"That’s right! Hungry, craving satisfaction!"
A white fluffy ball popped out of nowhere, jumped onto Zhu Haomiao’s shoulder, and desperately shoved a sticky soft-bodied creature into his mouth.
"Shuishui, don’t be afraid, Xuxu will find something for you~"
Staring at the half-eaten, still twitching and wriggling, suspected sea cucumber, Zhu Haomiao jerked his neck back with all his might.
"No, no, you eat it yourself!"
Having finally calmed down the off-the-charts responsible pet, Zhu Haomiao looked at Abe Waka with indescribable complexity.
"Didn’t you feed her enough at noon?"
Bringing up the topic, Abe Waka was even more exasperated.
"You didn’t tell me she could gobble up the food for over a thousand people in one go!!"
Beside them, Yazaki Yu curiously observed the talking magical creature, watching it devour the soft-bodied creature, juices flowing like a squirrel.
Noticing Yazaki Yu’s gaze, Diao Chan instinctively hid the food in her hand to the other side of her body, staring at him warily.
This little thing is quite protective of its food...
Yazaki Yu chuckled dryly but found it increasingly adorable, finally unable to resist his affection, took out a cookie from his pocket.
With a couple of bites, Diao Chan stuffed the soft-bodied creature into her mouth, her big eyes blinking pitifully at the cookie in Yazaki Yu’s hand.
Seeing her wanting yet hesitant demeanor, Yazaki Yu felt his heart melting, smiling foolishly as he handed the cookie to her.
Taking a bite of the sweet cookie, Diao Chan revealed crescent moon eyes of happiness and actively stuck her head up.
"You’re a good person, Xuxu lets you pet."
Yazaki Yu felt honored, carefully stroking the snow-white fur.
On the other side, Zhu Haomiao and the group stopped arguing, glanced at the boy happily petting Diao Chan, and simultaneously pursed their lips.
Abe Waka: "Yazaki-kun, have all those injured been sent to the infirmary?"
Snapping out of it, Yazaki Yu quickly nodded.
"They’ve all been sent to the infirmary, and I’ve contacted the hospital. At first glance, it’s only superficial injuries, nothing life-threatening."
Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao gave a thumbs up, his forest-white teeth flashing dazzlingly under the lights.
"Don’t worry, they’ll survive."
Hearing these words, Abe Waka wearily glared at him, picked up Diao Chan, and turned to leave.
"Let’s go, Diao Chan, we’re going home!"
The two remaining boys looked at each other and hurriedly chased after her.
Walking along, Yazaki Yu whispered to Zhu Haomiao, "Zhu Jun, that Otsuka Shouta’s family is in the yakuza, have you heard of the Black Dragon Association?"
"Never heard of it, why?"
"Um, it’s a pretty big yakuza organization in the country, with some unique people inside. If they decide to give you trouble next..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes suddenly glinted brightly.
"Such a good thing?!"
Beat the younger ones, and the older ones come; an endless cycle for all eternity!
I, Little Zhuzhu, am in luck!
To actually enjoy such a protagonist’s treatment!
However, before Zhu Haomiao could finish celebrating, Yazaki Yu pleaded.
"Please be magnanimous, don’t implicate too many people. Many of them are just ordinary people forced by circumstances..."
Feeling Yazaki Yu’s genuine kindness, Zhu Haomiao sighed and nodded.
As expected of the Japanese protagonist, always playing the nice guy, they’re kind to everyone!
He’s really, I’m moved to tears!
"Don’t worry, I’m not like Diao Chan, picking up and eating whatever I find on the road..."
The adorable creature in Abe Waka’s arms suddenly perked up, glaring fiercely at her owner.
Even though Xuxu didn’t understand, Xuxu could tell it wasn’t something nice...
Not caring about the little one’s unhappy glare, Zhu Haomiao gently reassured Yazaki Yu.
"As long as ordinary folks don’t push their luck, I wouldn’t bother with them."
"Of course, those with supernatural powers are another story, so..."
Patting Yazaki Yu’s shoulder, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes swirled with a creepy greed and hunger as he whispered eerily.
"Are there many unique people in the Black Dragon Association? How do they taste?"
"Uh... I mean, how’s their strength?"
Did you just mention taste?!
Clearly sensing the unconscious hungry aura of a top predator, even if not directed at them, Abe Waka and the others felt goosebumps rising all over.
With a shiver, Abe Waka quickly vowed.
"Don’t do anything rash, I’ll pressure the Black Dragon Association. With the Abe family’s deterrence, they wouldn’t dare offend you again!"
Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao glared at her with dissatisfaction.
You little girl, don’t repay me with vengeance!
Won’t they come for a sliding tackle?
Where will I exploit the greed coins?
Where will I scavenge for source quality?
Where’s the promised protagonist treatment? Are you demoting me to sidekick?!
Do you want to take all the imperial army’s benefits as kickbacks?!
Under Zhu Haomiao’s pressure, Abe Waka withstood and maintained eye contact with him stubbornly.
Fully aware of her [Servant]’s terror, Abe Waka refused to let him have any chance to display cruelty and violence.
Such a price is not something the Black Dragon Association, or even all of Tokyo City, or the entire country can bear!
Seeing the blend of defiance and a plea in the little girl’s eyes, Zhu Haomiao blinked, ultimately having to look away helplessly.
"Alright, I’ll give you some face."
Hearing this, Abe Waka felt as if granted amnesty, unable to resist a brilliant smile.
On the other side, Zhu Haomiao pursed his lips, picked up Diao Chan from her embrace, and tousled her fur with a heavy heart.
No automatic sliding tackle warriors, only left to venture out for food!
Once Wilson’s network is set up, I’ll sweep this city’s sins clean!
Behind the black-clad boy, Abe Waka and the others exchanged glances, secretly letting out a breath of relief.
"It seems Zhu Jun isn’t entirely unreasonable; sometimes he seems even easier to talk to than the Heavenly Light."
Hearing Yazaki Yu’s somewhat naive words, Abe Waka glanced at the receding figure and whispered.
"You don’t have the contract’s sense, so you don’t know how sinister and terrifying the aura he occasionally emits is!"
"On the surface, he’s indeed easy-going, even approachable."
"But only I can occasionally sense the tumultuous, indescribable darkness within him!"
"Yes, the subconscious emanation of divine light, a true reflection of his heart!"
Speaking of this, Abe Waka took a deep breath in trepidation and spoke slowly.
"I know the sunshine and warmth are just his facade; that indescribable darkness is his essence. Once he reveals his true nature, the entire city might turn into a purgatory."
