Kamen Rider: High Beam Rider - Starting with Saber

Chapter 24 The Shame of Lan Su

Lan Su pulled Da Qin Si out alone and handed him the damaged Thunder Sword.

"I'm sorry, the situation was urgent and I had to use some special methods, which caused considerable damage to the Thunder Sword."

Daqin Temple quickly took the Thunder Sword and began to observe and test it.

"The energy patterns on the sword are damaged, but fortunately the core is intact. Only the surface of the blade has cracks, which can be repaired! However, it may take some time!"

The Daqin Temple quickly provided a preliminary diagnosis, which relieved Lan Su. It would have been awkward if they had directly damaged the Holy Sword.

"The Holy Sword itself is made of the finest ores. What methods did you use?"

As the heir of most of the holy sword forging families, Daqin Temple was very surprised. What kind of power was that?

Lan Su coughed awkwardly, "Ahem, it was an accident, just a little trick."

Seeing that Lan Su was unwilling to say more, Daqin Temple wisely refrained from asking further questions.

…………

Two dark figures appeared on the rooftop.

These two were Lan Yu and Tian Zai, who had managed to escape even after being struck by Lan Su's demonic power.

"Pfft! Cough cough!"

As soon as Lan Yu regained her footing, she could no longer withstand the turmoil of energy within her body, and her throat burned as she spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Hey, are you okay?"

When Tianzai saw that Lanyu was so badly injured, he quickly helped the swaying Lanyu up. He felt both grateful and guilty towards Lanyu at that moment.

Lan Yu waved her hand dismissively and simply sat down on the ground.

He gave Tianzai a thumbs up and joked, "It's alright, it's alright. You're just a fearless newborn calf! You actually dared to take that sword head-on. If I didn't have some skills, we would both be dead there."

"Tch, who knew that seemingly ordinary sword strike would be so powerful?"

Tianzai turned his head away awkwardly, not daring to meet Lanyu's gaze.

Lan Yu was amused by Tianzai's naiveté. "Nothing special? Please, his sword is crackling with black and gold lightning, and space itself is distorted! Anyone with a brain would know to run away!"

You're still charging forward recklessly. Do you think you're immortal? That power isn't something you can recover with just quick healing.

Driven by curiosity, Tianzai finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind: "What exactly is that power?"

"I'll tell you about this later. Anyway, if you see him while I'm not around, just run away as fast as you can."

Lan Yu is not in the mood to explain parallel universes, Oma Zi-O or similar stories to Tian Zai right now.

After the previous battle, Lan Yu's original plan underwent some changes.

"His power is probably still a bit lacking, but once the gate to the Catalogue opens, he can be led in to absorb its power."

"Also, a new body needs to be manufactured as soon as possible. I remember Sophia should have this forbidden book..."

"Um, thanks for today's things."

Tianzai sat down next to Lanyu without her noticing, and said thank you somewhat awkwardly.

Lan Yu turned to Tian Zai with feigned confusion. "Huh? What did you say? Didn't you hear me?"

"Oh, thank you so much for this!"

The natural disaster, somewhat enraged, simply gave up and went all out.

Hehe~

"You bastard!"

Seeing Lan Yu's cheeky look, Tianzai realized he had been tricked and, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, shoved Lan Yu in the chest.

"Cough cough, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"Ahhh, I'm so sorry!"

Tianzai hurriedly helped Lanyu up from the ground.

"Hehe, just kidding~"

"You bastard, you scoundrel!"

…………

Lan Su returned to the Narak space. The books he had borrowed from the Daqin Temple had already been read by Yaz and sorted out.

At this moment, Yaz seemed to be in a dormant state with his eyes closed because Lan Su was not there.

Lan Su tentatively called out, "Yaz?"

Upon hearing the sound, Yaz's terminal flickered slightly, and he opened his eyes.

"Lord Lansu, welcome back! The task you assigned has been successfully completed!"

Yaz took small, quick steps toward Lansu, a bright smile on his face, as if expecting praise from Lansu.

"Well done, Yaz! It's a good thing you were here, otherwise it might have taken me a lot longer to do it all by myself."

"As a reward, is there anything Az wants? I'll grant you anything I can do!"

Lan Su affectionately ruffled Yaz's long hair, relaxing his tense nerves and feeling a slight fatigue wash over him.

"What do I want? Az doesn't know. I just want to be able to stay by Lord Lansu's side!"

"Ahhh, Azu, you're so thoughtful!"

As they chatted and laughed, the two returned to the villa.

The entire house was pitch black, indicating that Linghua had not yet returned from the South District base.

Just as Lan Su had guessed, Linghua had already returned to the Sword of Truth's southern base.

"Your Majesty, Sophia has been brought back!"

Above the Hall of Truth, the Holy Lord sat majestically on his throne.

"Hmm, you came back alone?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lan Su, he went to fight against Migido with the swordsmen from the North District! Migido has been very active lately."

Linghua paused slightly, but still reported on Lan Su's current situation.

After saying this, Linghua waited for the Holy Lord's command in the local area, but she did not hear any new command for a long time.

She cautiously looked up and observed the Holy Lord's expression.

Seemingly noticing Linghua's observation, the Holy Lord's authoritative voice rang out again, "A swordsman who disobeys orders is not a qualified swordsman, wouldn't you agree?"

Linghua hurriedly apologized nervously, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will discipline him properly from now on!"

"Haha, it's good that young people have passion. Go down now, and prepare to bring back the holy sword that was left out!"

The Holy Lord's tone softened, and he smiled as he gave Linghua a new order.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Linghua breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and left the Hall of Truth.

"Ugh, I'm so tired today. Yaz, go and prepare some hot water for the bathtub. I want to take a nice bath."

"Yes, Lord Lansu!"

Yaz nodded in response and jogged upstairs to the bathroom to prepare hot water for Lansu.

I ate a little something to tide me over.

The scene shifts, and Lan Su is now lying in the bathtub, with Yaz tenderly rubbing his back.

Lan Su, on the other hand, was carrying a Humagear terminal and looking at the data projected in front of him. This data was about sword forging that Az had compiled today.

Although he read it very quickly, the information was firmly etched into his memory.

After reading the sword-forging notes of the Daqin Temple family, Lan Su remarked with emotion, "Indeed, forging a holy sword is not so easy."

"But it can work!"

The forging conditions for the Holy Sword are: "First, top-grade ore; second, compatibility with fantasy energy and the power of the Drive Book; third, the inscription of energy circuits and an energy core!"

Lan Su has already made plans for the materials, but as for the second and third requirements, he still needs to consult with the Daqin Temple.

Having made his plan, Lan Su gently patted Yaz's little hand. "Ahem, Yaz, could you please go out for a moment? I need to change my clothes."

"Yes, Lord Lan Su."

Yaz rolled his eyes and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips, but he did obediently get up and leave the bathroom.

"Click".

Hearing the door close, Lan Su got out of the bathtub and dried himself off.

Hearing the commotion inside, Yaz, who was outside the door, quietly hacked into the terminal that Lan Su hadn't removed.

Through the terminal's screen, Yaz saw Lansu getting dressed in the mirror's reflection.

As Lan Su was getting dressed, a chill ran through him; he had a feeling that someone was watching him!

Adhering to the principle of being just in case, Lan Su opened his senses and immediately felt everything go black.

"Ah, Z!"

Lan Su turned to look at the bathroom door. Yaz, realizing he had been discovered, didn't seem to think he had done anything wrong and even playfully stuck his tongue out at Lan Su.

"Lord Lan Su has a great figure! Even better than those models I see online. I'm going to save it in my database!"

"Ah, Yaz, you've turned bad! I was just praising you as my best assistant!"

Lan Su was somewhat embarrassed and angry. He quickly dressed and then grabbed Yaz by the back of the neck.

"Delete it!"

"don't want!"

"Aaaaaah, you forced my hand, Az!"

"What, what are you going to do, Lord Lan, Lord Lan Su..."

"Please, Yaz, delete the photos! Nude photos are too embarrassing! >﹏

Ultimately, no one except Yaz knew whether the photos were actually deleted.

Nothing happened that night. Lan Su woke up on the soft bed, with Yaz next to him, who had climbed into bed again sometime during the night.

"Huh~ What time is it, Yaz?"

Lan Su yawned, pinched Yaz's cute little face, and felt a little helpless but also a little strange.

"It's 10 a.m., cherry blossom season, Lord Lansu."

Yaz, who was originally in hibernation, turned on as soon as he heard Lan Su's voice.

"Go prepare some food for me. After we eat, we'll head to the North Base."

Compared to the relaxed and carefree atmosphere in Lansu, things are much more difficult in Lanyu.

Because he was worried that Lan Su would come and rip him out right now, he didn't rest all night and used the dark power in his body to recover from his injuries.

Fortunately, his dark power was blessed by the Black God, and with the natural disaster protecting him, the remaining demonic power in his body was successfully worn away overnight.

"You're awake? You're alright?"

Seeing Lan Yu open her eyes, Tianzai leaned forward to observe her curiously, even sniffing her.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't get so close to me, people will misunderstand."

Lan Yu pushed the natural disaster aside with disdain, stretched her stiff body, and made a cracking sound as her bones rubbed together.

"Let's go check out their stronghold. We'll find a time to take care of Wang Jian together. I'll take the Dark Sword, and you take the book."

The calamity said arrogantly, "Hmph, I can get my book back by myself without you."

"Let me tell you, what you're doing is called tsundere in the human world, but it's outdated now, you know? If you have something on your mind, say it, express it, do you understand?"

Lan Yu showed no mercy to Tian Zai, making him blush with embarrassment, even though his face was already red.

"Come on, buddy, let me show you my advanced skills."
