NO．111：The unexpectedly appearing old home gate

No matter how angry she was, Zhouri Ningjing still couldn't bring herself to act.

No matter how angry she was, Zhouri Ningjing still couldn't bring herself to act.

It wasn't that this horse girl miraculously let reason overcome emotion, realizing that her chances of acting were extremely low.

Rather, her sister's feelings were simply too hard to ignore; she not only failed to act, but instead had to pretend that those previous things were indeed done by her, in order to accept the thanks from the crowd outside.

The most pathetic episode — Zhouri Ningjing's perspective.

Translation: "But her younger sister's feelings were simply too hard to ignore, so she not only couldn't act, she had to pretend that those earlier things were indeed done by her, in order to accept the thanks from the crowd outside the door." Need to keep meaning. Let's produce: "But her younger sister's feelings were simply too hard to ignore; she not only couldn't act, she had to pretend that those earlier things were indeed done by her, in order to accept the thanks from the crowd outside the door."

For the usual Zhouri, who is used to dark looks of awe, resentment, and fear, and for Zhouri Ningjing, who is used to looks of disdain, jealousy, and hostility, such grateful, admiring mixed kind looks, and the crowd's gathering, are completely an exceptionally distant memory.

Translation: "The most pathetic episode—Zhouri Ningjing's perspective." Could be "The most miserable episode—Zhouri Ningjing's point of view." We'll output: "The most pathetic episode—Zhouri Ningjing's perspective."

So distant that she can barely remember the racecourse with its curves and slopes, nor can she recall the row of people standing at the front back then.

Even when her fuzzy memories are jogged, they remain unclear; the hot-tempered girl hasn't changed in personality at all, yet she truly finds it hard to continue directing those harsh words at those faces.

Translation: "So distant that she could barely recall the curved and sloped sections of the track, nor could she remember who stood in the front row at that time." Let's produce: "So distant that she could barely recall the curved and sloped sections of the track, nor could she remember who stood in the front row at that time."

Of course, she still has another default manner when dealing with people: the bureaucratic air forged in the association.

Translation: "Even when her fuzzy memories were jogged, they remained unclear; the hot-tempered girl hadn't changed her personality at all, yet it was indeed hard for her to continue snarling at those faces." Let's produce: "Even when her fuzzy memories were jogged, they remained unclear; the hot-tempered girl hadn't changed her personality at all, yet it was indeed hard for her to continue snarling at those faces."

But that attitude of sitting in the office, pushing responsibility away with a disgusted, 'not my problem' demeanor, is clearly not applicable now.

Translation: "Of course, she also had another usual manner when dealing with people: the bureaucratic air forged in the association." Let's produce: "Of course, she also had another usual manner when dealing with people: the bureaucratic air forged in the association."

Thus she felt each day drag on like a year.

Translation: "But that sickening attitude of pushing responsibility aside while sitting in the office clearly didn't apply now." Let's produce: "But that sickening attitude of pushing responsibility aside while sitting in the office clearly didn't apply now."

"Mm-hmm, I also really recommend this pattern that Jordan personally recommended!"

Let's produce: "She stiffly accepted the crowd's thanks, while not far away behind the door, a group of people leisurely held drinks and chatted about daily life."

"But the Sun God said it doesn't suit me..."

"Mm-hmm, I also really recommend this pattern that Jordan personally recommended!"

"Oh dear, Shanxin, you'd also suit another pattern that Jordan recommended, and that blogger-recommended Buddhist chant earrings too — they just weirdly suit you!"

Translation: "But the Sun God said it doesn't suit me..." Let's produce: "But the Sun God said it doesn't suit me..."

"Buddhist chant earrings?"

Translation: "Oh dear, Shinxin, you'd suit the other pattern Jordan recommended, and that blogger-recommended Buddhist mantra earring too—it somehow feels perfect!" Let's produce: "Oh dear, Shinxin, you'd suit the other pattern Jordan recommended, and that blogger-recommended Buddhist mantra earring too—it somehow feels perfect!"

"Mm-hmm, let me flip through... ah, found it, look, this one — it can be slipped directly onto the base of the ear, a gold version with many Buddhist chant patterns."

Translation: "Buddhist mantra earring?" Let's produce: "Buddhist mantra earring?"

"It's a rather subtle engraving, giving a mysterious feel; it indeed matches the steady impression Shanxin gives off, even if you can't see it on stage."

Translation: "Mm-hmm, let me see... ah, found it—look, this one, you can slip it right onto the base of the ear, it's a gold version with many Buddhist mantra patterns." Let's produce: "Mm-hmm, let me see... ah, found it—look, this one, you can slip it right onto the base of the ear, it's a gold version with many Buddhist mantra patterns."

"Um... I was actually trying to rope in the Sun God..."

Translation: "It's quite subtly engraved, giving a mysterious feel; it indeed matches Shinxin's steady impression, even if you can't see it on stage." Let's produce: "It's quite subtly engraved, giving a mysterious feel; it indeed matches Shinxin's steady impression, even if you can't see it on stage."

"LOL, Shanxin, you're definitely not that exaggerated in daily life."

Translation: "Uh... I was actually trying to rope in the Sun God..." Let's produce: "Uh... I was actually trying to rope in the Sun God..."

"Then next time I'll come help you?"

Translation: "Haha, Shinxin, you're not usually that exaggerated." Let's produce: "Haha, Shinxin, you're not usually that exaggerated."

"Huh?! Really?! Rebecca is willing to help? I've always thought Rebecca's cyber style is super cool! She'll definitely draw lots of people to the venue!"

The girls chattered about makeup and hobbies, while the big guys nearby couldn't help but click their tongues.

Translation: "Heh heh! No problem! I've got it all covered!" Let's produce: "Heh heh! No problem! I've got it all covered!"

"This little girl told me not to do unpaid work, but a few words later she turned herself into free labor."

"Oh dear, Professor Takuto isn't a bad girl, she'll definitely repay the favor," Bi Ze waved his hand, "and being able to meet them so quickly isn't enviable? I also really want to get that close to them, I'm truly envious of you, Lukun."

Translation: "This little girl told me not to do unpaid work, but a few words later she turned herself into free labor." Let's produce: "This little girl told me not to do unpaid work, but a few words later she turned herself into free labor."

"Huh?" He didn't expect the topic to suddenly jump to himself, the Ultraman warrior, turning his head in surprise.

He was still closely watching the screen in Aomo's hands, which was synchronously showing the investigative movements of the Special Duty staff over there.

Let's produce: "He was still closely watching the screen in Aomo-san's hand, which was synchronously showing the investigative movements of the special forces personnel."

"Your words are slick even in Yan language, and even more perverted in Jidong language," Aomo, who could hardly hold back, raised his head and glanced at the somewhat clueless Xiao Lu, "Xiao Lu, just keep watching this side."

Translation: "You're not training in the milk bath, are you? How is it? Do you often find the milk bath cute?" Let's produce: "You're not training in the milk bath, are you? How is it? Do you often find the milk bath cute?"

Saying that, he simply moved the light screen to Xiao Lu's front and fixed it, then turned to look at Akane nearby, who was bent over examining the demon person model.

"Your words are slick even in Yan language, and even more perverted in Jidong language," Aomo, who could hardly hold back, raised his head and glanced at the somewhat clueless Xiao Lu, "Xiao Lu, just keep watching this side."

"Any damage?"

Let's produce: "Saying that, he simply moved the light screen to Xiao Lu's face and fixed it in place, then turned to look at Xi, who was bent over examining the demon-person model beside him."

"No, whether it's the initial command feedback or the current inspection results, it feels completely untouched by attack." Saying that, Akane, who finally stopped observing, passed the model to the other side where the tea seat was still gazing toward the door in a daze.

Translation: "Any damage?" Let's produce: "Any damage?"

It even gave the latter a start; upon seeing clearly what it was, she immediately cradled it with both hands.

Translation: "No, whether it's the initial command feedback or the current inspection results, it feels completely untouched by attack." Saying that, Xi, who finally stopped observing, handed the model to Chazuo on her other side, who was still gazing absentmindedly toward the door.

"Since we've decided to attack, we should naturally confirm the variables here," Aomo nodded, "it's not strange at all."

"So the thing that was running in the outer ring earlier was this?" Chiyo slightly bowed, leaning in to look at the model in the tea seat's hand.

"Yeah, I made it in a moment of chiseling," Akane lifted her chin, "and I even fully replicated it while dragging the little snake along!"

Translation: "So the thing that was running in the outer ring before was this?" Qianming bowed slightly, leaned in to look at the model in Chazuo's hand. Let's produce: "So the thing that was running in the outer ring before was this?" Qianming bowed slightly, leaned in to look at the model in Chazuo's hand.

"Dragging?" Rudolf wondered about that wording.

"Normally I use 3D photos as reference, then at home I make him become like this, and then strike a pose!"

Translation: "Pulling?" Rudolf wondered about that wording. Let's produce: "Pulling?" Rudolf wondered about that wording.

"Your wording is quite problematic, Miss Shinjo." Aomo, feeling the surrounding gazes sting, raised his hand and ruffled the head of this nonsense speaker.

However, this pink-haired JK has always had short hair; even if, due to someone's aesthetic, she hasn't continued regular trimming lately, letting it grow a bit still doesn't create any weakness in her hairstyle getting messed up.

Translation: "Your wording is really problematic, Miss Xinjo." Aomo, feeling the surrounding gazes painfully bright, raised his hand and rubbed the head of this nonsense speaker. Let's produce: "Your wording is really problematic, Miss Xinjo." Aomo, feeling the surrounding gazes painfully bright, raised his hand and rubbed the head of this nonsense speaker.

Even more so now, she strikes a confident pose: "Any problem? I looked it up — it just means finger-combing the hair, striking a pose, right?"

"You've learned Yan language well; from now on, just speak Jidong language," Aomo remarked indifferently, turning his head to look at Xiao Lu's screen.

"Although the first syllable being proper and round isn't profanity, which is a relief, we should still start practicing from 'hello thank you'."

Translation: "What! It's clearly the little snake who said she wanted to hear me speak Yan language!" Let's produce: "What! It's clearly the little snake who said she wanted to hear me speak Yan language!"

Let's produce: "Although the fact that the first syllable with proper tone isn't a swear word is relieving, but let's still start practicing from 'hello thank you'."

"Come on now," Aomo said, pulling her into his arms for a hug before gently guiding her back to sit, then nodding at Rudolf and Chiyo, "you've made us laugh."

Translation: "Discrimination! The little snake is discriminating against people! I'll go tell Qiena-chan about it!" Let's produce: "Discrimination! The little snake is discriminating against people! I'll go tell Qiena-chan about it!"

"Ah, it's fine." Chiyo, representing, glanced elsewhere and scratched her head.

"Tsk, really shameless, you two." Suzi, sitting diagonally opposite and flipping her tablet, glanced up briefly, then adopted a look of 'out of sight, out of mind' disdain.

Thinking that, and also due to everyday familiarity, being able to notice these two's unnatural reactions, Aomo had to admit it in his heart.

Translation: "Well... that's a bit awkward..." Let's produce: "Well... that's a bit awkward..."

After all, he never expected Akane to act all cute in front of everyone like that.

Translation: "Thinking that, and also due to everyday familiarity, being able to notice these two's unnatural reactions, Aomo had to admit it in his heart." Let's produce: "Thinking that, and also due to everyday familiarity, being able to notice these two's unnatural reactions, Aomo had to admit it in his heart."

Their usual private interaction, done in front of a group of friends for the first time, indeed brought up a feeling of embarrassment that was unprecedented, refreshing his self-awareness.

Translation: "After all, he never expected Xi to act coquettish in front of everyone." Let's produce: "After all, he never expected Xi to act coquettish in front of everyone."

He used to think he was bold and thick-skinned, already fully practiced under the gaze of elders and certain public settings, but facts show he still has situations where he gets embarrassed by looks.

When his gaze drifted slightly back from the two childhood idols, he could see the other's ears turning red; Aomo couldn't help but cough lightly twice, then noticed a staring gaze, turned his head, and saw the person who had put down the tablet.

Translation: "Hmm... probably boldness..." Let's produce: "Hmm... probably boldness..."

His gaze drifted slightly away from the two former idols, and he could see the other person's ears flushed red. Aomo couldn't help but cough lightly twice, then immediately noticed a piercing stare; turning his head, he saw the person in charge who had put down the tablet.

It's hard for her to stay silent…… Aomo turned his head as if he hadn't heard, he looked again at the screen where Xiao Lu was:

Any progress, Xiao Lu?

... Ah?

He seemed overly focused to the point of not even noticing Xiao Lu beside him; when called upon, he even had a somewhat startled reaction, glancing at Aomo and then at the few girls beside him. Although he suspected the atmosphere was a bit strange, he still answered first:

Yes! The coordinates have been locked onto a rocket launch shaft, and it's even in the Bai De District's...

"Aachen." Aomo, who had already seen it, said softly.

"Crossing districts... This will be more troublesome for the staff."

Aachen, once called the heart of Europe, is a famed city at the junction of three zones and a tourist destination, known for its hot spring spa, and is also the industrial, technological center and transportation hub of the Bai De District.

As for Aomo, that place name has another way of being introduced.

Just as the Jie Men District has an exotic realm on both sides of paper, Aachen also has a massive space replicated 1:1 on the inner side, inhabited by a group of demons and those related to demons and their worshippers.

Such spaces generally have an officially designated name.

Demon Realm District.
