Never Leave, Never Abandon: Okay, since there is a reason, then I won’t be mad at you anymore… Just kidding, why would I be mad at you~

What's in Heaven: Tao Rusu and I just went to the Black Water Martial Arts School.

Never Leave: ... Cat Head Doubt.JPG

What's in Heaven: And then there's a Crazy Thursday event.

System message: 'Never Leave' transfers 50 to you

Never leave or abandon: Don’t bother others. If you don’t have enough money, you can tell me. Miss Ruoli has enough pocket money.

System message: Received 50, transferred to pocket money

What's in Heaven: It's not what you think - there is a competition here, and I won a prize, which is Su Ruoji's diary essay.

Never Give Up: My sister's diary? Ah, she seems to have a high-level membership in the Blackwater Martial Arts School, eh? Why is her diary there?

What is in the sky?: I don’t know about this either. Anyway, I got the things back. But it’s getting late now, so I won’t go to the hospital. I’ll bring the things with me when I visit you in the hospital tomorrow.

Never Leave Me: Don’t bother with that. I’ll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Let’s wait and see when I get home.

What's in Heaven: Discharged from hospital so soon?

Never give up: Of course, a lovely girl’s heart can do anything!

Time passed quickly while we were chatting. Before I knew it, I looked up and saw that it was already dark and the moon had risen.

Bai Yu had to repeat "Let's talk about it next time" three times and "No need to reply" twice before the information terminal finally stopped and the pattern on her buttocks stopped shaking.

But just when the screen was about to turn off, a red number punctuation mark 1 suddenly appeared on the icon.

Bai Yu's obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in at that moment, and he clicked on it and saw... Oh, it turned out to be a member push from the Xixi Space Camp, so it was okay.

When he got home, he stretched, took a shower immediately, changed into a new pair of underwear, and felt much refreshed.

I returned to the warehouse, eating some freshly heated steamed buns with some Fuling pickled mustard greens.

Although the weather is hot, the temperature inside this warehouse remains constant.

It was also because of the effect of a rare item sent back by Bai Yu’s grandfather Bai Pojun.

The barometric stabilizer—a rare and frequently used item during flight, a staple of Western air knights centuries ago—was manufactured by the Moen Workshop, crafted by just three exceptional craftsmen. It officially entered service at the Red Mary Skyport in 1893. Thirty years later, it was stolen and resold, ultimately becoming an antique. After restoration, it still functions as it did in the past—stabilizing both air pressure and temperature, eliminating the need for breathing difficulties, decompression, or hypothermia. Small inscriptions are engraved on the back: Moen Workshop, quality you can trust.

Even air conditioning costs can be saved.

Sitting cross-legged on the yoga mat, Bai Yu raised his hand and brushed the air in front of him, and flaming words appeared.

A roller similar to the one in Hearthstone appeared in sight, rolling continuously, and finally stopped...'Equally matched opponent'... No, it actually passed by.

[An even stronger enemy]

Bai Yu was stunned. A strong enemy? A Wuming ghost... Could Yu Gong win? Was the opponent too strong?

If you lose, can you go back in time and have a rematch?

No explanation, just a line of hot text.

……

My name is Tetsuya Tsutsui.

Thorough and thorough.

Thirty-nine years old, middle-aged.

I am the general manager of a company with 1,300 employees. Every day when I go to work, I inspect the company and all the employees bow to me. They respect me as a god.

I am a successful person and my life is a template for success.

I was born in an ordinary working-class family, but I understood the importance of money and power since I was a child, because my family was crushed by the machine of power.

When I was young, I practiced swordsmanship very hard and was accepted into a kendo school through various means. At the age of sixteen, I won the Kendo Championship in the Kanto region and became famous overnight... Of course, I used some unorthodox methods, such as forcing my opponents to withdraw from the competition... But winning is winning, and I don't think there is anything shameful. The most important thing is to use all means to win.

The championship title is just a stepping stone for me to achieve the next step.

By collaborating with some elders, I successfully made it onto a list and passed the university test with the help of my connections and extra points... Although I couldn't get into the University of Tokyo, the next-tier universities could still meet my needs.

During my college years, I actively searched for prey and successfully found a potential daughter of a wealthy company. I started dating her and got married quickly after graduation, which allowed me to gain my initial status.

Then they use this status, connections and power to seek a higher position for themselves.

I succeeded and built the Hashimoto Group with over a thousand employees. At the age of thirty-five, my life reached a new level.

I plan to take a further step in the future. Perhaps I need to participate in politics, but to enter the shogunate, I still need the recognition of the samurai family... The Hashimoto family's foundation is too shallow to bear the responsibility.

I searched for a long time and chose a good martial arts family as a partner.

The cooperation has been a pleasure. In just three years, I have felt that I am getting closer and closer to my goal. I often take out the speech I gave when I took office to motivate myself, and imagine that one day I will be able to take on an appointment in the shogunate.

But, I was betrayed.

The bubble burst, assets collapsed, companies became indebted, and credit went bankrupt...all in just three months.

All the connections I had accumulated in the past were useless. I was abandoned like a piece of used toilet paper!

This is a game.

This pack of devouring wolves treated me like a lamb! After squeezing every last bit of value out of me, all they promised me was nothing more than a false title!

These treacherous Wu family wolves all deserve to die, all deserve to die! Not a single one of them will survive!

The huge leverage and debt meant that I was destined to be unable to pay off my debts or escape in my lifetime. Debt collectors and employees who I encouraged to donate almost all of their assets were frantically searching for my whereabouts.

I knew my life was completely over.

I dug out an antique knife from a box that I had bought a long time ago.

I killed my wife and children while they were sleeping.

Even if they survive, their lives will be filled with suffering. Rather than being chased by debtors with no way to escape, it is better to die early and find relief.

I held this ancient sword named Hu Che. When it cut into the human body, it was as if it was absorbed into the flesh and blood without any sense of pause.

I must be crazy. I actually saw this knife laughing. It laughed so happily and freely.

Then I saw myself in the mirror… that familiar yet strange man, covered in blood, gripping the blade, caressing it tenderly, his face filled with fascination as he exclaimed, “How beautiful.”

Chapter 74 Demon Sword

Fuso, Kyoto, Minami's attic.

A figure rushed to the front of the attic, and two guards held up their sticks and said, "No way through!"

The sky was gloomy, and it was already a cloudy day with thunder rumbling in the sky.

"Let me in."

The girl stood in front of the attic, staring at the two guards with displeasure in her eyes: "Awu, Gengji, you dare to stop me?"

"Ms. Shiori, please don't embarrass us..."

The two Wu family guards looked slightly embarrassed, not daring to take action nor to move aside.

"Let! Me! In!"

Minami Shizhi repeated it again, her tone anxious and resentful: "My sister hasn't eaten a grain of rice for more than four days. Do you really want to starve her to death? Even if you made a mistake, you can't do this! If you are afraid of Grandpa's blame, just throw the responsibility to me!"

The guard looked helpless: "How could we have the courage...but the master of the house won't allow us to pass."

It is common knowledge among everyone in the Nan family that Nan Shihui dotes on Nan Shizhi. This second young lady is destined to become the head of the Nan family in the future because she is extremely talented and has inherited the heroic bloodline of the Nan ancestors. It is impossible for her to marry out and she must stay in the family to inherit the family business.

Therefore, the education methods of the two young ladies of the Minami family are completely different. The eldest daughter receives a strict education, but will serve as a bride and a bond of interest; while Minami Shiori can go out to school freely, and even Minami Shiteru will not impose too many restrictions on her, but let her be free.

Minami Shiori is also aware of this, so she often deliberately acts arrogantly and spoiled to tease her family members in order to buy some breathing space for her sister.

She has always sympathized with Mahiru and couldn't understand why her family treated her blood relative so harshly.

The guards refused to move aside, but Minami Shiori still broke into the attic with the rice balls she made herself.

Walking all the way to the top of the attic, Minami Shiori saw Minami Mahiru, who looked haggard.

Although the latter looked haggard and weak, he still sat upright. Although he had not washed or brushed his teeth for several days, his quiet and dignified sitting posture made the deserted confinement room emit the refreshing fragrance of white plum blossoms.

Shiori usually acts arrogant and domineering, but she restrains herself much more in front of Minami Mahiru.

As a half-sister, she sympathizes with Mahiru and also envies her... She envies her calm demeanor and her unyielding spirit.

In the eyes of her family, she is just an unreasonable girl, while her sister is the face of the Nan family and a real lady from a noble family.

Mahiru had her eyes closed, having obviously heard the noise. She frowned and whispered, "How did you get in here? Genji and Takeru will be punished. I've told you many times to consider the consequences of your actions and not just act on your own whims."

"Sister, have something to eat. I brought some rice balls. Eat a little to recover your strength..." Shiori skipped the topic and directly stated her intention: "I made this myself. Although it doesn't look very good, it's filled with salmon and plums. Here is also hot miso soup and an egg roll."

"Thank you...but I can't eat it."

"Why are you so stubborn? If you continue to starve, your body won't be able to take it!"

"I can't bear it, but I have to continue." Mahiru said softly: "I don't want to be this bride. I don't want to marry someone I don't know. I can't accept that I have no choice... This is my only ability to resist."

"I don't understand this." Shiori clenched her fingers and retorted loudly, "I just understand that if resistance means hurting yourself, then it's wrong... If you want to fight, you should choose a smarter and more moderate way. This way, you will only torture yourself and may not necessarily change Grandpa's mind."

Mahiru wasn't convinced, but still a little surprised: "Where did you learn all this from... finally have time to read a book instead of just wandering around?"

Shiori sighed, "Sister, I've been studying at Meiji High School for over two years. Don't treat me like a child. Although I love to play, I haven't fallen behind in my basic studies. It's just that unlike you, I don't take etiquette classes or various trainings... I still like to read in my spare time."

"High school... it's great," Mahiru murmured, her tone filled with envy and a sense of longing. "It must be very lively there, with lots of people your age. We can sit around the table and talk about interesting things together, go to class together, go home together, and go for walks together. You must be having a great time."

Shiori didn't know how to answer. She felt a little sad and said, "It's just average. Actually, it's not as good as my sister thinks."

"That's something I can't touch," Mahiru said. "I can't touch it now, and I won't be able to touch it in the future. These experiences are destined to be absent in my life. So... Shiori, we are different, destined to take different paths. You can live as you wish, but for me, just surviving is already difficult."

As she spoke, her tone suddenly became cold and decisive, becoming indifferent and distant: "We are sisters, but our life experiences are too different. You and I are destined to not understand each other. You don't understand why I resist, and I don't understand why you think fighting is easy..."

"I'm not...!" Shiori wanted to explain anxiously.

Mahiru interrupted calmly, "I'm not blaming you or complaining about anything. Everyone has their own destiny. I've already let it go a little. The rest, I'll leave to time."

Shizhi only understood half of what she heard: "Sister, now that you've come to terms with it, can you at least have a bite?"

Mahiru shook her head. "These are two different things. I can be more open-minded, but that doesn't mean I have to do things your way... This is my stubbornness, and it's also my only remaining self-respect. As your sister, I don't want you to show me sympathy or pity."

Nan Shizhi stood up angrily: "Why are you so stubborn!"

Mahiru smiled quietly, "Because I can't see."

"For me, there is nothing more terrifying and profound than this darkness."

"I'm always walking on the edge of a cliff, and I need to be careful not to trip and get hurt by all kinds of things. If I didn't have enough courage and stubbornness, would I still be alive today?"

She chuckled softly and self-deprecatingly: "I also wonder what's the point of living like this, but I have to hold on to some hope..."

Minami Shiori listened quietly to Mahiru's words.

She whispered, "I understand the reason, but... why don't you want to eat?"

Minami Mahiru paused, tilted her face slightly, and sighed softly, "There's really nothing much to say to a hot-blooded idiot like you. I told you I won't eat that rice ball you made that looks like SpongeBob SquarePants!"

"Even if she's my sister, that's too much! This rice ball looks like Mr. Krabs!"

……

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and electric snakes were rolling and twisting in the clouds.

The gatekeeper in front of the Nan family's gate noticed a man staggering towards them in the dark sky.

"People ahead, stop... This is a private residence ahead, do not trespass."

The guard scolded.

He noticed that the other party was staggering towards him, and his movements looked very strange, like a drunkard.

As the other party approached, the guard saw that he was holding a sword in his hand... The sword is a symbol of the samurai. If you carry a sword on the street without a sword order, you will be taken away by the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning.
