"It's just something I did on the side," Miyajima Sakura said, blushing slightly. Suddenly remembering something, she turned around. "So you're going to school today, right, junior?"
"Go, why not?" If I keep skipping class, even if Mr. Shirakawa has a good personality, he will get angry. "I really look forward to going to school with my senior in the morning."
"Don't think I'll be swayed by your sweet words," Miyajima Sakura wanted to say, but the thought of going to school with boys made her a little nervous and shy.
After packing the lunchbox, Miyajima Sakura tidied herself up and went out with Mu Xiaoxiao, carrying her shoulder bag. Usually, she was alone, but today she was walking side by side with a boy on the breezy slope.
The kendo senior glanced at the boy next to her.
Thinking back to the storylines I've read in comics, people who go to school together like this are usually couples or childhood sweethearts. Well, my junior and I are a couple, but this guy is having an affair with his mom.
Thinking about it still makes me quite depressed.
"Mu-kun," Miyajima-senpai's long hair fluttered in the wind, a few strands falling onto Mu Xiaoxiao's shoulder. A pleasant fragrance wafted in with the breeze. Thinking of her mother's ordeal, she suppressed her jealousy and turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, saying, "I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
She spoke very seriously.
"Hmm?" Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and stared at her innocent face. "Senior, not again?!"
The girl's serious expression almost vanished, her pretty face flushing red. "It's not the same as last time! This time I'm making a serious request!"
It seems like it's not impossible to do that kind of thing with him. No, no, Mom has already done that with him, I can't just walk into his trap. Otherwise, what kind of thing would it be if I did it with Mom?
“I used to think I was very strong, especially in kendo; I never had a worthy opponent…”
"Dong Xiang?"
"Don't interrupt!" Sakura Miyajima nudged him with her shoulder. "Touka is a good friend, she's different, but right now I feel like I can't do anything, I can't even protect my mother. If it weren't for you, junior..."
"So I want to ask you to help me become stronger!"
Whether it was the changes in her family or the stimulation from the silver pattern, she developed a desire for power. She believed that this mysterious and powerful young man could help her, and her senior's eyes were burning with desire.
Faced with her senior's request, Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time before replying, "Becoming stronger, senior, will be very hard."
"It's okay, I'll persevere!"
“Okay then,” Mu Xiaoxiao agreed. Of course, he wouldn’t give her any special training, but with the secret gadgets, it wouldn’t be difficult to help her become stronger. She smiled and said, “Miyajima-senpai, I will guide you properly.”
"..."
Can you please stop mentioning guidance? Turn your head away.
"Thanks……"
"Xiaoxiao? Sakura?" The two walked to the school gate and were bumped into by Touka Tohsaka. She looked at the two walking side by side and couldn't hide her surprise. "What's going on? Why are you two at school together? Did you join the kendo club?"
“I didn’t join the Kendo Club,” Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her forehead and smiled helplessly, “but something more troublesome happened than the Kendo Club.”
"???"
"Let's go, we'll talk about it later."
When Miyajima Tsubaki woke up, Xiaoxiao and her daughter had already gone to school, leaving her alone in the big house. However, she was no longer as lonely as before.
It seems that Mu Xiaoxiao had already given it to him last night.
"Huh? Miss Jing, you haven't left?" The gentle lady exclaimed in surprise as she came downstairs and saw the red-haired woman sitting on the corridor of the courtyard. This beautiful red-haired woman, her daughter had told Xiaoxiao that she was a monster.
You can't tell at all; she looks exactly like a human woman.
“Mu Xiaoxiao asked me to stay here to protect you, Mrs. Miyajima,” Jing was also sizing up the woman. With her voluptuous figure and radiant face, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that she was one of her own. She was truly a bewitching beauty.
It seems that the nourishing effects of Mu Xiaoxiao's essence have already begun to take effect on her.
Thinking about it, the succubus smiled kindly. Of course she was happy, thanks to her, she had a good meal last night. "Although my power is not very strong, I can still protect your safety."
"I don't have anywhere to go, Mrs. Miyajima. Is it alright for me to stay here?"
“Of course,” Miyajima Tsubaki naturally wouldn’t refuse. She knelt down beside Shizuka and asked with some curiosity, “Miss Shizuka, is your relationship with Koko also… like that?”
“If only that were the case. I’m just his prisoner now,” Shizuka sighed. “I envy you, Mrs. Miyajima.”
“A prisoner? But Miss Jing doesn’t seem to hold any resentment towards him at all.”
“After all, I also benefited, and Mu Jun has what I want,” she licked her lips, “so I’m completely under his control.”
She had received a lot of Mu Xiaoxiao's essence power last night, so of course she wouldn't hold a grudge. She even wanted to take things a step further and joke around. Now, even if Mu Xiaoxiao chased her away, she wouldn't leave. She would cling to him and stay by his side no matter what.
So Jing was genuinely envious of her. "Mrs. Miyajima must have had a very comfortable night. She looked so radiant after being pampered by Mu-kun."
"Huh? No, no, we just slept together..."
Jing turned to look at her with a half-smile, "Mrs. Miyajima, don't forget you still have my silver mark on you. I know perfectly well whether you did it or not."
Aunt Miyajima's face stiffened; only then did she remember the silver markings on her body. "This is truly..."
Doesn't that mean I have no secrets at all? But she's just a little girl, so it should be okay, right?
"Miss Jing, I heard Xiao Xiao say that you are a succubus. Are there many monsters in our world?"
"There probably aren't many. I used to live deep in the mountains and forests. After coming to the city, I haven't seen many monsters. Maybe Mu Jun knows more about them. I don't know much about the specifics."
"I'm a little curious about what your monster appearance looks like. May I see it?"
"Just don't get scared."
The two chatted and drank tea, and their relationship grew better and better.
Chapter 114 The Fallen Noble Lady
I went to school with Mu Xiaoxiao this morning and bumped into Touka Tohsaka. This made Miyajima-senpai a little embarrassed. Of course, it wasn't because she was too close to Touka's boyfriend. After all, it was her mother who was competing with her for the man, so what did it have to do with me?
She just didn't know how to face her longtime friend, and Sakura Miyajima felt very guilty.
The senior student remained silent the entire way, listening to Tohsaka Touka and Mu-kun chatting and joking, exchanging ambiguous sweet nothings and making intimate gestures. She simply followed behind in silence until Tohsaka Touka realized something and turned to look at her.
"Sakura, what's wrong with you today?" Noticing that her friend's mood was off, Tohsaka-senpai walked over to her and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Sakura Miyajima looked uneasy and lowered her head. "Touka, I'm sorry. It was actually my father who did what happened to the Tohsaka family."
Hearing her friend say this, Touka Tohsaka paused for a moment, then chuckled, "So that's why. Your father is your father, he has nothing to do with you, does he?"
"That scumbag doesn't deserve to be my father!" Sakura Miyajima said angrily, raising her head. "Touka, so you knew all along?"
“How could I not know? My family found out a long time ago,” Touka Tohsaka shook her head. “But even so, they didn’t stop me from seeing you. Sakura, this matter has nothing to do with you. You didn’t even know about it before, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”
Not only did she not know, but I didn't know either. Dong Xiang, you didn't tell me either, Mu Xiaoxiao said blankly from the side.
"Even so..."
“Alright, this won’t affect our friendship, especially since you told me the truth on your own initiative,” Touka Tohsaka said, taking her hand. “Sakura, I’m so touched.”
“Thank you, Sakura,” Miyajima Sakura sighed. “If it weren’t for Mom, I wouldn’t have been able to see his true colors.”
If he hadn't gone too far and treated her mother that way, Sakura Miyajima would have been in an even more difficult position, caught between her father and her best friend. Now, she doesn't have to be in that predicament anymore; she no longer considers that scumbag her father.
Of course, I wouldn't consider Mu Xiaoxiao my father either! Thinking this, I couldn't help but glare at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?
He was a little confused.
"Does this have anything to do with Aunt Miyajima?" Touka Tohsaka asked, puzzled.
The senior student didn't hide anything and told her everything, leaving Touka Tohsaka speechless with shock. "How could someone do such a thing? How can there be such disgusting scum?"
"Dong Xiang, have you forgotten Xiao's father?" Mu Xiaoxiao reminded her.
"Scumbags and perverts like this should all be wiped out!" She glanced cautiously at her friend, and seeing that Sakura was in a heavy mood, she quickly changed the subject, "So, Xiaoxiao, you didn't come yesterday because you were with Aunt Miyajima?"
She gave Mu Xiaoxiao's arm a meaningful squeeze. "Aunt Miyajima is a very beautiful woman, with a gentle personality. She's a perfect woman. You must be tempted, right?"
“I was saving people from dire straits. Isn’t that how you all went through it?” Mu Xiaoxiao pinched her face and rubbed it.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao is a partner of justice—"
Tohsaka Touka said indulgently, "But I've also heard of that Boyman's reputation. He's quite an arrogant and domineering guy, and he wields considerable power..."
She trusted her boyfriend a lot, but girls always worry, so she thought, "Should I help you too?"
“Sure,” Mu Xiaoxiao knew that Dongxiang and the others didn’t want to be protected by her all the time, and that they were also growing stronger, so she naturally wouldn’t refuse. “It just so happens that Miyajima-senpai wants to become stronger, and Dongxiang, you can come along too. But I might not have time today, as I have to meet a down-on-her-luck noble lady this afternoon.”
"???"
A fallen heiress? Who is this person?
The down-on-her-luck young lady that Mu Xiaoxiao mentioned—Liuli Chuanchun—is currently working.
On a sweltering day, she was dressed in a thick mascot costume, attracting tourists, especially children, in the amusement park. She was constantly busy with balloons and gifts, and it was hard to believe that she was once a noble lady.
They are indeed in dire straits.
The dramatic changes in her family dealt a heavy blow to this former aristocratic young lady, causing her to close herself off and change a lot. In order to survive, she had to find ways to work.
Although Morita Hospital is also family property, judging from its current state, it is on the verge of collapse.
All of this was Boiman's doing. Rurikawa Tsubaki knew he did it on purpose. That man wanted to make her submit and obediently crawl to him.
"Well done, Rurikawa. Here's your pay for today." Having finally finished her work, Rurikawa Tsubaki returned to the break room and somewhat laboriously removed her hood, exhaled, and accepted the yen handed to her by the other party.
"Thank you, manager. Why is there an extra 5,000 yuan?"
“Even men don’t want to do this job, Liulichuan, you actually managed to stick with it, consider this a reward for you,” the female shop manager said with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. “Liulichuan, you must be short of money, right? This is what you deserve.”
Rurikawa Tsubaki was very grateful. "Thank you, manager."
She bowed deeply and earnestly.
Although the job was tough, Rurikawa Tsubaki had no intention of changing it. In fact, she had tried many things before, such as working at a convenience store and handing out flyers, but she always encountered men who had ill intentions towards her.
She couldn't stand even just looking at him, which is why she changed partners so frequently.
She cherishes having met such a wonderful store manager.
"Beauty, huh?" If it were a powerful person, someone who could help her take revenge, someone who could save the Rurikawa family, then she wouldn't hesitate to use her body to get help. But clearly, she hadn't met such a person.
Those sleazy men outside obviously couldn't do it.
Wait, it seems like I've encountered something.
Ding dong————
The girl was wandering aimlessly down the street when he sent her a message. Just as she was thinking of Mu Xiaoxiao, he sent her a message.
Mu Xiaoxiao: [(Address), do you have time? If you do, let's meet here.]
Rurikawa Tsubaki: [I'm coming right now]
Even now, Tsubaki Rurikawa still remembers the scene where he suppressed the monster girl, as well as the research on him in the hospital, especially what Amamiya-nee said, that Mu Xiaoxiao is the hope for the revival of the Rurikawa family.
She hadn't thought much of it back then, but now, the down-on-her-luck young lady dragged her tired body and legs toward the address Mu Xiaoxiao had sent her.
She made up her mind to go see this person.
Tsubaki Rurikawa, having made a certain decision in her heart, did not notice the exclamation mark above her head. It was a mark that only special beings, special heroines, could be selected by the system.
The meeting place was arranged in a private room of a coffee shop, with only Mu Xiaoxiao there. Considering that the matter of Rurikawa Tsubaki was quite important and sensitive for her, Mu Xiaoxiao did not let her senior and Touka come.
Instead, we met here alone.
When Tsubaki Rurikawa arrived, she saw the boy she had met once before sitting on the sofa, with lots of food on the table: cookies, fruit platters, desserts, coffee, and so on.
It smells fragrant.
Gu————
Before she could say a word, her stomach made an impolite noise. Rurikawa Tsubaki, who had been able to maintain a calm expression, instantly lost it, and awkwardly lowered her head, wishing she could punch her own stomach.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost burst out laughing. "I'm hungry too, let's eat together, no rush."
"Ah."
“Last time I was in a rush to catch Jing, so I didn’t ask you much. This time let’s have a proper chat while we eat,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, resting her chin on her hand and a smile playing on her lips. “I’m telling you, you’re not starving every day, are you? How could a noble lady like you have fallen to this state?”
The girl looked rather thin, with a pale, malnourished face.
That's a bit tragic.
"Thank you for knowing my background?" Rurikawa Tsubaki asked in surprise.
"heard about it."
Rurikawa Tsubaki was indeed hungry. She ate the Eggs Benedict somewhat embarrassedly. "Being a noble lady is a thing of the past. I'm just an ordinary girl now. Bringing up those things will only cause you trouble."
