Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

“It might have been cancelled,” Chu Zihang glanced at the blinding sunlight outside the window. “It seems something has happened to her too. The reason for the identity swap has not yet been found, and many people who knew them are now completely confused.”

Lu Mingfei was at a loss.

Tokyo, Genji Heavy Industries.

"What were the test results?"

Outside the thick bulletproof glass, Tachibana Masamune silently observed Erii's motionless back view inside.

Since she came back, she has been kneeling and sitting there, her eyes glazed over, doing nothing.

“There are no physical problems, not even any signs of dragonification,” Genji stood beside him, looking at Erii with concern in his eyes. “So far, Erii seems to be doing nothing wrong… except that she’s been acting strangely since she came back.”

Tachibana Masamune nodded: "Let's go in together."

The heavy doors, resembling the gate to a vault, were slammed shut, and Genji walked in with him.

"Eri..."

The two knelt down opposite the girl, and Tachibana Masamune opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

It's ridiculous that they didn't notice the switch for so long, thinking they had everything under control...

In his heart, Tachibana Masamune cursed Natsuki's name a thousand times.

"I'm sorry, there was such a long misunderstanding, I even forgot about you..."

He reached out to stroke Erii's head, but Erii turned her head away, avoiding his hand.

Tachibana Masamune paused, slowly withdrew his hand, and said softly, "Eri, do you still recognize us?"

Erii ignored him, staring blankly at the red umbrella in her hand.

Tachibana Masamune and Genjiro looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chapter 252 Genji's Dilemma

No matter what Tachibana Masamune and Genji Chisei said to Erii, she just stared blankly, as if she hadn't heard a thing.

"Is this your umbrella?"

Tachibana Masamune finally turned his gaze to the red umbrella that Erii was clutching tightly in her hand. Seeing that she didn't react, he tentatively reached out to take it. "I'll put it at the door for you. You can use it when it rains next time you go out."

But just as his hand was about to touch the little red umbrella, Genji suddenly grabbed his hand.

Tachibana Masamune was startled and looked up to see a pair of golden children, their golden light flashing like surging waves, as if they were about to engulf everything.

Erii looked at him indifferently and slowly hugged the umbrella in her arms.

Although he didn't say a word, the meaning was clear... No one is allowed to touch this umbrella!

"Let's leave first."

Tachibana Masamune withdrew his hand and stopped trying to communicate with Erii.

The two left the room, watching the metal door rumble as it closed, and looking at the girl's motionless back through the glass.

"Should we... find out what's going on with Xia Mu?"

Genjiro's expression was somewhat conflicted. "Or should we bring him over? Erii was already quite dependent on him back then."

Rebirth in the Great Era of Surfing Waves

"No, we absolutely cannot let them meet again!" Tachibana Masamune said solemnly. "He has too much influence on Erii. From now on, cut off all contact between them."

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent for a while, then whispered a reminder: "Dad, have you forgotten that they were able to miraculously ignore these protections and get close to each other before..."

Tachibana Masamune: "..."

He had never felt so overwhelmed before.

Since Natsuki appeared, Erii has also become uncontrollable, disappearing without a trace, her identity reversed, and she went to Kassel College...

“Find a way to make Erii break off her relationship with Natsuki herself,” he said in a low voice. “For example, create some misunderstandings, the kind between a man and a woman.”

Genji frowned: "Eri seems fine now. Wouldn't forcibly separating them backfire?"

"Are you alright? You saw what she was like just now, she was about to attack me," said Tachibana Masamune.

Genjiro stared at Erii's retreating figure, feeling a jumble of thoughts swirling in his mind.

"Don't forget what you said before, that Xia Mu was two-timing..."

Tachibana Masamune pressed his temples, looking quite helpless. "Are you really happy to let Erii maintain contact with someone like that?"

Yuan Zhisheng was taken aback, his face gradually turning ugly: "That bastard! Let's just kill him! That'll end it all!"

Tachibana Masamune paused, then said, "That's a good idea..."

Yuan Zhisheng paused for a moment, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

He remembered that day on the rooftop of the Tokyo Dome, when Genjiro launched her revenge against him, and it was Natsuki Shinrai who forced Genjiro to retreat with a single shot.

In this respect, he owed Xia Mu a life.

"His strength is already enough to deal with the First Generation; in a head-on confrontation, you're very likely no match for him..."

Tachibana Masamune rubbed his temples. "Now that I think about it, it seemed normal when I thought Erii did those things, but if it was him... that means he was already no weaker than Erii."

I'm so stressed...

"Let me think about it some more. Killing someone doesn't necessarily mean we have to face them head-on..."

Tachibana Masamune turned and left.

Genjiro looked at his back and for some reason felt that Tachibana Masamune was unusually impatient today, unlike his usual calm demeanor.

"Xiamu..."

He stared blankly at Erii through the glass window, his gaze gradually becoming lost: "What should I do..."

Xia Mu lay in Xia Mi's hut for three more days.

But he couldn't just do nothing like before, because the girl's voice constantly popping into his head reminded him to do various things.

Get up... wash up... eat breakfast... go out to buy groceries... cook lunch...

His life actually became more regular, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

Whether it was an illusion or reality, at least he had something to hold onto at that moment.

However, he also noticed something very strange…

Whenever he mentions "Xia Mi", the voice disappears and doesn't reappear for a long time.

Xia Mu leaned against the headboard alone, the afterglow of the setting sun shining in through the French windows, casting dappled light and shadow on him.

"Did you used to watch the sunset alone like this?" he asked softly.

After a while, a voice came from beside me: "You also listen to music. Your songs are all quite soothing, perfect for listening to at this time."

What song would you like to hear?

"Like smoke".

Xia Mu then began to hum softly.

I sat on the edge of the bed... gazing out the window... memories flooded my mind...

"Life is a magnificent illusion... Time is a thief... Stealing everything..."

The phone rang at this very inopportune moment.

Xia Mu casually pressed the button and continued humming.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again.

Xia Mu then glanced at it and saw that it was a long-distance call from Angers.

"headmaster."

He put it on speakerphone.

"Xia Mu, are you alright?" Angers' calm voice came through.

"Fortunately."

"Regarding this dragon-slaying report, the Gattuso family has provided a completely different account than yours. They submitted a report to the board of directors stating that Caesar accomplished the dragon-slaying feat with the assistance of the Gattuso family..."

Angers paused, giving him time to process the information.

"But don't worry, I soon received a surveillance video... the kind that's been blurred out. It only shows your and Xia Mi's faces, and of course, it also shows the whole process of you slaying the dragon. Plus, Caesar himself denied the report, so the matter was dropped."

“After so much has happened, the other families on the board of directors are already dissatisfied with Gattuso, and the ownership of the Nibelungen Project is basically settled... except for you.”

Angers stopped.

"I give up."

Xia Mu didn't hesitate at all, "Give it directly to Chu Zihang."

“Aren’t you going to reconsider? Although the power you’ve shown so far is already extraordinary, with the Nibelungen Project, there will be no limit to your potential,” Angers said softly.

"You have no limit to your potential."

A voice echoed in my mind.

Xia Mu then said, "I won't consider it."

“Well,” Angers paused, “I’m glad you made this choice, but I’d like to confirm one more thing…”

His voice deepened, "Are you human now? Or a dragon?"

coming.

Xia Mu calmly replied, "To be precise, they are mixed-race."

"You can see dragon scales and dragon wings on your body in the video."

"That was a gift from Xia Mi."

Angers remained silent.

“I’ll drop out of school, Principal,” Xia Mu said.

Angers remained silent.
