Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 255 Your Flower Ticket (I)
"It's raining too hard today. Should we stay in the hotel?"
"Okay, I'll have five-eye fried rice for lunch."
"But we are eating five-eye fried rice for breakfast now! Are you the God of Five-eye Fried Rice? You have to eat five-eye fried rice for every meal!"
"If I'm not the god of five-eye fried rice, I'll have to eat the ramen from that restaurant's cart for dinner, and a pizza with meat on it for supper."
"You are not the God of Five-Eyed Fried Rice, you are the God of Food! Do you have any other requests, my Princess?"
"You have to watch Fate/Zero with me tonight."
"You actually know how to follow anime!"
"I hope to see the ending before I go home. There are no serialized animations to watch at home, so I can only watch the completed ones. I don't want to wait that long."
Lu Mingfei smiled and said, “The new series is updated with one episode every week. According to the current progress, it will take half a year to complete. Princess, you haven’t been away from home for as long as half a year.”
Of course she would never say such words. Her only goal was to make Eri happy. These days, she would come to express her condolences every day with big and small bags. Every time she opened the door, Eri would stand in front of the door and rush over. Not to hug her, but to take the snacks she was carrying as soon as possible. It was as if she had a small Pomeranian at home.
This was a strategy jointly formulated by Chu Zihang and Caesar. They now held the two family heads, Yuan Zhisheng and Eiry, in their hands, and the bargaining chips were very heavy. Yuan Zhisheng was very easy to take care of, while Eiry's side was handled by Lu Mingfei. The two big brothers provided sufficient financial support for Lu Mingfei to coax the princess.
But every time Lu Mingfei spent money, she wanted to save money because of her small-peasant mentality. Later, she thought that she was spending money for Hui Liyi, so she just gritted her teeth and spent it all. It was not that she was too frugal, but every time she spent money, she remembered that the money was earned by her two senior brothers selling their bodies, so she couldn't do it. When she and Hui Liyi were sitting in the hotel drinking happy water and enjoying pizza with toppings, Chu Zihang and Caesar might be forced to drink and play finger-guessing games with a group of fat women, holding back tears, being touched all over, biting their lips and blushing... This scene is really heartbreaking.
"Sakura, don't you have to go to work? I think everyone has to go to work."
Eri and Lu Mingfei played games side by side. They bought a console temporarily and plugged it into the hotel's TV, and also had a matching game disc. When they were alone, she would talk to Lu Mingfei, and Lu would only report at mealtime. When playing games, they would always talk about various topics. Recently, Eri's topic shifted from anime and games to Lu Mingfei. This girl who ran away from home as soon as she saw him only remembered to ask about the situation of the people around her after more than half a month. I really don't know whether to say that she was too careless or didn't consider the possibility of danger at all.
"You have to go to work. You see, I'm gone after dinner every night, and I can only come to see you in the early morning." Lu Mingfei picked up the gamepad and had no intention of giving way. But Eri was also an expert. They were usually inseparable, so they had to rely on chatting to find flaws. "So I told you that you don't have to wait for me. It's not a good thing to go to bed so late every day."
"It's okay, I can get up at twelve o'clock." Eri answered easily.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." When Eri is with Lu Mingfei, she naturally tends to become a stay-at-home girl. She is not like ordinary girls who have people chasing her and places to play. Her current world is just a small room with too much time to spare. In her opinion, nothing is more important than . Sleeping and other things can be postponed. Anyway, no priest will knock on her door here.
"Then you'll have acne in a few days. Go to bed early and get up early!" Lu Mingfei said sternly, acting like you have to listen to your sister's words.
"No. " Eiry held her breath, her cheeks slightly puffed up as she opposed Lu Mingfei. The attacking method of the character she controlled suddenly became fierce. In fact, with her skills, she could crush Lu Mingfei. If she was angry, she would not give in to her.
When they first met, Lu Mingfei always thought that she was a girl as pure as a blank sheet of paper, but once they got to know her, she realized that the real Eri was a willful underworld princess. With her identity, of course she could be willful. She should be treated like a jewel wherever she goes. She just seems so easy to control when she is not familiar with you.
"Be obedient!" Lu Mingfei quickly accepted the attack. If she didn't resist, she would have to lie on the ground.
"You can't beat me, why should I listen to you?" The health bars of both sides on the screen were already 50% apart, and Eri was sure of winning.
"Although I can't beat you in the game...but I can in real life!"
Seeing that she was about to lose by a single drop of blood, Lu Mingfei quickly threw away the handle to save her elder sister's reputation. She went around behind Eiry, put her hands under her armpits, picked her up and threw her onto the bed. She then rode on her with a sinister grin, and took advantage of her weak spots by tickling her.
"Do you accept it? Do you accept it? How dare you disobey your sister!"
She thought that this move would definitely make Eri laugh and beg for mercy, but Eri just watched her go crazy quietly without any expression, as if those weaknesses that were unbearable for ordinary people were of no concern to her.
Eiry suddenly turned over, and Lu Mingfei fell on the mattress with a scream. Before she could resist, Eiry imitated her and rode on her in the same position, gaining the upper hand.
"I'm not ticklish." Eri looked at her as if she was looking at a piece of fish on a chopping board, "But I don't know if you are ticklish."
Lu Mingfei thought to herself that it was bad and turned around to run away, but Eriyi quickly caught her. She attacked the same place where Lu Mingfei had attacked just now. Only people who are ticklish would think that others would be ticklish in the same place. Now it was Lu Mingfei's turn to be in the clutches. Eriyi only needed to gently tickle her twice to make her bend and twist like a shrimp. Her dignity as a big sister was completely lost... But she still didn't want to give in! She had been cute enough in this life, and she wanted to be mature and stable!
"Where does Sakura work? Can I go and see?" Just when Lu Mingfei couldn't hold it anymore and was about to beg for mercy, Eri suddenly stopped. In fact, she had been expecting this question for a long time. A girl who ran away from home would certainly not willing to stay in a hotel.
"No, the risk is too great." Lu Mingfei shook her head.
"But you said it's okay for us to go out like this now." Eri shook the suspender dress on her body. It was a simple spring garden style, with a shoulder-less top. Because she was in a hotel, she didn't wear a coat. Her hair was no longer as straight as before. Lu Mingfei took her to the hair salon downstairs for a transformation. Now her hair was as fluffy as a lady's. She also used some bangs to reduce the area of her face, so it was hard to recognize that she was the same person as before.
Eri's clothes are light blue, while Lu Mingfei's are the same mint color. If two of them go out holding hands like this, they could easily be mistaken for good friends. Moreover, in Japan, when girls hold hands in public, it also implies that they are a couple. Even if the gangsters from the Snake Eight Clan passed by and took a few more glances, they would not be able to match the current Eri with her old photos. Image transformation is the best way to disguise herself.
So these days they would go out to play for a while every afternoon, and then take a taxi to the ramen chef's food cart at dinner time. Eri said that she didn't know why, but she always felt that the ramen there had a different flavor and she liked it very much.
At first, Lu Mingfei was quite scared. The moment she turned her head, the underworld princess disappeared. She would never be found again in the vast sea of heat. Even when she was queuing to buy a drink, she would turn back from time to time to confirm her location. When Eri wanted to eat ice cream at the amusement park, Lu Mingfei went to buy it herself, but the mobile ice cream cart was shaking its copper bell and running farther and farther. When Lu Mingfei caught up with it, it had already run nearly 500 meters.
Lu Mingfei ran back to the place where she and Eri separated, sweating and holding two ice cream cones. In the gap between the crowd, Eri was sitting obediently on a bench, with her hands folded on her knees. The wind blew her skirt and long hair together, like a beautiful girl figure from an anime. From then on, when Lu Mingfei went out, she felt more at ease to leave Eri a little to do something. Eri would stay there and wait for her, doing nothing, but looking up at her when Lu Mingfei came back, her eyes full of anticipation for where we were going next.
If this continues, Lu Mingfei feels that she will really become the kind of person in the legend. The three major crimes are smuggling nuclear weapons, terrorist attacks, and raping young girls. Now she is only missing the last one... It seems that trafficking is not much different from that. Eri will go wherever she says to go. Now it should be no problem to trick her into going to the United States to spend the rest of her life. It would be fine if she is not caught. If she is exposed, I don’t know if the Sheqi Eight Clan will sue her for trafficking...
It was too late to come to her senses now. From the moment she joined Kassel Academy, she had actually become a madman from which there was no turning back.
"You have to be careful. You can't do whatever you want just because you have a way to fight back." Lu Mingfei said softly, "You don't want to be discovered when you go out and have to go home in shame, right?"
The word "home" seemed to be a curse that would make people unhappy. The light in Eri's eyes dimmed, and she became the Eri who was confused about the world at the beginning. Every day now is a hard-earned surprise, how can you ask for more?
Lu Mingfei noticed that Eri was in a low mood, but she had no way to comfort her, so she pretended to be relaxed and stood up to touch Eri's head: "If it rains, take a good rest today. In fact, I have a lot of things to do at work these days. I have to go there early in the afternoon because I have important arrangements tonight. If you come tomorrow, I will bring you something more delicious!"
Eiry nodded silently and seemed to have recovered a little. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that she was a foodie. A girl who loves to eat is probably the happiest person in the world, because eating is the easiest way for humans to gain happiness. As long as she has an appetite, she will be able to cheer up again.
Lu Mingfei opened her arms and hugged Eriyi and touched her forehead. This is what they would do when they parted now, which means goodbye tomorrow. Eriyi also hugged Lu Mingfei, sat down on the bed and picked up the controller to indicate that she was fine. Lu Mingfei left with peace of mind.
I kept listening to Lu Mingfei's footsteps getting farther and farther away until she walked downstairs. Lu Mingfei didn't know that Eri's hearing was so good, which was why Eri always opened the door the first time she knocked, because the moment she walked into the hotel, Eri was waiting at the door, and Eri could hear the different footsteps of each person.
After confirming that there was no problem, Eri stood up and walked to the balcony and knocked rhythmically on the French window. A black figure immediately turned over from outside the balcony. The white shirt and high-waisted pants set off a pair of long legs to the fullest. Jude Mai calmly opened the French window and walked into the room.
"What do you want?" she asked.
If you are lucky enough to see this scene, Lu Mingfei will exclaim that this is not a housekeeper, but a ninja! Because Jiude Mai climbed up from downstairs completely with her bare hands. She lives in the room downstairs. Knocking on the French window was the signal she told Eri, so that Eri only needs to call gently when she needs it. Usually, they will not stay in the same space, so Eri and Lu Mingfei have plenty of private time to meet.
"I want to see where Lu Mingfei works." Eri wrote in a small notebook for Jude Mai to see.
She used Chinese characters for the three words "Lu Mingfei", but because she was not very proficient in writing, it was a little awkward. She knew that this was Sakura's real name, because this ninja lady called Sakura that way. Although she didn't know why Sakura refused to tell her real name, she must have her own reasons. In Eri's eyes, Sakura was an angel lady who had come to the world. An angel lady must have a big secret and couldn't easily reveal her name, blah blah...
This kind of Chuunibyou worldview has existed in Eri's head for many years. She has watched too many anime and is very good at imagining things. So she really wants to know Sakura's secret. She guesses that Sakura must be doing great things every night. Maybe she is a magical girl, just like Madoka and the others, protecting the love and peace of the world. Otherwise, why can she see herself helpless in the vast crowd?
"Are you sure?" Jiude Mai frowned slightly, "That place is a bit mixed, I don't think it's suitable for you."
The Chip Girl has successfully received the Caesar team. Every night after Eri falls asleep, Jude Mai will go over there to check on her. She has a heavy workload.
"But I would be very happy if I went. Didn't you say your mission is to make my life full of happiness?" Although she rarely goes out, Eri is not stupid when it comes to persuading people, "Keep your word."
Jiude Mai was silent for a while: "Okay, but you have to change your clothes, clothes that are not too conspicuous."
"Remember not to tell Lu Mingfei." Eiry's eyes came alive again, and she felt that there must be a big surprise tonight.
