Chapter Twelve: The Tour Guide

  Uh... how should I put it...

  It's now morning of the second day, and last night's fierce battle ended prematurely with Yvaine's arrival.

  After finding out there was nothing major going on, everyone gathered together and went to bed after washing up.

  Then came the second day, and so did my problem.

  The current location is a coffee shop, and Yijianlin is sitting on my left. On the left of her is Chachamaru.

  Nothing unusual about it, really. The master and his servant strolling together, getting tired, taking a break at the coffee shop.

  A very ordinary thing, really very ordinary indeed.

  But unusually, sitting next to me on my right was Xiaolongbao, and next to him on his right was Muzi.

  Hmmm... If I were to look at it from an outsider's perspective, a guy like me being surrounded by beautiful girls would undoubtedly be something that people would envy and feel jealous about.

  This can be easily judged from the eyes of many gentlemen around.

  Of course, if these four people were not Yui, Kagami, Tsukasa and Konata, I would also be very happy.

  Why? Why did it end up like this?

  Things should start from this morning.

  Last night's battle left me exhausted, and as soon as I returned to the guild, I fell asleep on the bed without saying a word.

  Then I slept until the sky was dark and didn't wake up until this morning when the sun rose high.

  Lay in bed lazily until noon, then got up drowsily and walked out of the room.

  "Good morning, teacher." The moment I opened the door, I saw him kneeling in front of me, very respectfully greeting me.

  Huh? I stared at him in confusion, "What are you doing? Proposing?"

  "Please, please, please..." Suddenly his face turned red and he loudly retorted: "Don't make fun of me, teacher! This joke is not funny at all!!!"

  "What's this? It wasn't a proposal after all." I let out a somewhat disappointed sigh and asked, "So, what exactly are you doing?"

  "I've come to thank you for saving Mokonashi-san last night." He bowed deeply, his forehead lightly touching the ground. "I'm truly grateful to you; if it weren't for your intervention, Mokonashi-san would have..."

  "Even if I don't intervene, Konoka won't be in any trouble."

  I waved my hand to interrupt his words and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

  "Huh? Me?"

  "I'd like to ask, haven't you made up yet with your beloved Mokoto-san?"

  Just as her face darkened and she was about to say something depressing, I gently tapped on her forehead.

  Perhaps it was my fault, last night my strong intervention did not allow Satsuriku to reveal his true identity as a Uchiha.

  In this way, Satsuki will naturally not get along with Mokou, and the happy twin-swallow couple.

  I sighed and looked at him clutching his forehead in pain, unable to help but sigh: "You..."

  "Teacher?" In an instant, her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at me with a pitiful expression, full of confusion.

  I admit it, I was totally charmed by his expression just now.

  "In an instant, knowing that there are many masters of Shinsei-ryū, why did you specifically come to protect Mokuren?"

  "I don't know." A very model student's response.

  "Although there are many skilled players in Kamitsure, only you and Kinokonoko can understand each other, encourage each other, help each other, laugh together, grow together, and play together. In Kamitsure, the only one who can do this is you."

  At the moment when he fell silent, I added another effort.

  "Protecting someone, not only to protect her from external harm, but also to protect her heart and soul from being invaded by the outside world. Between people, understanding is needed, you can do a great job in this regard."

  "So, always hiding behind others is not allowed."

  Suddenly intense shaking, God's color is struggling, a moment of guilt, a moment of excitement, a moment of fear...

  Was it too hasty? Indeed, just a few words are not enough to move people's hearts.

  After all, I am not Hitler.

  Gently placing my palm on Cen's head, I slowly stroked it.

  "It's okay, understanding these things takes time and communication. From now on, slowly get closer to Mokona, one day you will understand each other and be like before."

  And it will also bloom into a beautiful lily flower. I quietly added a sentence in my heart.

  "Teacher, can I really get along with Mokonosou-san?" After a fierce struggle, Setsuna finally opened her mouth.

  "Of course, and I will help you too."

  "What should I do then."

  "Hmm... First of all, I should probably greet your elder sister just like you did a moment ago."

  A simple "good morning" is not just a greeting, but also contains the person's heartfelt concern.

  As I watched him leave in a daze, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and was just about to turn around and head back.

  A cold voice suddenly came from one side.

  "What a moving speech, I'm deeply moved."

  It goes without saying that the one who said this sentence is not Yvonne Yung, then who else.

  She didn't know when she appeared in the corridor, looking over with a faint smile.

  "Hey." For a moment, I didn't know what to say, so I just waved my hand in greeting. After thinking for a bit, I added another sentence.

  "Good morning, Yijun Jielin."

  "Looking for death!" Yiwu Jielin brushed off with a swish, releasing dozens of ice arrows.

  It's okay, if it's just this much.

  My right hand suddenly jumped up and quickly danced around, making a loud clattering noise, shattering all the ice arrows.

  Turned into ice crystals, dancing in the air, it's really beautiful.

  "Good morning." At this time, Chacha Maru suddenly appeared and slightly bowed to me.

  Are you thanking me for protecting Nekomata? You're really a qualified secret admirer, Chachamaru.

  "Good morning, Chachamaru, your master is in high spirits."

  "Yes, because he was freed from the double bondage of school and academic hell, the master was overjoyed and didn't sleep all night..."

  "Damn it... idiot, don't say such things in front of me."

  Hehe... seeing Yiwen's flustered and anxious appearance, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Having been stuck in one place for over a decade, no wonder I'm so excited.

  It's understandable, yeah, really, I couldn't help but nod in agreement.

  "Hey, you over there, what's with the nodding? You want to die once?"

  Can I take this as a cold joke?

  After a fierce rant and conversation, I finally understood Yiwén's intention.

  She seems to want to go out for a stroll and needs a local guide to show her the way.

  To be honest, I've never been here before, so I'm not much of a tour guide at all.

  However, Wen seemed to have ignored this point and said: "This small matter, you handle it yourself."

  After thinking for a long time, I finally found the moment and explained the cause of the matter clearly to her.

  "Of course, if you have something important on hand, you can refuse, and it's not a big deal either."

  With the idea of not wanting to trouble others, I said.

  "No, where's the need, I'd be happy to help the teacher." He agreed without hesitation.

  This sudden decisiveness startled me, and I didn't realize that my relationship with her had become so close.

  No matter what, if you can just agree to it for now, that would be a huge help.

  If Shana were here, Yinwen shouldn't have killed me and then killed her too.

  After agreeing to my request, Setsuna said she needed to go back and prepare a bit, and I also needed to prepare, so the two of us agreed to meet at the entrance of the association in half an hour.

  After parting with He Jia Nan, I reported this good news to Yi Wen Jing Lian.

  To my surprise, she just responded lightly with a "Oh, really? I see."

  It's completely cool now, and there is no excitement or thrill as before.

  I couldn't help but cast a suspicious glance at Chachamaru.

  As expected, Chacha said in a timely manner: "The master is just embarrassed about what happened earlier."

  I suddenly realized and quietly gave ChaCha a thumbs up.

  It's no wonder she's been living with two women for so long, she really understands her master's personality.

  "What's there to be shy about, we're all in our hundreds now." I blurted out these words without thinking.

  Oh no! It wasn't until after I spoke that I realized how stupid a thing I had just said.

  As expected, Yijian Jielin flew into a rage.

  The following scenes are too bloody and harmonious.

  Ten minutes later, I walked out of Yvonne's room with a look of utter incredulity.

  I'm still alive, I'm actually still alive. No, it shouldn't be said that way...

  I surprisingly wasn't killed by Yiwu, it's unbelievable, I actually walked out of that room unscathed.

  I looked up at the blue sky and couldn't help but think, is the end of the world coming?

  Suddenly, I found that my relationship with Yiwén seems to have changed a lot here.

  I'm not sure of the specific reason, but it seems like I feel that Yiwu is not as aggressive towards me as before, and the things that used to dismember me at any moment have not happened.

  Especially when I offended her one after another.

  Is it that I've become stronger, or has Yijun Lin become gentler?

  Neither of these two situations is possible.

  Although I'm quite capable, it would only take a split second for Yvonne Jie Lin in her prime to kill me.

  Can a true ancestor who has lived for six hundred years suddenly change his personality? That's too ridiculous.

  Half an hour later, when I brought Yvonne and Chacha to the entrance of the association, I saw that Setsuna was already waiting here.

  There is another person by her side, Mokonah.

  "Now that everyone is here, let's set off." I said calmly, ignoring the strange team.

  All along the way, I carefully looked at Setsuna with my eyes and asked why Mokou had also come along.

  "Ah, I was on my way back to prepare and suddenly ran into Mokonosou-sama, so I tried doing what you told me, teacher..."

  I see, I understand now.

  With Mokona's personality, as long as Satoru dared to smile at her for a moment, she would be able to climb up the pole and thoroughly grasp Satoru.

  This is indeed a gift, looking at the original work, Mokuren has no mind, treating people sincerely, ordinary people can't resist her charm, let alone Setsuna who originally had strong feelings for her.

  It was only a matter of time before I fell, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

  And so, a group of people began strolling around Kyoto under the leadership of Setsuna and Monoka.

  Then, what happened next was mentioned earlier, after getting tired, they took a break at a coffee shop.

  The scene was somewhat calm, and after an unknown amount of time had passed...

  "Get down!" Yiwu said.

  "Teacher!" Xie almost spoke at the same time.

  "Hmm? Is there something?" I trembled with fear, as if walking on thin ice.
