First Wind, Dark Sun just phoned me. The situation doesn’t seem good. The signal was severely distorted so I couldn’t make out what he was saying. Can you contact him?

“Hold on a sec!”

O.K.!

“Solitary Butterfly, he’s really gone!”

So you do know Dark Sun’s true identity?

“…”

Oh well, that’s not important. We should find Dark Sun first!

“Mhm! I’ll tell the police to look for places with bad signals. We’ll find him faster with more people.”

Wait, there’s another call. It’s from the police.

“Attention to all heroes, there are groups of armed criminals randomly attacking civilians in the business district. Their intentions are unknown.”

“Yue Gang?” First Wind said, “This is First Wind. We also have a problem. Dark Sun seems to be stuck in a place with almost no signal. Can you find out where he is?”

“… It must be the sewer! Definitely! I’ll send someone over. I’ll go over myself too!”

First Wind, I’ll go to the business district. You go look for Dark Sun with the police!

“No, I’ll go to the business district with you. One extra person looking for him won’t make a difference. Armed criminals roaming the business district doesn’t sound good. It feels a bit like the bank robbery last time. If we don’t know what their intentions are, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone. I’ll get Dragon Peace to come along!”

Aren’t you worried about Dark Sun?

“Of course I am! But someone’s with him. If they’re together, then there won’t be much of a problem.”

“Solitary Butterfly, Dark Sun has been in a bad mood recently. Don’t start any fights with him.”

… You’re making it sound like I spend all day trying to pick fights with him. What’s he unhappy about this time?

“Aiya, you have a menstrual cycle, he also has a modification… going haywire cycle! Please don’t fight with him. Arguing with Dark Sun currently is completely pointless!”

I get it… How is there another robbery? What’s been going on lately? There’s been a ton of robberies! Dealing with robbers armed to the teeth is such a pain. Good thing this case is by both our boundaries. Do you want to go or should I?”

“What about Dragon Peace?”

He just went to deal with a robbery in the southern district! Don’t pick on him just because you know him!”

“Rock, paper…”

“Scissors.”

Scissors.

“Hmph… I’ll head over now.”

Original Novel written by: 御我 (Yu Wo)

Heaven or Hell, Seventh Level: Cross, Upright and Inverted—translated by Michimochi (proofread by Trespasserby & elisa; C/E edited by lucathia)

“Who’s done dealing with the robbers on their end? The robbers I’m chasing have divided into two groups: one group seized An Xiang Ye hostage, and the other kidnapped a small boy. I’ll go save the kid first. Whoever is free, go and rescue An Xiang Ye. I’ve already uploaded the robbers’ approximate escape route to your cell phones.”

What? Wait a sec! I’ll go save the boy. You go rescue An Xiang Ye! You have to rescue him without fail. If anything happens to An Xiang Ye, it’ll definitely cause an uproar…

Click!

… He actually hung up on me!

First Wind promptly said, “Solitary Butterfly, calm down a bit. Dark Sun was communicating with all the heroes. He just stopped talking! He didn’t hang up on you!”

He did hang up on me because I was the only one who responded!

“Jeez, you are usually a cool-headed person. Why have you been so easily agitated recently, especially when it comes to Dark Sun… Ah, is it your period?”

Most certainly not!

“Oh, right. I remember now. Your period is at the end of the month, so at the end of every month you always ask me to help you watch over the northern district.”

Good, you remembered! My anger and period are not related whatsoever!

“Can you two remember that I’m still on the line?” Dragon Peace helplessly said, “Or is it that in the future, at the end of every month, you also need my help to watch over the northern district?”

Cra-Crap! I totally forgot that Dragon Peace is still here….

“Ohh! Your help would be so awesome! From now on, at the end of every month, I won’t ever be overworked…”

FIRST WIND! Shut up already!

Heaven or Hell, Sixth Level: Television, the Overlooked Truth—translated by Ever (proofread by Trespasserby & Lala Su; C/E edited by Lucathia)

“Solitary Butterfly, Dark Sun finally finished repairing your legs.”

Finally? The spare ones really aren’t as powerful. Is your whip also finished?”

“Not only is it finished, it’s fantastic! Its energy efficiency increased greatly, its destructive power is greater and its battery life also increased significantly. The most unbelievable thing is that not only is it a whip, but it can also switch modes into a sword or dagger and can even fire bullets and be used as an energy gun! I don’t even know if it counts as a whip anymore, haha!”

Give me my legs first.

“Oh, oh! By the way, Dark Sun also wrote you an instruction manual.”

They’re my legs and yet I need to read an instruction manual he wrote?

“Of course! Look at my whip. If it weren’t for the instructions, I wouldn’t even know that there were so many added features!”

Oh well, just bring me everything there is!

“Hurry up, tell me what features were added to your legs.”

Hmm… Both thighs can be opened by pressing the silver decorative button. The left thigh contains grenades and the right leg has flash bangs; the knees can fire energy bullets; the sides of the calves and the toe tips all have extendable blades; the feet have wheels that can be extended when needed for gliding with a max gliding speed of sixty kilometers per hour.

“Wow, your legs are as good as cars now.”

…

“Are you satisfied with them?”

…

“Do you like them?”

…

“Just what do you think?”

I’m satisfied and I like them! I’m running out of time so I’ll be going first.

“Hehe!”

[AD 2113]

“Solitary Butterfly!”

You said you trusted me! Then why don’t you believe me? Josh is a guinea pig. He is also someone to protect. We cannot turn him back in to P29!

“I trust you! Calm down and think about it. Dark Sun’s way of taking care of it is not wrong. He is just, just a little callous… but there is a reason for that!”

What reason?

“I don’t know.”

…

“I know it sounds unreasonable, but that child grew up under unusual circumstances, so don’t be too hard on him! I will talk to him. He won’t brush me off!”

That child? Is he young?

“… Pretty young. Dang it! Don’t dwell on that too much! I shouldn’t divulge his personal information.”

He insisted on taking Josh! Your talk made no difference!

“That was not… Dark Sun… that was DSII.”

What in the world are you talking about?

“I don’t know either! Anyway, Dark Sun is not wrong. That criminal has a very dangerous power! To allow him to roam free in Sunset City would cause huge problems!”

Heroes are supposed to save people, not give up on them because of this or that! If we can give up on Josh only because he might cause big trouble, is there anyone we would not give up on?
