In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

She hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. Her eyes fell on Xiao San's face, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

"You...please step aside for a while." Eriri's voice was soft, with a hint of pleading.

Takashi nodded, stood up, and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the kitchen, and his figure quickly disappeared behind the door.

Eriri took a deep breath and walked to the door...

As soon as she opened the door, Renye couldn't wait to squeeze in, waving a thick stack of manuscript paper in his hand, his face full of excitement, "Eri! Listen to me, I suddenly had an awesome character design last night!" Renye's voice was high-pitched, "This character is a genius magical girl, but she's actually a robot! And her core energy is..."

Eriri's brows furrowed slightly, and an inexplicable impatience welled up in her heart. She was already annoyed because Kozo hadn't agreed to her request, and Tomoya's constant chattering made her even more annoyed.

"Ryouya, I'm not in the mood to listen to this right now." Eriri's voice was cold.

The joys and sorrows of each person are different, and it is difficult for people to understand each other.

Ren seemed to have not heard her words, still immersed in his own world: "And her weapon is a magic wand that can transform. It looks like an ordinary pen at ordinary times, but in battle it can transform into... But this doesn't seem to fit in with the ordinary school romance, right?"

"Ryouya!" Eriri's voice suddenly rose, interrupting him. "I told you, I'm not in the mood for this right now!"

Lun was stunned for a moment, and finally stopped his unending tale. A flicker of embarrassment crossed his face, but he quickly regained his smile. "Ah, sorry, I was too excited. But this setting is really great, you're sure to like it!"

Even so, Renya continued to harp on about his "genius magical girl robot" concept, completely unaware of Eriri's increasingly impatient expression. "And her backstory is super interesting! She actually traveled back from the future to save the world, but her memory was sealed, so..."

"Enough!" Eriri finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Renye.

Ren was stunned. "Eri, what's wrong with you? I just..."

"I said, I'm busy now!" Eriri's voice suddenly rose, and she stretched out her hand without hesitation and pushed Ren out with force.

Ren stumbled and almost fell. "Eriri, what's wrong with you? I just..."

"Bang!" Without giving him a chance to continue, Eriri slammed the door shut.

Outside the door, Lun was standing in the corridor, still holding the stack of manuscript paper in his hand... He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed, turned and left.

Inside the room, Eriri leaned against the door and let out a long breath. Her fingers tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, and she felt a complicated feeling in her heart.

Just then, Xiaosan walked out of the room.

"Eri, are you okay?" Takashi's voice was soft.

Eriri looked up at Kozo, "If...if you don't help me get revenge, I'll tell Mom about what happened." Her eyes were determined, and she pushed forward step by step...forcing Kozo to retreat. His back pressed against the cold wall, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.

Eriri's flat chest was almost pressed against his, her eyes fixed on Kouzo's. "Are you going to help me or not?"

Takashi's brows furrowed slightly, and he placed his fingers gently on her wrist, "Eri, don't be like this, calm down..."

"I don't need to hear this!" Eriri said, her voice rising. "I'm just asking you, will you help me?"

Kou San said softly, "I will...do my best."

Eriri's heart trembled slightly, "...Thank you, **." Her voice was soft, with an imperceptible apology. Her fingers gently stroked Kosan's cheek, and her breathing became rapid.

Their lips touched gently...

At this moment, Eriri's long-suppressed emotions were released silently. Eriri's kiss was passionate, and she used this way to express her determination for revenge.

Eriri held onto Kozo's shoulders tightly, not allowing him to retreat. Kozo's hands went around her waist, pulling her in close, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Just as the atmosphere between them was heating up and they were about to take the next step...

"Eri, Kozo, I'm back." Sayuri Sawamura's voice came from the entrance, accompanied by the "click" sound of the key inserted into the keyhole.

Eriri's body suddenly stiffened, and she quickly broke free from Takashi's arms as if she had been electrocuted. Her cheeks instantly turned red, and her fingers frantically adjusted her messy hair and clothes, trying to make herself look normal.

Takashi San also quickly stood up and coughed lightly.

Sayuri Sawamura walked into the living room, shopping bags in hand and a gentle smile on her face. Her eyes glanced between Eriri and Kouzo, as if she noticed something strange.

"What are you doing?" Sayuri looked puzzled.

Eriri's heart suddenly tightened, and a faint blush spread across her face. She lowered her head, her voice stuttering a little, "No, nothing... We were just... discussing something."

Sayuri's eyes fell on Kozo's face, "Kozo, is Eriri bullying you again?"

Kozo was stunned for a moment, then revealed a helpless smile: "No, Ms. Sawamura. Eriri... is just a little emotional. We were just talking about something."

A hint of suspicion flashed across Sayuri's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She sighed softly, "Eriri, don't always bully Kosan like this."

Eriri's fingers tightly grasped the edge of her clothes, her heart filled with guilt and uneasiness. "I know, Mom."

Sayuri smiled and patted her shoulder gently: "Okay, I'll go prepare dinner. You guys should take a rest too." After that, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.

The living room fell silent again, and Eriri and Kozo looked at each other.

Eriri's face was still flushed, and she felt a little complicated. "Um, what happened just now..."

Xiao San said in a gentle voice: "Didn't I already promise you just now?"

Ying Lili's heart trembled slightly, as if...

Something is quietly changing.

If we put aside some key indescribable and principled issues that everyone understands.

Handsome, wealthy, powerful, reliable, and very good at pleasing women...

Eriri also likes this perfect man, a man who can make her feel safe and happy. Aki Tomoya, who originally had an ambiguous relationship with Eriri, now seems to have become insignificant in her heart.

As time goes by, the relationship between Eriri and Kozo gradually becomes harmonious. The former estrangement and hostility are diluted by time (money), and replaced by a subtle relationship between them...

Eriri would go to the Metropolitan Police Department to see Kozo every now and then.

Every time she pushed open the door of the Anti-Demon Special Section 4 office, Kouzo would always look up (assuming Kouzo was in the office) and smile gently: "Eriri, why are you here?"

"Mom asked me to call you home for dinner." Ying Lili's tone was relaxed.

She had become accustomed to such conversations and even began to look forward to every visit to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Takashi doesn't have much vacation time (actually, he has quite a lot, but he's always busy with other things)...

But every time she takes a vacation, Eriri will show up at the Metropolitan Police Department on time as her mother requests.

Sometimes she would stay in Xiaosan's office, sometimes in the lounge, waiting for Xiaosan to get off work.

"Let's go home." Xiaosan's voice was soft and doting.

Eriri nodded and followed him. She had become accustomed to this kind of interaction and even began to enjoy this ordinary yet warm time.

When shopping, Eriri's eyes are always drawn to the various goods in the windows. Her fingers gently touch the exquisite clothes and accessories.

Her righteous father disliked associating with the rich and powerful, and therefore refused to accept money from them. Plus, Eriri was only a high school student, and her allowance was controlled, so naturally... she had never experienced these expensive things.

"Do you like it?" Xiaosan's voice came from behind, with a hint of temptation.

Eriri nodded, "But... it's a bit expensive."

Xiao San smiled and patted her shoulder gently: "It's okay, buy it if you like it."

His tone was relaxed and natural, as if these expensive prices were not worth mentioning to him at all.

Tens of thousands of yen is a month's living expenses for most Japanese university students, and hundreds of thousands of yen is a monthly income for a Japanese office worker. But... for Kozo, it's just a few days' worth of food for Altria. If the master were to spend lavishly on a whim, the sums could be astronomical.

At this moment, Eriri's heart was beating faster. She had never imagined that one day she would be able to wear clothes from these luxury brands and taste the delicacies that she had only admired from afar.

"Thank you." Eriri's voice was soft.

Xiao San said gently: "As long as you are happy."

Eriri said nothing, only silently nodding. Her impression of Kozo had already subtly shifted. Her former prejudice and hostility had transformed into... guilt and a sense of indebtedness. This was the power of money.

As time went by, Eriri discovered that when she was with Kozo, she could always forget all her worries, feeling safe and relaxed. Whether it was shopping, eating, or just taking a simple walk... she could feel a sense of ease and joy she had never felt before.

While shopping one day, Eriri asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time...

"Why...are you so nice to me?" Eriri asked.

Takashi's eyes were filled with tenderness, "Because you and your mother are very important to me. I hope you can live happily."

Without a doubt, this was Manhun’s answer.

This kind of greasy answer has the power of a killer in the mouth of a "tall, rich and handsome" man like Xiaosan.

"Thank you..." Eriri's voice was soft.

Xiao San smiled and patted her shoulder gently: "This is what I should do. But I am very happy to hear you say that."

Eriri didn't say anything else, but nodded silently. This feeling of being loved made her feel very happy.

However, beneath this harmonious appearance, Xiaosan's heart is filled with tremendous pressure.

At night, Xiao San stood by the living room window, his eyes gazing into the distance through the glass, his expression filled with complex emotions. His fingers tapped unconsciously on the windowsill. "What should I do..."

On the one hand, he is the murderer of Eriri's father.

Although it was an accident, an unexpected situation when he was killing dangerous species as Kabuto, the fact is the fact... Eriri witnessed the death of her "fake father" with her own eyes.

Whenever he saw Eriri's eyes filled with anger and pain, and her face that was very similar to Airi, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife... He wanted to compensate her, protect her, and free her from hatred, but he also knew that he was not qualified at all.

On the other hand, he didn't know how to confess the truth to Eriri.

Every time I saw her hostile eyes, my eloquent voice seemed to be blocked by something and I couldn't speak.

He was afraid...

He was afraid that once the truth was revealed, Eriri would completely collapse, hate him to the core, and even do something extreme.

At this moment, Eriri's voice came from behind: "Xiaosan, what are you daydreaming about?"

Takashi's body stiffened slightly, and he quickly adjusted his expression and turned around. Eriri was standing behind him, holding a glass of water, a look of confusion in her eyes.

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Xiao San forced a smile, with a hint of relief in his tone.

Ying Lili's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "You are always like this, refusing to say anything."

Eriri placed her hands on Takashi's neck, her eyes blurred, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her breathing became rapid. "I just checked, and my mother has fallen asleep. I..."

Her voice gradually faded...

She is waiting for Xiao San's response...

Takashi lowered his head into Eriri's neck, breathing in her scent. "Eriri..." He stroked his hand down Eriri's back, pulling her closer, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Eriri's eyes fell on Kouzo's face.

Xiao San picked her up and held her gently, "Keep your voice down later."

Eriri's face flushed, she nodded shyly and responded softly: "Okay, I understand." Her fingers tightly clasped Takashi's clothes, her heart filled with the nervousness and anticipation of a shy girl.

After that, Xiao San laid her on the bed, his movements gentle...

The moonlight outside the window fell on the two of them, casting long shadows.

System repair degree......

99%...

Chapter 118:119 Sakurajima Mai Arc : Controlling Sakuta and playing with Mai's feelings

This happened before Kozo attacked Mrs. Sawamura and Eriri.

One evening, the setting sun cast its last rays across the street. Azusagawa Sakuta was walking home from school. Suddenly, a chilling breeze blew past, and a low growl echoed from behind him. Sakuta turned sharply to see a ferocious demon lunging toward him, its sharp claws flashing with a cold light.

Sakuta's heartbeat quickened, and he instinctively dodged backward, but the demon was too fast, leaving him no time to react. At this critical moment, a silver figure suddenly descended from the sky, blocking his path.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the demon was knocked back by a powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.

Sakuta's eyes widened as he looked at the man in silver armor...

Kamen Rider Blade.

Currently, Takashi San is refreshing his equipment proficiency, although... he still feels that Kabuto's abilities are more practical and convenient (all demonic incidents around the world are suppressed by Kabuto. The closer the area is to Takashi San, the faster Kabuto suppresses it. It's almost like "as soon as Kabuto's insect meter detects it, the opponent is already eliminated. The remaining simple types are just the KPI of the fourth group of anti-demon specialties. Takashi San also knows how to keep the enemy at bay). However, he also needs to "show his identity" to act openly.

"Are you okay?" Xiaosan's voice came through the armor.

Sakuta was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded: "I...I'm fine."

Without a word, Takashi San turned to face the demon. His movements were clean and sharp, the sword in his hand flashing with dazzling light. After a few blows, the demon let out a shrill scream and exploded, dissipating into dust in the air.

After the battle, Xiao San canceled his transformation, revealing his handsome and childish face.

Sakuta looked at him, shock flashing in his eyes. "You are that... Yukinoshita?" (Sakuta had seen a news report about him before.)

Takashi nodded, his tone calm, "Yes."

"Thank you for saving me." Sakuta's voice was filled with gratitude.
