Chapter 71 Magical Girl
There were also other residents living on the island where Cyrus and his friends were staying. Although there was no large supermarket, there was a small retail store run by an elderly lady, where people usually bought daily necessities.
Using [Air Dance] to fly to the retail store, Cyrus went to buy some seasonings that Taisi and the others needed. However, to his surprise—
"Sorry, boy, we're out of condiments here."
Seeing the apologetic expression on the old lady's face, Cyrus felt a little down.
Since the condiments were sold out at the store, he had no choice but to head to a town on the other side of the coast to buy some. Although it was a bit of a hassle, it only took Cyrus a few minutes.
Summoning the Black Cloud, Cyrus flew across the sea and soon arrived at a small town on the mainland. He quickly bought the seasonings he needed at a supermarket.
Without lingering in the town for too long, Cyrus boarded the Black Cloud again, a bunch of condiments in his arms, and prepared to head back.
"Soy sauce, MSG, salt, pepper..."
Having forgotten to ask Taisi what specific seasonings she wanted, Cyrus ended up buying a little of everything he usually used, filling the Black Cloud with various seasonings.
Um?"
Just as Cyrus was flying out of the town and about to enter the sea, he suddenly heard a burst of gunfire coming from below.
Confused, Cyrus ordered Black Cloud to lower its altitude and fly toward the source of the gunshots. He soon arrived above the scene and discovered what was going on: a group of people were engaged in a firefight on both sides of the road in the valley below.
On one side were uniformed police officers, and on the other was a beautiful, heroic blonde woman.
At first, Cyrus didn't pay much attention, but the moment he saw the blonde woman, he was stunned.
It's her!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!
"Ranchi, you have no way to escape! Put down your weapon and surrender!"
"You useless policemen, come and arrest me if you have the guts! Hahahaha..."
The person fighting with the police was none other than Ranchi from the original Dragon Ball!
Ranchi is a magical girl with a dual personality. When she has blue hair, she's gentle, pure, and hardworking—a lovable good girl. But once she sneezes, her hair turns golden, and her other, more dangerous personality emerges.
In her blonde-haired state, Ranchi is completely different. She becomes rude, wild, and greedy for money. She's skilled in combat and various weapons, and she loves gold, silver, and jewelry, often resorting to robbery.
Cyrus remembered that in the original Dragon Ball, when Goku and Krillin became apprentices, Master Roshi asked them to find a beautiful girl, which is when they met Ranchi. Unexpectedly, this time it was Cyrus who stumbled upon her.
It would have been fine if she hadn't met him before, but now that she had, Cyrus had no intention of letting her go!
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Landing in the middle of the two sides on the Black Cloud, Cyrus immediately attracted the attention of both the police and Ranchi, who were engaged in a firefight.
"Cease fire! Stop shooting now!"
"Young man, this place is very dangerous! Get out of here quickly!"
Thinking that Cyrus was just a civilian who had accidentally wandered into the area, several policemen quickly stopped firing and shouted at him.
Ignoring the policemen, Cyrus turned his attention to Ranchi.
"Ms. Ranchi, you went to rob someone again and got chased by the police."
"Boy, who are you?!"
Ranchi narrowed her beautiful eyes and glared at Cyrus fiercely.
"He's just an unknown person who has heard of Miss Ranchi's deeds. Don't worry about him."
"If you're a nobody, get out of here and don't bother me!"
Ranchi spoke fiercely, but Cyrus wore a calm smile.
"Ms. Ranchi, it's wrong to rob people. It's not nice to do that."
Naturally, Cyrus wasn't planning to leave just like that. He sighed and continued.
"I just like robbing. What can you do about it? Mind your own business!"
Ranchi was amused by this guy who had appeared out of nowhere, and she sneered.
"You actually want to meddle in my business? Go somewhere cooler!"
"It's just as the rumors said."
"Since you're so stubborn, Miss Ranchi, there's nothing more I can do."
Looking at Cyrus's expression, Ranchi's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"What do you want, kid?"
She became cautious. Though the other party appeared harmless, Ranchi's intuition told her that this guy was much more dangerous than the useless policemen standing by.
"What do I want to do..."
Cyrus grinned.
"I will destroy you in the name of justice!"
With a smile, Cyrus flew forward on the Black Cloud, then quickly embraced Ranchi and took off. Before the police could react, they were gone, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye...
…
"Ahhh…"
"Let me go! Let me go!"
In the sky, Ranchi continued to struggle and shout.
She had no idea what was going on. Before she could process what had happened, she had been grabbed and flown into the air!
"Since you ask so nicely, Miss Ranchi, I'll let you go."
A malicious smile appeared on Cyrus's face, and then, to Ranchi's horror, he really did release her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
Suddenly, she plummeted from hundreds of meters in the air. Ranchi flailed her arms and legs, screaming in panic.
As the ground grew closer and closer, even Ranchi couldn't help but feel a surge of fear.
I'm dying! I'm dying!!! I'm dying!!!
Just as she closed her eyes, bracing for impact, a long time passed, but the crushing pain she expected never came.
When she finally opened her eyes, Ranchi saw a bright, smiling face before her.
"How's it going, Miss Ranchi? Were you scared just now?"
Though she had no idea what had happened, Ranchi quickly realized she'd been tricked by the bastard in front of her!
No one had ever dared to fool her like this. Ranchi's anger flared to new heights.
"Go to hell!!!"
Raising the machine gun in her hand, Ranchi started firing at Cyrus.
She was determined to shoot this bastard into a sieve—there was no doubt about it!
Although guns are deadly to ordinary people, they were no different from toys to Cyrus. His right hand blurred into an afterimage as he easily caught all the bullets Ranchi shot at him.
"Ms. Ranchi, this kind of thing is useless to me."
Seeing Ranchi's stunned expression, Cyrus opened his palm with a smile, and all the bullets immediately fell to the ground.
"Are you a monster?!"
Ranchi staggered back two steps, visibly frightened.
He had actually caught the bullets with his bare hand. How could a human do such a thing? This guy was definitely a monster!
"Monster? While I consider myself a proper human being, to Miss Ranchi, I must be no different from one of those monsters."
"But it doesn't matter. Don't you enjoy robbing, Miss Ranchi?"
"Then congratulations—you've just been robbed by me!"
Cyrus admired the shock on Ranchi's face, a devilish smile curling at his lips.
"What?"
Still in shock, Ranchi couldn't react immediately.
Cyrus raised an eyebrow, then said to her once more:
"Ms. Ranchi, you've been robbed by me."
"From now on, all your belongings, and even yourself, belong to me."
"Do you understand now?"
