Tokyo nights are far livelier than its days.
The brightly lit streets and alleys were bustling with people, and various sounds intertwined into a vibrant symphony.
The night market's dazzling array of snacks emitted an alluring aroma, and the neon lights of shop signs flickered incessantly, decorating the entire city like a dream.
Lu Ping'an, carrying several shopping bags, came out of Uniqlo, then went to the supermarket with Baihe Ling and Jashin-chan to buy some daily necessities.
Since he would be living here next, a change of clothes and daily necessities were essential.
After shopping, they prepared to go home.
On the way, Baihe Ling kindly reminded him:
"Lu Jun, don't go into deserted alleys. Try to stay in crowded places, and it's best if I or Jashin-chan accompany you when you go out. Especially at night, try not to go out if you can avoid it."
"Why? Are you afraid I'll be abducted?" Lu Ping'an joked in reply.
"No, I'm afraid Lu Jun will be eaten."
"?"
"Hmph, hmph, if you, this traitor, encounter a Ghoul, you'll be eaten until there's nothing left but dregs."
Jashin-chan crossed her arms and laughed maliciously.
"Ghoul?"
Lu Ping'an was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, looking utterly bewildered.
What Ghoul? Is it the one I know? Did I get the channels mixed up?
Yurihana Hyakuryo looked at Lu Ping'an in surprise and explained, "Ghouls are monsters that look just like humans but can only survive by devouring human flesh and blood… Does Lu Jun's world not have them?"
"Absolutely not!" Lu Ping'an waved his hand. He had already realized this was a comprehensive anime world, not just 'Jashin-chan Dropkick'. Good heavens! The danger level was rising in a straight line!
However, Lu Ping'an wasn't too flustered.
He was currently being covered by Baihe Ling, and he could draw a keyword once a week. If he happened to draw a powerful combat-type ability keyword, he might be able to directly eliminate the hidden dangers brought by Ghouls.
To take a step back, if he were targeted by a Ghoul, didn't he still have his Hikarimono Cuisine? Perhaps he could conquer the opponent's body and mind with Hikarimono Cuisine to save his life!
As his thoughts churned, Lu Ping'an complained:
"Your world is really dangerous! In our world, humans stand at the top of the food chain, and life is only about technology; there are no unscientific creatures like Ghouls or demons at all."
"Then your world must be very peaceful?" Baihe Ling casually responded.
"Well, how should I put it? Where there are people, there are rivalries, and the world is never short of ambitious individuals… But our country is very peaceful," Lu Ping'an said with a smile.
As a Chinese person, he was very proud and very lucky.
Of course, Lu Ping'an understood that the peace in his country was because of the ancestors and heroes who shed their blood and sacrificed themselves outside—peace has always been fought for!
"Eh?"
...
When they returned home, it was past eight o'clock.
Yurihana Hyakuryo went directly to the bedroom. Lu Ping'an put down his shopping bags, hesitating whether to follow her, when Yurihana Hyakuryo already brought a quilt from the bedroom and placed it in the living room, saying:
"Lu Jun, you'll have to make do with sleeping on the floor here for now."
"Okay… I'm already very grateful that you're taking me in," Lu Ping'an quickly stepped forward.
It was Jashin-chan who summoned him, so Yurihana Hyakuryo didn't need to be responsible for him at all.
Lu Ping'an was actually quite grateful to her.
Yurihana Hyakuryo didn't take credit, responding with a sound, then handed him a tablet computer and charger, saying:
"If there's anything you want to know, just look it up online. Our worlds seem quite different."
"Mm, that's a big help!"
Lu Ping'an happily took the tablet computer and charger. He just wanted to understand this world, and the fastest way to do so was naturally through the internet.
"Akioda Madai! That's my tablet computer!"
Jashin-chan, standing by, was a bit displeased. She raised her hand to snatch the tablet computer.
Yurihana Hyakuryo slapped her hand with a 'pa' sound:
"What's yours? I bought it! Will you die if you don't play for two days?!"
Yurihana Hyakuryo knew very well that with Lu Ping'an's cooking skills, it wouldn't be long before he could buy his own phone and computer. Once his identification documents were processed, he would likely move out…
"Hiss! That hurts!"
Jashin-chan gasped, sucking in a breath of cold air. She pulled back her hand, blowing on her swollen hand, and unhappily said, "So love disappears, right? Out with the old, in with the new! I never thought that mere Baihe Ling would… Ouch!"
"…" Lu Ping'an's mouth twitched as he watched Jashin-chan being pressed to the floor and rubbed.
However, he didn't find it noisy or think Baihe Ling was violent. Instead, there was a strange sense of warmth.
'I probably have issues too!'
Muttering to himself, Lu Ping'an sat down on the tatami mat nearby and, amidst their playful bickering, used the tablet computer to learn about this world.
Time passed unknowingly.
Around nine o'clock, Yurihana Hyakuryo came out of the bedroom holding pajamas, bringing good news.
"Lu Jun, I just spoke with my relatives. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to get the food truck."
"Okay, thank you," Lu Ping'an looked up and casually thanked her.
Yurihana Hyakuryo responded as if it didn't matter, then said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Then she took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Lu Ping'an suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be living with a Japanese girl, and she was a two-dimensional character.
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated!
Inside the bathroom, Yurihana Hyakuryo, undressing by the bathroom door, was far from as calm as she appeared on the surface.
She suddenly realized that she was living with a man!
And she was currently undressing in the bathroom…
A strange emotion spread through her heart!
As for Jashin-chan, she was currently in the bedroom, wondering whether to use force to conquer Lu Ping'an tomorrow.
This traitor was very likely to complain afterward; he was truly capable of such a thing and didn't even care about being shameful!
Jashin-chan was conflicted!
After all, if she was complained about, she would be miserable.
Thinking about Baihe Ling's methods, she couldn't help but shiver!
"Tsk!"
"Damn traitor!"
