I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

In the pitch-black night, Naito finally made his move, thrusting his sword into the gaps in his opponent's armor to cripple his fighting ability!

However, in that decisive thrust, the armored warrior grasped the blade!

Naito sneered, thinking this approach was too stupid. Even with the gauntlets protecting him, he could easily dislocate all five of his opponent's fingers with a powerful slash.

However, when Naito tried to use a little force to make his opponent suffer, he found that he couldn't move the knife at all.

Opposite him, the burly Oni warrior had his weapon restrained with a single hand. Blood flowed continuously from Oni Armor's hand, but then Naito saw the other man step forward, suddenly discard the decorative aluminum blade, and clench his left hand tightly.

A swift, powerful, and earth-shattering punch sent Chief Steward Naito flying!

Naito collapsed on the ground a few meters away, covered in mud, and instantly fainted.

The courtyard was finally devoid of life.

The internal strife within the Ashikawa group has ended.

Everything was for the sake of new life, for his shop, and for his principles in life.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

The warrior in red armor stood under the vast night sky, like a statue—powerful, mad, and righteous.

Like a dream, all the girls witnessed a real-life Kyoto samurai Taiga drama.

"Well done, sir!!"

"Just beat him up like that!"

"Mr. Sanada Yukimura is so handsome!"

Suddenly, Li Xuan heard an unexpected sound.

He turned his head abruptly and saw a group of girls soaking in a bath through an open wooden window not far away. It was a spectacular sight of a group of fragrant, clearly naked, and innocent seventeen-year-old girls.

This scene was a nightmare.

Dozens of girls seemed extremely pleased that the store's prized samurai had taught the group that had bullied them a lesson, and they cheered for the armored figure.

The Ghost Armor stood motionless, at a loss.

But soon, Shiori Sagamiya, who was in the bathroom, spoke up: "Everyone, actually, this is also one of our establishment's programs. Anyone who openly or secretly bullies a guest will be punished. This high-level samurai fighting can only be seen here occasionally in all of Japan. Even Kyoto can't compare. Everyone must keep this in mind."

This shop has finally developed its own unique characteristics.

Shiori Hebi thought to herself.

This explanation completely dispelled the negative reputation caused by the opposing gangsters, and even highlighted the store's selling points.

The students of Qizhiyu Girls' Middle School then realized that it was a performance, but the scene in front of them was so realistic that it was hard to believe. The fight was so visually appealing, and the feeling of every punch landing was so real that the atmosphere of the battle was still unforgettable.

For hardcore enthusiasts like those who are "otaku" or "chuunibyou," it's enough to keep them excited all night.

As expected of Heron Palace, Li Xuan glanced at Heron Palace Shiori, and the girl who revealed her soft shoulders and collarbone also glanced at him, silently nodding with a calm expression.

Li Xuan grabbed the unconscious Naito and bowed in thanks with him, but Naito's lifeless movements suggested he was truly unconscious. The Ghost Armor then tossed him over, tidied up the area, climbed over the wall, and disappeared completely from the students' sight.

It's great that no riots broke out.

Li Xuan, dragging Naito Tatsuhiko along, thought to himself.

However, in the alley, Li Xuan discovered that another figure had appeared in front of him.

It seems that the young master, Baba, has been waiting for this for a long time.

In the deserted alleyways of the countryside, the shadows of rice paddies danced in the wind.

"..."

Baba looked at him, at that unrecognizable figure clad in armor.

"Hand him over to me." He stepped forward without his men or weapons and said to him.

Li Xuan was taken aback and did not respond.

“Don’t worry, I don’t know who you are.” Baba looked at him quietly and said, “The fault is on our side, and I won’t pursue this matter. Rather, you shouldn’t dwell on it anymore.”

Baba Kiyoshi's words seemed to be addressed specifically to Li Xuan.

A cold mountain wind, long mountain shadows, and a black flag fluttering in the wind.

Kiyoshi Baba borrowed Tatsuhiko Naito from the samurai, without being bothered by the mud on his body.

His white clothes were stained with blood and mud. Baba Kiyoshi was incredibly strong; he could lift the weight of an adult with one hand.

"This store is really good."

Baba said with a smile.

“You know what? I’m in favor of a fight. Naito’s weakness is that he’s a bit too assertive, but he’s a brother worth entrusting your back to. Power struggles have always involved bloodshed… so let’s not be shy this time. However, my two brothers probably wouldn’t go so far as to kill each other. I’m just here to mediate. Now that we’ve soaked in the hot springs, the mediation seems to be over, and Naito’s spirit has been dampened.”

Baba Kiyoshi seemed to have accomplished something, and breathed a sigh of relief before speaking to the man in red armor.

His obese body moved slowly, leading Naito back to the car at the end of the alley.

"Everyone is lonely, everyone lives irrationally. We are not perfect people, everyone has their own thoughts and positions, and what they pursue. What I pursue is power, and I will not be polite to those who stand in my way. However, I am not rational either, and I can also act on emotion."

Baba Kiyoshi didn't even glance at the armored man, talking to himself as if he wanted to say something at the alley entrance.

"You also have a fatal problem. You feel great now and are very kind to many people, but have you ever thought about it? What you want is to return to a normal life and be a person in the light. But when others accept your kindness, is it really as you expect, or is it just according to your ideas? Everyone has a different perspective on everything, stranger."

Kiyoshi Baba concluded, "If you want it to end, you have to give up a part of yourself, even if it means losing a piece of your soul, giving up a part of your life, and swearing never to come back. That way, you can be worthy of everyone. I will no longer blame you... and you don't need to blame yourself anymore. This is also what Father wanted."

Kiyoshi Baba and Tatsuhiko Naito disappeared into the alley.

In the desolate countryside, Li Xuan stood alone.

Li Xuan felt extremely cold.

It was Baba who harmed him, but it was also Baba who made him successful and desperately tried to save him.

The slow disengagement from the organization has entered a substantial phase.

However, Li Xuan did not want to escape, but rather to part ways.

He was determined not to let his life down, but when he heard the other person's forgiveness, he felt no joy at all. Standing alone in the field, he looked like a scarecrow, dejected and lifeless.

This is the only extreme way in the world.

That's why the unique Ashikawa War Demon was created...

Life is ever-changing, and human relationships are complex.

※※※※

The following day, Watanabe Junior High School.

When school was over, Li Xuan came to pick up Nitta Hina alone.

He realized he hadn't taken good care of the girl for a long time. He had just finished his work yesterday and happened to be passing by this area this afternoon, so he walked over.

As autumn leaves fell, Li Xuan stood patiently in the autumn-colored street, waiting.

——【Don't be kind to others in a way that doesn't really matter...】

He recalled the young master's warning. Was it? He felt he had already maintained a considerable distance and had done only what was appropriate.

So far, apart from the accidental confession with Miss Yukinoshita, all the other interactions have been purely casual. It's fortunate that these kinds of inappropriate interactions within the yakuza community have been resolved peacefully so far.

After waiting for a long time at the school gate, Xiaochu finally came out with her friends.

These junior high school students looked significantly younger than high school students. Li Xuan felt that he had a deep-seated karmic connection with Japanese high school students who had many troubles during their youth, and he figured there wouldn't be any problems with these newly sprouted youngsters.

As a result, when Nitta Hina saw Li Xuan, she suddenly reached out to greet him, deliberately drawing out her voice as she called out, "Good afternoon, Onii-chan~~~!"

Li Xuan got goosebumps from listening to this.

It was supposed to be a cute way of addressing her, but Xiaochu didn't suit that style at all. Her lazy tone sounded like she was still half asleep, which was too incongruous, especially with so many junior high school students around.

Li Xuan sighed, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Why are you suddenly calling me that? Didn't you always call me Ah Xuan without any respect? Who taught you to do that?"

Seeing that Li Xuan remained unmoved, Xiao Chu asked, "You didn't react at all. Is my sister's power really insufficient?"

However, a voice came from behind Hina and the others.

"Onii-chan, you can't be so cold. When your little sister calls you, you should respond properly before you complain, whether you feel it's cheesy or not."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment when another girl called him "Onii-chan," which caught him off guard this time, and he looked over in confusion.

Behind Hina, Komachi peeked out and smiled at her neglectful older brother who hadn't paid attention to his sister for so long.

Chapter 111 A Creature Resembling an Older Brother (4k)

The deep veil of the sky began to fade, and a faint purple mist rose. The weather grew colder, and more passersby began to wear long sleeves.

Walking along the street lined with shops on both sides, Li Xuan took out his money and bought meat buns for the girls.

Even though the kids in this country have a lot of pocket money, they all live quite restrained lives. Two girls, one in the first year of junior high and one in the third year, were holding hot Chinese meat buns in their hands. Their fair cheeks were slightly flushed, and they were eating with a festive expression. Li Xuan thought it was too exaggerated.

Li Xuan took a bite himself; it was just an ordinary frozen meat bun.

However, it seems that no one in Japan eats while walking. The three of them stood outside the store, holding wrappers, and ate with a group of students.

This adorable third-year junior high school girl is named Komachi Hikigaya. She is a third-year junior high school girl he met at Kohina School. She is cute, cheerful, and has an incredibly lively personality.

"It gives me a feeling of Japanese zashiki-warashi (a type of Japanese house spirit)."

While eating a meat bun, Li Xuan glanced at the girl he hadn't seen for a month and thought to himself.

"Is there something on my face?"

Hikigaya Komachi noticed the older brother's gaze and asked.

Li Xuan was taken aback and denied it, saying, "No, no, it's just that I haven't seen you in a while, so I wanted to see how you've been lately."

"Hehe, needless to say, of course—I'm not doing very well."

Hikigaya Komachi immediately revealed an arrogant smile, but later, raising her voice to its highest level, she described her situation in a very dejected tone.

Li Xuan asked with concern, "What happened?"

"Nothing happened. The soon-to-be graduates have to prepare for their college entrance exams. No one would say they're doing well."

Hikigaya Komachi deliberately put on a tired expression and said to Li Xuan.

That's true. The entrance exams in Japan are not easy either, with cram schools everywhere. However, Li Xuan thinks the exam content is easier than what he experienced.
