But Sakurai Akira is also quite pitiful. Is it because Sakurai Akira isn't a pretty girl?
Seeing Lu Mingfei stop what he was doing, seemingly lost in thought, Erii wrote something and handed the note right in front of Lu Mingfei's eyes: "Why aren't you eating?"
"Oh, thinking about something." Lu Mingfei picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
"What are you thinking about?" Erii asked curiously.
Lu Mingfei casually remarked with sympathy, "I was wondering what you usually do to pass the time, since you can't go out anyway."
"Playing games, huh?" Erii didn't react strangely to his sympathy.
That's Erii who's trapped. What does that have to do with Erii, who's already free?
"So you're saying you're really good at gaming?"
Lu Mingfei hasn't played games in a long time. It's not that the system won't give him a break, but that he feels the games are no longer interesting.
Erii, recalling how her brother had crushed her in the game, wrote somewhat uncertainly, "Maybe it's good?"
Lu Mingfei smiled when he saw her reply, "We can play a few rounds when you have time. I'm pretty good at games too."
Erii nodded happily when she heard that Lu Mingfei also played games.
Two and a half hours had passed when the two came down from the Sky Tree. The streets were much livelier, with office workers leaving their companies one after another, finally beginning their nightlife.
However, Genji Heavy Industries was an exception. The building remained brightly lit, and everyone looked solemn, with no smiles on their faces.
"Twelve hours have passed! I need to see him alive or dead!" Tachibana Masamune was getting impatient again.
But those who have witnessed his anger can understand it.
If the missing Erii and the head of the Uesugi family are not found, perhaps tonight, tomorrow night, or the night after tomorrow, while they are sleeping, a monster will mercilessly sweep across the entire Tokyo, turning the prosperous city into ruins and a hell on earth.
They might even casually cut them into several pieces while they're fast asleep... Maybe they're not asleep at all, and are still working overtime.
Yuan Zhisheng felt the pressure on his shoulders, which made this executive officer, who had just returned from further studies at Kassel College in the United States, feel suffocated.
After the meeting, only Tachibana Masamune, the patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and Genjiro, the young master, remained in the room.
Tachibana Masamune turned to Genjiro and asked, "You're closest to Erii, where do you think Erii is most likely to go?"
If Erii escaped using her own methods, she would likely visit various tourist attractions.
Genjiro considered this possibility, but after a moment's thought, he gently shook his head.
If Erii truly escaped through her own efforts and intelligence, then she would probably... But if Erii was kidnapped by the Oni Clan, she would probably be restrained, and... she would probably go on a killing spree.
She doesn't want to, and no one can stop her.
Then he asked, "What about the Ghost Gang?"
Erii is a demon, and if information about her identity is leaked, it wouldn't be surprising if the Demon Clan orchestrated this operation.
Tachibana Masamune shook his head: "There doesn't seem to be any movement from the Oni Clan."
After a moment, he suddenly let out a long sigh: "Alas!"
Genjiro didn't know why he sighed; perhaps it was because he had too many things to do...
……
After strolling around Ginza, many of the dazzling lights of this city that never sleeps went out again. Erii wanted to wander around outside for a while longer and had no intention of going back.
Lu Mingfei wasn't in a hurry, and neither was the system.
Before Xia Mi and his group took action against the Qingshan Charity School, Lu Mingfei's task was to squeeze every last drop of value out of Erii.
There was no traffic in Tokyo at almost midnight, and their car cruised leisurely through the vast metropolitan area.
After walking around the port area, Erii said she wanted to go to the beach.
Lu Mingfei readily agreed, and the two went to the beach. This was a tourist beach with few rocks, but the wind was strong at night.
Erii didn't care at all. She took off her shoes, revealing her smooth, white little feet, and ran freely on the soft sand.
Lu Mingfei didn't go crazy with her. He followed behind her in his shoes, wondering if it was a bit unusual for him to come to the beach in the middle of the night and arouse the suspicion of the Snake Clan.
Fortunately, Tokyo is a metropolis with tens of millions of people, and there are people who go crazy on the beach in the middle of the night.
Erii was chasing crabs ahead. The little crabs came ashore from the sea at night, and she spotted them. Then they slipped back into the sea.
Erii followed and went into the sea, leaving Lu Mingfei standing on the shore in a daze.
Seeing the water level reaching Erii's knees, Lu Mingfei asked, "System, can we swim?"
[...Not at the moment...]
Fortunately, Erii didn't go deep into the sea, and she even managed to find a crab in knee-deep water.
She grabbed the little crab and happily walked ashore, wanting to share her joy with Lu Mingfei.
Then the little crab pinched her hand, and in pain she let go. The crab fell into the sea and ran away quickly.
The smile on her face froze.
Lu Mingfei felt that her behavior was quite childish, and he would never do such a thing, but Uesugi Erii's situation was special, so it was normal for her to be childish.
Finally, she managed to find a few seashells in the water and returned to Lu Mingfei's side, but she still regretfully wrote to Lu Mingfei, "That crab got away."
"I caught one."
Lu Mingfei shrugged, and a crab without its large pincers crawled around in his palm.
Erii pointed at the crab in his palm. The crab, which had no large pincers, was helpless against the poke of her finger, and its other newly grown small pincers couldn't even pinch a person.
Erii happily wrote and asked, "Lu Mingfei, you're so amazing! How did you catch him?"
“It passed by my feet and I just picked it up casually,” Lu Mingfei said calmly.
Erii teased the little crab for a while, then wrote to Lu Mingfei, "It's so pitiful, let's release it."
Lu Mingfei thought she would catch it and keep it, but he didn't say anything and handed the crab to her.
Lu Mingfei was quite experienced at catching crabs on the beach, having caught quite a few. However, the easiest to catch were the river crabs that hid in their burrows, though you might end up pulling out a tattooed gangster...
Erii ran to the beach with the little crab in her arms and put it back into the sea.
After releasing the crabs, she took out some seashells and snails from her pocket and wrote a message to Lu Mingfei: "These seashells are pretty, what should I do if I want to keep them?"
"After cooking, just pry the meat out and let it dry," Lu Mingfei said.
Erii nodded with a bright smile.
After leaving the beach, the head of the Uesugi family, with half of his trousers wet, returned to the hotel, still cheerful.
Lu Mingfei did not hand over the snails and shells to the hotel; he planned to let Erii handle them herself.
Since the bed in the original room was broken in two and could no longer be slept in, Lu Mingfei planned to book another room. He couldn't cancel the previous room so quickly, fearing that the state of the bed would attract the attention of the Snake Clan.
"I'll go book two more rooms," Lu Mingfei said to Erii.
However, Erii Uesugi tugged at his sleeve and wrote a message asking, "Now that we're playing the role of a couple, shouldn't we sleep together?"
When Lu Mingfei was explaining the meaning of being in a relationship to her today, he said that being in a relationship means being two very close people who live together, eat together, and sleep together...
"Ok?"
Lu Mingfei was puzzled for a moment, but he nodded in response to Erii's questioning gaze.
"Book a double room."
"Ok sir."
There are two beds in the double room, so there shouldn't be any problem as long as Erii doesn't sleep naked.
Erii, who had just entered the room, happily wrote to Lu Mingfei, "Erii is very happy today."
"Whatever makes you happy." Lu Mingfei asked, "Do you want to shower first, or should I?"
Erii lowered her head to write, but did not answer Lu Mingfei's question.
A note was handed to Lu Mingfei; besides Japanese, it contained four strange characters.
"Eri's Word of Power is called 'Judgment'? Or maybe 'Conviction'? I haven't seen it yet when I activate the Dragon Rune."
[...Dragon Script 'Judgment' and Dragon Script 'Conviction' are being integrated into the Dragon Script font library...]
The system began deciphering the two dragon runes in an attempt to obtain information about them.
Erii wasn't just having fun by herself today; she also remembered what Lu Mingfei wanted.
Lu Mingfei just felt that Erii was lucky that she didn't have any overflowing spiritual power when she thought of those dragon runes and managed to kill him...
"Uh...ok."
Lu Mingfei never uttered the words, "Dragon Script has not been activated."
The system's utilitarian nature still influenced him; he was unwilling to give up what he was entitled to...
Seeing that Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, Erii lowered her head and scribbled: "Eri will slowly remember after activating the Dragon Pattern. Erii is going to take a bath."
After reading her words, Lu Mingfei felt somewhat ashamed, because when Erii said she would take her time to think about it, his first thought was that she was trying to lure him in...
Chapter 104 Praise from Master Yue
The system was fully analyzing the dragon script written by Erii, but Lu Mingfei discovered a problem.
When Xia Mi writes dragon script, it's crooked and looks like scribbles, but Erii's dragon script is... well, it's quite standard?
Lu Mingfei took out paper and pen and tried it out. His dragon script was quite standard.
A rustling sound came from nearby, like someone taking off clothes? But why was it so close?
He looked up in the direction the voice came from, paused for a moment, then quickly turned his head away and said, "You should go into the bathroom to change your clothes. Didn't anyone teach you that?"
Lu Mingfei really didn't look at it on purpose. Who knew that Erii, who is such a grown-up, would change her clothes in front of other people?
Amitabha! I, Lu Mingfei, swear that I did not mean to look... A flash of silver light appeared outside the window, and Lu Mingfei, knowing that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, stopped the vow he was making in his heart.
Although he is certainly innocent.
A rumbling sound came, followed by the pitter-patter of rain; it turned out it was raining outside in the middle of the night.
Erii, having taken off her clothes, didn't seem to care about the rain and thunder outside. She paused for a moment, then, after thinking for a while, she roughly understood what was going on before going into the bathroom.
Hearing the footsteps leave, Lu Mingfei added, "Remember to close the door. Don't change your clothes in front of others in the future."
