Main text:

"Of course I'm not joking," Miss Luo Quan replied solemnly. "Don't be misled by the image of Kusanagi in anime or games. Although I can't be sure what Kusanagi looks like, it definitely wouldn't be a katana.

Because Kusanagi is an ancient divine artifact, and the katana should have appeared around the Edo period, so Kusanagi definitely wouldn't look like a katana."

"I see." Chunzi took the naginata-like Kusanagi with suspicion and examined it carefully.

"Be careful, this sword is very sharp, truly cutting iron like mud."

Miss Luo Quan reminded her with a serious tone, while handing the scabbard to Chunzi.

"Let me try."

Chunzi said, directly pulling out one of her hairs and placing it on the blade of Kusanagi.

Letting go, the hair drifted down and was cut into two halves by Kusanagi without any obstruction.

"It really is blowing hair and cutting iron like mud!" Chunzi widened her eyes and asked with surprise: "So, Quan-chan, you're really giving me such a powerful weapon just like that?"

"If you're really embarrassed to accept it for free, you can consider exchanging something for me, like yourself." Miss Luo Quan joked with a chuckle.

"Ah... if you want me, Quan-chan, it's not impossible." Chunzi lowered her head shyly; it seemed she was really quite willing.

"Alright, what would I do with you?" Miss Luo Quan flicked Chunzi's forehead, startling her into letting out an "Ouch."

"Take this sword to your grandfather. With this sword here, I don't think anyone in Japan will dare to trouble the Yagyu family again."

Miss Luo Quan brought the topic back to the main point. Chunzi nodded and said: "I've already called my family; they should be here soon.

I will send the item back personally to avoid any mysterious accidents on the way."

"Just right, I also have to visit a few old friends. After you finish delivering the sword, just come back here, and we'll fly to Hawaii together."

After Miss Luo Quan arranged the itinerary, Chunzi went out to prepare to return to the foot of Mount Fuji.

Miss Luo Quan also sent messages to a few old friends here.

Mainly Yun Jingxiao and Kamigaya Lingyin.

In the previous band of five people—three women and two men—besides her, the other four eventually became two couples.

Now one couple had already become parents, and the other couple had also started planning to have children.

The only pity was that when they held their wedding, she couldn't be there.

However, they didn't mind, and they were still incomparably enthusiastic after reuniting.

Miyano Xia Zi, holding the son she had with An Er, came to Miss Luo Quan.

Miss Luo Quan held Luo Ning in her arms, and the two mothers chatted about parenting with smiles on their faces.

Kamigaya Lingyin had a look of anxiety but helplessness.

She actually liked children very much, but as a result, her two good friends had already become mothers, while she herself had no movement yet.

So Kamigaya Lingyin directly vented her anger on her husband, Yun Jingxiao: "I told you to smoke less, and now it's good—the child can't be conceived!"

"I've already quit for almost half a year." Yun Jingxiao said very aggrievedly, "And how long have we started preparing for pregnancy? Isn't it normal not to conceive?"

Kamigaya Lingyin hummed: "I don't care. In short, you have to work harder on this matter. I also want to be a mother!"

These words of wanting to be a mother made the two real mothers laugh out loud.

Afterwards, Miyano Xia Zi asked about what happened last night.

Being assassinated by a fan was truly too shocking, and they also wanted to know what happened.

Facing a few good friends, Miss Luo Quan had nothing to hide, so she told them the ins and outs of the matter.

Upon learning that the murderer was a crazy yandere, everyone was speechless.

They could only say that fortunately, Miss Luo Quan still had some strength. If it had been a weak little girl, and she had been stabbed like that when opening the door, wouldn't her life have been over?

"In Tokyo during this period, such lunatics seem to be quite common. Someone was slashing people with a knife on the subway a few days ago." Kamigaya Lingyin shook her head and sighed.

"The economy is not good." Yun Jingxiao sighed, his hand subconsciously reaching into his pants pocket, wanting to smoke a cigarette.

This kind of real social contradiction and dark reality was the best source of creative inspiration for rock musicians.

However, as someone who personally experienced that indiscriminate slashing, his mood was different from that of a distant news reader.

He saw the bloody knife in the murderer's hand with his own eyes, and also saw the murderer's crazy eyes.

How desperate must he have been when he did these things that angered both man and god?

But Yun Jingxiao couldn't empathize with such people, because he endangered the lives of innocent people and should be punished by heaven!

Unfortunately, Japan's judgment and execution of the death penalty were too unfair and too sluggish.

Even if such a vile case was committed, it was estimated that it would be very difficult for that person to be sentenced to death.

Just like the person Miss Luo Quan encountered this time.

After they spent a long prison term and returned to society.

Could these vicious criminals tortured by long prison terms really become good people so easily?

Yun Jingxiao felt it was almost impossible.

Just like the social atmosphere that caused all this, it seemed very difficult to return to normal.

Rock has never been rebellion, but using music to reflect and express humanistic care.

As a thoughtful rock musician, Yun Jingxiao usually thinks more.

And this time, encountering such a sharp contradiction, many thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind.

However, today's theme wasn't rock speculation, so Yun Jingxiao suppressed his inner thoughts and continued chatting with his friends.

Chatting until noon, everyone found a yakitori restaurant famous at home and abroad to dine.

It is said that this yakitori restaurant has an eighty-year history, only makes yakitori cuisine, and was rated as a Michelin restaurant last year. The master in the shop is also called the "Yakitori Immortal."

With such great fame, the consumption is of course very high, 10,000 yen per person.

To be honest, Miss Luo Quan now holds a skeptical attitude towards restaurants with the title of "Immortal," feeling that getting involved with this nickname won't lead to anything good.

It's just that the immortals in Japan are too cheap; everything has an immortal, and it looks quite like the real thing, but after really tasting the flavor, it feels more ordinary than ordinary.

The key is that the price is dead expensive, and the service attitude is often not very good.

It belongs to spending money to find trouble for oneself. Over time, Miss Luo Quan kept a respectful distance from the so-called "Immortal" shops.

And yakitori, a type of Japanese cuisine, is a cuisine that has become popular in recent years.

The name sounds weird, but it's actually grilled small birds.

The small birds here are chickens, not anything else messy.

Miss Luo Quan ate it once when she was in Shanghai. The taste was ordinary, but the price was ridiculously high, and she wasn't full, which counted as paying an IQ tax once.

And now, she seemed to be paying it again.

Although she didn't like eating at "Immortal" restaurants, since Lingyin and the others recommended it, Miss Luo Quan could only follow them in.

Fortunately, it was a Michelin restaurant after all. After eating, the taste was actually not bad, and the service attitude of the staff was also very good. The experience could be said to have greatly exceeded Miss Luo Quan's expectations.

This time, Miss Luo Quan didn't have the feeling of being cheated. Except for the dishes not being enough to fill her stomach, other places were basically perfect.

After eating and drinking, Miss Luo Quan said goodbye to her friends, agreeing to meet next time.

The next time they meet will be in China.

Yun Jingxiao and the others often participate in China's music variety shows and music festivals these two years, so the time they stay in China won't be short.

By then, as long as Miss Luo Quan is free, they can definitely get together.

After saying goodbye to Yun Jingxiao and the others, Miss Luo Quan went to visit Ishimura and Miki.

She had actually known these two earlier than Yun Jingxiao and the others.

It's just that the time for real communication and chatting wasn't much, and the conversations that happened were basically centered on the content of the new album.

Although work relationships occupied more, she didn't have many acquaintances in Japan, not to mention that she would often cooperate with Sony in the future, so Miss Luo Quan didn't leave them behind.

The way of gathering was also very simple: find a quiet place to drink some tea and chat.

At first, they were chatting about their experiences over the past few years, but as they chatted, the topic came to the new album.

It had been more than half a year since the release of the last album.

Although the fans hadn't urged her because she was pregnant during this period, now that her daughter had been born, she didn't look like she needed to sit through the month (postpartum confinement).

So the fans' urging would definitely come soon.

As for Ishimura and Miki, they understood Miss Luo Quan's new song creation speed very well.

One new album a year was nailed down.

Seeing that it was almost summer, it was time to release a new album.

So they would specifically ask.

However, it wasn't to urge her, just to ask for news so the company could start preparing in advance.

"I haven't thought about the new album yet. It might have to wait until after October."

This was Miss Luo Quan's answer.

She wasn't considered a salted fish now; after all, she was so diligent.

However, she got procrastination again, which was: no matter how the fans urged, Miss Luo Quan would say: "It's not that I won't do it for you, but it's definitely not something that can be done immediately. In short, go back and wait for news."

Then wait until the end of the year.

It looked like she wasn't a salted fish, but from the final result, it seemed she was still quite a salted fish.

However, the fans could complain, but Ishimura and Miki didn't have the qualification to complain.

Originally, Miss Luo Quan invited them out to chat and drink tea as friends.

As a result, they chatted about work. If they urged her again, this friendship would be considered over.

So after hearing Miss Luo Quan's response, the two also very sensibly didn't continue the topic.

Half an hour later, Miss Luo Quan, who had finished the tea, said goodbye to the two and headed home.

Opening her phone, she found another heavy news on the trending search: the prince who had harassed Chunzi before actually announced his engagement to the daughter of a big company boss.

It was very sudden, but Miss Luo Quan felt it must have something to do with what she said yesterday.

With the energy of the Imperial Family, they would definitely inquire about such a big thing as her assassination in the first place.

Then they would know the assassin's incomparably absurd reason for killing.

Chunzi is getting married, and she wants to be with Chunzi forever, so she wants to kill Chunzi.

So, who is to blame for Chunzi's matter?

If this matter were exposed directly, what kind of serious consequences would it cause with Miss Luo Quan's influence? You could think clearly with your butt.

And Miss Luo Quan had said yesterday that she would reveal the truth to everyone later.

This was actually calling out to the Imperial Family.

It meant: I already know about Chunzi being forced into marriage. Now that you've made such a big mess, if you don't stop, I'll reveal the truth.

By then, let the whole world see how your Imperial Family is engaged in arranged marriages in the 21st century.

Undoubtedly, Miss Luo Quan's threat worked.

Not even a day had passed since the incident, and they had already found a fiancée for the prince and made an official announcement in the first place. This speed was even faster than the news of Jinggong Yazu's marriage back then.

This was out of fear that Miss Luo Quan would be unhappy and reveal their family's scandal.

But thinking about it, it's normal. The Imperial Family must care most about face.

After all, besides face, they basically have nothing left.

By comparison, the British Royal Family also loves face very much.

But at least they still have some standing in the noble circle, so even if they become shameless, they can still play, and it will even make people feel more awe.

As for here, dare to play like this and wait to become the laughing stock of the world.

In short, Chunzi's matter was perfectly resolved.

Looking at it this way, her Kusanagi seemed a bit redundant. She didn't use this sword, but she still helped Chunzi handle that prince.

However, there was no reason to take back something that had been given away.

Let Chunzi's grandfather keep it. If there is trouble in the future, it won't make Chunzi worry.

Anyway, she had the system set it up on Kusanagi to ensure it wouldn't be used by strangers.

Waiting until night, Chunzi finally returned by car.

After eating a bowl of ramen, Chunzi picked up the luggage that had been prepared by Miss Luo Quan and headed to the airport.

Miss Luo Quan had already bought the tickets—first class departing at midnight.

Although the price was expensive, there was Wi-Fi, a personal space where one could lie down, and quite delicious airplane food.

Although Miss Luo Quan had eaten this airplane food, the taste was truly beyond words.

But just for the fact that she could have an independent bedroom on the plane, Miss Luo Quan felt it was worth the ticket price.

Of course, with Miss Luo Quan's current wealth, she could actually buy a private jet.

It's just that she didn't fly much, so she felt it was a waste to buy one and didn't spend that unjust money.

Chunzi, who was tired for a day, entered dreamland not long after getting on the plane.

Miss Luo Quan pulled open the curtains and enjoyed the night view above the clouds with her daughter. ===== CHAPTER 1382 =====
