Volume 1: Chapter 124 Return to Chiba (1/2)

As Luo Bai quietly recounted the story, Yang Nai gradually came to understand aspects of this world that she had never known before.

From the moment Yang Nai began to listen, her mouth never closed.

She was injured and transported to another world, where she was rescued by a drunken office lady. She is the daughter of a dragon clan leader and begins working as a maid to repay the debt of gratitude.

Because she was kicked out by her parents for playing a prank, she was brought here by Luo Bai and sent to the Dragon Maid's side. Now she is even preparing to go to elementary school.

A male dragon who frequently talks about killing everyone, but unexpectedly develops a liking for video games in the human world.

And Quetzalcoatl, who has been on Earth since the age of mythology, observing the balance of the world?

Yang was stunned by the information about these dragons.

"So, Shiro, is Yukino's physical condition already starting to improve?"

Luo Bai nodded: "That's right. After drinking the potion made by Miss Lucoa, Yukino's body will gradually improve over the next month, eventually reaching a normal level, or even better."

"That's it, that's great."

After her initial surprise, Yang Nai smiled happily.

The family was quite worried about their younger sister's frail health, but Yukino was always very strong-willed, so no one really mentioned it to her.

After thinking for a moment, Yang asked curiously, "Among these dragons, is Ms. Lucoa the most powerful?"

“That’s right,” Luo Bai said with certainty. “After all, it came to Earth during the ancient mythological period and was worshipped as a god by the native humans. Just in terms of age, it far surpasses other dragons. Moreover, according to Thor, Lucoa’s true form is like a winding mountain range, with no end in sight. Thor’s own true form is not even as big as one of Lucoa’s eyes.”

"Is it that big?"

Luo Bai shrugged and said with a smile, "It should be pretty much the same. Thor has no reason to lie about something like this. Lucoa is world-class in terms of physique, strength, and everything else."

"That's amazing! I'd love to meet you!"

Don't worry, there will be a chance.

Now that Yang Nai knows, there will definitely be opportunities to meet Thor and his dragon friends in the future.

Even Fafnir, who used to be incredibly fierce, is now just a gamer and relatively easy to talk to, not to mention the others.

Forty minutes later, the two finally returned to Chiba and then hailed a taxi to their apartment.

After dropping Yang Nai off at her apartment, Luo Bai looked at her and said, "There's still some food at home. Yang Nai, you can cook for yourself, or order takeout if you don't want to. I have to get back to school now."

Yukino messaged me while I was in the taxi, saying that her leave request was fake and that she wasn't at school at all. I need to go back and tell her right away.

Yang Nai nodded: "Okay, you should go back now. I'll just grab something quick for lunch."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, hugged Luo Bai, and kissed him.

A minute later, Yang Nai gently bit Luo Bai's lips and said with a smile, "I'm satisfied now, go on, go on."

Luo Bai shook his head helplessly.

"Then I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything."

He then turned and walked out of the apartment.

After closing the apartment door, Yang Nai let out a breath, her once fair face instantly turning bright red. She then rushed into the living room and pounced on the sofa, startling the two cats in the house.

"Aaaaaaah! I actually made it!!!"

After screaming and writhing on the sofa, Yang Nai grabbed a cushion, turned to the side, and grinned foolishly.

"Hehehe, I finally succeeded! But Yukino can't find out, that girl will definitely be angry."

Although it was a bit unfair to her sister, Yang Nai herself did not expect to encounter such a thing today, and then she could no longer restrain herself and directly pounced on Luo Bai.

Fortunately, Yang Nai understood Luo Bai and made the right bet. In the end, Luo Bai didn't push her away, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

Then, Yang Nai started twisting and turning on the sofa again, making unintelligible laughs, completely unlike her usual mature self.

Meanwhile, Luo Bai quickly returned to school, changed his shoes without anyone noticing, and went straight to the Service Department.

Since there was still some time before lunch break, Luo Bai didn't go to the classroom and planned to go back to get his lunchbox after class.

Half an hour later, the bell rang, and Luo Bai arrived at the classroom on time as soon as the teacher left.

Seeing Luo Bai return, Hachiman asked curiously, "Where did you go before, you rascal?"

Taking out his own lunchbox, Luo Bai shrugged and said, "Don't ask, it's a personal matter."

"???"

After blinking, Hachiman Hikigaya seemed to understand something and didn't ask any further questions.

It's so easy to be friends with this guy; he understands things just by explaining them briefly.

Because I had to talk to Yukino at noon today, Luo Bai didn't let Yuihama and Hikigaya go to the Service Club, nor did he let Sakurajima Mai go.

When he arrived at the Service Club alone with his lunchbox, Yukino was already there and waiting for him.

"So, can you tell me where you're going?"

After closing the classroom door and sitting down next to Yukino, Luo Bai opened the lunchbox and said, "I had a precognitive dream. I dreamt that Haruno-nee was in danger, so I rushed to Tokyo immediately."

"Sister?" Upon hearing this, Yukino immediately became anxious. "How is she?"

Although they don't get along very well, she's still my older sister, so it's impossible not to worry.

Luo Bai chuckled and patted Yukino's head: "Don't worry, I came right back, so everything's fine."

Then, Luo Bai recounted everything that Yang Nai had encountered.

"Urban legend, the Slit-Mouthed Woman..."

Yukino felt a chill run down her spine as she recalled the scene from when she heard this story as a child.

Even now, she is still quite afraid of horror stories and ghost stories.

Yukino was finally relieved after hearing that Haruno had only been scratched on her arm and that the wound wasn't serious.

"That's good."

Letting out a breath, Yukino asked, "So, my sister is back in Chiba now too?"

After taking a bite of rice, Luo Bai nodded and said, "That's right. The car was sent for repairs, and with all that just happened, Yang Nai didn't want to stay in Tokyo alone, so she came back with me. She's at the apartment now."

Then, he saw Yukino take out her phone and dial Haruno's number.

Volume 1: Chapter 125 Going Home (2/2)

At that moment, Haruno, who was eating takeout sushi at home, saw Yukino's call and answered it with some surprise.

"Yukino, did you call to check on me? I'm so happy~~"

Hearing her sister's energetic voice on the phone, Yukino finally felt completely relieved; her sister hadn't been discouraged by the danger she had encountered.

"You sound so energetic, it seems you're alright."

"Yes, it's alright now, because Xiaobai arrived just in time!"

After eating a piece of sushi, Haruno said, "But Yukino is really mean-spirited; she didn't even tell me about these things."

Yukino's expression had returned to calm, and she said to Haruno on the other end of the phone, "I didn't say it for your own good, sister. There are some things that are better left unsaid."

"Hehehe, but I know now~~"

Yang Nai's tone carried a hint of smugness, which left Yukino feeling rather helpless.

"Now that you're alright, sister, you should get some rest. Luo Bai and I will be back early this afternoon."

"Okay, you guys enjoy your meal. I'm having lunch too. Let's talk again when I get back this afternoon~~"

After hanging up the phone, Yukino looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Did my sister cry earlier?"

Luo Bai shook his head and said, "No, but I'm definitely scared. After all, anyone would be subconsciously scared if they saw a woman with a split mouth holding scissors stabbing at them."

Yukino imagined it for a moment, then immediately felt a chill run down her spine and shook her head repeatedly, no longer daring to imagine it.

Taking a bite of her chicken wing, Yukino asked, "So this incident proves that these urban legends will continue to appear?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly right. As long as these stories continue to circulate, they will definitely reappear every so often.” Luo Bai suddenly remembered and said with a smile, “But don’t worry about Sadako. Very few people use videotapes anymore, so she can’t get out even if she wanted to. Even if she did get out, I can protect you.”

Yukino was initially a little scared when she heard about Sadako, but after Luo Bai said that, she realized that it seemed to be true.

Nobody uses videotapes anymore; now it's mostly DVDs and Blu-rays, or purely digital viewing.

Thinking of this, Yukino couldn't help but smile, and seemed less afraid.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, I realize that I don't usually wander around; I'm mostly with Luo Bai. Even if I encounter some urban legends or something, Luo Bai will protect me.

It really gives me a great sense of security.

Yukino nodded, no longer dwelling on those frightening things, and focused on eating.

After school in the afternoon, using the excuse that Haruno had come over, Luo Bai, Yukino, and Mai Sakurajima left the school first, leaving Yuihama and Hikigaya to do their homework in the club and see if any requests would come their way.

On the way back, Luo Bai told Sakurajima Mai about what Hino had encountered that morning.

"Ah! Is that so?"

Sakurajima Mai was very surprised, "I didn't expect that such urban legends existed, the Slit-Mouthed Woman... that's really a scary thing!"

Luo Bai nodded: "That's right. For ordinary people, the Slit-Mouthed Woman is indeed quite difficult to deal with. She's strong, fast, and relentless. But for people with special abilities, it's not so difficult. Besides, this Slit-Mouthed Woman has already been searched for by people in Tokyo. Even if I don't take action, with Nangong Nayue there, Yang Nai-jie won't be in danger. By the way, speaking of Nangong Nayue, didn't you make a date with her, Senpai? I forgot to ask when it was."

"It's tomorrow," Sakurajima Mai said with a smile. "I have work in Tokyo tomorrow, so I arranged to have dinner with her tonight to thank her. But junior, does that Miss Nangong really not look like an adult?"

“That’s true, she doesn’t even look as tall as Komachi,” Luo Bai said. “But senior, don’t really treat her like a child.”

"Don't worry, I understand."

As they chatted, the three returned to the apartment building.

Upon opening the apartment door, Luo Bai and Xue Nai heard the sound of a television coming from the living room.

Yang Nai was watching TV when she heard the door open, so she immediately got up and ran to the entrance.

"You're back!"

At the entrance, Yukino glanced at her older sister who was running over, nodded, and said, "Yes, you're back. How did you rest this afternoon, sister?"

"Great! You're completely back to your senses!" Yang Nai smiled and gave a thumbs up, then glanced at Luo Bai.

Luo Bai exchanged a glance with Yang Nai, and a sense of panic welled up inside him.

There is no way.

Fortunately, Yang Nai wasn't the type to act recklessly. After glancing at them, she accompanied the two, who had changed into slippers, into the house.

Yukino went to the bedroom to change her clothes. After seeing the bedroom door close, Haruno immediately revealed her true colors and leaned over to kiss Luo Bai.

"How does it taste? It's a watery lip balm~~ I forgot to put it on this morning."

Luo Bai licked her lips and said helplessly in a low voice, "Sister Yang Nai, please don't scare me."

Yang Nai smiled, stuck out her tongue, and poked Luo Bai's cheek, saying, "Okay, okay, I know, sister."

Soon, Yukino came out in a set of loungewear and asked Hinano, "Sister, are we having dinner here or going home?"

"No, no, I'm not going home~" Sitting on the sofa, Yang Nai swung her long legs and said, "I'll definitely get nagged if I go back, and I'm injured right now. Won't my parents find out if I go back?"

As she spoke, Yukino pointed to her sleeve, revealing the bandage wrapped around her arm to Yukino.

Upon seeing the wound, Yukino couldn't help but come over.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Yang Nai said with a smile, patting her younger sister's head. "They immediately found professional medical staff to come over, and the ointment they applied made me feel no pain very quickly. They even gave me a scar-reducing ointment, so it won't leave a scar!"

Yukino nodded: "That's good."

At this moment, Mai Sakurajima also changed her clothes and came over, so Yukino pulled Luo Bai to cook, leaving Mai Sakurajima and Haruno to rest in the living room.

After talking with Sakurajima Mai, she realized that she had known about these special creatures and superpowered individuals for a long time, and had even experienced them herself.

After learning about Mai Sakurajima's experience with puberty syndrome, Haruno was extremely surprised.

"Such things actually happen? It feels much more bizarre than mine! And that's not all, you've even encountered monsters from other worlds. Your experiences are truly remarkable!"
