Chapter 1377: Oshi no Ko? (Part 2)

"Actually, it's not that complicated. It's just that I've been arranged into a marriage by a bunch of people I don't even know."

As soon as Chunzi finished saying "it's a long story," she immediately stated the core conflict she encountered in very concise language.

"It's already the 21st century, and your family is still doing this?" Luo Quan was speechless upon hearing Chunzi's words. "Can't you just refuse directly? If they force you, just run away. Are you still afraid you can't support yourself now?"

"It's not my family forcing me." Chunzi shook her head. "You should be very familiar with this situation, Quan-chan."

"I'm familiar with it—forced marriage?" Luo Quan frowned, then immediately understood which one Chunzi was talking about. "The Japanese Imperial Family is pressuring your grandfather? That shouldn't be right; isn't Jinggong Yazu already married?"

Chunzi corrected: "He isn't the only seedling in the family; he also has a younger sister and a younger brother."

"So it's his younger brother who has his eyes on you?"

Luo Quan was immediately furious: "This is truly lawless! What era is this, and they're still doing this? Are they really not afraid of public opinion on the internet?"

"For them, public opinion might not be of much use." Chunzi shook her head helplessly. "And they don't intend to rely on mobilizing public opinion to force me like before; instead, they are attacking directly from my family's side."

"You mean they are threatening your relatives?" Luo Quan frowned upon hearing this. If that was the case, it was indeed difficult to handle.

No matter what, they were the highest power and nobility in Japan. Although they belonged to the "mascot" category like the British Queen, as long as it wasn't a particularly outrageous request, politicians would still flock to it once it was spoken.

Just like how Jinggong's father chased his mother back then.

Jinggong's mother was a diplomat with a bright future, and she was both talented and beautiful.

Who knew she would suddenly be spotted by Jinggong's father? That Crown Prince used a combination of soft and hard tactics and public opinion pressure, forcing Jinggong's mother to marry him.

Luo Quan had almost encountered the same trick before; she could only say it was fortunate she ran fast.

Now Chunzi was facing it again; this family truly had a style passed down through the generations.

Fortunately, Lyon wasn't Japanese, otherwise, he might have been targeted by that little princess too.

"Speaking of which, isn't Jinggong's younger brother mentally disabled? Does he even know how to take a wife?" Luo Quan suddenly remembered this.

When browsing Bilibili before, she had seen this news. It seemed to say that the Reiwa family wasn't very normal.

Except for Jinggong, who was still quite handsome, the other brothers and sisters were a bit ugly, and the younger brother had obvious intelligence problems. He was ranked last in the whole school in high school exams and was often bullied by classmates.

Would someone who couldn't even understand his studies think about taking a wife?

Chunzi replied: "I'm also puzzled by this. Grandfather said it might be because he's mentally disabled, so he wants to find a woman who is outstanding enough to ensure his future life can be a bit better.

Very honorably, my looks, ability, and family background all caught their family's eye, so half a month ago, they sent a pile of betrothal gifts directly to our house."

"Without even discussing it? What kind of operation is sending betrothal gifts directly?"

Chunzi said with a troubled expression: "For many Japanese people, this is actually an honor, but I don't want such an honor.

Besides, after sending the betrothal gifts, they also let out word, saying that if I refuse this marriage, I should think carefully about what the consequences will be.

The meaning of the threat is already very obvious. I can just walk away, but my family can't. So these past few days, I've only been able to stay in Tokyo, trying to find a solution."

"Did you find one?"

Chunzi nodded: "I found one. If the Yagyu family has its own heirloom weapon, it will definitely not be bullied!"

Chunzi pointed to the Tokyo Art Awards rebroadcasting on the TV and said: "This Himura Rin, her family also runs a sword hall and has an ancestral reverse-blade sword. After the recovery of spiritual energy, it became extremely fierce, and no sword in all of Japan can be compared to it.

So this Miss Himura is more compatible in age with that little prince, but she has never encountered any harassment.

And the famous swords in our family have either been donated to museums or destroyed in the wars. The ones still in our hands now have relatively average power, so no one fears them."

This was very realistic. This world is about who has the bigger fist.

If the Yagyu family also had a divine sword, they definitely wouldn't encounter such things.

"Perhaps I have a way." Luo Quan thought of her system mall. She should be able to exchange for a powerful divine sword in it, right?

When the time comes, give it to that Yagyu Sword Saint, perform a "God-Slaying Sword Slash," and see if anyone dares to come and propose to his granddaughter again!

"Quan-chan, do you really have a way?!" Chunzi was so excited she almost jumped out of her seat. "Could it be that not only do you have British and French artifacts, but you even have Japanese ones!"

"I definitely have them, but it might take a while." Luo Quan nodded, but didn't say it was impossible.

If she was lucky, she could exchange it from the mall tonight.

But if she was unlucky and it wasn't in the mall, then she would have to find another way.

"In any case, don't think too much. I will definitely help you with this matter. At worst, we'll just expose this news directly, and we'll use public opinion to apply reverse pressure!"

Luo Quan said, picking up a large piece of beef with her chopsticks and saying it with certainty.

It was no longer the era where nobles could control everything.

So if these people really dared to oppress too much, they would have to pay close attention to their own personal safety.

"Ding-dong!"

At this moment, the sound of the doorbell suddenly came from the entrance.

Luo Quan was closer, so she got up and went to the door: "Who is it?"

"Food delivery."

It was a woman's voice.

"Did you order food delivery?"

Luo Quan turned her head to look at Chunzi while opening the door.

"I didn't order food delivery."

Chunzi showed a puzzled expression, and then was surprised to see a masked woman holding a dagger appear outside the door.

Because Luo Quan was in the posture of looking back at Chunzi, she didn't notice the situation outside the door at first.

By the time she turned her head back, she found that the other party's dagger had already been stabbed into her left chest.

If it were a normal person, this stab would definitely be fatal.

However, if Luo Quan's Flawless Immortal Body couldn't even block this little bit of damage, then it wouldn't be called a Flawless Immortal Body.

The moment the dagger touched her body, it shattered into two pieces. This stab, besides tearing Luo Quan's T-shirt and underwear, had no effect.

"Damn, there's an assassin!"

Luo Quan almost subconsciously slapped the masked woman, directly slapping her against the wall with a "pia" sound, and she instantly fainted.

"Quan-chan, are you okay!" Chunzi rushed over, hugging Luo Quan with an incomparably nervous expression.

"I'm fine." Luo Quan shook her head with a chuckle.

However, this person was quite accurate when stabbing her, aiming directly for the heart. If it had been Chunzi who opened the door, could she have survived?

Luo Quan squatted down and pulled off the woman's mask.

It was a woman with an ordinary appearance, about twenty years old.

She looked like she had been neglecting her appearance and staying up late for a long time; her face was a bit haggard, a typical sub-healthy state.

"Chunzi, do you know this person?"

Luo Quan had just arrived in Tokyo, and no one knew where she was going, so this person was likely not targeting her; she was probably here to seek revenge on Chunzi.

"This person... I seem to have seen her before..."

Chunzi stared at the woman's face and recalled seriously, then she suddenly clapped her hands: "I remember now! She seems to be an old fan of mine in Japan; she even took a photo with me before!"

"An old fan?" Luo Quan was even more puzzled upon hearing this. "An old fan still wants to stab you? What kind of grudge or hatred is this?"

"I don't know either. I don't even know how she found out my address." Chunzi said with lingering fear.

Fortunately, Quan-chan was here today. If it had been herself who opened the door, it would be hard to say whether she could have dodged this sudden stab.

Although her strength was also very strong now, who would have thought an old fan would suddenly come to the door to kill her?

"Send her to the police station first. We'll know everything after the interrogation."

Luo Quan said, directly calling the Metropolitan Police Department to send someone to arrest the murderer.

Soon, several police officers arrived at the scene and took away the murderer who was still in a coma.

At the same time, Luo Quan and Chunzi, as the parties involved, were also taken to the Metropolitan Police Department to make a statement.

As a big star, although Luo Quan hadn't been to Tokyo for a long time, she still received very high treatment.

Even many police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department had met her before.

When they encountered a bomb threat at Narita Airport, they had also fought side-by-side with Luo Quan.

It was just that most of them didn't contribute much; it was basically solved by Luo Quan.

In short, the national goddess encountered a disaster, and a group of police officers could be said to be filled with righteous indignation.

If it were someone else, they might not have had any emotions, because Japanese police are famous for being "Buddhist" (laid-back), and they are as gentle as childcare workers even when dealing with criminals.

But this time, it was incomparably strict. The criminal was interrogated immediately after waking up, while Luo Quan observed from behind the glass, surrounded by a large group of leaders asking about her well-being.

"Confess! Why did you go to assassinate Luo Quan and Chunzi!"

The police officer questioned loudly, and the woman, who was already handcuffed, was quite cooperative, saying directly: "Chunzi is about to get married, and she will no longer belong to me.

I can't bear Chunzi being occupied by others. Rather than seeing such a heartbreaking thing happen, it's better to let her die in my hands, and then I'll commit suicide, so we can be together forever, hehehehe."

Looking at the woman's neurotic smile, Luo Quan now understood the difference between a 2D "yandere" and a 3D "yandere."

A 2D yandere is a "moe" point for many otaku, who think it would be great to have a fanatical girl who views them as her life.

But the experience of encountering such a person in 3D is completely different.

Because such a woman is very easy to go to extremes, and then it's really possible to take your life.

"How did you know Chunzi was getting married? How did you get her address?"

Luo Quan immediately questioned the woman inside through the microphone.

"You don't know about Chunzi's matter, Goddess Luo Quan?"

The surrounding police officers showed puzzled expressions. This matter had been rumored for several days, saying that the Crown Prince's younger brother had taken a fancy to Chunzi, and even betrothal gifts had been sent.

"So this matter had already spread?"

Luo Quan widened her eyes. She hadn't noticed it at all in the country, and only found out after asking Chunzi upon arriving in Tokyo.

"It's just spreading among the people; no serious media has reported it. It's actually just rumors released to test the public's attitude.

If the opposition isn't strong, they will force it even harder."

Chunzi whispered to Luo Quan. After hearing this, Luo Quan only felt that the family was truly disgusting.

Of course, the female lunatic in front of her was also disgusting.

After further interrogation, the truth came to light.

This woman named Hanako was an otaku living nearby and was Chunzi's fanatical, brain-dead fan.

Upon learning that Chunzi might get married, because she was afraid of losing Chunzi, her yandere side flared up, and she wanted to kill her idol and then commit self-immolation while holding her idol's body, so they could never be separated again.

As for Chunzi's address, it was revealed to her by a friend who was a food delivery worker.

Although Chunzi would wear a mask when going out, the protection when at home definitely wasn't that strict.

Sometimes her face would be seen by delivery workers.

However, although Chunzi was also a big star, she wasn't as famous as Luo Quan, and the recognizability of her face hadn't reached the point of being recognized at a glance.

So some delivery workers didn't recognize Chunzi, but some did and remembered it firmly in their hearts.

Hanako's friend was one of them.

After getting Chunzi's address from her friend, she often observed and scouted outside the villa where Chunzi lived, and finally chose to commit the crime today.

And in her observation, Chunzi had always lived alone, so she stabbed after the door was opened.

However, unfortunately, she encountered Luo Quan, whose chest was harder than an iron plate.

Hanako finally said that Luo Quan was a monster; she clearly stabbed the knife in, but the other party was completely fine.

But who would take a lunatic's words seriously?

Luo Quan's Olympic champion title in freestyle wrestling was won at the Tokyo Olympics.

Everyone had a very deep impression of her combat power. What threat could a mere armed female criminal pose to her?

Just think back to when Luo Quan was in the United States, facing a group of big black guys with handguns—didn't she still clean them all up by herself in the end?

So the woman's confession didn't make everyone suspicious, only thinking that her brain had become unclear.

"Don't live alone in the future. How good would it be to stay at your grandfather's kendo hall? It's full of experts, so you don't have to be afraid if you really encounter criminals."

After making the statement, on the way home, Luo Quan advised Chunzi: "However, with this matter, perhaps you can avoid the harassment of that prince even without an artifact."

"If only it were really that simple." Chunzi took a deep breath, and her gloomy mood finally felt much better. ===== CHAPTER 1378 =====
