Chapter 54 - Experiment

"Did you also read that kind of manga?" Yui suddenly asked.

'Huh?' Brando felt that the development was a bit strange.

"I know that it is normal for boys in your age to have an interest in that kind of thing but it is quite unhealthy too..." Yui started to reprimand him for having such a p.o.r.n magazine and an ecchi manga.

'What's with that reaction?' Brando twitched his lips but nodded since she was cute when she reprimanded him. He sighed and said, "Yes, I've also read that manga, even though the manga is quite ecchi but the content is great and the food is awesome." He shamelessly promoted his manga to her. He was glad that she didn't find out his real job but it seemed that there was another misunderstanding.

"You're too perverted..." Yui said while blushing.

"..."

They ate dinner while talking to each other.

Yui decided to go back since it was quite late. She put her hand on her mouth to hide her yawn, "Don't stay too late."

"I know," Brando nodded while smiling, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight," Yui said with a smile as he left his room.

Brando heard her footsteps and the door of her apartment was closed. He decided to draw his manga for a while and took out the money that he had gotten from earlier. He whistled since the number was quite a lot and continued to draw. He would check the other thing later since he wanted to be careful.

---

The two people had noticed that their goods were gone, both money and things that they exchanged for each other were gone. They didn't hesitate and went back to the venue to check their goods to see whether they had left it behind.

"Dammit, what is happening?"

"Are you playing with me, bastard!"

"Of course not! There is someone who has stolen from us!"

"Who?!"

"I don't know but they must have been inside when we were in this place!"

"I don't care about that! Give me back my money! I've lost my goods!"

"Tsk!" The seller of the goods suddenly became annoyed. He knew that he wasn't a hero since they would be caught directly. He felt that this matter wasn't that simple anymore. He needed to report this to his own boss.

"Oi! Give me back my money!"

He looked around and said, "Follow me, the money is in my car."

"Good," the buyer was really happy and followed him to his car. He walked for quite a long time and couldn't help but complain, "Where is your car?"

"Did you see it? It's over there."

"Where?" He looked around but suddenly dropped on the ground without a life.

The seller didn't look back and walked to his car without leaving any trace behind.

Brando had changed his clothes into something that could blend into the darkness. He wore a full black windbreaker, mask, pants, and shoes.

There were two holes in his windbreaker and suddenly large wings appeared from his back.

Brando went to his window and started to fly out of his apartment. He was lucky that the moon was in the new moon phase and the light was very limited. His appearance didn't change but his skin had become darker while his mouth also opened really wide as if it was slit by a knife showing his sharp teeth.

Brando managed a partial transformation and transformed part of his back into the wings of a pterosaur. His speed was very fast and he moved silently on the sky without attracting attention from anyone. He was flying toward the U.S.J., which was under renovation after the attack by a group of villains.

There weren't any people besides the contractor's worker who was staying in the building during the day to build back the part of the training facility that had been destroyed by the group of villains during the day.

During the night, there was some security who was guarding that place with a sleepy expression.

Brando moved very fast and entered the U.S.J. without anyone noticing. He went to the Conflagration Zone where he was teleported before. He went to the alley where he had destroyed the fossil of the villain in pieces. He had remembered the camera and the sensor in this location when he entered the U.S.J. before and it was very easy to avoid them but he needed a lot of time before he landed on the alley. He could see the fossil that had been destroyed in pieces that were still on the ground. He opened his palm and the pieces of fossil on the ground started to gather back reverting into the former shape.

Brando looked at the fossil of the villain and changed it into a table lamp with his power. He grabbed the lamp and smiled. He needed to see whether his experiment was successful or a failure. He started to flap his wings and flying to the sky escaping from this building. He was grateful that he didn't have a lot of trouble gathering the fossil that he had destroyed into pieces. He had escaped from the building without any problem and thought for an abandoned building. He thought for a while and remembered the place flying over there.

Brando checked the surroundings of the building to see whether there was a person or not. He entered that place after checking that there weren't any people in the surroundings. He looked around in this building and knew that it was a chemical factory from the symbol around this place. He placed the fossil lamp that he had created on the ground and reverted it back into a human.

The fossil lamp slowly turned into the man before.

The man opened his eyes but he couldn't see anything since it was pincth black, "W - Where is this? Where am I?'

"Calm down, you're safe here."

The man felt that this voice gave him a sense of security but his expression turned into fear when he saw him, "You?!"

"Yes, it's me," Brando smiled and his experiment was successful.
