Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 236

All this information told Huaiyin that she was most likely in a warehouse, not the stadium where she had fainted.

She slowly turned around and found herself in a warm embrace, exuding a familiar scent.

Without hesitation, Huaiyin arched forward and snuggled into Doutang's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist, her eyes dripping with tears onto Doutang's arm that was serving as her pillow.

Dou Tang was also awakened by her movements. He didn't say a word, but tightened his right hand, which was used as a pillow for Huaiyin, and hugged her even tighter. He rested his chin on Huaiyin's head and gently stroked her hair.

"call--"

Dou Tang let out a long breath. Huai Yin could feel that his whole body suddenly relaxed, and the tension from before disappeared completely. This was the kind of relaxation he only showed when he was facing Huai Yin.

It's like suddenly relieving all the anxiety of being on the edge of a cliff.

As Huaiyin was held in his arms and responded to him, she felt herself starting to feel drowsy again.

Dou Tang stroked her hair and said slowly, "Did you sleep well?"

"Mmm." Huaiyin closed her eyes and rubbed her face against Doutang's chest.

"Why did you come here?" Dou Tang continued to ask.

"Because I want to become stronger, whether in terms of knowledge or strength."

Dou Tang remained silent for a long while before asking, "Why?"

"Isn't it good to simply... rely on me?"

Upon hearing this, Huaiyin was startled and, somewhat confused, left the embrace to look at Doutang.

Dou Tang lay on his side on the ground, tear tracks from his eyes extending to the pillow, but his eyes were clear and resolute as he said once more, "Isn't it good to rely solely on me?"

This is different from what Dou Tang said before.

In the past, Dou Tang always told her to become stronger, to become someone who could defeat Dou Tang, and to become someone who could live alone in the world.

Because Huaiyin cannot control her crown, nor can she separate it like the monster Mo Ran. In fact, so far only the monster Mo Ran has managed to do so.

In this situation, as the game of Crown progressed, it eventually came to the point where only two people remained...

This was also Dou Tang's long-held plan: to make Huai Yin stronger and more independent, so that she could live on with a smile even if he left this world.

But what he said at this moment was different from everything before.

Dou Tang reached out and gently stroked Huai Yin's face, pinched it, and forced a smile, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

"To be honest... I never thought I would say something like that."

"Mikazuki told me about you, so I rushed back to see..."

It was you who arrived, unconscious.

Dou Tang swallowed hard, and Huai Yin could clearly see the movement in his throat, as well as his unease and nervousness.

"At that moment, I didn't know... what expression to wear when I saw you awake. I tried many methods, but your soul seemed to be... in a state of inertia, and I couldn't wake you up."

"All I can do is... stay with you with simple hope."

Huaiyin reached out and covered the large hand that was stroking her face, and asked, "Brother, how long have I been asleep?"

"...This is already good news for the whole day."

“I thought you would sleep longer, or even… or even…”

Dou Tang took a deep breath and suddenly felt that he couldn't continue speaking. He thought he was used to separation and tragedy, but when it came to his own situation, he still felt a little...unable to control himself.

Dou Tang is now in a state of unprecedented disarray.

Huaiyin smiled and said, "Brother, I'm fine."

"Hmm..." Dou Tang nodded, but he still looked worried. "Hmm... Hmm."

Huaiyin leaned closer, a mischievous smile on her face, and asked, "So, why did you say something like that, brother?"

"Why would you say that I should rely solely on you?"

You know perfectly well, don't you...?

Dou Tang suddenly felt a little helpless; the smile in Huai Yin's eyes was almost overflowing.

I don't remember raising you to be such a wicked person! Who taught you this? Was it Ryūzō? It really was that guy, wasn't it? Or was it Kōzaki Ringo? I'm going to go beat up Kōzaki Ryūyō right now, that idiot who can't even raise his own daughter properly...

Dou Tang smiled awkwardly, then turned away, avoiding Huai Yin's gaze.

Huaiyin nestled in his arms, continuing to look up at him.

After a long silence, Dou Tang couldn't hold back any longer and looked at her again, saying, "...How about we pretend I didn't say anything?"

Huaiyin reached out and pressed her hand against his lips, grinning as she said, word by word, "No, okay, oh."

Dou Tang took a step back and sighed, "Alright..."

"I once thought I could harden my heart and ignore the setbacks you encountered on your path to becoming stronger, because they were necessary for becoming stronger. If I interfered too much, then your so-called becoming stronger would be meaningless."

"But now I find it hard to bear the losses that come with when you encounter setbacks, just like this time."

He slowly approached Huaiyin, who suddenly panicked and pushed him back by pressing her hand against his lips.

But Dou Tang did not waver in the slightest, and the distance between the two of them closed even further, knowing that they only had each other's faces in their eyes.

"I can't imagine how I would face you if you were to fall into a deep sleep and never wake up, or how I would end all of this."

"What I can't accept is what I would become if you were killed by evil spirits or died from some other event one day?"

Huaiyin knew the answer to this question well, because she had just witnessed it.

Perhaps, that dream just now wasn't just Dou Tang's memory of the past, but also his worry about what if Huai Yin never woke up again.

Fortunately, that worry dissipated.

But how can I heal his past memories?

Dou Tang's breathing was somewhat erratic. He tried his best to compose himself and said, "So, I think, perhaps, we should try... to send you away? Or to a safe, absolutely safe place, until I've finished everything, and then... you..."

Huaiyin pressed her finger to his mouth and said softly, "Don't say that, brother. We made a promise to find a way that will ensure neither of us dies."

Dou Tang swallowed again and gently squeezed out a "hmm" from his nose.

Chapter 60 She went for it! She broke through his defenses!

Huaiyin then smiled and continued, "Brother, as for the rest... Look, I've become stronger, shouldn't you be happy for me?"

Dou Tang felt a mix of emotions, but he still nodded subconsciously.

But he immediately realized something was wrong, and just as he was about to speak, Huaiyin abruptly cut him off.

Use your palm.

Huaiyin's breathing was a little rapid, and her breath hit Dou Tang's face in waves. There was no strange smell, but it had a... ambiguous feel to it.

Dou Tang suddenly realized that neither Huaiyin nor he had been able to simply face each other since what happened in Kamo River City.

From being exploited by one side destined for destruction, to sharing their mutual dependence, and now, it seems that some unknown emotions are spreading between them.

Huaiyin's face flushed slightly as she moved closer to Doutang, their lips separated only by Huaiyin's delicate little hand.

"Close your eyes, brother."

Huaiyin's breathy voice could even pass through the gap between his palms and reach Doutang's lips.

Dou Tang obediently closed his eyes, but his eyelids kept trembling.

He could hear the sounds of Huaiyin moving around, and he could feel that soft body getting closer and closer to him, with a pleasant scent of a young girl filling his nostrils.

Then, I heard warm, moist breath and words in my ear.

"I won't give up, brother."

"I can't let you bear all of this alone. I want to prove that you and I depend on each other."

A warm feeling welled up in Dou Tang's heart.

So why did you tell me to close my eyes?

To be honest, at that moment, Dou Tang really thought that his family ties had deteriorated into a kind of relationship that was easy to break.

But just as he relaxed a little, Huaiyin moved her hand away.

Something warm and soft gently brushed against the corner of my mouth.

Huaiyin spoke again, but this time, her lips were pressed against Dou Tang's lips. Every syllable she uttered, every word she spoke, made Dou Tang feel those two soft, rosy lips rubbing against the corner of his mouth.

This wasn't a kiss, but it seemed more innocent, more intimate, and more ambiguously forbidden than a kiss.

Her words further heightened the atmosphere.

"I won't be as cowardly as I used to be."

"I won't be afraid to fight for it, I won't have any unrealistic expectations, I won't... hide my feelings anymore, do you hear me?"

“Ren, Dou, Tang”.

After saying that, Huaiyin suddenly pressed her lips to Doutang's lips.

Shy as she was, even with Dou Tang's eyes covered and having made up her mind, this was all she dared to do for now.

When Dou Tang finally snapped out of his shock, Huai Yin had already burrowed under the covers and wouldn't come out no matter how much he pulled. Dou Tang, still in a daze, didn't even know how he'd gotten out of the room or how he'd ended up sitting outside the warehouse.

Looking at Dou Tang, who was standing at the door gazing at the street, Xue Qing scratched her face, looked at the others, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

In the living room of the warehouse, besides the original three knights, there were all the half-demons except for Qiu Jin.

Old Wolf was playing cards with Little Qin and A Tian when he heard this. He looked up, laughed, and said, "Do you even need to ask? I could tell at a glance that guy was a fool. He must have been outmaneuvered!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kotaro suddenly pushed open the door to the practice room, and walked out shirtless and covered in sweat, followed by Kenny, who was also covered in sweat.

"Counterattack? What counterattack?" Kotaro scratched his head, completely confused.

The old wolf burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, there's an even dumber one here!"

"Damn it, what are you talking about?!" Enraged by the old wolf's sudden mockery, Kotaro leaped towards the table behind the sofa.

"Ha! Someone's getting impatient, but I won't say who!" Old Wolf chuckled as he stood up, scrambled his pile of cards that he was about to lose, rolled over the table, and ran towards the door.

Kenny wiped the sweat from his face, sat down at the table, took a sip of barley tea, picked up Old Wolf's cards, seemingly intending to continue playing, but then showed a disgusted expression and said, "Let's start over, let's start over."

He rubbed his yellow hair, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Hey, right, where are Ah Shuang and Ah Ji?"

"They went to the internet cafe. Ah Ji said he wanted to draw, while Ah Shuang said he wanted to..." Ah Tian sucked on his cards and pouted, "play Kantai Collection and said he wanted to make the world's number one strategy guide."

"Wow!" Xiao Qin's eyes lit up. "That's really great! In that case, how about we make a travel guide too?"

The three of them looked at each other, nodded, threw down their cards, and started discussing making money by creating videos and becoming broadcasters.

Mikazuki, who was lying on the sofa reading a book, looked at the three of them with some disdain.

Then, she got up, looked at Xueqing who seemed to be thinking about something by the window, and shook her head helplessly.

Ah, everyone in this room is either an idiot or a moron.

She slowly walked out of the house and came to the warehouse.

There were few people in the alley outside the warehouse. The walls of other warehouses were opposite, but it didn't affect the lighting. It was morning, and the sun was shining brightly.

She stretched, glanced to the side, and was immediately speechless.

Dou Tang was sitting on a small stool, staring blankly into the distance, as if he had prematurely entered a state of dementia.

“Hey, Dou Tang,” she called out.

Dou Tang continued to stare at the opposite wall, as if it were a mesmerizing world-famous painting.

"Hey!" Mikazuki waved his hand in front of Toudou.

"Huh?" Dou Tang suddenly came to his senses, blinked hard, and turned to look at Mikazuki.

Mikazuki asked with a strange expression, "What's wrong with you? Huaiyin is awake, right? Then why are you like this?"

Dou Tang stammered and didn't say anything.

Mikazuki squatted down next to him, put her hand on Toudou's shoulder like a female gang leader on the street, and sneered, "Hey—eh? Seems like there's a story behind this?"

Dou Tang quickly shook his head: "No, no, nothing at all."

Mikazuki raised an eyebrow, patted his shoulder forcefully, and said, "Alright, I won't pry too much into your lives. What are you planning to eat for lunch? I can go buy it."

"...I'll just have a beef rice bowl. Oh, and bring me a chicken and egg rice bowl for Huaiyin, with an extra soft-boiled egg, and some chopped green onions..."

Mikazuki was speechless, then sneered, "Heh, siscon."
