Genjiro usually controls Erii too much, not letting her go out to play, making her sleep on time, and requiring her to undergo regular medical checkups. Too many rules bind Erii, trapping this flower that should be blooming in a repressive cage, which gradually leads Erii to rebel. That's why she deliberately protects a male host to prove her growth.

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but think this way.

Sakura's calm voice came from behind.

“Miss Erii is very innocent and has always been very respectful to the young master. There is no such thing as rebellion. The reason why she stands by that host is probably because she really cares about him.”

"Could you even be jealous of that gigolo?"

Genji turned his head to look at Sakura behind him.

The latter took out a small notebook with a cartoon bear on the cover and handed it to Yuan Zhisheng.

"After Miss Erii went missing, I went to the isolation room to look for clues. I found this open notebook on her bed. Perhaps the young master will understand everything after reading its contents."

Yuan Zhisheng took the notebook, but as soon as he turned to the first page, his hand stopped.

Amidst the swirling smoke, one could see the man's slightly furrowed brows as he continued turning the pages. With each page, he would glance at the content for a moment before turning on the next. Later, the page-turning speed increased, and Yuan Zhisheng's expression shifted from deep somberness to complexity, and finally to a wry smile.

When he turned to the last page, Genji closed the notebook, took a deep breath of the cold, stormy air, and seemed to want to calm his mind.

It seems that he, as the older brother, has really overlooked too many things...

A bitter smile crept onto the man's lips. He looked up and seemed to hear the innocent and carefree laughter of a girl coming from the rooftop of Takamagahara.

……

Takamagahara, the rooftop terrace.

Rain streamed down the outer edge of the white awning, like a series of shimmering beaded curtains, and a young couple sat under the awning eating potato chips.

The two were Lin Ye and Erii.

Takamagahara was severely damaged during that kendo competition, and the crowd was too large and chaotic, so Humpback Whale arranged for Lin Ye and Erii to spend time together on the rooftop, giving them ample private space.

Moreover, the entrance to the rooftop is personally guarded by the humpback whale himself, and he will not let anyone pass this time, no matter how much money is offered.

In the distance lies Tokyo Bay. On a clear day, standing on the rooftop, you can see the sun shining on the waves and white seagulls, the sails of ships, and sexy girls dressed in revealing clothes on the sails. But in this torrential rain, all you can see are huge waves crashing angrily against the shore.

The sea breeze blowing over Tokyo Bay lifted Erii's long, dark red hair, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. Her long eyelashes, ruby-like eyes, and the crumbs of potato chips at the corner of her mouth made her look like an adorable little kitten.

"Kenshin, these potato chips are so delicious!" Erii wrote happily in her notebook, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons.

"As long as it tastes good, Kenshin has plenty more here."

As he spoke, Lin Ye kept taking out bags of potato chips from the pocket of his samurai uniform. He placed more than a dozen bags of potato chips on the small table in front of him. There were tomato flavor, barbecue flavor, cola flavor, and so on. Almost every flavor of potato chips was available.

"Whoa, Kenshin Sugokuichi."

Erii's eyes lit up as she looked at the pocket of Lin Ye's samurai outfit, which resembled Doraemon's magic pocket, capable of producing anything she wanted.

"Hey, Erii can take whatever she likes," Lin Ye said with a smile, scratching his head.

He never dreamed that the so-called useless item he had exchanged from the Heavenly Card Drawing System would play such a great role at this moment.

After all, just some potato chips can bring Erii genuine happiness, which is truly priceless!

Of course, it's also because Erii's happiness is very simple. The girl has been trapped in the isolation chamber of Genji Heavy Industries. This is an age when she should be blossoming to the fullest, and she has a very strong curiosity and longing for everything. That's why Erii has this kind of pure happiness.

The items obtained through the All-Heavens Card Drawing System can be stored in the system's built-in storage box. Lin Ye can obtain them out of thin air with just a thought. The reason he took them out of his pocket was naturally to keep a low profile. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives discovered that he could conjure things out of thin air, it would be a matter that couldn't be explained in a few words. He might even be imprisoned.

"Kenshin, my brother is actually a very good person and has a strong sense of justice. He was about to attack you this time because he was worried about me. Can you... can you please not blame him?"

Erii, looking apologetic, held up her little notebook for Lin Ye to see.

"Eri, don't worry at all. Of course I know your brother is doing this for your own good, so I definitely won't blame him," Lin Ye quickly reassured her, his eyes twitching.

In the original Dragon Raja novel, the giant tortoise is so ruthless that he would even stab his own brother. This man is willing to pay the most terrible price for the justice in his heart. How could Lin Ye dare to be an enemy of such a ruthless person?

"Can you still sign my autograph, Kenshin?" Erii asked, holding up her little notebook with eager eyes.

She felt she was being too greedy, making Kenshin compromise time and time again, and wondered if she had gone too far.

"Signing is fine, but not in this spot," Lin Ye said, pointing to his chest.

Even if he had the guts to do something crazy tonight, he wouldn't dare sign Kenshin's name on Erii's chest. He hadn't forgotten the look in Genji's eyes when he turned around and looked at him as he walked out of Takamagahara. That look was more than just meaningful. Lin Ye felt that if he really signed it, he might be thrown into the sea tonight, and a cute sailor's knot would be tied around his neck.

"Kenshin, Erii can sign her name wherever you want."

Upon hearing that Lin Ye was willing to sign her autograph, Erii was overjoyed, her beautiful cheeks flushing red as if she had applied rouge, making her look radiant and charming.

This is too much!

Lin Ye swallowed hard.

What do you mean by "anything is fine"? Can you please stop using this to test our cadres?

“Now Erii, close your eyes and then give me your hand.”

"Um!"

Erii obediently closed her beautiful eyes and stretched out a hand towards Lin Ye.

Lin Ye reached out and held the girl's fair, jade-like hand. At the moment of intimate contact with that softness, his heart involuntarily skipped two beats.

He silently recited the Diamond Sutra to suppress his restless heart, his expression becoming solemn and dignified. Then he used the index finger of his other hand to trace a line in the girl's palm.

A tingling sensation surged from her palm, and Erii subconsciously twisted her body slightly, feeling as if Lin Ye's writing on her palm was directly engraved into the depths of her heart.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now," Lin Ye said.

"Hey, Kenshin, I don't see any signature on my palm?" Erii looked at her palm several times, but couldn't find any trace of a signature.

"Because I didn't sign with a pen, but with my finger," Lin Ye said.

"Why?" Erii asked curiously in her notebook.

"The ink from a pen will eventually fade, but if you sign it here, it will never fade." Lin Ye pointed to his chest. "Although it's signed on the palm of your hand, you can sense it if you pay attention."

"...Ugh!"

Erii nodded in deep agreement. When Lin Ye signed his name just now, she did feel a tingling sensation in her heart, as if the words were truly engraved on her heart.

“Kenshin, but it seems you signed ‘Lin Ye’.”

The girl recalled the words Lin Ye had written on her palm and couldn't help but ask in her notebook.

Lin Ye looked at Erii and said with unprecedented seriousness, "Eri, you must remember, Kenshin is just my nickname in Takamagahara. My real name is Lin Ye."

"Lin... Ye".

Erii parted her cherry lips slightly and slowly uttered those two words. Instantly, the wind and rain around them became sharp, and the sunshade that had been blowing in the wind suddenly tightened, as if it might turn into butterflies at any moment.

Centered on Erii, a terrifying aura instantly spread out.

Erii's words caused some of her spiritual power to leak out again, but Lin Ye did not back down this time. Instead, he straightened his back and looked resolute, like a warrior made of iron.

"Okay! From now on, Erii will call you Lin Ye!"

Like a dream, the terrifying atmosphere dissipated in an instant, and the wind and rain became gentle again, Erii wrote in her notebook.

Then the girl became cautious again, as if afraid of provoking Lin Ye's impatience, "Lin Ye, can Erii ask you for one more favor?"

The latter was slightly taken aback, then said sincerely, "Eri, just tell me what you want, as long as I can do it."

"I'd like to invite you to spend a day sightseeing in Tokyo tomorrow. Do you have time?"

"Huh?" Lin Ye was caught off guard.

Erii thought her request had pushed the boy to his breaking point, and quickly apologized, looking aggrieved. "I'm sorry, I know I went too far. I shouldn't have made Kenshin... no, I shouldn't have made Lin Ye compromise time and time again, and made things so difficult for him. It's all my fault, Erii..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Lin Ye quickly interrupted the girl's 'spellcasting' and said with a wry smile, "I didn't say I wouldn't go. Being able to travel with Erii would definitely be a very, very wonderful thing. But, will your brother agree to let you go out and play?"

"My brother will definitely agree!"

Erii's beautiful eyes shone with determination, and she even clenched her little fists.

"...Okay, as long as your brother agrees, I will definitely have a good day of sightseeing in Tokyo with Erii."

"Great!"

……

Rumble!

Half an hour later, outside the gates of Takamagahara, a jet-black Hummer roared through the wind and rain and sped off into the distance.

On the rooftop.

"Finally, we've sent this god away." The humpback whale breathed a sigh of relief, as if it had collapsed from exhaustion.

The situation he faced tonight was more severe than he had ever been in decades. He even thought he would be beheaded tonight, and he was under tremendous pressure both physically and mentally. Now that Yuan Zhisheng has left, all the crises have temporarily come to an end.

Although it's unknown whether this underworld boss will make a surprise attack later, at least for now, his life is not in danger.

Lin Ye stared blankly at the Hummer disappearing into the wind and rain, as if he could still see the stunningly beautiful girl in her shrine maiden outfit through the car window.

Even now, Lin Ye is still in a daze. He never imagined that he and Erii would have such a 'perfect' encounter on such a rainy night.

The girl's stunning beauty, her cuteness and gentleness, and the lingering fragrance of cherry blossoms still filled my nostrils, but it was like... well, damn it, what's that stench of sweat?!

Lin Ye was startled by the sudden stench of sweat, snapping him out of his reverie. His gaze sharpened, and he saw a rough, burly face right in front of him.

"Manager, what are you doing?"

Lin Ye leaned back abruptly, immediately putting distance between himself and the bald, muscular man.

The humpback whale hooked its arm around Lin Ye's neck from the side, a playful look on its face. "Hey Ye, they've already left, why are you still lingering here reminiscing?"

Lin Ye's eye twitched. "Manager, you're overthinking it. Too much has happened tonight, and I need to process it all. Why don't we go downstairs first? The rain is getting heavier."

"Wait, Aye, don't you need to be honest with me about something?"

"Confess what?"

"Of course, it's about you being the direct descendant of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu school. But that's just the first thing. Also, tell me the details of how you got along with that girl named Erii on the rooftop tonight. You know I aspire to the ultimate in flower arrangement, so I need to do some academic analysis and summary of the psychological changes of this type of woman."

By the way, if you already know the girl's specific identity or true identity, please inform her as soon as possible.

The humpback whale, like a serious old scholar, even pushed up non-existent glasses on its nose after speaking.

"Well... it's a long story, manager. Let me sort things out first before I tell you in detail. Or how about we get some braised meat or something, and chat while we drink?" Lin Ye chuckled and rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.

"You can have this."

The humpback whale's eyes lit up, indicating its satisfaction.
