My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

The beautiful Ryougi, fresh from her bath, wore a bathrobe. Her body emanated a wonderfully fragrant scent that captivated Li Wei, making him unable to resist touching her.

A glimpse of her fragrant shoulder and snow-white, lotus-like arms were revealed, along with her delicate, pink feet, which were incredibly alluring. Perhaps because she had been soaking in the hot spring for too long, her face had an unnatural blush, making one even more inclined to cherish her.

Under the illumination of the night lights, the already astonishing charm of the two forces increased by several percentage points.

"Come to think of it, this doesn't seem to be the direction my room faces."

The boy, being led forward by Ryougi's hand, looked around at the rooms and asked with some confusion, "Isn't this your room?"

"..."

When asked this question, Ryougi stopped at the door of her room and gave the boy a deep look.

Then he opened the door and said calmly, "Come on, come inside with me."

Chapter 40 A Pleasant Date with Ryougi

The next morning, Li Wei sat at the dining table, enjoying the breakfast at the Liangyi family's house.

Unlike Chinese food next door, Japanese cuisine, as a branch of the East Asian food sphere, does not have a specific breakfast category. Ordinary people either eat Western-style toast, bacon, and fried eggs for breakfast, and eat the same food as lunch and dinner.

Compared to others, Li Wei is slightly different; his breakfast consists of a large amount of pure meat. A high-protein diet helps replenish his energy and achieve the fastest possible recovery.

The television next to me was still playing a recent story about a couple who used a hatchet as a weapon because of infidelity. The host appealed for rationality in love and said that everyone has a responsibility to refuse to use hatchets.

"Lord Li Wei, you don't seem to be in good spirits."

The powerful personal maid, Asagami Fujino, who was part of the Ryougi family's dowry, noticed Li Wei's unusual behavior and asked with some concern, "Is there something wrong with the bed? Did you not get a good rest last night?"

"Last night...rest? The three of them didn't let me rest last night either!" Li Wei answered subconsciously.

Then he was elbowed hard by Ryougi, who was eating next to him.

Today, the two celestial beings are more radiant than usual, with beautiful faces, full of energy, and even their skin appears more moisturized and glowing.

The strawberry ice cream scent emanating from her body was much stronger than usual, covering Li Wei completely and impossible to wash off even in a shower.

“I see.” The maid’s face was full of “Great, I understand everything now”, and then she looked at Ryougi and said, “Miss, although Lord Li Wei is very capable, you should restrain yourself a little, at least let him rest his voice.”

“I did let him rest.” Ryougi looked at her questioningly. “But I can’t control the two of them.”

Isn't that all your fault? What do you mean you can't control those two? The three of you are like the Garan Cave, never-ending.

Asagami Fujino: "Besides, didn't we agree that Lord Li Wei would take care of him when he came back last night?"

Ryougi: "Sorry, I was so excited because we haven't seen each other for so long that I forgot."

I think I've heard something really important. Have you two already planned out my future?

Asagami Fujino: "I spent the whole night in Lord Li Wei's room and didn't see him at all."

Liangyi: "I will pay attention in the future, I promise next time."

I am the person involved, right in front of you two. You decided on the future ownership so naturally, without anyone asking for my opinion?

It was a noisy, chaotic breakfast time, but it ended peacefully.

What followed was the truly delightful time for Li Wei—his date with Ryougi.

Although their relationship had gone beyond that of lovers, although they had already done things they should and shouldn't have done, and although the Ryougi family already regarded the young man as their son-in-law, Li Wei still felt a surge of joy every time he spent with Ryougi.

That's Liangyi, my favorite girl.

"What are you laughing at? You look really weird." Ryougi, dressed in a red jacket and casual clothes, looking exceptionally dashing, stared at her childhood friend and asked.

It's worth mentioning that this red jacket is the same one that Li Wei redeemed for her at the Amagi Brilliant Park. Over the years, although she can no longer wear the original one, Ryougi insists on buying another one of the same style to keep as a memento every time she grows up, and she only wears it when she goes on dates with the boy.

It's so nostalgic. The long sword we gave Saeko back then was much better; it's still usable after all these years.

Hiratsuka-nee casually mentioned this while praying to her goddess, and as a result, she still doesn't have a boyfriend.

And then... and then what happened? It seems that besides the three of them, there was also a rather inconspicuous little child who came looking for them.

Li Wei vaguely remembered something, but upon closer examination, he couldn't quite grasp the thought, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Since even someone with such a good memory like myself can't remember it, it probably isn't anything particularly important.

"It's nothing, I just feel happy to be able to go on a date with you."

The boy remained as honest and reliable as ever, never hiding his innermost thoughts from his best friend.

"Tch..." Ryougi turned her head away from him.

“Back in kindergarten, I swore that if you never found a partner, I would take care of you for the rest of your life,” Li Wei continued. “As things stand, I think I’ve kept my promise.”

"……Fool."

At this moment, even the icy and aloof Yin and Yang couldn't help but blush like snowflakes melting into spring water.

The boy had said he liked her more than once before, but this was the first time he had directly said he would take care of her for the rest of her life and held her hand tightly.

If the relationship with Li Wei during kindergarten was simply one of friendship, and she began to develop a vague sense of female identity in elementary school that she didn't want to share with others, then things changed completely after puberty.

Because this guy was an idiot, he actually had to reveal his identity himself, so in a fit of anger, I pushed him against him. Looking back now, I was really brave.

However, one thing is certain: she is the girl this guy likes the most.

Although one is the daughter of a wealthy man in Kanbuko City and the other is the king of Tokyo's underworld—he might not admit it, but when it comes to dating, Li Wei is no different from other young people.

Sitting on the Ferris wheel, the boy and girl held hands, overlooking the scenery from the highest point of the city.

Only at this moment is Li Wei most relaxed and joyful. Now, he is neither a disciple of the Master nor someone who maintains the order of the underworld, but a sixteen-year-old boy who is dating his girlfriend and enjoying the happiness of youth.

The boy and girl on the Ferris wheel drew closer and closer, and finally embraced each other.

Ryougi smelled as wonderful as ever. Li Wei took a deep, intoxicating breath, then looked at her lips and slowly moved closer.

Then, the phone suddenly rang in a very rude way.

"Huh?" The enchanting atmosphere was completely ruined.

"Fool!"

Before Li Wei could react, Liangyi grabbed the boy's collar and kissed him on the lips before he could take out his phone.

This was a passionate kiss, brimming with immeasurable love, interwoven with familial affection, friendship, and romantic love. Combined with the fragrance emanating from Ryougi, it relentlessly stimulated the boy's mind, rendering him almost incapable of thought.

Test.

After a long while, the passionately kissing boy and girl finally separated.

"Go ahead and answer it," the girl, whose lips were visibly swollen, said calmly.

The blush on her face and her slightly rapid breathing proved that this contest between the two sides had once again ended in Li Wei's victory.

I took out my phone again, wondering who was being such a spoilsport... Oh, it was Yukino Yukinoshita.

What could be so urgent at this hour?

With a strange feeling, Li Wei pressed the answer button. Immediately afterwards, the urgent voice of the large, muscular Yukinoshita came through:

"Li Wei, where are you? Something happened to my mother!"

P.S.: Following strong suggestions from readers, the character of Yukinoshita's father has been removed. Please consider it as him suddenly suffering from KXK syndrome.

"Something happened to Lady Yukinoshita?"

The boy and Ryougi exchanged a glance, and judging from Yang Nai's tone, it was undoubtedly true.

Soon, the image of the voluptuous, sexy, dignified, and beautiful, yet cold and domineering mature woman in the oversized Yukinoshita appeared in his mind.

What could possibly happen to her?

"Don't rush, tell me slowly." Realizing the problem, Li Wei's tone became serious.

"This morning, Mom didn't get up on time. At first, Yukino and I were just a little confused, but then we couldn't help but open the bedroom door to check on her. We found that Mom was unconscious and nothing we did could help."

The large snow-covered woman's voice carried a hint of panic. Clearly, no matter how mature she seemed, she was still just a newly-adult female college student, and the fact that something like this had happened to her family member left her completely at a loss.

As for the smaller Yukinoshita, she was even more panicked than Yukinoshita. So she instinctively reached out for help from the person most likely to assist her.

"Have you been to the hospital for a checkup?" the boy asked immediately. "What did the doctor say?"

"Dr. Blackjack from St. Juliana just received a call and came to examine her. However, after the examination, he found nothing. She is perfectly healthy, and the cause of her unconsciousness cannot be found at all."

Perhaps it was Li Wei's attitude that gave Yang Nai courage, and the voice on the other end of the phone gradually calmed down: "The doctor said that if scientific methods cannot explain it, then we can only seek help from the mystical side. So, I immediately thought of you."

"Okay, I'm not in Tokyo right now, please wait for me a moment."

After comforting the large Yukinoshita with a few words, the boy hung up the phone and glanced at Ryougi again.

We finally managed to meet, and it was such a rare date, but after building up the atmosphere, we had to part ways right away. Katsuragi Keima from the next class was absolutely right; the real world really is a trash game.

"Go, my gentleman."

He straightened his collar, which had been disheveled from the kiss, just as the Ferris wheel completed its full rotation. As the cabin door opened, Ryougi looked at Li Wei earnestly: "Go do what you need to do. I'll support you."

"Okay." The boy nodded without hesitation.

Due to time constraints, Li Wei did not take the train back to Tokyo this time, but instead rode in the Ryougi family's black luxury car, heading straight to his destination.

The only difference from when he came was that the boy had added a sharp blade called Dojigiri Yasutsuna to his already meager luggage.

Seemingly having a good opinion of his new master, Li Wei, the young man's long sword occasionally emitted a chilling glint.

The car drove all the way to the gate of Yukinoshita's mansion in Tokyo, where the driver turned off the engine and stopped the car. When Li Wei got out of the car, the petite Yukinoshita had already been waiting at the door for a long time.

Judging from her still-shaken expression, today's events have had a significant impact on her.

Once the core of a family is removed, this seemingly rising family will quickly collapse.

Hiratsuka-nee once described Yukino as a crystal hedgehog—seemingly bright and sturdy, with sharp quills to protect herself, but actually quite fragile. Judging from today's events, that assessment was entirely accurate, even perfectly apt.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me." The boy said this earnestly, taking the small Yukinoshita's hand in his.

"Mmm." There was nothing she could do but nod.

Pulling Yukino along, Li Wei strode into the house, when suddenly something occurred to him: "Do you have Dr. Kuro's medical report? Let me see it."

"Here it is with me." Little Yukinoshita had clearly made all the preparations and calmly took out the relevant materials from her personal folder.

At the same time, there was an inexplicable trust on his face, as if seeing Li Wei made him feel that everything would be alright.

That won't do, Yukino. You trust me so much, what if I'm also at a loss?

Although harboring resentment is a very ungentlemanly act, Li Wei was under inexplicable pressure at this moment.

Thus, in the master bedroom of the Yukinoshita family, Mrs. Yukinoshita, whom Li Wei called the extra-large Yukinoshita, lay on the comfortable bed like Sleeping Beauty, as if waiting for her prince to arrive.

Unfortunately, this wasn't a bedtime fairy tale, and it wasn't a prince who came. It was just Li Wei, her daughter's high school classmate, who was simply passing by.

"Um, what exactly is wrong with my mother?" Seeing the boy finish taking her pulse and fall into deep thought, the small Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask.

Then his older sister quickly tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to interrupt Li Wei's train of thought.

“There are absolutely no problems, I’m perfectly healthy, I don’t even have basic gynecological diseases, let alone menopausal issues.” Li Wei presented her test report, which was exactly the same as the black-faced male doctor’s.

But to be more precise: "In some ways, she's even excessively healthy, not at all like someone who has given birth to two children. If I didn't know her identity, I would have thought she was only around thirty years old." For a woman with no supernatural abilities, this level of health maintenance is simply astonishing.

Since there's nothing wrong with the body, is it possible that something happened to the soul?

The boy pondered carefully, his gaze wandering aimlessly around the bedroom. Afraid of saying something that might disrupt his train of thought, the other two Yukinoshitas huddled together obediently, barely daring to breathe, lest his next word be hopeless.

Normal medical techniques won't work, so how about we switch to some magic?

Scáthach taught him about the Primal Runes (Sea), which can heal injuries and illnesses. But judging from the results of the examination just now, it has nothing to do with his body.

I also learned the skill "Healing Harp" from "The Wisdom of Solomon", but it has no effect on the soul.

Or should I tell them now that I need to take a nap, go to my dreams to learn from Scáthach and Skadi, and then come back? Would they think I'm an idiot?!

As he pondered the problem, Li Wei's gaze slowly moved around.

Then, they stopped at a statue enshrined in the bedroom shrine.

Judging from the lotus pedestal beneath her and the nun's robes, this is undoubtedly a Buddhist sculpture.

They typically wear nun-style clothing and a headscarf, but are not ordained as nuns, retaining their long hair. They possess a noble appearance, a virtuous and gentle demeanor, and a soft expression, their faces seemingly radiating compassion for all living beings. They are as solemn and holy as bodhisattvas, inspiring genuine respect and love in anyone who sees them.

But no matter how Li Wei looked at it, something just didn't seem right.
