I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

The second one is a Japanese-style hotel.

As soon as Isshiki Iroha, a minor, entered the tavern, she immediately smelled the aroma of sake.

This is an area that only adults can enter.

"Sir, do you drink alcohol?"

After carefully examining the various wines on the shelf, Isshiki Hatake asked a question out of curiosity.

"I don't drink much," Li Xuan replied without hesitation.

"Oh, I see..."

Isshiki nodded, casually remarking as she admired the various sakes.

"So, what about the drinks at the nightclub? I heard they have some really strong Western liquors, which might be helpful." Iroha Isshiki looked up at the rows of liquor counters that resembled those in a bar and suddenly asked.

"Nightclub drinks? I've never been to one. They're expensive, noisy, and dangerous. I don't know much about alcohol."

When Li Xuan heard that Yi Se wanted him, an adult, to be a reference, he lacked confidence and replied...

Iroha Isshiki's expression changed visibly upon hearing this.

"What's wrong?" Li Xuan looked at her with a puzzled expression when he heard that she had stopped moving.

Isshiki turned her gaze back to the liquor cabinet, her profile calm with a hint of a smile, and replied, "Nothing, there's nothing there."

In the end, I bought some popular sake and packaged it up.

Along the street, Iroha kept inviting Li Xuan to visit this shop and that shop, but he didn't buy anything afterwards.

Soon, Yise beckoned Li Xuan to a shop at the back of the street.

A small doll shop.

Li Xuan felt that this kind of shop was completely out of line with his team leader's preferences.

“Mr. Gangster, look, this doll looks a lot like you.”

— [Hand over the debt!]

Isshiki Iroha picked up a small doll and, once again, imitated Li Xuan's tone, just like in a doll stage play.

Li Xuan's face tightened, but he could only watch helplessly as she imitated him.

Li Xuan looked at Isshiki, who was standing to the side with great interest. He also noticed that after several encounters, Isshiki seemed to no longer be afraid of him.

It should be said that... she was completely relaxed today, as if this were her home turf.

Li Xuan wondered what was going on... Was she no longer afraid of the Extreme Path?

After strolling around for about forty minutes, having walked the entire street once, Li Xuan only had two boxes of pastries and a bottle of wine in his hands.

"In the end, I only bought such a simple gift," Li Xuan said, glancing at it with a troubled expression.

Isshiki Hachiman explained with a smile, "Sir, this gift is enough for him."

“I always felt that you were too picky about gifts because you respected him too much. But didn’t you say earlier that the old man took good care of you and asked that you not give expensive gifts? He would be happy with any gift, as long as it was chosen with care? I said from the beginning that not being unexpected does not mean it is unsuitable. The most important thing is the thought behind the gift.”

"..." Upon hearing this, Li Xuan seemed to regain some clarity of mind.

It can be said that those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly...

Li Xuan placed too much importance on this protective feeling from his elders, and ended up getting a little stuck in his own thoughts.

"By the way, Isshiki, what are you doing here?" Li Xuan hadn't forgotten this question and asked again.

"!!" Iroha Isshiki was slightly startled. She had thought the other party had forgotten about it, but it was suddenly brought up again.

"This...it's a complicated story, where should I even begin? Hehehe..."

She immediately pretended to be thinking, showing a troubled expression as if she had amnesia, trying to stop Li Xuan from asking any more questions.

Li Xuan had already guessed most of it. He pointed to two girls by the roadside and asked, "Are they your friends?"

Isshiki Iroha was slightly taken aback, and then looked over, where she saw Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina hurriedly hiding.

She sighed helplessly, unsure how to explain her relationship with the two senior students.

Upon seeing Miura Yumiko and the others, Isshiki's dejected state vanished like a punctured balloon. He explained in a low voice, "...I suddenly remembered. Actually, it was quite by chance that I came here on a short trip with the soccer club and bumped into you, Mr. Yakuza. That's how it is."

Li Xuan stared at her silently for a while. He glanced again at the two figures hiding by the roadside and realized that the three of them were not friends. Itsuki hadn't lied to him, using the "soccer club" to explain the situation, indicating that they were only casual acquaintances.

He didn't ask any more questions, and looked at Ise, saying, "Then I hope you and your fellow travelers have a great time."

"However, I'm not sure if our activities will cross paths again. Just to be on the safe side, even if you do run into me, don't go over to my side. I don't mean anything by it, but student club activities and yakuza travel are completely different worlds. To avoid any complications, you need to keep a close eye on your classmates. The two sides are like oil and water, and absolutely cannot be allowed to cross paths, do you understand?"

Li Xuan had a premonition, so he reminded Isshiki Yu of this announcement in advance.

On one side are high school students who only care about studying, friends, and their first love.

On the other side, however, was a legitimate yakuza group.

After hearing this, Isshiki Hatake was already used to it. She then gave Li Xuan a salute and said, "Yes, I understand, but there shouldn't be any problem."

Just then, a childish girl's voice rang out: "Ah Xuan, why have you been gone for so long? I'm so bored waiting."

How did you get out?

Li Xuan turned his head and asked in surprise.

Yi Se was slightly taken aback when she saw a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old standing behind Li Xuan.

"Ah, what an adorable child!" Isshiki exclaimed in surprise.

Nitta Hina noticed the stranger and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Xuan glanced at Yi Se and introduced her, "She...she is my younger sister, Chu."

When Nitta Hina heard Li Xuan introduce her to others as his sister once again, she felt an indescribable sense of emotion.

Isshiki was somewhat surprised; this girl was actually his sister!

But upon closer inspection, she realized the two people didn't look alike at all.

"Hello, my name is Isshiki, Isshiki Iroha." Isshiki Iroha introduced herself with a smile.

"Hello," Nitta Hinata said expressionlessly.

"Alright, Ah Xuan, let's hurry over there. A lot of people have been asking me where you've been," Nitta Hina said, grabbing Li Xuan's clothes with one hand.

Li Xuan knew it was almost time. He glanced at Yi Se and said, "Then, take good care of yourself on your journey."

"Mmm." Isshiki nodded, waved to them, and said, "Then bye-bye."

Li Xuan turned around and hurried to the banquet, extending his hand to say goodbye, but he held Nitta Hina's hand with one hand, as if he remembered something.

"Thank you for today, Isshiki."

"..." Isshiki was stunned for a moment.

In the end, Isshiki smiled at Li Xuan.

It's a genuinely happy smile.

The unfamiliar streets of the small town were filled with a kind of yakuza atmosphere... that's what makes it less boring.

※※※※※

Li Xuan's gift surprisingly received praise from the team leader.

"Finally, I've received some decent gifts." The old man sat in his seat, looking at the expressionless young master and his group of officials, as well as the piles of armor, black kimonos, and samurai swords, and asked in confusion, "So how did you all come to the conclusion that I would like these strange and unusual things?"

During the cadres' dinner, the old man seemed to have a special fondness for the most outgoing child, Hina Nitta, and showered her with affection. He was basically the one who coaxed this impolite little girl who even took his gifts to eat.

As dusk fell, the young master, Maba Sei, calmly summoned Li Xuan and several employees.

"Young Master, do you need us for something?" Li Xuan and the others came out and asked.

Baba Kiyoshi looked at Li Xuan through the reflection in his glasses and said, "I have something I need to take care of, and you and a few others will have to help me with it."

Li Xuan asked, puzzled, "What is it? Is it urgent?"

Without making a sound, Maba Kiyoshi opened the trunk of the Crown, which had a slightly dented front, to show Li Xuan and the others.

A strong smell of blood immediately filled the air.

Upon seeing this, the group of people's expressions changed drastically.

"Let's bury it together tonight."

Kiyoshi Baba spoke to them with a gloomy expression.

At 5:20, at the Zongwu High School soccer club.

"Everyone!" Tobu Sho pushed open the sliding door and announced to the group of students who had just returned from their hike, "Breaking news! Great news!"

"Phew, hurry up and tell me what the news is?"

Yumiko Miura, already used to this man's dramatic behavior, asked.

"I just received information from the locals that this area... can get really scary on summer nights. Students from several nearby schools often go on thrilling adventures in a certain spot."

Hubu Xiang said with great enthusiasm, "Everyone, you must participate in the [Summer Mountain-Saw Test of Courage] tonight!"

Student groups and yakuza groups, during their short vacations, have all begun their own classic "entertainment programs"...

Chapter 024 Extraneous Club Activities

As darkness fell completely, the forest of Buddha statues on Mount Saw became utterly silent at night. The seaside town was brightly lit, but the forest and Tokyo Bay were pitch black.

The sea breeze whistled through the empty streets...

A group of yakuza men, carrying shovels, flashlights, and snack bags, set off, covered in dust from their journey.

From left to right, they appeared ferocious and vicious in the murky night.

"Alright, everyone get in the car," Baba Kiyoshi said to them.

Even though Li Xuan was already in the car preparing, his gaze still unconsciously drifted towards the hotel.

"What's wrong? Didn't you explain the trip to your sister properly?"

Young Master Baba Kiyoshi looked at him and asked.

Li Xuan glanced at the young master and said, "Yes, she promised to wait for me to come back."
