Chapter 192: The Cursed Sword, Mumei
Riding my beloved little motorcycle, there’s no traffic jam anywhere.
Kenji rode a handsome, mechanical custom bike with a girl, the coolest kid in the whole place. Personally designed by the Intelligent Machine King, Screwllum, it had an extremely efficient energy conversion device and was all-terrain, capable of traversing water surfaces and even vertical walls. Even if your old man lived on the hundredth floor, you could still park this bike at his doorstep. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt
"You can ride a bike?"
Nami heard the roar of the engine and was slightly taken aback.
"The rules just said no flying, they didn’t say no riding. Besides, I’m not a contestant," Kenji said with a straight face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the custom bike shot off, disappearing from in front of Nami and the others.
It was eco-friendly with no exhaust, but the dust and smoke kicked up by the friction of the high-speed rotating tires against the ground made the group cough nonstop, blinding them.
Nami clenched her fist. Although she was fine, she was still left covered in dust. She had never seen such an arrogant person before.
Kenji: Well, you have now.
[Star Forger]: "@Dian Mei Ruan Ruan Mei, please give my thanks to Screwllum. The motorcycle rides great!"
[Dian Mei Ruan]: "If you like motorcycles, I can make you one using ’wetware’."
[Star Forger]: "I’ll pass. That sounds weird."
Flesh is weak, the machine is eternal, praise be to the... ahem.
Ruan Mei’s field of research was not mechanical ascension, but it wasn’t as if she couldn’t do it.
[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: "A motorcycle that can travel through time... do you want one, Kenji?"
He had some small inventions related to the domain of time; it wouldn’t be particularly difficult to make. The Meat Union Director, Ace, he could travel through time. In the TV tokusatsu show, Ace had returned to the future from the past, but he had never used that ability again afterward.
[Crash-Test Pilot]: "It seems Tiga’s skill library has a time-traveling ability."
Daigo knew many skills, but he never had the chance to use them. There were only so many monsters, not enough to use all his skills on. It was all because there were too few monsters.
Monsters: You’re amazing. You’re so noble.
[Earth Wrecker]: "Tiga has so many skills. I’m envious."
Gaia didn’t have as many skills as Tiga. It felt like Tiga’s skill tree was almost maxed out. It wouldn’t be strange for any new skill to appear.
[Ghost of the Uchiha]: "Nowadays, if you don’t have a time-related ability, it feels a bit cheap."
In the ninja world, time-based abilities seemed to be quite rare.
[Martial Arts Maniac Fox]: "Can the power of time save people?"
Section Chief Hoshimi Miyabi thought of her mother. She really wanted to see her again.
[Star Forger]: "It can. Just wait for the results. Leave the rest to time."
[Star Forger]: "Actually, that might not be necessary. Miyabi, send me that cursed sword of yours."
[Star Forger]: "This cursed sword of yours... it stabbed your mother, right?"
[Martial Arts Maniac Fox]: "..."
When it comes to opening old wounds, you’re really the best, Kenji, Hoshimi Miyabi thought, speechless. Although she was young at the time, she remembered it clearly. Before she had lost her reason, this cursed sword, Mumei, had pierced through her mother’s body. But... was there something inside the sword?
At the thought of being able to see her mother again, Hoshimi Miyabi sent the Ethereal-Slaying Sword: Mumei over. To hesitate for even a second would be a disrespect to her mother.
Miyabi didn’t care at all if she would be greatly weakened. She rarely used the cursed sword’s power anyway. For her, the sword was just comfortable to use; her own raw strength was enough to handle any situation.
The cursed sword landed in Kenji’s hand. It looked unremarkable, just like an ordinary katana. However, Kenji could feel that Mumei was trembling, pitiful and helpless.
"The mother of Miyabi... there should still be a remnant of her soul inside you, right?" Kenji knew that Mumei could understand him.
As expected, the cursed sword vibrated once. A wise blade knows its place. It knew that its life and death were in Kenji’s hands. The soul of that woman... there was indeed a little bit left that hadn’t been digested. All the sacrifices before her had been digested.
"Don’t you dare touch her. Otherwise..."
Kenji’s grip tightened, and the sound of the scabbard being squeezed could be heard.
Mumei vibrated submissively. Not only would it not touch her, but it would also take good care of her.
Poor little blade. The humanoid fox is strong enough, and her friend is a monster.
Kenji hung Mumei at his waist. He would deal with it after the competition.
"Coco, when do you guys plan to go to space?"
The strength of the Four Heavenly Kings was enough to travel to space.
"Anytime is fine. Although I’m very curious about the ingredients in space, I’m not in a hurry," Coco said with a smile. "There are still many undiscovered ingredients in the Gourmet World. There’s no need to rush to space."
The main quest was the ingredients of Acacia’s Full Course Menu. The side quests were the other ingredients.
"Indeed. There are a lot of ingredients in the Gourmet World," Kenji nodded. "The Carat Sizzled Cattle is a rather rare ingredient. Although the energy it contains isn’t as great as that of Gourmet World ingredients, it’s worth a try."
An ingredient that the IGO would take out as a prize... how could it be ordinary?
"By the way, Kenji, that Mr. Satan sitting on the stage... is he strong?" Coco asked.
He couldn’t feel any powerful presence from him at all. He was only a little stronger than an ordinary person. Did he have a way of hiding his aura? Coco began to speculate.
Kenji smiled. The character of Mr. Satan was very interesting. In a world of god-like battles like Dragon Ball, he still had a lot of screen time and played a significant role at some key moments. In terms of luck, Mr. Satan was really second to none. After the main characters defeated Cell, they all left, and Mr. Satan just happened to stay there, and was then regarded by the world as the hero who saved it.
After the Cell Saga, his son-in-law was Gohan, who had defeated Cell. His in-laws were Son Goku and Chi-Chi. In the Buu Saga, he became best friends with Buu. Besides Son Goku and the others, and the people who trained with ki, all the other people on Earth firmly believed that Mr. Satan had saved the world. Son Goku and the others didn’t come out to expose him; they didn’t need that kind of empty fame. Android 18, Lazuli, knew about this and even secretly extorted a sum of money from him. A perfect ATM. It wasn’t like Mr. Satan was short on that kind of money. Being the hero who saved the world brought him endless wealth.
"This person is rather special, but his luck is really good," Kenji laughed. In terms of strength, Mr. Satan could only be considered a standout among ordinary people.
Hearing this, Coco nodded thoughtfully. An interesting person. Speaking of luck, he thought of Zongeh, whose Food Luck was super strong. To be able to wander around the Gourmet World and come back like nothing happened... that was something most Gourmet Hunters couldn’t do. Danger seemed to avoid Zongeh.
