Behind one big rock, in this magnificent desert, stood a little girl.

She had just heard the call of her supposed leader for now, who had happened to lift her and kiss her on the cheek, like a little girl.

Marianne looked in front of her. There was some tea left to sip. Turning, behind the rock, she took a sneak peek.

Josh and Mr 2, who was one of the highest agents, were looking at each other, taking their fighting stances.

Looking up, there Mikita was floating, with her long legs exposed.

Looking at that perfect shape made Marianne bit her lips, before looking at Melissa, who was lying under the rock with her big boobs exposed. Josh had carried her like a princess and put her in the shadow. Marianne could tell that by looking at Gem, who was poorly facing the sun.

She looked at her flat chest and short stature, before looking forward. Josh looked to be fine.

"Since you treat them nicely. I deserve to be waited for." Muttering, she gathered her colours and brush, and then, she started completing what was left of her tea, while taking a look at the first clash between the two.

Josh quickly dashed forward, toward Mr 2, who took a ballet dancer position.

Although Josh appeared so quickly in front of Mr2, the moment Josh stopped to punch, Mr 2 danced, which allowed him to dodge an attack that he couldn't see.

"Got you!" Mr 2 declared as he gave a kicking dance to Josh, who squatted to dodge, and quickly vanished from the sight, appearing behind Mr 2.

Without relying on his eyes, dancing, Mr 2 tried to depend on his ballet-like technique to dodge.

However, Josh seemed already to figure how this technique works.

Instead of punching, he squatted slowly, opened both of his arms, and held Mr 2's 230 cm tall figure from the back.

At that moment, Mr 2 made an elbow and hit Josh on the face.

Taking that hit that broke his face and nose, Josh didn't leave Mr 2.

Instead, he tightened his grip, jumped slightly, put his leg on Mr 2's back.

Josh flipped back, lifting Mr2 and making him face the ground. And when his foe was facing the ground, Josh squatted and used his knee to kick Mr. 2 on the back.

Mr 2 quickly flew to the ground, making a strong impact. Rolling quickly, Mr 2 jumped and landed on his feet.

"Ouch. That hurt my back, you now." He said toward Josh, bowing. "However, it's better than a broken face. Do you see well, hahaha..." Mocked Mr 2.

"To be honest. I felt pain," Said Josh as that The elbow had broken his face and nose.

The only reason that he hadn't dodged was that he needed a chance to deliver a blow to Mr 2.

Josh had a healing factor, so he had taken the risk in order to win early.

Josh put his hand on his face and swept the blood.

Mr 2 opened his eyes widely, not believing that Josh's nose stopped bleeding. No, it's in the right place, and his face looked as fine as the start.

"Shall we continue? And stop fucking around or I'll stop and spank you once I'm done." Josh seemed to piss off as he yelled.

Marianne didn't fucking show up.

"What? Although it's tempting, I'm the one who does the other dude."

"I wasn't talking to you!" Josh yelled at Mr 2.

Marianne suddenly snapped back, and her tea fell to the ground.

Feeling fear from the yell Josh produced, she knew he was talking to her.

Imagining that Josh would be spanking her back, she couldn't help but put her hands on her slightly red cheeks, before starting to sneak to the battlefield.

"Are you shy, tsundere-Chan?" By the time Mr 2's words left his mouth, Josh lost his calmness upon understanding the hiding meanings.

"You son of the bitch."

Josh appeared in front of Mr 2 and clenched his fists, punching.

Because of the hit on his back, Mr 2 had lost a huge part of his flexibility and agility.

Quickly, he paired Josh's fist since he could predict where he would appear.

Josh, however, was more expert when it comes to fighting. Or rather, more talented.

Josh took the punch to his chest from Mr 2, and then, he quickly made claws with his hands, before waving them on the naked chest of the tall guy, making him jump back.

A couple of wounds appeared on Mr 2's chest. Mr 2 looked at Josh with an angry expression on his face as he landed on his feet.

Josh, on the other hand, smirked, looking as though he didn't take a punch at all.

"You will pay for this." Mr 2 cursed, unaware that Marianne had sneaked behind him, and she was holding her brush.

When Mr 2 was preparing to kick Josh, he suddenly felt a very good feeling on his back, like that almost all of his pain wasn't there.

"I'm feeling so well." Said Mr 2 as he let a long sigh.

Marianne, behind him, took a step back.

Appearing in her standing, Josh was holding Mr 2's wrist. Quickly, he jumped and flipped his body along with Mr 2's arm, before delivering a strong kick on the middle of his arm.

Mr's flew with momentum and held his arm and he landed on the sand with his face. A green pattern was drawn on his back.

"See, my patterns are really useful."

Marianne, who was holding a brush, said.

Her ability was hypnosis like.

She looked at Josh, expecting to see if she impressed him, which he didn't show up.

Seeing that he smiled, she didn't overreact, instead, she was more eager to show her ability.

Mr 2 stood up and yelled, with one arm unbroken, yelling. "I won't give up." Dashing at them, he jumped up and lifted his food. Marianne quickly put her brush on the red colour, and, so swiftly, she drew a red pattern on the ground.

Mr 2, who had been aiming for Josh, kicked the red pattern instead. "Huh?" confusion was drawn on his face. But before he could realise that it was the colour's effect on his mind, Josh appeared in front of him and delivered a punch on his jaw.

As Mr 2 flew up few centimetres from the air, Josh found his chance, and he started punching.

Mr 2, since his mind went blank for a second, was getting beaten non-stop by Josh's punches without having the ability to punch back.

Josh, who was practising Kung Fu, was yelling.

"Atatatata... Wata."

Each yell matched the rhythm of his punch.

When Josh felt that Mr 2 was out of breath, he put his fist next to his own hip, bowed slightly, and aimed forward with his other hand. When Mr 2 fell down, Josh's fist vanished and appeared on Mr 2's stomach.

Mr 2 flew back, blood spatting out of his mouth. Flipping on the ground, Mr 2 landed. When he tried to stand up, his legs betrayed him, and he could only murmurer. "Impossible," before falling down unconscious.

"That was amazing."

Marianne cheered up and jumped, before looking at Josh's naked abs.

Josh, on the other hand, was exhaling and cracking his bones, as he stretched his arms down.

"No need to show off," Marianne said. "You already finished him."

Josh, after a deep exhale, lifted his head. "What do you understand about traditions."

"Humph." Marianne turned her head and harrumphed. But suddenly, she felt his hand on her head. She turned to see him smiling. "Good job." He then lifted his head. "Good job not interfering."

However, Mikita wasn't there. When Josh turned his head, he felt the ground shaking.

Mikita was standing above a deep hole, which was placed in Mr 2's original resting position.

"Just wanted to make to finish up the job. Kyahahaha. But he kept rolling each time he falls." Mikita made a crazy laugh, leaving Mr 2 buried deeply in the sand.

Josh just laughed, a drop of sweat running through his forehead.

"Babe, control your sadistic side."

"Why?" Mikita raised her eyebrows.

"I don't want my bed to break."

"Now, you gave me naughty ideas." Mikita put her hand next to her mouth and smiled. "Kyahahaha…"

Marianne turned and spat on the ground, before picking up her brush and walking away.

"Are you going to help me or are you gonna fuck with each other." Gem said as he lifted his head slightly, staring at the two flirting.

"Fuck." Josh said as he gave him a small glance

"Let them enjoy their time, they earned it," Melissa said, almost taking her bra and waving at them. But she was too lazy to move that she let her hand rest on her chest.

"Yeah. You are lying under the shadow. I bet you like it.." Gem clicked his tongue. "I'm the one who is on the sand. No one gives a fuck about me."

"You only get it now?" Melissa said, not denying it.

After that, Josh helped the rest of them to stand up. Luckily for the two, Mr 2 hadn't kicked them so well.

After getting dressed, they went back inside of the two, ordering drinks and buying new clothes.

"Why do I always have to pay," Melissa said, looking at Josh, who picked up a new shirt.

"I'll payback," frowned Josh.

"I can pay. You don't have to pay back." Marianne said, looking at Melissa, who frowned back at her. "No one told you to open your mouth, little kid."

"Hey, I'm no kid, I'm 16."

"Whatever." Josh picked up a new shirt. He won't lose anything no matter who pays.

Soon, Gem entered the shop, with a snail in his hand. "Josh. From our personal DenDenMushi, yours was ringing nonstop. I was too curious and picked up."

"And?" Josh raised his eyebrows.

"Robin wants to talk to you."

Josh, in no time, took the snail from his hand and vanished, appearing on top of one of the buildings outside, the DenDenMushi in his hand as he sat on the edge of the roof.

"Yes, Robin Ane-San," Josh said with sarcasm a bit..

"Ahem." Robin faked a cough from the other side.
