A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Both ixa unleashed their ultimate moves simultaneously, and Hongyin also struck with her fist, knocking the opponent away. Then Jiang Yang finished off the opponent with an energy blast.

The fanged vampire shattered in mid-air, while the orb of light flew away again.

Speaking of which, in the future, these orbs of light were deliberately consumed by Delan Castle. But what about now? It's impossible for the orbs of light to just fly right up to Delan Castle and deliver themselves to its doorstep.

I don't understand.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to be so capable. Now I believe you're a warrior."

Jiang Yang was ashamed. So you didn't believe me before?

My belief that you are not from this world and my disbelief that you are a warrior are not contradictory, right?

Regarding the mission, Jiang Yang only heard the general situation. It seemed that the Tooth Vampire was the restaurant owner's rival, which was the restaurant across the street that had already closed down.

He said he felt the restaurant owner had stolen his business and caused him to go bankrupt, so he wanted to make sure the owner's business failed as well.

Passerby: ? ? Damn it!

If you have a grudge against your boss, go make things difficult for him. What kind of skill is it to attack strangers? And why specifically target struggling office workers? What kind of monster is this?

Jiang Yang was speechless at the peculiar thought process of this Blood Demon.

At the same time, I felt sad.

In this world, the life and death of ordinary people are never in their own control.

In short, the mission is over.

"Next, I'm going to see the students."

Hongyin always takes music and violins very seriously.

"May I go and observe?"

"Haha, of course, of course, it's a sad thing that beautiful music goes unappreciated."

Looking at Aso Yuri with a resentful expression behind Akane, Jiang Yang's lips twitched. Saying someone doesn't appreciate music in front of their face, as expected of you.

A little later, Jiang Yang followed Akane to the practice room of Hisashi Kambara, Akane's student. Without much small talk, they began to play.

As soon as the other person started playing, Hongyin closed her eyes, seemingly listening attentively, or rather, enjoying the music.

Jiang Yang also closed his eyes, just like Hong Yinye. Just as he himself said, he didn't understand music, but music is something that can evoke empathy even if you don't understand it.

Listening to the music, Jiang Yang thought of the mistakes he had made over the years... oh, he's getting out of character.

Incidentally, Yuri didn't come in; instead, she stayed outside on guard. The reason, well, that's another story.

As the song ended, Jiang Yang slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt relieved.

"teacher?"

Hisashi Kanbara looked at Akane.

Akane simply clapped her hands lightly.

"Go for it, you will succeed."

A simple word of encouragement carries vastly different weight depending on who says it.

"Yes, I will do my best in tonight's performance."

Jiang Yang's eyes were filled with tears; what a harmonious teacher-student relationship.

He also wanted to offer some encouragement, like saying "Good luck with tonight's performance" or something. Wait, tonight? Jiang Yang immediately clapped.

"A great teacher produces great students. As expected of a student taught by Akane, tonight must be a grand party."

"Oh, not at all, we're performing at Guandongxi Prison tonight."

Jiang Yang thought to himself, "As expected."

Unbelievable! Yesterday, Akane also mentioned that there would be a performance in a few days, and this "a few days" actually refers to tomorrow. Her sense of time is godlike.

Even though it's not far, it will still take at least half an hour to walk there. In a few days, it might be as early as the afternoon, right?

In other words, Hongdu will likely cross over today, and at the latest tomorrow they will cross over.

Goodness, it's a good thing I came along after this mission ended, otherwise, what would I have done if you all had traveled through time?

The quest cannot be completed without defeating the legendary puppet beast.

We can't just stay in this world for twenty-two years and wait for the legendary puppet beast to be resurrected.

Or perhaps revive the legendary puppet beast ahead of schedule? Are you kidding me!

So all I can say is, thankfully they all came together.

Next, all you have to do is wait for Hong Du to appear, build up her favorability, and say something like, "Du, I'm your dad's colleague, you can just call me uncle."

It just feels so perverse.

The wait was long, and because he was constantly thinking about things, Jiang Yang looked a little absent-minded. To outsiders, he seemed to be mentally unstable and not in good physical condition.

"oi, you seem a little distracted. Are you alright?"

"No, nothing, I was just thinking about something."

Upon hearing this, Hongyin's expression suddenly softened slightly.

Are you thinking about your companions?

Jiang Yang: ? ? ?

He was stunned for several seconds before he realized what Akane was saying.

She had previously claimed that her world was on the verge of collapse and that she had traveled back in time to change the past. Akane thought she was thinking about her companions in that non-existent timeline.

Hongyin mistook Jiang Yang's dazed expression for his sadness at being powerless to save him.

"Ah."

Jiang Yang didn't explain, and these kinds of things are hard to explain anyway, so let's just leave it at that.

It was noon, but Hongdu still hadn't appeared.

At lunchtime, Hongyin declined Jiangyang's offer to join her, saying she wanted to spend a pleasant lunch with Yuri.

Jiang Yang was too embarrassed to have lunch with Hisashi Kambara, whom he had just met. So he had Hanzo accompany him and went to find a place to eat on his own.

Although he had eaten a very full breakfast and wasn't hungry yet, Jiang Yang felt something was off if he didn't eat something at mealtimes.

What to eat, that is the question. Jiang Yang is not considering ramen for the time being. He wants to eat rice noodle rolls or cold noodles, but unfortunately, he can't find anything similar.

After wandering around for a long time, he finally found something that looked pretty good: a Chinese breakfast shop. He had a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and a fried dough stick. It had been so long since he had eaten like this.

The porridge wasn't cooked well; to use the words of President Rose, it was below average.

"Excuse me, how do I get to the prison where I'm locked up?"

A voice that sounded like it could be easily bullied came from behind.

Jiang Yang wasn't just making things up. The voice sounded weak, like someone who lacked confidence and was somewhat socially awkward, always subconsciously putting themselves in a subordinate position when facing others.

You'll understand once you watch more anime.

Of course, if the other party is still very gentle, that is, kind, the advice here is to either try to please them or stay away and not provoke them, otherwise you will be finished when the reckoning begins.

He glanced back and saw a handsome, student-looking man... wait, why does he look so familiar?

"Xiaodu?"

I cried out instinctively.

The person whose name was called looked up at Jiang Yang in surprise.

"Are you... calling me?"

What's this called? "You can search high and low without finding it, but if it's meant to be, it will eventually come to you."

Wild Red Cross jumped out, triggering a battle. "It's you I choose," Jiang Yang said, spouting nonsense.

“I not only know you, I also know why you came here.”

As Jiang Yang spoke, he picked up the bowl of porridge and drank it in three gulps, then stuffed two more gulps into a fried dough stick, wiped his mouth, paid the bill, and got up.

Even Akira was shocked. Was this a speed that humans could achieve?

"Um, who are you?"

“I’m a friend of your father. My name is Jiang Yang, and like you, I’m from the future.”

The last sentence was spoken softly, and only Jiang Yang and Hong Du could hear it.

"you!"

"Shh, let's talk somewhere else."

Hongdu has been easily fooled since he was little and doesn't know how to refuse others. Like Keitaro, Jiang Yang feels guilty when he lies to others.

But you have no choice but to lie.

In the park, on a bench, Jiang Yang took out a bottle of drink he bought from Faiz World from his backpack.

Hongdu accepted the drink, said thank you, and without examining it closely, took a sip.

This is very wrong. First of all, you should not take or eat anything given to you by strangers, even if they say they know your parents or something. Don't believe them easily.

However, if Hongdu checks the production date at this time, it will find that people in 08 were drinking products from 86 in 03, and they don't know whether products produced in 03 are considered expired products for Hongdu in 08.

"Um, who exactly are you?"

Hongdu looked at Jiang Yang and asked the question timidly.
