A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Sawada, along with Murakami Kyoji, formed a team with Rose Orphnoch and Spider Orphnoch.

Sawada's strength is roughly equivalent to Faiz in his basic form plus Caesar, while Murakami Kyoji can barely handle three belts on his own.

In other words, the two of them can take on five opponents.

Uh, just kidding, that's not how the algorithm works, but two people attacking together can indeed easily overwhelm the original trio in the storyline.

The main reason is that Mihara was seriously slacking off. Uh, wait, there was something wrong with that last sentence. Mihara wasn't just slacking off; he was genuinely bad at it.

In short, the three of them together failed to defeat Murakami, and Murakami even escaped, giving Ooku an extra meal.

If it were Saya, the battle would probably be much easier, and Murakami Kyoji would likely not be able to escape either.

Of course, this is just a hypothetical scenario. In reality, no one can say for sure, especially since they have more than just three belts on their side. What if they take them all out in one fell swoop? Although the number is far less than the number of Heisei Rider Kicks, one wave of kicks would definitely kill Murakami.

It's a pity the conditions didn't allow it; otherwise, he could have simply split the Delta Belt into two Imperial Belts, instantly reaching peak combat power. The key issue is that Jiang Yang doesn't know how.

The AI ​​does have the capability, but would Jiang Yang dare hand over the belt to them? He's not a con artist creating his own future enemies. The question is, what is the probability that handing Delta over to the AI ​​will create two more powerful enemies for him?

The answer is, it's the Senpasen hairstyle!

Of course, there is another person who should also have this ability.

Hanagata should also have the ability to disassemble the belt, but if he were to do it by himself, he probably wouldn't finish even after his lifespan ends and he turns to ash.

Moreover, where would they find the experimental subjects needed for the dissection? They couldn't very well have Jiang Yang become the guinea pig.

Therefore, he had no choice but to give up on the idea.

Damn it, why doesn't the system have a one-click split and reassemble function?

When he came to his senses, Haitang and Teruo were no longer in sight, but no problem, with Hanzo who had been urgently recalled accompanying him, he could just follow them.

As a result, when Jiang Yang followed, he saw a young man's figure in Zhao Fu's shadow. The young man transformed into the form of King Orphnoch and was about to emerge from the shadow.

Jiang Yang pulled out a mineral water bottle and threw it over. The sudden noise interrupted Wang, who had appeared, and he retreated back into the shadows.

Jiang Yang thought to himself, "That was close! Luckily I made it in time."

"Jiang Yang, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, if you dare to lay a hand on this child, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Jiang Yang was furious. If he hadn't come, you would have become someone's snack, and you were still protecting him. You really are ignorant and fearless.

However, after what he just witnessed, he was now certain that the other party was indeed the vessel of the King of Ao.

Jiang Yang's heart sank slightly. King Ao really had appeared so far ahead of schedule. He had indeed changed a lot of things.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, so everything is still manageable. We absolutely cannot allow King O to be born.

Jiang Yang made up his mind.

"Haitang, it's getting late. We should take this child back to the orphanage."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? It's only past noon..."

"Oh, okay, then you can stay here. I'm going to find Zhenli and the others. I heard we're having hot pot tonight, I'm so excited!"

"You! Wait a minute, I'll take this kid back first."

Jiang Yang nodded and watched as Haitang took the person back to the welfare home opened by the AI.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Jiang Yang pulled out the Battle Driver. If he acted now, he could stop the birth of the King, and then kill Murakami Kyoji, and everything would be over.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Yang put away the driver.

It wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to do it, nor was it because Haitang was there; rather, he had other thoughts on his mind.

The AI ​​Group, Murakami Kyoji is unaware that the King of Ao has appeared, so he will definitely continue to create children with a high chance of survival. If left unattended, many families will be broken.

Although Jiang Yang could convince himself that this had nothing to do with him, as an individual, he felt it was better not to do such a thing.

Anyway, since King Ooal Gown has just woken up, it will take some time before he fully matures. Without enough food, the time it takes for him to reach his complete form will be greatly delayed. There's definitely something I can do.

A little while later.

Jiang Yang felt somewhat helpless looking at Haitang, who was urging him to leave quickly with an expectant expression.

This guy is really something, I have to admire him.

You've already been explicitly rejected, and you even got beaten up by Kusaka. Yet this guy still likes Mari so much. Uh, never mind.

Jiang Yang had originally planned to recite a few lines of poetry, but he didn't expect that in such a short time away from school, he would have already forgotten most of the knowledge in his mind.

The brain deteriorates if not used; that's certainly true.

What can we do but bring Kaido along? We've already agreed, how can we go back on our word?

As a result, too many people came, and there weren't enough seats at Keitaro's table, nor enough ingredients.

After all, in addition to the three people who originally lived here, there were also Jiang Yang, Kaido, Soga, Yuka, Kiba, and Abe Rina who came today.

There are nine people in total.

Today's meal is to celebrate Mari's successful recognition and the official start of her internship at the beauty salon. As for why Kiba is here, Jiang Yang has no idea. He probably just invited him along when Keitaro called Yuka over.

In short, there wasn't enough food here, so Jiang Yang treated everyone to a meal outside.

When Jiang Yang said he would treat her to a meal, he noticed that Cao Jia was glaring at him fiercely. This reminded him of the last time he said he would treat Cao Jia to a meal, but he ran away after finishing his phone and forgot to pay the bill.

I am so sorry, Heaven can bear witness, I really didn't mean to skip out on the bill.

I had Chinese food today.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork belly, Mapo tofu, boiled fish, braised beef with potatoes, and smashed cucumber—all of these are dishes Jiang Yang loves to eat.

It's perfectly reasonable for me to treat myself to a meal and order some of my favorite dishes.

Everyone except Soga enjoyed the meal.

Kaidou kept glancing at Mari, while Mari was glancing at Kiba, which greatly annoyed Kusaka.

Jiang Yang shook his head helplessly, wondering how he could have forgotten about that.

I had thought that as long as they didn't reveal their Orphnoch identities, everything would be fine, but I overlooked the fact that Soga is equally hostile to everyone who likes Truth and everyone who is liked by Truth.

But it's too late now, let's just take it one step at a time.

After the meal, Jiang Yang made an excuse to leave Cao Jia, Mu Chang, and Qiao in the private room, and told the others to leave first.

Of course, he wasn't trying to smooth things over; they should resolve that themselves. Everyone has their own fate. The main thing is that there's important business to attend to right now.

“You’ve all probably noticed that Orphino’s activities have become more frequent lately. Also, there have been several accidents recently, which have broken up many families.”

"What are you trying to say? That these things are connected to Orphnoch?"

The grass reacts very quickly.

"To be precise, it's related to the AI. To put it bluntly, the AI ​​is artificially creating children with a slim chance of survival. I hope you can help me."
