Zenless Zone Zero: I'm a Succubus in Sixth Street

Afterward, the investigation progressed very smoothly. After all, he was just an ordinary little Bangboo right now, so the combat-related matters were naturally all left to the accompanying investigator.

"Phew, that should be about it. Next is... wait..."

Normally, they should have been preparing to go back after the mission was over, but the instrument in the investigator's hand suddenly began to beep. Her own tone instantly became tense because of it. As the beeping sounds increased, it even became one of horror.

"One beep means an active reaction, two beeps mean a significant reaction, three beeps mean a strong one, and four beeps..."

Before the investigator could finish her sentence, the instrument in her hand broke down due to overload. Seeing this, both she and Wise were stunned for a moment. They then immediately looked around, wanting to know why this was happening. And soon, the answer presented itself.

With a loud roar of a giant Ethereal, the two of them almost subconsciously found a place to hide. Wise then poked his head out to observe. Not far away, in the gap between two tall buildings, a huge Ethereal was slowly emerging. While Wise was observing, the other party seemed to have sensed something and looked in their direction. Seeing this, Wise immediately hid. The two of them then concealed themselves. As for the giant Ethereal, it happened to pass right over their heads. It was a good thing they weren't discovered. Otherwise, in the current situation, the best he could probably do was collect the investigator's remains as much as possible and then create a new Eous.

However, the matter didn't end there. The investigator was just feeling lucky for having avoided the giant Ethereal when a lone, bee-like Ethereal discovered them. But just as it was preparing to attack, a demi-human girl with a katana and a pair of fluffy fox ears suddenly appeared. The girl was also followed by a small, ghostly green spirit, but that wasn't the main point. The girl made a motion as if to draw her sword. They didn't even see the blade leave its sheath before the Ethereal had already dissipated into Aether energy.

After dealing with the Ethereal, she didn't say anything. Without even giving the two of them a chance to thank her, she quickly chased in the direction the giant Ethereal had gone.

Not long after the girl's figure had disappeared into the distance, a few people in similar uniforms arrived from the direction she had come from.

"Captain, try to maintain a safe distance from the target," one of the pink-haired women said into her headset. The "Captain" she was talking about should be the fox-person girl who was just giving chase.

"Oh my, we can't catch up to the Captain at full speed at all," another boy in the squad lamented helplessly. After noticing the uniforms on the two of them, the investigator was a bit surprised. "This uniform... you're from H.A.N.D.? Officers from the Special Operations Department?!"

Hearing the investigator's words, the pink-haired woman also noticed them and then spoke in a business-like tone. "Anti-Hollow Action Department, Division 6, currently on an emergency suppression mission. An Extremely Dangerous Ethereal individual with unknown intelligence has appeared in this area. No matter what mission you are on... I need you to support this mission as a mobile unit—this is an official requisition order issued by me as the Vice-Captain of Anti-Hollow Division 6."

An Extremely Dangerous Ethereal individual? The first thing that came to Wise's mind was the giant Ethereal from just now. The unusual activity earlier was also caused by it. Such an exaggerated size and presence were simply unheard of. Shouldn't we just evacuate everyone as soon as possible?

That's what Wise was thinking, but it was clear that the investigator and the members of Division 6 didn't want to just leave. "Special situation. Original mission terminated. Action objective adjusted to: fully support the Anti-Hollow Department's operation."

And Liu, the Vice-Captain of Anti-Hollow Division 6, the pink-haired woman, directly requisitioned Wise after hearing the investigator's words. "This Bangboo from the Association... I need it to continue serving as a guide in the upcoming operation. Is that a problem? Because the target has deviated from its course, we need a Bangboo carrying 'radish' data for navigation. This is an emergency requisition of supplies under special circumstances."

"In other words, if the equipment is damaged, we will also compensate you," the man named Yuzhen explained after Liu had finished speaking. Since things had come to this, the investigator naturally couldn't refuse again.

"Yes, no problem!"

From beginning to end, no one asked for Wise's opinion. After all, to outsiders, he was just an ordinary Bangboo.

"So they're assuming it might get damaged. Looks like this is really dangerous." As Wise was thinking this, a blue-skinned, Oni-like girl with a pair of long, blue-based, black-tipped horns on her forehead spoke up optimistically to comfort him. "We're counting on you, little Bangboo. Don't worry, I'll protect you."

As she spoke, she also picked Wise up and nuzzled him, the expression on her face exactly like that of a cat lover getting their fix.

"Cangjiao, put him down quickly. You're being too rude," Liu reprimanded her. Hearing this, Cangjiao put Wise down with some disappointment. "Sorry! It's just that I don't know why, he just felt so cute, so I couldn't help myself for a moment..."

"Right? Right? I had that feeling too! I don't know who designed it, but it's really just too cute!" The investigator, upon hearing that Cangjiao shared her thoughts, immediately started chatting enthusiastically with her.

Seeing this, Liu at the side interrupted again. "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but the situation is urgent right now. We must act immediately." As she said this, Liu couldn't help but glance at Wise at her side. In fact, she also had that strange urge to pick him up and nuzzle him. But because her willpower was strong enough, and there were other team members around, she ultimately restrained herself.

Although this plan was outside of Wise's expectations, there was nothing he could do in the current situation. After a brief discussion with Belle, he finally decided to cooperate with their actions first and lead the team in the right direction.

Then, under Wise's guidance, the group advanced quickly all the way, soon catching up with Hoshimi Miyabi ahead. At the same time, they happened to see the scene of her slaughtering a group of Ethereal. After clearing the surrounding Ethereal with a few slashes, she finally landed a powerful drawing slash on the giant Ethereal. But even so, the giant Ethereal ultimately escaped. It seemed that Hoshimi Miyabi's attack hadn't caused too much damage.
