Yuu patted Genta's head and slightly applied healing magic to make the greedy little fatty feel better.
It was impossible to heal him completely at once; it would be too conspicuous, and besides, it served as a lesson for the chubby boy.
Gluttony was just a minor flaw, but taking things without asking and touching others' belongings without permission was highly annoying.
Taken more seriously, it could even be considered a crime.
But ultimately, Genta had called him "Brother" for so long, so Yuu helped him out a bit.
Reiko Akiba knocked on the door of Genta's house. Soon, the door opened, and Genta's father stepped out. He was a tall, thin man wearing glasses—Genji Kojima.
Reiko explained what had happened today to Genji Kojima.
After listening, Genji said to the two, "Consultant Hoshimiya, Miss Akiba, thank you for taking care of Genta. I will discipline this child properly from now on."
Hearing this, Yuu and Reiko bid farewell to the Kojima father and son.
Genta's throat was still uncomfortable, and knowing he had made a mistake, he didn't dare make a sound, simply waving goodbye continuously.
Yuu and Reiko then left, walking down the one-way street.
Reiko turned her head, her scarlet eyes under the baseball cap looking at Yuu. She asked, "Yuu-kun, when you drank from my water bottle yesterday, did you do it on purpose?"
Yuu put his large arm around Reiko's shoulders and teased, "Yeah, I thought maybe it would have Reiko's saliva in it, so I wanted a taste."
Hearing this, Reiko glared at Yuu. "You're so inappropriate."
"Alright, don't worry. With me here, no one will be able to hurt you at this concert."
Hearing this, a beautiful smile touched the corners of Reiko's lips.
As she walked, her body quietly gravitated closer to Yuu's side.
Just then, a dump truck carrying rocks quietly followed them from the street behind.
Yuu noticed the truck immediately and sneered inwardly.
Very well. Delivering yourself right to my door. Let's see what tricks you can play once I catch you.
However, there were quite a few people at the intersection, so Yuu said to Reiko, "Run. There's a vehicle chasing us."
Reiko immediately started running, looking back over her shoulder.
Seeing this, the truck driver accelerated instantly, completely disregarding the narrow passage.
The truck rampaged forward, smashing utility poles and concrete walls along the road.
There was an intersection ahead. Reiko said, "Yuu-kun, they're after me. Let's split up, or we'll both die."
Yuu smiled faintly. "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."
With that, the two ran to the right together. The truck also turned right, smashing off a corner of the wall as it followed them into the right-side one-way street.
Just then, another dump truck came roaring towards them head-on.
Two dump trucks?!
Yuu's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, the trajectory of fate couldn't remain entirely unchanged.
If he hadn't been here today, Reiko would be dead or permanently disabled. There was no chance she could escape.
Pincer-attacked by two dump trucks, it seemed they had entered a situation of certain death.
Reiko was startled, falling heavily to the ground and sliding. She was about to be crushed beneath the truck.
Seeing this, Yuu's eyes narrowed, and his speed exploded instantly.
His focus tightened, fully unleashing his strength while casting various buffing spells on himself with magic.
Yuu jumped in front of Reiko, clenching his right fist. As mana flowed through his body, strengthening his muscles and bones, a transparent shield also enveloped them both.
Half-kneeling on the ground, Reiko screamed in panic upon seeing this, "Yuu-kun, no!"
A cruel smile flashed in the truck driver's eyes upon seeing this. A mantis trying to stop a chariot; overestimating your capabilities.
Stepping on the gas would kill two birds with one stone, completing the mission. The driver stepped on the accelerator with even more excitement.
Yuu's face was calm, but his aura was like a dragon.
It had been a long time since he fully unleashed his strength, and he didn't even know exactly how strong he was now. Facing a dump truck head-on was a perfect test.
The next moment, he threw a punch, creating an explosive pressure wave.
BOOM!!!
The air itself seemed to explode, forming rings of shockwaves spreading outward.
With his powerful physique combined with supernatural power, Yuu's punch pushed the martial prowess of the Conan world to a new height.
The front of the truck was instantly crumpled. Stopped completely at the front while the rear wheels kept accelerating, the truck instantly flipped into the air, drawing an arc in the sky.
The truck flew over Yuu and Reiko, crashing heavily into the other truck desperately charging towards them from behind.
The two vehicles crushed together, the gravel from the beds spilling out and piling into a small mountain.
A fierce wind blew past, lifting Reiko's baseball cap, her long, curly black hair fluttering in the wind.
Reiko's scarlet eyes contracted continuously, her small mouth wide open. Looking at Yuu, who maintained his punching stance, she couldn't believe her eyes.
With his back to Reiko, Yuu wore an expression of physical pain. Fully unleashing his strength for the first time, he had exerted too much force and seemed to have strained a muscle.
Fortunately, he was quite versatile with magic and could heal himself. He should recover very soon.
Yuu silently circulated his mana, letting healing magic slowly take effect on his right arm.
At the same time, he turned and ran to the truck. Through the gaps in the doors and windows, he saw that the two drivers inside were already dead beyond dead.
However, these two weren't people Yuu knew; they were assassins.
Noah had already grasped all the intelligence on the underground forces in Japan long ago.
Like Maya Tachibana back then, these two assassins had taken an anonymously funded assassination contract.
Interesting. It's different now. Murder for hire!
Yuu quickly returned to Reiko's side, feeling absolutely no burden in his heart.
Those who kill will always be killed.
Not to mention these two assassins had just tried to take his and Reiko's lives. Even if they had luckily survived, Yuu would have finished the job.
He had gone to check on them partly for that reason, aside from confirming their identities.
Yuu returned to Reiko. She was still staring at him blankly, her scarlet eyes wide with shock, looking just like a frightened little white rabbit.
Yuu pulled her up, and Reiko immediately frowned and groaned in pain.
Only then did Yuu realize that her knees were scraped and bleeding from the slide.
He immediately picked Reiko up in his arms. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, his speed exploded. He sprinted out of the residential area like lightning and headed for his Lexus.
As for the surveillance cameras, Noah had already dealt with them.
Yuu placed Reiko in the back seat, just about to go to the front glove compartment for the first aid kit.
But Reiko suddenly hugged Yuu tightly, tears streaming down her face, crying beautifully.
"Yuu-kun, let's go to the hospital quickly, or you'll die."
"I know what this is. To save me, your body secreted so much adrenaline, bursting out your potential."
"I've heard about this before. A mother, to save her child pinned under a car, lifted the car with her bare hands, but died of organ failure afterward."
"Yuu-kun, to save me, you punched that truck away. You must have secreted even more adrenaline. Let's go to the hospital quickly. I'm afraid it'll be too late if we delay."
Reiko had found a perfect explanation for what had just happened. She was incredibly moved yet extremely worried, tears flowing freely as she kept urging Yuu to go to the hospital.
Yuu was momentarily stunned. Well, that saved him the trouble of finding an excuse.
He hadn't originally intended to use such a simple and brutal method.
It was just that Reiko's fall was too perilous; she was almost hit. He instinctively chose the fastest and safest solution.
Seeing Reiko so worried about him, Yuu had a flash of inspiration. He immediately feigned a weak expression and collapsed into her arms.
"Reiko, I don't think I can make it..."
Whether they went to the hospital or not, he would need an excuse. In that case, he might as well just form a contract with Reiko directly.
If things went smoothly, he wouldn't need an excuse. Reiko would also perfectly understand that it wasn't an adrenaline burst, just his normal performance.
Streams of tears immediately fell from Reiko's scarlet eyes. She panicked and tried to climb to the front to drive.
"Yuu-kun, y-you hold on! You'll be fine!"
Yuu immediately grabbed Reiko's body. "Reiko, don't go. I have something to tell you."
Reiko immediately turned back and hugged Yuu's body, letting his head rest on her breasts.
Indeed, fragrant and soft!
"Reiko, could you give me a kiss?" Yuu pushed his luck and asked for a kiss.
Reiko didn't hesitate. She lowered her head and kissed Yuu on the lips, tears dripping onto his face.
After the kiss, Reiko immediately raised her head. "Yuu-kun..."
Before she could finish, Yuu covered her small mouth with his large hand.
Yuu continued to feign weakness, but he wasn't really convincing.
The healing magic worked instantly; the muscle strain in his arm was already healed. It was truly difficult to act like he was on his deathbed.
But Reiko's mind was completely chaotic at this moment, entirely failing to notice that Yuu was faking it.
"Reiko, from the first moment I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you. Your scarlet eyes are the most unique I've ever seen, like rubies. You exude the aura of a goddess, like a musical fairy. Cough, cough!"
Reiko nodded incessantly. "Yuu-kun, I know. Me too. I was attracted to you too."
Yuu reached up and gently stroked Reiko's flawless, white face—her high nose, soft eyebrows, and full lips.
"I only have one wish. I want you to be my girlfriend. Will you say yes?"
Hearing this, Reiko hurriedly said, "Yuu-kun, I say yes! I agree to everything! Stop talking. I'm going to drive you to the hospital right now."
Hearing this, Yuu's eyes lit up.
He instantly sat up, pinned Reiko beneath him, kissed her red lips, his large hand climbing up to her peaks, while his other hand covered her thigh.
Yuu suddenly remembered Reiko's injured knees. Since they were about to form a contract, there was no need to keep the magic a secret.
He immediately cast healing magic. A tingling energy instantly wrapped around Reiko's knees, and the flesh continuously regrew.
Soon, her knees were completely healed, incredibly smooth.
This way, they could indulge in unbridled pleasure.
Yuu's hands constantly roamed over Reiko's soft body, his mouth launching an offensive.
This kiss lasted for ten minutes.
Reiko's face was completely bewildered. Is this what a dying person would do?!
Her face had already turned completely red. She pushed against Yuu's solid chest with all her might, finally pushing him up.
"Yuu-kun, are you okay?" Reiko stared intently at Yuu with her scarlet eyes.
Yuu smiled and said, "Of course I'm okay. What could possibly be wrong with me? I'm in fantastic shape."
"Reiko, I'm actually a magician. I did that with magic earlier. It won't harm my body at all. Look at your knees..."
It had been a long time since Yuu had used the "magician" identity as a cover, but the true situation was too complicated to explain.
Relatively speaking, explaining and proving magic was very simple and quick.
Moreover, it was easier for Reiko to accept.
Looking at her smooth, delicate skin, faced with ironclad facts, Reiko, though shocked, quickly accepted Yuu's explanation.
She instantly threw herself into Yuu's arms, her soft breasts pressing against his chest, crying tears of joy. "Thank goodness! It's so wonderful that you're okay."
But she quickly realized something, raising her head and glaring at Yuu.
"So, you were faking it just now?"
Yuu smirked. "You're not planning to back out, are you? That won't do. You can't back out of a promise!"
Reiko let out a nasal hmph but didn't say anything more, just hugging Yuu's waist tightly.
Her tears stopped, and a gentle curve lifted the corners of her mouth.
Seeing the haughty queen become so docile, Yuu felt deeply satisfied.
However, this place wasn't suitable for continuing their intimacy. With the huge commotion earlier, the surrounding area would probably be cordoned off by the police soon.
Yuu released Reiko, putting the baseball cap he had conveniently brought back onto her head. "Let's go, Reiko. I'll take you home!"
Reiko frowned and asked, "Is it really okay to just leave like this? What about the two trucks?"
"Leave that to me. I'll talk to Inspector Megure later. Those guys were desperate assassins, and we were acting in self-defense."
"If the police ask, exploding with potential in a life-or-death situation is too bizarre. Just say we dodged the two trucks by diving under another car, and then the two trucks crashed into each other, resulting in what they look like now."
Reiko obediently nodded.
Yuu climbed into the driver's seat, started the car, and headed towards Reiko's house.
In the back seat, Reiko agilely squeezed into the passenger seat, buckled her seatbelt, and turned her face to look at Yuu.
"What's wrong?"
"I wanted to be closer to you."
A smile appeared on Yuu's face.
The car soon arrived at Reiko's house. It was in an upscale villa district in Beika's 2nd block. Being an internationally renowned soprano singer, she could naturally afford such a house.
The villa district not only had a beautiful environment but also had very comprehensive security measures.
The car parked outside Reiko's villa. A look of hesitation appeared on Reiko's face.
Then, she haughtily raised her small head, exposing her fair swan-like neck, and said coquettishly, "Want to come in and sit for a while?"
Yuu naturally understood what this meant. However, this fated event had undergone significant changes, and he needed to investigate the situation first.
Currently, forming a contract with Reiko wouldn't significantly boost his strength. Besides, since the conquest was already complete, there was no rush.
Otherwise, if they were interrupted in the heat of the moment, it wouldn't be a pleasant feeling.
So, Yuu politely declined. "I have things to take care of later, and I need to go to the MPD to talk to the police and have them check what's in your water bottle. I'll come in next time."
He then advised, "Reiko, whatever happens, don't try to be brave. Call me directly, and I'll handle it for you. Try not to go out for the next few days."
But Reiko said, "But the day before every concert, I have to go to the park for 'forest bathing' (Shinrin-yoku). Otherwise, I can't concentrate on the music."
As Reiko said this, a strange glint seemed to flash in her scarlet eyes looking at Yuu.
Understanding her implied meaning, Yuu immediately smiled. "In that case, I'll come over tomorrow and do 'forest bathing' with you. If anyone else wants to hurt you, I'll protect you with magic again."
Reiko lightly punched Yuu's shoulder with her fist and smiled. "Then I'll leave it to you, Yuu-kun. Though I don't think we'll encounter large trucks in the forest again."
Having made the agreement, she unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and was about to step out.
Yuu stopped her, smiling widely. "Reiko, didn't you forget something? Where's your boyfriend's goodbye kiss?"
A look of hesitation appeared on Reiko's face. The kiss in the practice room earlier was fueled by the musical atmosphere, and the kiss in the back seat was driven by panic and concern, thinking it was a final kiss.
Now that she had calmed down, making her take the initiative to kiss Yuu was quite a challenge. Girls are always a bit reserved and shy.
A blush appeared on Reiko's face. Just as she was about to simply run away and open the car door, Yuu grabbed her with one hand and pulled her back.
Yuu domineeringly bit her red lips. He could never get tired of eating this "rouge"!
A long while later, Yuu finally released Reiko. Only then did she flee like a startled deer, running towards her house.
Yuu, smiling broadly and feeling refreshed, turned the steering wheel and drove towards the Suzuki Corporation.
Of course, before leaving, he once again arranged for people to secretly protect Reiko.
Better safe than sorry. No one said assassination attempts couldn't come one after another.
The security at Reiko's residence was very good, but Yuu could only be completely at ease with his own people watching, able to teleport over at any moment.
