“…”

Princess Summer blinked and looked at Theresa for a long time. “What does ‘King of Cannon’ mean?”

“It means that they are particularly good at shooting.

Theresa said, “Don’t we have cannons in the Emerald Continent, too? Magical cannons?”

“So, the hero that Sister Theresa admires is a gunner of a magic cannon?”

Princess Summer thought for a moment. “Is this Han Te… a dwarf?”

“Huh?”

Theresa was dazed. She stammered, “Why do you say that?”

“Only the gnomes and the dwarfs like to use the cannons.

Princess Summer said matter-of-factly, “Isn’t it a well-known fact? If he is not a dwarf, then he must be a gnome. It’s hard to imagine a gnome with masculinity!”

“…No. He is a human being.”

Theresa was silent for a moment. Then she said, “In fact, he is a very handsome young man, at least as handsome as Lord Black Jack.”

“Is that so?”

Princess Summer looked at Theresa meaningfully. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and smiled. “I understand now. I finally understand why Sister Theresa was not attracted to Lord Black Jack immediately. This ‘Star Ocean Cannon King’ must be your sweetheart in your hometown, right?”

“Pu—”

Theresa spat out the roasted meat in her mouth.

She coughed loudly and wiped her face.

“No, it’s not. Sister Summer has completely misunderstood. I…” Theresa did not know how to explain.

“There’s no need to explain. I understand.”

Princess Summer gave her a very understanding look. “Every girl who is deeply in love always thinks that their boyfriend is unique. Since he is Theresa’s sweetheart, it is not strange that you compare him to Lord Black Jack.

“However, I still insist that you haven’t discovered the charisma and strength of Lord Black Jack yet. The so-called ‘Star Ocean Cannon King’ is just a snotty boy compared to Lord Black Jack. He is not a real man at all. By then, you will certainly forget about him and fall in love with Lord Black Jack.”

“Who says so?”

Theresa burst into fury. “Han Te is not a snot-nosed boy. He is a real man and an out-and-out hero! I also insist that Sister Summer will forget Jack Thunder and fall in love with Han Te when she sees Han Te’s heroic appearance one day!”

The two girls were arguing over such a boring topic.

“It’s quite odd. What did this Han Te do to make Sister Theresa think of him as a hero even more awesome than Lord Black Jack? If he is really so awesome, there’s no reason for him to be unknown in the Jadeite Continent, is there?”

Princess Summer said, “Lord Black Jack once slew a nine-headed dragon. He broke into the temple of the dark assassins by himself and assassinated one of the best assassins in the Jadeite Continent. He also fought against seven great sorcerers and made brilliant contributions in the ‘War of the Golden Roses’. That’s why we admire him so much.

“What about Special Agent Han? What did he do to deserve to be called a hero, or at least a ‘real man’?”

“Well—”

Theresa blushed.

He thought for a long time and still could not figure it out.

He was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Seeing her reaction, Princess Summer secretly blamed herself for her rashness.

“I’m sorry, Sister Theresa. That’s not what I meant.”

Princess Summer said, “What I’m trying to say is that you might not have seen a real hero when you were in your hometown. That’s why you are obsessed with the nobodies in the small towns. But from now on, you will be following us and Lord Black Jack on adventures. You will certainly see a lot of shocking scenes. By then, you will know what a real man and a hero look like.”

“Who says I’ve never seen a hero?”

Theresa bit her lips and said stubbornly, “Alright. ‘Star Ocean Cannon King’ aside, I’ve seen more heroes than anybody else on the Emerald Continent!

“Alright.”

Princess Summer wanted to end the topic. “Maybe there are many heroes in your hometown.”

“It is not ‘maybe’. It is true!”

Theresa held her head high and said proudly, “In my hometown, a man named ‘Punching King’ attacked a city in the sky single-handedly with a body of steel that was as magnificent as a castle!

“There is also a man named ‘Boss Bai’. He is an all-powerful bandit. There are no obstacles that can stop him from moving forward.

“As for Li Jialing, forget it. Let’s not talk about him. He is just lucky and not a real hero.

“However, the biggest hero is a senior of mine. He may be a jovial old man, but when the time comes, he will always come forward no matter how dangerous and difficult the mission is. Even if all the stars in the sky are standing against him, he will always run away and charge at the enemy’s rear without any hesitation!

“All in all, these people are the real heroes. Their strength, valiance, bravery, determination, and wisdom, as well as the soul-stirring and soul-stirring legends, simply make my blood boil. I can’t wait to learn from them and become an indomitable, out-and-out man! How can a mere Black Jack shake me?”

“What are you talking about, Sister Theresa?”

Princess Summer was amused. “You are a girl. How can you become an out-and-out man?”

“I… I mean, even if you are a girl, you can still be a hero. Women are no weaker than men!”

With a red face, Theresa said, “In my hometown, other than the indomitable men, there are many women who are as good as them.

“I once met a queen of a kingdom who personally led a revolution, hoping to purge the decadent nation with flames.

“I’ve seen a woman named ‘Red Fire Dragon King’ who could blow up a planet… a mountain with one punch.

“As for me… I was a childhood friend. I grew up with my… sister. Although she didn’t have much combat ability, she swore that she would plant a golden crop that would make the world a better place.

“Right. There’s also a senior named Long Yangjun. Although I’m not sure whether or not she’s a woman, she can play around with the old hero that I mentioned just now.

“All in all, in my hometown, men and women are all trying their best to release their light and their passion and live the most splendid life. I want to leave my name in the endless universe just like them. I cannot allow myself to be completely devoted and attached to Lord Black Jack, even if he is a super hero!”
