Chapitre 131: Chapter 127: Dragon Hunt
''It's been a long time since I've seen you, Nemuri. You've been getting uglier since our last meeting. Are~ Is that wrinkle I see? Is your old age taking over you?"
''Wrinkle? I don't have it. I guess that brain of yours, which you don't use much, confuses mature female charm with wrinkles.''
''Ha! Mature female charm? As a woman in her forties, you are still a virgin."
"I'm not in my forties, I'm in my early thirties. And even though I'm a virgin, unlike a Bimbo like you, I have a boyfriend. It would be better for your boyfriend to buy a full-size human doll instead of you."
Nemuri and the Mount Lady stood with their foreheads touching, insulting, or mocking each other. Contrary to their sarcastic words, the expression on their faces was not so good. They were looking at each other with a forced grin, their eyes closed. Their foreheads were covered with a black band, their closed eyes were twitching constantly, and "+" shaped veins appeared on their foreheads.
Surrounding them were Mount Lady's hero team and Nejire, Rumi, Momo, and Ryukyu. The two groups were apologizing to each other with bitter expressions.
The quarrels between the two started half an hour ago and continued until this time. The girls had teamed up to help Ryukyu, Momo, and Nejire and were patrolling together.
They had done a lot of things during the patrol. They'd visited the game center, stopped by a few sweet shops, and even shopped for clothes Blake might like.
Ryukyu was with them the entire time. Thanks to her moderate personality, she had no trouble spending time with them. She followed the girls with a mild smile and kept up with them.
While the girls were having a good time, they encountered Mount Lady's team. Nemuri acted like an older sister next to them, and always quarreled with Blake when he was around. However, a sincere smile that she could not hide always hung on her face.
However, when Nemuri faced the Mount Lady, she had become competitive and bad-mouthed in a way they didn't see. This was another feature of her, but because of their fights, the people around them were looking at them more and more, giving them a headache.
''Boyfriend? You? I heard you had an affair with Blake, the so-called 'traitor'. But I don't believe there is such a thing. Blake is too handsome for you and you are too old for him. If it were me, that would be very natural." Mount Lady folded her arms under her breasts, bent her waist back, and tried to reveal her voluptuous body by making her hips more prominent.
''You? Hah, don't make me laugh. Blake wouldn't look at a Bimbo like you."
''Why is that?''
"Because your personality is terrible, you have no brains on your head, and you have nothing interesting except your body."
The Mount Lady's nervous expression was replaced by surprise. She pulled back her head and looked into Nemuri's face. When did Nemuri get so good at the word race debate? Nemuri and Mt. Lady had been fighting with each other for years and had always been on an equal footing. However, she just felt defeated.
The Mount Lady and Nemuri's quarrels were not the results of jealousy or hatred for each other. It was just a small conflict between two similar women. Some people's relationships wouldn't be full of smiles, sweetness, and rosiness, sometimes two "friends" would go over each other with slurs or small insults, and that's how their relationship was.
Wherever they encountered each other, Nemuri and Mount Lady would compete for beauty, bicker with each other, and have petty fights. However, these fights often had no winners.
For the first time in their friendship, she felt lost. And she had no answer to counter, Nemuri was hitting very well.
Well, it's very normal. Constantly clashing with Blake, who liked to bully and tease his girls and see them blush, Nemuri had consistently excelled in his choice of words and slamming. And Nemuri, being Blake's worst enemy in a squabble, wouldn't lose to the Mount Lady's simple words.
"A-Anyway... I still don't believe you're in love with him." The Mount Lady turned her head to hide her bitter expression and looked away.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I'm in love with him and he's so manly... handsome... nice guy... cooks well... sensitive and good lover..." Nemuri forgot her situation for a moment and started praising Blake. She could talk about Blake's good parts for hours, but she couldn't finish it.
She didn't realize it, but when she talked about Blake, she was like a wife talking about her husband's achievements. Her face was shining with love from the depths of her heart. As if she was talking to him, her eyes sparkled like precious crystals.
Noticing the silence, Nemuri stopped and looked around. The surrounding heroes gave her strange looks. The girls had bitter smiles, Mt. Lady and the others were looking at her with mild shock.
"And very, very strong…" Her voice grew lower and she finally fell silent. A wave of embarrassment hit her, she might have blushed violently if the Mt. Lady hadn't spoken.
"What do you mean, "Very, very strong?" The Mount Lady pursed her lips and tilted her head. She could not understand Nemuri's words, she was speaking as if he was the strongest person in the world.
"Whatever I said, Blake with the power he had…" Nemuri looked around. After looking at Ryukyu, Rumi, and Kamui Woods in turn, she turned her gaze to the woman and exhaled with a half-smile.
"Hah, he can win against anyone here." Nemuri puffed up her proud chest. She was strangely proud and happy to tell others about Blake's achievements. She might be developing a new fetish.
''Here you are being silly. There's no way he'll be that strong at just 18-19." The Mount Lady flatly refused. Blake was known to be strong, but there was no way he could be as strong as she said.
Ryukyu in 10th place, Kamui Wood in 7th place, and Rumi in the top three potential. The powers of those present were no joke. They were in that position because they had the strength, experience, and more to stay there. She did not think that Blake, who has been on the agenda of Japan lately, was that strong.
''Am I being silly? Do you want me to call him and prove it?" Nemuri and Mt. Lady brought their foreheads together again and looked at each other with nervous expressions. The tension in the atmosphere was at its peak once again.
"Ma~~ Ma~~ Calm down girls. There's no need to fight." As the two tensed once again, Ryukyu stepped between the two of them with a mild smile. She grabbed their shoulders gently and used very little force to keep them apart.
However, the two women ignored her words and gestures, continuing to stare at each other nervously.
'Go on. Call him." Mt. Lady challenged her with a small smile. That smile of hers had always stuck in Nemuri's mind before she was with Blake, and it was even in her dreams. This ignited Nemuri's anger.
"Okay, I'll call him. You better start picking the person you want him to beat." Nemuri was almost spewing fire, exhaling angrily through her nose. She pulled out her phone and called Blake.
The girls tried to stop her but she ignored them. The phone was switched on after a few seconds, and she put it on the loudspeaker specifically for Mt. Lady to hear.
"Hello, Nemuri? Did something happen, honey?"
Nemuri heard the way Blake was addressing her, smiled faintly, and raised her eyebrows meaningfully as she looked at the Mt. Lady.
"Darling~ Are you free?"
''Oh? This address… Am I drawn to something?" Blake was sitting in the boss's chair on the top floor of a skyscraper. He silenced the men in suits who were trying to talk to him by raising his hand and speaking with a pleasant smile.
"..." Nemuri bit her tongue, she was caught but continued after hearing the next words.
''Go on. Drawn me in, lady black hole~~''
"Haha…" Nemuri laughed at his sweet voice. She covered her mouth with her hand, chuckling, then began to explain the situation. ''OK. The situation is...''
Nemuri explained her situation to Blake, to the scrutiny of those around her. Blake listened to her in silence from beginning to end, and after a few moments, Nemuri's words were finished. He sighed and spoke.
"Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Where are you?"
''Hokkaido. I check the companies here."
''Oh, okay. See you soon.''
'See you soon. Is there anything you want?''
''No.''
''Ok. Bye.''
"Bye."
The phone hung up, Nemuri put the phone in her pocket and looked around. People around her were giving her strange looks for different reasons. Nemuri looked into the eyes of the Mount Lady.
''Company? Does he own something like a hero company? Also in Hokkaido. A little too far, isn't it?" The Mount Lady put a finger to her cheek and bowed her head. Her suspicions that Nemuri was having an affair with Blake were gone. She knew Blake's voice, like everyone else in Japan.
But what struck her was that she owned the company. U.A grads were known to open Hero Corporation, Agencies, and the like. Most of them failed and eventually went bankrupt, yet everyone with the exception thought they were the chosen ones among the crowd of people and jumped in.
She thought Blake had that kind of company in Mount Lady. Moreover, it was in Hokkaido, where she was born.
"It will take a long time to get from there to here. Shall we meet again in a few hours?" Mt. Lady would fight with Nemuri, but he wouldn't make things difficult for her. If it weren't for this exchange of words between them, they could have been good friends. Who knows, maybe they already were.
''It's not necessary. He'll be here soon." Nemuri shrugged. Given Blake's speed, it would take him a few minutes to get here from a remote location like Hokkaido.
But Mount Lady and the others did not know this. They found Nemuri's words strange, but Nemuri had no desire to tell them about Blake's private.
Tap! Tap!
Nemuri felt someone touch her shoulder. She turned her head and looked, Nejire and the other girls staring at her with a troubled expression. It was Fuyumi who touched her shoulder.
"Nemuri... look, I understand that you did it on a whim. But getting Blake to do this could only make matters worse. You know his power and…" Fuyumi stopped in the middle of the conversation and came close to Nemuri's ear and whispered.
"If he fights the heroes here, he'll probably win. And he will do it without emotion. If it comes out in your claim, it could draw more backlash on Blake. If someone who is feared beats the top 10 of the Heroes, the public can get out of hand and things we don't want to happen can happen."
"We shouldn't abuse Blake's goodwill and care for us like this..."
Nemuri's eyes widened. Fuyumi's words were true and she hadn't thought about it when she made the bet. Now that she thinks about it, it wouldn't be good for Blake to win the bet.
"I-I hadn't thought of that. I'll call him right away." Nemuri hurriedly picked up her phone and dialed Blake's number.
She had done it on a whim and hadn't thought about it while she was betting with the Mount Lady and talking to Blake. Now that she thought about it, she realized what a mistake she had made.
Blake's public image was at the bottom, and there were even petitions to have her jailed. As Fuyumi said, if he beat a few of the top 10 heroes, it would fire them even more.
She threw aside her bet with the Mount Lady. If she's going to make fun of her after this, so be it, some things were more important than a simple assertion.
"Hello." After a quick call, she heard Blake's voice. She sighed and spoke.
"Hello, Blake. The thing I told you is over, you don't have to come. ''
''...'' There was no response from the other side. After a brief moment of silence, Nemuri started stamping her feet. She wanted Blake to accept as soon as possible.
''Really?''
''Yes! Really. We're going home with the girls right now." Nemuri made up a quick lie, waving her hand in the air as if talking to him.
"But what I see is something completely different." Nemuri froze. The sound wasn't just coming from the phone, it was coming from behind her. A hand reached down from her shoulder and took her phone from her hand, hearing a flirtatious voice. It was a harsh voice, the harsh breath hitting her ear along with the words, tickling her insides.
"Lying is bad, Nemuri-san. You will be punished for this."
Surprised by Blake's sudden appearance, the heroes frowned at punishment. Although they didn't understand exactly what had happened, they knew that Nemuri hadn't made any mistakes, and it was very unreasonable for her to be punished for it.
As they were about to say something, they saw Nemuri smiling brightly. Her lips were trembling wildly, her smile forming as if punishment had been such a good thing for her.
"What kind of punishment?" Nemuri asked passionately. She'd finally be able to enter into the damn honey bucket called "Sweet Punishment". She had heard the girls talk about it, Nejire, Rumi and Fuyumi were constantly saying how beautiful it was, that they wanted to get away with this punishment sometimes for nothing.
"I determine this. All you have to do is, wait for Punishment to come and obediently accept it." Blake's authoritative tone silenced Nemuri. She nodded obediently, and after a small "hm" she spoke in a low tone.
"Blake I…" At least she worked. She tried to explain her situation and intentions, but Blake put his index finger to his lips and silenced her.
"Shhh... I heard you talk. You don't have to worry about that. I don't care. The thoughtful act you just did is enough for me." After kissing behind her ear, he passed the girl and walked in front of Ryukyu, who was still standing between the two of them.
Mt. Lady was watching the duo in shock. She had admitted that Nemuri was having an affair with Blake, but she didn't expect them to have such a good relationship. Nemuri's attitude towards Blake could not make sense of the fact that she was going to melt with just one move and that she was so willing to accept the "Punishment" that would come from him.
Blake came in front of Ryukyu. He looked at the gentle and humble beauty, Ryukyu was smiling modestly even now. She had her hands folded over her stomach. Even her demeanor was as gentle and friendly as her demeanor.
"Ryukyu, how about you be my opponent?"
"!!?" Ryukyu's narrowed eyes widened. She hadn't thought that Blake would choose her, yet she nodded and agreed. It would be better for her to fight him than to fight her girlfriend Rumi or the 6th-ranked Kamui Wood. Compared to them, with her weak strength, she could cause Blake less trouble.
"Please, be my guest." After agreeing, she gestured with one hand to the area where the hero agency was located.
Blake nodded, waved his hand at the girls, and started walking with Ryukyu. After the girls nodded, they followed the duo, ignoring the heroes and people around them.
The Mount Lady and her group stared at the increasingly distant group in bewilderment. Mount Lady motioned to her team to come before they followed behind them.
"What are your thoughts on dragon-woman, Hanbun-deshi?..." Walking with the girls and Ryukyu, Blake stopped for a second before answering. He waved to the girls looking at him and spoke to Scathach.
"I don't know why you're asking, but… she's nice, modest, and didn't crave worldly pleasures. Also beautiful and elegant, the list goes on. Why do you ask, Shisho?" Blake grabbed Nejire's cheeks and began to knead. Nejire put her hands on Blake's with a sweet smile.
"Yesterday you showed me something beautiful and made me see your potential. If you want her, I can help you get her. Of course, I won't force her, I'll just give you advice."
Blake began to think in Scathach's words. He glanced briefly at the woman next to him. Ryukyu was watching him and Nejire's sweet interaction. She had her hand on her cheek as she watched them with pure warmth, without any other feelings.
Blake wasn't sure about his feelings for this woman. His relationship with her was slower than any woman he's ever had. It was at turtle speed and they could barely call each other friends.
But even though his relationship with Ryukyu was very slow, progress was not lacking. It was slower than the others, and Blake could guess why.
A woman of Ryukyu age would want to get married. After a long period of loneliness, women of that age had experienced the turbulence of life. Worldly desires such as money, glory, and fame would give way to family peace, happiness, and the desire for children, and therefore women like Ryukyu would usually marry at that age.
However, Ryukyu didn't do that because she could live through it in her agency. Especially Nejire had a personality that fulfilled her wishes for happiness and children. Therefore, she had no desire to marry or find a husband.
In her relationship with Blake, however, this mentality was very influential and she unconsciously rejected Blake's advances. If he wanted to improve his relationship with her, he had to force her. But that wasn't for Blake.
"It's not the wrong way of thinking. It's pretty nice, but you forget her ancestry." Blake pressed Nejire's cheeks. Nejire's lip curled sweetly into an "o" shape. With her cheeks pressed in, she created a visual that could melt the hearts of many Nejire simps.
"What do you mean by that, Shisho?" The group turned right at the end of the street. Ryukyu's agency had come into view. Mount Lady's team followed behind them.
"Dragon, this woman's power is to be able to transform into a Dragon. She's not a Dragon, but she can transform into a dragon, so it's normal for her temperaments to be like that of a Dragon." Scathach was sitting on her throne, as she taught Blake. She had her legs crossed, with one arm resting on the throne, supporting her chin. Her eyes wandered around the empty throne room as a pleasant little smile appeared on her face.
The feeling of teaching a genius after a long time… Although she had trained many warriors, she had not felt this feeling after Chu Chulainn and Ferdiad. Even when she was training Chu's son (historically), this feeling was absent. And finally being able to feel that feeling again added a bit of color to her empty life, and the milliseconds and seconds that passed weren't so painful anymore.
"Dragons are honorable creatures. They believe it is their destiny to rule above all else. Especially men." The woman, whose nickname was "Dragons Conqueror", rose from her throne. She started walking around the empty room while waving her red spear.
"Female Dragons, on the other hand, seek a suitable male for them. It's more of an instinctive feeling than a mindset. When they find a man who can subdue them, they are involuntarily drawn to him and woo him. Therefore, if you want the Dragon woman, you must first crush her in a fight." As she walked through the throne room, she turned her head to the outside world behind the glass.
"You seem very knowledgeable about these matters."
"Haha… thanks to the Senpais." Scathach sighed longingly as she remembered Chu Chulainn and Ferdiad, a bitter laugh escaped her lips
"Senpai? What do you mean?" In between their conversation, Blake and the others had arrived at Ryukyu's agency. Blake entered first with Ryukyu and Nejire.
When they entered Ryukyu's agency, they got direct attention. Apart from the fact that three of the Top 10 Heroes were here, the presence of "Traitor" Blake instantly drew attention.
"You have two Senpai, they are geniuses like you that I once chose. They came to study where I was when they were a kid and over time they tried to flirt with me, but their way of flirting was so pathetic that I gave them some advice and educated them about it. That's why I'm so knowledgeable."
Scathach's words made Blake feel sorry for them. Being educated by the woman you love about impressing women with a sarcastic smile on her face was somehow pathetic. [EN: What Scathach told Blake was not about flirting, but rather about the general mentality of Dragons he hadn't seen before.]
Scathach's smile slowly faded as her crystalline, red eyes looked up at the sky. Above the masterpiece castle, the sky rippled, the dimension began to tear, and a huge dimensional rift appeared. The troublesome person emerging from within the dimensional rift caused her smile to fade.
'I have to go for now.'
"See you, Shisho."
After bidding farewell to Scathach, Blake stepped onto the training ground amid stares. The girls entered with him and headed to the edge of the field. After watching Blake's wide back for a while, Mount Lady moved into the girls' opposite position with her team.
"Shall we begin?" Blake and Ryukyu faced each other. Blake proposed to Ryukyu with a small smile.
Ryukyu sighed and nodded. As much as she didn't want to fight Blake, she had to. She could only hope that the fight would end quickly and things would not get any worse.
And so the Dragon Hunt began.
