Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 282: Blooming Cherry Blossoms at the Foot of Mount Fuji (Part 2)
"The high purity of her bloodline even makes her unable to speak normally, right? I'm afraid she was born to speak the language of the dragon clan, so she can't speak to ordinary people." Chu Zihang had never seen it, but he deduced it easily. In Kassel Academy, he had encountered more Deadpools than anyone else. Once the bloodline is highly dragonized, many people who originally could speak human language will only be able to utter dragon syllables, like the growl of wild beasts.
Lu Mingfei did not answer. She could not tell Chu Zihang that she had used the Emperor of Words. Eri could actually speak, but whenever she spoke to someone, that person would die. Now, she could only act like an ordinary girl when she was alone with Lu Mingfei.
"According to the Abraham Blood Covenant of the Secret Party, all mixed-races with highly dangerous bloodlines must be supervised by the Secret Party. If this cannot be done, they will have no choice but to be eliminated," said Caesar.
Lu Mingfei stood up suddenly and took a guarded posture. She didn't expect Caesar to say such a thing. The way he looked at him was as if he was looking at his enemy.
"I won't let you do that." Lu Mingfei spoke word by word.
"I knew you would have this reaction!" Caesar snapped his fingers, showing an expression that said I understand. "If I was with such a beautiful girl every day, I would also jump out to protect her! According to the story of Tachibana Masamune, he raised Eri and Minamoto Chisho for their bloodlines. Minamoto Chisho became the heir of the Eight Snake Families, and Eri had her blood stolen by Tachibana Masamune. He couldn't stand the toxicity of high-purity dragon blood and aged rapidly. Regardless of whether Eri is a ghost or not, this shows that she is an abnormal hybrid we know of so far. She is a rare research subject and a potential danger. It would be best for the academy to take over her. Chu Zihang and I discussed it and planned to send her out, but this requires her own consent. No one can take her away if she doesn't want to, so..."
Caesar chose his words carefully to make his words sound less vulgar. "We hope that you can build a friendly bilateral relationship with Uesugi Eri, so that she will be willing to listen to you and leave Japan."
"What if the academy wants to hurt her?" Lu Mingfei shook her head. She knew Cassel's style. It was not impossible for the academy to eliminate some danger on campus, such as Xia Mi. For example, if the academy knew that her real identity was Jörmungandr, they would probably burn the building where Xia Mi lived to ashes without saying a word that night, and no matter how S-level or the student union president advised, it would be useless.
"I have already compiled the report." Caesar took out a document and placed it on the table, pushing it towards Lu Mingfei. "Eri is also at the right age to go to school. I have prepared two letters of recommendation for her in my own name and in the name of Gen Chisheng. This is in line with the academy's procedures. She will be considered a normal student and enter the academy. Japanese dispatched students do not need to undergo the academy's bloodline review. This way, she can legally and reasonably stay under the academy's supervision, and will not go berserk because of Tachibana Masamune Herzog's covetousness."
Lu Mingfei took the report and examined the text carefully. She trusted Caesar very much. The student union president was an absolute gentleman. Compared with Caesar, other playboys had to stand aside. Caesar, this playboy, had his boundaries. Any beautiful girl in the world deserved his respect, and he was willing to help them, even if he had no interest in them. But as long as they were women, Caesar would not stand idly by.
Chu Zihang silently placed the bags he brought in front of Lu Mingfei: "Low-temperature milk, orange juice, salmon rice balls, and some women's underwear and socks, facial cleansers, sanitary napkins, and some clothes suitable for traveling, all in your size. I don't know about Eri, so it's better for you to buy her things, which will help to enhance the intimacy between the two of you."
"Hey, hey, hey, senior brother, you're acting like you're telling me to pick up girls... You're my real boyfriend, okay? What boyfriend would push his girlfriend to someone else?"
Lu Mingfei opened the bag, and it was indeed filled with her daily style clothes. She looked up at the handsome face that was serious and solemn, and she really didn't know what to say. It seemed that Chu Zihang and Caesar had reached a consensus. These two guys were obviously sworn enemies before, but after coming back from the bottom of the sea together, they seemed to have a much closer relationship. Every time they discussed something, they never thought of telling her first.
If they continue at this pace, I feel like they are no longer Lu Mingfei & Chu Zihang when they leave Japan. Maybe when they return to Kassel Academy they will become a lesbian and gay couple. I wonder how many men and women will cry and say they will never believe in love again.
"Going out for fun costs money. I suggest you take Eri and dress up properly before going out. We're not sure if those two old guys will monitor us. Tokyo is their sphere of influence. It might be better to go somewhere farther away in disguise." Caesar gave the instructions while pulling out bundles of 10,000 yen bills from his bag and slapping them on the table. He looked like bandits who had just robbed a bank and were dividing the loot .
"Where... did you get so much money?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. Looking at the total amount, it was probably several million yen.
"We understand very well that it's difficult to date without money. The gangster princess wouldn't want to eat ramen with a miser, so Chu Zihang and I sold a kidney each to sponsor you!" Caesar's face was serious.
"You have never received a salary. Part of this money is your salary in Takamagahara, and some is mine and Caesar's, as well as a little advance from the boss's wife on future salary. Gen Chinuo also sponsored a considerable part. I don't have much to spend money on, as the store provides food and accommodation." Chu Zihang said.
Lu Mingfei looked at the Japanese yen on the table and suddenly felt a little sad. In fact, she has always been a person who likes money. Because she was poor when she was a child , there were too many rich second-generations and official second-generations in Shilan Middle School. Anything would make her envious. Now there are two big guys sitting in front of her, throwing money at her carelessly, but she doesn't want to take any of it. After all, it is the reward for their hard work. The young master of the Gattuso family and the young master of the Chu family have never asked others for money in their lives, right? Everyone knows that asking for this will make people hate it, but they still did it. How can you refuse?
"In short, your plan is to make Eri trust me completely, and then I will take her to Kassel, right?" Lu Mingfei closed the bag. Asking this question meant that she had joined the plan of her brothers. "The problem is that Yuan Zhisheng hasn't agreed yet, and the Eight Snake Clan are still hostile to us. How can I take her out of the country?"
"Of course you can't take a plane, and you don't have passports, but there is a kind of people who don't look at passports, they only look at money." Caesar took out a business card and handed it to Lu Mingfei, "This ship owner is a human trafficker. If you give him 700,000 yen, he will send someone out of Japan. I have negotiated a deal with him. I will send you to the United States for 1.5 million yen. Once you land, you will be under the surveillance of EVA and contact the academy."
"How did you find this snakehead?" Chu Zihang was very surprised. Caesar had not told him that this had been arranged before. Chu Zihang was still considering waiting for Yuan Zhisheng to nod.
"Some people in the shop were smuggled into Japan by human traffickers. They have no legal identity and only a pretty face, so they work in the gigolo shop. You will get the information if you ask them more questions." Caesar shrugged.
Chu Zihang would never be able to do such a thing, but Caesar was different. He was a social expert, well-informed and usually, as long as he knew the other person's language, he could use a cigar or a bottle of champagne to establish a close relationship with the other person within five minutes.
"Go ahead, comrade, the school beauty of Kassel College!" Caesar suddenly changed to an old Russian tone and patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder vigorously. "I believe that with your charm, it is absolutely easy to get a pure girl! Look at the college, there are so many people in your fan club. What is a mere underworld princess to you? Fortunately, you are not a boy, otherwise I will definitely compete with you in the name of the Sicilian stud Gattuso!"
“Oh my god, boss, if you have no moral integrity, then don’t drag me down with you! You’re making me act like I’m the king of all women!” Lu Mingfei twisted her shoulders to break free from Caesar’s big hand, and picked up all the bags on the table. “I always feel like everything has changed since I came to Japan. If my story is a novel, then the author must be as shameless as you, boss!”
Lu Mingfei's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, and Caesar's instigator's expression gradually faded. Only Caesar and Chu Zihang were left in the room, and there was cheap draft beer on the table. They gave almost all their money to Lu Mingfei, and had to buy the cheapest draft beer to save money. This was a rare experience for Caesar. Japanese draft beer was a bit bitter to him.
"Actually, you hope that Lu Mingfei and the head of the Uesugi family will leave Japan together, right?" Chu Zihang drank beer and looked at the endless rain outside. Tokyo seemed to have gone crazy recently and wanted to bring down everything regardless of the consequences.
"Yes." Caesar nodded, clinking the beer in his hand with Chu Zihang, "Tachibana Masamune was reluctant to take action against Minamoto Chisheng, so he raised Eri for so many years and kept her out of the sun. It's obvious that this girl is very important to her. She can improve the bloodline of others with her own dragon blood. Tachibana Masamune and Herzog got together, and the three children they raised are now on our side. Send Eri away and solve Minamoto Chisheng's knot. In Japan, we will instantly have the strength to face those two old guys head-on. But this is very dangerous. Our opponent may be a god, and we will be crushed to pieces if we are not careful."
"Then why don't you also board that human-smuggling ship?" Chu Zihang said, "This happened on Japanese territory, and the Japanese can handle it themselves."
"Don't provoke me with a style that doesn't belong to you, okay? You know, I value honor very much. According to the prophecy, the four great monarchs have revived in recent years, and now even the white emperor has appeared. As a mixed-blood, how could I miss such an opportunity? Just like those reporters who focus on photographing dangerous natural scenery, the tornado is close at hand, but for the sake of first-hand photography, I am willing to take a risk. If I die, it means that this is a tomb suitable for Caesar. If I live, I will return with glory and happiness to prove my own worth."
"You are truly a natural adventurer. If you were born in ancient times, you would probably be the first person to jump onto a wooden board and set sail for the sea," said Chu Zihang.
"What about you? You are a famous embryo-killing maniac in the academy. I think you should be happy to stay in Japan and fight alongside me, right? When I put forward those ideas, you had no objection." Caesar looked at Chu Zihang with interest.
"You chose to let Lu Mingfei take Eri away because you smelled the danger of a rainstorm and you didn't want any women to get hurt in this chaos. I nodded only out of a sense of responsibility. I hope Eri can enter Kassel to avoid more misfortunes. I also hope Lu Mingfei can stay away from me so that if I die, she won't be so sad." Chu Zihang looked down at the Band-Aid on his arm. It was one of the few things he had left. Lu Mingfei said, "Brother, people like you get hurt all the time, so you must have something on you, even if it's a Band-Aid!" Then she bought a pack from a Japanese pharmacy and stuffed it into his hand.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you so dejected? Do you think you will die if you stay?" Caesar didn't like Chu Zihang's depressed mood. The Chu Zihang he knew should be more decisive and resolute, like a sharp knife that kills people without mercy. "It's come to this point. Don't tell me that you don't care about her at all. What kind of man doesn't care about a girl and goes to a clothing to pick clothes for her?"
"I don't have much sense of reality... or security." It was very difficult for Chu Zihang to explain his own feelings. He was not good at this, but he still tried his best to communicate with Caesar in his own way. "When I knew Lu Mingfei before, she was not as outstanding as she is now. At that time, I just wanted to help her. Now I find that so many people like her, and even when I want to do something for her, someone will get there before me. I think this is good. She should live a happier life and accept the kindness around her calmly. There is no need to always bite me. I can't give her a future in my way."
"Do you think you can make her give up just by saying that?" Caesar let out a stream of disdain from his nose, his face full of arrogance towards fools in love. "Women are like this. They will really risk their lives for love, and sometimes they are even stupid. If she falls in love with a bastard, her life will be ruined."
He patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder and said, "But you are a good guy. Even I, Caesar, think you are a good man. In my opinion, I don't think there is anything wrong with Lu Mingfei. The problem is only with you. But the good news is that although you are not self-aware, you are responsible. As a current boyfriend, you want your girlfriend to go to a safe place. This is a very responsible attitude. There is no need for ladies on the battlefield in Japan. With you, me, and the Genji brothers, it is enough. They have their sister, and we have our team members. Men must fight for women at least once."
"So you think that's all I have to do?"
"Yes, and don't think too much. Just do it your way is the best!" Caesar took the can, clinked glasses with Chu Zihang, and they drank the remaining wine in the can.
