In the following days, Anby, Nekomata, Nicole, Ellen, Kelin, Qingyi, and the other girls all came to see Wise several times. Among them, Nicole came secretly and was unknown to others, while Qingyi came under the guise of patrolling. While visiting Wise, she also paid the thanks she had promised before. She'll just have to clean her body's oral cavity when she gets back...
And today was the day to go to the Outer Ring with Billy. After getting ready, Wise met him at the same old place they had met last time. Aurelia and Odette, as well as Fairy, had originally wanted to go along, but Wise asked them to stay and protect Belle. After all, he wouldn't be around, and it might be dangerous for Belle to drive to the Outer Ring by herself. With the three of them accompanying her, Wise could be at ease.
One of them, whose specific combat power was still unknown but had an S-rank body rewarded by the system, could search all combat techniques on the internet, and could quickly analyze the opponent's situation during a battle—the world's strongest artificial intelligence, Fairy. And the other two were extreme-risk Ethereals who could go head-to-head with Victoria Housekeeping. They should be able to ensure Belle's safety, right?
After giving his instructions, Wise went to the previous intersection to meet with Billy.
A short while later, on the Outer Ring highway—
"Oh? It's so open!" Looking at the wide wasteland outside the car window, and the large and small Hollows scattered around, Wise couldn't help but exclaim.
"How about it? The scenery of the Outer Ring isn't bad, right? Driving here is also super exciting!"
"Mhm, that being said, but this road is too close to the Hollows. There are a lot of them around." If a Hollow were to suddenly expand, the vehicles on the road might be in danger.
"Haha... can't be helped. The Outer Ring doesn't have much aether technology, so it's hard to eliminate the Hollows. They can't even mine the aether resources." As Billy spoke, he suddenly pointed to a group of machines not far away. Wise recognized them at a glance as oil pumps.
Billy then explained that the Outer Ring still relied on oil for a living. Although this resource, which was easily eroded by aether, had been eliminated in the city, in a technologically undeveloped place like the Outer Ring, there was no choice but to use it.
"Huh? W-wait! What's with the car on the other side? Aaaah, we're going to crash, we're going to crash!" Billy's face was filled with panic.
But Wise reacted quickly, grabbing the steering wheel and yanking it to the right. Although they avoided a collision with the oncoming vehicle, they also broke through the guardrail and drove into a Hollow.
The driver of the other vehicle was panting heavily and fell out of the driver's seat. Then, a yellow-haired man and a grey-haired Wolf-person holding a weapon came from behind. The two were dressed in Outer Ring attire. From the conversation between the yellow-haired man and the driver, it could be concluded that this accident was planned by him.
Meanwhile, inside the Hollow, due to its special nature and the strength of the two, neither of them was injured. The two briefly analyzed the current situation. The Sons of Calydon's Bangboo definitely had a bot inside, plus the Hollow data pile Billy had bought. With these, it wouldn't be difficult to leave the Hollow. After all, as a Proxy, it was a piece of cake to calculate the path out of the Hollow using these.
During the data collection, many Ethereals also appeared. Wise also took this opportunity to show his strength to Billy. Among them was a particularly powerful high-risk Ethereal. It had a huge eye in the middle of its forehead and two giant red horns, and it charged over like a bull. Under such an attack, Billy on the side panicked and wanted to dodge, while Wise directly used his charm. While the opponent was mesmerized and paused in place, Wise plunged a knife into its huge eye, finishing it off with one blow. He then turned to look at the stunned Billy beside him.
Just then, a woman with greyish-gold hair, riding a dirt bike, landed in front of them. Her two large fruits also bounced up and down a few times.
"Big Sis Boss!" Billy was overjoyed to see the newcomer.
But the woman's gaze was focused on Wise for a moment. "Eh? I-it's you! You're actually that legendary Proxy, Phaethon?!"
"Uh, after all, it's not good to reveal my Proxy identity in the city, just like I didn't know that you, Caesar, are a big sis boss in the Outer Ring."
"Ah, about that. I actually wanted to tell you before, but I felt it was a bit inappropriate to say it directly..." Caesar scratched her cheek with her index finger with some embarrassment.
Billy on the side greeted her again, and only then did she notice him. "Oh my! Long time no see, little brother Billy!"
"Yeah. But how did Big Sis Boss get to know Wise? And why are you here?" Billy was a little confused.
Just then, a young man with bluish-black hair walked over. He wore sunglasses and a red scarf around his neck. "It seems a great battle just took place here. I didn't expect that after so long, senior's strength is still the same!"
"Oh, it's little brother Wright! You're right. It's just that this crisis... was actually resolved by this person next to me." Billy said, pointing to Wise beside him.
Caesar and Wright were both surprised. Could it be that this frail-looking young man, who seemed to only be exceptionally good in the looks department, was actually unexpectedly strong?
And even if Wise didn't use the system to check their inner thoughts, he could tell from their expressions. But he couldn't help it. It wasn't that he didn't want to get stronger, but after his charm value increased, there seemed to be a restrictive force that maintained his figure in the most perfect state. So, he looked a little thin with clothes on, but he was actually quite muscular without them!
Back to the topic. Caesar answered Billy's previous question. She had received a phone call from a little sister who said in a panicked tone that two people had fallen into this Hollow.
"Uh, it was Belle, wasn't it? She really didn't need to worry so much." Wise guessed that Fairy had probably notified Belle. He had originally been afraid she would worry and had planned to tell her about this after leaving the Hollow.
"So it was Belle. I thought her voice sounded so familiar. It's just that she didn't call my private number, so I wasn't sure at the time. Lucy even said this was a trap. But she told me your information without a single mistake, and even explained the route to come and save you. This is a legendary Proxy, huh? I've really seen something today!"
