And that mysterious woman he called a lecherous ghost also appeared on time every night. Probably certain that Shen Ye wouldn't bother to catch her, this mysterious woman became bolder and bolder. One night, on Shen Ye's way to take a shower, she actually sat on the wall and watched him openly. Although she was quickly scared away by Shen Ye, Shen Ye estimated that in a few days, she might even dare to break into his bedroom.

This made Shen Ye somewhat worried, as legendary female ghosts were said to suck people's life essence.

Just as Shen Ye was worrying about his precious essence, another day passed, and when he went to the Shiranui Dojo again, there was actually one more person in the dojo.

However, this person was not the man Shen Ye had imagined, but a cute girl with braided pigtails.

When Shen Ye arrived, he saw the cute girl holding Mai Shiranui's hand and shaking it repeatedly, as if she was begging her to agree to something.

As he got closer, he could hear the girl's voice clearly: "Sister Xiaowu, please promise me, I know you received an invitation a while ago, let's team up together."

……

(Let me write out some of the characters from '94 first. Anyway, a month in the main story can take a long time to write, so there's no rush for the main storyline of '94. I feel like it can be finished in a few chapters.)

Chapter 602! Lily Sakazaki

(Due to translation issues, the names of the Sakazaki family members are pronounced in several different ways, so we've decided to standardize them as: father Takuma Sakazaki, brother Ryo Sakazaki, and sister Yuri Sakazaki.)

……

As he got closer, he could hear the girl's voice clearly: "Sister Xiaowu, please promise me, I know you received an invitation a while ago, let's team up together."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye naturally understood why the girl with the braided hair had come, and at the same time, he recognized her identity.

Yuri Sakazaki is the daughter of Takuma Sakazaki, the founder of Kyokugenryu Karate.

This girl is also one of the members of the 94 Female Fighters Team in the original work.

"However, did Teacher Xiaowu receive Rugal's invitation so early? Or was this invitation originally intended for her grandfather, Hanzo Shiranui?"

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Ye continued walking into the dojo without stopping, and soon arrived at Mai Shiranui and Yuri Sakazaki's side.

At this moment, Mai Shiranui, who had been bothered by a strange girl for a long time since early morning, looked somewhat helpless. She did not know the girl in front of her at all, but the girl knew her name and, as soon as she arrived, affectionately grabbed her arm, hoping to team up with her to participate in the KOF competition.

Mai Shiranui instinctively wanted to refuse, after all, she had her own chosen teammates. Although the other party would definitely not agree, and although that thought had faded a lot in the past few days, and although she had gradually lost those feelings for that person, it was still not worth it to team up with a stranger she had just met.

Just as she was pondering how to get rid of the little girl, her gaze fell upon Shen Ye approaching. Ignoring the little girl, she waved to Shen Ye with her other hand and exclaimed in delight:

"Good morning, Xiaoye!"

Good morning, Teacher Xiaowu.

Shen Ye responded, then walked up to the two of them, his gaze lingering on Yuri Sakazaki for a moment before asking Mai Shiranui, "Miss Shiranui, who is this?"

He could only pretend not to know him.

Moreover, judging from Mai Shiranui's expression, she doesn't seem to recognize Yuri Sakazaki at all.

This is normal, though. Not to mention that the world is now a completely different one, and the storyline is different from the original. Even in the original storyline, the two characters' experiences hardly intersected. Even in the King of Fighters backstory, their teaming up was just an accident.

Therefore, the two are now complete strangers to each other.

However, Shen Ye found it a little strange to hear Yuri Sakazaki call Mai Shiranui "Mai-neechan" so affectionately.

After thinking about it, he could only conclude that the two people's fathers, brothers, or grandparents were old acquaintances, and that Yuri Sakazaki had found out about it by chance. This was the only possibility.

Faced with Shen Ye's question, Mai Shiranui was even more helpless. She tried to pull her arm away, but Yuri Sakazaki held it tightly and she couldn't pull it back. She could only say with a bitter face, "I don't know her."

“But I know you, Mai-neechan!” Yuri Sakazaki exclaimed. Then, she remembered something: she hadn’t introduced herself to Mai Shiranui this morning.

So she added, "My name is Yuri Sakazaki, a descendant of the Sakazaki family of Kyokugenryu Karate. As for how I know Mai-neechan's name, it's because I heard it from my brother."

"By the way, my brother's name is Ryo Sakazaki."

“Kyokugenryu Karate, Ryo Sakazaki…” Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui finally showed a look of realization. Although Kyokugenryu Karate has a shorter history than Shiranui-ryu, its reputation in the fighting world is much stronger than that of her declining style.

Moreover, she had met Ryo Sakazaki once when she was in South Town, and her former friend Terry had also mentioned him.

It seems that the previous generations of the Shiranui and Sakazaki families also had a connection, since they were both martial arts families. Even if they were not very familiar with each other, they had heard of each other.

Then she pouted and said, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"I mainly forgot, because I was so happy to find Sister Xiaowu." Sakazaki Yuri scratched her head shyly and stuck out her tongue cutely.

Seeing this scene, Shen Ye found it somewhat amusing. Although Yuri Sakazaki was a year younger than Mai Shiranui, she was taller. It seemed rather incongruous for a tall girl to be acting cute towards a short girl.

but……

Shen Ye looked Sakazaki Yuri up and down, and nodded thoughtfully. Apart from her height, Sakazaki Yuri was inferior to Shiranui Mai in every other aspect. Her breasts were not as big as Shiranui Mai's, her waist was not as thin as Shiranui Mai's, and especially her buttocks were far less full than Shiranui Mai's.

With this comparison, Shen Ye's previous sense of disharmony vanished instantly; it was simply the difference between a little girl and a grown woman.

Of course, this is in comparison to Mai Shiranui. Yuri Sakazaki is quite well-endowed. In comparison, she is only slightly less well-endowed than the Kagura sisters. Compared to ordinary women, Yuri Sakazaki is definitely considered to be very voluptuous. Well, the only drawback is that her butt is a bit small, but she has great potential.

Shen Ye's eyesight is now quite sharp. It might not be as good as Chi's, but he can still get the gist of things pretty accurately.

Just as he was mentally comparing the girls in this world he knew, Mai Shiranui had already invited the two of them into the dojo. After all, once someone comes, they are a guest, and the Shiranui family's hospitality cannot be lacking.

After arranging for the two to be seated, Mai Shiranui went to boil water and make tea, leaving Shen Ye and Yuri Sakazaki alone in the dojo. It was the first time the two had met, and as soon as Mai Shiranui left, they stared at each other wide-eyed.

After staring at each other for a while, the lively Yuri Sakazaki couldn't hold back any longer. At only nineteen years old, her composure was clearly lacking. She awkwardly shifted her position, trying to make herself more comfortable. Then, looking at Shen Ye's cross-legged posture, she asked curiously, "You're not Japanese, are you?"

“A person from Country Z.” Shen Ye was not surprised by Sakazaki Yuri’s question. He had been in Tokyo for so long and had never met anyone sitting cross-legged like her.

"Wow! A foreigner!" Yuri Sakazaki's eyes widened as she looked Shen Ye up and down with great interest.

“My name is Yuri Sakazaki, what’s yours?” she asked again.

"Shen Ye," Shen Ye replied calmly.

Yuri Sakazaki is definitely a natural at making friends. Just like how she called Mai Shiranui "Mai-neechan" when they first met in the original story, she immediately said after learning Shen Ye's name, "Then I'll call you Ye-nii from now on!"

……

(Both Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury take place in South Town, so let's assume the protagonists of the two stories know each other.)

Chapter 603! Yuri Sakazaki's Assist

……

You might as well just call me Onii-chan. Adding "Yoru" makes it sound a bit awkward... Shen Ye thought to himself. Just as he was about to correct her way of addressing him, he heard Sakazaki Yuri ask curiously, "I heard from my brother that Mai-neechan has a boyfriend. Is that you?"

Sakazaki Yuri's words surprised Shen Ye for a moment, then he smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think so," Yuri Sakazaki said seriously, arms crossed.

Shen Ye shrugged and said to Sakazaki Yuri, "Then your feeling is wrong. We have a teacher-student relationship. Didn't you hear me call her Teacher Xiaowu?"

"I see!" Sakazaki Yuri frowned. "But when Mai-neechan saw you coming, the look of surprise on her face didn't seem like she was seeing a student. Also, when you called Mai-neechan 'Teacher Mai,' I noticed her eyes looked a little unnatural. And, wow, what kind of student calls their teacher with a nickname? 'Teacher Mai,' it sounds so awkward. I reckon, Yoru-nii, if you just call Mai-neechan 'Mai,' she'll be very happy."

"Are you so sure?" Although Shen Ye thought Sakazaki Yuri's words made a lot of sense, he still asked in return, "You've only met for the first time, right? How can you tell what she's thinking?"

"So what if it's our first meeting? My insight is second to none. Even my brother says I'm a genius." Sakazaki Yuri proudly raised her chin at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye acknowledged this point. After all, in the official setting, Yuri Sakazaki was a genius among geniuses. In addition to being able to see the essence of other people's moves at a glance, she also had an amazing ability to imitate. She could learn any move after just a few glances. If she hadn't been too young and controlled by her father and brothers, and had been allowed to go out and explore on her own, she would probably have become a powerful fighter no less than Ryo Sakazaki.

However, such an innocent girl, if she went out to make her way in the world alone, she would probably be sold out and still be helping the swindler count the money.

Shen Ye shook his head slightly, realizing he had strayed from the topic. After regrouping, he smiled and asked, "Can you tell what I'm thinking right now?"

“Of course I can.” Sakazaki Yuri glanced at him and pouted, “When I called you Yoru-nii-chan just now, you looked unhappy. I guess you’re probably thinking I should drop the ‘Yoru’ and just call you Onii-chan.”

Yo ho!

Amazing!

Shen Ye's eyes widened in disbelief. This girl's martial arts training was a complete waste; becoming a psychological counselor was the right path for her.

Seeing Shen Ye's surprised expression, Yuri Sakazaki said smugly, "How about that? Aren't I amazing?"

"Indeed impressive." Shen Ye nodded vigorously.

"So now you should believe what I just told you, right?"

"I believe you." Shen Ye continued to nod.

Just then, Mai Shiranui walked over with a cup of tea. Hearing their conversation, she asked curiously, "Believe in what?"

Sakazaki Yuri didn't say anything, but winked at Shen Ye. Noticing the expression and movement on her face, Shiranui Mai immediately looked at Shen Ye.

"Xiaoye, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Xiao Wu, we were just chatting."

Shen Ye tried calling out Xiao Wu's name directly.

"So when she winked at you, it meant..."

Halfway through her sentence, Mai Shiranui suddenly noticed that Shen Ye had changed how he addressed her. She paused, blinked, and then said casually, "Let's have some tea first."

"See? I told you so!"

As Mai Shiranui poured tea for the two of them, Yuri Sakazaki silently spoke to Shen Ye across from him.

"Amazing!" Shen Ye understood her lip movements, opened his mouth and silently said it as well, while giving her a thumbs up.

To be honest, he had always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to change how he addressed Mai Shiranui, removing the suffix "teacher," but he never expected that he would finally be able to do so with the help of Yuri Sakazaki, whom he had just met.

According to his estimate, this would take at least some time, until Mai Shiranui's heart was completely opened.
