Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 2294 Tonight, the bar is on me, and the bill will be on my clone (Hanabi)'s tab!

"Since this clone of mine likes you so much, then I'll give her to you. Don't be shy," Kurumi Tokisaki said.

"what?"

"Why are you so surprised? Didn't you say you have a crush on him? In that case, I'll grant your wish. Anyway, I'm penniless right now. You're welcome." Seeing the confusion and shock in her clone's eyes, Tokisaki Kurumi smiled and said.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Luo is indeed captivating... so generous that it's captivating.

The water in the long river summoned by the opponent could even replace spiritual power, allowing Tokisaki Kurumi to use the Twelfth Bullet, which was particularly tempting for her.

Perhaps after learning everything about this person, she might indeed fall in love with him in the future, but Tokisaki Kurumi and Chen Luo are not familiar with each other at all right now.

Anyway, Chen Luo said he would accept anything, and Tokisaki Kurumi just happens to be the kind of person who wouldn't compromise herself.

If that's the case... then why not just entrust your future self to Chen Luo?

If you're so good, then you do it.

"Huh? But..." Hanabi was almost dumbfounded.

Oh no, this time I got caught up in the fun myself.

"What's there to 'but' about? Since you really are from the future, I will naturally respect your choice," Kurumi Tokisaki said calmly.

If, as Kurumi Tokisaki said, "if..."

For Tokisaki Kurumi, who possesses the ability to travel through time, if she suddenly encountered someone who looked exactly like her, perhaps a little more mature, and claimed to be from the future, Tokisaki Kurumi would naturally be very accepting of such a person.

If the other party offers her some kind of strategy for conquering future challenges, Tokisaki Kurumi will gladly accept it. She will also gladly help the other party if they need her assistance. However, if the other party asks her to seduce a particular boy, Tokisaki Kurumi will politely decline.

So the best solution is that since your future self wants a man, then let your future self go find that man.

What does your future self's preferences have to do with your present self?

"How about that? Stunned, aren't you?" Chen Luo looked at Hanabi, who was disguised as Tokisaki Kurumi's future clone, as if watching a comedy.

"..." Hanabi looked helpless.

Hanabi admits that Kurumi Tokisaki's choice was indeed baffling... It's unrealistic to try to understand a real person through Baidu Encyclopedia and watching anime.

However, the encyclopedia entry on the group network is still commendable, especially since it even provides Kurumi Tokisaki's measurements, which is a delight for those who love the original setting.

"Don't be so surprised. Maybe my future self put you in this bar for this very reason," Kurumi Tokisaki said.

Kurumi Tokisaki was quite understanding of this clone's lack of understanding, since manipulating time always makes it easy to create new timelines.

That's why Kurumi Tokisaki wouldn't accept the suggestion that was implied by this clone.

[This Kurumi Tokisaki is exceptionally easy to fool because she's so accepting... but she can only fool her for a short time. Once Kurumi sees the anime Date A Live, she might instantly understand everything.]

“…A very reasonable guess.” Hanabi nodded in agreement, not only because of Tokisaki Kurumi’s guess.

The guess about Tokisaki Kurumi is very convincing... provided that Hanabi really is Tokisaki Kurumi.

"So how much time value can she obtain to power Zafkiel?" Kurumi Tokisaki turned to Chen Luo and asked.

"This... is worthless."

"..." Tokisaki Kurumi was slightly moved, then turned her head to look at her clone.

Kurumi Tokisaki never expected her clone to be so weak.

But at first glance, it actually looks quite tempting.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm Kurumi Tokisaki from the future. Chen Luo and I aren't familiar yet, or rather, we just met. Isn't it normal that she doesn't accept me?" Hanabi shrugged.

"This..." Kurumi Tokisaki felt Chen Luo release the restrictions and the angel Zafkiel, who was now back behind her and filled with immense power, look at Chen Luo and couldn't help but lick her lips.

This is so tempting!

It would be such a shame not to be able to take a bite.

My future self is such a loser. He arrived earlier than me and knows Chen Luo better than I do, yet I still failed to win him over.

"What's with that expression? If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself? But I suggest you don't be too curious about Chen Luo, or you might get caught up in it. I'm beyond saving, but you might still be salvageable," Hanabi advised kindly.

"...Why do you say that? Does he have any unacceptable flaws?" Kurumi Tokisaki couldn't help but ask.

Although Tokisaki Kurumi seems confused right now, this is actually the most relaxed day she's had since learning the whole truth and wanting to kill the Origin Spirit, because she can now travel back 30 years.

Therefore, Kurumi Tokisaki couldn't help but feel a bit gossipy.

Kurumi Tokisaki had a lot of faith in her judgment. She wasn't accepting him now because they weren't familiar with each other, but if he was of questionable character, it would be better to cut off contact sooner rather than later.

"Heartbreaker," Hanabi said without hesitation.

“Hey, that already involves personal attacks,” Chen Luo retorted.

"So who is your girlfriend now?" Hanabi asked in return.

"This……"

"The most recent time you kissed another girl, was it the girlfriend you're talking about?" Fireworks didn't give Chen Luo time to react and immediately launched a series of attacks.

"Ah, this..." Chen Luo hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Being a womanizer is indeed a big flaw." Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't help but start scrutinizing Chen Luo.

This guy is offering me so much that I can't possibly refuse, but if I'm unfaithful...

"You're not allowed to talk about him like that." Hanabi suddenly glared angrily at Tokisaki Kurumi.

"Didn't you say he was a womanizer?" Tokisaki Kurumi opened her mouth.

“I can say that, but you can’t. You don’t know anything yet, you’re not qualified to say he’s a womanizer, or rather, in my opinion, he is qualified to be a womanizer,” Hanabi said.

"Huh?" Apart from the day she learned the truth, Kurumi Tokisaki had never been so surprised in such a short period of time as she was today.

"Can we stop talking about this?" Chen Luo was starting to lose his temper.

“We really shouldn’t keep talking about this… Okay, okay, darling, I know you’re not actually a womanizer, you’re just not good at saying no.” Huahuo patted Chen Luo’s shoulder to comfort him.

"you……"

"That's not quite right... Come to think of it, it's all those philanderers' fault! Right, darling?" Hanabi was satisfied with her explanation and nodded.

"Why do you say everything? You've really gone too far." Chen Luo wanted to give Hanabi an over-the-shoulder throw, but he was afraid of scaring Tokisaki Kurumi next to him.

"Just kidding, darling, you're not angry, are you?" Hanabi suddenly looked at Chen Luo with a pitiful expression.

"..." Tokisaki Kurumi watched from the side, her eyes wide with amazement.

Very well, that's definitely me, being such a green tea bitch.

Oh no, I mean, she's so good at flirting.

"Alright, alright, let's get back to the main topic. For my sake, darling, can you give my past self some more time?" Hanabi said.

"Payment." Chen Luo spread his hands out to Hua Huo, asking for payment.

Kurumi Tokisaki was also watching Hanabi, wondering what kind of reward her future self would be able to offer.

“Darling, just give me the time value. The Paradise Coins will be deducted from my account,” Hanabi said.

"Are you serious?" Chen Luo asked again to confirm.

"Of course I'm serious." Hanabi nodded.

Hanabi did this in order to pay protection money.

Hanabi wasn't sure how long her disguise could fool Kurumi Tokisaki. If Kurumi Tokisaki could see the Date A Live anime, she might be able to see through her disguise.

Therefore, Hanabi needs to gain Tokisaki Kurumi's trust as much as possible, including but not limited to paying protection money.

In this way, if Hanabi's disguise is truly exposed, Kurumi Tokisaki probably won't be angry, considering she's already paid protection money. She might even continue to cover up the lie for him, knowing his predicament.

Joy is not simply about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.

Just like how Chen Luo always allowed the Star God of Joy to watch and have fun.

"What are Paradise Coins?" Kurumi Tokisaki asked.

“A special currency that can be obtained by killing monsters and by any action that terminates the soul activity of another person,” Hanabi said.

"But if Paradise Coins are deducted from your account, wouldn't that be my future Paradise Coins being deducted?" Kurumi Tokisaki suddenly asked.

"Hmm...that makes sense. Here's what we'll do, darling, help me enchant my weapon, and I'll go farm some Paradise coins. Anyway, put it on my tab first, and I'll pay you back later. If I can't pay you back, I'll just compensate you with myself." Fireworks winked at Chen Luo and said.

"You want to eat and take some too? You're dreaming." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Hua Huo.

"Then... I'll help too?" Kurumi Tokisaki lowered her head and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"No, no need. You have more important tasks, don't you? Leave the earning of Paradise Coins to exchange for Time Points to me," Hanabi said.

"Well... thank you for your help." Tokisaki Kurumi nodded.

“What’s the trouble? We’re all alone. It’s no big deal to sacrifice something for that wish.” Hanabi said as she handed Chen Luo two flintlock pistols, one long and one short, that she had made with the power of joy.

Seeing how deeply engrossed Huo Huo was in the scene, Chen Luo imbued the two guns with a kind of spirituality, giving them a touch of humanization.

"Cheng Hui, 1 Paradise Gold Coins," Chen Luo said.

"Just an enchantment costs 1 Paradise Coins?" Hanabi exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course not. I mean, the enchantment will help Kurumi Tokisaki gain more time points, and the reward is 1 Paradise Coins," Chen Luo said.

"..." Hanabi nodded helplessly.

This price isn't high, but it's not low either. If you convert it to credits, it's hundreds of millions of credits. However, earning Paradise Coins in the bar isn't difficult.

"Hanabi, can you help me return some Paradise Coins? Considering you've watched a lot of fun." Hanabi had no doubt that Chen Luo really intended to take the 1 Paradise Coins, so in order to lighten her burden, she turned to look at the Pleasure Star God disguised as Hanabi.

"Hmm, what does it have to do with me? I'm just here to watch the fun." 'Fireworks' paused for a moment before quickly shaking her head.

"Alright," Hanabi said helplessly.

This guy really has no intention of helping at all.

Never mind, the fact that it can turn into fireworks is itself a form of help.

As for Lezi Shen, don't expect him to be very reliable.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

"Huh? Hanabi is here?" Yukari Yakumo, who had just entered the bar, was stunned for a moment before being overjoyed.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang again, but this time it was Hanabi who rushed out the door.

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut, and Yukari Yakumo, who had just taken out the mirror to catch Hanabi but was too late, was very disappointed.

Yukari Yakumo didn't have any wishes she wanted to fulfill, so her only sense of participation in the event to capture Hanabi was that she planned to sell her wish for money, so she didn't pursue it.

"And this is..." Soon, Yukari Yakumo's gaze fell on Tokisaki Kurumi and Hanabi, who looked exactly alike except for slight differences in their clothes.

Yukari Yakumo recognized Kurumi Tokisaki, but was worried about alerting her and disturbing Chen Luo's acceptance of the commission, so she asked this question.

"I am Kurumi Tokisaki, this is my real body, and I am a clone from the future. We both arrived at the bar today." Before Kurumi Tokisaki could even confirm whether Yukari Yakumo was friend or foe, Hanabi stated directly.

"Kurumi Tokisaki from the past and the future? That's really interesting."

Yukari Yakumo knew that Kurumi Tokisaki had the ability to create clones, but it was quite novel for such a clone to enter a bar and then encounter the original body from the past.

Sure enough, you can see anything in a bar.

You can even see me looking at myself in the bar.

"So, you know me? If you're from the future, then I'm curious whether Chen Luo from the future has successfully transcended." Yukari Yakumo suddenly revealed an interested look.

“Of course I know you, Yakumo Yukari, but whether Chen Luo has transcended... I don’t know. For some reason, I don’t seem to have any memory of that.” Hanabi covered her forehead in distress.

"Is this the price of accessing the past from the future?" Yukari Yakumo wasn't sure, but she couldn't be bothered to care.

Since Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't satisfy her curiosity, there was naturally no need for Yakumo Yukari to continue the conversation, as she had more pressing matters to attend to.

"Chen Luo, give me some powerful blessings. I'm going to try and break through my talent," said Yukari Yakumo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Sure, but have you finished your work?"

"Work? It's all done. After your group of Paradise Adventurers passed the first day of the novice period, they quickly learned the Multiplication Detonation Technique, and then they started to become self-destructing maniacs... Therefore, the progress in clearing out the hundreds of millions of antimatter legions has become very fast," Yukari Yakumo said.

A while ago, Yukari Yakumo accepted a commission from Chen Luo to help him supervise the new adventurers who had just become Paradise Adventurers. The commission was to have them kill hundreds of millions of antimatter legion soldiers obtained from the Star God of Joy. In return, Chen Luo would give Yukari Yakumo 1% of Paradise Gold as a reward.

This is a lucrative job.

However, because it was such a lucrative job, Yukari Yakumo didn't intend to keep it all for herself; she shared some Paradise Coins with her friends.
