Chapter 66

Thinking this way, Xia Xia Xia Mujun reached out and gently rubbed the hair of his sister, who was burying her head in enjoying the Oden.

Although Xia Mururi didn't know why her brother suddenly touched her head, she could feel that intimacy, so she narrowed her eyes happily like a cat being smoothed, enjoying this sudden pampering.

At night.

Around ten-thirty.

"Ruri, Brother is turning off the lights." Xia Xia Xia Mujun stood by the switch on the wall and said softly.

"Hmm..." Xia Mururi wrapped in a quilt and made a confused response on the bed, clearly already half-asleep.

Click—

The switch was pressed.

The three-mat small room was instantly shrouded in darkness, with only the halo of scattered streetlights outside the window penetrating in.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun groped back to his quilt with the faint light of his phone screen.

He planned to continue his great cause of typing as usual.

Just when he opened the document.

A few unread messages from LINE jumped out at the top of the screen, coming from Saionji Nanase, Fujiwara Aoi, and Kondo Miyuki respectively.

He thought for a moment and clicked on Saionji Nanase's chat box first.

【Saionji Nanase: Xia Xia Xia Mujun, are you there?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Yes, what's wrong?】

The message became "read" almost instantly, and then the reply jumped out.

【Saionji Nanase: That... why did you suddenly ask for leave today? Are you sick?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: No.】

【Saionji Nanase: Really not sick?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Really not, why do you ask that?】

【Saionji Nanase: Just... the teacher told me to help you take notes or something, after all, you asked for leave. If you are sick and can't come tomorrow, I thought about bringing the notes to you after school or something.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Thanks for your concern, but there's really no need to do that; I'm really fine.】

【Saionji Nanase: Then... are you coming back to school tomorrow?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Yes.】

【Saionji Nanase: (*^▽^*) That's good, see you tomorrow.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Hmm, see you tomorrow.】

Ending the conversation with Saionji, he slid his finger and clicked on the message Fujiwara Aoi just sent.

【Fujiwara Aoi: Σ(⊙▽⊙" Xia Xia Xia Mujun, when I passed by your class today, I found that the students in your class said you asked for leave; did something happen?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Not sick, just participated in a Shogi tournament and went to play Shogi.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: What? You participated in a Shogi tournament? Could that Shogi tournament be the 'New Shogi Tournament'?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Yes, how do you know about this Shogi tournament?】

【Fujiwara Aoi: I occasionally watch TV with my family, and I have often seen advertisements for this tournament recently, so I thought whether you would also participate in this tournament. Now it seems it's actually true! So you went to the tournament today, how is the situation, did you win?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Hmm.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: o(￣▽￣)d Great, congratulations on your victory!】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Thank you.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: I saw on TV that this tournament is not just one game, it seems to be more than seven or eight games? And after consecutive wins, the prize money seems to keep doubling?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Yes, it's about the same as what you said.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: When is the next match?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Not clear yet, have to wait for news.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: So that's it... By the way, didn't you tell anyone else about playing Shogi? How come your classmates seem to know nothing at all?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Didn't tell them.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: Could it be... you only told me?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Hmm.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: (?ò?ó?) Why did you only tell me...】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Because you were the only one who asked.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: ∑(￣□￣*||| This... so that's it.】

After a short pause, she sent another message.

【Fujiwara Aoi: (???)? By the way, you don't have anything related to Shogi tomorrow, will you go to school?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Yes, what's wrong?】

【Fujiwara Aoi: I remember you said you were looking for a club, if you plan to visit the club after school, remember to call me; I am also curious about what clubs the school has, and I also want to stroll around the school!】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Hmm, I'll call you then.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: (〃'▽'〃) Hmm, then it's a promise.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: (?3[▓▓] It's not early now, I won't disturb your rest, good night.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Good night.】

Finally, he clicked on Kondo Miyuki's avatar.

【Kondo Miyuki: Xia Xia Xia Mujun, didn't you ask where the two Shogi-related relics of your father were before? Have you gone to find the Yasui family's child in the past two days?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Yes, Yasui said it's in the storage room at home, it takes some time to find it, and he will give it to me immediately after finding it.】

【Kondo Miyuki: That's good. However, I'm looking for you today because I have already found the location of another relic...】

Seeing this line of words, Xia Xia Xia Mujun was refreshed, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Where is it?】

【Kondo Miyuki: Like before, the one who took this relic is also a woman. She used to be called Kono Manatsu, but she married into the Mido family many years ago, and now she is called Mido Manatsu...】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Mido Manatsu, then how should I contact her?】

【Kondo Miyuki: ...Actually, I don't have that person's contact information, but even if I did, I wouldn't want you, Xia Xia Xia Mujun, to contact and find this relic. This time I hope you give up and don't look for the relic in Mido Manatsu's hands anymore...】

The tone became grave.

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Why?】

【Kondo Miyuki: The reason is very complicated... In short, the Mido family is very mysterious in Japan, and their background is also terrible; ordinary people won't have any good things happen if they get close... So I extremely don't suggest you go looking for this relic.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: ...Giving up is fine, but can you tell me in detail what the Mido family is like? I want to know the reason; if it's really not something I can touch, I will definitely not approach it.】

【Kondo Miyuki: That's true... Actually, I don't know much about the Mido family, but I only know that the Mido family eats both black and white in Japan, and their power is monstrous behind the scenes. Even in many aspects of life, you can see some traces of the Mido family, such as the Private Moonlight Academy you are attending now, nearby supermarkets, shopping streets, commercial buildings, railways, etc., actually many of them are the Mido family's industries.】

【Kondo Miyuki: Auntie was also very surprised when I knew Manatsu married over, and because of this, I didn't suggest you approach this Mido family. Rather than saying that, even if I wanted to tell you, I don't have Manatsu's current contact information... Can you understand it by saying this?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Understood, since I can't get it, it doesn't matter, it's just a thought.】

【Kondo Miyuki: It's best if you can think so. It's not early now, rest early, good night.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Good night, Auntie Miyuki.】

Exiting the chat interface, Xia Xia Xia Mujun breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't expect that the clue to this last relic would point to such a tricky family.

However, it doesn't matter if he can't get it.

Anyway, his real goal is those "special equipment" that can bring attribute bonuses.

In the case of not being able to determine whether that relic is special, there is indeed no need to touch a behemoth that is clearly very dangerous.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, Xia Xia Xia Mujun refocused his attention on the document, and his fingertips tapped quickly on the screen.

In the quiet room, only the subtle touching sound and his sister's steady breathing remained.

It was almost midnight, and the continuous tapping made him feel the soreness in his finger joints, and sleepiness also came in waves.

He stopped his movements, rubbed his sore eyes, and checked today's results.

The total word count of the document was 110,000 words.

When saving yesterday, it was about 80,000 words.

This means that on the whole day he asked for leave and didn't go to class, he typed out 30,000 words on his phone.

The price was that his fingers felt like they were about to cramp now, and his fingertips were slightly hot.

However, the results were gratifying.

There were only 30,000 words left before the completion of the book.
