"Although I've said it before, I still want to say... Zhu Mei, you really are a good girl."
"So it's a girl, not...wait?"
Zhu Mei subconsciously wanted to correct him, but found that there seemed to be no need to correct him.
That blank expression looked exceptionally cute.
Yato couldn't resist and gently tapped her forehead.
"Y-Yado-kun?!"
Zhu Mei covered her forehead and took two steps back.
She was so embarrassed that her eyes seemed to swirl like whirlpools.
Before Yato could say anything, she turned and ran upstairs like a frightened animal.
"...Once you've got my stamp on you, you can't escape."
Yato, with a mischievous grin, shouted from behind.
As a result, the girl stumbled and almost fell down the stairs.
She seemed to calm down a bit after rushing up to the second floor, and then turned around and playfully stuck out her tongue at him.
But the joy in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Chapter 136
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?"
"In other words, the atmosphere is weird."
The meal was quite enjoyable.
But it wasn't just their stomachs that were full of food; Hibiki and Ayaka's hearts were also filled with doubts.
He glanced back and forth between Yato and Akemi with a suspicious look.
"It's nothing, it's just that Zhu Mei and I have decided to date."
Yato peeled an orange and said casually.
"Oh."
"I see."
"...What the hell! (x2)"
Hibiki and Ayaka remained silent for a while before erupting as expected.
He charged towards Zhu Mei with fierce momentum, his eyes seemingly glowing and filled with a sense of oppression.
"Zhu Mei! What's going on?"
"Quickly! Tell the truth!"
"Wait, wait... calm down, you two."
Zhu Mei shrank back in fright, trembling as she was squeezed into the corner of the sofa. But looking at her two friends' faces, which resembled those of demons, she didn't know how to explain herself and could only cast a pleading look at Yato.
"Hey you two, don't you think you're getting too close to someone else's girlfriend? This area within a meter is my private territory."
However, Yato's actions were less of a rescue and more of an attempt to add fuel to the fire.
This further provoked the two single people.
They were so angry they were grinding their teeth.
Right in front of Yato, they each put their arms around Akemi on one side, and 17 even gave Yato a provocative look.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yato, your girlfriend is already in my arms."
"Yes, yes, yes... By the way, Zhu Mei, your skin is so good it's almost unbelievable. Do you use any skincare products?"
"Well, I haven't used many skincare products."
Before we knew it, the topic had veered off course.
Xiang's lips twitched slightly as she watched the two of them start talking about skincare products. Although her natural love of beauty as a woman was also stirring, there were more important things she needed to ask clearly right now.
"Zhu Mei, how dare you sneak away!"
She gave her a wink.
"...I'm sorry, but this is something I can't concede."
Zhu Mei responded with her eyes.
His expression carried a barely perceptible hint of apology, but more than anything, it was one of smugness.
She knew it.
Hibiki also has feelings for Yato, but when it comes to matters of the heart, it all comes down to who makes the first move.
"Ugh."
Xiang returned to his seat dejectedly.
"Even a perfect superhero like Zhu Mei has found a boyfriend, when will my Prince Charming come?"
"Hey Hibiki, what you're saying is making me feel down too."
Ayaka sighed, covering her forehead.
"It's fine if you can't find someone, but it's different for me. My personality, figure, and appearance are all fine."
"...Ayaka, I think we should unite against the enemy now. You should reflect on your behavior of firing on friendly forces without thinking!"
Hibiki glared at Ayaka.
What do you mean she can't find it? That's fine.
What's wrong with her? She's just a bit chubby, isn't she?
This problem will be overcome sooner or later!
"Well, don't be discouraged, you'll meet someone you like eventually."
Zhu Mei straightened her clothes and comforted her.
But as soon as he said it, he was met with resentful looks from the two of them.
"You shrew, shut up!"
"Making sarcastic remarks will get your belly button stolen."
"Really! They were just trying to comfort you."
"Alright, Zhu Mei, ignore these two losers and sit here with me."
Yato gestured to him.
He completely ignored the angry glares directed at him by the two losers.
"No, I'll just sit here."
There was no way around it; Yato was sitting on a single sofa, and if she went over, she would be sitting on Yato's lap or armrest. If no one was around, it would be fine, but now that Hibiki and Ayaka were both there, Akemi was really embarrassed to be so intimate with Yato in front of them.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen your sister since we started eating. Isn't she coming home tonight?"
Yato changed the subject.
"It's probably work or social engagements... right?"
Speaking of her older sister, Akemi suddenly realized that if her sister came back and met Yato at this time, wouldn't that be meeting the parents?
"Zhu Mei, your face is steaming."
"?"
Zhu Mei subconsciously touched her face, then realized that Xiang was teasing her, and couldn't help but puff out her cheeks.
"ring!"
"It has nothing to do with me, it's just that your expression is too easy to understand. Ugh, I can't take it anymore, I'm going back."
Hibiki felt that if she stayed any longer, she would be sick of the place.
"You're going back so soon?"
Ayaka exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't forget tomorrow is Monday. It's almost nine o'clock now, and Mr. Yato still has to drive us back. He has school tomorrow too."
"makes sense."
"Then I'll see you off."
Although Zhu Mei was a little reluctant, she wasn't mentally prepared to let Yato meet her parents right now.
"I'll call you when I get back."
Yato deliberately walked at the very back and whispered something in her ear.
The girl was taken aback for a moment, then a happy smile spread across her face, and she nodded vigorously.
"Ok!"
……
After dropping Hibiki and Ayaka off at home, Yato drove back to the apartment complex near Odaiba in Minato Ward.
"Ok?"
As soon as he got out of the car, Yato keenly sensed something was wrong.
"come out."
He shouted coldly at the empty parking lot.
The next moment, the door of a luxury car not far away opened.
Next came a beautiful figure that was very familiar to him.
"Still as vigilant as ever, but that's a good thing. Even I can be detected, so there's no need to worry about other assassins posing a threat to you."
She has shoulder-length golden hair and a face that is as delicate as a doll, with a touch of childishness, yet also possesses an eerie quality.
When they walked, their little leather boots made not a sound.
It floated along the ground like a ghost.
He exuded an eerie aura that sent chills down your spine with just one glance, sending a shiver down your spine and onto your scalp...
"Ming Shen Hu Chun, what brings you here?"
After recognizing the other person, Yato was no longer in a hurry. He sat on the hood of the car, crossed his arms, and said...
"Of course I'm here to inform you."
Narukami Torahiro's lips curled into a smile that appeared cute, but was devoid of any warmth.
"Do you have time tomorrow? I plan to keep our agreement and introduce you to another person in charge. He happens to lack a strong fighter like you, especially... in the current turbulent period of the Kengan Association."
"This is a good opportunity for you."
"...Indeed, it is better to provide help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade."
Yato squinted.
To be honest, he had been waiting for Narukami Torahiro to come to him, but the other party had not contacted him for a long time. He thought something had gone wrong, but he didn't expect that he was actually waiting for this opportunity.
What time is tomorrow?
"I'll pick you up."
Narukami Torahiro turned around and got into the car. Just before closing the door, she suddenly remembered something and said with a smile:
"Remember not to talk to your girlfriend on the phone too late, it's bad for your health."
boom.
The car door closes.
