"......"
"Well, as expected of me, I guessed it right away."
Having noticed the fleeting change in the rat-eared girl's expression, Genji clapped his hands knowingly, praising himself in the process. He then turned to leave, but at that moment, a sudden wall of sand blocked his path. The rat-eared girl stepped forward and said earnestly:
"I won't let you spar with me for nothing. Here's the deal: after the spar, no matter who wins or loses, I'll protect you. As long as you're in the Longmen city area, you don't have to worry about being cheated or fooled."
"...Who is your father? I always feel like he has some misunderstanding about me."
Yuanxiang raised an eyebrow, turned to look at the rat-eared girl and asked, though he didn't say it explicitly, the boy felt that his image seemed a little off.
"I'll tell you after we've sparred."
Seeing the rat-eared girl, who was clearly agitated upon seeing him, defiantly taking on a fighting stance, Gensou sighed helplessly. The rat-eared girl paused for a moment, then raised her voice and said:
"I know this is rude and offensive, but I just want to know how big the gap is between us, Mr. Gengo. After our sparring, I will give you a satisfactory apology."
"What a willful young lady!"
Yuanxiang pursed his lips helplessly. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing on his trip to Longmen. However, he was indeed quite curious about the origin of this rat-eared girl. His true identity was kept secret in Longmen. This girl's father must also be a high-ranking official in Longmen.
"Fine, fine, I'll fight you."
Gensho nodded, but just as the mouse-eared girl clasped her hands in a fist salute, preparing to step forward, the boy suddenly made a motion as if moving something out of thin air, saying as he did so:
"Do you want to fight this silver version of me, or this golden version of me, or do you want to fight neither?"
? ? ? ? ?
The mouse-eared girl looked at the two Gengos that had suddenly appeared in front of her with a puzzled expression. She thought it must be an illusion, but when she saw that all three Gengos were looking at her with very expectant eyes, she couldn't help but feel confused. This was the little trick that Gengo originally planned to use to tease Chen Huijie. Although it was a bit unfair to 'Luna', its ability was just too suitable for daily pranks.
"I...I want to fight you!"
The mouse-eared girl sized him up, finally pointing to Gensou's true form. Without a word, she charged forward. To be honest, it was clear this guy was a trained fighter; his footwork was deceptive. Although they hadn't even started fighting yet, his explosive power and agility were enough to make him a formidable opponent. If she were in Chen's shoes, she might have a hard time dealing with him, but for her...
Gensou dispelled the illusions around him and calmly took a step back. The rat-eared girl's long, black-clad legs brushed past the hem of his clothes. He then took a step to the left, dodging the hand chop that came at him. Gensou then slid forward and grabbed the rat's tail. Without hesitation, he used the tail to throw the girl to the ground, making her head buzz. When Gensou saw that she was trying to kick him, he grabbed her tail first and slammed her against the wall.
Seeing that the person was still struggling, Yuanxiang released his tail, dodging the little mouse's hind leg, then raised his foot and kicked her in the buttocks, sending the mouse-eared girl crashing into the wall with a 'bang' like a rocket. Her upper body went in, while her lower body remained outside, her two round and slender black silk legs swaying slightly in the wind.
I already said, you either fight the gold ones, fight the silver ones, or don't fight at all. There are three options: A, B, and C. Why did you have to choose D? What's wrong with you?
Yuanxiang clapped his hands, stood in the middle of the field, and looked around. According to the trope in the martial arts novel Chen had given him last time, now that he had beaten the younger one, the older one should have appeared. He was curious about who her father was, but after waiting for a while, all he could hear was the sound of the wind and the hawkers' cries from the distant streets. This made Yuanxiang feel a little helpless. Didn't Chen say that the stories she told were adapted from the real situation in Longmen? Was that guy just fooling me?
"Hey, are you still awake?"
Seeing that the legs were still thumping and there was no other reaction, Gensou went over and whispered a greeting. Seeing still no further action, he was about to attack when he pulled the rat-eared girl out. Sure enough, she had already fainted; she was really fragile. However, this little rat was still quite virtuous; she said she wanted to spar, and she actually did. She didn't even use the Originium Arts that seemed to be manipulating sand. So, as a report, Gensou used Ripple to revive her, then squatted down beside her, patting the rat-eared girl's cheeks as he spoke:
"How are you feeling? Are you more awake now?"
"You...you didn't use Originium Arts?"
The mouse-eared girl snapped out of her daze and asked with difficulty, in a tone of disbelief:
"Is this all the strength we have?"
"Don't talk about Originium Arts. I don't use any other abilities. My full strength? You should have heard from your father that I can transform."
It was obvious that the light in the mouse-eared girl's eyes had disappeared. She had used all her strength in this battle, but she still couldn't keep up with Genji's speed at all. In a battle, this alone was enough to be fatal. In addition, her moves seemed to have been seen through and avoided in advance. In this sparring match, she was utterly defeated. She originally thought that her father was exaggerating, but now it seemed that he had downplayed the extent of her defeat to protect her pride.
"Alright, Miss, please tell us."
Yuanxiang looked at the mouse-eared girl and said:
"I'm very curious about what kind of image I have in your mind right now."
"He can fight, and he's a decent person, but he's a bit simple-minded and naive. He always takes the blame for everything without thinking."
The mouse-eared girl spoke honestly, but after noticing that Gensou's expression was a little off, she shrank back slightly and whispered:
"I'm just repeating what my dad said. No, it's nothing, I just had some misunderstandings."
The mouse-eared girl abruptly changed her mind halfway through her sentence. Putting everything else aside, her father's old arms and legs might not be enough to withstand a beating from Gensou. Seeing Gensou reach out to touch her forehead, the mouse-eared girl instinctively closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly. This man had just hit her so hard; now her words clearly changed his expression. It seemed another beating was coming. Last time he grabbed her tail; was he going to grab her hair this time...? Hmm?!
The expected pain did not come; instead, an unexpected warmth spread from her forehead. The mouse-eared girl opened her eyes and saw a golden, sun-like, soft light and lightning flashing before her eyes. An invisible force entered her body, making her feel warm and comfortable.
On the other hand, Yuanxiang was under a lot of pressure. Why? When he first came in, this little mouse seemed quite clever, but after the sparring match, he seemed a bit silly. This made the boy very uneasy. After all, injuring someone and making them stupid are two completely different things. In the former case, the other person's family might even say a few words on his behalf, saying that this little mouse was looking for trouble. In the latter case, he might have to pick up a kitchen knife and fight him to the death.
Oh dear, I'm used to grinding bosses all the time, and I couldn't stop myself this time!
Gensou, somewhat flustered, poured more ripples into the woman in front of him, then looked at her, raised a finger, and said:
How many is this?
"...Mr. Gensou, I was just... just... stunned by the blow, I haven't really been knocked stupid yet."
"call....."
Admitting her utter defeat made the mouse-eared girl's tone somewhat hesitant. But seeing Genji pat his chest and exhale without any pretense, the girl suddenly felt that she might have been being a bit dramatic. So what if she lost? She could just try harder next time. Look at Mr. Genji, how open and honest he is, expressing his thoughts directly. Isn't that great?
Ok? !
Genshou, who had originally intended to say something to the little mouse, suddenly sensed something was off about the person's gaze. How to describe it? It was as if the person had found a purpose in his actions. This made Genshou a little uneasy; perhaps the person was holding a grudge...
"Mr. Yuanxiang is truly broad-minded. I have much to learn from you."
Wait, what the hell are you imagining?!
Looking into the mouse-eared girl's eyes, Yuanxiang realized she wasn't lying. A complex mix of emotions welled up within him, but he decided to let it go. As long as this girl didn't cause him any more trouble, he didn't care much. After all, he wasn't settling in Lungmen, and...
If it weren't for Chen and the others, I wouldn't really want to come to Longmen.
This place is practically a walking encyclopedia of my embarrassing moments...
Gensou let out a couple of listless groans, then turned and walked away. At that moment, the mouse-eared girl hurriedly removed the sand wall and followed, asking softly:
“Mr. Gensho, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. You haven’t told me what you need me to do yet. This is the reward for our sparring, and also an apology for your misunderstanding. Please don’t refuse.”
"Then please take me to Hoshiguma of the Guard Bureau."
Yuanxiang didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Don't waste this labor that's offered up so readily. It'll save this guy from finding some excuse to come looking for me again later. My grandfather once said..."
Whenever it was time for "Grandpa's words," Gengo would subconsciously puff out his chest slightly. Then, when he needed to speak, he would raise his finger and twirl it around as he spoke. When he wanted to speak in his mind, he would squint his eyes slightly. These were all his subconscious actions, which the Takamachi family was very familiar with.
But this time, Yuanxiang didn't raise his finger or squint his eyes. He sighed and silently followed behind the mouse-eared girl. He felt that he should have something to say at this time, but after thinking about it, he couldn't remember what his grandfather had said.
The mouse-eared girl walking ahead vaguely sensed the disappointment coming from behind. She twitched her fingers slightly, and sand surged up beside her, then turned into glass. She secretly glanced at Gensou behind her and felt that he was suddenly shrouded in shadow, as if his spine had been pulled out.
The mouse-eared girl quickly removed the glass and sand. Regardless of why Gensou had suddenly become so depressed, that wasn't a secret she should investigate. However, the mouse-eared girl coughed lightly and said softly:
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Yuxia, and I am the president of the Longmen Youth Entrepreneurs Association."
"Oh, that's amazing. You're the president at such a young age."
Yuanxiang's voice of praise came from behind her. Lin Yuxia couldn't detect any negative emotions in him at all. If she hadn't just witnessed that scene, she would have thought that Yuanxiang was just following behind her, looking around with curious eyes.
"It's nothing. By the way, Mr. Gensou, there's something I need to tell you, so please keep an eye out for it."
Lin Yuxia straightened her clothes to avoid arousing suspicion, then continued walking forward. Reaching the street corner, she glanced to the side, and a creature with dog ears immediately understood and ran away. Then she continued:
"Something strange has happened at Lungmen recently. It seems like someone is working against you. You should know that Lungmen used to sell Kamen Rider figures and other cultural merchandise, but recently..."
"Some people have lost their memories related to Kamen Rider, right? That's to be expected and understandable. Don't worry about it."
Yuanxiang's preemptive answer left Lin Yuxia speechless. She couldn't help but glance at Yuanxiang, seeing his calm and composed demeanor, as if he had everything under control. The mouse-eared girl seemed to realize something and blinked in surprise.
Could it be... could this all be a setup deliberately set up by Mr. Gengo? But what is his purpose in doing this? Wait, is it to target Swire? Indeed, the sales of the Kamen Rider series have been greatly affected recently because of that amnesia incident. If he were to cause trouble, Swire, who is in charge of this matter, would have to bear some responsibility. No, I have to remind Swire!
273 I'm still a minor, police, that's an even bigger offense!
That idiot Swire! I told her to be careful, not to be so arrogant, and not to talk nonsense. See? See? Let her show off! She keeps saying things like, "It doesn't matter. I'm good buddies with Kamen Rider. He knows I'm in charge of this, so he won't care." She acts like she's the boss.
As a result, the real boss has started to secretly deal with you. Let's see what you're going to do this time!
No, I have to find a way to send a message to Swire. Although Swire once told me that we would go to the same high school, she ended up going to Victoria instead. But I should still help her out in such a big matter. I can't let her watch her get trapped.
What is this guy thinking?
Just as Lin Yuxia was lost in thought, Yuanxiang's gaze involuntarily fell on her. Just looking at her back made her seem heavy, not to mention that her gait was somewhat disordered.
Could it be that he's really out of his mind? No, that can't be right, so many ripples shouldn't have any aftereffects.
Yuanxiang thought for a moment and decided to ask aloud:
"Miss Lin, are you alright?"
"......!!!"
Ok?
Looking at the mouse tail that had stiffened for a moment and then softened again, Yuanxiang said apologetically:
"Were you startled? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just noticed you seemed a bit off, so I asked. If you're feeling uneasy, you can go back first, and I'll go find the Lungmen Guard Bureau myself."
"...I'm fine, please don't worry, Mr. Gensou."
For some reason, Yuanxiang felt that Lin Yuxia's tone sounded somewhat bitter and dry, but before he could think about it further, a car pulled up beside them, and the guy with the dog ears got out, wearing a fawning smile, and said:
"Miss, the car is ready."
"It really is a young lady, huh? I didn't expect I'd guess right, hahaha..."
Yuanxiang felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he casually picked up the topic and laughed it off. Lin Yuxia smiled along and opened the car door, saying:
"It's nothing, my men were just shouting nonsense. Please, I know the roads in Longmen well, I'll drive, it'll be faster that way."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Yuanxiang smiled and sat in the back seat. Lin Yuxia then got into the car and drove away. The dog-eared dog, who was left behind, had a rather subtle expression on his face because he could clearly see that his young mistress seemed to be whispering something to him.
But as soon as the young lady opened her mouth, the young man with a very young face interrupted her with a laugh, and for some reason, he saw a 'caught' expression on the young lady's face, which was quite a rare thing.
Forget it, I'd better not try to figure it out myself. I'll just talk to the boss and see what he thinks. He should understand what the young lady means.
Thinking this, the dog ears left their original spot.
On the other side, Yuanxiang sat in the car looking at the streets of Lungmen City. To be honest, it was really big. He had been to the Lungmen Guard Bureau many times, but the route was different every time. If someone with a terrible sense of direction were here, they probably wouldn't be able to find their way even with a map.
Ok?
At this moment, Yuanxiang noticed something and subconsciously turned around to look at Lin Yuxia in the driver's seat. He had just felt that the little mouse seemed to be looking out at something, and the movement was a bit deliberate. Was it a shop that she was particularly interested in?
Hmm... thinking about it, maybe so. Even Aunt Momoko and Ms. Kirisu have their own favorite shops, and they subconsciously go there whenever they want to buy something. But isn't she a bit too fond of these shops? She goes to peek at them every street corner, and she's too embarrassed to let herself know. It's like a young lady being held hostage by gangsters and trying to get help from the police.
hiss~~~
After subconsciously making this comment in his mind, Yuanxiang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He realized that his comment was quite reasonable, and that he had been rather impolite. People were looking at their own things, and he had only made things awkward by joining in. He decided to just focus on looking at his own shop.
