The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 840 The Beginning of the War (19)

On the way home after school, Inuyama Heita was still following the two conspicuous big brothers not far behind him, which made him sigh. Although it was for his safety, it did cause him a lot of trouble. Today, a teacher at the school gate asked him whether he needed to call the police.

"Just be patient, there's still half a month left." Inuyama Heita said to himself, "As long as I get through this period and defeat the Hope Cult, there won't be any problems."

After walking for a while, he subconsciously walked to the door of the office. Looking up, he saw that Lingkong Office was still in a dilapidated state. The windows were sealed with wooden boards, and no one knew when they would be repaired.

"What are you doing here?" Ah Jian said from the side: "Brother Yi is not here either."

Inuyama Heita shook his head: "I'm used to it..."

He used to come here after school to see if there were any commissions before going home. But just now he was too distracted on the way and ran here without paying attention.

Inuyama Heita glanced at the two elder brothers behind him and sighed: "Let's go home."

Now that I have these two around me, it’s very troublesome to go anywhere. It’s better to go back early so that they can get off work earlier.

He went straight back to his apartment and prepared to do the homework assigned by school today.

"You are so leisurely~ Inuyama clan~" Ken floated beside him, resting his head on his head and said, "The decisive battle is about to start, and everyone is preparing for the battle. As the main force, you are doing your homework here. Aren't you a little too leisurely?"

Inuyama Heita didn't even raise his head, the pen in his hand rustled on the table: "I want to help too, but now is the preparation stage before the war. I can't provide any help except my spiritual power, and I don't have any connections. The most important thing I should do now is to stay at home and not cause trouble to others. Besides, isn't it normal for students to do their homework?"

Ah Jian complained: "You are so useless~ Can't you do some intensive training before the war like the protagonist in the comics? If this is a comic, then at most you are a supporting character who is forgotten by the author after your appearance, right?"

"Xiaobai." Inuyama Heita paused with the pen in his hand and suddenly shouted, "Mr. Ken, I'm leaving it to you."

A white shadow appeared in the room, its eyes flashing green light.

"Wow, I forgot this guy was here!" Ah Jian shouted in horror, "Hey! I was just joking. Get away, you stinky fox! Don't touch me!"

"Ahhhhh Inuyama, help me, I was wrong!"

Ajian was dragged out of the room by the white fox while screaming.

Inuyama Heita stood up and closed the door, breathing a sigh of relief. Without Ken's chatterboxing, he could finally concentrate on doing his homework - as long as he ignored the shouting in the living room.

About an hour later, Inuyama Heita finally finished his homework. He stretched and, as usual, ignored Ajian and Baihu who were playing in the living room, went to the kitchen, tied on an apron, and started preparing dinner.

Nanajo Masato opened the door with the key, and as soon as he entered, he saw the white fox beating Ajian.

"Nanajo! Save me!" Ajian crawled on the ground with his head in his hands. The white fox stood on his back, tongue hanging out, and was kicking the back of his head with its hind legs, making "嘤嘤嘤" sounds from time to time.

Nanajo Masato took a look and exclaimed, "You two have a really good relationship." Then he ignored Ken's request for help and put on his slippers.

"Hey! How can we be good friends?" Ken yelled, "Aren't you just teasing me?" "Huh? Are we having hamburger meat today?" Shichijo Masato came to the kitchen and saw Inuyama Heita serving the food. "Oh, it seems I'm back at the right time. I've been busy all day and I'm hungry."

Inuyama Heita came out with a plate: "We'll be eating soon, go wash your hands first."

A faint fragrance wafted through the living room. Shichijo Masato picked up his chopsticks, said "I'm starting," and began to eat.

Inuyama Heita turned on the TV, which was reporting news about the Hope Church. He muttered as he watched the TV, "It seems that the Hope Church has really been exposed. Even people in my class are discussing them..."

Nanajo Masato nodded: "Yes, this is all thanks to everyone's joint efforts. I have been busy with this for a while. The more I investigate, the more I feel hopeful. It would be too discouraging if our efforts were useless... Oh, by the way, when I went to the company to help my eldest brother today, I accidentally got a good thing. I almost forgot about it."

He pulled a USB drive from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"What is this?" Ajian floated over with a white fox on his head. The white fox seemed to be tired from playing and was lying on his head to rest. If you didn't look carefully, you would think Ajian was wearing a white fox fur hat.

"Have you surrendered and become the fox's mount?" Nanajo Masato looked at Ajian with sidelong glances.

"Uh...you haven't said what this is yet!" Ajian forced a change of subject.

Inuyama Heita also looked at the USB drive curiously: "Is it software? Could it be that this is what Mr. Ken wants..."

"That's right!" Nanajo Masato smiled and looked at Ken: "The installation program for Doki Doki Adventure 2 is in there! After several months of development, the game is finally completed. This is still the first version, and the official version will take another two months of testing and modification before it can be released. In other words, you are the first players to play this game."

After hearing what Nanajo Masato said, Ajian's eyes became dull. The white fox on his head sensed something, jumped off his head, and disappeared without a trace.

"You mean... this game... Masaki-chan..." Ajian became a little incoherent. He looked at the USB flash drive on the table and didn't know where to put his hands. He was as excited as a little virgin who was about to meet the object of his secret crush.

Inuyama Heita was surprised: "It really is this game... So it has been developed all along? After Mr. Nanajo was kicked out."

Nanajo Masato scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Originally, after I was kicked out by my grandfather, the funding of the game studio was indeed stopped. It was half a month ago that my eldest brother woke up. When he investigated the company's recent situation, he found that the funds I transferred were invested in this place, and then... he misunderstood that I liked this game, so he injected funds again..."

At that time, Nanajo Osamu showed a teasing expression as if to say "So you like this kind of thing", and Nanajo Masato hurriedly wanted to explain, but Nanajo Osamu just had an ambiguous look of "I understand, I understand" and approved a new sum of money for the studio.

The game was almost developed, but it was suspended because of an accident involving Masato Shichijo. Now that the funds have arrived, the game's producer immediately took advantage of the money and worked overtime to complete the work to avoid any more accidents.

"I bought this game with my moral integrity." Nanajo Masato said to Jian with resentment: "You have to thank me, Jian."

Ajian seemed not to hear his words. He just stared at the USB drive, at a loss as to what to do.

"Is it finally time?" Inuyama Heita asked Ken, "Do you want to play, Ken-san?"
