In an apartment in Nagano City…
It was already seven o'clock in the evening. Li Xiu leaned on the sofa and answered the phone while Kasumigaoka Shiyu sat beside him. There was a laptop on her black silky legs and she was typing non-stop.
Now, both of them could directly send the follow-up manuscripts to Machida Yuanzi's mailbox. They didn't have to send them to the Undying River Literature building every time.
Shika Kasumigaoka's tapping on the keyboard did not affect Li Xiu's call at all. Machida Yuanzi, who was on the other end, seemed very happy and told him about the publication of their work the next day.
"Oh, I'm finally done!" Li Xiu put away his phone and looked back at his girlfriend who was typing non-stop. He did not disturb her and just watched Shiyu write seriously.
"Eh, you've finished the call?" After an unknown amount of time, Kasumigaoka Shika stopped and turned around to look at him with one hand supporting her cheek.
"That's right, our works will be released at the same time tomorrow!”Li Xiu smiled. He was finally going to earn his first sum of money!
After confirming his relationship with Kasumigaoka Shiyu, Li Xiu had many ideas. At the very least, he had to have enough money to live with them.
Although Kasumigaoka Shiyu was considered a rich woman and her family conditions were not bad, Li Xiu did not intend to live off a woman.
In comparison, Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't care much about this. If Li Xiu had any financial needs, she would do her best without hesitation.
"Tomorrow, the market will decide the results…"
Shika Kasumigaoka frowned slightly when she heard this, but she immediately relaxed. If it was in the past, she would definitely be a little nervous because she could only vent her emotions in this story, hoping to get everyone's approval.
But now, with Li Xiu's existence, Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who had fallen in love, would only take writing as a hobby. She was no longer the same person as Sayuka.
It didn't matter if the results of " Romance Metronome " were good or bad. Shiyu Kasumigaoka decided to become a Buddhist writer.
Of course, it wasn't the kind where he would write at random times and only occasionally produce a scroll that would make him anxious. Instead, he decided to ignore the results and write whatever he wanted to write.
" That's right, I wish us…" Li Xiu said this, and the television program was interrupted and switched to another scene.
" We now interrupt the program with news regarding an unidentified lifeform. In the southwest area of Nagano City, the number 3 that the police named as an unidentified lifeform has appeared. It has begun a massacre and twenty people have been killed. Therefore, residents in the vicinity should try not to go out, close their doors and windows, and it is best to prepare weapons for defense.”
The television screen showed a very noisy scene. Frightened citizens, police officers facing danger, family members who were already lying on the ground crying at the victim's body, and unidentified lifeforms who were grinning hideously...
" Unconfirmed life form?!" Shiyu Kasumigaoka's pupils contracted, and she looked at Li Xiu.""Could it be that he's a monster from Xiu Jun's works like Nan Changye? But the second volume had not even started…It was indeed a coincidence, right?”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu wasn't sure. Although she hadn't started drawing the second volume, Li Xiu had already set up the space and all the Gurangis when he started drawing the first volume.
"Coincidence?" Li Xiu repeated. He looked at Panther Girl Gurangi's appearance on the screen and lowered his head slightly, hiding his gaze with his hair so that Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't see clearly.
"Lord Xiu." Suddenly, Li Xiu felt a pair of soft and warm hands on his shoulders.
"It has nothing to do with Jun Xiu, right? This has nothing to do with Jun Xiu, right? So, Jun Xiu didn't need to go to the scene like before, right?”Shiyu Kasumigaoka's vision gradually blurred as she looked at Li Xiu in shock.
It didn't matter whether the monster's appearance was a coincidence or not, but Li Xiu…was very likely to be the Void Self. This was a warning from a woman's sixth sense.
She didn't want Li Xiu to become a hero like the Yusuke of the manga!
Because heroes would get injured and die! From the moment Li Xiu explained the name 'Kongwo' to her, she was very clear about this!
" Shiyu..." Li Xiu raised his head and looked at her expectant gaze. It was as if she would burst into tears if he denied it. He was at a loss for what to do.
Li Xiu had yet to fully understand the situation in this world, but from the looks of it, Gurangi did exist. Apart from being able to become a void self, he was not sure if there was any other way to deal with Gurangi.
If not…
Although he said that it had nothing to do with him, after witnessing the disaster scene that could be called hell on earth, Li Xiu could not sit idly by and watch the situation happen or even expand.
If they left Gulangi alone tonight, dozens or hundreds of people might die!
This was not a saint, but the human heart could not be made of iron. Anyone would be touched at some point.
"Hey, Shiyu." Li Xiu gritted his teeth and tried his best to become firm.
"…I won't listen, I won't listen! Shall we rest? I still have classes tomorrow!" Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who had already seen the result from Li Xiu's eyes, started to speak incoherently and forced a smile.
"I won't be going back to the neighboring room today. We're already a couple, so tonight…"
"Shiyu!" Li Xiu gritted his teeth and raised his voice to interrupt her. Then, he stretched out his hands and placed them on her face. Then, he leaned his head over and covered her lips with his mouth.
“——？！”
Shiyu Kasumigaoka's mind went blank as her eyes met.
"I…I need to go out and buy that thing. Can you give me a moment? If you become a mother so early, you'll be very troubled, right?”After slowly moving his head away, Li Xiu awkwardly touched the back of his head.
Shika Kasumigaoka's face turned red when she heard this. She lowered her head slightly and said,""Alright…I'll go take a shower first. If you're not back by the time I'm done, I'll go back next door.”
"No problem!" Li Xiu smiled foolishly when he heard that. He gave his right thumb up, turned around, and slammed the door, plunging into the darkness.
Almost at the same time, the smiles on their faces disappeared…
Looking at the empty room, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's face revealed a trace of sadness,""Why can't you just be my hero?”
However, in the next moment, she revealed a self-deprecating and helpless expression."But if that happens, won't Jun Xiu blame himself for the rest of his life? Why…was Kongwo Jun Xiu?”
Li Xiu, who had left the apartment, was like a tiger that had just been released from its cage. The sound of the energy of the spiritual stones gradually rang out. The next moment, the ultra-ancient warrior in red armor landed on an off-road motorcycle by the roadside.
"Although I don't know who it belongs to, I'm sorry. Lend it to me!”As I said that, the moment I touched the handle, a strange power was emitted from the golden control rings on my wrists. It enveloped the entire motorcycle and turned it into a special motorcycle with a black main body and red decorations.
Then, Li Xiu started the motorcycle and rushed to the southwest region.
"If you disturb my time with Shiyu, even Jesus won't be able to stop you. I said it!”
