—"Hidan."
More accurately, it should be called Scarlet Hihiirokane.
It is a rare and mystical special metal that allows its bearer to wield extraordinary abilities far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.
(It's quite similar to Urm Manadyte...)
With this thought, Fang Li unconsciously touched the activation body of Bo Xie at his waist and turned his gaze toward Aria.
Aria, too, placed her hand on her chest.
There, a bullet made from Scarlet Hihiirokane— Hidan— had been embedded by this young girl's great-grandfather, the world's most famous detective.
In other words, Aria had inherited Hidan.
In theory, unless something unexpected happened, she should be able to use extremely powerful abilities.
For example, Sherlock had previously demonstrated two terrifying abilities in front of Fang Li— teleportation and time-space manipulation.
These extraordinary abilities were all derived from the power of Hidan.
Therefore, in theory, Aria, who inherited Hidan, should also be capable of wielding such frightening abilities.
If she truly managed to do so, Aria's power would become formidable, to the point where even Fang Li couldn't afford to be careless in front of her.
After all, even the Urm Manadyte could only grant one special ability, and that was the same for the third-rank Bo Xie.
But Hidan, or Scarlet Hihiirokane, was far from being limited to just one ability.
During the battle with Sherlock, he had never directly used Hidan against Fang Li; he had only utilized teleportation once, and only for evasion.
If at that time Sherlock had teleported directly behind Fang Li and attacked his heart, Fang Li would have already been dead.
Therefore, the issue of Hidan is something that cannot be taken lightly.
Aria clearly understood this as well.
"In fact, after that, I also tried using the superpowers, but it seems like no matter what I did, I couldn't succeed," Aria said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's been inside me for three years already, but it doesn't listen to me at all. Is it really that amazing?"
Despite her words, Aria hadn't given up.
"After all, it's the only thing great-grandfather left for me."
Aria pressed her hand to her chest and looked ahead, as if she were speaking to a famous detective who wasn't present.
"I didn't inherit great-grandfather's remarkable deduction abilities, so at the very least, I'll inherit what he entrusted to me."
"So, I've already made up my mind."
"From that moment on, I'm no longer 'Quadra Aria' but 'Hidan No Aria (Aria the Scarlet Ammo).'"
—"Hidan No Aria (Aria the Scarlet Ammo)."
Hearing this title, Fang Li could only smile wryly.
(So that's why this world is called 'Hidan no Aria'?)
In the Dungeon Worlds Fang Li had experienced so far, even in older worlds like *Tsukihime* and *Shakugan no Shana,* Fang Li remembered some of the original stories and settings due to their unique worldviews.
But *Hidan no Aria* was the world Fang Li was least familiar with, to the point of complete unfamiliarity.
Therefore, it made sense that Fang Li had spent about a year in this world.
It was only now that Fang Li finally understood that the central figure of this world was this seemingly young and stubborn girl in front of him.
In other words, as this girl's partner, Fang Li would probably not have much free time in the future.
"I came here to rest, though..."
Even as he said that, a faint smile unknowingly appeared on Fang Li's lips.
In this situation, Fang Li turned to Aria and spoke.
"Have you already decided?" Fang Li asked. "According to Sherlock, Scarlet Hihiirokane is something that could spark wars between nations. If you're determined to inherit it, the path ahead will be very difficult."
In the past, when facing I-U, Aria had mentioned that it was a terrorist organization so feared by major nations that even a few Butei couldn't handle it.
But now, Aria wasn't just dealing with a feared criminal organization— she was facing powerful forces within countries around the world.
Facing such enemies alone would be far worse than death.
"Even so, have you decided to face it?"
Fang Li's question was met with Aria's bright smile.
It was a cute yet stubborn smile.
Then, Aria responded.
"Who cares about them!"
Aria bounced forward from the sofa like she was on a swing, landing in front of Fang Li. She turned around, her twin ponytails swinging behind her, and made a gun gesture at Fang Li.
"No matter who they are, if they come at me, I'll make holes in them!"
Although it was an overly optimistic and boastful statement, Aria's face showed no hint of darkness, only a cheerful smile.
"Besides... I have you as my partner, don't I?"
Saying that, Aria suddenly became shy, glancing at Fang Li from the corner of her eye.
"You'll help me, right?"
At that moment, Aria's cuteness was overwhelming.
Her slightly lifted gaze, her large watery eyes peeking at Fang Li from below—it was so adorable it could have been a mural.
And so, Fang Li half-surrendered, half-amused, raised his hands in a gesture of defeat, and spoke.
"Even as partners, you know that requesting a Butei's help comes with a fee, right?"
Hearing this, Aria smiled happily.
"Then, how about paying with tomorrow's peach buns from the top-tier dessert shop?"
Fang Li was dumbfounded.
"Hey, hey, wasn't that my treat?"
"What's the difference? We're partners, right?"
"That's way too cheap!"
"Then I'll give you two."
"You're so stingy! At least give me three!"
"No way, two is two!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"Three means three!"
"Two means two!"
The two of them suddenly got into a childish argument.
Then, at a certain point, they stopped in unison, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.
If someone else were present to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly think:
"Heavenly Punishment!"
Right, Heavenly Punishment.
Huh?
At that very moment, a figure suddenly dashed in from the balcony.
And without hesitation, this figure swung a katana down toward Aria while shouting it's name.
