Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

Lin Yuanshan unscrewed the bottle cap and was about to take a sip when he heard this and paused.

He looked at Chu Hua standing in the halo of light; the contours of her profile were delicately outlined by the light.

Her long, golden hair seemed to have been tinged with a light pink.

The usual sense of detachment from the crowd seemed to be completely melted away by this warm light.

"What kind of outrageous urban legend is this?"

He finally couldn't resist and gulped down the whole bottle of milk, the cloying artificial flavoring instantly filling his mouth.

"It's a pattern I've observed."

Chu Hua said, tossing in a coin.

The machine emitted a soft hum, and inside the transparent cover, a small stick began to spin rapidly, coiling the sugar strands around and around.

Soon, a huge, girly pink cotton candy took shape.

She took out the marshmallow, turned around, walked up to him, and handed it to him.

"Here, it's yours."

Lin Yuanshan was stunned for a moment:

"Thank you... How did you know I liked this?"

"Your obsession with sugar has reached a point where you can't hide it anymore."

Chu Hua finally picked up her coffee, pulled the tab,

The rising steam blurred the mischievous smile on her lips.

"cheers?"

She said so.

Lin Yuanshan held up the cotton candy in his hand because he had finished drinking his milk.

"cheers."

Chu Hua smiled and gently touched the soft, sweet cloud with the coffee can.

In the grass not far away,

The blonde, delinquent version of Toyokawa Shoko is tearing apart a potato chip bag with her teeth, making a "crackling" sound.

Oh my god!!!

Those two look like they're on a date!

No, absolutely not!

No matter what, the newborn child shouldn't be called "sister," but "auntie"!

She doesn't want to call Chu Hua her stepmother!

Behind the trash can next to the bushes.

With a blank expression, Wakaba Mutsumi opened a huge black garbage bag and muttered to herself into the air.

Mortis:

"Are you ready?"

Wakaba Mutsu:

"It's ready, so what's the point?"

Mortis:

"Of course, it's used to help Xiangzi dispose of the carcasses of large mammals!"

Behind the streetlight next to the trash can.

Watching the interaction between Shoko's father and Hatsuka, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but mourn for Shoko.

Meanwhile, Shiina Tatsuki is reporting the battle situation to the MyGo members.

"That's the situation. Chu Hua has launched a fierce attack, and Xiang Zi is gritting his teeth in the bushes..."

"I feel the situation will escalate soon. If you're coming, remember to bring some bandages; it could get very bloody!"

In front of the vending machine.

Sanjiao Chuhua finished her coffee.

"Wait for me, I'm going to the restroom."

"Okay, go ahead, be careful."

Because a tracking device was placed on Chu Hua, Lin Yuanshan wasn't too worried about her getting lost.

Tokyo, inside a karaoke room.

Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Akari, and Hachiman Kairin were huddled together furtively.

His face was solemn.

In front of them was a mobile phone with its speakerphone function turned on.

Ai Yin shuddered as she imagined the horrific battle described by Riki on the phone.

"A battlefield of carnage, how terrifying!"

Gao Songdeng didn't say anything, but silently prepared a lot of band-aids.

Just as Hailing was about to speak, a strange noise suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"Rustle---"

Lixi:

"Wait, when are you from?!"

Su Shi:

"She's not acting right, run!"

A mysterious female voice:

"Hmph! Trying to escape?! Eat my Divine Thunderbolt!!!"

“Sizzle, sizzle—”

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Wakaba Mutsu:

"Huh? What are you guys doing here?! Ughhhhh!!!"

"Hey Hey hey?"

Aine tried to continue asking questions,

But all that came on the other end of the phone was a dial tone.

In front of the vending machine.

Lin Yuanshan had just finished the cotton candy in his hand when he saw Chu Hua return.

On her back, she also carried a "blonde delinquent" whose eyes turned into mosquito coil rings.

Lin Yuanshan blinked, feigning surprise.

"Hey? Xiangzi's here too?"

That exaggerated acting was obviously faked.

After all, the tracking signal on Xiangzi had appeared in the vicinity more than ten minutes ago.

"Yes, we met them on the way."

As Chu Hua spoke, she gently placed the soft and cuddly Xiao Xiang on the bench.

"Is this what she is?"

"Maybe she's asleep?"

Chu Hua, without batting an eye, spouted nonsense.

Lin Yuanshan looked at Xiangzi's "peaceful" sleeping face and was speechless.

"She's sleeping so soundly... her soul must have left her body."

"Yes, Xiao Xiang is especially cute when he's asleep."

As Chu Hua spoke, her gaze drifted towards Lin Yuanshan, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

Lin Yuanshan felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he changed the subject:

"You seem to be having a lot of fun these past few days, but don't forget, Tokyo is your stage. Staying in a place like this for too long will rot your bones."

"I actually think this kind of life is quite nice,"

Chu Hua shook her head, a look of reminiscence on her face.

"You know what? Becoming an idol wasn't my original dream."

Lin Yuanshan thought to himself:

Of course I know, I even know that it was your sister's dream.

But given her personality, she's more suited to be the emperor of Tokyo's underground boxing scene.

Chu Hua's voice became somewhat dazed:

"So, if we could just keep living like this, you, me, and Xiangzi... that would be great."

"You're not suggesting that the three of us living a good life is more important than anything else, are you?"

"Pfft!"

She burst out laughing.

"Xiangzi seems to be very resistant to me becoming her stepmother."

"After all, a fake is still a fake."

Lin Yuanshan reminded him.

Chu Hua's eyes turned serious.

"A lie repeated a thousand times can become the truth."

That persistence may stem from certain experiences she herself had.

But Lin Yuanshan couldn't stay in Fukuoka forever; he had his own things to do.

Seeing his silence, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Chu Hua's eyes.

"It's time to go back for dinner, let's go."

Lin Yuanshan stood up.

"Ah."

Chu Hua nodded and carried Xiangzi on his back.

Chapter 30 There are no humans anymore

When Xiangzi woke up, he only saw a distraught Chuhua.

"what happened?"

Her voice was still groggy from just waking up.

"Did that bastard dad bully you?!"

"Coo coo coo---"

Before she could finish speaking, her stomach began to protest.

Being electrocuted and then starving all night would be unbearable even for an iron man.
