Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

If you stay up late again, your sleep and sleep routine will probably be completely ruined.

So I take a leave

44. Conservation of Luck and Cat Cart (Two-in-One)

"Ms. Toyokawa, do you believe in the law of conservation of luck?"

"Luck is conserved?"

As the mad dragon virus drained from her body, some of its positive effects—such as the aftereffects of "hyperactivity"—were disappearing. The price of her late nights writing the script began to fall automatically, and Toyokawa Shoko, strapped to the operating table, felt a little drowsy.

Hearing the "doctor" next to her suddenly talking to her, she had to cheer up.

"If a person is proud of something now, he will be disappointed in another place in the future. Generally speaking, no one will be able to have smooth sailing forever." Looking at the crystal in his hand, which has properties closer to the Black Eclipse Dragon than the Sky Dragon, the Silver Dragon Belmont said slowly.

"It's like a game where one person always wins, which is incredibly boring. Perhaps some viewers would like to witness the birth of a legend who wins from start to finish, but the planners behind the scenes must weaken the current version's strong characters, giving the weaker characters a chance to appear, so that the overall situation remains roughly balanced."

"Ms. Toyokawa, do you feel you are 'lucky' or 'unlucky' right now?"

After throwing this question to Toyokawa Shoko, she untied the restraints on the operating table and threw the purple-black crystal to the girl.

The chill that touched the depths of the soul spread from the surface of the crystal, making Toyokawa Shoko feel as if she had returned to the scene when she fell into the darkness.

——"Take it, you will need it in the future."

Hearing the suggestive words coming from the front, she couldn't help but wonder why the other party had given this thing to her. Adding to what Gu Long had just said... was there something else waiting for her?

Shoko Toyokawa suddenly remembered what happened when Wakaba Mu found her yesterday.

After learning that she was looking for a guitarist, Mu took the initiative to find her, hoping to join her band Erjuling彡把奇音?III.

Toyokawa Shoko's impression was that Wakaba Mujica was a very good guitarist. If she could join Ave Mujica, it would be a good thing.

However, she did not directly agree to Ruoye Mu's request.

As a friend who grew up with her, Toyokawa Shoko is well aware of Wakaba Mutsu's resistance to the camera.

If Ave Mujica succeeds as a commercial band, there will undoubtedly be a lot of interviews and commercial activities in the future. As the child of a popular artist, Wakaba Mutsu will undoubtedly face considerable pressure.

Unaware of whether Wakaba Mu's decision was well-considered, Toyokawa Shoko was unable to agree immediately. Another reason for her reservations was the contract she had drawn up with Belmont.

One of the many conditions in that contract was that the band members' choices had to be tested by each other.

She was not clear about the criteria for the test.

In addition, the bassist of [Ave Mujica], a girl named "Yahata Kaisuzu", was declared qualified without even demonstrating her bass skills. She could only attribute the criteria to completely subjective reasons such as "whether it looks good or not".

When it was Ruoye Mu's turn, the development of the matter once again exceeded her expectations.

This time, Belmont actually listened patiently to Wakaba Mu's performance.

Shoko Toyokawa has seen the expressions of those who are obsessed with music when they hear beautiful melodies. Even though ancient dragons are different from humans, those with intellectual stature should have something in common in this regard.

But she hadn't seen any trace of music on Belmont's face. Music seemed to be just a foil in her eyes. What really made her decision was something that Toyokawa Shoko had no way of knowing.

In the end, Wakaba Mujica still joined Ave Mujica.

Witnessing her making the choice, Toyokawa Shoko did not feel at ease.

Now uneasiness surged in her heart, and she began to doubt whether her deal with Gu Long was right.

She didn't hesitate for too long, as the sound of a blade being unsheathed suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

She was terrified and looked up quickly to see that Belmont, who was wearing a white coat and suit before, had changed into a suit of armor that fit her body curves.

Her high-heeled boots stepped on the ground, and her bright silver thin-bladed cavalry sword was perpendicular to the side of her skirt armor. A happy smile was on her face, like a person who had been hungry for a long time sitting at a banquet filled with dishes.

Ignoring the human behind her, she walked out of the laboratory holding the long knife.

She bought the original office building and converted the top floor into her own private space.

Just across the wall from the laboratory is Belmont's specially converted training ground.

Past friendship alone wasn't enough to get her to step in and resolve the issues surrounding Gu Long. She had always been known for her meticulous approach to every matter, and now it was time for her to collect the price.

"Let her personally examine someone's current physical condition"—this was her condition. As for the method of examination, it was naturally a symphony of blood and iron.

As if she smelled the blood that was about to overflow, she licked her lips in anticipation.

When she arrived at the training ground, she saw Ritsu Narose standing there quietly waiting with a bucket of gardening tools.

Great, now onto…

"..."

"What are you holding in your hand?" The blood that was about to boil calmed down again, and Belmont looked at Ritsu Narose with a cold face.

"Gardening tools," explained Ritsu Narushe, lifting the small bucket in his hand. "I was just planting seeds outside and haven't had time to go home yet."

"Where did the person next to you come from?" She looked down at the white-haired girl hiding behind Naruse Ritsu, her expression gradually becoming strange. "Listen carefully, although you are still considered a 'minor' according to the ancient dragon's age classification, this does not mean that you are subject to the classification standards of humans..."

"I know."

Belmont's face froze, like a surgeon discovering his workplace had been transformed into a psychiatric department. Glancing at Naruse Ritsu again, she decided to respect the fate of others.

In the future, when you stab someone with your oversized dragon spear and cause them to bleed profusely, don't come to me for surgery.

Cursing silently in her heart, she put away her long sword and clenched her fists in front of her chest instead: "Do you think you can win this time?"

"You will win - although I really want to say that, I estimate the probability of my winning is about 30%, and that's if you are careless." Transforming into a defeatist strategist, Ritsu Narose analyzed seriously.

Having seen Jue Yinlong's fighting style before, he knew very well that in terms of physical explosiveness, he was far inferior to her almost teleporting performance, and his close combat skills were even worse than that of this adult and experienced ancient dragon.

In terms of pure melee combat skills, among the ancient dragons he knew, perhaps only the battle-hardened Mie Miezi could compete with her, and whether she could win was another matter.

After handing the gardening tools in his hand to Yao Lena who had followed him here, he prepared to face this melee instructor whom he had not seen for a long time.

A moment later, two crimson figures flashed in this space, emitting the dull sound of fists colliding with flesh...

...Qi ⊙ Lu Ba Qi weeps

In the laboratory next to them, Kaname Rakuna was staring at Toyokawa Shoko quietly.

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Toyokawa Shoko had to turn her back and focus her attention on her cell phone.

However, that hairy feeling still did not go away.

Raising her head slightly, she saw the white-haired girl in Hanasakigawa's uniform staring at her with a strange look.

Like a wild cat guarding its food...

This thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and Toyokawa Shoko immediately shook her head, throwing this rude speculation out of her mind.

——"A troublesome woman."

"Eh?"

Hearing such a strange comment coming from the girl's mouth, Toyokawa Shoko blinked in confusion.

Is she talking about me?

Slightly angry, but not so angry as to argue with her, Toyokawa Shoko was about to ask the girl why she said that when she saw her turn around and stare blankly at the wall, holding the bucket of tools.

What are you doing?

Wu<6=Leng Er弍肆Baba couldn't understand what she did, but it was a good thing that she was no longer staring at herself.

Taking out her phone again, she began to ask about Mikado Hatsuka's schedule so that she could arrange a meeting between her and Belmonte, while preparing to find the last piece of the puzzle that made up [Ave Mujica].

As long as everything goes well, Ave Mujica will be born soon.

By then, she could proudly prove that she was not a mediocre person who would achieve nothing after leaving the family.

Only then would she have the confidence to tell Ritsu Naruse that she was worthy of his efforts—and while the atmosphere was right, she could repeat the confession scene that she had made before, which was not perfect in her eyes...

……

Seeing the Tianhui Dragon being hit and embedded into the wall by her, Jue Yinlong's desire was finally satisfied.

With a wicked smile on her face, she picked him off the wall and said slowly in a tone of someone who was just looking for fun, "While I'm in a good mood, I'll give you another piece of friendly news."

"what?"

"I've already told everyone about you installing a locator on your lover."

"Locater?" With a frown, Naruse Ritsu denied it out of habit, "How could I possibly do that—"

He suddenly fell silent, and it took him a while to reconnect to the voice channel.

"Who knows?"

"Hachiman Kairin."

The problem is not big.

Hearing this name, Ritsu Narose immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on his understanding of Hachiman Kailing, even if she knew about this, she would most likely come to him to confirm the authenticity of the matter first... but it is more likely that she would check it herself directly.

——"It seems that you have placed locators on more than one person?"

"That's right!"

The matter has been exposed, so Ritsu Narose simply admitted it openly.

While brushing off the debris and dust on his body, he jumped down from the human-shaped hole in the wall. Seeing that he did not hide his perverted behavior, Belmont lost interest in taking advantage of the opportunity to threaten him.

In the laboratory, Shoko Toyokawa, who was still racking her brains to find the drummer, happened to see Ritsu Narose appear at the door.

She smiled subconsciously and was about to say something, but she saw the girl who was squatting on the side walked over quickly and stood next to him naturally at a very close distance.

"Is this your sister?" After thinking for a moment, Shoko Toyokawa quickly came up with a relatively reasonable guess.

"No," unable to understand how she came up with this idea, Naruse Ritsu looked down at the petite figure beside him, "Besides, I don't look like Lena at all, do I?"

Realizing that Shoko Toyokawa seemed to have misunderstood something, he took the opportunity to introduce Kaname Rakuna's identity.

After he mentioned that Le Na was the guitarist of Takamatsu Tomo's band, a memory that had been sealed by Toyokawa Shoko suddenly loosened. Soon, the short guitarist in his memory gradually overlapped with the girl in front of him.

Thinking of the song that sounded in her ears without any warning that day, the girl's pretty face instantly twisted, as if she had eaten a mustard-flavored rice cake.

"How do you feel, Xiangzi? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm not sure what to do now—"

Before she could finish her words, the ringing of a cell phone suddenly came from her handbag, interrupting her actions.

"Xiangzi is very busy now..." Unable to help but sigh, Naruse Ritsu immediately waved goodbye, "I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Eh?"

Holding her phone, Toyokawa Shoko watched blankly as Naruse Ritsu disappeared through the doorway. Behind him, Kaname Rakuna walked briskly, joining him as he left.

——"Tsk tsk tsk~"

As the two men disappeared, another annoying smacking sound came from the door.

Seeing Belmont pretending to sigh, Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath and tried not to express any dissatisfaction.

"It seems that you love your career more than the people who love you, Ms. Toyokawa."

“…I’m not that kind of person.”

After a moment's silence, Shoko Toyokawa finally squeezed out these words.

"Really?" Belmont stood at the doorway, looking at the empty elevator not far away. A smile that showed he was happy to see something happen appeared on his face. "Ms. Toyokawa, you have to understand that the affection a person can pour out towards others is limited. If you continue to be so reserved, I'm afraid you won't even get a sip of soup, let alone meat."

"..."

"You're not going to refute it? I've heard that some humans like to use the excuse of 'focusing on work' to numb themselves, as if that's how they can escape reality..."

Still no response, Toyokawa Shoko answered her vibrating phone and started chatting with Sanjiao Chuhua, who had received the "interview" message on the other end...

……

Leaving the ordinary-looking building, Ritsu Narushe saw Kaname Rakuna climbing into his cart filled with gardening tools.

She sat there curled up with her hands on her knees, looking very well-behaved.
