Villain Retirement

Chapter 1105: No



"Everyone, look at me...

...I am the Captain now."

"Wha—" Red Helmet was not even done reacting to Riley just suddenly growing taller than her when he was just previously as tall as her knee, and now, he just suddenly blurted out that he now holds her position out of nowhere. Just...

"...What do you think you're doing!?"

Red Helmet tried pushing Riley away as he was almost right in front of her and locking her right arm.

"Wh-!?" But as she did so, she found herself the one being pushed back; her waist hitting the fence of the deck and causing her to just flip over it - fortunately for her, she did not fall at all as her foot was caught by Riley,

"Let... Let me go! You-Agh!" Red Helmet could not even finish her words before Riley just let go of her. It was a good thing she was wearing a helmet, because she would have definitely hit the top of her head then, "Why did you just drop me!?"

"You told me to let you go, Red Helmet," Riley just glanced at Red Helmet, who was quickly standing up and once again just rushing toward him - but before she could take 3 steps, both Yellow and Blue Helmet stopped her.

"R...Red, don't!" Yellow Helmet started shaking his head, "He's... there's something definitely wrong about him. I think... I think he's some sort of android?"

"An android...?" Red Helmet glanced at Yellow Helmet, "But the Overseer only one that is allowed to have an android in Everywhere is the Overseer - wait, could it be... He truly is the secret weapon of the Overseer!? Connect us with the Overseer now!"

"No."

"R... Red Helmet!?"

Both Yellow Helmet and Blue Helmet could not help but just raise their voices as Red Helmet suddenly started floating into the air even though their gravity generator was turned on. Green Helmet also leaped from her seat to grab Red Helmet's feet, only to find themselves also being dragged into the air as Red Helmet floated toward Riley.

"I am afraid you no longer have the authority to send orders, Red Helmet," Riley shook his head, "As I said, I am the Captain now - but since you were the previous captain, I would give you a choice."

"A... a choice!?"

"Be my second-in-command, or be locked in the cargo bay," Riley nodded, "It is not that hard of a choice, no?"

"You-you really think that I would be intimidated by you!?" Red Helmet raised her voice as she just struggled to set herself free from Riley's telekinetic hold, "Fuck you and your pink helmet! Why would someone who sounds like a fucking AI even be wearing a cute helmet like that!? I requested something like that from the Nothing Nothing HQ, but they refused since they told me that it's showing too much individuality!"

"..." The other Helmets could really only look at each other from hearing Red Helmet's sudden rant.

"Then I suppose you are going to be locked up in the cargo bay," Riley let out a small but very deep sigh as he reached his hands out and grabbed Red Helmet's helmet.

"What... what are you doing!?" Red Helmet quickly leaned away.

"You are no longer part of the crew, Red," Riley shook his head, "That means I will be taking your helmet and-"

"Then let me be your Second!" Red Helmet quickly shouted, "Don't... don't take away my helmet! Fuck, don't touch it!"

"Hm," Riley just shrugged; tilting his head to the side as he dropped Red Helmet and causing her and the others to just hit each other when they fell down, "Now that the hierarchy has been set — it is time for us to shoot down the people from Order of Nothing. Everyone, to your battle stations."

"..." The other Helmets hesitated to move at first, but as Red Helmet clicked her tongue and gestured to them that it was alright, they all rushed back to their stations.

"The nearest hostile is-"

"No," Riley shook his head. And before anyone could react, they all just quickly grabbed whatever they could as the ship turned in a way that it shouldn't be able to, "Just fire everything."

"Fire... everything?" Yellow Helmet looked at the screen in front of her, only to see several ships flying around in the distance - including allies from everywhere, "But there are friendlies at front and-"

"Fire," Riley pointed his hand forward, "You do not need to aim, just fire."

"We will hit our allies!" Red Helmet climbed up to the deck again as she reasoned with Riley, "You're an android, you're supposed to be protecting the people of Everywhere!"

"I am not an android, Red Helmet," Riley glanced at Red Helmet, "And I am not protecting anyone fire."

"You are going to kill-"

"G...guys!? My... my hands are moving on their own!?" Yellow Helmet screamed, causing everyone to just turn their attention toward him.

"Y... Yellow!?" Red Helmet grabbed the fence of the deck as she leaned over there to look at Yellow Helmet, only to see him indeed about to fire at everyone, "What are you-Are you doing this!? Stop... stop it!"

Red Helmet could not help it anymore as she just punched Riley straight on his helmet; hurting her hand in the process and removing the visor of Riley's pink helmet.

"Oh..." Riley blinked a couple of times, "...Miss Pepondosovich is not going to like that at all." "You-" Red Helmet was about to say something but then noticed Riley's eyes which seemingly reflected everything, "You said you weren't an android!?"

"I am not," Riley shook his head before raising his hands, causing Red Helmet to back away

- contrary to what she expected, however, Riley did not grab her at all... and instead removed his helmet.

"Wh-" Red Helmet could really only shut her mouth. And it wasn't only her, the rest of the Helmets just stared at Riley, none of them could believe how ethereal he looked even though he was already right in front of them.

He then just casually picked up the visor with his hand and reattached it to the helmet before wearing it again. And almost as if what happened didn't happen, he just once again turned to

look at Yellow Helmet and said,

"Fire."

And without even wanting to, Yellow Helmet's hands started firing at all the ships battling in front of her—whether it was an ally or an enemy, it didn't matter.

"N... No!" Red Helmet screamed, "Tell our allies to raise their shields and-"

"There will be no need for that," Riley raised a finger, and as soon as he did so, all of the blasts that shot out from their ship... changed direction mid-flight... which was impossible since they were actually a type of photon blast. And there, everyone just watched as the blasts flew like fireflies - only targeting the ships of the Order of Nothing.

And in less than a quarter of a minute...

...all of them were gone.

"W... what the f..." Red Helmet could really only stand there, almost falling to her butt if she

wasn't holding the railings.

"Good work, everyone," Riley then nodded and turned around, just shrugging a single arm as he stepped down the deck, "Let us salvage what we can from the ships before returning to HQ."

"O...okay?" Green Helmet, who was the most composed out of everyone, could not help but stutter as she just instinctively followed Riley's orders - they do not salvage, that wasn't part of their job at all. But the only thing she could really do was follow.

And it wasn't only her, the rest of the crew were just literally staring into the expanse of space.

As for Riley, well, he was making himself home inside the ship and just started walking around like he belonged there in the first place - of course, he did not actually know where he

was going.

"What... did you do...?" Red Helmet followed him.

"Your job, Red Helmet," Riley turned around to look at Red Helmet, "Just more efficiently.

Also, where is my cabin?"

"Your... cabin? You don't have a cabin here!"

"The Captain's cabin, Red Helmet."

"There's no everyone sleeps in the same room!" Red Helmet pointed at Riley, "Who are

you!?"

"I am Mister Rirosonovich... or was it Ririrosonvich..." Riley started looking around. "Stop with the fake names! And I don't mean your name! I am asking who you are, did-did

the Overseer send you!?" Red Helmet approached Riley.

"No," Riley shook his head, "I am a refugee rescued by Captain Kuhoo and his crew."

"Who...?"

"Kuhoo."

"Damn it, are you actually just playing with me!?" Red Helmet could not help it anymore as she just removed her helmet, revealing her long black hair that reached almost her waist; the irises of her eyes, shaped like stars as she glared at Riley,

"If you are going to take over my operation, you should at least tell me who you are and who sent you to replace me! They can't just fire me like that as soon as they find someone else!"

"Why not?" Riley tilted his head to the side,

"You seem replaceable enough, Red Helmet."

"y-"

[Nothing Nothing Squad, please report to the Office of the Overseer immediately.]

"...Are you not going to follow that order?"

"No...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

...Continue salvaging."
