Fingers didn’t look a day over forty, but his appearance redefined the word "creepy." Thin, short, and wiry, he looked like one of those doll-like henchmen from a dark fairy tale. Around his neck hung a collar-like ornament, and he wore nothing but a flimsy vest—if it could even be called that. It was practically just fishnet.
Sure, Cloud’s girls wore fishnet outfits too, but the difference was they actaully looked good in it. Here it looked.....out of place.

Boom!!!
In the Dangai, two figures clashed with explosive force.
A massive ring of white spiritual pressure burst out from where the two collided, stirring the space around them into chaos.
Both of them opened with the same technique—“Sweeping Slash.”
This move was invented by Yamamoto himself, a type of battōjutsu.
Anyone below captain level wouldn’t even have time to react—they...

However, there wasn’t much information Ron could find online.
After a moment of hesitation, he called Menchi. She seemed to be busy at the time and didn’t answer right away, only calling back a little later.
“Ron, is something up?”
Ron briefly explained the situation he encountered.
“Love Sardine, huh...”
Menchi thought for a moment before replying, “The culinary world is actually quite separate from the rest of society. For common...

"Really?" Misty's eyes lit up with excitement. Sally paused, a flicker of curiosity rising in her gaze. Shizuku took out her notebook, as if preparing to record that statement.
Ron shook his head and quickly added, "But I can’t guarantee it’ll work. You can give it a try, but don’t force it. If you overdo it and end up bloated, there’s no benefit at all."
Sally gave it a try and quickly gave up. Shizuku scratched out the line in her notebook. Misty, howev...

"Good morning
Senior Menchi.
Senior Buhara.”
Menchi handed over four cards and said, “Ron, these are for you—the Gourmet Paradise access passes!”
“Without special passes, you can only move around in the World Zone.”
“With these, you’re free to move between the World Zone, the Academy Zone, and the Graduate Zone—no one will stop you.”
“Buhara and I have just encountered some unexpected matters.”

"The Elite Ten are the ten most outstanding students at the Moon Institute in terms of culinary skill," Menchi said with pride. "They’re incredibly skilled—most of them are third-year students, though a few are in their second year."
"At that level, hard work alone can’t make the difference anymore. What matters more is talent. After all, no one doesn’t work hard here—that’s just the baseline."
Ron’s eyes lit up slightly. Since he intended to absorb...

Tessai stood on the high platform, issuing a loud command.
Countless Kido operatives, their faces veiled in white cloth and dressed in black priest robes, all formed seals in unison.
With their synchronized gestures, the massive black rod at the center emitted a dazzling glow of spiritual pressure.
Standing near the cannon, Kyōraku Shunsui couldn’t help but click his ton...

"Leave it to me." Leo first gave Judy a reassuring glance, then looked over at Lucy. After working together for so long, they had long developed an unspoken understanding—one look was enough to convey everything.
Lucy only needed to glance at the door with her Kiroshi Optics Mk.III implant, and she could immediately tell that Finger’s door wasn’t even on the same level as the elevator at Clouds. There wasn’t even a need to plug in a physical connector—just ...

The group walked out of Clouds without a word, took the elevator down the mega tower, exited the massive structure, and returned to the Delamain cab. On the way, Leo made a call to Judy, letting her know that Evelyn might be at Finger’s clinic on Jig-Jig Street.
That’s right—he said “might.” Woodman had told the truth, but Evelyn had been taken to Finger’s clinic several days ago. If Fingers had actually patched her up, there was no reason Evelyn wouldn...

Yamamoto was not pleased.
Ever since the spatial bubble incident, that idiotic disciple of his had vanished without a trace—practically evaporated from the world.
Based on what he knew of Kaelith, the kid had almost certainly gone to the World of the Living to investigate.
The problem was: after investigating, where was the intel?
Why hadn’t he sent a single report back?

The man’s body stiffened instantly. How did the other party know what he was about to do? No—how did they know there was a gun hidden inside his cabinet?
“You said you wanted to ask a few questions? Alright, let’s hear them first,” he said, trying to steady the situation.
This wasn’t cowardice—it was self-preservation. Better to gauge the other side’s intentions first.

The gang passed the scan without issue.
The only problem was with Leo.
Because he didn’t have a neural slot, nor any cyberware modifications in his body, biometric scans were ineffective on him. This was the first time such a situation had occurred.
The receptionist, drenched in sweat, had no idea what to do. In the end, they had no choice but to use a decades-old traditional method that had long since been phased out—calling out every doll in Clouds ...

“You all stay here and rest a bit—I’ll go help out in the kitchen.”
At the center was a round table, surrounded by a few resting benches. Shelves nearby were stocked with various items. The entire restaurant wasn’t particularly large and had been divided into several sections using folding partitions. Based on Ron’s estimation, the space could only accommodate three or four tables of guests dining at the same time. After all, the only two people working her...

At a massive port, a white cruise ship docked. Some passengers had just arrived, while others were preparing to leave. Most of the people onboard were tourists, and as for cargo ships, they had a separate port entirely.
But even just for passenger traffic, Gourmet Paradise didn’t rely on a single dock—there were many, spread across the area. The sheer volume of people flowing through this place was immense, and...

“What do you all want to eat?” Ron gestured toward the menu in his hand.
Most of the dishes listed were made with local ingredients, consisting mainly of fish, octopus, shrimp, and crab from the surrounding waters. There were a few fruit options, mostly coconut and mango, and very few vegetables—though there were some seaweed-based dishes.
Misty swam over from the sea, and Shizuku walked up behind Ron.

Sally leaned against the railing, her entire posture relaxed. Shizuku quietly pulled out a notebook and began recording something. Ron, meanwhile, was gazing at the faintly translucent, colorless crystal orb in front of him—an object only he could see.
"It's ready to begin." Light particles slowly emerged nearby, drawn into the crystal orb.

Leo gave Lucy a small nod before standing up. A faint glint flashed across his tactical visor.
“Sorry. I hope this will make up for the scare you had,” he said calmly.
The woman, busy straightening her disheveled clothes, shot him a cold look. “You think you can buy me off with a few lousy eddies? Let me tell you, I’m not that kind of woman!”
But the words had barely left her mouth when regret swept over her face, because only then did she notic...

Leo pointed at Lucy standing behind him. “Exactly, and I don’t want to repeat myself again. My patience is limited—if you keep resisting, I’ll have my companion pull the answers straight out of your neural link.”

This answer left Hisoka feeling somewhat conflicted.
“I see… thanks.”
After hanging up, Hisoka, lying in his hospital bed, fell silent.
As for Ron’s response—Hisoka believed it, and yet didn’t. There was always the possibility that Ron had lied, and that was something Hisoka had no way of verifying. Information worked that way: if the other party didn’t speak, you wouldn’t know; but even if they did, you couldn’t be sure it was the truth.<...

The flames disappeared, and the web woven from Bungee Gum also vanished. The entire arena was filled with scorched marks, the result of the intense heat from Natsu’s fire, resembling the remnants of an air raid. Only the area near where Ron had stood remained relatively untouched.

Cults like Eden’s Gate were at least somewhat understandable—after all, such groups usually preached that the end of the world was near, and if you wanted to survive and carve out a place in the new world, joining them was the only way to be saved. Leo could still understand why someone would fall for that kind of rhetoric.
