Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

It was more than ten minutes later when the chaos completely subsided, and then in what appeared to be a conference room on the fifth floor of the "Alchemy Pavilion"...

The characters are as follows:

Zhang Lan (arms crossed, brows furrowed in thought).

Martha (not knowing how to defuse the awkward situation, her face full of helplessness).

Ilya (burying her face in Martha's arms, sobbing continuously, her body trembling slightly).

Wang Kai (sitting innocently on the opposite sofa, staring at the people in front of him).

What remained were dozens of large eyes peeking through the crack in the conference room door.

……

After a long pause, Zhang Lan slowly stood up, gave Wang Kai a helpless glare, then walked to the center of the conference room, took a deep breath, and began to deliver her closing remarks like a high-ranking judge. (Note: The following parentheses contain Wang Kai's internal monologue.)

"Let me summarize what happened today and who was right and who was wrong..." ("Do you really need to summarize? Isn't it redundant to say something that's obvious at a glance?")

“Kyle, it was indeed Martha who took me to the bathhouse…” (“Of course, this building is like a maze. How could I have found it by myself without someone leading the way?”)

"And as the manager, I didn't even have time to inform the others about this..." ("It sounds like you have self-awareness, good! But I wonder which guy complained about my smell earlier?")

"Also, after Ilya accidentally bumped into Kyle, she sent the others away to find backup, choosing to stay behind and deal with the situation alone. While there was nothing inherently wrong with that, it was still somewhat dangerous. Just remember that next time..." ("Deal with the situation? It's clearly a one-sided accusation, throwing accusations around and ignoring any 'defense' before issuing a verdict.")

"Then Ilya suddenly launched a sneak attack on the 'stranger,' which was completely within the scope of the 'emergency avoidance' rule..." ("Is this what you call 'emergency avoidance'? It was clearly a sneak attack from the start, and she went for the kill. If it weren't for my ancestors' good fortune, that pretty boy's face would have turned into a roasted meat face...")

"And then, when Ilya realized she was no match for Kyle, it was absolutely necessary for her to flee immediately..." ("Flee? Before fleeing, he threw over a dozen fire magic bullets at me. Was it because the bathwater wasn't hot enough, and he came to heat it up a bit?")

"Finally, out of personal resentment, Kyle intentionally injured Ilya after she gave up resisting..." ("I didn't have personal resentment, it's just that the brat went too far, and a few spanks are considered intentional injury? All parents in the world should be arrested and imprisoned.")

"Before I announce who should ultimately bear full responsibility for today's incident, both parties have one last chance to defend their actions..." ("Let me speak first, let me speak first...")

……

Wang Kai immediately raised his hand and stood up, looking like a high-achieving student eager to speak in class.

Zhang Lan glared at him again, then turned to look at Ilya, who was still sobbing in Martha's arms, and said softly with a smile.

"Captain Ilya, is there anything I didn't mention in my summary, or anything you'd like to add? You can say it now."

Ilya only stopped sobbing for a moment, then turned her head slightly, glanced at Wang Kai across from her, and buried her face in Martha's arms again, letting out those utterly heartbreaking sobs...

Wang Kai was very familiar with Ilya's "cross-eyed look" just now. Wasn't this the same expression a "naughty child" would make after provoking him, then go to his parents like a villain accusing them first, pretending to be wronged and crying for a while without saying a word, desperately squeezing out a few tears to wet his parents' clothes to gain their sympathy, and then secretly glancing at the current situation to see if he needed to increase the "force of squeezing tears"...

"Well, you little rascal, do you think your skin is so thick and you can't feel anything? Still not enough?"

"Woooo..."

Seeing that yelling was useless, Wang Kai's gaze inadvertently met that of Martha, who was holding Ilya, and he took the opportunity to ask her a question as well.

"Martha, look at this girl, who do you think is right and who is wrong?"

Martha was a little embarrassed and quietly turned her face away.

"Well, I think... Kyle, you were a bit wrong. You shouldn't hit someone in such a sensitive area. It's bound to hurt, and what if it affects their ability to have children in the future? Don't you think so..."

Huh? What's with this personal opinion that goes straight through the atmosphere and even several dimensions?

"Crack~"

Zhang Lan slammed her hand heavily on the conference table, interrupting Wang Kai's words. The loud noise also made Ilya on the other side shudder as if "touched by the scene"...

Ilya froze, then reached out a hand to rub her buttocks, and her sobbing voice rang out again.

"That sound...it's terrifying, stop hitting me, it hurts..."

Zhang Lan realized that the slapping sound might be a "psychological trauma" for Ilya for some time to come, so he could only offer a smile as an apology.

Then, she turned around and walked up to Wang Kai with an expression that said, "Why are you arguing with a child?"

Wang Kai, who understood at first glance but found it unbelievable upon second glance, paused for a moment and said with a face full of doubt.

"What? You mean it's all my fault? I should bear full responsibility for this?"

"Yes! Let me explain..."

Zhang Lan deliberately lowered her voice, so that only the two of them could hear it. However, in the large, quiet, and soundproof conference room, even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Meanwhile, Ilya, who had quietly stopped sobbing, also perked up her ears...

"I'll set aside what you and Ilya said before you started fighting. After all, only the two of you were there, and with each giving their own version of events, who am I supposed to believe? For the sake of fairness, I have no choice but to ignore your one-sided statements during this time..."

"Huh? You're choosing to ignore the most crucial aspect of the whole thing: 'how the situation worsened'?"

Zhang Lan took a deep breath and began to launch into a long speech!

"I can only trust objective judgments, that is, the statements of third parties..."

"Martha and the others said that as soon as they entered the bathroom, they saw you shirtless, chasing after Ilya, who was paralyzed with fear, completely ignoring the girl's incontinence..."

"Then, without saying a word, he pinned the other person down, hitting them while constantly uttering threatening words..."

"Have you considered that she's just a teenage girl? Even if she's a bit... mean, just let it go in one ear and out the other. Besides, the other girls will be here soon with Martha to clear up the misunderstanding."

"You couldn't hold back for even a short time? And what's more, why didn't you stop after everyone arrived? Why did you spank a young girl's bottom in front of everyone for so long? Don't you have any pity for her self-esteem and dignity?"

……

Upon hearing this, Wang Kai nearly fainted from anger. He rolled his eyes, shook his head a few times like a rattle drum, and then pointed to his head as he replied.

"A young girl's pride and modesty. Look at me closely, can you compare to my half-skin that's almost been roasted, and this head of 'hot plasma perm' curls? Smell it...?"

Zhang Lan looked at the head of black, curly hair, tried hard to keep her mouth from twitching, and gently stomped her feet twice before speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Go and apologize..."

"NO!"

"You have to go even if you don't want to, otherwise..."

There's no way around it; this is the helplessness you feel when dealing with parents of unruly children. In other words, after a few scare tactics, the unruly child has given up on their "misbehavior," yet you still chase after them and hit them for so long. Of course, you vent your anger, but your image as a grown man is completely ruined. Now, to salvage some dignity, Wang Kai can only choose to swallow his anger.

Arguing with unruly children almost always leads to the same outcome, with each case only getting worse.
