I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"Huh?? Contained object?? You... what are you..."

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Alian didn’t react.

"Ah, please don't worry. I am holding the items under normal procedures. This is my Administration ID."

Fu'er handed over a card and said.

"My name is Fu'er. Like you, I am a student at Prometheus University, a sophomore. For some reason, I hold a certification card from the Administration. I can barely be considered a [Hero]..."

"Huh? The [Hero] at school?"

Alian took the ID card dubiously and checked it.

It is indeed an identity card issued by the administration. It has unique inscription information and can be confirmed to be correct. As a student at Prometheus Frontier University, at least I still have this verification method.

"Wait...Fuer..."

Looking at the photo on the ID card and Fu'er's face, Alian felt a little familiar...

"Wait a minute! Aren't you the senior who performed the trapeze at our orientation party!!!"

"…………"

Fu'er helplessly held his forehead again.

"Yes... that's me..."

That's right, at the orientation meeting for the new freshmen about half a year ago, Fu'er had to attend the orientation meeting as a [special representative] because a certain old man threatened him with his business license and performed a programme.

The show is...

"SuperHero vs. Little Monsters Stage Play"

Since he is a rare [hero] in school and has physical qualities that ordinary people don't have, another fighting teacher, who used the excuse of checking for final exams, designed a set of explosively complicated entrance moves and fighting procedures for himself.

Among them... a trapeze appearance.

This is his lingering dark history.

(Mainly because when I came on stage, I could fly without any problem, but after landing, my foot slipped and I fell into the mud.)

God knows who made the stage so slippery!

Alian also recalled that the other party was in a big embarrassment at that time. Looking at the other party's embarrassed look, she changed the subject in a panic.

"Yes! That's right! Then what I saw at that time was -"

"Oh! This is what you're talking about!"

Countless water vapor gathered into water flow, condensed into countless arms behind the slate man, and then slowly stretched out to grab things like cups on the bar.

"I was helping to put away the goods at that time...I accidentally knocked something off, and you rushed in..."

The slate man said while scratching his cheek in embarrassment.

"Then... why is it red..."

"The bottle that was overturned...is red paint..."

"……………………"

"……………………"

"Uh... well, it was just a misunderstanding! I'm really sorry for scaring you."

Fu'er scratched his head and apologized again.

"What do you want to eat? My treat, milk tea, ice cream, coffee cake, or some staple food? Omelette rice or pasta?"

"Sorry, I'm not hungry yet... Let's have a cup of milk tea... Oh, by the way!"

He asked, seemingly finally remembering his purpose of coming here.

"Well...since you are an employee of the Bureau, is this really some kind of private investigation firm? No, the employees of the Bureau don't seem to be able to open any private investigation firms...I was indeed deceived. ah……"

"Ah no no no, this is indeed a private investigation agency."

Fu'er said while making milk tea.

"Uh... are you sure?"

Alian pointed to the milk tea in Fu'er's hand.

"Isn't this really a coffee shop?"

"It...can also be a coffee shop..."

Fuer said awkwardly.

He couldn't say that he was too lazy to decorate the store after it was temporarily transferred to him.

And the coffee shop looks pretty good, too. The first floor is for business and the second floor is for living. You can make something to drink if you have nothing to do.

Although the dormitory conditions at the university are good, my status is a bit special.

Due to some "part-time jobs", I always stay up at night.

It is more convenient to live outside.

"Please use it slowly. This is osmanthus milk tea, which is a specialty drink in China District."

Fu'er brought a cup of milk tea filled with the fragrance of osmanthus to Alian, and then sat opposite her.

"Tell me, what's the reason you're here?"

"...It's like this..."

Alian organized her words a little and then said.

"My name is Alia Lian, a freshman. Just call me Alian. I was in the abandoned teaching building a few days ago——"

Slowly, he told the problem that had troubled him for many days.

"That's probably it... Although the guards at the Defense Department investigated and said there was no problem, I still can't help but think about it all the time, which leads to nightmares at night, so I hope someone can investigate on my behalf."

Alian took a sip of milk tea. The fragrance of osmanthus and the mellow taste of milk soothed her nervous mind. The fragrance of tea remaining in her mouth mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus, making people unable to stop taking another sip.

"Although I also know that this reason is unreasonable... After all, the Defense Department said there is no problem, but I still can't help but think that even seeing the red light in the camera at night will make me feel scared..."

"Although the amount I can pay is not much! But please help me! As long as one more person proves that it is safe... I will definitely be able to-"

As long as one more person tells himself that there is nothing there, he can already get out of the fear...

At least that's what Alian thinks

"No, Alian, maybe you are right."

Fu'er shook his head and said.

"You probably did see something there, that's a fact and, of course, it's an illusion."

"What's the meaning?"

Alian asked doubtfully.

"Please wait a moment, I'm going to get something."

Fu'er stood up and went up to the second floor from the stairs on the other side of the store. After a while, he came down with a metal box.

"This is--"

"Please be mentally prepared, Alian, when I open it, you may see the scene of that day again."

Fuer said slowly.

"If you are scared, we don't have to use this method, but based on my understanding of your current situation, I suggest you look at the situation at that time again, because this will be the most effective solution."

"Gollum—"

Alian swallowed and nodded.

"I'm ready, please open it, Senior Fu'er."

"it is good."

After Fu'er pressed a few buttons, with the sound of sliding between metals, the box slowly unfolded, and a strange-style brooch appeared in front of Alian.

"This is--"

Before she finished speaking, the scenery in front of her changed instantly. After a brief trance, Alian found herself as if she had returned to the back of the abandoned teaching building.

It was still that night, still the same terrifying monster tearing apart human bodies.

It slowly turned its head, blood dripping from its fangs, and looked at Alian with its scarlet eyes.

"!!!"

Then, the monster got up and seemed to have locked on a new prey.

"Save...Save..."

As the monster flew towards him, the roar penetrated his eardrums, and the sharp claws seemed to tear his body into pieces in the next second, turning into the same existence as the corpse on the ground, the fear of death. In an instant, it took over the brain's control over the body, making Alian unable to move.

"Help--"

She closed her eyes.

"do not worry."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past her. Alian opened her eyes, and a flying ax shining with white light flew out from behind her, knocking the monster away and smashing into the wall of the dilapidated teaching building.

Then, the figure who followed Fuer rushed out, pulled out the battle ax embedded in the monster's body, raised it high, and then slashed it down hard.

"Crack-"

Accompanied by a sound like breaking glass, the monster struggled twice for the last time, completely losing its ability to move, and gradually turned into dust and dispersed.

"Look, this damn thing is just gone. It's completely simple."

The light flashed, and in the next moment, Alian returned to the coffee shop. The box in front of her had been closed again, and Fu'er was sitting opposite and looking at her with a smile.

"That was just now?"

Alian asked in a daze before she could react for a moment.

"It's a contained object, roughly rated D-level. Its function is to make people who enter the area of ​​influence see hallucinations of images that they think are terrifying, but in fact they are not lethal."

Fu Er patted the box and said.

"This is something I took into custody in the abandoned teaching building four days ago. I haven't had time to hand it over to the containment committee yet. You know, the border where Prometheus Frontier University is located will always have some weird contained objects or Disasters, schools even use these things as credit awards to encourage students to investigate independently."

"Then what I saw that night was..."

"Yes, that's it. I didn't expect that other people were affected before I took it in. I thought I went there quickly enough. I went there immediately after class in the evening."

Fu Er scratched his head and said.

"So I didn't communicate with the Defense Department. As a result, I frightened you for so many days. I'm really sorry. But now I help you kill the monster you were afraid of with my own hands in front of you. Isn't this better? ?”

"Um…………"

"Well, let me reward you with the credits for this contained object! How about it?"

"Pfft... Hahahahaha, no need for that, senior."

Seeing the other party's embarrassed look, Alian couldn't help laughing.

"I should thank you. I'm not afraid at all now. My senior solved this containment on his own and helped me get rid of my fear. How can I be embarrassed to take credit from my senior?"

Alian shook her head and said.

"But……"

"And after all, it's my fault for running around."

Having finally solved her inner problem, Alian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Please come in."

Someone knocked on the door, Fu'er answered and the person walked in.

"Then I won't disturb your work, Senior Fu'er."

Seeing another guest arriving, Alian stood up at the right time and said.

"Will you not sit for a while?"

"No, I finally solved the problem. I feel a little sleepy. I want to go back and take a nap."

"Well, if you have any questions, you are welcome to come back to me.

"Hmm! Thank you!"

The girl waved her hand and said gratefully, then walked towards the door.

"By the way, the osmanthus milk tea is delicious! Please recommend something else to me next time!"

Before walking out of the door, Alian turned around, smiled and praised, and then left.

Light on your feet.
