Swire, holding a cup of tea, smiled as she betrayed Chen Huijie. In response, the Dragon Girl's expression instantly hardened. She coldly glanced at the clueless char siu cat and silently handed the Crimson Sky Sword to Yuanxiang.
"It's not that bad, it's not that bad."
The sword-drawing operative silently pushed the sword back, then looked at Hoshiguma, who was also having a headache, with a questioning gaze. The large oni sighed helplessly and said softly:
"Chen took the wrong Swire bag, and when he was arresting the criminal on the street, he could only use the perfume inside."
"Pink Dragon, do you know the price of those perfumes?! If you hadn't taken the wrong bag, you wouldn't have had a chance to use them!"
"Char Siu Cat, if you had used your perfumes to subdue three or four thugs in public, I would have let this matter go. But what did you do?!"
"Shh~~~~"
Seeing the two arguing more and more heatedly, Yuanxiang raised a finger to shush them, and said:
"Keep your voice down, it's the middle of the night, and I have other tenants here."
"tenant?"
Upon hearing Yuanxiang's words, Swire and Chen Huijie immediately became obedient, and then asked in unison with curiosity, to which Yuanxiang nodded and answered slowly:
"They are two friends I rescued from elsewhere. They can only survive by relying on my power, so they can't stray too far from me."
"I see. Then we won't bother you any longer."
Upon hearing that there was a 'patient' present, Chen Huijie and the other two immediately stood up, waved goodbye to Yuanxiang, and at the same time, quietly inquired:
Do you have time tomorrow?
"Of course, I haven't had anything to do these past few days."
Yuanxiang shrugged and said with a smile:
"Summer vacation is over, and the peak season here is also over, so I've been quite relaxed lately."
"That's good. See you tomorrow then?"
Chen Huijie tilted her head slightly and asked in a tentative tone, but she didn't seem to be very good at such behavior, so she looked a little stiff. However, after seeing Yuanxiang nod, she smiled happily, pushed Shi Huaiya and left. Xingxiong put the used cups together and waved to leave with her friend.
"Orc?"
"Sister, that's a beast girl!"
After the three from Longmen left, Cangxuan and Danzhu appeared at the back hall entrance. The two little heads were huddled together looking at the living room, whispering that the two of them had disappeared through the wall the moment the door was pushed open, leaving Yuanxiang standing there as if he was about to do a backflip. Helpless, Yuanxiang used the power of 'Luna' to temporarily erase his whereabouts to avoid an awkward situation.
"Alright, go and rest. I'm actually a little sleepy too."
Gengo looked at his sisters, who were listening to their younger sister talk about how wonderful beast girls were, clutched his chest, stood up, and said softly, "That's really the truth. After being severely injured by that 'Joker' power, he's become like a normal person, with a similar daily routine, which Gengo is really not used to."
"Don't forget, you need to have..."
"A sense of ritual~~~" x2
Cangxuan and Danzhu took the lead in unison, looking helplessly at the boy who was inexplicably too concerned about this. Then, the two sisters followed behind Yuanxiang, said goodnight to each other, and fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, it was a bright and sunny day. Yuanxiang groggily propped himself up, rubbed his still sleepy eyes, and then casually touched 'Fang' lying on his stomach. The vomiting of blood clots did not stop with his sleep, so 'Fang' had really worked hard these past few nights. Even after he fell asleep, 'Fang' was still responding to his requests and destroying that terrible power.
"Hmm? Those two..."
After patting his cheeks and clearing his head a bit, Yuanxiang realized something was amiss. Normally—no, based on the past few days—the sisters should be by his bedside, ready to 'scare' him a little, chatting casually to keep him company while he was still a bit groggy from waking up. So, not seeing them this time felt really strange to Yuanxiang. Had he gotten up too late this time?
Yuanxiang glanced at the time; it was five minutes later than yesterday, but that wasn't a big deal. So... did guests arrive?
Thinking of something, Yuanxiang stood up, put on his clothes, and walked towards the door. Just as he reached the living room, a small child bumped into him. The child paused for a moment, seemingly timid and shy, but still mustered his courage and whispered:
"Brother Yuanxiang, is that right? You're the one who saved me!"
"I remember you, Josuke, right?"
Gengo glanced at Jotaro Kujo and the others who were waving in his direction, then smiled and ruffled Josuke's hair, saying:
"You're amazing. You persevered for so long. Without your efforts, I wouldn't have had time to save you. So, Sho-suke, remember to praise yourself more often."
"Is that so? Hehehe~~~~"
Josuke scratched the back of his head and gave a shy smile, while Jotaro Kujo walked over and gently pressed his uncle's head, saying:
"The hospital where this child was previously staying suddenly reported that a shadowy door flashed through the room. I thought it was related to you, so I took him there to check on him. I didn't expect him to end up here. It seems I have to talk to the old man and change that hospital to another one, otherwise it might cause you trouble."
"No need, not just anyone can come through that door."
Gengo, holding Josuke's hand, walked towards the sofa and said softly:
"And I can adjust it later. You find a suitable place, I'll remove the hospital entrance and open a new one."
"I see, I understand. I'll tell the old man about this when I get back."
Jotaro Kujo nodded, then reached out and tugged at the brim of his hat, coughing lightly as if embarrassed, and said:
"Don't misunderstand, I've been temporarily taking care of my uncle recently, so it's just the two of us here. Others also want to see you, but they haven't had a chance yet. I don't know what the old man and the others are busy with in America."
"Hey, I thought it was something serious. Don't worry about it, there's plenty of time in the future."
Gengo chuckled and waved his hand, then leaned back on the sofa and introduced Cang Xuan Dan Zhu, who was sitting opposite him. The two sisters hadn't appeared in his room, obviously they were here to entertain guests on his behalf. Kujo Jotaro was also a quiet type. Although he tried hard to find topics to talk about, the conversation was led by Gengo the whole time, just like when they last met. So Kujo Jotaro started to feel a little embarrassed, which Gengo naturally noticed. No matter how strong Kujo Jotaro's physique was or what kind of Stand ability he possessed, he was still just a high school student who hadn't graduated yet, and he was still quite shy.
"Jotaro, I want to go out and play~~~"
At this moment, Josuke Higashikata, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer. After all, he was still just a child, and it was impossible for him not to be curious after arriving in a new place. Hearing this, Jotaro Kujo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gengo and said:
"If you don't mind, take us out for a stroll around the city. I haven't seen much of this city yet."
"Of course... um?"
Genji readily agreed, but at that moment, he felt Sougen secretly slip something into his pocket. Curious, he turned to look and saw Sougen gesturing with his fingers to resemble a gold coin, giving him a slight, affirmative nod. At the same time, Josuke Higashikata looked at his nephew, hesitated for a moment, then gently tugged at Jotaro Kujo's sleeve and whispered:
"Jotaro, can we skip the aquarium this time? I want to go somewhere else to play."
"...Of course, no problem."
Upon noticing Gengo's amused look, Jotaro Kujo quickly lowered his hat brim and continued speaking in a deep voice. Gengo then put on his coat, glanced back at Sogen Danju, and realized that the two sisters clearly didn't want to follow. The boy didn't say much, waved, and took Josuke Higashikata's hand as they left.
Genji was very skilled at taking care of children, and easily made Josuke Higashikata happy, while also ensuring Jotaro Kujo had a great time. Although they couldn't go to the aquarium, there were plenty of other places related to dolphins. However, what surprised Genji was the considerable amount of money that Sougen had stuffed into his pocket—far more than he had earned during the summer vacation. This made Genji question his own earning ability for a moment. After all, Sougen had only been there for a few days; surely he couldn't have withdrawn his savings to make himself look rich? Only a greedy little devil would do something like that.
Just as Yuanxiang and his group were walking back, 'Cyclone' brought back new news: guests had arrived at the agency. Judging from the scent carried on the wind, it was probably Chen Huijie and her two companions, along with everyone from the Reunion Movement. What a coincidence! These two sisters really know how to pick their timing; they managed to bump into each other at the perfect moment. However, this meant the agency's living room would be too crowded. Hmph, see how farsighted I was; clearing out the warehouse was such a wise decision.
Gengo opened the warehouse door, led Jotaro Kujo and Josuke Higashikata inside, then locked it from the inside, opened the door leading to the office, waved and greeted everyone in the living room, and then invited everyone to come down and play. At the same time, Danju thoughtfully hung a 'Closed' sign outside the office.
"Yuanxiang, what have you been up to lately? It's been a while since you visited the Reunion Movement. Everyone misses you."
Talulah smiled and chatted with the boy, while also taking in the newly renovated warehouse. She had been here before, but this time it was completely different. Meanwhile, Genjo used the power of 'Luna' to help the tall Patriot pass through the rather narrow doorway, casually remarking:
"To be honest, I don't even know what I've been busy with lately. I haven't had much time, but I don't feel like I've accomplished anything. This is probably what they call busywork."
"You're just too busy to think straight."
Froststar was astonished to see her father actually pass through the door. She glanced at the memory in Gensou's hand with surprise, but quickly composed herself and started complaining to Gensou. To be honest, after arriving here and realizing that the Originium on her body had been forcibly silenced, she realized that this world was even more magical than she had imagined.
"Probably. Come, come, sit down. Let me introduce you. This is Jotaro Kujo, and this is Josuke Higashikata, who is also a good friend of mine."
Hearing Gengo's introduction, Jotaro Kujo finally came to his senses and nodded silently in greeting. However, his gaze remained fixed on Patriot. His tall stature was truly incredible. Patriot was also very interested in this seventeen-year-old high school student. At first glance, he noticed the unique aura of the boy.
At the same time, Talulah, who had just sat down, eagerly said to Gensou:
"Yuanxiang, now our Reunion Movement has found a base, a true mobile city-state!"
369. Akiko?
"Mobile city-state?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Except for those who didn't understand, everyone else knew what it meant. In Talulah's special world, most so-called countries were composed of mobile city-states. When an organization possessed its own mobile city-state, it had a certain basis. For Talulah and its people, at least they could escape most of Ursus's pursuit and develop more flexibly.
"You're going to attack the city-states of Ursus? That doesn't make sense; I haven't heard anything about that lately."
Swire asked curiously, which left Chen Huijie speechless, but she also looked at Talulah with a puzzled expression.
"It is a small, abandoned mobile city-state."
The Patriot was the one who answered. This ancient warrior seemed quite pleased as well, raising his hand slightly, but after finding nowhere to lend a hand, he silently lowered it again, his enthusiasm undiminished as he spoke:
"Although it's quite dilapidated, thanks to your support, it's able to keep running to some extent."
"Wait, wait!!"
Upon hearing this, Swire suddenly remembered something and looked at Talulah in surprise, saying:
"So all the recent funds have been used for this. No wonder the expenditure is so staggering. Wait a minute, if it were used to repair the mobile city, this amount of money wouldn't be enough."
"We are very fortunate regarding this issue."
Talulah pursed her lips and said softly:
"Penguin Logistics has collected some leftover city-state parts from Lungmen and is willing to sell them to us at a lower price. Furthermore, if we purchase the entire set at once, they are also willing to send some technicians to help out."
"Dragon Gate..."
"Use the rest..."
"Cough cough!!!"
Upon hearing this, Swire, Chen Huijie, and Hoshiguma all had strange expressions. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it was clear that Wei Yanwu was involved behind the scenes. Yuanxiang's funds and Penguin Logistics' reputation were merely decorations for him. Otherwise, the parts used to repair a small mobile city-state wouldn't have been transported to the Ursus ice plains at such a low price without Wei Yanwu's approval.
"You...are in charge of the money too?"
However, another conflict was quietly brewing. Cang Xuan, sitting to the side, blinked, seemingly realizing something, and squinted at Swire, saying softly:
"Yuanxiang still has industries in Longmen?"
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Based on their previous interactions, Swire knew that Cang Xuan was a shrewd money-grubber. Although she was certain that Cang Xuan wouldn't let Yuanxiang hand over the Longmen's assets to her, they would inevitably clash in terms of economic operations. If Cang Xuan found out that Yuanxiang's assets were losing money under her management, he would probably lecture her while simultaneously teaching her how to make money. This...
That would be even more humiliating than losing to Pink Dragon! How could I, the dignified young lady and heiress of a large conglomerate, possibly lose to others when it comes to making money!
In that instant, the atmosphere between the two smiling girls suddenly froze, and the phantoms of roaring tigers and hissing snakes seemed to appear behind them, and a battle that outsiders could hardly interfere with began.
"Don't worry about my sister."
Danzhu, who was trying to coax Higashikata Josuke with potato chips, anime, and light novels, sighed helplessly and said softly:
"Sometimes I even suspect that if the price is right, she might sell me..."
"Hehehe, it's so good to be young."
Patriot chuckled softly. Since arriving in this world, the Originium within him had subsided, and he felt an unprecedented sense of ease. This allowed his constantly tense mind to relax slightly. He then looked at Jotaro Kujo beside him and said softly:
"Young man, you're quite strong. Have you practiced martial arts or served in the military?"
