When Carl wiped out the Black Organization

A sudden ambush from a black-clad group turned out to be an unexpected windfall.

They also took away those incomprehensible pieces of equipment.

Including several instruments from the base where Shiho was once held.

Of course, Miyano Shiho had no idea what Carl had done.

The two sisters simply thought his consideration was beyond thorough.

As for Carl taking those machines, Shiho didn't question it.

She figured he had his reasons.

『Miyano Shiho』: "Alright. If I ever need anything, I'll be sure to contact you, Superman-san."

『Carl』: "Mm."

Carl nodded.

He accompanied the sisters for a while longer.

Nothing dangerous happened.

Though, due to Carl wearing his Superman suit, many passersby cast curious glances their way.

While cosplay-loving youth were common in Neon Country, Carl's outfit was clearly no ordinary costume.

With the high appearance level of Carl and the Miyano sisters combined—

People didn't look at them with suspicion, but they certainly stared.

Their head-turning rate was off the charts.

『Carl』: "Alright. The crisis is over. The Black Organization has been eliminated. You're free to live your lives now."

『Carl』: "I'll take my leave."

『Miyano Shiho』: "Ah... you're leaving already? We haven't even thanked you properly."

『Miyano Akemi』: "That's right. At least let us treat you to a meal before you go."

『Carl』: "No need. I have some things to take care of. Next time, maybe. I can travel between worlds freely, after all."

Zhao Hailun was still waiting for him.

Carl had no intention of staying for a meal.

『Miyano Shiho』: "Well... alright."

Seeing his firm attitude, Shiho could only nod in agreement.

『Miyano Akemi』: "We truly can't thank you enough. If I ever get the chance, I'll throw a feast in your honor."

『Carl』: "Sounds good. Until next time."

『Miyano Akemi』: "Goodbye."

She gave a polite bow. After all, Carl had saved her life.

『Miyano Shiho』: waves hand "Goodbye."

『Carl』: "Mm, goodbye."

As his voice fell, Carl vanished.

『Miyano Akemi』: "Gone again... Superman-san really is amazing. No matter how many times I see it, it never ceases to amaze me."

『Miyano Shiho』: "Right?"

She glanced around. 『Miyano Shiho』: "I want to walk through the park for a bit. Will you come with me, Sis?"

『Miyano Akemi』: "Of course."

And so—

One carrying a laptop bag, the other pulling a suitcase, the sisters slowly walked away.

Marvel Universe

Carl reappeared at his home.

After all, when he took the mission earlier, he had returned home to retrieve the Superman suit before teleporting out.

Now that the mission was complete, he naturally returned there.

Once home, he didn't linger.

He immediately changed from the black Superman suit into a white casual outfit.

Then, his figure vanished again.

—

He next appeared in a restroom.

After tidying up at the sink, he stepped out—

And immediately encountered a young blond guy.

The blond stared at him curiously.

Carl figured he might've been recognized as Superman. He smiled and walked away.

But in truth—

The guy hadn't recognized him at all.

Not everyone watches the news or cares about gossip.

While he'd heard of Iron Man and Superman, he had no idea what they looked like.

He only knew Iron Man was Tony Stark, and that Superman was supposedly another bigwig from Stark Industries.

All secondhand info from friends.

But facial recognition? Not a chance.

So why the staring?

Simple.

He had just come out of the restroom.

And he distinctly remembered—there was no one inside when he went in.

He'd barely stepped out a few paces before returning due to stomach pain.

Yet somehow… there was now a person walking out.

That's why he was staring.

When Carl returned to the dessert shop, Zhao Hailun hadn't even finished her cold drink.

After all—

The whole mission in the Conan world only took a few minutes.

That included messing with Conan and chatting with the Miyano sisters.

Carl picked up his drink and smiled.

『Carl』: "Shall we keep shopping?"

『Zhao Hailun』: "Sure."

The two left the shop.

Since they'd already paid when placing the order, no one stopped them.

Zhao Hailun tugged him into a department store.

『Zhao Hailun』: "So, what kind of gift do you plan to bring?"

『Carl』: "Anything really. Just something casual."

He honestly hadn't thought much about it.

But given that Tony Stark was a billionaire—

It wasn't like the man lacked anything.

『Zhao Hailun』: "That casual, huh..."

She had assumed Carl had something in mind.

『Carl』: laughs "Exactly. He's Tony Stark. He already has everything. I'll just grab whatever catches my eye."

『Zhao Hailun』: "Fair point."

Indeed, Stark was world-famous.

『Zhao Hailun』: "Then... let's just get a decorative item."

With that, she dragged Carl into a jewelry store.

In the end, they picked a clover-shaped crystal ornament.

It wasn't wearable jewelry—

But a house decoration made of light-blue crystal.

Roughly 20 cm in size, with a platinum base. Beautifully crafted.

Despite saying Tony lacked for nothing, Carl didn't cheap out.

The blue crystal clover cost over $300,000.

With a 10% discount—since the shop owner recognized him as Superman.

The store manager gushed about its rarity.

Carl didn't know much about gems, but it certainly looked nice.

He took note of the owner's face. If it turned out to be fake, he'd deal with him later.

『Zhao Hailun』: eyes sparkling "This clover is gorgeous! And the symbolism is so sweet."

Carl just thought it looked good.

But Zhao Hailun, being a woman, was clearly more susceptible to its charm.

『Carl』: "If you like it, it's yours."

『Carl』: "I'll pick something else for Tony."

After browsing a bit more, Carl settled on a circular crystal ornament.

Also quite elegant. Priced a little over $190,000.

After paying, the two left the jewelry store.
