A cheer came from outside the alley, and the two of them looked out at the same time.

A girl with short orange hair walked over angrily. She had bangs that slanted to the left and was wearing a white down jacket, but for some reason, it always felt like something was about to burst out of the thick down jacket.

"A young woman with lofty ambitions," Dongfang Chen commented.

"Hey? Hua, what are you doing here?" Yotsuya Miko recognized the newcomer at a glance.

"It's because I waited for a long time at the dessert shop we agreed to meet and didn't see Miko. I thought something had happened to you!" Yurikawa Hana explained to Yotsuya Miko first.

"Well, it really was a close call. It was all thanks to Dongfang Jun's help that everything turned out alright."

Yotsuya Miko was speechless as she recalled the scene where she almost died after revealing her ability to see the evil spirit.

"Really? Well, as long as you're alright, that's good."

Baihechuan Hua looked at Dongfang Chen beside her: "Hello, nice to meet you. I am a friend of Jianzi. My name is Baihechuan Hua. You must be Dong, Dongfang-kun, right?"

"Hello, I'm Dongfang Chen. I just met Miss Yotsuya." Dongfang Chen replied politely.

"Thank you for your help to Miko." Yurikawa Kaname thanked him very sincerely.

Yotsuya Miko bowed again to express her gratitude: "Thank you so much, Higashikata-kun."

"It's nothing, just a wave. There's nothing else going on here, so I'll head home now."

Dongfang Chen waved his hand and prepared to go home, but two hands grabbed his arm. Baihe Chuanhua smiled and said, "Dongfang-kun, we're going to try a newly released dessert. Why don't you come along?"

He hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go?"

Yotsuya Miko: "Higashikazu-kun, let's go together. I happen to have some things I'd like to ask you..."

Chapter 9: It's perfectly normal for me to feel a stirring of spring in my heart upon seeing Zi! (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)

In the end, Dongfang Chen still went to that dessert shop with them.

On the way, Yuri Kawana chattered on and on, as if she had endless topics to talk about, pulling Dongfang Chen and Yotsuya Miko into conversation.

"Eh? So Dongfang Jun is Chinese!"

"So Dongfang-kun is also a first-year student? And he's studying at the private Fengzhiqi Academy. I heard that the deviation value requirements for students there are quite high."

"I go to school wherever I live, all in Chiyoda Ward."

"I see. So, what flavor of 'butt daifuku' does Dongfang Jun like?"

What is "Butt Daifuku"?

"Eh!? Dongfang-kun doesn't know this? Let me tell you, Pipi Daifuku was a very popular dessert not long ago..."

Yotsuya Miko watched as her best friend kept talking nonstop to Dongfang Chen, and she was somewhat speechless at her best friend's social butterfly nature.

She also had many things she wanted to ask Dongfang Chen, but she could hardly get a word in edgewise.

……

After walking for about twenty minutes, we arrived at a dessert shop with a sign that read 'Mrs. Dohut'.

Even from a distance, you could see a dozen or so people queuing up, so it seemed quite popular. However, besides the line of people, there was also a line of evil spirits queuing up for that spot…

Of course, the evil spirits in line were just small karami; the main one was the enormous creature at the end of the line, a huge evil spirit that looked a bit like a toad and was the size of a small building.

It was enjoying a snack, eating a small karaomi one bite at a time, and seemed to be having a great time.

Even Dongfang Chen felt a chill run down his spine when he saw it, of course, only because of its eerie appearance.

Dongfang Chen felt his clothes being tugged. He looked at Yotsuya Miko, who had already hidden behind him. Clearly, she had seen him too.

"That thing was here two months ago, and it wasn't as big as it is now back then..."

Yotsuya Miko leaned close to his ear and whispered something in a trembling voice.

"Don't worry about them, just do your own thing," Dongfang Chen replied.

"Hmm. So, that... can Dongfang-jun defeat that monster?"

Yotsuya Miko asked the question. She was thinking about how Dongfang Chen had defeated the evil spirit that seemed to be very strong, yet he had managed to eliminate it in one move. She wanted to know just how strong Dongfang Chen really was.

If possible, she would like to ask Dongfang Chen for a favor...

"It's alright. If one hit isn't enough to kill him, a couple more will be enough," Dongfang Chen said calmly.

His ability is lightning control. Lightning itself has a great restraining effect on ghosts, evil spirits, and malevolent spirits. Unless it is an existence of extraordinary power, he does not believe that many evil spirits can withstand his attacks.

Hearing Dongfang Chen's reply, Yotsuya Miko was overjoyed and was about to tell him about her situation and ask for his help when she heard Yurikawa Hana shout from the front: "What are you two whispering about? The team has broken apart."

Only then did the two realize that they had already distanced themselves from Baihe Chuanhua by three or four meters, and they quickly stepped forward.

With her hands on her hips, Yuri Kawana lectured, "Honestly, it's a good thing there were two people behind you, otherwise people would definitely be talking about you."

"Haha, I accidentally got into an interesting conversation with Higashi-kun and didn't notice." Yotsuya Miko scratched her head awkwardly.

Damn it, she couldn't say it again. She'd just have to try again another time. She felt remorseful.

After waiting in line for another five or six minutes, it was finally their turn.

Yuri Kawana said to the clerk, "Please give me five of the latest strawberry-flavored daifuku pouches, and five more sweet ones, thank you!"

The shop assistant's lips twitched, but she still agreed to her request.

Yotsuya Miko and Dongfang Chen each bought two so-called "butt-shaped daifuku," along with some other desserts...

On the way back, Dongfang Chen poked the daifuku pouch that looked like two buttocks and exclaimed, "The pastry chef who created this shape is a real talent!"

"Don't you think it's cute, Dongfang-kun? Besides, the texture of the butt daifuku is really good, ah, it's soft and sweet..."

As they were talking, Baihe Chuanhua had already started eating.

"Although the shape is indeed strange, the taste is really good, and many girls like it." Seeing that Dongfang Chen hesitated a bit, Yotsuya Miko also said this.

Dongfang Chen, unsuspecting, took a bite: "It is indeed soft and sweet."

When he reached an intersection, he and the two girls were going in different directions.

"Well then, I'll head back this way. See you again sometime. It was a pleasure meeting you both!" Dongfang Chen waved to the two of them.

Yuri Kawana waved back, "Yes, I'm also very happy to have met Dongfang-kun."

Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment, but finally took out her phone and walked up to Dongfang Chen: "Um, Dongfang-kun, can I add you on Line? I have some questions I'd like to ask you..."

"Really? Then let's add it!"

Dongfang Chen roughly knew what she wanted to ask. Having watched the anime in his previous life, he knew about the girl's experiences.

Yuri Kawana complained, "Kimiko is so cunning. She actually added Dongfang-kun's contact information by herself. I want to add Dongfang-kun's Line too!"

Yotsuya Miko said speechlessly, "I didn't say you couldn't add it..."

After adding each other on Line, Dongfang Chen didn't linger and left on his own.

Yurikawa Hana nudged Yotsuya Miko with her shoulder: "Miko, have you fallen for Higashi-kun? Well, it's not impossible. Higashi-kun is so handsome, it's normal for Miko to have feelings for him..."

Yotsuya Miko rolled her eyes at her best friend, but didn't say anything more. Sometimes, it's better not to know.

Chapter 10: Start your retirement life in no time!

After returning home, Dongfang Chen immediately snuggled up into the kotatsu; nothing beats the warmth of home.

When he has nothing to do, Dongfang Chen will sometimes look for comics and novels to read.

It must be said that no matter the world, there is never a shortage of geniuses.

For example, the book he is currently reading, called "Silver Season," has left him with many thoughts after carefully reading it.

Moreover, he also found information about the author of the book in his memory: a girl who, after being bullied at school, accidentally found her future direction in a light novel.

Of course, even if he knows the other person is a cute girl, it doesn't mean he'll go and chat her up.

Everyone has their own life and their own things to like. If someone doesn't enter your life one day, then you're just strangers.

He was very satisfied with his current life. He had money, a senior female friend, a cheat system, neighbors, and friends from school. He didn't lack anything. Living a peaceful and stable life was more important than anything else.

In today's world, given the right conditions, I could start my retirement life in no time!

[Ding! Dear host, we've detected that you're in a good mood. How about taking advantage of this happiness and trying your luck with a couple of draws? It's easy to get good items!]

Suddenly, the system's soft, cute loli voice rang out.

Dongfang Chen's face immediately darkened: "I was in a good mood just now, but now I'm very unhappy. Get lost!"

[Ding! Alright, host, you're welcome to participate in the lucky draw anytime. We're waiting for you...]

That malicious system! I don't know what it's doing with the points it's taking from me. I asked it before, but it's never answered.

Completely clueless, Dongfang Chen didn't bother to ask any more questions; as long as he didn't get scammed, that was all that mattered.

"Ding dong!"

His phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw it was a message from Miko Yotsuya.

Yotsuya Miko: [Um, Higashikata-kun, are you busy? I have some questions I'd like to ask about evil spirits...]

Dongfang Chen: [About evil spirits, right? Just ignore them. As long as you don't reveal yourself, you can see them.]

He briefly recalled the plot, and combined it with what Jianzi said at the 'MrsDohut' dessert shop that she had seen the toad spirit two months ago. She had awakened her Yin-Yang eyes in October, which meant that about two months had passed.

Yotsuya Miko didn't know if she was being targeted by the evil spirit that had taken up residence in the shrine.

The timeline in anime is rather ambiguous, and coupled with insufficient information, it's difficult for him to make a judgment.
