Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Why are you so nervous? The financial report shows that you did a good job and lived up to his expectations." Mahiru comforted.

Minami Shiori also said: "And he won't care at all... Even if you fail, there will be someone to cover for you."

"I just want to prove my worth." Shiromine Naomi snorted and immediately lowered her head: "I'm not nervous because of him, but because... this time, you will bring several girls from Daxia, right? Among them is his..."

Nan Shizhi pointed out directly: "The mistress is seeing the legal wife, so she is so nervous that her legs are weak?"

"Come on, she's a famous lady from Da Xia, of course I would be... nervous." Shiromine Naomi didn't make excuses, but stated the fact.

When facing powerful countries, small countries with few people either behave in an extremely blind way and confidence, or behave cautiously and submissively... The former is reflected in the comments of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council on YouTube that are so arrogant that they obliterate the truth; and the latter is reflected in the fact that in the United Nations conferences, some diplomats and ambassadors of small countries will look at the ambassador of the big country closest to them. If the other party does not stand up, they will have to wait for a while even if they want to stand up.

Although Naomi is the eldest daughter of the Shirafine family, the Shirafine family has long been in decline and is even weaker than the Minami family. She herself is a lady from the Yakuza, and in Fuso, her social status is only slightly better than that of an ordinary person born in the mud.

Even though she is now wealthy and even though the Baifeng Group is in charge of the food and drink of thousands of households, she still cannot change her origin. In the eyes of modern people, she, as a daughter of the underworld, seems to be very important. But putting aside the title and looking at her essence, she is actually the daughter of a local gangster leader, the same as the daughters of some local gangs in ancient times. Her social evaluation is lower than that of girls from decent families.

Naomi looked at the two sisters who looked calm and said, "Aren't you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous." Mahiru smiled gently, her face as white as a girl's was full of luster and elasticity, as if it had been soaked in moisturizing essence.

"I have nothing to be nervous about." Minami Shiori said calmly. If anyone could stay out of trouble in the Shura Field, it would definitely be her... She had never thought about snatching a man, she just wanted to follow her sister and drink the soup.

Amemiya Mahiru comforted him, "They are from Daxia. They are here as guests. We are the hosts, so we can't show our weakness, but we also can't be too overbearing. Since they are your people, they are also our sisters. We should treat them as relatives we meet for the first time."

"Don't worry, if they want to make things difficult for anyone, it will definitely be me. You just need to behave as generously and appropriately as usual. Show your courage in business negotiations and let them see that Yamato women are gentle on the outside but strong on the inside."

Shiromine Naomi said enviously, "As expected of Sister Mahiru."

Being able to treat newcomers so calmly is the true demeanor of a strong person.

Naomi subconsciously regarded herself and her group including Amamiya Mahiru as latecomers and third parties, so it was inevitable that she was at a disadvantage in momentum.

But Amamiya Mahiru doesn't think so. She doesn't think she is a third party who interferes.

At least after experiencing the hot spring night, she would never think so self-destructively again... After all, this was her first love, they were in love with each other, what else could she say? Not to mention Su Ruoli coming here, even if Jesus came here, he couldn't stop this everlasting love that transcended time and space.

Outside the car window, Daisuke Kiriyama of the Hakubine Group leaned over and said, "My two young ladies, Master Nan, the ship has docked, and the gentleman has arrived."

The car door was opened and Amamiya Mahiru walked out, her confidence naturally revealed in her smile.

"Go and greet them."

"Remember not to say the wrong thing later."

Kiriyama Daisuke and Wakashira Furu Tanaka Rokuro responded with a low "Hai".

The ship docked at the shore of Edo.

The members of the Baifeng Group were on high alert. All of them were elite members of the Baifeng family. They naturally knew of Bai Yu's existence and had seen him with their own eyes. They had great respect for the man who personally changed the outcome of the Baifeng Group's demise and lifted them all the way to the sky. If it weren't for Mr. Bai, the Baifeng Group would have been gone long ago.

Even if these people don't die, their ending will definitely not be good. They will either die directly or become ronin, dragging their broken bodies to fight on the streets, sacrificing their lives and blood just to get a bite of leftovers. How can they live in the sun like they do now, without worrying about being stabbed to death while sleeping in bed, or doing jobs that are despised by others, making money honestly and living with their spines straight like normal people.

If they were asked to give up their current comfortable and stable life and live a life on the edge of a knife, no one would agree. If they had no choice, who would want to fight and kill all day long? Swords are drawn only to protect oneself. After all, only a small number of lunatics can enjoy the pleasure of killing.

They stood on both sides of the road with their heads held high and their hands crossed behind their backs, like guards of honor waiting to be inspected.

The gangway was lowered. This ship was a commercial cargo ship. Only those with specific connections could take it to Fuso. There were only four passengers.

From the dull cabin, three attractive figures that made people unable to take their eyes off walked out one after another.

With the crisp sound of wooden clogs, three paper umbrellas were held up, and the sleeves of the well-cut printed kimonos were furisode.

They walked down the gangway. The one on the left was holding a white paper umbrella with a wave scene from Ukiyo-e painted on it. The one on the right was holding a red paper umbrella with bright red maple leaves and a beautiful woman on it, corresponding to the legend of the ghost girl Red Leaf. The one at the back was holding a cherry-colored paper umbrella. The umbrella was messy, but with fallen petals on it, and the theme was a dazzling hundred flowers.

Under the paper umbrellas are three beautiful girls, each with their own unique charm. They look graceful as they walk. Although they are wearing furisode kimonos, the temperament they exude is incompatible with that of Japanese women.

When Japanese women wear kimonos, because the skirts are very tight and the clothes are very heavy, they usually fold their hands in front of their bodies, then bend down slightly, lower their heads and walk quickly, without looking at passers-by; while these three people walked briskly while talking, treating the people around them as air, and they deliberately increased the width of the hem of their kimonos for ease of walking, and even their clogs were made of hard rubber, with only a few wooden boards on the soles of their feet. It sounds like that, but it is completely false.

It was basically a group of tourists from Daxia wearing fake kimonos.

Amemiya Mahiru was also slightly surprised. She had actually imagined Su Ruoli's appearance many times, but when she saw three stunning women at the same time, she couldn't tell who she was... and was she dressing like this on purpose?

She was somewhat shocked and didn't know how to react.

Minami Shiori was the same. She looked at the three people with a slightly strange look in her eyes. She felt that they were too eccentric... But considering their age, perhaps being eccentric was normal?

Naomi took a liking to it at first sight, and she felt that she really loved this kind of little surprise.

You will appreciate the kind of person you lack. For example, Boss Cao is so obsessed with Guan Yu because he is his dream model, tall and strong, loyal and righteous. Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money twice to get Guan Yu, although the second time he only got Guan Yu's hero fragments.

Although the three girls were very dazzling and attracted most of the attention as soon as they appeared, when the fourth person came on stage and walked down the gangway, after the first second of the footsteps, all eyes were focused on the gangway.

The same plain kimono and a spinning paper umbrella.

The paper umbrella is white, with four large characters written on it using the ink-splashing technique.

——Unparalleled in the world!

With the paper umbrella raised, Bai Yu looked at the welcoming ceremony and was quite surprised: "So many people?"

The head of the Shirafine Group shouted, "Welcome back, sir!"

The younger brothers around him all bowed their heads and bent their waists 90 degrees: "Welcome back, sir!"

"Ah... hello, hello." Bai Yu raised his hand and greeted awkwardly. This scene seemed a bit socially awkward no matter how he looked at it. Shit... I just came to Fuso to spend a vacation, why did I start with this scene of the return of the Dragon King? Should I perform the drama of 'daughter living in a doghouse, and in a rage, a hundred thousand soldiers charge' next?

Damn, my mouth seems a little crooked.

It has to be said that the Japanese's second-year syndrome is engraved in their genes. In the TV series "White Tower", the attending doctor walks briskly when he goes to check on the ward, followed by a dozen younger brothers in white clothes. The patients in the ward are like piglets waiting to be covered with quarantine-qualified pigs... If this were a large company, wouldn't the president be looked at and escorted in and out every day when he goes to work?

These members of the Baifeng group did not speak Fuso language, but Daxia language.

So the three girls next to them heard it very clearly.

Su Ruoli raised her eyebrows slightly...return, if it means welcome home, then it can be considered a provocation, right?

She looked with interest at the three women waiting at the end of the red carpet.

She can easily recognize who her long-admired pen pal is at first sight.

Soon the distance was shortened, and she extended her hand to the tall woman in front of her gracefully: "Hello, I'm Su Ruoli..."

Amamiya Mahiru secretly observed for a long time, and was glad that she didn't speak first. In fact, she was not sure who was her pen pal between 'Baihua Liaolan' and 'Surfing'. They looked very similar...

Hold with both hands.

"Hello, I'm Amamiya Mahiru."

Su Ruoli pulled out a small box from her sleeve and handed it over: "Since you came to Fusang so suddenly, I prepared a small gift for you. I hope you will like it."

Chapter 862: Dowry

When they first met, Su Ruoli brought a small gift, which seemed to be a good start.

The premise is that there is really a good gift in the box, rather than an object with special meaning.

"Thank you." Amamiya Mahiru took it, feeling a little surprised and delighted, and then took out a small box and handed it over: "It's just a small gift, just a token of my respect."

She was also prepared.

The two exchanged small gifts.

Even Tao Rusu and Su Ruoji received small gifts prepared by Amemiya Mahiru.

Oriental people are more reserved and do not have the habit of opening gift boxes in front of others to avoid embarrassment.

Then it was Bai Yu's turn.

He walked closer and saw three girls bending down to greet him at the same time: "お帰りなさいませ." (Welcome back)

This respectful attitude...

Tao Rusu watched and felt that he could learn something from it.

I think only in Fuso can one enjoy this level of treatment, and be completely regarded as the head of the family.

"Yeah, it's been a while since we last met." Bai Yu raised his hand and said, "Sorry for the wait."

"It wasn't long." Amamiya Mahiru took a step forward and took the paper umbrella from Bai Yu: "Sir, you look very handsome today."

"Really? It's worth it that we waited a whole day to make the clothes." The clothes of Bai Yu and the other four were all made temporarily, because there was no store selling kimonos in Daxia. Su Ruoli had an idea and found a local cosplay store, and paid the other party to rush the work.

The four of them handed over the paper umbrellas in their hands, which were taken and put away by the team members.

After getting on the extended version of the car and folding up the rear carpet, the convoy began to drive towards the Baifeng family's mansion.

Amamiya Mahiru began to introduce: "Although Edo has developed rapidly in recent years, it is far inferior to Daxia. Both the scenery and road conditions are far inferior. If you stay in a big hotel in the city center, you will be disturbed by the nearby construction. So please stay at Shiramine's house."

"I'm fine with either." Tao Rusu said casually, "But the rooms have to be closer."

"Well, okay... Ladies, are there any dishes that you hate to eat? If you have any food taboos, please tell us. Some of Fuso's special dishes may be difficult for people from Daxia to eat, such as sushi or sashimi..." While Amamiya Mahiru was asking, Shiromine Naomi also took out a notebook and started taking notes.

"I'm fine with either." Tao Rusu advocated being easy to feed and the guest should follow the host's wishes.

Su Ruoji thought for a moment and said, "I don't really like spicy food."

Su Ruoli hugged Bai Yu's left hand and replied lazily: "My taste is the same as his."

Amamiya Mahiru smiled: "I understand... Fuso's diet is light and not too irritating..."

She scribbled a few words on the notebook in Naomi's hand: "Hmm, it seems that these dishes can be crossed out. Immortal doesn't like squid and sashimi, and he doesn't like cold dishes like sushi very much either. The taste of curry is too strong... You can add more Kobe beef and saury."

"Is Kobe beef grilled on the teppanyaki plate?" Su Ruo pricked up her ears. She had a hidden gluttonous nature. On the way here, Bai Yu told her about some local specialties.

"Yes." Mahiru raised her hand to Minami Shiori who was silent: "My sister Minami Shiori will be in charge personally."

"You are a cook?" Su Ruoji asked curiously, "Aren't you a swordsman?"

"I can use the flame knife." Minami Shiori was talking about using the family heirloom knife, the Train Cutting Hiromitsu, to cut beef: "When I cut the beef myself, it can be cooked to medium rare, with perfect cooking temperature and tender taste. I have demonstrated this to my teacher once before..."

"No!" Bai Yu firmly objected, and strictly emphasized: "The steak must be well-done!"

Minami Shiori closed her eyes and said, "Don't blame me if it gets burnt."

"I remember there is Yakitori?" Su Ruo saw a travel guide posted by someone on the Internet.

But as soon as he mentioned Yakitori, he immediately received strange looks from the three girls.

"Is it not delicious?" Su Ruo was puzzled.

"This is not a question of whether it tastes good or not... Yakitori is grilled chicken skewers. When it comes to how to eat chicken, Daxia should have much more experience than Fuso." Shiromine Naomi asked politely.

"Yakitori restaurants are civilian stores, they serve ordinary people, and the prices are low and affordable, but you may have to wait and queue in the store, which is not in line with our hospitality to distinguished guests." Amamiya Mahiru clasped his hands together gently: "How about this, please give us a day, and tomorrow we can invite the best Yakitori chef in Edo to prepare a Yakitori feast for us alone."

"Strange, the internet says that yakitori restaurants are obviously very expensive?"

"That's a scam." Minami Shiori said, "Some shops will rip off tourists. Locals won't fall for that, so they specifically target ignorant foreigners."

"How abominable." Su Ruoli waved his fist: "It's better for this kind of black-hearted store to close down!"

Shiromine Naomi took note: "Okay, let's close them down then."

"I heard that many tourists come here with the intention of hunting for beauties. After all, Fusang's sex industry seems to be very developed. Can you tell me more about it?"

Tao Rusu found the refrigerator in the car, took out a bottle of drink and handed it to Bai Yu. Under the latter's puzzled gaze, she said calmly: "I can't open it."

...You can unscrew someone's crown, but you can't unscrew a bottle cap?

Looking at the weak and frail woman Tao Rusu, Bai Yu unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to her: "Why are you interested in the sex industry? Female tourists are not allowed to go to Yoshiwara."

"I want to further my studies."

"Puff..." Minami Shiori covered her lips and kept coughing. What the hell is further study? Shouldn't Daxia have banned brothels long ago? Why go to Fuso to study in the sex industry? It can't be to learn singing, dancing and playing the shamisen!

"Oh, I was wrong." Tao Rusu calmly corrected herself, "I heard that the courtesans are experienced, so I wanted to ask them for advice in advance... After all, they are professionals in serving people."

"That's true. Doctor Yoshihara really knows how to control men." Shiromine Naomi said, "If Miss Tao is interested, I can introduce some former courtesans to you..."

"Before?" Tao Rusu asked, "Don't you have to work in this field until you die?"

"The one I introduced is not from Yoshiwara, but from the bankrupt Changleten." Naomi smiled and said, "She doesn't have to go back to her old job now. She has another better job. But after all, she started at the age of sixteen and it took her ten years to reach the top of Changleten. She has a lot of experience."

"What is Changletian?" Su Ruo was curious.

"It's an entertainment club that has closed down." Bai Yu took out a drink and blocked her cherry lips: "You are not a curious baby, don't ask so many questions."

They started the topic with food, and the conversation was normal, just getting to know each other. There was no immediate tension before they even met.

Su Ruoli had no objection to the food, clothing, housing and transportation. He looked calm and seemed a little sleepy, dozing off on Bai Yu's shoulder.

It was not until they arrived at the Shiromine family's mansion that her expression changed slightly. She said in surprise, "Ms. Mahiru, this is different from what you mentioned in your letter. Didn't you say it was just an ordinary courtyard? It looks like it's almost been built into a garden."

"It has been expanded several times before, but there is no garden or anything like that. It is just a wooden structure, so it can be demolished and rebuilt very quickly." Amamiya Mahiru introduced: "And the owner of the house is Naomi, she is the head of the Shiromine family."

Everyone exclaimed "Oh", it turned out that this was the real rich woman.

"I am just a title holder." Naomi's ears blushed. "I actually manage most of the business on behalf of Mr. Sensei."
