Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!

"I want that."

Erii suddenly stopped and refused to go any further. She held up her notebook and pointed to a stall next to her.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked over. It was a classic Japanese shrine game stall called Senbon Rope.

Hundreds of ropes hung down from the stall, with the other end of each rope looping around the roof panel and tied to the prizes in the middle of the stall. The game was simple: players would choose a rope and pull it, and whatever the rope pulled out, they could take home.

He knew at a glance what Erii wanted: a life-sized Rilakkuma plush toy. The stall owner clearly understood that the people attending the festival today were all young people, so he prepared such a grand prize and even posed it for a special occasion.

The giant teddy bear sits atop a pile of prizes, its head slightly raised, its black eyes revealing a disdainful air. Visitors who are not mentally prepared may be startled at first glance.

"Let's go play that then."

Lu Mingfei also became interested. Probably no one could tolerate being looked down upon by a toy, right? The bear had a contemptuous expression on its face, like a courtesan from an ancient brothel waving a handkerchief at you from upstairs, calling out, "Sir, come and play! Sir, come and play!"

"This is bad! Potato chips, did you arrange for that person at that stand?"

As she mingled among the tourists, Mai Shude couldn't help but facepalm. Not far from her were the men sent by the Snake-Headed Eight Family. Those men in black were clearly not as professional as her. Mai Shude spotted them, but they hadn't noticed anything amiss even though they had brushed past her several times.

"I regret to inform you that it is not."

Su Enxi's weak voice came through the earphones. This poor maid was currently busy with Inoue Hiroshi's election and also had to keep an eye on Young Master Lu's date. Doing two things at once had truly exhausted her.

"It's just a rope game, isn't it? What's there to worry about if the head of the Uesugi family just wants to play a game? Don't always overreact, I'm very busy right now!"

"Look at the expressions on their faces."

Mai Shude didn't explain, but silently adjusted the position of the camera, pointing it at the men in black.

Su Enxi was dumbfounded. The camera captured their faces clearly, and these elites from the Execution Bureau actually looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They didn't even care about being exposed and immediately took out their walkie-talkies and whispered to each other.

Then she saw more men in black rush out of the crowd, each with a visible look of anxiety on their face.

"no……"

Su Enxi was truly bewildered, somewhat confused about what had happened:

"Did I forget something? Or is there a bomb tied to the other end of the rope? Do the Japanese always go this far with their games?"

"The other end of the rope was tied with some snacks and toys, not bombs."

Mai Shude said, "But the ones pulling the rope later will be two walking nuclear bombs, the kind that are highly flammable and explosive."

"What do you mean?"

"Although I've never played this kind of game, I've heard that some bosses are quite unscrupulous and tamper with the ropes. The rope for the grand prize is hidden, so no matter which rope a player pulls, they can't take the grand prize."

Mai Shutoku said, "Imagine if you were to play, what would you do if you played several times in a row and still couldn't win the grand prize?"

"I'll just pay for all the ropes."

Su Enxi answered without hesitation that for her, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Since she couldn't win the grand prize, she might as well buy all the chances to win and then draw them one by one. Eventually, one of the ropes would be tied to the grand prize.

"What if you pull all the ropes and find there's no grand prize?"

"Then I'll just overturn his stall! Then I'll use the rope I bought to hang the boss up, and braid the rest of the rope into a whip to lash him mercilessly!"

You are angry because you feel deceived.

Mai Shude took a deep breath. "You'd hang the boss up with a rope and whip him, but what if it were Lu Mingfei or the head of the Uesugi family? What do you think they'd do if they got angry?"

Su Enxi didn't answer. A rustling sound came from the earpiece, and Jiu De Mai frowned.

"What are you doing?"

"Nonsense! Of course I'm packing my bags and running away... No, these bags are nothing compared to my life. I'm buying a ticket and leaving Japan right now!"

Su Enxi cursed, "Damn it! I should have known! I actually thought it was normal for two nuclear bombs to have a date, that they would just stay put and not explode!"

"Is it really necessary to be so dramatic? You look like a terrified little rabbit right now."

"No, compared to Lu Mingfei and the Uesugi family head, we're not even worthy of being called innocent rabbits. At most, we're just a few blind paramecia, and we wouldn't even feel bad about crushing them!"

Su Enxi paused for a moment, "You're so calm, do you already have a solution in mind?"

"No, I'm so calm only because it's too late to run away now. They've already paid, and the head of the Uesugi family is holding the rope."

"Itsuka Mai said calmly."

"Oh! Damn it!"

Su Enxi shouted, "We can only pray that this stall owner isn't that heartless; right now, his conscience is worth the entire country of Japan!"

Unaware of her sudden surge in value, the stall owner watched the couple with a smile. Erii carefully selected the ropes, but the ropes varied in thickness and wear, making it impossible to discern the location of the grand prize. Hesitantly, she turned her head to look at the stall owner, her eyes filled with an irresistible allure.

"Little girl, this game is all about luck. If you only rely on the differences in the ropes to distinguish them, you'll easily miss out on the big prize."

The stall owner turned his head and coughed. Being looked at with such eyes by such a beautiful girl was a bit unbearable even for someone who considered himself to have seen through the world. The two little devils inside him were fighting.

A little white figure shouted, "Quickly give her the grand prize! Can you really bear to see such a beautiful girl sad in front of you because she can't win the grand prize?"

But another little black figure retorted that in our business, rules are paramount. Of course, you can just give her the grand prize, but have you ever considered that this good fortune doesn't actually belong to her? We are the judges of this good fortune!

The inner struggle intensified, and the two villains fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.

Word of Power: Release of Royal Authority.

Word of Power: Kamaitachi Released.

"Eri, do you trust me?"

Lu Mingfei ignored the strange stall owner, casually pulled out a rope, and looked into the girl's beautiful dark red eyes. "The grand prize is on this rope."

"I trust you."

Erii nodded seriously and placed her hand in Lu Mingfei's hand without hesitation.

With both hands pulling the rope together, the arrogant teddy bear was hoisted up. The boss inexplicably felt a chill, as if he himself were being hung there.

The surrounding tourists applauded and cheered for the lucky couple.

Erii stood beside Lu Mingfei, holding a huge teddy bear, her face glowing rosy in the sunlight.

"Great, Japan has escaped another disaster."

Mai Shude, who had witnessed all of this, withdrew her gaze.
