Zongman: Dream with me

Fast forward half an hour.

Because of Mu You's reminder to Yukinoshita Yukino, she confirmed the information again by looking for Kawasaki Daishi, and soon found the Angel's Staircase Bar. At the same time, she discovered Kawasaki Saki and Shiina Mashiro and others who came to collect materials.

"Why is Mashiro-chan here?" Yuigahama looked at the formal clothes that Mashiro and Kyon had changed into to sneak into the bar, and shouted in surprise, but someone was in a bad mood.

"Excuse me, where is Kasugano-kun?" Yukinoshita looked at Qiong and asked rudely.

It's like this again, he really knows everything!

Yukinoshita didn't blame him for telling her, but if he came here just to laugh at her, she would make him taste her wrath.

It’s bad enough that he’s just a riddle teller, but he even dares to get close to others and taunt them while they’re solving the riddle!

"I don't know!" Kasugano Sora answered coldly.

Huh? So you came to the bar without permission?

Yukinoshita suddenly became even more angry. This guy was too irresponsible. Hikigaya, who was traveling with him, was shocked. He seemed to have seen the rising eternal fire behind Yukinoshita, and anyone who touched it would die.

"You guys didn't drink?"

"No," Kawasaki, who was wiping the wine glasses on the counter, added, "What's going on today? Are you two here at the bar for team building?"

"They really seem to be here just to gather material. By the way, if you're here to look for them, just take them away. After all, they look like they're easy to bully."

"Oh, okay, that's not right. We are here to see you, Kawasaki-san." Yuigahama Yui explained to Kawasaki Saki why they came here and her brother's concern about her coming home late.

"Really, I understand your intentions, but please go back."

"why?"

"Because I need money, that's all. I don't know what Dazhi said to you, but it's nothing to worry about. Leave me alone."

Seeing that Kawasaki Saki was not eating or drinking, Yuigahama and Hikigaya were suddenly in trouble. At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her watch and said, "Cinderella's magic expires at midnight, and your magic will expire here."

"After the magic wears off, won't there be a happy ending?"

"That may not be the case, Little Mermaid Princess. I think a tragic ending may be waiting for you."

"What do you mean?" Yuigahama asked Hikigaya curiously.

"It's Yukinoshita who suspects Kawasaki Saki lied about her identity to get this job, otherwise she wouldn't come home so late."

Working and studying is a very common thing in Japan. Japanese children can work from high school. However, according to legal requirements, high school students are not allowed to work between 10 pm and 5 am.

"Oh, I see."

Faced with Yukinoshita's verbal offensive, a new customer came to the counter.

"First, a glass of sake. Also, mermaids can't turn into humans, and ordinary people can't see mermaids."

"Okay, miss...?"

Saki Kawasaki looked at the man in front of her who was wearing a high school uniform. He had a flamboyant expression, but his eyes were fixed on the wine cabinet behind him. Well, he was almost drooling.

"Sorry, I can't sell it to you."

"What!?" Madara, who had transformed into Natsume Reiko, slammed the table in surprise.

"Well, it may be a little presumptuous, but minors are not allowed to drink."

"What do you mean underage? I am..."

"Banara, why are you here?"

Just as Ban was about to say something, he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and took a deep breath. Why was this little ancestor here? But he couldn't be intimidated by the momentum.

"Ah, it's you. Long time no see, little girl from the Kasugano family."

After taking his eyes off the counter, Madara also recognized Yukinoshita. Isn't this the little girl he met in the afternoon? What a coincidence?

"My dear classmate, although I don't know how you got in, the bar really cannot sell you alcohol, and I hope you can leave now and don't bother the security here anymore." Saki Kawasaki ordered him to leave. There was no other way. After all, Madara's current dress was too ostentatious. He was wearing the uniform of a certain high school.

"Damn it, it's all that Kasugano Yuu's fault. He said there'd be plenty of wine, but now there's not a drop!"

"Wait," Yukinoshita Yukino turned around, "Did you just say that Kasugano Yuu bought you a drink?"

"Yes, that girl's brother."

"asshole!"

"You also think he's a jerk, right? And he's also a mean-spirited and cautious guy..."

Kasugano Sora looked at the little kitten speechlessly as it spoke ill of its brother. After thinking about it, she decided to take action next time.

"Let's talk about that guy later," Yukinoshita closed her eyes and suppressed her anger towards Mu You.

Not only did you stand idly by in the face of the commission, you also failed to take good care of Mashiro and Qiong, and now you are even inducing underage girls to drink. Kasugano-kun, you'd better give me an explanation... Let's deal with the current situation first.

"Aren't you going to give up yet?" Yukinoshita gave Saki Kawasaki an ultimatum.

Yuigahama, who was standing next to her, seemed to sense Yukinoshita's suppressed anger and quickly said, "Yes, I do work part-time when I don't have money, but I wouldn't lie about my age to do so."

"It's no big deal, I just need money. I don't come to work because I need money to live a life of luxury. You've said so many big truths, but can you give me money?" Saki Kawasaki was exhausted both physically and mentally by the strange guests tonight.

She looked at Yukinoshita, something occurred to her, and she asked, "I say, your father is a member of the county council, right? How can a carefree person like you understand my situation?"

Boom-!

Yukinoshita's cup was knocked against her. Seeing this, Yuigahama quickly stood up and angrily retorted, "Hey! What does Koyuki's family situation have to do with this matter?"

The scene suddenly became quiet, and the voices around suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of the piano playing in the distance.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Yukinoshita that made his whole body tense.

"Ah la la~ Who made our Xiaoxue angry again?"

Yuigahama turned around and saw two people walking towards her. The man had a pretty face and was as gentle as jade. At first glance, he looked like a very gentle person. He seemed to be about the same age as them. The other one looked like a grown-up Yukino, with short hair, and was also very beautiful.

Yukinoshita Haruno playfully held Yukino's shoulders from behind, as if she had just discovered something very interesting. She smiled and said, "Why, even you don't recognize me anymore? I might really be so sad that I cry."

"Why are you here, sister?" Yukinoshita struggled to break free from Haruno's arms somewhat embarrassedly.

"Don't be the first to complain. By the way, don't you want to introduce me to your sister?"

"Ah, hello, you must be Yukinoshita's sister, right? I'm Yuigahama Yui, Koyuki's friend."

Yuigahama hurriedly introduced herself, but due to her nervousness, she pulled Hikigaya to her side. Hikigaya had nowhere to hide, so she could only introduce herself as "Hikigaya Hachiman."

Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, then walked past them with a smile. In the stunned eyes of the two, she hugged Qiong, whose face had a look of "No Strangers Allowed" written on it, and rubbed her head in her arms.

"Ah, long time no see, Qiong-chan, I didn't expect to meet you here, we are really destined to meet!"

"Ugh—let go, you woman!"

Struggling to break free from someone's arms, Qiong's face flushed. Why was this guy so big and so shameless? If there weren't ordinary people present, she would definitely teach this guy a lesson.

"Mashiro, let's go... Mashiro?"

Based on the principle of avoiding someone you can't afford to offend, Kasugano Sora didn't want to stay here any longer. She wanted to ask Mashiro to go with her, but she found that the other party was always looking at Haruno.

At this time, Yang No also noticed the little girl holding a sketchbook, who was as delicate as porcelain. According to the information she had collected, this should be Shiina Mashiro who was staying at Kasugano's house.

"Hello, Ms. Shiina Mashiro, I am Yukino's older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno."

"How strange..."

"What's weird about my sister?" Looking at this cute girl who was no less adorable than her own sister, Yukinoshita Haruno really wanted to rub her, but unfortunately, Kasugano Yui was staring at her with an unfriendly look, so she didn't want to go too far.

"The color on you... is very similar to Yuu's, but different at the same time. It's very strange..."

"Of course, I'm Yu-kun's best friend!"

Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow, but didn't care. Instead, she responded with a smile. On the other side, Madara saw Natsume coming over and complained to him in dissatisfaction:

"Natsume, look at her. She won't even sell me any wine!"

"No one will sell you alcohol if you dress like this, okay, teacher, it's time to go back. Don't keep Youjun and the others waiting too long."

"I want to drink. I'm not going back. That guy said he'd let me drink enough today. I'm not going to go home with him until we're drunk tonight!"

Natsume wanted to say something else, but a petite girl in a dress next to him said, "Excuse me, is the Yu-kun you were talking about Kasugano Yuu? He's here too?"

"Yes, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, I'm his classmate. I want to meet him. Is that okay?"

"this......."

"Ah, Yuki, are you that impatient? But if it's just a meeting, that's fine too...if Natsume-sama and Madara-sama don't mind."

Yukinoshita Haruno held Kasugano Yuu in one hand and Shiina Mashiro in the other, looking like a winner in life as she rescued Natsume from the predicament.

"Just call me Natsume. Since you're Yu-kun's classmate, why would I mind?" Then Natsume looked at Qiong who looked unhappy, "Hello, Miss Kasugano."

"Well, you can just call me Qiong." Qiong's expression softened and she casually slapped away Yang No's claws. "You're here too?"

"Yeah, and Mr. Natori."

"Let's not disturb him?" Kasugano Sora hesitated.

"We were just discussing some things, and we've almost finished them."

"Then let's go..."

Faced with Qiong's somewhat cold tone, Natsume, who was already familiar with her personality, didn't mind. Yang No even helped Ban to get a glass of wine, who refused to leave the bar.

So Mu You saw that there were originally only two people going out, but they came back in a dark crowd.

"Um, good evening?"
