[Ding! Target Chizuru Kagura is attempting mental probing on you! System "Anti-Detection Chaos Mode" automatically activated! Simulating ordinary human vital signs... Simulation successful!]
"Interesting."
Chizuru Kagura's lips curved into a competitive arc.
The more mysterious something was... the more she wanted to unveil it!
"Since you're a tourist..."
A mischievous gleam flickered in her eyes.
"How about... experiencing Tokyo's most thrilling nighttime attraction?"
She patted the rear seat of her Ducati and issued an invitation dripping with challenge.
"Dare to... get on?"
The surrounding bikers witnessing this nearly dropped their jaws!
Dear god!
The "Wangan Queen"... is actually inviting a man onto her bike?!
This... this is more unbelievable than Halley's Comet crashing into Earth!
"Sure."
Yet facing this "honor" that would drive any man wild, Cloud simply shrugged with breezy nonchalance.
As if he wasn't getting on the "Wangan Queen's" ride.
But rather... a shared bicycle heading to the farmer's market.
He strode up to the red Ducati and plopped himself down with complete familiarity!
And that wasn't all!
He very "naturally" extended both hands and wrapped them directly around Chizuru Kagura's slender waist—that "devil-class" figure wrapped in her tight racing suit!
"!!!"
Chizuru's body went rigid!
An unfamiliar scent saturated with male hormones, combined with those large, slightly warm hands pressed firmly against her lower abdomen, sent her usually calm heart racing uncontrollably!
In her entire life, she had never had such intimate physical contact with any man!
"Wh-what do you think you're doing?!"
A lovely blush spread across her cheeks, and her queenly aura instantly crumbled.
"Didn't you tell me to get on?"
Cloud wore an innocent expression while his hands around her waist "inadvertently" tightened.
"Holding onto the person in front when riding a motorcycle—isn't that standard procedure? Otherwise... if you brake suddenly and throw me off, whose fault would that be?"
His shameless logic left Chizuru completely speechless.
She actually felt like... he had a point?!
[Ding! Target Chizuru Kagura's Affection change: +5 (This bastard! He actually... actually dared to cop a feel! But... why is... my heart beating so fast...)]
"Hold on tight!"
Chizuru took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the strange feelings in her heart.
She put her helmet back on, and those bright phoenix eyes ignited with fierce competitive fire!
Shameless rogue!
How dare you take advantage of me!
Today, I'll show you what REAL "Fast and Furious" looks like!
"VROOOOM—!!!"
She twisted the throttle hard!
The red Ducati roared like an awakened beast and instantly shot forward like an arrow from a bow, carrying G-forces that crushed the breath from your lungs!
That terrifying acceleration left the other bikers unable to even see her taillights!
...
On the coastal highway, a red streak of lightning tore through the night.
Chizuru Kagura pushed her riding skills to the absolute limit!
Leaning! Drifting! Wheelies!
Various high-difficulty, acrobatic maneuvers flowed from her like water!
She was the undisputed queen of this road!
And yet...
The scene she'd imagined—that shameless rogue screaming in terror, begging for his life—never materialized.
The guy behind her was as stable as if he'd been welded to her back like a stubborn plaster!
No matter how extreme her maneuvers, those hands around her waist never let go.
In fact...
They occasionally "slipped" up and down due to "inertia."
"Hey, listen..."
Cloud's voice drifted lazily to her ear from behind, carrying a tone of "technical instruction."
"You're taking this turn too tight. If you enter the corner 0.3 seconds earlier, your exit speed could be at least 5 km/h faster."
"And your shifting timing is way too conservative. The RPMs are about to redline before you upshift? Are you racing or driving a tractor?"
Chizuru: "???"
She felt she had just received an unprecedented professional insult!
She, the "Wangan Queen," was being critiqued on her riding skills by a "lost tourist"?!
"You... shut up!" she shouted, equal parts embarrassed and furious.
"Don't believe me?"
Cloud chuckled lightly.
"How about... I take over?"
Just then, Cloud's expression subtly shifted.
His radar-like Divine Combat Instinct clearly sensed an extremely faint energy fluctuation—carrying "divinity" and "probing" intent—quietly emanating from the girl in front of him.
Like the most precise scanner, sweeping through his body again and again.
[Ding! Target Chizuru Kagura is using the Yata Mirror's origin power for deep probing! System "Anti-Detection Chaos Mode" has automatically upgraded to "Ultimate Disguise: Random NPC Mode"!]
"Oh? Finally couldn't hold back?"
Cloud's lips curved meaningfully.
He knew the real "game" had only just begun.
He remained still, allowing that mysterious power to flow "unobstructed" through his body.
Meanwhile, the more Chizuru probed, the more alarmed she became!
She was horrified to discover that her Yata Mirror power—capable of seeing through the essence of all things—produced absolutely no ripples after entering this man's body!
