After Hayashi said that, Tohru’s eyes widened.
Under Tohru’s gaze, Hayashi tore off a piece of beef.
Then, with one hand, he pried open Kamishiro Rize’s mouth and stuffed the beef directly down her throat.
Since she was unconscious and had no swallowing reflexes, Hayashi had to use two fingers—yes, the two longest ones—to push it in.
As soon as the meat reached her throat, her biological instincts kicked in, and the food slid into her stomach.
In an ins...

Tsubaka finished the tea rice, sipped the lemon tea, and chatted with Hayashi.
Perhaps because they were both chefs and neither had graduated from Totsuki, Tsubaka naturally had a good impression of Hayashi's identity and cooking skills.
The two talked about quite a few things.
Tsubaka looked around Hayashi’s small diner and really liked it.
Although her dream used to be to become a gymnast, her current realistic dream was probably to own a small shop like this.

"Fixers gotta have special info channels."
Leo reused his classic dodge — no real explanation given.
V, curious as ever, pressed him, "Come on, tell me — what's wrong with that drug? Was it defective or something?"
"With your unstoppable intuition, isn't the answer obvious?"
Leo closed the hacker list and opened his browser.

[Leo]: Shironeko, help me find Sasha Yakovleva's contact info online, and check if she's still a solo operator or if she's joined the Edgerunners yet.
[Shironeko]: Understood. Executing now.
[Leo]: Also, you sorted my computer data — do you have info on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners in there?
[Shironeko]: I do. Transmitting now. But please remember, this real world is far more complex than a ten-episode anim...

By midday, V emerged from her room, looking refreshed. The slight curl of her lips and the relaxed lines on her face made it obvious she was in a great mood.
And why wouldn't she be?
Three meals a day, zero responsibilities, and a 1,000-euro daily salary — who wouldn't be grinning?
As soon as she stepped out, the living room's surveillance camera swiveled toward her.
A red infrared beam scanned her face.
Once her identity was confirmed from the whitelist, the c...

First off, would Batman — the guy whose identity he'd exposed and whom he'd casually flirted with — really let him walk away?
Fat chance… No, given Batman's personality, there was a 100% chance he wouldn't let it slide.
Worst-case scenario? Leo was probably already on Batman's little black list.

To run an interdimensional trade operation, he needed two things — products and buyers.

Night City.
True to its name, the night didn't bring tranquility — instead, it ignited a frenzy far beyond the chaos of daylight.
Drunkards stumbled through the streets, yelling at nothing and no one.
Biker gangs roared through the roads on their motorcycles, the screeching tires competing with the screams of pedestrians.
But the worst of all were the distant echoes of gunfire — an ominous sound that could mean anything from a robbery to a gang war...

"Sure thing, Vivian. I'll call you V in public, and you can call me L. But we're at home, aren't we?"
"I said — call me V!"
Her rigid stance exuded a menacing aura, but Leo was unfazed. "You're getting all worked up again. Honestly, I think Vivian is a pretty name."
V clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white like granite. She looked like she could crush a skull with a single punch.
Unfortunately, that skull belonged to her employer. A...

V was right.
Barely two minutes had passed when the distinctive roar of a jet engine echoed from outside.
"Commencing docking procedure. Clear the area. Security protocol initiated. All personnel, lower your weapons and avoid alarming the client."
By the time Leo opened the balcony door with V by his side, Trauma Team operatives had already deployed a floating platform, neatly forming ranks.
An Atlas-class AV from Zetatech hovered steadily, its blue flames sco...

It had barely been 24 hours since Leo arrived in Night City, and Trauma Team already had him on their radar.
Just one more line — "Located in the southeast corner, second floor, on a double bed." — and his entire personal information dossier would be complete.

"So, what do you think? Not bad, right?"
"You can stay here tonight. Just lock the door and pretend we're roommates."
Leo circled the room, confirming once again that it was indeed a "small but well-equipped" space.
V, seeing the room's setup, finally felt at ease. As long as she had some privacy, she could accept the arrangement.
After fiddling with the control panel for a bit, V nodded in understanding. "This isn't a weapons storage room. It's an emergency shelter fo...

Back at the apartment.
Leo practically sprinted to the couch, collapsing onto it. Only then did he notice the dampness on his back. He reached behind and felt the cold sweat soaking through his shirt.
"Damn..."
Life in Night City was a little too intense. A simple outing had almost ended in him getting kidnapped by scavengers. It was hard to imagine how ordinary people managed to survive in this near-lawless chaos.
The ringing echoes of gunfire and the metallic thuds o...

"Opening the window could expose VIP client Mr. Leonardo to stray bullets or hazardous gases. I'm sorry, but I must refuse your request.
Please don't worry. I have already called the police. NCPD is on its way."
V was so pissed by Delamain's response that she laughed. "What's the NCPD gonna do? By the time they arrive, we'll already be corpses!"
Leo was shocked to notice that Delamain seemed at a loss for words after V's retort. The AI's digital mouth trembled slightly.

But... V's tendency to argue with anything and everything had given Leo such a strong impression of her that he couldn't even picture her putting on makeup.
However, the good news was—he might get to see it eventually.
He turned on the faucet.
The cool stream of water, tinged with a faint hint of chlorine, helped ease the discomfort in his right hand.
After washing his hands and face, Leo stared at the towel rack with a bit of a...

"I'm thinking of buying two sets of boxing gear. That way, you can teach me some combat moves indoors. My apartment's big enough to set up a training space."
"You want to learn combat?"
"Well, what do you think? You think the thugs in Night City will go easy on me just because I'm 'protected'?"
Leo shrugged, a frustrated look on his face.
V couldn't help but agree with his point. Night City was full of crazies. As long as they popped a pill before going into battle, th...

"Here, load the magazine, then let's head over to the range."
Wilson handed over a small box, containing two models of magazines—five of each.
The Lexington mags were plain, matching the color of the gun. The Kyoshin mags, however, were a bit fancier, with red-gold tips at the bottom.
The sleek starlight gray barrel of the gun took on a subtle crimson hue. It certainly added an unexpected touch of elegance.
V took the magazines with a dazed look, sliding one into the...

Wilson peeked left and right, confirming no other customers were around.
"Come on in—the good stuff's inside."
V raised an eyebrow as he unlocked the heavy security door. "Wow, hell froze over. Since when do you let people into your precious armory?"
Wilson shrugged. "Not never. Big clients get the VIP treatment. And trusted regulars… like you."
"You never invited me before."

Towering into the clouds yet brimming with the grit of everyday life.
And… Jesus, the NCPD pigs are everywhere.
That was Leo's first impression of Megabuilding H4.

The fizzy magic of carbonated drinks worked wonders, loosening everyone up. The conversation flowed naturally, and sensing the moment was right, Leo extended an invitation to Jack, hoping to bring him into his fledgling crew.

Returning to the second floor of the bar, Leo found V and Jack engaged in cautious small talk.
The two strangers, still sizing each other up, had positioned themselves on opposite sides of the small square table—a makeshift border between their respective territories. Jack on one side, V on the other.
Leo walked over and deliberately sat next to V—not that Jack wasn't a great guy, but ladies first, right?

V had seen all kinds of crazy in her years on the streets.
Drugged-up gonks. Net-addled braindances. Every flavor of cyberpsycho.
But this guy?
Leo radiated an aura that screamed "I don't belong here."
And in Night City, weird meant danger.

She lowered her gun, turning to leave.

"Welcome to Delamain. Leave your troubles at the door."
The cab's seatback screen flickered to life, revealing the polished chrome dome of Delamain—Night City's most (and only) autonomous taxi AI.
"Just 'Leo' is fine. We'll probably be seeing a lot of each other."
"Your trust is appreciated. Delamain prioritizes efficiency and safety—despite recent corporate restructuring."
"Restructuring?" Leo's eyebrow arched.
