Fujiwara Daichi smiled and said, "Because the other party is not short of money, has great insight, and is the world's strongest chef, and Uncle Nakiri and the others are also here, we can't be too casual. So we chose two gifts: one is a fine Chinese tea set, and the other is a normal tonic."

"I think Shopkeeper Baiyu would be quite interested in such fine tea sets, since he seems to have a deep understanding of tea art."

"That's what we thought too. We definitely can't give away wine and tea. The tea set is quite nice. We found it through a friend in the industry. Rumor has it that it has a great background. It's exquisitely carved and made of jade. It includes six teacups, a teapot, a tea tray, a pair of tea pets, a tea knife, a teapot, a tea caddy, a tea spoon, a tea strainer, a tea scoop, tea tongs, and a tea needle."

Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up as she said, "This is so complete! There are so many things I don't even know what they're for. They must be very precious."

"Not only that, Wan Sui, what did Uncle Nakiri and the others say?"

Fujiwara Manho breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Nakiri said we can leave home at 6:30 in the evening, but does Mr. Shiraha's shop stay open very late?"

"It's quite late. It closes around the time of class in the morning. Manager Bai Yu only runs the shop as a hobby, just to see interesting customers. He's not really interested in money, so he often suddenly closes the shop to give himself a break, or he might open early or late."

"He's quite a strange young man, but you can feel his passion for life. People like that are usually worth getting to know and befriend."

"That's right!"

"Dadi, go see Father. I also need to hurry up and change my clothes and touch up my makeup."

"Alright, you and Fengshi can come downstairs together. Qianhua, you and Mengye can just wait in the living room. Don't leave at 6:30. Let's go earlier and wait at the street corner. Otherwise, it would be too impolite if the uncles arrived first."

"Ok!"

In the other apartment, Takatsuki Sen was still typing away at her computer, while Kirishima Touka sat quietly. Whether she was truly at peace inside was something only she knew.

"Touka, your quietness doesn't seem like quietness at all."

Touka Kirishima sighed and said, "I definitely can't stay calm. I have no idea how to face this. There are too many unknowns."

Takatsuki Sen leaned back and laughed, saying, "Don't think so much. There's a saying in China: 'Things will work themselves out.' They're all good people, and they all know what happened. As long as you want to become an ordinary human being, and as long as you're a girl, then you don't need to worry about anything."

"I don't know why, but I always feel a little strange whenever you talk about girls."

"Um... don't overthink it. To be honest, I'd say I'm pretty beautiful. There are plenty of women in the shop who are prettier, have better figures, and have more poise than me. For example, Yuko is exceptionally tall, has an amazing figure, and is very beautiful. There are many more, so you don't need to worry about anything."

"Um... I feel a little relieved, but why do I feel inexplicably heartbroken...?"

Takatsuki Izumi just scratched her head awkwardly. Although she did it to reassure Kirishima Touka and let her know that there was nothing to worry about for her, as she was an inexperienced and cold-blooded young girl who hadn't fully grown up yet, and that the shop had no shortage of beautiful women, it still felt a bit like a blow to her heart.

"Oh dear, you're so slow and always thinking about pessimistic things! Wouldn't it be better to think about something more positive and cheerful?"

"Perhaps it's because I've temporarily lost that ability."

Takatsuki Sen chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, let's talk about something else then. Touka, if you were to take the college entrance exam, what department would you want to apply to?"

Touka Kirishima paused for a moment, then said softly after a brief silence, "Before...now I want to study education."

"Hey? Want to be a teacher?"

"Hmm... Many people, many ghouls, have a hard time just surviving and growing up because of their identity, let alone learning to read and write."

Takatsuki Sen thought for a moment and said, "However, education-related majors are not easy to get into, but you're planning to become a teacher here? The world over there is so peaceful."

"I haven't thought it through yet; everything is based on the premise that you said it is true."

"Don't worry. However, besides the fundamental differences between us, another difference is that if everything can be resolved one day, I will move there without hesitation. After all, this world has only given you and me something not so good."

After a long silence, Kirishima Touka softly asked, "Are all the people in Aogiri Tree like you?"

"I have a goal, so I need subordinates. You don't need to think too much. Aogiri Tree is tolerant of ghouls. Any fake can join as long as they are strong enough or special enough. But once the goal is achieved, if you don't want to change, then you can't blame anyone else for being hunted down by Shirojō."

Touka Kirishima nodded and said, "I think I understand your idea a little better. However, aren't you afraid that revealing this idea will cause a rebellion?"

"Heh, you don't think I have any connection with all those ghouls in Aogiri Tree? Their lives and deaths are none of my business, and most of them were forced to join because they had no other choice. Moreover, in the face of absolute power, they have no choice but to obey or die."

"The only true members of the Bronze Tree are us high-ranking members. Apart from Gecko, whom you all know, the rest all follow my lead. Gecko's personality can't be changed, so, do you understand?"

Looking at Takatsuki Sen, who was wearing loose pajamas, messy hair, round-framed glasses, childish slippers, holding a half-eaten apple in one hand, and making frightening remarks, Kirishima Touka just silently turned her head away and covered her face with her hands.

"Hey! Are you laughing?!"

"No...cough..."

"You are!"

When Lucifer and the others returned, Bai Yu had already prepared dinner. Lucifer and the others were still talking about ordering clothes today. For most of them, they had never worn a cheongsam or a kimono before.

"So, darling, you're going to be a judge in the semifinals? I want to be in your group!"

Hearing this, Dekker retorted irritably, "I could have said I wanted to be in a group with Darling! Draw lots! Don't try anything funny!"

Kraki's eye twitched, and she sighed, saying, "Alright, alright, it's decided now. Rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins gets to team up with Darling."

"it is good!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!" x2

"Luckily we reacted quickly, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss."

Klaqi stared blankly at the cloth she was gesturing with. Lucifer and the others glanced at it before continuing their eating and chatting. The next moment, Klaqi put her fist to her heart, looking like she was heartbroken. Her initial thought was the almighty scissor hand gesture!

Dekla laughed happily. She knew that Klaqi would definitely think of scissors first and then think that she could guess it, so she would definitely think that she would choose rock. Therefore, scissors still won.

"You two are really outrageous. I don't fight or compete with anyone. That's just my mindset."

Dekker said irritably, "Where do you get the nerve to say that? We only sent two executives, what are you, a second-class executive, doing getting involved?"

"I...you wait, I'll become a first-class executive officer sooner or later!"

"If you become a first-class executive officer, the two of us probably won't bother being executive officers anymore."

"I...I...you...Hmph!"

Kobayashi Rindou clicked his tongue and said, "Honey, your group is quite unique. Mizuhara-senpai is an irrational weirdo, Taki-senpai is a tsundere with a sharp tongue, and Kikuchi-senpai is weak and timid. Yet, among these three, Kikuchi-senpai argues with Taki-senpai, and Taki-senpai listens to Mizuhara-senpai."

"It's kind of like one thing overcoming another, but I'm suddenly very curious, are all the girls who graduated from Totsuki Academy such distinct personalities?"

Erina shook her head and said, "No, no, no, it's not that the girls have distinct personalities, it's that those who graduate from Totsuki Academy are definitely individuals with very distinct personalities."

"That's right. Most of the people who graduate from Totsuki Culinary Arts University are not ordinary people. If you don't believe me, just look at Rindou-nee and Momo-nee."

Momoko Akane paused for a moment and said, "Momoko is perfectly normal!"

"This isn't normal!"

"Hmph! Little Peach is perfectly normal! Gentian, on the other hand, can be a bit strange sometimes."

Kobayashi Rindou's eye twitched but he didn't say anything. When arguing with his sisters, he never cared whether they were right or wrong, only which side had more people. After all, such arguments usually started when they were complaining about someone, which was one of the top three things his sisters liked to do besides gossip.

Amidst the commotion, it was already around 6:10. The Fujiwara family had arrived at the street corner. Fujiwara Daichi remarked with some emotion, "The contrast is really striking. One side is bustling with people and incredibly lively, while the other side doesn't even have a single streetlight."

Fujiwara Manho nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm really curious to see how the contrast between these two streets will be when it's quiet at night. It must be even more striking then."

Fujiwara Toyomi looked out the car window with a puzzled expression and said, "So, there are restaurants on this street? This is a really strange place."

"It's alright, but it feels like we'll be waiting for quite a while, Grandpa. How long has it been since you last saw Commander Nakiri and the others?"

"It's been a few years. To be honest, when we were young, we weren't very familiar with each other. We only got to know each other gradually later. These old guys are all tough as nails."

Fujiwara Daichi turned his head and said with a smile, "I've also met a few of my uncles. At that time, Mansui and I had just gotten married. My uncles were quite impressive."

Fujiwara no Miho nodded and said, "That's right. I only met a few of my uncles after I married Daichi. If they were in the Warring States period, they would all be famous warlords. Their heroic spirit cannot be judged by their age."

“Father, you should also make time to get around more. Qianhua said that your uncles are still as handsome and healthy as ever. You can’t fall behind.”

Grandpa Fujiwara just chuckled twice, shook his head, and said, "They're getting old. Nakiri always insists on training, Wu is a monster, and Katahara is a fighting enthusiast. Tezuka is a police instructor, and the old man from the Busujima family... well, that goes without saying..."

"When I was young, I would make time to exercise. Later, I had too much political work, and sometimes I didn't get enough sleep or time to eat. I'm already grateful that I don't have any illnesses."

The three Fujiwara sisters pressed their faces against the car window, watching the people come and go outside. Fujiwara Moeha whispered, "Hey, Chika-nee, do you think we'll be able to see the student council president?"

"Huh? The president? How could that be? The president is here, but he's definitely not here. Otherwise, I would have looked for him when I went there before."

"It's been a long time since I've seen the president. I wonder how she is doing now."

"It must be going very smoothly. The president is so capable, and she married a good husband. She has no problems with her life, studies, and family. She must be living a very happy life."

"Hmm... The president is getting married. Even though I know, it still feels so amazing, Dad!"

"Hmm? Mengye, what's wrong?"

Fujiwara Moeha leaned over and said, "I saw Garuda-neechan!"

"Hmm? It looks like we've arrived. I should have come earlier. Father, please wait in the car for a moment. We'll get off first."

Mr. Fujiwara simply nodded. As soon as Fujiwara Daichi and the others got out of the car, they saw Garuda running over. Garuda politely bowed and said, "Uncle Fujiwara, Aunt Mansui, it's been a long time."

Fujiwara no Miho smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it's been a few years. You've grown into a beautiful young woman, and you're even married now."

"Hehe... Ah, Grandpa and the others suddenly decided to go for a stroll on the next street and told me to wait for you. I didn't expect you to arrive first. I sent them a message, and they came very quickly!"

"Tell your uncles not to worry, we just arrived a little early because we had nothing else to do."

"it is good!"

Chapter 201 Wu Yacha is here too, the tacit understanding between men (Please subscribe~)

Fujiwara Chika and the others chatted with Garuda, but they mostly talked about family matters, such as whether business was going well or how their health was. They couldn't possibly talk about school or a family situation that they didn't know yet, what if they said the wrong thing?

"Grandpa! Mom!"

Upon hearing Garuda's words, Old Master Wu, who had been walking and chatting, immediately showed a kind smile. Sure enough, it was his own good child who was the most lovable. Wu Lei'an, that kind of rascal, still needed to be disciplined.

Fujiwara Daichi and the others quickly turned around and saw that Nakiri Senzaemon and the others had all come over. It is worth mentioning that Katahara Sayaka and Katahara Retsudo were also there this time, along with a smiling Wu Yacha.

Fujiwara Chika and the others bowed, and Fujiwara Daichi and Fujiwara Manho quickly bowed in return, saying, "Uncles, it's been a long time."

Katahara Metsudou waved his hand with a smile and said, "As expected of you, still so honest. Where's your old man? He's not waiting for us to go and fetch him, is he?"

Upon hearing this, the car door opened, and Mr. Fujiwara stepped out. Although he looked very kind and wore reading glasses, Mr. Fujiwara said with a smile, "You old man are still the same as ever."

With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Senzaemon Nakiri said with a hint of helplessness, "Why are you wearing reading glasses now?"

"I'm getting old, unlike you guys who have so much free time. Where's old man Tezuka?"

"You know he doesn't like these kinds of drinking parties. He'd only come if it were fishing. Let's not talk about this now. It's about time. Let's go to the shop. I've been quite busy lately."

Wu Huili said irritably, "If you hadn't personally overseen so many of WGO's collaborations with Totsuki, you wouldn't be so busy. You're just bored out of your mind."

“I haven’t retired yet, so naturally I am the Supreme Commander of Totsuki. Even though WGO and Totsuki are both my own, and the transit bank goes through this old man’s bank, I still have to handle it personally. It’s a matter of responsibility.”

"Come on, you're just looking for trouble. You're always the most active one chatting in the group."

"You always manage to show up every time I chat in the group, you old geezer, what makes you so great?!"

"I'm fine anyway, unlike you, who would definitely be able to see it."

"Sizzle..."

The three Fujiwara sisters just watched silently, then continued to chat quietly with Garuda and Katahara Sayaka. Fujiwara Toyomi was quite familiar with the two of them, and they had no barriers at all when talking about things that girls were interested in.

Klara and the others weren't in a hurry to go upstairs today. After all, their parents were coming, and they had to say hello first, otherwise it would seem too rude.

Since these old men were still around, even though Garuda and the others were looking forward to it, they didn't rush over immediately. The group walked and chatted at a leisurely pace, leaving only the driver and bodyguards waiting on the next street.

When Fujiwara Toyomi saw the shop, she was stunned for a moment. There was really nothing there. There was no signboard or special decorations. If someone hadn't told her and they hadn't actually arrived, she wouldn't have even walked into this street, let alone come here specifically to eat. When the door was opened, the Fujiwara family, except for Fujiwara Chika, were all stunned for a moment.

Beautiful women were everywhere you looked, representing almost every style. And because they hadn't gone upstairs yet, Lucifer and the others weren't dressed casually as usual; they were dressed in their usual formal or casual style, which added to their appeal.

Garuda couldn't bear it any longer and waved with a smile. Lucifer and the others also greeted him. Unlike them, Fujiwara Daichi and Fujiwara Manho immediately spotted the only man among the beauties.

It's obvious without even guessing that the person sitting in this position can only be the store manager, the head of this incredibly wealthy and powerful family.

Bai Yu looked at Katahara Retsudo with some surprise. Logically speaking, this kid should be like Wu Lei'an, and would never have come here, or rather, he would never have come with Katahara Retsudo and the others.

Katahara Retsudo also saw Shiraha's gaze, but he sighed inwardly and secretly glanced at Katahara Sayaka, who was almost unable to suppress her excitement. Shiraha returned a knowing look.

What kind of riddles are you two playing?

Katahara Retsudo turned his head away without saying a word, while Shiraha smiled, shook his head, stood up, and said, "It's quite rare to see all of you appearing at the same time. I suppose these must be Mr. Fujiwara and his family."

Seeing Bai Yu stand up and speak, Fujiwara Daichi breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps forward, and said with a smile, "Although I've heard Chika mention you, Mr. Bai Yu, you are much younger and more handsome than I imagined. It's really unexpected."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Fujiwara is more easygoing than I thought."

"Mr. Bai Yu knows me?"

"Of course, after all, I'll read all kinds of books. Mr. Fujiwara has appeared in some magazines, and of course, his wife is also there. The two of them can be said to be a golden duo."
