"Not afraid at all." Chiya Kyuuji chuckled. "After all, Kiryu-nii is so strong, it doesn't matter if those people betray him, right?"
Chifumi Asakura nodded.
Indeed, that Kiryu is truly too mysterious. His combat power is so strong that people doubt whether he is even human. He is usually as cold as an iceberg, as if he doesn't care about anything. He never punishes his subordinates, nor does he manage them harshly.
It is precisely because of this unbridled management that the headless dog was able to expand so rapidly and become increasingly large.
But even Chifu Asakura felt a little scared by such a large organization.
The exact number of people in this organization and what they have done are now beyond the control of the captains of the various squads.
Chifu Asakura himself felt that something was wrong with the organization, and now it was trying to win over new forces.
Qianye Jiuciye looked at him and said, "Speaking of which, the other day you led a bunch of elites to raid the Bald Group, how come you ended up getting beaten up like this?"
Upon hearing this, Chifu Asakura rubbed his chin with lingering fear and said, "You might not believe it, but I was defeated by a black-haired man in just one exchange."
"A black-haired man? Not one of the Bald Group?" Chiya Kyuuji asked curiously.
"That's right, not the Bald Guys. He knocked me out. When I woke up... my underlings told me that he single-handedly defeated all of my underlings."
He gritted his teeth in annoyance: "We even ended up in jail because of this..."
"Hahahaha..." Qianye Jiuciye slapped the table, laughing so hard he almost fell over.
"No way! Just one person? You're kidding me!"
“I’m telling the truth!” Chifu Asakura scoffed.
Chiya Kyuuji laughed for a while, took a few breaths, and then said, "If that's the case... that guy is too strong, isn't he?"
"What if it's reinforcements from the Bald Guys' side?"
“Perhaps… it’s even that fake Kiryu Toudou?” Chiya Kujino raised an eyebrow.
“Very likely.” Chifu Asakura pursed his lips and found a chair to sit down. “If that guy is the fake Kiryu, then it’s going to be a real problem.”
Just then, footsteps came from upstairs, and several people came down the stairs at the back of the shop to the first floor.
A bespectacled, gentle-looking man and a cold-faced beauty in a white special forces uniform.
"Have you finished talking, Mamiya?" Chiya Kujino asked.
This seemingly unrelated and refined man is none other than Kenichi Mamiya, the captain of the Fifth Division of the Headless Dogs.
Kenichi Mamiya pushed up his glasses and smiled, "Yes, we've finished talking."
He looked at Chiyo Asakura and said, "Chiyo Asakura, you're discharged from the hospital. Congratulations!"
"Perfect timing, let me introduce you." He shifted to the side, revealing his rocky eyebrows.
"This is Ms. Iwabuchi Mei. She was once the leader of the biker gang that ruled Onigashima. Now she has officially returned and joined us. She is tentatively appointed as the captain of the Sixth Division."
He turned around and introduced the two people in front of him to Iwabuchi Mei, saying, "This is Captain Chiya Kyujino of the Second Division, and Captain Asakura Chio of the Third Division."
Yan Yuanmei looked at the two of them, nodded, and then said, "Please give me your guidance."
"Nice to meet you." Chiya Kyuuji waved with a smile.
"Nice to meet you." Chiyo Asakura snorted somewhat unhappily.
"Let's tentatively schedule the welcoming ceremony for Captain Iwabuchi Mei on Sunday?" Kenichi Mamiya said with a gentle smile, looking at Iwabuchi Mei.
Iwabuchi nodded and said, "Okay..."
"So……"
"Please wait a moment."
Ma Gongjian turned around, about to clap his hands and continue speaking, but was interrupted by Yan Yuanmei.
Iwabuchi Mei looked at him and asked, "Will Kiryu Toudou come then?"
Kenichi Mamiya was somewhat confused, raising an eyebrow as he said, "Didn't Miss Iwabuchi say before that she wasn't interested in Kiryu-nii-san...?"
"Kiryu-nii also said that if you don't want to see him, you don't have to see each other."
“I’ve changed my mind.” Yan Yuanmei looked somewhat indignant: “He beat me a long time ago, you’ve all heard about that, right? Now I want to meet him and see how good his racing skills are these days.”
Kenichi Mamiya then laughed and said, "So you want to race with Kiryu-nii! Of course, that's no problem. I'll ask him! Please don't worry, Miss Iwabuchi."
"Don't worry, boss, Kiryu will definitely agree!" Chiya Kyujino interrupted with a grin, "He must miss you a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be so concerned about Onigashima."
Chiyo Asakura nodded in agreement, saying, "For Iwabuchi Mei, who used to be a biker gang member, using a car chase as a ritual to join the Headless Dogs is indeed quite appropriate."
Chapter 163 A Peaceful Day
Iwabuchi Mei successfully infiltrated the headless dog and brought news that the initiation ceremony would be held on Sunday.
This is indeed good news, but Dou Tang has no time to be happy right now, because... damn it, why is there so much homework?
Although Dou Tang knows most of what is taught in school, he still needs to catch up on a lot of homework if he wants to successfully advance to the next level of education.
Otherwise, even a reasonable leave of absence could lead to him failing a course or even repeating a year.
At this very moment, a study session is underway at the Kiryu residence.
Dou Tang and Huai Yin sat cross-legged on the carpet, concentrating on their homework, while Lu Zizhen lay on the sofa, laughing and snacking, mocking, "The one who makes countless evil spirits tremble with fear, Kiryu Dou Tang, is currently... doing his homework! Hahahaha!!"
Dou Tang looked helplessly at the exam paper in front of him and said, "If you're really bored, you can go out and buy some groceries, and you can cook lunch."
"No way!" Lu Zizhen immediately gave up and lay down, saying, "I'll just order takeout later! I haven't had enough rest since I got back."
"Haven't you rested enough?" Dou Tang turned around, his voice full of confusion. "You've only participated in two battles, and you've been back to rest for two days. Haven't you rested enough?"
"Of course I didn't get enough rest! Oh dear, you have no idea how traumatized I was from working for free!" Lu Zizhen waved her hand, "Do you know how many tens of thousands of talismans I used? That's a huge sum of money!"
Upon hearing this, Dou Tang turned back to continue working on the problem, saying, "Your talisman paper is really expensive."
"Sigh, this is the tragedy of righteous exorcists." Lu Zizhen counted on his fingers: "Talismans cost money, magical artifacts cost money, everything costs money and time. It's much harder than those Onmyoji who control shikigami!"
"Those guys just need to feed their shikigami with vengeful spirits regularly. It's different for me. If no one pays me to exorcise evil spirits, I won't benefit at all."
Dou Tang asked curiously, "Are the shikigami in Onmyoji fed with vengeful spirits?"
“Ninety percent of them are,” Lu Zizhen replied. “The food of shikigami is obsession, which is either provided by the sincere offerings of the onmyoji or obtained by devouring evil spirits, most of the time by devouring vengeful spirits.”
She suddenly laughed and said, "It's really sad, isn't it? Many people who are haunted by vengeful spirits are actually their deceased relatives or lovers."
"As it turned out, they knew nothing and went to find an exorcist. The exorcist sent a shikigami to devour the vengeful spirit and then told them that it had been exorcised..."
"And then we'll collect their money! Hahahaha..."
Dou Tang sighed: "Taking other people's money and then eating the vengeful spirits of their loved ones is just too despicable, isn't it?"
"You're right, they really are that bastards!"
Looking out at the vast sky through the French windows, Lu Zizhen seemed lost in thought, muttering to herself, "Those bastards never care about the feelings of ordinary people."
She looked at the sky and suddenly said, "The weather is so nice today... On such a nice day, I should take a long nap."
After saying that, she picked up the blanket from the other end of the sofa, wrapped herself up tightly, lay down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and said, "The sound of you two doing your homework is like ASMR, it's so hypnotic, I'm going to take a nap."
Dou Tang didn't reply, but Huai Yin yawned and said, "Brother... I'm sleepy."
Seeing that Dou Tang was still engrossed in writing, she clicked her tongue, stood up, rubbed her sore legs, and walked over to Dou Tang's side.
She glanced at Lu Zizhen, who was sleeping with her back to the two of them, and suddenly blushed. She reached out and pulled up Dou Tang's free left hand.
Dou Tang looked up at her in confusion.
Huaiyin swallowed hard, placed Doutang's large hand on her thigh, patted it, and said, "My legs are sore from sitting... Brother, I'm going to take a nap."
These words were meant for Lu Zizhen.
Dou Tang, on the other hand, was somewhat speechless.
This...this girl
What's wrong with you lately? Ever since that kiss in the bathroom through the shower curtain, you've become so much more open!
What's going on here? Am I supposed to touch Lu Zizhen's leg in front of her?!
The contrast and the sense of exposure are just too stimulating!
Dou Tang clicked his tongue, pinched Huaiyin's soft thigh hard, and looked at her face, which was flushed from trying to hold back her voice, and said, "Okay, then you rest for a while, I'll write some more."
After being pinched hard on the thigh, Huaiyin's eyes welled up with tears, but she seemed rather happy.
She chuckled softly, picked up a cushion from the sofa, walked to the double sofa next to her, lay down on it, curled up with the cushion under her head, and yawned.
Dou Tang sighed, stood up, walked to the wardrobe, found a blanket, and threw it to Huai Yin.
Huaiyin's head was covered by the blanket. She hurriedly straightened the blanket, exposed her head, wrapped it tightly, and slowly closed her eyes.
Dou Tang returned to the table, sat down, and lost all interest in studying. He simply took out his phone and started playing.
The winter sun, which seemed especially warm, streamed into the room, landing on the table and casting shadows on every object. Everything felt cozy and warm, but the light was not harsh on the eyes.
On the internet, besides the still-controversial Fall Guys incident, Dou Tang also saw something that surprised him.
The half-demons like Xiao Qin, whom I've met before, seem to have become famous. They've become popular online as game streamers, and their unique way of speaking has earned them a lot of fans.
Now, they have become a very famous group of game streamers.
At least it's good news...
However, the strange things those people said were indeed quite amusing.
Dou Tang then checked his various chats and found that since he sent the message that he was returning from Pu'an City, he had received many more messages.
One of the messages he received last night made him immediately stop in Bengbu.
"Kiryu-kun, I'll come visit you tomorrow morning!"
The sender... is Nagaibuki.
It's too late to reply now; I can't exactly say I didn't see it last night, can I?
Isn't today supposed to be class time? Doesn't that guy have to attend class?
Dou Tang checked the time; it was a little past eight. Given that guy's serious nature, he should arrive around nine, right?
He glanced at the two girls who had already started catching up on sleep, and decided to... just give up too.
He acted on his thought immediately, putting down his pen and simply lying down on the carpet in a reclining Buddha position, resting his head on his arm and closing his eyes.
He didn't notice that Huaiyin, who was lying on the double sofa, was watching him while secretly doing something.
After a long while, she slowly let out a long breath and closed her eyes.
...Damn it, that really hurt! I hope it won't leave a bruise...
Chapter 164 I still remember you wanted to dress as a woman!
Dou Tang slept until after nine o'clock, and was then woken up by the doorbell.
"Damn it...who is it at a time like this..." Lu Zizhen cursed, rubbing her eyes.
“These are my classmates. Wake up! It’s not appropriate for people to see you sleeping on the sofa in broad daylight.”
As Dou Tang spoke, he stood up.
"I don't care!" Lu Zizhen simply wrapped herself completely in the blanket.
Huaiyin was very obedient. She rubbed her eyes, got up, put the blanket aside, and knelt down in front of the table, waiting quietly.
Dou Tang arrived at the door and opened it.
When Chang Yichui saw the door open, he was overjoyed. When he saw Dou Tang, he smiled sweetly, his eyes crinkling. Combined with his androgynous appearance, Dou Tang shuddered.
Why isn't this guy a girl...?
"Kiryu-kun, so you're home! That's great!" Cho Ibuki exclaimed, carrying a box with great joy. "You didn't reply to my messages last night, I thought you hadn't seen them and that you wouldn't be home today!"
Dou Tang scratched his head, led him through the door, and said, "Uh, I was a little busy last night and only just got back. There was just too much to do."
"Thank you for coming to see me, Changjun."
Chōjun held up the box in his hand and said, "Welcome back, Kiryu-kun. This is a cake from my favorite shop. I hope you like it."
Dou Tang took the box and smiled, saying, "You've come all this way, why bring a gift..."
Such a greeting is not common in Japan, but it was clear that Michiko Sada understood it. Even though she was muffled under the blanket, she let out a snicker, which attracted Nagaibuki's attention.
Nagaibuki first saw Huaiyin, then the unidentified creature curled up on the sofa, and laughed, "So Huaiyin is here too. And who is that...?"
Dou Tang said helplessly, "That's Lu Zizhen."
