Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Ok!"

Ziyin tiptoed, hugged Heiyu Ming's neck, and kissed him on the cheek near the left corner of his mouth. It wasn't a quick touch, but rather a kiss that lingered for about ten seconds before she pulled away.

"Alright...charging complete! Now! I'm off!"

"Oh... Be careful on the road."

Is this what it feels like to have a girlfriend...? It's amazing.

Watching Hei Yuming and Zi Yin's interaction as a couple, Da Hongxiang secretly leaned close to Hei Yuming after Zi Yin turned around and kissed him on the right cheek.

However, she didn't dare to kiss for as long as Ziyin did, since it was a secret kiss behind Ziyin's back, so it had to be quick.

After stealing a kiss, Da Hongxiang grinned, put her index finger to her lips, made a silent "hehe" sound, and then waved her right hand holding the car keys.

"Then Sister and Ziyin will be leaving. Ah Ming, you just stay home and wait for us to come back. I'll cook fish for you when we get back tonight."

"Ah... okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Kuroba Akira touched his cheek where Da Hongxiang had kissed him, his expression still somewhat dazed. He was mentally prepared to be kissed by Ziyin, but to be kissed by Da Hongxiang, especially when Ziyin was nearby... that was incredibly audacious!

If Ziyin accidentally discovers this, the manager and the artist will probably have to break up on the spot!

It seems like Hongjie, like the Takanashi family's Mum pair, is starting to become more radical, right?

Kuroba Akira discovered that after he and the class president crossed that line, his intimacy with other women was also spreading and intensifying rapidly like wildfire...

It felt like it was sped up...

After watching Ziyin and Da Hongxiang leave, Kuroba Akira touched his cheek, which still retained the sensation... a complex feeling welled up inside him.

Because he was kissed when he left Takanashi's house, and Akiko and Mirai each kissed him on one side.

Now back at Kobayashi's house, Kuroba Akira was kissed on one side by Shion and Kurenai respectively...

There was a kiss when I left and a kiss when I came home, but they happened in different homes.

Well, now I've really become a slave to three masters (×) and a traitor to three families (√)...

Okay, they're not slaves yet, and there are only two families involved so far.

However, if we include the class monitor, then it is indeed a three-way standoff.

Takanashi's family is considered Cao Cao's camp, Kobayashi is the base of Kuroba Akira, the Imperial Uncle, so the class president is Sun Shangxiang of the Sun family of Jiangdong.

Wait... why am I using the Three Kingdoms period to analyze my relationships with women...?

Moreover, if he had to say, Kuroba Akira felt that he was more like Dong Zhuo than Liu Bei... after all, he was someone's father now.

After clearing his head from the mess the women had made of him, Kuroba Akira entered Kobayashi's house.

First, he went upstairs to his room, gathered up his newly acquired panties and stockings, then charged his phone. After that, Kuroba Akira left his room to knock on Hijikata Isamu's door.

"Hijikata-san! Are you awake? Nishimura-senpai! Are you inside?"

Kuroba Akira came to see Hijikata Isamu not to discuss matters related to the video website, but to test his abilities.

Inspired by Fuyumi Saotome, Akira Kuroba realized that his abilities had been used incompletely so far.

For Kuroba Akira, the ability to copy is just an extra passive skill; it's not actually that useful.

After all, Kuroba Akira's day only has twenty-four hours. Even with his talent known as the "proficiency accelerator," Kuroba Akira's abilities are limited. At most, he can only reach the top in two or three fields. And this process still requires effort. It's just that he can reach the top faster than others, and the process is easier.

Moreover, he has no desire to work hard at all, so no matter how much talent he has, it's all in vain.

However, if one can replicate or transfer one's genius to others, then the practicality of this ability is much greater.

In short, we have to try it out to find out how it goes.

When it comes to people who lack talent, the first person that Kuroba Akira thinks of is naturally Hijikata Isamu.

Although Uncle Yong lacked talent, his life experience was doubled due to the fusion of his souls from two lifetimes. As a result, he was exceptionally skilled with his left hand, and his stats were all extremely high, making him a stat monster.

Of course, it was precisely because of his strength that he caught the eye of the proud and arrogant Nishimura Ryūya.

Come to think of it, we haven't confirmed Nishimura's talent yet... Although he's a repeat student, he has such advanced computer skills at this age, so he must have some related talent, right?

If Nishimura-senpai is indeed talented, Kuroba Akira could use them as a test subject. Although touching a man's hand is somewhat disgusting, if you explain it to them clearly, they will definitely be willing to cooperate.

However, after knocking on the door for a long time without any response, Kuroba Akira assumed that the two of them had worked all night and were now catching up on sleep, so he simply pushed the door open and went in. He found that only the computer screen was still lit up and running in Hijikata Isamu's room, but the person was nowhere to be seen.

"what?"

Where did those two go? It's unusual for them to be out during the day.

Just as Kuroba Akira was feeling puzzled, he heard Grandma Kobayashi's voice from behind him, speaking in the familiar hometown dialect that Kuroba Akira knew best.

"Stop banging! It's driving me crazy, you brat, you never stop making noise when you get back... Hijikata went to help that guy with the woman's face move. Didn't I tell him a while ago that I'd rent one of my apartments to him?"

"Ah... I see. By the way, old lady, you didn't go to play cards today?"

"Are you treating me like a gambler? I don't gamble every day, you know."

Grandma Lin rolled her eyes and retorted to Xiaobaizi.

"Where did you go gallivanting last night? Without you around, those two girls at home are completely distraught."

"Because of some unexpected events, I spent the night at a friend's house..."

"Isn't this a woman's place?"

Kuroba Akira nodded honestly and admitted that there was no need to hide it from Grandma Kobayashi.

"Yes……"

To Kuroba Akira, Granny Kobayashi was like an old nun in a confessional, someone he could confide in and tell everything, which made him feel much better.

So Kuroba Akira started rambling on about his experiences at Takanashi's house, even sharing his feelings and opinions, saying that his relationship with the two muses had changed somewhat.

After hearing all this, Grandma Lin gave a cold laugh, commenting with a mixture of helplessness and disdain.

"Ha, you're just like me... Compared to my son, you're more like my husband, especially in that philandering thing... tsk."

"It seems Grandpa Kobayashi has made you quite a few times..."

After complaining, when the topic of Granny Kobayashi's son came up, Kuroba Akira naturally thought of the class president's background and took the opportunity to ask him about it.

"By the way, old lady, are you really the class monitor... Hitomi's grandmother?"

"So what?"

"Why didn't you tell me sooner..."

Grandma Lin smiled wickedly and asked in return.

"You never asked me, did you? You never asked me what my granddaughter's name is... I clearly told you I have a granddaughter a long time ago, but you weren't 'interested at all,' right? I'm not getting dementia, am I?"

"..."

Damn it! That old hag is a real entertainer! She knows everything! She just doesn't expose her because she finds it amusing!

Grandma Lin turned around and walked downstairs with her hands behind her back, saying this.

"However, it's not entirely because I want to 'binge-watch the show' that I didn't tell you. I think Xiaotong has already told you about the relationship and current situation between the Kobayashi family and the Anri family."

Kuroba Akira followed behind Granny Kobayashi downstairs, talking as they walked.

"Yes, that's what they said. In short, Old Master Lin's prestige is too high, so high that even his son can't take over his position. And his subordinates don't trust the Anri family, so what should have been a united front is now showing signs of splitting apart?"

Grandma Kobayashi poured herself a cup of tea, then pushed the teapot and cup to Kuroba Akira, letting him pour it for himself. She took a sip herself, exhaled a breath of hot air, and said...

“Phew…that’s right, but the reason why my wife and I’s ‘comrades’ don’t trust the current Anri family is because there are still ‘residual problems’ within the current Anri family.”

She then pointed out the problem.

"The Anri family was once one of the giants of the 'United Zaibatsu,' which is to put it bluntly, a powerful interest group. It was only because my late husband got along very well with the previous head of the Anri family that the Anri family 'defected' to our side. But a deeply entrenched family can't just turn left like that. Internally, they still have the style of a Zaibatsu. Most of them just want to take advantage of my late husband's influence because the power he gathered during his lifetime was a very strong force, strong enough to overthrow the existing order and put forward a new ruler... Do you understand?"

"I see... Dragon slayers prevent themselves from becoming dragons..."

Grandma Kobayashi nodded in satisfaction when she saw that Kuroba Akira had some knowledge, and continued speaking.

“That’s right, so after my wife and the head of the Anri family discussed it, they decided to ‘start from the inside.’”

"Ah! So you're sending your son over to marry into the family?!"

Good heavens, he really is the Dragon King's son-in-law!

"Yes, actually my wife's comrades all approve of my son, but they just put on an act for some people with ulterior motives in Anli's family."

"That father and son were arguing..."

"That's true. My son doesn't agree with this approach, and his ideas are even more extreme than my husband's. After all, he was young back then and didn't leave much room for maneuver in his actions. However, he has become much more mature after starting his own family."

"Wait a minute, they clearly disagreed, but in the end they still married into the family?"

"Didn't Xiaotong tell you? My son has really fallen in love with that woman from the Anri family... Tsk, I really don't know what's so good about that woman..."

When the class monitor's mother was mentioned, Grandma Lin frowned, revealing her dissatisfaction.

Well, it seems the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is indeed strained.

"However, I heard that Hui's personality has changed a lot since she had her second child, Xiaotong's younger sister Xiaojing. But I've only seen her a handful of times, so I don't know if she's really changed or if she's just pretending... After all, women are very good at acting, especially the women in Anri's family, they're all drama queens!"

Indeed, the class monitor is quite skilled at acting...

You could say that the environment shapes a person.

After learning the inside story from another perspective, Kuroba Akira pointed to his nose and asked.

"So, choosing me as the successor is just nonsense?"

"Nonsense! Even if you and my husband are from the same hometown, how could he possibly entrust his life's work to a complete stranger, someone whose personality he doesn't even know?"

"Phew...that's so true."

That's right, we should be realistic and not pin our hopes on unrealistic things.

Kuroba Akira also breathed a sigh of relief. If he were to inherit Old Master Lin's great cause, he would feel it was a hot potato, because he would be forced to abandon it.

Besides, I'm not cut out for that kind of thing.

Let Uncle Anli, who is the Dragon King's son-in-law, handle this matter.

After discussing the Anri family and the Kobayashi family, Kuroba Akira wanted to ask Kobayashi's grandmother something even more important.

That is... the matter of gods and their agents.

"By the way, old woman, do you know about the existence of God?"
