Chapter 126: When Will Vengeance End?
Before long, Psykos carefully used her Psychic Power to guide a massive red bubble out of the base.
This was something Aokiji had entrusted to her, saying it was for Mosquito Girl's punishment.
Psykos's gaze was mocking and sneering as she looked at the motionless Mosquito Girl.
"Let's go, you know what's going to happen."
Mosquito Girl felt bitter inside, yet she didn't dare to disobey.
To think this wicked woman caught an opportunity; things were looking grim now.
Psykos gleefully stared at Mosquito Girl's stiff and miserable back.
She hadn't finished her sentence just now.
You know what's going to happen, but you definitely don't know exactly what's going to happen~
Psykos recalled Aokiji's description of this bubble.
She was amazed that Aokiji could develop such a miraculous Psychic Power.
She also felt the joy of revenge regarding what Mosquito Girl was about to endure... fatigue is extracted, but physical strength does not directly recover.
Tatsumaki was still lying weakly on the sofa, glancing at Aokiji as he walked back.
"Feeling much better now, aren't you?" Aokiji sat down beside her.
"...Won't it return after a while?"
"I found a mosquito to bear it, don't worry."
Aokiji brushed away the strands of hair sticking to her cheek.
He helped Tatsumaki tie her hair into a high ponytail for easier movement.
"Want to continue?"
"..." Tatsumaki turned her head away.
After a long while, a voice as soft as a whisper came out.
"You're not allowed to move, let me do it."
"Fine."
Aokiji relaxed and lay down, no longer moving.
After waiting for a while, Tatsumaki, having recovered a tiny bit of strength, used her Psychic Power to help her body move.

The intense midday sun shone directly down.
But it could not penetrate the expensive blackout curtains in the villa's room.
Inside the dim room, there was peaceful sleep.
Aokiji lay in bed, refraining from lazily stretching his body.
He moved the soft figure lying on top of him aside.
Aokiji got up and left the room.
He washed up and tidied himself.
He took several massive chunks of meat out of the cold storage.
It was all meat taken from Monsters that had mutated from animals.
It was full of energy and had extremely high nutritional value.
Provided it was cooked through.
After finishing a mountain of meat that was taller than himself, Aokiji also preheated a normal portion of food.
He began to Train in the villa's backyard.
At the same time, he checked the pictures Psykos had sent last night.
Tsk, tsk~
Aokiji clicked his tongue and shook his head, sighing, "When will vengeance end?"
Psykos really doesn't mind the trouble.
Even if Mosquito Girl was weakened by the Fatigue Bubble, she still had the body of a Dragon Level Monster; to think she could be reduced to this.
She even said it was to prepare for me.
The last message was a video; the recorder was naturally Psykos, her haughty voice filled with smugness.
[Don't blame me, Exec~utive~ Mos~quito~ Girl~, this is a mistake of your own making.]
[And it's not just a punishment, it's also to prepare for Lord Aokiji's next visit. Once Lord Aokiji arrives, he can skip the intro CG.]
[Come on, look at the camera and say hello to Lord Aokiji.]
In the crystal-clear video.
As the main subject of the video, Mosquito Girl sat on the peculiar chair Psykos once used, her eyes blank and devoid of emotion.
Yet her expression was an unconscious, dazed smile.
[Lord Aokiji... Lord Aokiji... huff... uhee...]
[Honestly, can't you even speak properly anymore?]
Psykos seemed to be complaining, but it was actually a victor's posturing.
At the end of the video, Psykos crouched down next to Mosquito Girl, capturing both of them in the frame while helping Mosquito Girl show herself off.
[Lord Aokiji, I will keep taking care of Executive Mosquito Girl to ensure she is always ready to receive you until you come to visit.]
If I never go, does that count as neglect play?
Aokiji pondered this serious question.
Light footsteps came from inside the villa.
Tatsumaki, with a hint of sleepiness on her face, slowly ate the food Aokiji had prepared as she walked to the backyard.
"What are you thinking about? Your expression is so serious."
"A biology-related question," Aokiji said casually.
"Do you think if we let mosquitoes breed in a cold environment, they'll produce mosquitoes that can suck blood in the winter?"
"Boring!"
He didn't know which keyword triggered Tatsumaki's nerves.
She scolded him in embarrassment and speechlessness:
"You bastard, has your brain been knocked out?!"
"You are what you eat. Do you feel like you've become smarter?"
Tatsumaki's chewing paused, a blush appearing on her face.
She activated her Psychic Power, fiercely wrapping around Aokiji and pulling him toward her.
"Say that again and I'll rip it off!"
"Go ahead and rip it, it'll just be a piece of ice anyway, and it can grow back." Aokiji was indifferent to the terrifying threat. "I'll even leave it as a souvenir for you, for when you miss me..."
"Go to hell!!"
Tatsumaki raised her leg—her feet, which rarely walked on the ground, were quite soft and smooth—and kicked Aokiji with a fierce Aura.
Then she rolled her eyes at Aokiji and went back inside the villa to continue eating.
Aokiji followed her inside.
"I forgot to mention yesterday, the Association is reforming the Hero Rank System and establishing the S-Class Hero Rank. Do you want to join?"
"If you beg me, I'll join."
Tatsumaki smiled back provocatively.
Aokiji rubbed his chin and muttered at a volume Tatsumaki could hear:
"Then next time I'll say the same thing. Beg me and I'll..."
Tatsumaki fell silent: "..."
She shrunk back uncomfortably.
It seemed she had dug a hole for herself.
"All you think about all day is that kind of thing..." Tatsumaki grumbled with her head down.
"Do you think I'm a nuisance and don't want to work with me?!"
Aokiji really wanted to say yes.
But seeing Tatsumaki's expression, he knew that if he wanted to save the villa, he definitely couldn't say that.
"I should be the one asking that. Don't you want to work with me?"
Tatsumaki really wanted to say no.
But her tsundere heart, which never expressed her thoughts straightforwardly, made it impossible to say.
"Can't I just want to be a hero myself?!" Tatsumaki swallowed the last bit of her lunch and asked back proudly.
"Just you wait, as soon as I join, I'll snatch away your title of the strongest hero!"
"That's going to be very difficult," Aokiji said solemnly.
"After all, I'm usually the one on top of you, and you can't stay on top of me for very long."
Tatsumaki gritted her teeth.
Veins and a flush of anger appeared together.
She looked like she was at the limit of her patience.
"Stop mentioning those things! Don't you feel any shame?!!"
"Like I said, I wasn't the one sticking my tongue out..."
BOOM————!!!
A collision of power exploded!
The air currents instantly went wild!
Shredding the furniture on the entire first floor of the villa into pieces.
An unscathed Aokiji looked at the wreckage.
"The floor you broke last time hasn't even been repaired yet, and now you've made a mess of my house again."
"Humph! Serve you right!"
Tatsumaki turned her head away, her ears beneath her green curly hair slightly flushed.
Aokiji sighed helplessly:
"It seems I'll have to make a mess of your 'house' next time too."
"Shut up, you pervert!"
Tatsumaki couldn't get over it and rushed at him, flailing her arms and legs.
Ding—
A new message received.
Aokiji picked up his phone to check it with one hand while pressing the other against Tatsumaki's face, letting her gnash her teeth and kick and punch.
"Alright, Future Strongest Hero Young lady, would you like to go on your first hero activity with me?"
