Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU18EWQQKOh
"BOING!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOIBHj7VHp
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo8iwRPIII
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ442H2Tftpr
WHAM!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjYlXkIsad
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw3OY4GKF9
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5CIOU3MJM
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKgQ06NjX4
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIprNFBWe74
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fAUaXJVmW
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYzhKhiClK
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe7wZyVp6b
SQUEEEEEEK!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPKhp9IxBI
In four seconds…
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA9HXPGbfD
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cFcWjWzbI
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvJeOn5kMl
The entire crew stared.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVgnSAz440
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tLP3cfAEY
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hezTeR5Yb
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtfvlC69oq
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1V7Y1d6bd
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyLjWShcy2
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9WGKW5l0m
He clapped his hands together.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGrf3diOBk
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJa8asIWq6
"INK CANNON!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7b6z0uOls
BOOOOM!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN7IPxRZeX
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdpUvZ5eKR
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Itwdk9ZZ
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA7grYv4kv
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHZ0ZBDYFS
BAM!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfPZInzeR
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqvM7z7B0q
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp5HP5I87V
The ship shook violently.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR3BeJhDTa
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmMzVsunDN
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG1hELuyqd
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi60NNLXnta
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWocReCwjpK
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EpBT0Usqz
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQmSkGwDur
"Sorry, boss!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqkbSurrBp
Dudu facepalmed again.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvoE2W5lx0
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5f6bxht7s
“Welp, time to go!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkqYDCrO6u
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzzRMUgvYZ
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd79f3bwh38
They both jumped off the flying ship.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyjOBEw0V6
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dnTxwT46s
Silence.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TtspzydYt
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTKtw1SVmi
The entire crew turned to look at him.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMzhxZBBzm
A beat of silence.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NMc62W9bF
Then—
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96zSFPuwoo
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWSn6mFK0y
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI5ifsPkHb
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KC6ZxXGcW
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrW3pc5QBV
Nothing.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIi62r7aSC
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyiAEeHmqW
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBcFleXffy
The crew burst into cheers.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoSGJAYUW4
Dudu clapped his hands. "Alright, boys, let’s get moving! I need to find Kuma and beat his ass! Then I’LL be the strongest!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYNT7XIVkD
The crew roared.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEqiQwvzz2
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEJpQCqLlU
BOOM!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1scR9i6rO
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UikDlFcBQ
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cXOQvoKtF
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3awnKdZcaf
(So this is how I die? Drowned in the middle of nowhere because of some idiot rabbit? I swear, if I become a ghost, I’m haunting his ass—)
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtWN1DrMqJ
SPLASH!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR1s9Pwayl
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7tMAcnTYo
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslewPOnfRP
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdIIrA7Hy2
WHACK!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKIlnvc97e
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLaor2iNfr
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxTpIdD5CP
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYyEDEJBVE
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA0s02YfUu
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1TrXCO4uy
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWhbCHXBuF
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5ZenvkTbK
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sY4Xtqg1T
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPKjYprMLW
Lilith facepalmed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfXzrHSj8O
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXV2gjykZE
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaTupZWDUc
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8KcZvwCXZ
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs20fDIiiLu
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELwJQ7GQqx
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYSUbp3hv7
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKYG8aKT7M
It floated forward with him.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwkPyYtynq
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYk0sNvTEF
Lilith raised an eyebrow. "…You do know we literally just fell off a flying ship, right? Why not just use that fancy ship over there?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bqhDCdwvX
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIomfU1ErG
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM1Nm76jCj
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKyR0y4VjO
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOQbVkLg0r
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RqbfYIrMK
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHURFvGqZy5
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBxzkRbI0F
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8bwgS4xYh
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q9B38KHyV
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT532gGM3uu
Then—
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr551XmKRb9
Eleo suddenly froze.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKwGBsDCvI
His eyes widened in horror.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmls2gmCbf
"OH NO!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDTfs7pCgz
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6cpXhwLwQ
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7uL21P5EF
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkn7kUkp46
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqHBLuwnEZ
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RA1HtKAxX
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLCXe8fIFb
She snapped her fingers.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOhfntrpTI
POOF!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mH4BJLDHF
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjvF6zXtin
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4O2ZkKq2x
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgb8nJuUgQ
He hugged her tightly.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VUj7fNOV2
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShtEY0LDW
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N1ZV5GVLg
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMPr53goLB
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkGf8yNzN1
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03l0vXjrSo
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviZzQHetNH
Eleo blinked.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHplHHmDmE
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwvanVeAPd
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcOzJC1jYP
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY1d62YOET
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCACQwC2Ku
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRkko1Hht
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXqkUZoH9
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirnRvzynqp
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc6YiIetkj
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjizKkgD5P
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I7qcYnmm2
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWVZjwgfr4
Eleo’s ears perked up. "BURGER TOWN?!" He jumped up so fast that the bubble wobbled. "You mean, like, a whole town of BURGERS?! This might be the greatest place ever!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF71ByAeq9
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDepZt9VV79
Eleo wasn’t listening. "What if the houses are made of buns?! The streets are made of fries! Oh! Oh! And the rivers are flowing with ketchup—"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT8whHo2GZ
BOOM.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkBBO5WCx4
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5uIh9ZnCC
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkGMXj0bAL
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFrGE2T25d
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQW3tNSOOQ
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNbBqwR5H5
The once vibrant city was now a wasteland of rubble. Buildings were collapsed, streets were cracked, and the famous Burger Tower—the town’s pride—was split in half. Smoke rose from the ruins, the scent of burning wood lingering in the air.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ZbCCxuJX
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K2DsUhluQ
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sIY7DgxCc
Eleo knelt down, picking up a broken wooden sign that once read BURGER TOWN SPECIAL: TRIPLE CHEESE DELUXE! He sighed. "Man, I really wanted to try that…"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPypSUZUbzb
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0VpSRJ6ql
Then—
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrjY8z7TR1
CRUNCH.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ts83IZoJo
Eleo stepped on something.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Ws7gbqcd
He looked down… and froze.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiyUMyLCPv
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1OwoCSado
Lilith stiffened.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Tu6khIqS
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseKGUKrusG
Then—
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON4RZXRMFV
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5rMiddR6c
"H…Help…"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT0vgm7wC0
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEm3nMA9lI
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQw2piorzn
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkNMQMsUNn
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00NWhRAP6s
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKtrct7CWt
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxgjgNjFC3
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bzDQDHVY0
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBgBS7XTmz
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXgHXpr0Dy
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACA0jLAkOg
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp92WjfEYZl
Lilith’s fists clenched.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuGfYuM2RC
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVZbJYgYgO
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mNQaKzdPT
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
