In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

Could it be that Yukinoshita has gained intelligence?

No, no, no, using that word is a bit impolite...

It should be said that Yukinoshita has 'grown up'.

"Yeah, and they even poured all the wine on Yi-kun," Mai Sakurajima added.

Mai Sakurajima knew without even thinking what the two of them had done in the living room: nothing more than finding an excuse to have a heart-to-heart talk, and then kissing... or something like that.

After all, if they were to do *that*... it would be quite noisy, and she would inevitably be woken up.

Speaking of which, if we're going to do that... the best course of action right now is to prepare to help Bao Shi... right?

Mai Sakurajima thought to herself, without considering doing things like Rio Futaba did under the influence of alcohol that she wouldn't normally dare to do.

Because Mai Sakurajima herself doesn't really like drinking, and she does whatever she wants, including expressing care and encouragement in a good way.

"Eh? Did I pour the wine on A-Yi?" Shuangye looked embarrassed, unsure of where to look.

"Actually, you didn't do it." Chen Yi waved his hand.

"That is...?"

"It's Kroos. She couldn't resist the alcohol and she really likes to get drunk and act crazy."

Chen Yi began to list Kelukai's crimes in front of her.

“Commander…” Kroka couldn’t refute, her cheeks flushed slightly.

It might be from anger.

"So, I still don't recommend bringing alcoholic beverages home in the future. If you want any juice or soda, I can try to make it."

Chen Yi clapped his hands and gave a summary.

P.S.: The order of the dynasties is wrong! What a joke!

Grade 11: Chapter 189 Contract

Chapter 190

The next day, Sunday, Yukinoshita Haruno invited Chen Yi to her home.

She is always very proactive and will not put things off until the last minute.

The reasons were that I had advised Yukinoshita not to be reckless last time, and secondly, I was interested in him personally.

Of course, although Yukino Yukinoshita didn't say the reason behind it, Chen Yi could guess the general idea.

Chen Yi deliberately parked the motorcycle in a quiet alley where few people passed by, shrunk it down, and had Kroos carry it before slowly walking to the entrance of the Yukinoshita Mansion.

Yukinoshita Haruno greeted the sun here under the bright sunshine.

"Chen-kun arrived very early," Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

"Being on time is basic courtesy."

It was Yukino Yukinoshita who surprised him. He had arrived more than forty minutes early, yet he still saw Yukino Yukinoshita. He wondered how long she had been waiting here.

"Let me take you inside."

Today, Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't acting up like she did when they were chatting online, which made Chen Yi feel a little uneasy.

Crossing the corridor and sliding doors, Chen Yi entered a main hall filled with Japanese style.

The space was spacious, and most of the furnishings were exquisite, but not luxurious.

The head of the Yukinoshita family, Lady Yukinoshita, sat in a chair, dressed in a traditional kimono, silently admiring the summer flowers in the courtyard, without making a move.

"Lady Yukinoshita, good afternoon. This is just a small gift to express my respect."

"Mr. Chen? You've arrived. Please have a seat here." Mrs. Yukinoshita turned around, a social smile on her face.

Chen Yi sat down in the guest seat and observed his surroundings in a way that was not easily noticed.

"Yonai, go and get some good tea leaves and brew a pot of tea," Lady Yukinoshita ordered, making no attempt to conceal her scrutiny of Chen Yi from head to toe.

"Mr. Chen is so young, yet he is truly a handsome and talented man."

Lady Yukinoshita praised him, glancing at Haruno's actions without changing her tone or demeanor.

Her spirit is exactly like that of Miss Yukinoshita, but she carries a dignity accumulated over the years that Miss Yukinoshita lacks.

And the aura that those in positions of authority accumulate around them.

Chen Yi commented in his mind.

"Thank you for the compliment." Chen Yi's tone and expression were neither humble nor arrogant.

"Speaking of which, I want to thank you for protecting Yukino during our trip to Izu last time, and also for stopping Yukino's reckless actions a few days ago. My daughter was studying at the University of Tokyo before, and she's just returned to Japan, so her sense of danger is a bit hazy. I'd like to ask you to take good care of her during her high school years."

Lady Yukinoshita spoke very politely, and Chen Yi listened carefully, not sensing any probing or malice hidden in her words.

It's also possible that he was too clever to recognize it.

"It was just a small favor."

Chen Yi knew the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you make, so he was very restrained in the length of the conversation.

"I know Mr. Chen is from Dongda University. This is Da Hong Pao tea from Wuyi Mountain. A friend of mine sent it to me. I wonder if it suits your taste?" Mrs. Yukinoshita gently picked up the cup.

"Thank you for your trouble, Madam." Chen Yi picked up the cup and glanced at the color of the soup.

The orange-red color had a slight brownish tinge, and the water temperature and concentration were just right.

"Well, there's one more thing, which I suppose is something the Yukinoshita family owes us."

The silence was broken by Lady Yukinoshita in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"When I was discussing family matters with Yang Nai, I accidentally learned about some unpleasant experiences between you two."

Oh, you mean when he first met Haruno, Haruno sent someone to follow him?

Chen Yi looked up at the other person and found that Lady Yukinoshita's smile had disappeared, and her expression was unreadable.

It didn't feel like an apology, nor did it feel like indifference; it had a sense of social interaction and calculation in it.

Here comes the main event.

Chen Yi became extremely cautious.

"My daughter Yang Nai was in the wrong in this matter, so what kind of compensation does Mr. Chen hope to receive?"

Lady Yukinoshita's tone remained unchanged, but her demeanor suddenly became unpredictable.

"I've already received the compensation, so there's no need to mention it again," Chen Yi said with a smile.

"However, the next head of the Yukinoshita family has not offered an explanation for his mistakes or paid the corresponding price, which may affect the Yukinoshita family's reputation..."

Lady Yukinoshita picked up the cup, her eyes seeming to narrow slightly.

"You flatter me, Madam," Chen Yi replied after organizing his thoughts.

"As I just said, the compensation for that incident... was already given at the time. For me, that matter is over."

Lady Yukinoshita looked at him with great interest.

"The focus is no longer on compensation. If we put ourselves in her shoes, I can understand Yukinoshita's feelings. Her younger sister just returned from Tokyo University and met a boy with a somewhat strange background. Out of a desire to protect her, she used her family's resources to investigate, which I think is perfectly understandable."

“But in reality, it’s quite rude,” Mrs. Yukinoshita defined.

"..."

Indeed, Chen Yi agreed, but it was clear that he couldn't say that on the surface.

"I am very grateful for Mr. Chen's understanding. As for what Mr. Chen said about having received satisfactory compensation... I will take that as true. However, the Yukinoshita family still needs to make some more formal compensation, otherwise it will really damage Yukinoshita's commercial reputation."

"...Then thank you, Mrs. Yukinoshita."

Unable to find a way to refuse, and after confirming that this wasn't a trap, Chen Yi had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

Although he had no idea what he had received.

At this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno took out a bag and placed it on the table.

"?"

"Mr. Chen, this is a gift from the Yukinoshita family on behalf of me. It's not very expensive, but it's a token of my appreciation."

Is there a second level?

Chen Yi's back was covered in cold sweat.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Chen. Just consider it a small gift from a mother to her daughter's friend."

Lady Yukinoshita waved her hand, and Chen Yi could see from her relaxed expression that was not feigned.

"Well... thank you." Chen Yi reached out and took the bag, placing it at his feet.

It seems a bit heavy.

It's perfectly balanced; I have no idea what's inside...

It shouldn't be something vulgar like gold bars.

Chen Yi looked up, waiting for Lady Yukinoshita's next move, but she didn't speak for a long time.

ended?

"Mr. Chen, would you like to stay for lunch? The servants have prepared a luncheon." Mrs. Yukinoshita suddenly spoke up.

"Thank you, but no need. I have things to do this afternoon," Chen Yi said, pretending to think for a moment before declining.

Putting aside the fact that the level of competition at the dinner party has escalated to an unprecedented level... is lunch already prepared before 10 a.m.? It's clearly a veiled invitation to leave.

Chen Yi, of course, wouldn't fall for that trick.

After saying goodbye and leaving Yukinoshita's house, Chen Yi realized how far-fetched his performance had been.

They're still inexperienced. Maybe they'll be able to handle things after a few more years in the workforce.

Chen Yi's summary.

So what is this gift?

Chen Yi was curious, but he could only go home and check it out first.

PY: "Don't you want to travel? It's not up to you!"

Reporter: Ms. Lillie, you said that when you became the King of the Hill, beat up the league champions, and kicked the Rainbow Rockets, it was all done by someone claiming to be a player who controlled your body, and had nothing to do with you personally?

Lillie: That's right! I'm innocent. That guy kept muttering things like "strength," "side quests," "leveling up," "rewards," and "save points"—things I couldn't understand—and then he controlled my body to do whatever he wanted!

Reporter: I see. So, does Miss Lillie know where that mysterious person who claims to be a player is?

Lillie: I know, at my house.

Second-year high school student: Chapter 190 Visit

Chapter 189

"Yukinoshita-san is here too."

Chen Yi glanced at the dashing Yukino Yukinoshita beside him, and before he knew it, he was kicked by Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Hey, focus."

So, is the special training just about getting beaten up? I can't expect to learn everything on my own while getting beaten up.

Chen Yi turned around and blocked Hiratsuka Shizuka's subsequent movements, inwardly complaining.

"So why don't you go and beat up Yukinoshita instead of just beating me up?" Chen Yi tried to use the momentum to his advantage to attack his lower body, but was nimbly dodged.

"Enough with the nonsense." Hiratsuka Shizuka's breathing was steady as she looked at Chen Yi with a slightly unusual expression.

I didn't realize this guy was so good at fighting! He defended against most of the attacks?

In reality, it relies on the assistance of the left eye's vision. When the target detection mark is activated, the opponent's movements appear to slow down.

"What I want to know is..." Chen Yi asked again, forcing Hiratsuka Shizuka to stop.

"What's the point of this kind of unarmed combat... Isn't it all about practicing proficiency with various weapons when dealing with fakes?"
