What followed was an truly chaotic scene.
Perhaps Tatsumaki hated Fang Li to the point of insanity. After discovering that her Superpower was ineffective against him, she simply pounced on him and began scratching and biting him wildly.
Fang Li clearly hadn't expected Tatsumaki to hate him this much. He failed to react for a moment, and by the time he recovered, he had already been bitten several times.
Just as Fang Li was about to use Moon Blade to shave off Tatsumaki's beautiful fur, Sylvia and Fubuki hurried over to stop them.
After a frantic struggle, the unexpected commotion finally came to an end.
"Ow..." Fang Li rubbed his arm, which had been bitten several times.
"Honestly..." Sylvia helplessly rubbed his arm for him.
"Hmph!" Tatsumaki coldly snorted and turned her head away.
"Elder Sister..." Fubuki held Tatsumaki in her arms and couldn't help laughing.
Who could have imagined this? Only yesterday, these sisters had nearly come to blows, while Sylvia and Tatsumaki had fought so fiercely because of their conflict that they had turned part of A-City into ruins. And today, the same people were confronting each other in such an unusual manner.
Oddly enough, this situation allowed Tatsumaki and Fubuki to coexist peacefully. Fubuki didn't feel reluctant about holding Tatsumaki in her arms, and Tatsumaki didn't resist either. For the first time, the sisters were able to interact like this.
It really was an unexpected twist of fate.
However, Tatsumaki clearly had no intention of maintaining this situation.
"Woof! Woof woof woof!" Tatsumaki immediately began barking at Fang Li again.
"『Turn me back into my original form!』" Fubuki quickly translated. "I think that's what Elder Sister is saying."
Hearing this, Fang Li merely sneered. "You want to turn back? Forget it!"
"Grr...!" Tatsumaki glared angrily at Fang Li.
"What? You want to fight?" Fang Li refused to back down. "I'm always willing. But this time, it won't end as easily as yesterday."
"Woof! Woof woof!" Tatsumaki waved her paws furiously.
"『You think you can defeat me? Yesterday, I had simply used up too much of my power. If I were at full strength, I could take care of someone like you in five minutes!』" Fubuki translated again. "I think that's what Elder Sister is saying."
"Five minutes? Don't you think that's too long?" Fang Li raised an eyebrow and smiled at Tatsumaki. "I don't even need to use my full strength. Against someone like you, I could defeat you within ten seconds even if I only used half my strength."
"Woof! Woof woof woof woof!" Tatsumaki wildly waved her paws again.
"『Then come and prove it, you rookie hero who suddenly appeared out of nowhere!』" Fubuki sighed. "That's probably what Elder Sister is saying."
"I wouldn't mind." Fang Li glanced at Tatsumaki and smiled faintly. "It's about time I taught that old hero who can't even develop any femininity a lesson. She should go back and grow a few more years before coming out to lecture people."
"Yaaagh...!"
Tatsumaki was so furious that her fur stood on end. She struggled wildly in Fubuki's arms, seemingly ready to fight Fang Li to the death.
Fang Li also took out Moon Blade again and prepared to step forward. But before he could do so, someone grabbed him.
"Don't actually start fighting." Sylvia rolled her eyes at Fang Li and scolded him playfully. "Tatsumaki-chan isn't really hurt anymore. Why are you acting like a child too?"
"Woof!" Tatsumaki barked, apparently dissatisfied with Sylvia's statement.
But there was no denying it: Tatsumaki really was childish.
Ironically, despite her appearance, Tatsumaki was actually the oldest person present. After all, despite looking like that, this willful Level 5 Esper was already twenty-eight years old.
Seeing Tatsumaki acting so arrogantly, Fang Li had also become somewhat childish himself. Who could blame him? His impression of these sisters had already fallen to rock bottom.
If Sylvia and Fubuki hadn't been there, Fang Li and Tatsumaki probably would have already started fighting again.
Even Fubuki couldn't stand watching this anymore, so she turned toward Fang Li. "One Way Rakshasa, can you turn Elder Sister back to normal?"
She had no choice. Although Fubuki had considerable resentment toward Tatsumaki and had been deeply affected by her overprotectiveness, she was genuinely uncomfortable seeing her elder sister in this form.
Tatsumaki had already been someone who rarely listened to Fubuki. Now that she had become a dog, she was even less willing to listen to anyone. If Tatsumaki wasn't returned to normal, there was a real possibility that she would eventually lose control and go on a rampage.
By this time tomorrow, perhaps all of A-City would have disappeared from the map. Precisely because Fubuki knew what kind of person her elder sister was, she had brought Tatsumaki here.
Unfortunately...
"Didn't I already say it?" Fang Li answered directly. "Forget it."
Leaving those words behind, Fang Li stood up and walked out of the hall without looking back.
"Wait...!" Fubuki was startled.
"Woof!" Tatsumaki became even more anxious. She barked frantically and immediately tried to use her Superpower to grab Fang Li.
"Alright, alright. Calm down," Sylvia hurriedly stopped her, looking somewhat helpless. "Even if you argue with Fang Li now, it won't do you any good. Don't be fooled by how calm he normally is. Once he makes up his mind about something, he won't easily change it. If you keep forcing him, you'll only make things worse. It's best not to provoke him, okay?"
"Woof! Woof woof woof!" Tatsumaki's barking became increasingly frantic.
"『Then what am I supposed to do looking like this? When can I turn back?』" Fubuki hurriedly translated. "I think that's what Elder Sister is asking."
"I don't know either," Sylvia looked troubled. "But if Tatsumaki-chan keeps provoking Fang Li like this, then I'm afraid you'll really never be able to turn back."
"Woof! Woof woof!" Tatsumaki became furious again.
"『Are you saying you want me to submit to that guy? That's absolutely impossible!』" Fubuki translated with a wry smile. "That's probably what Elder Sister is saying."
"Then there's nothing I can do." Sylvia spread her hands helplessly. "Yesterday's incident already put Fang Li in a terrible mood. If you continue like this, Tatsumaki-chan really might have to remain a pet for the rest of her life."
"Mm...! Grrr...!" Tatsumaki gritted her teeth.
"In any case, until Fang Li gets over his anger, you should try your best not to provoke him." Sylvia gave a slightly mischievous smile. "Especially you, Tatsumaki-chan. If you don't want to be a pet for the rest of your life, you'll have to endure it for a while."
Those words caused a fierce internal struggle within Tatsumaki. In the end, she reluctantly lowered her ears.
It was a dejected expression that would have been absolutely impossible to see on Tatsumaki before today. Though, in this form, she was undeniably adorable.
