his right hand.

He could get a Red-Eyes Black Dragon later if he had time.

A huge black shadow suddenly rose from the shadows beneath their feet.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon materialized, letting out a deafening roar!

“Bang!”

Lin Yu and Kurome landed on the dragon’s back.

“To Night Raid!”

Lin Yu patted the dragon’s neck.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flapped its wings fiercely and soared into the sky.

Lin Yu took this opportunity to open Kurome’s only branch route.

Good stuff, strengthening high-end combat power. Otherwise, 60% of the ability would be the weakest in the same tier, right?

Currently, the four Imperial Arms users and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon would definitely be the main bodies. As for the Rock Ape that could use the Iron Mountain Lean, since it wasn’t black, it was directly passed over. He’d find a black one to replace it next time.

As for his favorites, they were definitely the little boy-girl and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The little boy-girl’s advantage was that he hadn’t properly examined his body yet; his whole body was an undeveloped area.

As for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, as a noble flying type, raising it was definitely not a loss.

Forget it, only children make choices. He was grown up; he wanted both of them.

Night Raid’s backyard.

“That guy Lin Yu, I really misjudged him!” Mine kicked a small stone on the ground, her hands on her hips, her pink pigtails trembling slightly with anger. “That playboy, narcissist, irresponsible scumbag!”

Sheele sat quietly on a stone bench nearby, weaving a flower crown, her long purple hair gleaming softly in the sunlight.

She looked up and smiled gently: “Mine, Lin Yu is actually a very nice person…”

“Nice what! That guy’s a bastard.” Mine turned around huffily, her face flushed crimson. “Having you, Sheele, isn’t enough for him, he’s still thinking about others, and even me…”

She suddenly choked, as if remembering something particularly embarrassing, the tips of her ears turning red.

Sheele tilted her head, her weaving motions uninterrupted: “What about him?”

“He… he…” Mine stammered, unable to form a complete sentence, finally stomping her foot in exasperation, “Anyway, he’s a bastard!”

“But Lin Yu is always reliable on missions. Although he’s carefree, it’s also to make everyone happy. Even though he seems unreliable, he always makes the safest choices for those around him.”

“Plus, he can cook, sometimes makes me laugh, and accepts my clumsy flaws. I think… there probably won’t be another man like him in this world.”

Sheele said softly, “And the maid outfit in your room, wasn’t that bought for him…”

Mine’s face flushed even more: “Th-that’s because I wanted to wear it myself.”

“And when Akame stole his food, he wasn’t…”

“He’s the cook, it’s only right for him to coax me,” Mine jumped up like a startled cat. “Sheele, you’re just too kind, that’s why you get fooled by such a frivolous man!”

Sheele smiled and placed the finished flower crown on her head: “But I think Lin Yu is very sincere. Although his actions are sometimes exaggerated, his feelings for his comrades are genuine.”

“Exaggerated?” Mine waved her arms exaggeratedly. “He calls that ‘a man’s romance’! He always strikes such embarrassing poses when summoning that broken dragon! And those ridiculously chuunibyou lines…”

Just then, a huge shadow swept over the backyard.

Both of them looked up simultaneously, only to see a massive Blue-Eyes White Dragon soaring overhead. A familiar figure could vaguely be seen standing on its back in an extremely exaggerated pose, his trench coat flapping wildly behind him…
