Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

"Holy crap, are these anomalies going to start a fight?"

Upon hearing Orlando and Mato's words, a newly hired employee exclaimed in surprise, then nervously turned to the person next to him and said:

"Senior, should we evacuate now?"

"Evacuate? Evacuate for what? Can't you see Senior Shen Yu is here too?"

After hearing what the other person said, the Level 5 staff member pointed at Shen Yu in front of him, then ran excitedly to the break room to get snacks and a stool; other employees from the same department came with him.

Upon witnessing this scene, employees who had not been assigned tasks went back to call their department staff and clerical personnel; while some employees who were already carrying out tasks asked, "Please help record this video."

"Why? Why is this happening? How did all the employees in my company become like this... Although it's human nature to enjoy gossip, I don't know when they turned into bloodthirsty spectators like Little Red Riding Hood?"

Just as Shen Yu was lamenting why his education had turned out this way, a large crowd had already gathered around him; then Carly, who had rushed over angrily upon hearing the news and wanted to retreat, decisively joined the crowd of onlookers after seeing that Hollow Knight was on the side of the battle.

In an instant, the atmosphere became heated; the people around even held their breath, staring intently at the two opposing sides.

However, after exchanging their intentions, Matto gripped the bone nail in his hand and launched the first attack on the Hollow Knight.

A flash of white light appeared, and Mato's sword technique, which he had been preparing for, suddenly erupted, transforming into a dazzling wheel. The fierce slashing energy and sword aura roared as it slashed towards the hollow knight in front of him.

At the same time, Orlando drew Durandal from his waist and conjured a spear, charging towards his opponent like a chariot.

…………

“(Stoka) can use another strike to save his life for the next time.”

After uttering a sigh, Mato entered a meditative state that did not require his conscious effort to maintain; while Orlando, like him, entered a peaceful sleep.

The Hollow Knight then took out a blanket that appeared out of nowhere and covered the two of them; then he took Durandal, compared it with his own nail a few times, seemed to have discovered something interesting, and put it back into Orlando's scabbard.

"Hey, no—it's over already? I haven't even started eating yet."

Upon seeing the scene before them, the employee who had just opened the packaging bag looked completely bewildered and spoke up; while Carly, standing beside him, stroked her chin and then said:

"Hmm, it seems like I'm still not quite used to this body in this world."

"Wait, Minister! What are you talking about? Can this anomaly really exist within our company—no, within the realm of human understanding?"

"What's the point of all the yelling? That guy's not going to beat you up anyway—get back to work!"

After offering a rebuttal, Carly dismissed the onlookers and sent them back to their workstations; then, listening to the chatter in the company, Shen Yu spoke to the Hollow Knight beside him:

"Well, this is roughly where we work. Would you like to take a look around the city?"

Upon hearing Shen Yu's words, Hollow Knight paused for a moment, seemingly pondering the word "city" in the other's language.

At the same time, the little knight excitedly stepped forward, waving his chubby little hands and making a few gestures towards the other party.

After seeing the little knight's sign language, the Hollow Knight turned around and nodded slightly to Shen Yu.

"Alright, let's set off now. While we're at it, let's bring the Azure Echoes EGO to them and see how Roland's rainbow squad's plan is progressing."

…………

"Hey boss, are you coming to inspect our work so soon?"

After receiving the message from the other side, Roland scratched his head, then turned around and complained to Azure Echo, who was still observing the family situation:

“Hey bro, you better not look at the decorations in our room yet—the boss is coming to inspect the work soon, let’s hurry up and meet up. Also, he brought your equipment with him.”

"Oh dear, it seems my boss is quite impatient. But I really want to know what exactly Lobotomy Corporation's EGO equipment is? How does it differ from the products in the workshop?"

"Sigh, are we heading out already? Looks like working at World Wings is quite busy—remember to come back early. Also, everyone, remember to get along well."

After overhearing their discussion, Angelica gave them a word of advice; Roland and Algania responded with smiles and a few words of agreement before leaving together.

As the two walked together, Algania slightly turned her head, her gaze passing over the patrolling Third Security Brigade, and looked towards the library standing in the mist in the distance. Then she spoke:

"It seems that even the Wings of the World has its own problems that are difficult to solve. Since that strange library arrived, in addition to a bunch of strange things happening in the city, even more strange guys have emerged."

"I say, Roland, are you really sure you've made the right choice?"

"Hey bro, like you said—do you really think it's that easy to get into the Worldwing's Nest? But the boss is really good. Besides the rabbits, those weirdos are in charge of security here; strictly speaking, it's much safer than other places."

"Have you forgotten? Even K Nest, which was previously known for its safety, has experienced major incidents."

"Yeah, that's right... I just wonder which direction the city will take in the future?"

After making a remark, Algania suddenly seemed to remember something, then turned to Roland and said:

"By the way, there's something I really want to ask—when exactly did Lobotomy Corporation acquire the technology to control anomalies? According to what I knew before, weren't those things completely irrational and incomprehensible chaotic beings? Why is it that after making contact, I found that apart from their somewhat eccentric personalities, they don't seem to be much different from humans?"

"Well, technically speaking... I don't think it's very likely. It's probably more about the boss and that junior knight. But you don't need to worry too much. Even if the anomaly goes out of control, the boss, the junior knight, and the captain can handle it."

After replying to Algania, Roland took out his phone to browse the upcoming task indicators.

However, at that moment, Azure Echo suddenly called out to the other party, pointing into the distance and saying:

"Hey, you, the guy you were talking about, the little knight senior? He doesn't look small either, he's even taller than me."

"Huh? What are you talking about? The little knight in front of me looks about the same size as a child... Wait, what did I just see?"

Following the gaze of the lingering blue echo, Roland was startled to see the Hollow Knight in a white tuxedo in the distance; his mind went blank for a moment, and he dialed a number with trembling hands, speaking into the other end:

"Hello, Angelica? I don't think I can come back for dinner."
