Only I Have the Law: Tokyo Fantasy Daily Life

Page 107

Seeing this, Hoshino Saori laughed triumphantly, "Haha! Aze, did you see that? This is the power of our strong bond!"

"It seems it's time to show you the power of an adult."

Qingze remained calm, his waist muscles instantly tensing.

Yatohime's hand touched his waist, but the expected ticklish dodge did not occur.

To her surprise, the muscles her fingers touched were as hard as steel, and she couldn't scratch them at all.

Unconvinced, Yatohime put in even more effort, but it was all in vain.

Just as she was trying to break through the defenses, the sound effect of "KO" came from the screen.

Saori Hoshino's Iori Yagami has been ruthlessly defeated.

"Waaaaah... I got killed..."

Hoshino Saori stared at the grayed-out screen, on the verge of tears, and cried out, "Azawa, how could you be so cruel!"

"That's the cruelty of competition."

Qingze said in a serious tone, while slapping away Yatohime's hand that was still "trying" on his waist, "Don't waste your energy, with your strength you can't break my defense."

"cut."

Yato-hime pursed her lips and withdrew her hands.

Saori Hoshino's frustration came and went quickly, instantly replaced by renewed fighting spirit as she said, "Hmph! Fighting games don't count!"

Next, let's play racing! Let's settle this in this arena!

……

After a long time, the three of them had tried almost all the popular games in the arcade, such as racing, shooting, and VR experiences.

Saori Hoshino remained enthusiastic and wanted to continue playing.

Qingze took out his phone and checked the time; it was already 5 p.m.

He spoke up to remind us, "It's getting late, let's call it a day, we should go back to school."

"Huh? Why do we have to go back to school?"

Saori Hoshino looked completely bewildered.

Qingze pointed at her arm with annoyance and said, "If you don't wash off all these temporary tattoos on your arm, you're going to go home and let your father see them."

He immediately called the school to complain, and I guess he'll have to pack his bags and find a new job.

He knew very well that Hoshino Saori's father had never really approved of his daughter getting too close to Yato-hime.

If I were to see my precious daughter come home with this "yakuza heiress" look again, I might not say it out loud, but I'd probably be thinking about Aozawa and Tsukishima Chizuru countless times in my heart.

Hoshino Saori looked down at her arm covered in vibrant patterns. Though somewhat reluctant, she nodded helplessly and said, "Alright..."

The three of them left the noisy arcade together.

The sky outside was still bright, but the sunlight had softened, and the air carried the unique coolness of evening.

Passing by a bubble tea shop, Qingze casually bought three cups of bubble tea, two for Hoshino Saori and Yatohime.

Hoshino Saori took a big gulp of the icy cold milk tea, then suddenly turned around and handed her cup to Aoze, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Aoze, this milk tea tastes amazing!"

Would you like to try some?

Qingze instinctively wanted to refuse.

Before he could even speak, Hoshino Saori burst out laughing, nudged his arm with her elbow, and said smugly, "Haha, Aze, you didn't actually take it seriously, did you?"

Hmph, you're so easy to fool~

After saying that, she happily withdrew her hand and took another big sip of milk tea. The sweet taste made her eyes crinkle into crescent moons, as if the sweetness had spread from the tip of her tongue to her entire face.

Qingze raised his hand and flicked her smooth forehead lightly.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Hoshino Saori immediately covered her forehead and glared at him resentfully with her big, watery eyes.

Qingze said expressionlessly, "This is punishment for your disrespect."

Saori Hoshino pouted, looking aggrieved, but the silence didn't last long.

She suddenly sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of melancholy that was quite out of character for her usually carefree personality, and asked softly, "Aze, tell me, what exactly is love?"

The topic suddenly jumped to this point, but Qingze was not surprised at all.

Saori Hoshino's thinking is naturally so unconventional; one second she might be discussing philosophy, and the next she might be talking about aliens. She always finds it hard to stop talking in front of people she knows well.

But in front of strangers, she can remain silent for an hour without uttering a single word, as quiet as a statue.

Qingze thought about her question carefully before answering, "I don't know."

"Huh? Aze, aren't you dating the principal? How come you didn't know?"

Saori Hoshino was very surprised.

"The definition of love is different for everyone," Qingze gave a rather universal answer. "So you probably won't truly understand this question until you experience love yourself in the future."

Hearing him say that, a hint of longing appeared on Hoshino Saori's face, but then she said with some disappointment, "Love... it feels so far away from me."

"After all, we went to an all-girls school."

Yatohime pointed out the most crucial real-world obstacle from the side.

"Sigh, you're right..."

Saori Hoshino sighed.

In an all-girls school environment, there was simply no chance of meeting boys.

However, she thought about it again and realized that even when she was in a co-educational school, she had never had any romantic feelings for any boy.

Sigh, what exactly went wrong with my youth?

Hoshino Saori blinked. She was clearly no less attractive or from a better family background...

After much thought, she could only attribute it to "the fate of philosophers."

Is he destined to embark on a tragic path, one devoid of worldly love and filled with loneliness and contemplation?

Wait... that doesn't seem entirely right either. Many philosophers throughout history seem to have also experienced that kind of student-old relationship...?

Thinking of this, Hoshino Saori subconsciously turned her head and secretly glanced at Aozawa walking beside her.

Qingze noticed her gaze and looked down to ask, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Hoshino Saori seemed startled and hurriedly looked away, feeling her heart beat faster for no reason.

She quickly took a couple of steps and loudly suggested, "Let's have a race! Let's see who gets back to school first!"

She tried to distract herself by running, but she had to stop after only a few steps, frowning and pressing her hand to her chest.

The movement was too big, and it hurt quite a bit.

Yatohime retorted irritably, "Idiot, I told you long ago that you should wear a sports bra when you go out to play, it's more convenient."

"But it has absolutely no aesthetic appeal."

Saori Hoshino muttered a protest under her breath.

Walking to the side, Qingze wisely chose to turn a deaf ear, pretending not to have heard the two girls' discussion about "inner beauty" and "practicality" in underwear.

After all, it was inconvenient for him to chime in on this topic, so he could only silently follow behind them, heading towards the school.

Chapter 113 Orc Mercenaries

Temporary tattoos can be washed off with water, but the trade-off is that the skin will become red from repeated rubbing.

For a quick and gentle cleansing, using a cleansing oil is a better choice.

The steps are very simple: first, pour the makeup remover onto a cotton pad, then place it over the tattoo design. After about 30 seconds, gently wipe it off, and the design will be easily wiped clean without leaving any trace.

The removal of Hoshino Saori's "flower arms" covered with floral patterns, as well as the floral tattoo on her chest, was not complicated, but because the area covered was large, it took a little longer.

By the time she had completely cleaned off the temporary tattoo, it was already 5:40 p.m.

Aozawa announced that today's club activities were officially over.

He rode his little motorcycle away from the school gate, watched by Hoshino Saori and Yato-hime, and returned to Higashino Apartment.

After parking the car, he quickly went upstairs, skillfully tied on an apron, and busied himself in the kitchen, preparing a fairly sumptuous dinner for himself and Da Huang.

After finishing his own portion, he mixed the remaining food and poured it into Big Yellow's food bowl.

He then went into the bedroom, closed the door, and casually tossed his phone onto the bed.

"Clap."

He reached out and pressed the light switch on the wall.

The moment the lights came on, the shadow cast beneath his feet seemed to come alive, and a dark purple pentagram magic circle quietly appeared on the ground.

A thick, dark shadow, like liquid asphalt, suddenly burst out from the magic circle, like living tentacles, wrapping around his entire body and then sinking downwards, pulling him into the dimension of shadow.

He leaped swiftly through the shadowy realm.

A moment later, his figure slowly emerged from the shadow of a large tree in Tomose Park.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately activated the spell of Eye of the Birds.

Five crows that were roosting nearby, like soldiers receiving orders, quickly flapped their wings and flew into the sky, becoming his eyes looking down at the earth.

Qingze, meanwhile, once again sank into the shadows and began his tag search for the night.

After searching for a while, he found a conspicuous red name tag on a busy main road.

Orcs

The man bearing this label rode a rugged black motorcycle and wore a slightly worn leather jacket.

Beneath the full-face helmet, a wisp of golden hair was faintly visible, suggesting that this "half-orc" was likely a foreigner.

Qingze immediately locked onto his target, and with a flash, he merged into the long, narrow shadow left by the motorcycle as it sped across the ground.
