Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

So-called "common sense" may seem deeply ingrained, but it can also be easily shaken. Once you accept the fact that "passing through this door will lead you to another world," it becomes less surprising to find that you can't understand the meaning of a pattern when you look at it, but you can somehow understand its meaning when you see it written down.

"If this door could be opened freely, our Nascita would make a fortune just from this service."

Zhe Li's tone was slightly regretful.

Wherever you go, you can understand the local language and read the local text without any constraints. Even if it connects not to another world but to an ordinary foreign country, it is magical enough.

For example, if you want to study abroad in the UK, you can connect to this cafe. Not only can you save on air tickets and accommodation costs and prevent acclimatization problems, but you can also learn a foreign language and live a normal life just like in your hometown. It's not too outrageous.

From this perspective, is it theoretically possible for Zeli's only beloved disciple, Hiiragi Chinana, to study in Japan?

Zheli looked at Chinanai. Chinanai was lost in thought because she didn't quite understand what Xiangzi and the others were discussing. When she noticed Zheli's gaze, she gave him a questioning look.

Zheli smiled at her and received a bright smile in response.

...After all, she is the second daughter of the Hiiragi family. It is a bit too suspicious to suddenly kidnap someone to a "foreign country".

Let’s observe it later.

●

A group of little girls and their guardians chattered as they headed towards Hanamizaka.

Yaedo Hall is located next to the long steps leading from Hanamizaka to Tenryo.

Far away from the noisy sky, it is like dancing cherry blossoms, carried to the ground by the settling wind, until the fallen cherry blossoms lightly cover the stone steps, and are finely ground into powder by the footsteps of passers-by, and their voices are also brought back to the quiet streets.

From this perspective, although Yaedo seems to be located in a busy city, it is actually a quiet place in the bustling city, which is very suitable for customers to stay in the store and read books quietly.

But there is obviously a significant disadvantage...

"Bang------!!"

“…Wow?!”

The girls screamed in surprise at the explosion not far away.

Zhe Li had already stood in front of them, blocking the strong wind that was sweeping over them, leaving them with only a broad back and the hem of his clothes blown by the wind.

The man tilted his head.

What's going on? Inazuma Castle isn't peaceful today.

"What, what happened?" Qiannai hid behind Zheli and stuck out half of her head to look forward.

The street where Yaedo stood wasn't particularly wide, but even with the buildings across the street obscuring it, one could still see smoke rising from the distant sky. With such a commotion in the city, the Tenryo Bugyo and the Fire Brigade were undoubtedly about to make their appearance. Unlike in the past, during the festival, the Tenryo Bugyo were far more active than usual.

Zhe Li pricked up his ears, "Someone is arguing."

The sound should have come from somewhere in Tenryo, near Hanamizaka, where the group had just come down.

Zhe Li turned his gaze towards the road he came from. Not long after, a young man with slightly torn clothes and a disheveled figure appeared from the corner, followed by a group of soldiers with spears.

"It's the criminal who was arrested earlier." Xiangzi said in surprise.

Is that resisting arrest? Zhe Li glanced at the man: there was a red light on his waist, which was the divine eye of the fire element. It must have been he who caused the explosion just now.

As a caring citizen, at this time, I should take action to stop the criminal who resisted arrest on behalf of Tianling Fengxing... However, with the incident at Xiaogong before, Zheli is not sure whether this time is also a sting operation by Tianling Fengxing as before.

He thought about it, opened his arms to protect the girls behind him, and made way.

He decided not to help either side.

The young man who was in a panic showed a surprised expression and was about to pass by a few people and escape into the distance.

and.

“——————.”

————Sense of presence.

“……?” Zhe Li was stunned for a moment and turned around.

A tall woman in a shrine maiden's attire slowly walked out of Yaedo, and the clerk at the counter looked surprised.

But compared to these obvious appearances, Zhe Li cares more about the "sense of presence" that gradually increases with the woman's steps.

It can be described as "momentum" or "combat effectiveness".

——You can tell at a glance that he is “not easy to mess with”.

"Oh my, oh my, who is making such a noise in front of me?"

Like a god sitting high in the temple, overlooking all living beings, the woman with her hands folded in front of her chest only glanced at Zhe Li, then cast her cold eyes at the fleeing young man and his followers who were chasing him - at this moment they all stopped in a daze.

Even the girls who hadn't quite grasped the situation fell silent, as if overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

But a very inappropriate thought echoed in Zheli's mind——

I'm super, Sakura Ayane!

PS. No, your mom, how can you sleep when the indoor temperature is 15 degrees?

Chapter 91: Dangerous Journey

"Palace, Palace Master!?"

Before the young man could react, the followers chasing after him called out the name of the person who came.

"Palace Chief." Zheli blinked. This name and the name of this restaurant, "Yaedo," were instantly connected.

Yaegamiko, the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, is the most famous great monster in all of Inazuma. In addition to controlling the center of faith in Inazuma, she is also said to be a follower of the god of thunder and has a high status. She also organized Yaegado and is now one of the most famous publishers in Inazuma and even in all of Teyvat.

Both Kaedehara Manye and Kamisato Ayaka had mentioned these events to him in detail, and they were probably not secret books known only to a few people.

In other words, the pink-haired woman in front of me with fox ears and wearing a strange shrine maiden costume is the legendary Yae God Child?

"Tianling Bingxing?" The Eightfold Divine Son narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ever since Linghua recounted the history of the "Fire Brigade", Zheli saw the same attitude again.

It was not known whether it was because both parties were related to Narukami Taisha, or if Tenryo Bugyo was indeed so unwelcome, but in any case, no matter where he went, Zheli could feel that Tenryo Bugyo was being disliked like a rat crossing the street.

...But after encountering Xiao Gong's incident today, Zhe Li began to understand this feeling to some extent.

Yajō Godson glanced at the followers and asked, "Why is there such a commotion in front of Yajō Hall?"

"Palace, Palace Master—" One of the officials stepped forward, gritting his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "This man fled earlier out of fear of punishment. We disturbed the Palace Master during the pursuit. We are deeply sorry."

"Oh? What crime did you commit?"

Yaejinko smiled, but it didn't seem like a friendly expression, more like a melancholy that suggested a storm was about to come.

"If I remember correctly, the Tianling Bugxing has never been as hasty as you are in dealing with criminals in the act."

"This..." Fengxingzhong was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he stammered, "This person...this person refused to cooperate with our investigation and even intended to attack us, so -"

"Nonsense!" the hunted young man turned around and shouted angrily, "It was you who suddenly came up to stop me and wanted to take me back to Tianling Fengxing. I asked you to give a reason, but each of you acted like a mute. It was so difficult to deal with. I was so anxious that I tried to escape..."

Yae Shinko's gaze lingered on the young man for a moment, then turned back to the leading group of followers: "Oh? Is that really the case?"

"It is an established fact that colleagues were injured by this man," the man said.

Then, a follower with torn clothes on his arms and some burn marks on his skin stepped forward at the right time, as if to use himself as evidence to support his colleague's statement.

Seeing the serious looks of these two people, the young man became even more angry. The Eye of God on his waist slowly lit up, and it seemed that he was about to attack, but at this moment a hand was placed on his shoulder.

It turned out that Baodeng Zheli finally couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and shook his head at the young man, whispering:

"Brother, if you continue like this, even what was reasonable will become unreasonable."

The Tianling Bughang offered no explanation for the young man's statement, simply stating, "I was attacked." Regardless of the reason, the young man's assault on the Bughang members was a fact, and if pressed, he would be unable to defend himself, let alone take further action at this moment to establish irrefutable evidence.

"But...!" the young man gritted his teeth.

Looking at Zhe Li's serious expression, he showed regret: after being interrupted like this and calming down for a moment, he also understood that the best thing to do now was to let Tianling Fengxing take him away obediently - the other party obviously had something to hide and did not dare to make the reason for the trouble clear. As long as he insisted that it was just an accidental injury, there was a good chance that he would only be imprisoned for a few days for lighter crimes such as negligent injury.

But why? It was clearly these bastards who came to trouble me first!

The officials then said, "Please understand, Your Excellency, the Palace Administrator."

The leading man didn't even look at the young man gritting his teeth, and spoke in a businesslike tone.

"Oh, what do you want from this Palace Judge?" Yaejinzi raised his sleeve to cover his lips, his eyes narrowed like crescent moons, and he chuckled a few times: "The position of Tianling Bingxing was appointed by the General himself, and I enforce the law in Inazuma Castle. Why should I look at anyone's face? This Palace Judge just heard a commotion outside the door and came out to take a look. You can all perform your duties. After all -"

"Act according to the law and have a clear conscience."

"..."

The voice of Sakura Ayane was very pleasant to listen to, but the Tenryo Bugyo seemed very uncomfortable listening to it.

Yaejinko's words were sarcastic, but she remained motionless, just like her words. The followers stared at her for a long moment, then, seeing that she didn't seem to be planning to do anything, turned to their colleagues and shouted,

"What are you waiting for? Take the prisoner away!"

Two followers stepped forward with guns in hand, glanced cautiously at Yae Shenzi, and finally reached out to capture the young man.

This time the young man did not resist. He hung his head, his face ashen.

Just as Tianling Fengxing was about to take the people away, a lazy voice stopped them: "Wait a moment."

"...Master Palace Administrator, what can I do for you?"

The officer who looked like the captain gripped the handle of his gun, and turned to look at Yae-miya-sama - at that moment, the miko was slowly walking towards them.

Yae Shinko came forward, looked at the young man with his head lowered, and suddenly took out an amulet and stuffed it into the young man's clothes.

"...Huh?" The young man looked up in disbelief.

"Little fellow, you are in such bad luck, I, the palace guard, have taken the liberty of asking for a talisman for you. Please accept it with gratitude."

After he finished speaking, the palace official turned around and walked away without even glancing at the group of followers, as if he was walking into a deserted place.

However, this attitude similar to contempt seemed to make the magistrates feel relieved, and they fled towards the Tianling Magistrate with the "criminal" in their hands.

Yae Kamiko returned to the gate of Yaedo Hall and once again gave an elusive smile to the group of girls in the band, or rather to the only man, Zheli.

"—So, are you all guests of Yaedou? Please come in."

●

Under the guidance of the Eightfold Son of God, several people walked into the Eightfold Hall one after another.

From the outside, this bookstore looks like any other building in Inazuma, but once you step inside, you'll discover a highly sophisticated interior. Specifically, it's very commercial: Near the entrance, separate shelves and a sign highlight bestsellers. Further inside, you'll find entertainment titles with eye-catching covers and titles, followed by a glimpse of reference books.

This is a common bookstore decoration in modern Japan, but everyone at CRYCHIC seemed unfamiliar with this type of bookstore and walked along the route a little cautiously.

In a world where music is king, if you have free time, you'd definitely go to a music store instead of a bookstore.

Even Nagasaki Motoyo, who probably knows the most about (light) novels, looked around with curiosity.

Zhe Li followed at the end and watched them walk to the bookshelf of their interest. He had originally planned to find some interesting novels, but when he passed by Yae Shen Zi, he silently slowed down his pace.

Yae Shenzi was about to walk to the fork in the road when the pair of big ears on his forehead moved. He probably noticed Zheli's slowing footsteps and looked back at him.

"Little guy, judging from your expression, do you have any questions?"

Chapter 92: The demon is born from the demon's mother

After just a brief hesitation, he was directly pointed out by the other party.

In this case, there was no need to think too much. Baodeng Zheli stepped forward and asked, "Do you know me?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Yae Shinto sneered.

She raised her sleeves to cover most of her face, and her eyes narrowed with a smile, as if trying to show with this condescending look that the person in front of her was ungrateful.

"From just now on, the gaze of the Palace Master has been very concerning." Zhe Li and Yae Shen Zi exchanged glances for a while. When he saw her slightly raised eyebrows, he looked away and said, "However, I don't remember that I have ever met the Palace Master before..."

"hehe--"

Yaejinko lowered her sleeves, revealing the smiling face underneath.

"A group of people of unknown origin have suddenly become close to the shrine's imps. As the head of the shrine, I must pay more attention to them."

"...Is that really the reason?"

I thought that with the help of the protection of the Kanjo Bugyo Hiiragi family, I could conceal the existence of my group... Alas, in a world where super powers and immortal species really exist, such unrefined little tricks cannot be hidden from the real superiors.

Initially, the reason why Bao Dengzeli was cautious about his contact with Hiiragi China was because he considered the subsequent impact of this identity.

Now that he had a more or less grasp of the gate's operating mechanisms, he didn't need to be as cautious as the brave warrior, showing caution towards everything: as usual, if he couldn't defeat her, he could at least run away. Even now, facing Inazuma's famous demon, Yae Kamiko, Zheli felt like he could handle it, just like Tokiwa Sougo.

Of course, having confidence is one thing, but you don't have to actually put it into practice.
