316 The Boys: Artoria Scares the Girls, Kenji's Endless Hatred and Don't Hurt Your Brother-in-law.

Allen received a message from MM while he was in his room. They would take care of Madelyn but had another problem and hoped Allen would look into it.

Allen received the video in question. After watching it, he sighed. It was Kimiko's brother, Kenji Miyashiro. It should be a good thing that Kimiko is recovering her brother, but this brother is determined to destroy everything in his path.

Some people deserve to have their spines extracted by Kenji, but Kenji doesn't care if innocent people die; he sees the entire country as an enemy.

Rebecca – I'd tell you not to get involved in other people's messes, but I know you will, so go over there and kick Kimiko's brother's ass.

'A response worthy of Rebecca...'

Nokotan – Nots sometimes it's better to leave it to the god(Deer)~

'You're just lazy, aren't you?'

2B – Master, there is a high probability of ending up in unnecessary trouble. It's better to ignore the Miyashiro siblings...

'It's true. Since yesterday, 2B has been resentful of Kimiko for her untimely intervention.'

Artoria – Make sure you can take responsibility if you decide to intervene…

"Kenji is condemning himself to die at the hands of Stormfront… if I intervene, I might save him, but if I fail and Kenji dies, I could end up bearing the guilt of having killed him…"

Bocchi – If... that happens… Kimiko will hate you...

"…"

Allen thought for a few minutes but eventually decided to look for Kenji. It's unlikely he would evangelize him as Naruto does with his enemies, but he could capture him and this time prevent him from escaping.

[Will you tell Kimiko?...]

"I'll do it if I find him. It would be very strange for me to know about her brother without her having told me."

...

(The next day)

Allen was at the door of his apartment, seeing the girls off. They were going on their missions, with Annie dressed in her superhero outfit while Kimiko and Cate were in casual clothes.

"Kimiko, what about your suit?"

Kimiko pulled out her phone and typed, "I'm bringing the claws…"

Annie pressed her lips together. With Cate and Kimiko being so casual, she felt silly wearing a superhero costume.

"This time, you'll have a companion to ensure everything goes smoothly."

Immediately, the three women thought of 2B, but to their surprise, it wasn't her. Behind Allen, a pair of pale arms wrapped around him, and Artoria's golden hair and green eyes peeked over his shoulder. Allen was surprised by this intimate gesture but didn't stop it.

Artoria smiled and whispered in Allen's ear, then looked at the three women. Annie, who was about to become jealous, was overwhelmed by a feeling of oppression.

Kimiko took two steps back while growling. Only Cate didn't understand what was happening but lowered her head for some reason.

"What are you doing?" Allen asked softly.

Artoria kissed him on the cheek and smiled faintly. "Just making my position clear…"

"Since when do you care about that?"

"Since you decided to stop holding back…"

Allen's eyes were fixed on Artoria's emerald ones. "Artoria, are you jealous?"

Artoria moved forward without answering and looked at the three girls. "Well, I'll make sure no one gets killed and no one kills anyone by accident. Other than that, you'll have to figure out how to achieve something."

The girls glanced at Allen, seeking his help, but he gave a bitter smile.

"No seeking help… I knew Allen would be softer with you girls, so I'll be your babysitter today…"

Upon hearing Artoria's words, the girls were annoyed. She was a stranger giving orders, and they were already jealous of her actions, which made all three of them angry.

"A…"

Allen was about to intervene and warn the girls, but Artoria gave him a silent look to prevent him from doing so.

Certainly, Allen is too soft with the women close to him, but that makes them overly dependent, and they end up making mistakes when "Daddy Allen" isn't around.

Artoria looked at the girls silently and let out a little of her power. The three women lost color as they sensed mortal danger, Kimiko held out longer than the other two but fell to the ground and gasped.

"Papa won't help you, if you want to oppose my orders, you must have the strength to do so...". Artoria gave them a calmer look, "Don't worry, if you behave yourselves I'll let Daddy spoil you later~"

Allen could see the fists and teeth of year three girls clenched but they did not respond.

While the girls went on their adventure, Allen needed to find Kimiko's brother.

...

(One hour later)

Kenji wandered through the sparsely trafficked streets, glancing at every corner and place. He was lucky that his behavior didn't stand out too much in a dangerous neighborhood.

Kenji watched from a corner as a bus with Homelander's smiling image drove by.

He wasn't so naive as to think his power was invincible, but he had the advantage; at this moment, he was a complete unknown. Depending on how events unfolded, he could do significant damage.

Kenji was scared. It wasn't that he was insensitive, but he knew there was a low chance of surviving after making his big move.

He had to cause as much damage as possible, preferably by entering the Congress building and demolishing the entire structure. Kenji looked up at the sky. He had researched enough to not waste the opportunity.

"Beware of the sky and never let them catch you…" there was a desire to find his sister, she should have been sent here, but the infiltrators haven't gathered any information as if she never existed, "Damn it! I'll make them pay!"

Kenji swore as he disappeared into the shadows of an alley, a wallet floated beside him. For now, he needed to prepare.

...

Allen stood on a building, waiting for the system to locate Kenji.

"Kenji Miyashiro, I must say everyone in this world was lucky. A terrorist with superpowers is simply a dangerous monster. There's no way to detect them unless you know their identity, and there's no way to defeat them unless you know their powers."

If the plot didn't require it, Kenji would never have encountered his sister and consequently would not have died before committing an atrocious act.

Rick – Plot conveniences are just a lazy tool to solve a problem without thinking…

McDragon – Sure, like pulling a disintegrating ray out of nowhere and calling it science…

Rick – Hey, kid, you want a fight?!

McDragon – No, wait, I was just joking!

While one protagonist sought to meet his end at Rick's hands, Allen received a notification of a message. It was from Frenchie, informing him that they were being attacked by sharks.

"..."

Felicia – Wait, is that...?

Kara – Do you know what's going on?

MJ – The shark attack happens when The Boys try to deliver Kenji to the CIA, right?

Gwen – Hmm, I see, but now it's Madelyn.

Nikky – Does this mean the entire canon went on vacation again? :3

Rogue – The canon was destroyed the moment a womanizer started seducing all the female protagonists -_-

Allen remained silent.

Bocchi – No… aren't you going to go?

"I can't go. Now that things have changed, there's little chance that Kenji will meet Kimiko, and if that's the case, he might prioritize his attack. I need to stop him."

Kenji didn't achieve his goal in the canon, so if Allen allowed it to happen, it would be his fault as the main culprit for the changes in this world.

[Host, I found him.]

Allen rose slowly and began to fly toward a press conference.

...

Congresswoman Victoria Newman had called a press conference, with the major media outlets in attendance.

Victoria Newman is a woman of medium height, with a presence that combines sophistication and authority. Her hair is a dark brown, almost black. Her eyes are gray, reflecting her sharp intelligence. Her dressing style is always professional, characterized by fitted suits in neutral colors.

She was an expert in public relations, standing in front of everyone, and speaking confidently without needing a written speech.

"Vought tried to make the Seven part of the military, but their ambition was thwarted by a series of scandals that only proved that a company focused solely on its own interests cannot be trusted."

Victoria had a firm and strict look as she addressed the audience. "I am against this and I say it openly, not only because of the scandals, lawsuits, and accusations, but because I believe that the military is not a circus for perverts and clowns to run around!"

In a corner stood Allen in a security guard suit and a fake ID. His clear eyes were on Victoria. For now, he didn't notice any physical changes in her. But on the contrary, Victoria's statements were very blunt, direct, and unrestrained. Allen was surprised, as he had expected her to only express disapproval of Vought's actions.

[Host, he's here…]

Upon hearing the system, Allen looked around, and at the same time, his head throbbed due to his spider sense.

A young Asian man with a cold expression and a strong desire for revenge was walking toward Victoria among the crowd of journalists. He wore a cap but also had a press pass.

Everyone in the Chat knew that Victoria Newman was a Supe, and Kenji wouldn't kill her with an attack. But Allen couldn't take the risk of Kenji killing the journalists.

Kenji had a dark look as he clenched his fists, unable to decide whether to drop the ceiling on Newman or to break her neck with his telekinesis. Kenji wanted to stay calm, but the chaos caused by the atrocities he had endured was taking its toll.

"Sister… this is for you…"

Kenji raised his hands, aiming at Victoria. Several agents noticed and turned around, but Kenji was already gone.

...

Allen threw Kenji into a small park. There were no people around, only the sound of the wind and cars in the distance.

Kenji looked around completely confident yet scared. His gaze is fixed on the cape billowing in the wind and then on Allen's figure. Kenji gasped and then felt an indescribable wave of hatred, thinking Allen was from Vought.

"Host, maybe it wasn't a good idea to wear a cape in front of him…"

"That's true!"

"All of you!! All of you made my life a living hell!!"

Using his telekinesis, Kenji tore apart the supports of the park equipment, from the swings to the monkey bars.

Twisted metal tubes aligned over Kenji and pointed at Allen.

"Kenji, stop! This is unnecessary; I'm not your enemy."

Kenji ignored Allen's words and attacked him. Each tube slammed into the ground like a javelin, destroying the concrete and raising dust. Kenji had his hands pointed and his eyes bloodshot while he did this.

"Hey, buddy, you should hold back a bit; you could kill someone," said a voice behind Kenji.

He turned to see Allen standing without a single scratch.

"You! Who are you?!"

Without giving Allen a chance to answer, Kenji directed his powers at him and used his telekinesis to send him flying. However, he only managed to move his cape.

Allen remained silent, feeling a bit guilty for not meeting Kenji's expectations. "If you want, I can fall?"

"Don't mock me!!"

Allen kept quiet. If Kenji were just a terrorist, he could have knocked him down and that would have been it. But as he might be his future "brother-in-law," Allen had to be careful not to hurt him.

Allen was like a lion unsure if he would harm a rabbit by touching it too hard.

Kenji felt desperate. His opponent was too powerful; the skills he was proud of were useless, and worse, his opponent didn't seem to want to fight as if he were as threatening as a capybara. (He is.)

"Bastard!"

In a fit of rage, Kenji used his own fist to strike Allen's chest.

*Crack*

"Crack?"

"AAAAHHHHHHH!!"

Kenji's wrist twisted in an unnatural direction, and he started screaming in pain.

"This is awkward," Allen said, but then he immediately worried that Kimiko would blame him for hurting her brother.

Allen approached Kenji.

"Stay away from me!!"

"Shut up! Let me help you; I'm a doctor!!"

Kenji endured the pain while looking at Allen. Due to the agony, he decided to endure his pain and let Allen help him.

Allen had many options. He could take Kenji to his apartment where he could use his magic, his reverse technique, or any of the miraculous objects from the system.

Allen could call Artoria and borrow Avalon. He could ask Rebecca to inject a sedative or request his two girls to modify reality if they could do anything.

But no, Allen did none of that. Instead, he picked up a popsicle stick from the trash and put it in Kenji's mouth. Kenji felt nauseous but couldn't react quickly enough.

"If it hurts, bite this!"

2B – "Master?"

Allen proceeded to grab the twisted wrist and set it in one swift motion.

"HHHHHHMMMMMMM!!!" Kenji screamed as an unpleasant crack of bones echoed again.

"Well, that was close..." Dr. Walker said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The Chat watched Allen in silence. If it wasn't Allen we were talking about, people would think Allen did it intentionally., and even so, it appeared he did it on purpose.

"What's going on?" Allen asked with an innocent look when the comments stopped appearing.

Kenji collapsed on the ground, unconscious, with foam coming from his mouth.

"A…"

At that moment, reason returned to Allen, and he realized what he had done and what he should have done.

Feeling the sharp glances of the Chat he crossed his arms, looking at the sky. "Good triumphs as another villain is defeated thanks to justice!".

Allen decided to force the plot with the thickest skin possible.

Many in the Chat insulted the cheeky Allen, but he was unfazed by their words.

...

(Somewhere in New Jersey.)

Cate and Annie were sitting in a sedan that Allen had provided for crime-fighting. If they wanted a better vehicle, they needed to produce results. Artoria followed them from the air, observing as she waited to see what trouble they would get into.

Kimiko smiled at Cate as she handed her a soda from the vending machine. Kimiko had gone from being a frightening woman to a kind and attentive girl, which made Cate uncomfortable. She and Annie had gotten used to the other Kimiko, but they weren't cruel enough to wish unhappiness on someone for their own comfort.

Kimiko, of course, felt happy because of Allen; there was no other reason. It was as simple as something everyone has:

To care and be cared for.

To have someone worry about you and to worry about someone else.

To have a place to return to and someone waiting for you, or even the feeling of looking at the door and knowing that sooner or later, someone you cared about would walk through it with a smile.

These things, so simple, so common, were precious to Kimiko. That's why she was so happy. She looked at the sky, wondering what Allen was doing. (He's torturing your brother…)

"Wait, is that Geco?"

Annie, driving, saw a slim young man with a briefcase walking alongside a middle-aged man who looked nervous.

"Do you know him?"

Cate peeked from the back seat, and Annie continued to look suspiciously at her former campmate, after all, he was a Supe too.

The girls followed them silently, and Geco led the man to a hotel. Annie got out and wanted to follow them, but Cate stopped her.

"Hey, don't you think it's a bit disrespectful to spy on them in a motel?!"

Annie calmed down and thought the same; maybe she was being paranoid. Artoria appeared leaning against a wall, saying nothing. Annie thought for a moment and turned to Cate.

In the motel room, Geco opened his briefcase and took out a plastic sheet which he placed on the bed.

"I don't want to have to clean up afterward," he smiled at the man. "So, champ, what do you want?"

The man looked at Geco's body and pointed to his arm. "I want the arm…"

"That'll be four hundred dollars."

The man quickly took out the money, and Geco counted it before taking off his shirt. He then pulled a machete from the briefcase and handed it to the man. Geco sat on the bed and placed his arm on the plastic sheet.

"Do I see it or should I do something?"

"However you feel best, tiger~" Geco winked.

The man smiled and struck the young man's arm with the machete until he hit the bone. He repeated the action, growing more aggressive and savage with each strike. Soon, the man had severed Geco's arm in his reality.

Outside the window, Kimiko covered Cate's eyes while Annie recorded the act of sick sadomasochism.

"Quite a first day," Annie murmured, and Kimiko nodded.

"Hey, how old do you think I am? Let me see!"
