"Don't worry, it's just difficult. I'm the undefeated queen, and I'll definitely be able to get you the minimum punishment."

Oh, sister?

Shaka then interjected:

"Because the criminal organization behind the robbers is a group that even the police find troublesome, in order to protect Haibara's personal safety, we hope that Attorney Eri Kisaki will participate in the defense as a lawyer hired by the police."

Shaka said seriously, "This is to protect Haibara, and also to protect you."

Eri Kisaki's expression turned serious, and she nodded earnestly: "I understand."

Xia Jia thought for a moment, and since there seemed to be nothing else to add, she said:

"Regarding defense costs, we will provide them in the highest possible manner."

……

After saying goodbye to Eri, the two took the elevator downstairs.

"The case has been accepted, and now we just have to wait for the court hearing."

"Ah."

The two went out the gate, and Xia Jia hailed a taxi.

In the taxi, Shaka teased Haibara: "How could you say something like that?"

Haibara said nonchalantly, "What? Pretending is just a basic skill for women. An old lady of that age can be easily fooled and will do whatever you want."

"Wow, that's awful."

"Humph, can't you?"

Shaka eagerly replied, "No, I just wanted to say, after running so much for you, can you say 'Onii-chan~ Daisuki' in that same tone?"

"Pervert, lolicon." Haibara said with disgust, her eyes filled with malice.

"Ugh, you're clearly a legal loli." Shaka crossed her arms and looked up, complaining.

"Ah, I'm so sad. I spent so much money and I can't even hear a 'Onii-chan' from him."

Haibara glanced at Shaka, who was feigning disappointment, then her eyes lit up and a smile curved her lips as she spoke in a very childlike and adorable voice:

"Shaka Oniichan~~! Arigato na~~~~!"

Hearing Haibara actually say such a thing, Shaka felt a chill run down his spine, as if countless ants were crawling on his pores:

"Ugh, that's disgusting. This clip is awful. It reminds me of that 'geigei'!"

"I'll feel sorry for you~?"

"Just talk to me like you normally do, I can't stand your clips."

Haibara gave Shaka a disdainful look and turned her head away haughtily: "Hmph~, you brought it on yourself!"

Xia Jia joked, "So, in the end, you didn't say 'dumb Suki'?"

"No Road Race!"

Chapter 265 Kazuma: I... the internet connection is down!

Mihua Town, own house.

They took Ai Haibara to buy some living supplies and equipped themselves with the basic electronic equipment needed for their research. The two returned home laden with their purchases.

As Xia Jia opened the door, she heard greetings welcoming her home.

Before he knew it, his detached villa began to liven up. There was a hardworking housekeeper who would occasionally come to flirt with his future wife; there was his adopted researcher sister; and there was also a beautiful young writer who would come to visit from time to time, eyeing his pure body.

This gave the cold room a touch of homey warmth.

Although Shaka longed to stay in this home a little longer, her desire for mystery outweighed her desire to enjoy the harem.

After a quick dinner, Xia Jia returned to his room. He skillfully opened the spatial portal, and a kunai in his hand shattered and turned to ash. His figure then vanished as a streak of starlight.

Orario.

The goddess was sitting in Shaga's room reading a book about how to forge weapons using divine blessings.

Seeing Xia Jia return, her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she slowly rose and walked to the boy:

"Welcome back."

Astraea gently stroked Shaka's hair and straightened his slightly disheveled collar.

After Ryu resolved her inner conflict, the goddess left Swordcraft City and returned to Orario some time ago.

During this period, I attended many divine assemblies, which can be considered as a declaration of the official return of the Astrea Familia.

Having a level 5 member in the family means there's no need to fear public opinion anymore, and Gale's wanted notice was promptly lifted.

After all, in this world where first-level adventurers are as rare as phoenix feathers, no one can do anything to Gale anymore.

A bounty? You put up a bounty on Ota and see who dares to take it.

After quietly experiencing the goddess's heartfelt intimacy, Xia Jia slowly broke free from the goddess's embrace.

"Lady Leah, a new companion is coming."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. It's okay if you don't need to rush."

In the two months since Shaka arrived, the entire group's level has been growing rapidly, and after Ryu's training these past two days, the group's abilities have seen a significant improvement.

The top tier of players, who have already achieved great feats, are mostly able to level up and are accumulating higher ability values ​​to increase their foundation.

Before Xia Jia could even leave the house, she was caught red-handed by Liu, who had received the news.

"You've been slacking off for two days already, get back to training."

In the training grounds of the Stardust Mansion, flames clashed, and sparks flew from fists and thighs. Two adventurers, each wielding the full power of their respective clans, engaged in a fierce battle of offense and defense.

If I get injured, I get treatment; if I'm too tired, I listen to the violin for a while.

Under intense training, both of their abilities are rapidly increasing.

When Xia Jia was completely exhausted and could no longer muster any energy, the two of them finally stopped.

"No, no, I can't. I still need to summon players later."

Bathed in sunlight and accompanied by the sound of a violin, Xia Jia began running laps around the Stardust Garden until her mental energy stabilized to a certain level, at which point she hastily convened a meeting with the group members.

This time, Shaka doesn't plan to lead the younger players himself. He prefers to adopt a strategy of experienced players mentoring new ones to ensure the healthy development of the clan.

This task was naturally undertaken by experienced first-tier adventurers.

Yuki patted her chest with a grin:

"Leave it to me! I'll take good care of everyone!"

Seeing Zi raise her hand enthusiastically, she said, "Miss Alfia is also looking forward to it."

Yui, holding her guitar, exclaimed in a cool and confident tone, "Hey, Guitar Hero Miss has joined us too, right?!"

Xia Jia nodded and pinched Yuki's collagen-filled cheeks: "You're really reliable."

After some simple preparations.

Shaka began the summoning ritual...

[A constellation of stars has gathered here!]

As the incantation ended, starlight flickered, magic power stabilized, and spiritual particles filled the prosthetic body. The loss of 150 points of ability replaced the 'flesh' body.

Amidst the bursting starlight, five figures appeared within the magic array.

They were all dressed in the same rough linen clothes typical of beginners, and their reactions to entering the game varied.

Sinon simply glanced at her surroundings, opened her mouth, and softly murmured a sigh:

"Is this what a full-dive game is like? That's amazing."

Hitomi Mishima felt her five senses in their true form, and all her fatigue vanished. Upon seeing Shaka, she went straight up to him and said, "Boss, what kind of work do you need me to do?"

Just as the boss said, this place can replace sleep!

I'd be willing to do all the hard labor all night just to get some sleep!

“I have special arrangements for you,” Xia Jia said calmly.

He then looked at the remaining people...

Boqi stood at the very back of the crowd, curled up with her arms wrapped around herself, clutching her bra tightly, which her coarse linen clothes could not cover.

You've been keeping your true abilities hidden, Miss Pochi!

"I, I, I, I..."

Her eyes darted around, and she mumbled something in a low, halting voice, but no one could hear her.

Xia Jia patted Youyi on the back, and the latter understood.

She skipped and hopped over to Goto Ichiri: "Poch-chan! You're here! Ta-da! This is my guitar, the Battle Axe V.02. Look, am I cool?"

Upon seeing a familiar face, Goto Ichiri's tension eased slightly: "I, I'm Pochi Death! Medical Miracle-san, hello!"
