Salted Fish in Marvel World

Chapter 35 Headless Horseman
Yu Yu Yu Yu -

'Athena' neighed joyfully and loudly, then lowered her head and kissed Kino's shoulder affectionately.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, I won't put you in the book again." Kino touched the forehead of 'Athena' and said with a smile.

Yu Yu Yu Yu -

'Athena' neighed loudly, rolled its eyeballs, and looked at the three people around vigilantly.

"Hey, girl, be quiet, they are all friends."

Law?
After tilting her head and glanced for a while, 'Athena' began to wander around, and looked around seriously while walking around.

"What is she doing?" Maria Hill asked.

"Territorial awareness."

"Oh."

Maria Hill nodded. Animals do have a sense of territory and are extremely repulsive to intruders.

"She's called 'Athena', she's a girl, my first partner in the contract, and she's the contractor of 'Force of Light Unicorn'." Kino explained.

In fact, she is already 32 years old. After practicing the "Book of Zeref" in "Fairy Tail", Kino did the first experiment.

Before that, she was a three-year horse, and after the contract, she was almost immortal.

After strolling around, 'Athena' suddenly walked up to the little rascal, and then stuck out her big tongue...'Suction'——licked the little rascal.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Little naughty stood up. Girls like to be clean. Although they didn't lick their faces, their shoulders were wet and sticky. It was too uncomfortable.

"Ha, that's her approval of you, leave a little smell, and you will be her friend from now on." Kino said with a smile.

Little Naughty looked embarrassed: "...I'll go wash up."

She does know that when animals determine their territory, they will leave urine or something as their own mark.I never thought about it, but I still use my saliva to make friends!
"Don't! It will take ten minutes!" Kino urged quickly.

"Why?"

"If you do it now, she will think you rejected her friendship, and you will become her enemy."

"What happens if you become an enemy?"

"Believe me, you won't let her 'Athena' bite you." Kino laughed.

Don't underestimate the horse, it's not easy to bite a horse. Although the horse's teeth are not sharp, the bite force can definitely make your arm bleed.Not to mention 'Athena' who has contracted the power of a unicorn. Steel is like popcorn in front of her.

One sip will definitely make you crunchy.

"Then...then I'll sit for a while!" Little Naughty sat back in fright, she didn't want to be chased by a horse every day.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing 'Athena' walking towards her, Maria Hill quickly took a defensive stance.

"What if you don't want to be kicked out by her?" Kino shrugged indifferently.

Maria Hill was a little depressed. After being kicked out, she would not be able to monitor Chino at close range, so she had to slowly lower her hand.It's a pity that 'Athena' was already so angry with her, she walked over to 'Hululu' and sprayed Maria Hill all over her body.Then he left the dumbfounded Hill and went upstairs.

Little naughty laughed.

Maria Hill settled for a while, then wiped her face in distaste, and then pointed at Galina Dubo: "Why doesn't she get this treatment, are you lying to us?"

So Naughty was stunned, and looked at Kino with unfriendly eyes.

"Honey, you're thinking too much. Jialina wants to accept the 'contract', there's no need for these between them."

"You better not lie to me!"

Chino shrugged and turned to look at Galina: "Honey, have you chosen?"

"No, I'm blind, or...you can help me decide." Galina Dubo was still turning the pages of the book, even though she couldn't understand the meaning of the pictures.

Kino was a little taken aback, give her a choice?

How does he choose?

If he had to make a choice, he would choose 'Succubus' directly.

Galina Dubo's figure and the alluring temperament of a succubus are simply unacceptable.

"How about... let the book choose by itself?" Kino made a suggestion.

"Huh? Books can still make their own choices?" Galina Dubo was a little surprised.

"Haven't you ever bought dogs, cats, etc. Humans choose pets, but sometimes pets choose their owners." Kino explained.

"That's it, okay...what am I going to do?"

"Relax, put your hands in the air on the book, the pages will scroll by themselves until the most suitable ability appears for you." Chino said.

"Oh."

After Galina Dubo settled her pose, Chino tapped the book lightly, and the pages flipped.Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes forward and sometimes backward, basically flipping through the entire book.Just when Jialina thought that "The Book of Kino" had rejected her, the pages of the book quickly went backwards.

And then—it stopped!

stopped at...

Chino looked down, hey, it's very unpopular, but this ability is very powerful.

It was a black page, on which was a woman whose figure might be better than Galina Dubo, but it was just a back view.She is carrying a huge sickle, the blade is almost as long as a human being, and the widest part just blocks the head!So looking at it from behind, it doesn't feel very inconsistent.

But Kino knew what kind of ability it was.

"A woman?" Galina Dubo was a little dumbfounded. It was the first time she had seen such a figurative painting in "The Book of Kino". "What is this?"

"headless rider!"

Galina Dubbo is terrified: "Headless horseman... without a head?"

Looking down carefully, it seems...it seems that there is really no head!
"The Headless Horseman? Shouldn't it be a man?" Maria Hill asked.

"What?"

"It is said that the 'Headless Horseman' was a brave knight during his lifetime. Because he died on the battlefield, his head was cut off by the enemy. Therefore, every night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, he will ride a horse that is also an undead. Horses haunt Sleepy Hollow, looking for their lost heads," explains Maria Hill.

"That's folklore, it's different." Kino shook his head.

"Can...can you change it?" Galina Dubo didn't want it.

"Are you sure? You need to know that the 'Headless Horseman' is a very high-ranked ability in the book." Kino knew what she was worried about, and comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, you can only use it when you use the ability." It will transform into the form of the 'Headless Horseman'. When you are not using your abilities, you are still the current Galina Dubo. And..."

"and?"

"Did you know that the 'Headless Horseman' is also one of the few existences that can display abilities without changing the form. Of course, these abilities are much weaker than after changing the form."

"Really...really?"

"Cheat you and have no candy."

"Then...then let it be...wait, will it hurt!"

Chino smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, it won't!"
