From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

An Xiu shook his head at this.

"Nothing, I'm just curious about what the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family looks like when she works outside."

The light words sounded like deafening to Toyokawa Shoko's ears. The girl, whose identity was revealed, immediately stepped back and distanced herself from An Xiu and the other two, showing a very vigilant expression.

"Why do you know my identity? Could it be that... you are also related to the Toyokawa family?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked An Xiu and the other two with a gloomy look in her eyes. Her expression was like that of a Hakimi with his fur standing on end, breathing indiscriminately at everyone around him.

As everyone knows, Tsuki no Mori, where Toyokawa Shoko previously attended, is a girls' academy. Therefore, An Xiu, who revealed his identity, could not be her former classmate. If that is the case, he can only be someone who has a certain relationship with the Toyokawa family and knows the inside story.

Unexpectedly, even after leaving the Toyokawa family, I can't escape the shadow of the Toyokawa family?

Perhaps... this is the darkness of the Toyokawa family?

At this moment, Shoko Toyokawa felt as if she was being enveloped by the invisible hand of capital, with nowhere to escape.

"In fact, I have no relationship with the Toyokawa family. The reason I was able to recognize your identity is purely because I happened to know you."

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko, who was immersed in her own world after questioning him, An Xiu spoke.

After all, it is a legendary anime that broke through the circle of the previous life. The other supporting characters are okay, but it is difficult not to recognize the protagonist Shoko Toyokawa.

"Don't be ridiculous. If I have no connection with the Toyokawa family, how could you recognize my identity? I don't remember knowing you before."

It was obvious that Toyokawa Shoko didn't believe a word of what An Xiu said. She could resist the urge to turn around and leave this guy who was laughing at her because the store manager was nice to her. Therefore, she couldn't leave her post without permission during work.

But even so, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to show her tough attitude, but was then stopped by Takina who stepped forward next to Anxiu.

"Stand still, don't come any closer!"

Just kidding, as Rikolis was specially sent to protect Anshu, neither Nishiki Chitsuka nor Inoue Takina forgot their duties.

If it was just a normal exchange, it would be fine, but the blue-haired girl in front of him was obviously in a bad mood. Even if Takina didn't stop her first, if she got any closer, Chizuka would step forward to stop her.

"That's... a gun?!"

When she noticed the black-haired girl blocking her way taking action and saw a weapon glimpsed from under her skirt, Toyokawa Shoko, who was about to continue breathing out air, suddenly widened her eyes and her heart stopped.

Shoko Toyokawa was very confident in her eyes. Even though it was only a brief moment, she believed that she would not be wrong. The black weapon hidden under the skirt of the girl in front of her was definitely a gun.

Could that metallic texture be a prop? Toyokawa Shoko wasn't sure, nor did she have the courage to confirm it.

So, under the gaze of An Xiu and the other two, Toyokawa Shoko, who had originally had a tough attitude, quickly degenerated into a soft and gluttonous state, standing there, not daring to say a word.

"What happened?"

Noticing the commotion here, Ijichi Hongxia, who had no new customers at the moment, came over and asked.

In response to this, Pochi, also known as Goto Ichiri, shook his head.

"I...I don't know."

The conversation between Toyokawa Shoko, Anxiu and the other two seemed very long, but in fact it was only less than half a minute in total. Due to his severe social phobia, he kept his head down while leading the way. By the time Goto Ichiri noticed the situation behind him, the conversation between Toyokawa Shoko, Anxiu and the other two had basically ended.

So, even though she was there the whole time, she really didn't know what was going on and didn't have the courage to ask.

"No, nothing. I just accidentally had some unpleasantness with a customer. If there's nothing else, I'll continue to work."

Seeing Ijichi Hongxia coming, Toyokawa Shoko, who was in a weak state, did not dare to tell the truth about what had happened before. She could only apologize hurriedly and then turned around and ran away without looking back.

"Oh, is that so?"

Although she instinctively felt that things might not be as simple as Toyokawa Shoko said, Ijichi Hongxia still took the opportunity to apologize to Anxiu and the other two.

"Well, we're very sorry for the poor service and the negative experience we've brought you. As compensation, we'll give you three free cups of ginger ale. Please don't be angry."

"It doesn't matter."

An Xiu shook his head at this.

He didn't care about Toyokawa Shoko's offense. After all, it was he who teased Teacher Daisho on a whim.

Besides, An Xiu also believed that he would meet the other party again in the future. After all, the power under An Xiu was expanding very quickly. Considering the size of the Toyokawa family, it was possible that they had already come into contact.

According to An Xiu's understanding, many powerful members of his forces are planning to use some shady tactics to please him, such as sending some beautiful female members of the family behind him to his residence. It is self-evident what their purpose is.

In other words, as long as the Toyokawa family joins Anxiu in the future, there is a high probability that Toyokawa Shoko will appear in front of Anxiu in a situation she could not imagine.

Chapter 243: An Xiu’s parting gift, the DA commander’s envy, desire, and heartache

In a blink of an eye, a day passed.

With Chizuka and Takina by his side, Anxiu met the soft and sticky Xiaoxiang, Ijichi Nijika, Goto Ichiri and Yamada Ryo who were also in the studio. Although there was not much communication except with Chizuka and Takina, Anxiu had a very pleasant day.

At dusk, Anxiu returned to the Fujiwara residence and said goodbye to Chizuka and Takina. Before leaving, Anxiu gave them a devil fruit and a Ouroboros potion.

"This potion is best used by Chizuki. As for this devil fruit, give it to Takina."

"Oh, are there any gifts?"

After hearing An Xiu's words, Qian Shu thanked him and took the exquisitely packaged potion and the strangely shaped devil fruit in the box handed to him by An Xiu with some surprise.

However, as two young girls, they obviously didn’t know what the two gifts in front of them meant, and how many people would be jealous of them.

......

In the evening, after completing the mission, before returning to the cafe, Chizuka and Takina need to report to the DA organization headquarters.

There's naturally not much to say about the process, except that the DA commander, who was listening to the two people's mission reports, had a changed expression when he heard the end.

"You're saying that before leaving, that master gave you two a potion and a strangely shaped fruit?"

"Yes."

Chizuka and Takina, who were giving a report, nodded, and were a little curious about why the commander's expression suddenly changed so much.

The commander of the DA organization naturally would not answer this question.

Others don’t know what the gift that adult gave is, but how could he not know since he barely knows some inside information because of this mission?

Potions that could extend lifespan by over a hundred years, and devil fruits that could grant people extraordinary powers, these were priceless treasures that even the bigwigs above him coveted, but that lord just gave them away so casually.

While he felt more and more in awe of that adult, the commander of the DA organization couldn't help but feel extremely heartbroken.

Such a precious treasure, was given away so casually. If he had known that serving by that master's side for a day would yield such a reward, why would he have given this task to Nishiki Chitsuka and Inoue Takina? He would have taken it upon himself long ago.

Feelings of greed, regret, and desire continued to surface in his heart. The commander of the DA organization wanted to take the rewards that Chizuki Nishiki and Takina Inoue received for himself, but he did not dare to take action because of Anxiu's existence.

In the end, he could only choose to turn a blind eye and waved his hand to signal Chizuka and Takina that they could leave.

After leaving the DA organization's headquarters, Chizuka and Takina looked at each other.

They are not fools. When they finished their report and heard the gift An Xiu gave them, the DA organization commander's expression of extreme desire could not be faked.

Obviously, this gift they received accidentally may be far more valuable than they imagined.

So, the two of them didn't stop for too long on the way and quickly returned to their coffee shop base.

"Welcome back, Chizuka and Takina. Did the mission go well today?"

Manager Mika, who was still sitting in the store and wiping cups, noticed that the two men looked hurried and couldn't help but feel curious.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong? Why do you look like you came back in a hurry?"

"No, nothing. I just received some valuable gifts at the end of the mission, so I was in a hurry to come back and put them away."

After returning to the cafe, Nishiki Chitsuga, who had relaxed again, answered while panting and smiling.

"Is that so?"

"Tsk, kids these days are so unstable. They make a fuss over anything that happens."

After hearing Qianshu's answer, Mika didn't say anything else, but the drunk Nakahara Ruixi who was not far away retorted casually.

As a former DA intelligence agent, she had seen all kinds of scenes. It was really unusual for her to react so strongly to just receiving some gifts.

In response to this, Nishiki Chitsuka rarely argued with Nakahara Mizuki, but instead directly pulled Takina upstairs in a hurry.

After returning to their room in the cafe, Nishiki Chitsuga took out the gift that Anxiu had given them.

"The potion is for me, and the fruit is for Takina, so is there any difference between these two gifts for us?"

Normally, the gifts given to someone you meet for the first time should be the same. Only after the two parties have known each other for a long time will different gifts be given according to each other's preferences.

But they had only met An Xiu once because of a mission, so this possibility was ruled out.

"Forget it, let's not think about this anymore. Let me see... The instructions for the medicine say it's for oral use, but they don't specify its specific effects. Is this really a legitimate medicine? It doesn't even have the effects listed. A normal person wouldn't dare drink it, right?"

"Aside from the fact that it looks a little strange, there's nothing special about Takina's fruit. You should just eat it as is."

After looking at the potion and fruit in front of them, Chizuka and Takina finally chose to believe Anxiu and their previous observations at the DA organization headquarters.

Chizuki opened the potion, put it to her mouth and drank it all, while Takina washed the devil fruit in her hand, then carefully put it to her mouth and took a bite.

"It tastes so bad!"

The moment the fruit entered his mouth, an indescribable taste immediately filled his entire mouth. Takina's face instantly showed difficulty, and he finally swallowed the fruit in his mouth with strong willpower.

Originally, Takina didn't want to take a second bite of such a disgusting fruit. However, the moment she swallowed the fruit, a special power suddenly emerged, and at the same time, information about the fruit in her hand emerged in Takina's mind.

"The Explosion Fruit can turn any object it touches into a bomb by consuming its physical strength..."

Staring blankly at the bitten devil fruit in her hand, Takina, unable to confirm the truth of the information in her mind, subconsciously used her power.

The next moment, Takina felt with horror that the entire coffee shop had been turned into a bomb by her in an instant, and could explode at any time with just a thought.

What followed was a feeling of weakness as if one's physical strength had been drained away in an instant, as if one had overdrawn the body, unable to even move a finger.

"I accidentally consumed too much energy..."

At this point, Takina no longer had any doubts about the information in her mind. She really had obtained this extraordinary power that was like a superpower, which could turn anything it touched into a bomb.

Wait... If I'm like this, then Qianshu must be like this too...

Thinking of this, Takina reluctantly turned her head, only to find that Chizuki, who had just taken the potion, had stood up at some point and was closing her eyes to feel the changes in herself.

"It's amazing. I feel like my body is full of strength now, and..."

His right hand subconsciously rested on the position of his heart on his chest. Qian Shu, who was supposed to have a congenital heart disease and could only survive with an artificial heart, could now feel his heart beating healthily.

"Hey, I'm fine?!"

Chapter 244: Even the Sigong Family Wants to Fawn Over an Existence? Sigong Huangguang's Reminder

In the evening, inside the Likolis Cafe.

Chitsuka and Takina were kneeling in the room with embarrassed expressions, and in front of them were store manager Mika and Mizuki Nakahara.

The reason for this situation was very simple. Qian Shu had just used An Xiu's medicine to heal his body, and he was too excited to control the strength in his body for a moment. He jumped on the spot and directly knocked a hole in the roof.

Faced with store manager Mika and Mizuki Nakahara who came over after hearing the noise, the two could only awkwardly explain the situation truthfully.

"So what you're saying is that the person you were protecting during your mission today was a handsome young man who might be incredibly high-ranking. Not only did you happily spend the entire day with him, using public funds, but before you left, he also gave you a potion that can cure Chifu and significantly strengthen your body, as well as a fruit that can awaken superpowers?"

After hearing Chizuka and Takina's explanations, Mizuki Nakahara pinched herself in a somewhat unreal way.

Mizuki Nakahara choked up.

Honestly, Qian Shu's words would have made her sneer in the face if it were any other time. It's fine for sisters to just fantasize about fooling others, but why are they fooling themselves? And the stories they made up were so outrageous, with all the talk of genetic potions and fruits that could awaken superpowers.

But now the facts are right in front of us.

First, Qianzhu failed to control her strength and jumped directly through the ceiling. When she and Mika arrived, Takina had just pulled the person down. Then, Takina turned a bullet into a bomb and detonated it in front of them, and at the same time she herself was immune to the damage from the explosion.

While I was shocked that what the two people said was true, I was also overwhelmed by the absurd feeling of having my worldview shattered.

Manager Mika is fine. He only cares about Qianshu. Now that Qianshu has recovered her health, other things don’t matter to him.

But Mizuki Nakahara is different. As a former intelligence officer of the DA organization, how could she not know when such heaven-defying things as the genetic medicine that Chitose took and the devil fruit that Takina said allowed her to awaken her superpowers appeared in modern society?

Oh, that's right. The existence of something like this must be top secret. It's normal that she, a former member of an intelligence organization, doesn't know about it.

But why did the target of the mission that Chizuka and Takina mentioned they were protecting just give them such a precious thing so casually?
