Chapter 46: Escaped a Calamity

At 9:50 PM, Qingshan Li prepared to go out.

"I'm heading out."

"Be careful on the way."

"Besides me, you're not allowed to open the door for anyone."

Just like eating and brushing teeth every day, the siblings repeated the same conversation at roughly the same time.

But today was different.

"Miyuki, there's a bamboo sword by the doorway. If there's danger, remember to grab it immediately."

"A kitchen knife works way better than bamboo." Ono Mizuki fiddled with Qingshan Li's mobile phone.

"How long is a kitchen knife? How can it compare to bamboo? Of course, using both the bamboo sword and kitchen knife together is best. Hear me?"

"Got it, got it."

Putting on his shoes, closing the door, Qingshan Li walked through the dim stairs.

The corridor had lights, but it was dark; the light intensity was about the same as the moon at its brightest.

Qingshan Li used to worry about nighttime safety, but not anymore.

—System, can you guide me in fighting?

【Whether to start 'Free Fighting' guidance】

A salaryman walked up like a zombie, holding rice balls and grilled sausages bought from a convenience store.

—No

He only gets home at 10, can only eat convenience store food; for someone who's already 'free fought' with life all day, Qingshan Li felt the system was no match.

The system is no match, but he's the one who gets beaten, just like Tiga consumes Da Gu's physical strength.

This is the hardship of a human host; outsiders can't understand.

Emerging from the corridor, Qingshan Li took a breath of the spring night air and strode toward the dental hospital.

Going out for a walk every night at 10, breathing fresh air, feeling the spring breeze caress his body like small hands — he actually liked it a lot.

Picking up Ono Mika, the two walked back together, their pace leisurely.

"Ono Mihana."

"Hm?"

"At dinner, you said you wanted to travel. Is there a place you want to go?"

Ono Mika smiled lightly and said: "I want to go everywhere — crowded tourist spots, remote countryside, I want to walk through them all."

"This summer vacation we'll set off!"

"Okay." Ono Mika showed a cooperative, gentle smile.

"Ono Mihana, you don't really believe me." Qingshan Li smiled and spoke halfway, then suddenly looked across the road.

Ono Mika followed his gaze; her sight struggled through the cherry blossom trees, and she saw Nishitani's daughter, Rin in gal getup.

She was entangled with several people with multicolored hair.

"I'm going home, let go!"

"It's only 10 o'clock, what's the rush to go back so early?"

"Rin-chan, you've been off lately, going home this early every day."

A girl showed a disdainful smile: "She actually brought textbooks in her bookbag."

"No way?" A man shrieked, reaching to grab Xiya Ling's bookbag.

"Let go!" Xiya Rin broke free.

Everyone gathered close, forming a circle, trapping her in the middle.

"Rin-chan, are you abandoning us?" The crowd closed in step by step.

"A gal turning over a new leaf, starting to study hard — a real-life bottom-tier gal. I'll film it; might go viral!" A red-haired girl took out her mobile phone.

"Ah, right right, Rin-chan told me before she also wants to be a star. Let's give her a hand~" A blonde girl with a black bow said.

"For real? Haha!"

Qingshan Li said to Ono Mika: "Sis, you call Dr. Nishitani. I'll go take a look."

Ono Mika gazed at him for a moment, then nodded: "Mm, be careful!"

Across the road.

"You promised me, you wouldn't tell anyone!" Rin-chan shouted angrily.

"You betrayed me first!" The blonde girl with the black bow roared, "Family runs a hospital, played till you got tired then suddenly start studying — can you not be so gross?!"

"Wait wait, Rin-chan really thought about being a star? With that ugly face of hers?"

"Stop it, I'm going home!" Xiya Rin tried to leave.

The crowd surrounded her, not touching her, just blocking with their bodies, while their mouths chattered nonstop, letting out mocking laughter.

"Monolid, thick legs, flab on the waist."

Xiya Rin struggled to squeeze out, tears starting to flow.

"She's crying, hurry up and take out her textbooks, tear them up to wipe her tears~" An earring-wearing boy said flippantly.

Someone reached to snatch the bookbag on Xiya Rin.

"I heard erasers work even better for wiping tears."

"For real? Would anyone use an eraser to wipe tears?"

"Try it and you'll know."

"Hey."

The crowd fell silent, looking across the road as Qingshan Li walked over.

"What?" The earring-wearing boy turned his head with a cold face, looking over. "You want to come mock her too?"

Qingshan Li didn't look at him, standing in place, and said to Xiya Ling: "Come over."

"Qing Shan!" Xiya Ling squeezed through the crowd and ran toward him.

A boy laughed and stepped forward to block her, once again forcing Xiya Ling back into the circle.

"Let go of me!" Xiya Ling shouted.

While blocking her, they bumped her back with their bodies, and while laughing, they sized up Qingshan Li, watching what he intended to do.

"Ling, don't move, stay there." Qingshan Li said.

"Thought you were something special." The red-haired girl snorted coldly.

Qingshan Li took a step, he walked over.

"Want to fight?" A long-haired boy walked forward a step with contempt.

"I study at Kaimei High School," Qingshan Li answered, "my grades are not ideal, long-term staying outside the top fifty but within the top hundred, if I continue like this, in the future I can only attend an ordinary National University."

"After graduating from university, doing a job where you can see the end at a glance, becoming an Executive Director of a small company at forty or fifty years old, with an annual salary of only several tens of millions to one hundred million."

"But," he continued, "in my eyes, you are more pitiful than me."

"Bastard, seeking death!" The long-haired boy took a step, both hands clenched into fists, knuckles hideous.

"Stop!" The ear-stud boy blocked him.

The long-haired boy's anger exploded all at once: "You—"

The ear-stud boy gave him a look, signaling to the surroundings.

The long-haired boy took a deep breath, looking at Qingshan Li: "You've got guts, kid, daring to look down on me, just you wait!"

Qingshan Li did not speak.

Nor did he stop his steps.

Doctor Nishitani took very good care of Ono Mika.

Xiya Ling, a sixteen-year-old girl, her desire to graduate from being a gal and study hard should also be protected.

In addition, this group of dangerous people often hangs around here, which would make him worry about Ono Mika's safety.

Thinking about it carefully, how fragile human life is, a hairdresser being in a bad mood could easily kill a customer.

So, when going out, even in the service industry, one should respect the other person's basic personality, and it's best not to make enemies.

Overnight grudges and such are the most troublesome, it's more convenient to solve the problem now.

—Right, System?

【Begin 'Free Fighting' guidance】

"Xiao Ling!" Doctor Nishitani's voice came from afar.

Qingshan Li stopped his steps.

"Go!" The ear-stud boy said in a low voice.

They left unhurriedly, the long-haired boy's final look at Qingshan Li was very malicious, like a smelly sewer outlet.

"Xiao Ling!!" Doctor Nishitani ran over in a hurry.

As soon as Mom arrived, Xiya Ling, who had been bravely resisting just now, immediately threw herself into Mom's arms and burst into tears.

Qingshan Li turned and left, walking face-to-face with Ono Mika who was walking over quickly.

She sized up Qingshan Li from top to bottom.

Before she could speak, Qingshan Li said: "Sis, let's leave here first."

Ono Mika nodded somewhat nervously.

The two had just left this street when she couldn't help but ask: "Li, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Qingshan Li smiled and said, "After all, they're just students, they only know how to scare people, once I went over, they wouldn't know what to do."

"It's my first time encountering something like this, too scary." Ono Mika was still frightened.

This was also the first time Qingshan Li felt a hint of stuffiness from the spring night, making him irritable.
