One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"Completely correct."

Toudou Touka nodded, confirming Ikki's idea. On the other hand, Ikki...

He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed about this. "Well, actually, it was Bai Ye who suggested it."

"Don't be embarrassed, Ikki."

At this time, Bai Ye passed by him and immersed the vegetables in the basket in water to rinse. "Even without my reminder, you can still see it, right?"

"Okay, leave it to me from now on." (Bai Ye)

"You guys go and rest first..." (Dao Hua)

For a moment, it seemed that they had the same idea, Bai Ye and Dongtang Daohua said one after another.

In the end, the two of them worked together, while Ikki and Mikado walked away on their own accord, after all, they were not particularly good at it.

emmm...

Ikki stood in the shade, looking at Toudou Touka from afar, his dark eyes seemed to be churning with many thoughts.

Although he was just cooking normally, wearing glasses and even a little reckless, it was precisely this kind of Dongtang Daohua...

——It gives people an extremely dazzling feeling!

"What's wrong, Kurogane-kun?"

"..., I don't know why, it's hard for me to take my eyes off her." Ikki said this while looking at Toudou Touka.

Mikabuki walked forward and looked at Daohua side by side with Ikki, "Because Daohua is such a person."

"Whether it's Raikiri or Senrigan, they are just a part of who Daohua is..."

Closing his eyes, thinking back to the past, Yu Bubble couldn't help but sigh, "The orphanage before, how should I put it, the atmosphere was a bit awful."

"One of the children was nearly killed by his parents. He was very violent and seemed beyond help."

"But Daohua didn't give up on him. No matter how many times she was hurt, she was still willing to care for the child. Thanks to her, the child finally regained his human emotions."

Then, Yu Bubble showed a bright smile, "Daohua said this:"

Before coming to the orphanage, I received so much smiles and love from my parents. Even though they are gone, these memories continue to support me.

So I also want to bring everyone memories that can make everyone laugh and support everyone."

In Yu Zhu Pao Foam's memory, Dao Hua at that time... her long golden hair fluttered in the wind, and her gentle face radiated maternal care, she was incomparably beautiful!

After a brief pause, Yu Bubble continued, "The fact is just as she said. Daohua brought courage to all the children in the orphanage."

"She showed everyone through her actions that even if you grew up in an unhappy environment, you can still become an outstanding person. She has been active on the stage under the name 'Raikiri'."

At noon, everyone sat down to eat. Ikki chewed his food, but his eyes glanced towards Daohua...

——Devoting oneself not for oneself but for others is the source of Todou-kun's strength. So, what is the source of my strength...?

On the way back, Yihui kept thinking about these things. When everyone got off the bus, they were greeted with bad news.

"They're back."

Shizuku, Arisuin, and the others were waiting at the station. Seeing Ikki get off the train, they hurried over. In Kagami Kusakabe's hand, you could see a newspaper.

"Stella, Senior Black Iron!"

"What's wrong with everyone?"

"You two, look at this." He unfolded the newspaper and showed the news to the two of them.

[Red Lotus Princess, Dangerous Game]

The title sounds quite catchy, but when you look at the content, emmm...most of it is fabricated, and there are even some dirty tricks. In short, the criticism is directed towards Ikki!

However, there was a picture attached. After all, they are lovers, and there will always be intimate moments, but it was captured by paparazzi.

26. Layer upon layer of calculations

"So, Ikki..."

He stared at the picture for a long time. Bai Ye rubbed his chin, then looked at Yi Hui with a strange look, "How did the paparazzi catch you?"

"One is A-rank, the other is known as the 'Uncrowned Sword King'. Who has the magical power to track you two?"

emmm...

Ikki was speechless. This was indeed his problem. Perhaps it was because he was in the academy, so he had let his guard down a bit.

"Let's think about what to do first. The media is in an uproar now. After all, Stella is a celebrity at the state guest level~" Arisuin reminded.

"Um……"

Stella held the newspaper, and flames gradually appeared around her. The paper that her bare hands touched carbonized and burned little by little. "This, this is nonsense!"

"That's what paparazzi are like." (Bai Ye)

"Ikki, have you offended anyone?" It was Arisuin, the undercover agent, who was giving advice.

Just then, a black car stopped by the roadside, and an ugly guy with horizontal growth walked out of it.

"Who is he?"

Arisuin leaned down slightly and whispered in Shushizuku's ear.

"Akaza-no-machi, my father's henchman."

"Kurogatsu Ikki-kun."

Akaza finally spoke, his fat face covered in fat, and his smile was disgusting. "Regarding this incident, we have decided to hold an inquiry meeting."

"Can you come with me, Kurogane Ikki-kun... This is a formal meeting of the Ethics Committee, of course you will come, right?" Akaza continued to ask with emphasis.

"Don't be ridiculous! Do you think we will agree to your unreasonable request?"

Stella stood in front of Ikki, her temper was very explosive, but Ikki still stopped her with his hand, "Ikki?"

"It's okay, I'll be back soon."

Ikki smiled at Stella and took a few steps forward. Akaza, seeing his plan succeed, smiled faintly.

"This guy really deserves a beating."

“…Who is it!”

Akaza suppressed his smile and quickly locked onto Bai Ye. Emmm… Of course he had gathered information: Pharmacist Bai Ye, the younger brother of Pharmacist Wu Zi!

"For your sister's sake, I won't bother with you. Then Kurogane Ikki-kun..."

Once again, a cunning look swept over Ikki. This time, there was no surprise, and Ikki was "invited" into the car.

"Arisuin (Alice), I'll leave Shizuku and Stella to you."

Ikki knew Byakuya was very strong, but subjectively… he always felt that he was a little unreliable. Arisuin nodded gently, "I understand. Don't worry."

After giving the simple instructions, Ikki followed Akaza into the car, and the car door slowly closed... and that was when!

"Hey, who is that!"

Bai Ye suddenly came forward and knocked on the car window. "If I say you deserve a beating, then you do. And one day, you will be beaten. I won't be wrong."

(╬￣Dish￣)

Veins bulged faintly on Chi Zuo's forehead, but considering his status, he endured it: the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and there was no need to stir up trouble anymore.

Tsk, is your Qi cultivation so good? In that case... Bai Ye wouldn't mind a more extreme provocation, "Ugly bastard——!"

【I can bear it! 】

Emmm…I can’t stand it anymore!

(╬◣д◢)

After a while, Akaza sat up straighter and patted the driver's seat, "What are you doing? Drive faster!"

With the roar of its engine, the black car gradually drove away...heading towards a closed building.

……

After Ikki was taken away, Stella, Shizuku, and the others gathered together, and on the table was the newspaper:

"The man who took away the princess's purity."

"King Famillion is furious!"

"Will this escalate into a diplomatic issue between the two countries?"

Things like this are printed on the page, no matter how serious it is, it will be as bad as it can be.

"That's nonsense!"

Stella pressed her hands on both ends of the newspaper, her bright red hair slightly raised, dotted with sporadic sparks.

"You've burned enough, just leave this one." Bai Ye snatched the newspaper from the table and started browsing it himself.

——Ikki Kurogane has had bad behavior since he was a child. He is a problem child of the Kurogane family and even has personality defects!

"Good guy, are you playing this big?"

Bai Ye sighed and continued to look around... Kurogane Ikki had promiscuous relationships with both men and women. In addition to Stella, he had had impure relationships with many women.

"Is it so excessive?"

Further down, Stella is even portrayed as someone who knows nothing and is a complete idiot woman who is easily deceived!

"Tsk tsk, to go so far as to throw dirty water, doesn't that ugly bastard know his limits?"

Bai Ye closed the newspaper and decided not to read any further. "With the slander reaching this point, someone must be pushed out to take the blame. Otherwise, I'm afraid... no, it will definitely be difficult to resolve."

"What do you mean?" (Stella)

"Something must have gone wrong. Throwing dirty water on someone is fine, but throwing dirty water on a princess..."

Even Bronya had a strange look on her face at this moment, "This is no small matter."

"This is completely false. Not to mention it never happened, even if it's true, it can't be reported! Who will be responsible for the reputation of a princess?"

Bai Ye sneered, "He's really courting his own death. Even if he succeeds in exposing the truth, will the king thank him?"

"That's impossible." Bronya echoed Bai Ye in a calm but milky voice.

"That's right. Not only will he not be grateful, he'll even find him annoying. After all... that's his precious daughter!"

"This is assuming his plan succeeds, and Yuki is at the forefront for him. If it fails..."

After analyzing this, Bai Ye clenched his right fist and hammered it into the palm of his left hand, "Warrior! If Ikki is acquitted, he will be the only one who will bear the wrath of King Famiglia."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the ultimate one-for-one exchange. Even one mistake will make it fail. How big a grudge must this be that they even put themselves on the line?" Bai Ye couldn't help but marvel at it.

emmm...

"Is this guy so desperate?" At this point, even Stella understood and looked strange.

"Maybe it's jealousy? Akaza is from a branch family, and he holds a twisted grudge against his legitimate brother, always viewing him as a thorn in his side."

"So, jealousy can completely change a person's appearance."

Bai Ye clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention, and then announced, "Alright everyone, relax for now, leave this matter to me."

"I was planning to give that ugly bastard a beating sometime. After all, I always keep my word."

As he spoke, Bai Ye even flexed his wrist. But because Akaza himself was courting death, "Now it seems that this is unnecessary. That ugly bastard will die sooner or later."

"Bai Ye, do you really have a way to help my brother?" Zhu Shizu's emerald eyes stared at Bai Ye, with hope in her eyes.

"Isn't that natural?"

Bai Ye gave Zhu Shizuku a thumbs up and looked at me, "Just leave it to me. At the very least, I can make sure he's fine."

27.The cruel truth

Meanwhile, after a rigorous and even critical interrogation, Yihui was successfully locked up in a small dark room. It was completely blank, with real-time surveillance.

Ikki sat leaning against the wall, his hands on his knees, his head lowered and his eyes closed.
