However, at this moment, Zhenlian suddenly felt that her clothes were grabbed by someone, and then a huge force lifted Zhenlian up, and the world in Zhenlian's eyes suddenly began to spin.
Everything happened so suddenly that before Zhenlian could react, he was thrown to the ground and grabbed by the abuser.
"According to the authority of the international police, I will use force!"
"Sister Si!?"
The woman who gave Zhenlian a shoulder throw had delicate features. Her uniform was navy blue with pink stripes, and the shining golden police badge on her chest announced her identity.
"Mr. Zhenlian...are you okay?"
"Senior Tsukasa, there's no need to treat Shinrei like this, right? Yoshino-chan also said that this was her own will, and Shinrei didn't know about it."
At this time, Yoshino and a young man rushed over, quickly pulled Tsukasa away, and helped Shinrei up from the ground. He was wearing the same police uniform as Tsukasa, but the stripes were green.
"Thank you for your help, Sakuya and Yoshino. Why are you here? And what happened to Sister Tsukasa?" Manren asked puzzledly while rubbing the place where she was hurt from the fall.
Not far away, a serious-faced man in a red-striped police uniform was comforting the angry Si while holding his forehead and sighing, and by the way, he commented on Zhenlian, "She is so frivolous."
These three people are police officers of Amamiya City - Keiichiro Asaka, Sakuya Yokawa, and Tsukasa Myojin. Manrei had always dabbled in various fields before and had been detained many times. In addition, she had helped with cases many times, so she naturally became familiar with Shinnosuke, Keiichiro, Banban and other police officers. However, Manrei really didn't expect that this trio actually knew Yoshino.
In this way, the reason why Manreen was thrown over the shoulder by Tsukasa is obvious - perhaps Tsukasa saw Yoshino wearing such an ugly bunny girl costume and mistakenly thought that she was forced by Manreen.
"Shino, can you tell me how you know them?" Manren bent down and asked Shino curiously.
"Before... I wanted to try to build up my courage, so I went to Amamiya City with Yoshina... to explore... and then we got lost... In the end, the patrolmen sent me home. Mr. Keiichiro, Mr. Sakuya, and Ms. Tsukasa are all kind and gentle people! They came here this time to support us, too."
"So pitiful, so pitiful. Let me tell you, Miss Si was hugging Yoshino and kissing her and rubbing her..."
After hearing Shiona reveal Tsukasa's dark history, Tsukasa immediately ran from Keiichiro to Shiona with a red face, and said in a low and shy voice: "Shiona-chan, didn't we agree not to tell anyone else?"
Zhenlian stood up and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. It's a good thing that the police are here, so those guys won't do anything to Shiori and the others."
After all, the customers that Zhenlian brought over were basically not gentlemen, but gangsters. When they saw the beautiful girls dressed as bunny girls like Shizhi, they naturally couldn't help but harass them. Although they knew that ordinary people couldn't do anything to them with their strength, Zhenlian couldn't help but perform bone surgery on them when she saw them being teased.
"Master! Please accept my disciple's greetings!"
"Ah!" Sakuya's sudden recognition of his master startled Shinren. "Hey, Sakuya, what are you doing? What do you want me to teach you? Show off twenty octopus balls in one go?"
"Of course not~" Sakuya hooked his arm around Mana's shoulder in a friendly way, grinning, "You know, you've made so many girls wear bunny girl costumes! Just tell me the secret, Master~"
When Shinrei heard Sakuya's request, she was speechless - Shinrei didn't ask them to wear these bunny girl costumes. Just when Shinrei was about to refuse Sakuya, a cute girl came over and said, "Mr. Sakuya?"
"Hatsumika? Why are you here?" After seeing clearly who the girl approached, Sakuya shuddered suddenly, then smiled stiffly, "What a coincidence."
"After all, Shiho is also selling doujinshi here. And Tohka-chan is our Jurer's VIP who supports half a day's turnover. How can we not come to support her? Not only me, but also Quili and Tohma are here." Hatsumika said with a smile, and not far behind her, Tohka was smiling as she handed three doujinshi to Quili and Tohma.
"So, what were Mr. Sakuya and Mayu discussing just now?"
"He's asking me..."
"It's nothing, nothing! Hahahaha..." Seeing that Manre was about to tell Sakuya's purpose of becoming her apprentice, Sakuya hurriedly covered Manre's mouth and smiled awkwardly.
--split line--
"Yakuya and Yui are really serious. Give me a doujinshi. It's 500 yen." The Yamai sisters and Shoichi, the owner and chef of AgitΩ, a restaurant that Manori often goes to, also came over at Manori's invitation to help boost sales.
"Kukuku, the deal was a success. I sincerely thank you for your contribution."
"Thank you. Thank you for your support, Mr. Tsugami."
At this time, Xiangyi took out the bag he brought with him, opened it and saw hot roasted chestnuts inside. "It must be very cold to wear such thin clothes in such a cold day. I prepared roasted chestnuts here. I also brought a spoon. Just use the spoon to scoop and eat."
"Eh?"
"I am touched. Mr. Tsugami is such a good person."
Unlike Yakuya who was stunned, Yuigen directly picked up a chestnut, scooped out the chestnut meat with a spoon and put it into his mouth, then an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.
Seeing Yakuya's embarrassment, Xiangyi still asked with a smile: "Yakuya, don't you want to eat it? Chestnuts are delicious. I cut them in half specially so you can eat them directly with a spoon."
Seeing that Yakuya was hesitant to take action, Xixian added: "Expose it. Yakuya is afraid that he will not be able to dig out the chestnut meat well and will make a fool of himself in front of others."
"Who said that!?" Provoked by Yuihara, Yakushiya immediately picked up the chestnuts and spoon. However, the chestnut meat was crushed by Yakushiya with the spoon and fell to the ground.
Looking at the chestnuts on the ground, I suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Yakuya is still so clumsy, let me help you."
"Accusation. Wasting food is not a good thing to do. Does the useless Yakuya need Yui's help to feed him?"
Under the double stimulation, Yakushi finally exploded: "Can't we just eat chestnuts with the shells?"
After saying that, Yakuya stuffed a handful of chestnuts in the shell into his mouth and chewed them with a crackling sound. In the end, he almost cried because of the sound of his teeth.
"Oh... Manren——!" Being bullied by two evil-minded people, Yakushi ran to Manren and started crying.
"Be good, be good, don't cry, don't cry..." Manren touched Yakuya's head helplessly, showed a helpless expression to Yui and Shoichi, and then gave him the middle finger.
However, seeing Shoichi and Yui high-fiving each other, Manren looked at Yakushi in her arms and it was not difficult to realize that both of them had achieved their goal.
The price was that while she was crying, Zhenlian's clothes were stained with the fragrance of chestnuts.
Chapter 21: The Final Showdown (Part )
“Give me a new issue!”
"Okay, that's five hundred yen."
"Give me two!"
"A total of one thousand yen."
Although there were many people lining up in front of the Ratatosk Society's booth, Shinryo and the others knew that nearly 70% of the people in the line were familiar faces to them. Since the booth opened at 10 o'clock, the Honjo Hall booth had been full of people, and the line was almost reaching the entrance of the venue. Even Niya had to arrange some staff to help maintain order in the line.
however……
"Ohhh! It's Meijiu Tan!"
"I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect Miku to be here!"
"Miku Saigao--!"
After all, their Ratatosk company also has the girl idol Miku, who is just as popular as Nia. As far as Shinren knows, many fans even fly here to attend the comic convention just to see Miku.
"Hey hey hey! There's an idol here? Too cunning, Lian Bao!" Looking at the idol otakus who bought doujinshi and ran over to take photos with Miku, it was not difficult for Erya to guess Miku's occupation.
"After all, there is no rule that prohibits asking idols to help increase popularity, right?" Zhenlian approached Erya and smiled, while glancing at Erya from time to time. When he saw that Erya was still wearing the necklace he gave her, Zhenlian breathed a sigh of relief.
But of course not all members of the team are fans of Miku.
"Found it, what a pity!"
"Oh! Ikki! Daiji! Sakura! Uncle Genta! Aunt Yukimi! Uncle Bu! Mr. Kadota! Here, here!"
Seeing familiar people in the crowd, Zhenlian waved and shouted so that they could see her.
After a while, the eldest son of the Igarashi family, who looked very energetic, came here with his family and regular customers of the bathhouse.
"I didn't expect you to bring so many people here, Ikki. It's really a big help."
"This is not my credit." Yihui scratched the back of his head, "These customers were attracted by my father."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Genta." Shinren bowed to Uncle Genta, and after thanking him, she looked at Aunt Yukimi, "Yukishiro is here too. Aunt Yukimi, please take care of yourself."
"After all, you used to be the ace bath attendant of Igarashi Bathhouse. Oh, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You actually have so many beautiful girls around you. It's great to be young. We also experienced a lot when we were young, right, mama-san."
"Of course. It's because of that time that we fell in love and have such a happy family. Papa-san."
Uncle Yuantai smiled and hugged Aunt Xingshi, who was already pregnant, and both of them immediately had happy smiles on their faces.
Zhen Lian, who was covered in dog food and almost blinded by this loving couple, couldn't help but sigh - family is really the greatest treasure in the world.
Shiori, who was somewhat touched by this scene, couldn't help but move closer to Zhenlian and get close to him.
"What's wrong, Shiori?"
"I just don't know why I want to stay by your side."
"What a coincidence, me too." Sniffing the sweet smell on Shiori's body, Zhen Lian couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting a little hot. Fortunately, Niya was busy at the Honjo Hall stall, otherwise she would definitely shout "Get Daze!" and take pictures while taking pictures.
"Ten doujinshi, please."
"Okay, that's five thousand yen."
Although Erya’s booth’s sales volume far exceeded Ratatosk’s at the beginning due to word of mouth and popularity, everyone soon used their connections to attract friends and crowded Ratatosk’s booth.
Origami's former AST teammates, Ratatosk employees, classmates, Shiori and Shinrei even brought in the shrine maiden of Yakumo Jinja Shrine and the abbot of Daitenji Temple. Soon, the sales of Shinrei and Shiori's booth soared.
"Give me a doujinshi."
"Okay, that's 500 yen... you are..."
Just as Xun handed over a doujinshi, she saw the customer's face clearly and froze in place - long chocolate-brown hair that fell to her waist like a waterfall, and dark golden eyes that were like a pair of amber.
"Destroy..."
Seeing her long-missing sister appear before her eyes again, Xun almost cried. Just when Xun wanted to call Lei and Wang to let the four sisters enjoy this rare reunion moment, Mie made a "keep quiet" gesture: "Do you have anything else to do, Xun?"
What Mie said made sense. If they knew that Mie was back, everyone would naturally focus on Mie. Now was the crucial moment in the battle with Erya, and everything would change in an instant.
"Well! After we sell all the doujinshi, let's go out for a delicious meal together tonight." Xun wiped his tears and smiled happily.
Afterwards, Mie arrived at Honjodou's booth and ignored the team as he walked towards Nia.
"Hmm? You want my autograph?"
Erya didn't have any suspicion when she saw the unfamiliar face of Mie. She just thought that Mie was a customer who bought a book and forgot to ask Erya for an autograph. After all, she was the famous and popular cartoonist Honjo Souji.
"Thank you for your help." Mie handed out a piece of paper for signature and very considerately handed the pen to Erya.
The pen in Erya's hand flew over the signature paper, and she quickly signed her own signature "Honjo Souji". Seeing that Mie left "satisfied", Erya immediately threw herself into the battle with the Ratatosk Society's booth again, without noticing that Mie had placed a small device on the necklace around her neck.
"Please... please give me a doujinshi."
"Okay, a total of 500 days..." Erya was just about to hand the book to the customer, but she was stunned when she saw the woman in front of her wearing super-high-power thick glasses.
"Long time no see, Mr. Honjo. I heard that Mr. Honjo was attending this comic exhibition as a member of the club, which was rare, so I came here."
"Teacher Gaocheng..."
The two who had been in a cold war for several years suddenly met here, and both sides felt extremely awkward and embarrassed. The two of them looked away at the same time, and neither of them spoke first.
Perhaps realizing that his sudden appearance had caused embarrassment to Erya, Gao Cheng was the first to speak, his tone full of apology: "Sorry... for such a sudden visit."
"No...no..." Erya wanted to deny Gaocheng's statement that "brought trouble to me", but her voice was as thin as a mosquito's. In the noisy comic convention venue, Erya's voice was like a needle sinking into the sea.
In Takashiro's eyes, Niya just kept her head down and remained silent. Seeing that Niya was still indifferent to him, Takashiro smiled bitterly and put a 500 yen coin on the table: "Even if Mr. Honjo hates me, I will still support and look forward to Mr. Honjo's work."
After bowing again for his fictitious "shameful behavior that angered Niya", Gao Cheng did not stay for long, but turned around and left.
"Wait..." Erya wanted to catch up with Gaocheng, but his feet felt like they were filled with molten iron and he couldn't move at all. He could only watch his old friend gradually disappear in the vast crowd.
"Isn't Niya going to catch up with her?"
At this time, a pleasant voice like a silver bell came into Erya's ears. Erya looked up and found that it was the Yamato Nadeshiko girl with blue hair from Ratatosk Society.
"Hahaha..." Erya laughed awkwardly after being caught losing control of himself. "That's not important. Compared to that, Xiao Zhizhi, your outfit is really sexy. Are you interested in being my model?"
"Don't you want to catch up with her? I can feel that you are afraid and regretful, Niya." Shizhi held Niya's hands and said sincerely, "There are many things that if you don't say them now, you may never have the chance to say them again."
"It's not that exaggerated. Mr. Gao Cheng and I are from the same publishing house..."
"That's not an exaggeration at all." Zhenlian walked over, her expression no longer a poker face that showed no emotion, but a bitter expression that Niya had never seen before, "Even people who share a body can disappear in an instant."
"What anime setting is this from? And it's a competition right now? I can't leave here."
"Mare-kun, I'll take Nia's place. The job of collecting Zero will be left to you."
"Don't worry, I have a dramatic rival coming." Zhenlian turned and walked towards the Ratatosk booth, shaking the Phantom Bat Key in her hand to show off.
"Give me a doujinshi."
"Okay. That's five hundred yen. Thank you for your support of Honjo-sensei."
"We are enemies!"
"Eiya is my friend."
“What about your stall?”
"We lack everything except people."
Looking at the bunny girl who had transformed into an employee of Honjo-do, and then looking at Takagi who was about to leave.
Erya suddenly felt as if her heart was grabbed by an invisible hand. She regretted it all the time. She regretted that she was selfish and broke off this friendship without authorization. But it was not just regret. Erya felt that she was not qualified to be Gao Cheng's friend. Over the years, she had been paralyzing herself with the reason that "Gao Cheng no longer regarded Erya as a friend, and this relationship could not be restored anyway."
