Is this mangaka crazy?

At the same time, the scene shifted towards the driver Falco.

In the previous episode, Tanaka, who had been captured, was now in a pathetic state, with scars all over his body and a large lump on his head.

He was naked and tied with iron chains next to the ice pool where Kiko lay.

Kiko's large and small net connection lines were connected to Tanaka.

Obviously, she was infiltrating Tanaka's neural network to search for relevant information.

Off-screen, Maine and Dolio were still arguing.

"Why isn't the data ready yet?" he exclaimed.

"You know Kiko is infiltrating and searching desperately!"

Kiko, indeed, was striving to infiltrate and search.

When switching to Kiko's infiltration perspective, a microscopic icon of a network electrical element appeared in front of her.

"The invasion resistance electrical element here is stronger than I thought..."

Kiko seemed embarrassed and wanted to keep overcoming the obstacles in front of her.

But at that moment...

a completely black image appeared, accompanied by a "bang" in the speech bubble.

Then there was a scene where Kiko was hit in the face and flew backward, and the pink half-face mask seemed to be hit and flew off at the same time.

Kiko's mouth and nose were completely empty and horrible! Yusuke Sato was shocked.

Although Kiko's full face hadn't been seen before, she was quite popular for her sexy and slender figure and half her face.

Many manga fans even strongly voiced their opinions in previous discussions, wanting to see Kiko's full face.

Everyone thought Kiko was definitely a great beauty.

Great!

Kiko's full face was shown as expected, and it was beautiful...

Not to mention beautiful, good enough not to scare anyone!

After Kiko was hit and flew back in the manga, everything went dark again.

The dark image was accompanied by the voice of Dolio, who was marked beside her.

"Maine... Stop... What are you doing?"

The next manga panel showed Kiko sprawled on the ground, a mess.

And this image was, obviously, from Maine's perspective.

Combined with the previous situation, he must have lost control and injured Kiko.

But he didn't seem to realize it.

Looking at Kiko, who was lying on the ground with her mask torn off, at Falco, the driver who immediately rushed to protect her, and at Dolio, who was still looking down and panting,

Maine asked hesitantly: "Kiko... Falco... Dolio..."

"Did you calm down... you bastard?" Dolio panted.

However, Maine still didn't know what he had done and was asking questions.

"Dolio? What happened just now...? Were we attacked?"

"Why did Kiko get like that?"

He was still confused.

At that moment, Falco, the driver beside him, didn't know if he was preventing Maine from getting angry and hitting people again.

Or if he was venting his hatred.

He lunged and knocked Maine unconscious with a punch!

Turning to the next page, the scene suddenly shifted to Lucy's residence.

However, in front of the window sill of Lucy's rented house, from which one could overlook Night City's night view,

David was sitting naked on the window sill.

On the sofa were his coat and clothes.

"Heavy rain is expected in coastal areas..."

"Santo Domingo and...".

Simultaneously, the weather forecast appeared.

The scene shifted again to the large bed next to it, and Lucy, also naked, was covered with a sheet.

But it was obvious that Yusuke Sato already knew from a few pictures.

Lucy and David had indeed had a relationship.

It could be said that it was related to the plot after episode 15.

But at that moment, David leaned against the window sill glass with tired, empty eyes, looking out the window.

The glass reflected his eyes.

At that moment, Falco called.

The scene shifted again, and Lucy, normally dressed, was crouching on the street in Night City.

And David was approaching a car from the side.

"What's wrong... Falco... What's wrong..." David said, and Yusuke Sato realized it was Falco's car.

"Ask Maine?... Tell me..."

David still wanted to know what had happened.

However, Falco quickly left.

David was confused. "Hey..."

"What..."

Then the scene quickly changed, and David and Lucy appeared in front of Dolio and Maine.

But unlike before, Maine sat behind his sister-in-law Dolio, who had her back to them.

"I can't..."

Lucy supported her head with both hands, looking down, and asked:

"Why did Kiko suddenly call for an ambulance?"

David was still a little bewildered. "He was investigating Tanaka, right?"

"What's wrong?"

"You have to ask this bastard next to me."

Dolio looked at Maine angrily and said:

"Shut up."

Maine replied coldly.

Dolio sighed and explained the reason for the incident. It was Maine who suddenly injured Kiko when he snuck into Tanaka's place to search the neural network.

"What?"

"Maine, do you want to get checked?"

David and Lucy gave different responses.

"Maine, next time you discover symptoms of loss of control..."

Dolio hadn't finished talking to Maine, and he walked out with a grim expression.

David was still bewildered. "What symptoms?"

"Cyberpsychosis," Dolio said with a worried expression.

At that moment, David also understood and seemed as worried as Lucy.

At the same time, he also walked out, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Maine administering immunosuppressants.

"Maine... that..."

David didn't know what to say. "I heard from Dolio that you..."

However, Maine didn't answer him, and his attitude was very cold.

David instantly felt something, smiled, and changed his words: "It'll be fine, it won't be like..."

"It's fine?"

But at that moment, Maine looked at him.

"What do you mean 'it's fine,' David?"

"Are you asking me if I'll become a cyberpsycho?"

Soon, the scene reminded him of the homeless cyberpsycho who killed Kiwi.

"Do you think I'll end up like that?" Maine said coldly.

And he slowly walked towards David.

"Maine, I didn't mean that," David quickly said.

However, Maine stood in front of David and crushed the glass bottle under his feet. "Get away from me, David."

He looked at David.

"I'm disgusted by you prying."

Then, Maine slapped David, so hard that he couldn't control his body and crashed into the wall next to him.

"Sandevistan allowed you to move freely...", Maine said coldly. "Do you think you're so great?"

"That should have been mine, remember that!"

Then Maine left directly.
