Chapter 343 A Deep-Stage Cunning Schemer, Beyond Curse (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu was naturally unaware of Albedo's situation. After that, Bai Yu never mentioned the World Tree game again. Some things, some scenery, some people, and some feelings are buried deep in his heart and should never be brought up again.

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and saw a beautiful face close to his. Bai Yu immediately reached out and pinched that beautiful face, saying, "Yuko~ what do you want to do?"

Yuuko Ichihara didn't immediately break free, just staring at Shiraha. After a long while, she finally freed herself, sat up properly, and said with a playful expression, "Shiraha, were you thinking about Albedo just now?"

Yuuko Ichihara's words made Shiraha pause for a moment before he smiled and said, "A little bit, I guess. I'm more interested in when Jinx is coming."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "That crazy girl Jinx probably won't be here until tonight~ But Jinx and Cerberus are probably going to have a blast~"

"That's fine with me. What I'm worried about is, if Jinx comes, but she causes trouble at the Kengan match... that could get her into trouble."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "Will we be punished?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "It's not that bad. Kengan looks like it has rules, but it's actually quite casual. The trouble I'm referring to is that Jinx might wander off without knowing where she is, then graffiti somewhere and get caught."

Yuuko Ichihara's lips twitched. Good heavens, this really was something Jinx would do. Although Jinx always claimed to be some kind of heinous villain, she generally didn't kill anyone; she just liked causing chaos and playing pranks...

"Yooko~"

"Ok?"

"After you finish watching the game, you'll go back to your own world, right? How long will it take you to come back?"

Upon hearing this, Yuko Ichihara felt inexplicably annoyed. This feeling was similar to the frustration of finally getting a long vacation after a year of hard work, only to find that the vacation was about to end.

Despite her thoughts, Yuuko Ichihara still smiled and said, "What? Shiraha~ You can't bear to part with me? Or do you miss me already?"

Yuko Ichihara had clearly already imagined Shiraha immediately refusing and then turning around to mock her, but then she was stunned because Shiraha simply nodded and said, "Hmm~ that's true~ it's quite a pity to suddenly lose one of my companions at the shop for one more night~"

Yuuko Ichihara blushed and glared at Shiraha, saying, "It's not like I'm not coming back~ Besides, you really do have a knack for unintentionally saying things that put people in a difficult position~"

That's what makes it interesting!

"Tch... a master of cunning..."

"Hmm~ This level of cunning is incurable."

Yuuko Ichihara snorted but didn't say anything. Although she enjoyed bickering with Shiraha, she didn't actually like the feeling of her blood pressure soaring.

On the other side, Yuuka Kazami, who had stayed all night, put down a gold coin and whispered to Shiraha, "When will you reopen the shop?"

"One week~"

"A week... I understand~"

When Yuuka Kazami left, the last customer of the shop also left. Shiraha immediately hung up the "Closed" sign. When he returned, he saw Yuuko Ichihara patting the chair next to him and saying, "Shiraha~ come here~ I have something to ask you~"

Shiraha didn't show any shyness and walked over directly. Ichihara Yuko smiled, put her arm around the back of Shiraha's chair, and said playfully, "Let me interview you~ Mr. Shiraha, are you nervous right now?"

"Hmm? I'm nervous~ I'm still quite nervous talking to you, Yuuko, so please let me off the hook since I have a match tomorrow~"

Yuko Ichihara was taken aback for a moment, then said irritably, "I was talking about being nervous during the competition! Not being nervous being with me! Besides, I didn't see any nervousness in you at all! You always stroke your hair like you're petting a cat!"

"But Yuuko, you never resisted even once~"

"I'm giving you a chance to reflect on yourself and change!"

"Huh? So if I don't reflect on my actions, can things just stay like this forever?"

Just as Yuuko Ichihara was about to speak, Lucifer, wearing pajamas, came downstairs, yawned, and said, "Yuuko, although your relationship with Shiraha is progressing rapidly, I always feel like you two are dating~"

Yuuko Ichihara said irritably, "Impossible~ But Lucifer, are you jealous?"

"Me? If I'm jealous of Bai Yu, then I'll have to drink the vinegar bottle myself~ By the way, Bai Yu, you're going to accompany Qi Luoli to the gym today, right? Is there anything you need to buy? Something to take with you tomorrow~ We'll buy it while we're shopping today~"

"It seems there's actually some talent involved. I'll make a list for you later."

"OK~"

Just as Lucifer said, Bai Yu spent the day accompanying Qi Luoli as her last day of coaching, while Lucifer and the others went straight shopping, completely oblivious to time, because the shops were closed that night.

In one of the rooms, Sonoko Suzuki finished packing her things, took out her phone, skillfully found a number, and dialed it. The phone rang twice before being answered. Sonoko smiled and said, "Ran~ We're leaving tomorrow~ Have you packed everything?"

"Oh? Oh, is that so? No big deal~ It's daytime today, let's go shopping~ We can buy it while we're at it~ But it's such a coincidence that Uncle Mori is away for a week~"

Okay! See you at the usual place~

Meanwhile, at Totsuki Academy, Kobayashi Rindou hummed a song as she packed her things. Akanekubo Momo, unfortunately, had been called away on a research trip abroad. Kobayashi Rindou didn't call Erina and the others either; after all, they were only first-year high school students, and even the Elite Ten had classes and work to do.

"Hmm... let's just go to the shopping street and find Sonoko and the others~ We're sure to find them~"

As Kobayashi Rindou walked out carrying his seemingly empty backpack, Kanadein Shion and Ameha Zanzan returned to Shion's mansion. Kanadein Shion stretched and said, "Zanzaan~ Any ideas?"

"What are you thinking? Does Ziyin's lipstick color count as too dark?"

"I shouldn't have asked you that~ But I'll see Shiraha tomorrow~ I said I was going but I stood you up, so I'll probably get asked about it~ Zhan Zhan~"

"It depends on my mood~"

"That's so typical of you... Alright~ We're leaving tomorrow, so relax and enjoy yourself today~"

Just as the sun rose today, countless people and businesses sprang into action. At this moment, the beasts were enjoying the last pleasant warmth of the afternoon sun, waiting for the cold night to end, for the next dawn to break...

The beasts are about to begin their battle for their own purposes...

Chapter 344 Jinx's Arrival, The Last Night (Please Subscribe~)

As the sun rose, the fighters and owners who had all arrived in Japan were unusually calm, because no matter what, the fighting had not yet begun, and they needed to enjoy life.

Tokyo was quite an interesting place that day. You could see very tall foreigners or very strong people on the streets, which was very eye-catching.

After finishing her last set of strength training, Kirari turned to Baiyu, who was playing on his phone, and said, "Baiyu~ Is my phone prettier than me?"

"Kirori, are you done practicing?"

"Hmph~ Such negligence, be careful you don't miss out on the big gift~ What are you looking at? Did Lucifer and the others send a message?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Hmm~ They ran into Sonoko and Ran on the street today by sheer coincidence, and then they ran into Rindou by sheer coincidence. Should we call it a coincidence, or an inevitability~"

Kirari said irritably, "Stop mimicking Yuuko's way of speaking. You broke Yuuko's defenses last time. How did you even manage to ask that question? Do you think it's a coincidence or inevitable that I'm saying this to you now? Yuuko was completely stunned and didn't even realize what was going on!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "The charm of words~ But Kirari, what time are we leaving tomorrow morning?"

"Six o'clock, but I have to say I have a feeling this time there will be some unexpected group assignments~"

Bai Yu waved his hand casually and said, "It doesn't matter. In any case, the Kengan Tournament is a place for fighters to fight. Everything else is just what you guys are supposed to do."

"Tch~ You're surprisingly lazy~ Do you still have your clothes?"

"You still remember the 'White Butler' meme? I do, but I don't want to wear it~"

"No way~ He's so handsome, really~"

Kirari didn't return to the shop in the end. Bai Yu knew very well that Kirari needed to keep an eye on these guys even more in the final moments, since she only had one more night left before she could make sure they had to stay here after the Kengan Tournament started.

Because the shop was closed tonight, Lucifer and the others returned exceptionally late and were out shopping. Looking at the empty shop, Bai Yu stretched and said lazily, "It's been so long since it's been this quiet~"

As for Bai Yu, he was already used to Lucifer and the others being around. It was noisy and lively, no matter when.

But Bai Yu wasn't a pretentious person. Unlike the characters in the comics, who would check their phones for photos or make calls to force a conversation to make themselves feel better if they were suddenly not together, Bai Yu didn't do any of that. He just calmly sat there reading his book.

Meanwhile, Yuko, lounging lazily in her chair and sipping her drink, said playfully, "Do you think Shiraha misses us a lot right now? Maybe he'll call us soon~"

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "Impossible, impossible~ Bai Yu would never call~ But I really don't know if he misses her, but he definitely won't call~ Also~ Yuko, you miss Bai Yu, right~"

Yuuko Ichihara was taken aback for a moment, then said irritably, "Me? I wouldn't want to think about that guy who always likes to annoy me~"

Kobayashi Rindou said with amusement, "Everyone's like that, but they still like it~ Also, Lucifer, you seem to have something to say?"

Lucifer nodded and said with a hint of amusement, "You might not know this, but Yuko and I take turns watching the shop. Every morning when I wake up, I see Yuko clinging to Shiraha. It's really funny, Yuko~"

Yuuko Ichihara blushed. This was hard to explain. She simply didn't have to do anything or care about anything after coming back to life, so she just let herself go. Plus, she wanted to see what it was like when Shiraha broke down, which is why she always liked to tease Shiraha.

She knew that sometimes things seemed too intimate, but every time she was interrupted, Yuko would be surprised to find that she didn't react at all, as if it were perfectly natural.

Xiaolan, carrying a small paper bag, said, "But I'm still very curious. Longdan said before that Brother Baiyu's fighting style and boxing match style are two different things. Is there any difference?"

"The difference? The difference is that Bai Yu fights people he doesn't like, so he doesn't hold back at all. When he fights, he adheres to all the etiquette of combat sports and is more controlled. After the fight, he will say goodbye. In short, he is much more polite than other fighters."

Yuuko Ichihara tilted her head and said, "Eh? It sounds like a butler~ So is that where the title 'White Butler' comes from?"

Upon hearing the name "White Butler," Kobayashi Rindou couldn't help but laugh out loud. He waved his hand and said, "That's somewhat related, but the real source isn't that~ You'll find out later, it'll be a source you'd never guess~"

"Huh?!" xn

Lucifer and the others didn't return until sunset. Ichihara Yuko was very dissatisfied because Shiraha really didn't call. When Ichihara Yuko saw Shiraha leisurely reading a book, she was furious.

"We're leaving at six tomorrow morning. You've all eaten out, right? Get some rest early, there's a lot to do tomorrow. Gentian, Yuanzi, go and make some contact."

Shiraha didn't even turn her head. Kobayashi Rindou said irritably, "You really don't even turn your head~ But Kirari isn't here today either~"

"Hmm~ She's still quite busy. As for Lucifer and Yuuko, the shop is closed today, so there's no need for them to be there. They should both go and get some rest."

"Oh~" x2

Kobayashi Rindou tilted his head and said, "Eh? And you?"

"I'm waiting for a friend. Don't worry, once she arrives, I'll go back to rest."

As Bai Yu had arranged, Lucifer and the others rested for a while before going back to their rooms. It's worth mentioning that after standing outside his own door for a while, Lucifer slipped into Bai Yu's room. Of course, Kobayashi Rindou and the others were unaware of all this.

Bai Yu sat there quietly until almost midnight when Jinx ran in. This time, she readily handed over her "friends." Bai Yu nodded and led her to a room upstairs to rest. He told her to go find Kasugano Sora to change clothes the next morning. After that, he turned off the lights and went back to his own room.

Jinx looked at the beautiful and clean room, scratched her head, and said, "This place is really nice~ Much more pleasing to the eye than those rich people's mansions... Haha~ I'm actually a bit sleepy... Go find Xiaoqiong to get some clothes... What clothes... That bastard cook... He's doing unnecessary things..."

Jinx fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. On the other side, Bai Yu was slightly taken aback when he saw Lucifer burying herself in the blankets with only one little foot showing, then smiled. This little queen was as amusing as ever.

Chapter 345 Jinx's Wonderful Metaphor, the Kengan! (Please Subscribe)

The night was enchanting; everything appeared exceptionally tranquil and peaceful under the veil of darkness, a tranquility that sheltered countless lives that could open their eyes at any moment.

"Ah~ I'm so sleepy...."

As the first living being to open its eyes in this small shop, Cerberus looked at Bai Yu's room with a puzzled expression, then rubbed its eyes and looked at a room with a crack in the window.

"Hmm...who's in that room...um...Jinx!"

Cerberus thought for a moment and then ran over. When he opened the door, he saw Jinx sleeping in a very unseemly position, hugging a pillow and laughing from time to time. She was probably dreaming about drawing some great painting on the cops' motorcycles.

Jinx!

"Ah!!! Whoa... Cerberus! You scared me!"

"But I/you like it!" x2

The two were remarkably compatible. Jinx's best friends now were Cerberus, Mirajane (whom she had never seen again), and Kasugano Sora.

Kasugano Sora's reason is quite simple: she made Jinx feel like she was an older sister. Kasugano Sora also had a good impression of Jinx. Although she didn't like talking to immature people, she couldn't help but like Jinx's mischievous and innocent charm.

Especially when Caitlyn chased Jinx in with a sniper rifle, Kasugano Sora even said a few words in Jinx's defense. There was no way Jinx would chase her like that, since she was just drawing various pictures on a purely decorative statue and then being chased by a group of police officers for half the city.

In any other place, a group of people would be fully armed and chasing after the statue with real guns. After all, the statue was meaningless. If it hadn't gotten dark while they were running, Jinx might have really had to put in a lot of effort.

The two girls didn't close the door at all, and while they were making a ruckus, the alarm clocks that everyone had set woken them up on time. As soon as they opened the door, they heard a burst of laughter. The soundproofing in the rooms of the shop was absolutely excellent; even if there was an explosion inside, no one outside would hear it.

It was only then that everyone realized Jinx had come over the night before. They really liked Jinx; although she seemed a bit crazy, she was still very interesting and cute.

"Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer, what's wrong with you?"

While everyone was eating breakfast, they saw Lucifer rubbing his back and eating with a tired expression, but his complexion was unusually good. Lucifer yawned and said, "I strained my back last night when I went to the toilet."

Yuuko Ichihara's lips twitched as she said, "That's a perfect explanation, isn't it, Lucifer?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "Hmm... I think so too... By the way, why haven't we seen Xiao Qiong and Jinx yet? What are those two girls doing?"

"Xiao Qiong... this... this isn't suitable for me!"

"Are you kidding me! This is perfect! And this too!"

"No, no, no! That bastard cook will laugh me to death! I won't wear it!"

"Ugh, I give up! At least wear something decent!"
