After all, given her personality, she is indeed easily misunderstood, appearing rather aloof.

However, if you spend more time with her, you'll find that she's a very frank and good girl.

"Aren't you and Ashia-chan in the same class? Why are you throwing a tantrum?"

"Of course not! It's just that she's been busy with family matters lately, so she always looks very tired. Even though it's summer, she's holding some kind of 'Dragon King Tournament' and saying she has to entertain a lot of people. She's so busy that I don't want to bother her."

"Oh, I see. That must have been very tiring."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye laughed heartily, showing no sympathy for the child's hardships, but rather a hint of schadenfreude.

Of course, that wasn't actually the case; he was just relieved.

"Tch, wasn't this prepared for you, 'Dragon King'?"

Kyoka rolled her eyes at him, her eyes showing obvious disdain, and uttered a strange title.

This guy, who clearly prepared this for him, is smiling so happily. Does he think it's something to be proud of that a girl has prepared something so carefully for him?

Does "Dragon King" refer to the "Dragon King" in Shogi?

However, the Seven Sins, who were originally in the painting, couldn't help but show a slightly puzzled expression when they heard this title.

After all, this title sounds... familiar. We probably don't use this title normally, right?

"Yes, 'Dragon King' is one of the highest titles in shogi. The 'Dragon King' tournament, the highest title in the shogi world, will be held soon. Someone won the Dragon King tournament last year and even got the title of 'the youngest Dragon King in history'."

"So that's how it is... You really are the 'Dragon King'! I thought you were just bragging."

Kyoka quickly explained, which made Nanami somewhat understand, and she then complained to Byakuya with a strange expression.

Although it seems that he often plays shogi with Kurumi and Nia, she herself has basically never interacted with them.

Her knowledge of shogi was limited to a novel called "The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!"

Yes, it was written at night. Although she couldn't understand the rules, she read it with great interest.

But she really didn't expect that Ye was actually the "Dragon King"!

"Haha~ Don't even mention you, I almost forgot myself, after all, it's been a long time since I've played in a competition~ I only play a few matches a month, I haven't played much."

But Bai Ye himself was all smiles and waved his hand dismissively.

Playing shogi was just a hobby for him; he didn't devote much energy to it.

He was just short of money for a while, so he "casually" won a large prize in the Dragon King Battle, and then he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Tch, you always say that, bragging like that, it's so annoying. Be careful you don't lose this time, don't forget, your opponent is also a super expert, that 'celebrity'."

"Really? That guy made a bet with me on chess last month and lost a house to me. I guess it'll be about the same this time."

"..." x2

Are we playing this high?

"I'm back~"

But just then, a familiar, gentle voice came from the direction of the door, and soon the door was opened.

Qian's slender figure quickly came into everyone's view, giving people the same warm feeling as usual.

However, soon everyone noticed that behind her, there were two figures, one in gold and one in silver, who followed her in, making their expressions a little strange.

"Yoru-kun is here too~ I just heard Miss Alice say she was looking for you, and I didn't expect to run into you here~ Dong."

(I fell asleep while writing on Qidian and woke up at 11 am. This state is really not right, but I'll still try my best to update! I will write more than a million words! Please support me. Also, everyone should know who Yashia is, right? Don't forget the title of this volume~)

Chapter 112: This is for adults only! (Please subscribe!)

"Long time no see, Teacher Ye!"

"Oh, Miss Alice and Miss Saber too. What brings you here today?"

Seeing these two familiar figures appear alongside Qian, Bai Ye wasn't particularly surprised. He already knew from Qi Zui about their previous visit to Qian.

Theoretically speaking, this is quite normal, since one of them is an editor and the other is an illustrator, and they have a lot of overlap in their work.

Qian is an illustrator signed with their publishing house, and with her drawing skills, the illustrations she creates are naturally quite exquisite.

Qian herself only accepts outside manuscripts after completing the tasks assigned by the publishing house.

The workload itself isn't actually that heavy, but when you include external tasks, it becomes quite staggering, which explains why she often collapses from exhaustion.

"Teacher Ye's way of speaking makes it feel like this is your home~"

However, after hearing his words, the silver-haired woman laughed and teased him, looking quite relaxed.

But Bai Ye didn't believe Qian's earlier statement about "just happened to be there".

They must have known he was here, which is why they came back directly.

"I do come here often; this place is practically my second home, so there's no problem..."

"Who said this is your home!" But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an angry Kyoka, who retorted sharply, making the atmosphere light and cheerful.

However, only Seven Sins' expression looked a little subtle.

Although she appeared to be still painting, her eyes secretly swept over the three newly appeared people.

The timing of these events is too coincidental; could it really be...?

Although Seven Sins had never used any abilities or tried to do so, she still thought of a possibility that she didn't really want to know about.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Speaking of which, 207, what do you guys want from me? You're not going to call me because the weather forecast was wrong, are you?"

Bai Ye smiled and held out his hand to the girl in front of him, who was swinging her little fists and throwing wild punches at him. He let her do whatever she wanted.

However, he himself didn't pay any attention to it, but instead looked at Alice and said something that seemed a bit strange.

But apart from Kyoka, who looked confused, and Akane, who had a big smile on her face, everyone else present knew what he meant.

"Of course not~ But it would be even better if Teacher Ye could take responsibility for this. We were so busy and overwhelmed before, there were people everywhere, and we finally had to ask Teacher Qian from nearby for help to get out of trouble~"

Alice smiled and accepted the reply, but the complaint in her eyes was obvious.

You have to understand, there was no spacequake just now, so they could only use their spiritual power to search for the other party's location. And... there was also rain and traffic jams, which was really too troublesome!

When Alice thought of this, she couldn't help but twitch her eye.

I didn't feel anything unusual at all, since even if I were to go after the "elves," there was no one watching.

But they really got scammed this time.

I didn't expect that the road would be so crowded with people and vehicles so early in the morning that I couldn't move much at all.

Even if she wanted to park, there was no way. Saber couldn't be too far away from her, and she couldn't just run out, because there were people everywhere outside.

So eventually they got trapped inside.

In the end, they used the magical costume called "cell phone" to notify Akane to come over, and finally found a "special passage" to leave.

But by the time they got there, there was no one left.

Sigh, these "big cities" are really difficult to manage, they're just too troublesome!

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just around here anyway~"

Qian smiled gently, still as gentle and soft-spoken as ever.

"What an adorable little bunny~ Is this child Seven Sins's?"

But her eyes immediately fell on the doll next to Seven Sins, and she asked with a smile.

"...No, someone left it with me temporarily, and I'm going to return it to her later."

Seven Sins paused for a moment, then took a breath and said quietly, pretending not to care...

However, when Akane walked over with a smile and tried to pick up the doll that was placed to the side, Seven Sins suddenly snatched the doll away, placed it on her lap, and continued drawing as if nothing had happened.

Qian's smile froze for a moment, becoming very stiff.

"Can I take a look? Such a cute child!"

“No, I need to make sure it’s intact before I return it to her. I’m worried you might be reckless and destroy it as soon as you get your hands on it.”

"I won't hurt it~"

I believe you will.

"..."

When Seven Sins said this, he glanced at Akane in front of him, and Akane's smile became even brighter.

However, there was an inexplicable heaviness in the atmosphere between the two, making Kyoka, who was standing to the side, feel at a loss for words. It felt so oppressive, completely different from usual...

"Well~ I didn't expect that's how I'm seen in Seven Sins' eyes, that's a shame~"

However, at this moment, Qian smiled and waved her hand, then sat down and started working as usual.

But she still smiled and suddenly said these words to Bai Ye.

"Speaking of which, Night Lord, didn't you have something to discuss? Why don't you go outside and talk? We need to get to work here~ Please don't disturb us here~"

“…Oh, Miss Alice, let’s go.” Bai Ye’s expression changed slightly, and then she looked at Qi Zi. Seeing that Qi Zi was also nodding at her, Bai Ye sighed.

"Hmm, it's better to go outside and say it~" Alice also showed a bright smile, and left the scene together with Byakuya and Saber (bgbc).

It seemed rather inexplicable; everyone just left without any apparent reason.

"Huh? You're all leaving? Then I..."

But after the three of them left, Kyoka felt awkward.

The atmosphere was awkward as one side wanted to go out to discuss matters, while the other side remained behind.

She was the only one who didn't know what to do.

I was originally thinking that with Bai Ye and Qi Zui coming over today, we could play some games, but given the current situation, it seems like we won't be able to...

"Kyoka-chan, why don't you go out and have some fun with Yoru-kun and the others? I still have some work to do that I need to tell Nanami-chan~"

"Huh? Can't I watch?"

"This is for adults only~"

"Uh...I know."
