We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

She instinctively wanted to speed up as she rushed out of the house, but seeing Nan Yun Yuyue's unhurried and relaxed demeanor, as if she were just returning home, she felt much more at ease.

In Wakaba Mutsu's 'vision', a shadow seemed to flash past the edge of the two, as if it was blocking something.

"So... he's just like me."

As Ye Mu's last worry disappeared, she closed the door behind her as she left the house.

Now, Ruoye Mutsu feels that it's good that the house is bigger, because the distance is too far and the soundproofing inside is too good, so even if she rushes out of the house, she won't be seen by the guests in the hall at a glance.

Nanon Ugetsu had roughly the same thoughts.

But in reality, under the blessing of the 'precepts' power, the maids in Wakaba's household had no way of discovering the two of them.

Under the cover of 'precepts', everything was as silent as if it were not heard, and even perception was blocked.

"Huh? There are still people guarding outside?"

Within Nan Yun Yu Yue's 'Discipline' domain, she keenly sensed that there seemed to be several mixed-race figures around her.

Their attire varied greatly; some looked like white-collar workers smoking on the roadside after get off work, while others resembled young biker gang members with outlandish hairstyles...

They all wore colored contact lenses, and their aura completely blended into the surrounding environment, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect anything unusual about them.

But all of this is exposed under the 'precepts'.

"This outfit..."

"The Eight Families of the Serpent Clan?"

Nan Yunyuyue's thoughts drifted.

"It seems that among the guests invited by the Wakaba family tonight, there are indeed some people with extraordinary identities, which is why Wakaba Mutsu's parents attach so much importance to it."

"I did sense the presence of several hybrids at the Wakaba family residence just now. I was a little confused at first, but it seems that the guests inside are indeed members of the Snake-Headed Eight Families."

"As for Wakaba Mutsu's parents..."

"The other mixed-race people in the Ruoye family mansion are most likely them, but of course, it is also possible that they are other guests."

As Nanon Ugetsu thought this, she took Wakaba Mutsu's hand and walked towards a motorcycle parked nearby.

This is a CB400F, with a very spacious body. The average biker gang would never buy such a nice motorcycle, and Nanon Ugetsu doesn't seem like the kind of person who would buy this bike.

Seemingly noticing Wakaba Mutsuki's confusion, Nagumo Ugetsu smiled and explained:

“I borrowed this from one of my former teachers yesterday. He seemed very refined and easy-going, but I never expected his motorcycle to be so wild.”

“I have a good relationship with him. He was the one who recommended me to come to Tsukimori as a transfer student. At that time, I was still in Kamogawa Central Middle School.”

"Hey, having more friends has its advantages too. This is definitely a great tool for preventing being chased."

"Come on, get in the car."

The two men ran right up to the two motorcycles.

Once Wakaba Mutsu was settled, the engine was started.

Nanon Ugetsu deliberately released a fake aura to lower the guard of the Snake Clan's operators.

Within the perception of 'Discipline', after several members of the Snake Clan saw the figures of Nangumo Ugetsu and Wakaba Mutsu, one of them pretended to make a phone call:

"It looks like the owner of this house is her daughter?"

"Don't worry about it. We're not here to concern ourselves with their daughter's puberty. Just focus on the safety of the head of the family. Don't worry about anything else."

"it is good."

The group changed their positions and continued to pretend nothing had happened, while silently observing the situation inside the Wakaba family residence.

the other side,

This was the first time that Wakaba Mutsu had ridden a motorcycle.

To be precise, it was the first time I had been taken on a high-speed ride through the city night.

Buzz—whoosh!

The motorcycle engine suddenly accelerated.

Ruo Yemu's heart jolted violently. She closed her eyes and waited for the car's speed to gradually stabilize from the burst phase before opening them again.

A gust of wind blew in my face.

The night unfolded like ink painting, and the lights quickly stretched into lines around them.

She remembered the old piece she had played last time—"The Poem of the Wind".

Now she suddenly understood some of the meaning behind the so-called wind.

As the only daughter of the Wakaba family, Wakaba Mutsu has ridden in countless luxury cars, but that cold, impersonal feeling of being surrounded has never made her feel "alive".

Only now.

As she was thinking this, a gust of wind blew into her sleeve, making her feel a shiver run through her body.

If Ye Mu leaned close to Nan Yun Yu Yue's ear and whispered:

"slower."

Unfortunately, the wind was too strong, and Nan Yun Yuyue couldn't hear what she was saying. She could only feel the girl's breath on her ear, which was a little warm.

Ruo Yemu had no choice but to clamp her legs tightly around the sides of the motorcycle, making her clothes stick even more firmly to her sides.

The motorcycle, its lights flashing, cut through a long street.

Neon lights flashed by along the street.

"So fast……"

Wakaba Mutsu thought to herself.

At first, she was a little nervous because she had never had this experience before.

But soon, she found that she wasn't so afraid anymore.

Her heart was pounding, but it wasn't fear, it was... excitement.

As they walked through Ginza, shop assistants were displaying new season clothing in their windows; a woman in high heels was making a phone call outside a nightclub, her voice broken by the wind; outside a convenience store, someone was eating oden, the steam rising in gusts of heat into the cold air.

Every light, every sound, seemed to remind her: You are outside now.

Not at home, not in the banquet hall, not under the spotlight.

She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, lightly touched Nan Yun's back with her fingertips, and then quickly withdrew them.

Nan Yun Yuyue suddenly increased her speed again.

He inexplicably recalled videos he had seen before, such as a blond guy speeding through a police cordon with a girl. Although the scenes in those videos were different from the present, Nan Yun Yuyue was reminded of the phrase "Though there be thousands of people, I will go."

They turned from the main road into the side street, and then from the side street into the lower level of an elevated road, riding their bikes through the narrowest gaps in the city.

Wakaba Mutsu saw someone graffitiing under the bridge; a large patch of pink paint wasn't completely dry, reflecting a faint light under the streetlights.

She saw a group of teenagers leaning against the entrance of a convenience store, drinking and laughing.

I also saw a girl speeding by on a small scooter, her headphone wires whipping like white whips in the night.

These people and these scenes were things she had never seen before.

But now, she's inside, one of them.

Ruo Yemu didn't speak, but slowly released his hand from the back seat and quietly wrapped his arms around Nan Yunyuyue's waist.

At first it was just a touch, then the hug tightened, and later she leaned against his back.

now,

The motorcycle sped along the elevated highway, shooting like an arrow into the darkest corners of the city.

The night sky seemed to have a crack, and through that crack, stars sprinkled between the buildings, gradually sticking to the corners of Wakaba Mutsu's eyes.

They rode out of the city center, through the industrial area, and onto a dark, winding mountain road.

At last,

With a 'click' sound.

The motorcycle stopped.

Chapter 50 Tokyo Tower, Time

Ahead was a slope, not high, but the wind was strong.

Nanon Ugetsu and Wakaba Mutsu got out of the car.

Nan Yun Yuyue pulled her along and they walked up the slope.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The two walked slowly, letting the evening breeze caress them.

Upon reaching the top of the slope, the two sat cross-legged, looking back in the direction they had come from.

In the distance, Tokyo Tower stands like a glow stick stuck in the night, in the brightest spot of the city. There are many other tall buildings around it, but they are just scattered decorations in front of it.

Wakaba Mutsu gazed at the distant lights, remaining silent.

"Has your home always been like this?"

Nan Yun Yuyue suddenly asked.

This is a classic example of asking a question one already knows the answer to.

He was naturally aware of Ruo Yemu's family situation, but seeing her gazing into the distance in silence, the atmosphere was eerily oppressive.

Moreover, being able to ask about other people's home life can, to some extent, demonstrate the progress of a friendship.

Ruo Yemu lowered his head, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a single, faint syllable:

"Um……"

Nan Yun Yuyue didn't ask any further questions, but looked up at the sky for a long time before speaking.

"This is the first time I've ever seen Tokyo at night like this..."

He deliberately changed the subject, lifting the slightly somber mood that followed his escape from home, and even began to speak somewhat to himself:

"Speaking of which, when I was a child, I often watched a travel program, so I really wanted to see the world."

"The episode that left the deepest impression on me was about Iceland. She said that in a certain place in Iceland, you can see the aurora borealis at sunrise."

"I've always wanted to go, but unfortunately I've never had the chance."

"There are also the Swiss Alps, the pink beaches of Australia, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia... There are so many places in the world that I haven't seen yet."

"If I have the chance in the future, I must go on a trip."

Nan Yun Yuyue looked at Ruoye Mutsuki, who had already raised his head again, but instead of looking into the distance, he was looking at his profile.

"However, Japan is actually quite beautiful, like here."

As Nanon Ugetsu spoke, she casually pointed to the twinkling Tokyo Tower in the distance.

"Although the city is quite noisy, it's lucky to occasionally find a place like this where no one will bother you."

Ruo Ye Mu didn't interrupt, but every word was heard clearly.

Given her family background, it's not that she's never traveled abroad or visited other countries; it's just that she's never seriously listened to anyone talk so much about "other places."

The wind ruffled her hair, and a few strands clung to her lips.

Ruo Ye Mu gently brushed her hair aside, and a few soft strands accidentally brushed against Nan Yun Yu Yue's cheek.

Nan Yun Yuyue had just finished talking about the world and turned to look at her.

Wakaba Mutsu said softly, "Together."

These words seemed to have exhausted all her strength, followed by a long silence.

The two of them just sat there quietly.

Time passes minute by minute.

The city lights danced in the distance, and the red light of Tokyo Tower still shone brightly.

Ruoye Mu turned her head to look at Nan Yun Youyue, who was sitting next to her.
