"That day she..."
Rudeus will never forget what happened that day; it was a day of profound significance for him, in every sense of the word.
"That was the day I left Earth."
"What do you use it for?"
"What to do? Nothing to do, just listen, and you can dance along too."
"I am a soldier, and an assassin. I never dance."
【"Really?"】
"On my home planet, there's a legend about people like you called 'Full of Energy.'"
"The story is about a great hero named Kevin Bacon who taught all the pretentious people in the city to dance."
"It's a great thing."
Rudeus took off his headphones and held them out to Alice. Alice initially took a half-step back, but then accepted Rudeus's offer and put on the headphones.
"The melody is quite beautiful."
[As Alice spoke, Rudius slowly approached her and took her small hand in his.]
Alice and Rudeus drew closer, their breaths mingling. Alice slowly closed her eyes, and the two closed in steadily.
"That's practically me, except Rudius really got the hang of it."
Master Lu Ban looked at Rudeus in the light screen and found that the two of them were really similar, even in their skill at flirting with girls.
Didn't you see that even Thanos's adopted daughter was completely smitten by Rudeus?
After Alice finished recounting her tragic experiences, Rudeus immediately followed suit and began to tell his own tragic story.
This immediately brought the two people much closer, and through continuous guidance of the conversation, they obtained the answer shown on the screen.
--------
Rudeus (before reincarnation) was completely stunned as he stared at himself in the light screen, a master at flirting with women.
I've been a gloomy shut-in my whole life. I've never even held a girl's hand, let alone spoken to one.
If he went out and walked down the street, he wouldn't even dare to make eye contact with girls. If there was a group of girls behind him who suddenly started laughing, he would probably die on the spot.
Because he would feel like he was being laughed at.
And so, looking at himself on the screen, he realized how incredibly skilled he was at flirting with girls.
The instant Rudeus's lips touched Alice's, Alice felt as if she had been electrocuted and abruptly pushed Rudeus away.
【"No!"】
[Then Alice pressed against Rudeus's neck, pinning him against the railing.]
"What's going on?"
Rudeus, raising his hand in a sneak attack, said, "The atmosphere was just right, so why did Alice suddenly change her personality like that?"
"I know what kind of person you are, Rudeus."
"I will not fall for your vile witchcraft."
"It's not what you think."
Rudyus also felt wronged; how could he have known witchcraft?
Alice released her grip on Rudeus's neck. As Rudeus stood up, he saw what was happening inside the casino: Drax and Groot were locked in a fight.
None of the surrounding gamblers stepped in to stop the fight; instead, they all cheered and egged them on.
530: Six Infinity Stones
Rudius's good mood is really going to be ruined.
"First, he tried to flirt with a girl but ended up being threatened by her instead. Now, his own team members are fighting amongst themselves."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I really don't know what it takes to truly become the so-called Guardians of the Galaxy."
Watching Drax and Groot wrestle inside the light-screen casino, and seeing Rudeus's weary expression.
Kageno Minoru guessed curiously.
Almost everyone is paying close attention to Guardians of the Galaxy, even more so than Thor before it.
There wasn't that much attention given to it.
Because no matter what, Thor is still just a story about the Nine Realms and Thor.
It actually expands the perspective from Earth to the universe, but it doesn't feel cosmic enough; it lacks that sense of vastness and immensity.
On the contrary, Guardians of the Galaxy satisfies this point very well, and it also has a very high reputation.
The Guardians of the Galaxy—just from the name, you can imagine that this is a team that protects the galaxy.
Of course, Minoru Kageno doesn't see this in Rudeus and the others at the moment.
Drax and Groot fought their way from inside the casino all the way to the road outside.
[Inside the casino, Drax gains the upper hand in his fight with Groot, and Drax rides on Groot's back.]
Drax's red veins and dark skin, when clenched into a fist, gave him an appearance that resembled a weapon.
However, Drax's seemingly terrifying punches, like the drone attacks in Krillin's prison, had no effect on Groot; instead, they further enraged him.
Groot's hands stretched out, the branches from his armor tightly constricting Drax's neck. Drax roared and ripped the branches off his neck.
"Is it because it is too hard and lacks toughness, making it brittle?"
As Lupin III watched the branches Groot had wrapped around Drax's neck in the light screen snap off and shatter into pieces the instant they were torn apart, he thought to himself.
Drax looked up and met Rocket Raccoon's gaze. Rocket Raccoon pulled out his "big treasure" and aimed it at Drax. The next second...
"Aaaaaah!"
Drax felt a sharp pain in his ear. Iris grabbed his ear, twisted it 180 degrees, and pulled it upwards. Drax, in pain, got off Groot's body.
"Stop immediately."
Alice grabbed Drax's ear and shouted.
"Oh, what are you doing?"
[While Iris was intercepting Drax, Rudyus also rushed out to stop Rocket Raccoon, who was about to fire.]
"This web crawler knows nothing, yet it's spouting nonsense."
Drax shouted at Rocket Raccoon.
"What?! What I said is all true."
[Rocket Raccoon retorted.]
"He has absolutely no respect for me."
Drax shouted again.
"That's also true."
[Rocket Raccoon chimed in, "Rocket Raccoon and Drax are both unwilling to back down."]
"Wait! Wait!"
Rudius spoke to Rocket Raccoon and Drax.
Do you know what this looks like?
"Drax and Rocket Raccoon look like elementary school kids fighting and getting caught by their homeroom teacher, still arguing back and forth."
"And Rudius was the teacher who stopped the two of them."
Kazuma Sato laughed as he spoke, adding that Rocket Raccoon's retort to Drax's "disrespect me" really tickled his funny bone.
"Try calling me a crawler again, you big idiot."
"You're just like everyone else; all you do is laugh at me."
Rocket Raccoon ignored Rudyus and continued talking to Drax while holding his weapon.
"Rocket, you're drunk, no one's laughing at you."
Rudius said to Rocket Raccoon.
"Drax thinks I'm something ridiculous, he said so himself."
"I don't want to be reformed either!"
"I don't want to be torn to pieces either!"
"Then it was taken apart and put back together, then taken apart again."
"In the end, it turned into...some little monster."
[Rocket Raccoon's tone unconsciously carried a hint of grievance, and even his small eyes seemed to be welling up with tears.]
Rudius looked at Rocket Raccoon. Lately, Rocket Raccoon had always given off an arrogant and overbearing aura, very confident and conceited. This pitiful Rocket Raccoon surprised Rudius.
