Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 281: Blooming Cherry Blossoms at the Foot of Mount Fuji (I)
Lu Mingfei slowly opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling of the love hotel. It depicted a group of scantily clad men and women in the style of Ukiyo-e. Before going to bed every night, Lu Mingfei would turn off the desk lamp, otherwise Eri would stare at the vivid pictures with wide eyes and ask her what they meant. She couldn't give a vivid physiology course to the innocent girl... She could only smile awkwardly and say that they were playing games. This was euphemistic and not a lie, and Eri would understand in the future.
Just as she was about to get up and take a look, she immediately felt a wave of soreness and weakness all over her body, as if she was a wife who had just spent her wedding night. She was not in pain, but just tired after a whole night.
She was wondering if someone had slept with her when she suddenly realized there seemed to be something under the quilt. She quickly pulled it open and saw Eri sitting on the tatami, sleeping on Lu Mingfei's thighs, like a cat lying on the bed looking at its owner.
That is definitely not a comfortable position, but Lu Mingfei's thighs are quite plump, and they are still reliable as a nap cushion. She once provided Chu Zihang with such a knee pillow service. Although the man surnamed Chu did not understand what the benefit was, he gave it an excellent evaluation in the end. I really don't know where Eri got this secret from, or maybe it was because Lu Mingfei's thighs were so smooth and white when she fell asleep, so it was a waste to leave them alone, so she just used them as a pillow.
It was a beautiful scene. The beautiful girl was as quiet as water, with her long eyelashes drooping down, thick as curtains in the morning light. She looked so peaceful and pure when she was sleeping, which made people feel that it would be a sin to disturb her accidentally, or that she would be burned on the stake.
But Lu Mingfei was a little sad. A girl like her should live a life of pearls and jade, picking stars and using them as hairpins at will, BlingBling, but now she stayed in such a small hotel, a room was everything to her. At home she was a bird in a cage, and here she was still a canary being raised. The beautiful lark could only sing beautifully when it was in the forest. If it was caught and raised, it would never sing again. In that case, even bird lovers would find it boring, right?
Lu Mingfei sat up straight, trying not to move her thighs as much as possible, and began to think about why she was here.
I still remember that before my memory was cut off, it was in Genji Heavy Industries. The steel bars that flew out of the wall pierced her through, and she almost fainted from the pain. Genji Chinu was indeed a stronger demon than his brother. She could tear the bronze vault door with her bare hands. Chu Zihang carried her on his back and Caesar was responsible for protecting Genji Chinu and leading the way. Although everyone was injured, they finally escaped successfully along the same route. I don't remember what happened after that. I just remember that Chu Zihang held her hand to comfort her at the end, because he had to pull out the more than one-foot-long steel bar directly. The moment he did it, Lu Mingfei couldn't bear it, and her eyes went black in pain.
Sigh... it seems like I am the one who is letting the team down again. It is said that every good team should have a strong fighting leader, a smart wise guy, a good-for-nothing but strong guy, and a useless guy who just eats and waits to die, and occasionally tells jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
Lu Mingfei felt that she was undoubtedly the last one in the team. It would have been fine if she was not strong enough to resist being beaten, but she was just unlucky to be beaten so badly in the first hit. With this luck, she should win at least one or eight hundred thousand in lottery tickets.
In the past, she really didn't like calling a girl a vase, but now she had to admit it. What is a vase? This is a vase! Being pretty can't make a living. If the Japanese entered Kassel, the first person they would look for would definitely be the school beauty, but the school beauty would break into pieces as soon as they touched her!
I subconsciously touched the injured area, and found that my lower abdomen was flat, surprisingly without scars. Normally, a wound of that severity would take at least ten days or half a month to heal. Could it be that I would wake up a month later after I closed my eyes?
Perhaps she noticed that Lu Mingfei had woken up, so Eiry drowsily raised her head and yawned. When she saw Lu Mingfei staring at her blankly, her eyes immediately lit up and she came over and gave Lu Mingfei a big hug.
"You finally woke up!" Eri was very happy.
"Fools have good fortunes!" Lu Mingfei felt sore all over, but she still tried to respond and hugged her gently, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Three days."
Lu Mingfei thought to herself that’s okay, I thought it was thirty days.
"When you came here, there was a huge hole in your stomach!" After hugging her enough, Eri sat down on the bed and gestured with Lu Mingfei vividly, "I thought you were going to die, but the person said you could hold on, they just had to send you here to rest, and asked me to help change the dressing. Your wound healed so quickly! I had to reapply the dressing every three hours. There was only a little mark left the next day, and it was gone this morning."
Lu Mingfei thought about it. She had never been injured enough to be sent to the hospital. Although she had been on missions or in battles with Xia Mi before, it was still an exception that a single blow like this could be fatal. One of the most notable characteristics of dragon blood is its extremely strong vitality. This is not only reflected in the fact that the dragon gene can easily surpass other genes, but also in the fact that mixed-bloods often recover from illnesses and wounds much faster than ordinary people. Could it be that she was born with supernatural powers, and once she opened up her Ren and Du meridians, she could learn the palm technique that fell from the sky?
"Who sent me here?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"He didn't tell me his name, but gave me a note and told me to call this number if I woke up." Eri pulled out the note that had been hidden under the cup for several days and handed it to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei understood at a glance that the handwriting was Chu Zihang's. The number on the note was the promotional phone number that only VIPs of Takamagahara could know. The store often held some extra party-like activities on weekends, and popular gigolos could call their loyal VIP fans and invite them to participate. This was the store's public landline.
"I'm sorry for staying here for several days. Thank you for taking care of me." Lu Mingfei reached out and touched Eri's hair. "But I have some things to deal with now. I'll come back to play with you after I'm done!"
She grabbed her bathrobe and headed downstairs to the phone booth.
Half an hour later, across from the Love Hotel, there was an older five-story building, which was also a Love Hotel. When Chu Zihang, Caesar and Lu Mingfei walked to the front desk and asked the landlady for a room for three people, the landlady looked up at the three people with different styles. The woman in the middle was petite and wearing a bathrobe, and the men on the left and right were heavily made up and looked like international superstars. When she looked at Lu Mingfei again, her expression was very meaningful, which made Lu Mingfei frown as she took the key.
"Seeing you still alive and kicking is better than anything else." Caesar put the fruit basket he brought on the table. He originally thought that Lu Mingfei would be lying on the bed pretending to be dying to make him happy, but he didn't expect that when they met, she jumped three feet high and waved from a distance. She looked like a Daluo Jinxian possessed.
"I just look fine! I almost rolled down the stairs when I was going downstairs just now, and my whole body is sore." Lu Mingfei curled her lips. Even if she could break a skull with her bare hands at home, she had to act weak in front of Chu Zihang. What's more, she was really uncomfortable now, and she didn't want to move at all after sitting down.
"The muscles have not yet adapted to the symptoms, but they will fully recover in a few days." Chu Zihang also put the bag he brought behind him, and it seemed that he had no intention of using it for the time being.
"A lot of things happened in the past few days." Caesar said, "Yuan Zhisheng's memory has been restored, and he had a fight with his brother. Both of them were seriously injured. It will be difficult for them to cause any trouble for a while. Xiyue and Finger are watching over them separately to prevent them from smashing the boss's store again."
"Senior Brother Loser has also come to Japan?" Lu Mingfei was surprised.
"He's not coming here. He was originally on a mission in Japan and only contacted us recently. Although he is my Minister of Information, I have to be honest and say that he may not be of much use." Caesar shrugged. He has always been good at judging people.
"But his dog nose is very sensitive! Maybe he can help us find Herzog and Tachibana Masamune!" Lu Mingfei knows more about Finkel than Caesar.
"The blockade of Kaguya-sama has not been lifted yet. Without the Internet, even intelligence experts will be limited." Chu Zihang said, "It will take time for Yuan Zhisheng to join our camp, but he doesn't seem to have gotten over the shadow of his brother. However, he did reveal some news about Eri to us. Caesar and I discussed it and plan to come over to see her when you wake up."
"Didn't you see her when you sent me here last time?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Yes." Chu Zihang nodded. "I found out after meeting her that she can't speak or use sign language. She can only communicate by writing in a small notebook. But I can see that she has a good relationship with you. She was very sad to see you injured and asked me what I could do. I gave her all the medicine and told her what to do."
"She's a princess of the underworld. She probably has never had the time to take care of others... Brother, it's really inappropriate for you to do this." Lu Mingfei sighed, "I always feel that she is very pitiful. In fact, I also plan to let you meet her. Now the head of the Sheqi Eight Clan is gone, and the Yuan brothers and Eri are on our side. I wonder if I can convince the Sheqi Eight Clan to see the truth and stand on our side, although it is difficult."
She stood up and pushed open the window of the room. The small building opposite was also an old five-story building. It was newly painted red on the outside and there was a circle of colorful lights around the sign. There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the eastmost room. Through the glass, she could see Eri, who looked like a silk doll, sitting on the ground. She looked like an old monk in meditation, with a harmless look on her face.
This was the first time Caesar saw Eri, and it was also the first time Lu Mingfei saw what Eri looked like when she was not around. Lu Mingfei thought Eri would entertain herself, turn on the TV to watch anime or plug in a game console to play games, but Eri did nothing. She just kept this posture, staring at the direction of the road over the windowsill without moving, as if she could see through the autumn water, looking for something she wanted to see.
Lu Mingfei felt as if someone had secretly pricked her heart with a needle. She realized that Eri was waiting for her. That road was the direction she always took a taxi to the love hotel. Games and anime were not important to Eri. Although she liked those things, she wanted to share them with the person she loved more. If she was alone, then there would only be waiting in her world, just like those dogs lying on the door listening to their owner's footsteps.
But how much time can they spend together? The master has to go out to work, and Sakura has to go back to Takamagahara. The time they can spend together is probably less than one-third of a day, and that includes the time they spend sleeping. It's really pitiful.
Lu Mingfei never knew that when she was asleep, Eri would secretly open her eyes and count her eyelashes one by one under the night light at the bedside. Eri always counted very slowly because she felt that was time. Every time she counted, the time they would spend together that night would be less. So she would always go back and count again when she counted to the last one, thinking that this way she could trick time and make it go slower so that Sakura could stay a little longer.
Eri really wanted Sakura to accompany her more, but she never asked for it, because she knew Sakura had her own things to do. That night in Takamagahara was so happy, with so many people accompanying Sakura, and every girl under the stage was happy for Sakura, and Eri was happy just watching, Sakura was such a great person, worthy of being loved by everyone, as if Sakura was her treasure, people smiled for her, and were also blessing Eri.
"She is indeed a very beautiful girl, with a kind of innocent temperament. Even though I haven't heard her speak, I have already vaguely felt this way." Caesar commented based on his experience with countless self-proclaimed girlfriends, "Gen Chisei said that Eri is the trump card of the Snake Eight Clan. Originally, according to the Ryugen Plan, Eri should have been the last one to carry out the task of sweeping the corpse guards, but because Eri was missing, Gen Chisei had to go on the field. At the same time, using Takemiya Raijin and Wangquan at full power was a huge burden on him, so much so that his brain crashed for a while and he temporarily lost his memory."
"She is a ghost that is even more uncontrollable than Gen Chisho." Chu Zihang said, "You may not have seen it yet, but Gen Chisho told us that if Eri loses control, half of Tokyo may be buried with her."
" So exaggerated?" Lu Mingfei widened her eyes in surprise. In her eyes, Eiry was just a harmless and beautiful girl, the kind that could be hugged whenever she wanted, and as soft as jade. But the two big guys talked about her as if she were a human nuclear bomb, and the little devil's warning was not that exaggerated.
