"Kumamoto!"
"Kumamoto!"
The villagers behind him kept calling his name.
However, for some unknown reason, Endo Katsu chased after him, shouting menacingly, "Yutenji Kumamoto, what I despise most about you is your saintly appearance."
From childhood to adulthood, everyone has avoided you, which is hilarious. You even wanted to be my friend.
Look at me, I'm already a big shot at the agricultural cooperative, and I'm going to Tokyo in the future.
Look at you, look at what you have left in your life besides this run-down tavern?
So what if you love this land deeply? Does this land love you back?
Kumamoto, tell me where that boy is, and I promise, I guarantee your daughter will be able to become a Tokyoite!
Isn't this your daughter's wish?!
See? Actually, she's just like me, just like everyone else here. They all hate this lousy place just as much as I do.
Given the chance, everyone wants to run away!
"What talk of morality from the bear himself? Times have changed; nobody says those things anymore!"
After Endo Katsu finished speaking, he was a little out of breath. Just then, Uncle Kumamoto squatted down, picked up a handful of soil from the ground, walked up to Endo Katsu, and said, "Endo, how long has it been since you smelled the soil of your hometown?"
Uncle Kumamoto's eyes weren't angry; in fact, they held a hint of regret. He handed the soil to Endo, but Endo Masaru instinctively took a step back, as if the handful of soil in his hand was something terrifying.
He immediately shouted with hatred, "Who's laughing at me for wanting to roll around in the mud!"
After hearing this, Uncle Kumamoto held the handful of black soil to his nose and inhaled deeply before slowly letting it fall to the ground, saying, "What a pity, it's soil that could grow good crops."
The other people from Kumamoto followed and came out one after another, watching the two.
Just then, two girls rushed over. When they saw their father handcuffed, Yutenji Wakame almost collapsed, followed by anger.
Because, based on her understanding of this man, she could almost guess the whole process.
Therefore, she was angry.
"Yutenji Kumamoto, why are you always like this? Why are you always like this? They betrayed you. It happened once, it happened twice. Why don't you hate them?"
Because he never truly hated, only his daughter, Ruomai, could hate and despise Kumamoto on his behalf.
When the villagers of Kumamoto heard Wakame's words, they couldn't help but lower their heads in shame for all these years.
But at that moment, Uncle Kumamoto flashed his white teeth, raised his thumb, and said to everyone, "You all say I'm just bragging, but look, my daughter actually loves me very much."
Upon hearing this, Ruomai knelt down and broke down in tears.
Why... why does she have a father like that?
Over the years, she has been working hard in Tokyo, doing everything she can to put down roots there, just to prove to her father that he was wrong, and that Kumamoto was not a place worth such sacrifice.
So let's stop sacrificing for these people, stop sacrificing for this land.
That outside is the much wider world.
In the end, despite all her efforts, her father still stood before everyone, still smiling foolishly, completely oblivious to the fact that he had become covered in wounds.
Please, someone... someone can help her father.
She could only cry helplessly.
"Xiang... Miss Xiangzi..."
Then, Ruomai heard the rather familiar-looking old man in a tailcoat say in a surprised voice.
Xiangzi turned around in surprise, and then she saw a young boy and girl walking up to her. Then, countless security guards dressed in black appeared around them, trying to surround the two.
"Why...why..." Ruomai cried, why did this have to happen, walking right into a trap.
As a result, Hanami gave a thumbs-up to Uncle Kumamoto and shouted, "Kumamoto's code of honor is to repay kindness..."
Then, with a smile in her eyes, Yana teased Nyanko, "Have you forgotten that I'm also a bear?"
Immediately afterwards, Xiangzi slowly walked past Uncle Kumamoto and approached Endo Katsu next to him, while the other members of the Toyokawa family simply surrounded her.
"You... are you?"
But before Endo Katsumi could finish speaking, Xiangzi slowly clenched his fingers into a fist, then took a step forward and twisted his waist to exert force.
"don't want……"
Her fist seemed to cleave through the air as it struck Endo Masaru hard in the abdomen with a dull thud.
"Don't underestimate me!!!" Xiangzi shouted in a passionate voice.
The already thin man was now curled up like a shrimp in mid-air, his eyes bulging out, as he was sent flying backwards with a shrill scream.
"Iron!!!" she shouted with her last bit of strength.
Not far away, Miao Mengqin looked at Xiangzi's panting, petite figure as if she had seen something dazzling.
Chapter 59 Why are your son's pectoral muscles so exaggerated?
Fujita, the butler, watched silently as his young mistress brutally beat the skinny man away. The old man's lips twitched involuntarily.
In her memory, the young lady was a refined and elegant young woman in her prime. Had she been corrupted by that boy not far away, that she would resort to violence like this?
It's truly...gratifying.
However, it's time for this farce to end.
“Grandpa Fujita, it’s time to end this farce. I can go back with you, but you must withdraw all your men. And the only person who will go back with you… is me,” Xiangzi said in a stern voice.
Butler Fujita sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on his face. Then, in a kind voice, he said, "I will obey Miss's orders."
The master instructed that as long as you are willing to return to the Toyokawa family, all past transgressions will be forgiven.
This was also the "reward" for Miss Xiangzi's two escapes from the master's clutches.
She certainly has the right to be willful now.
But... that's about all there is to it.
Once again transformed into a young lady, Xiangzi looked around at the bodyguards who had been chasing her.
The bodyguards, who had initially exuded a menacing aura, suddenly lowered their heads like little rabbits, not daring to face the dignified young woman before them... or rather, their new mistress.
Not far away, Yutian Temple's Ruomai stared blankly at Xiangzi.
Clearly, the two of them could have simply left, and that was her wish.
However, for her sake and for her family's sake, Toyokawa Shoko and Hanami were willing to accept the consequences of their failed escape.
Is this...is this really the result she wanted to see?
Xiangzi looked at the butler and said calmly, "Grandpa Fujita, I need to say goodbye to Banami and the others."
The girl's tone was not one of polite pleading, but rather one of statement and command.
Butler Fujita hesitated slightly. Considering that he still didn't know how the two had escaped in the past, he really didn't dare to let them get close to each other easily. However, the girl was indeed the one with the highest status present.
"Young Miss, please do not leave our sight."
Xiangzi remained noncommittal, simply turning back to the boy's side. He had been silent ever since they arrived, along with the bewildered Yutianji Ruomai.
Xiangzi couldn't help but say in a gentle voice, "That's all right now. What wanted notice, what arrest, it's all just a matter of a word from the Toyokawa family. So you don't need to thank me, okay? Ruo... Meow Dream!"
Actually, it's us who have dragged you and your family into this mess.
"But...but, what if you meet with Banai?!" Meow Dream cried out in a panicked voice.
Xiangzi didn't answer, but smiled and said, "If there's a chance, Miaomeng, would you... be willing to be my teammate?"
Let us use our hands to gradually depict that unfinished fairytale world.
Miao Meng's throat tightened slightly. "What time is it? You're still saying such childish things."
You probably know that this is just wishful thinking. After you go back this time, you will never be able to come back, and the two of you may never have the chance to meet again.
She was clearly his rival in love, clearly... she was Hanami's girlfriend.
But why... why am I so sad?
Finally, she nodded vigorously and choked out, "I'm sorry... Toyokawa... Shoko, I'm really... so sorry."
It's not just this incident, not just the attitude towards her, but also the previous disbandment of the new band.
She... always liked to do stupid things, whether they were about her hometown, her father, or... her friends.
Then, Miaomeng saw Xiangzi's sun-like smile.
"It's decided, Miaomeng, your code name will be Amoris!" Xiangzi said happily.
Then, she held Hanami's hands tightly and whispered, "The rest is up to you."
“Well, leave the rest to me.” Banami, who had been rather taciturn during the conflict, said calmly.
Seeing the young couple being forced to separate, Fujita, who was not far away, felt a pang of pity and... a bit of disappointment.
Was his expectation of the boy too high, or was it simply unrealistic?
Back then, even Lord Dingzhi and Lord Qinggao couldn't accomplish that...
"Grandpa?!" Suddenly, Miss Xiangzi called out in his direction.
Fujita, the butler, instinctively turned his head away, as did everyone else present.
But when Butler Fujita turned around, he found no one there. Startled, he instinctively turned back and found the two still standing there, showing no signs of running away. He breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Miss Xiangzi's gaze toward them grew increasingly cold.
He understood that Miss Xiangzi meant it; she was mocking them, her "lackeys."
Butler Fujita remained silent, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Young Miss, it's time to leave."
After hearing this, Xiangzi remained silent, but released the boy's hand and slowly walked towards the Toyokawa family's house.
Upon hearing this, Miaomeng grabbed Banami's shoulder and shouted, "Banami, what are you doing? Why are you letting Toyokawa Shoko leave!"
Didn't you say you wanted to achieve a happy ending for everyone?
What are you doing?!
Even so, the boy remained silent.
Before boarding the Toyota MPV belonging to the Toyokawa family, Shoko couldn't help but turn around, look at the boy not far away, wave, and say, "Goodbye."
From a distance, Banami simply nodded slightly.
Then, surrounded by Fujita's butler and others, she left. The police who had come to "arrest" Uncle Kumamoto also immediately withdrew as if on orders, without ever mentioning the "wanted criminal" again.
At this moment, Miao Mengqin placed all the blame for the separation of the two on herself.
Even though her father and family were safe, this was not the price she wanted.
Even watching Toyokawa Shoko leave silently made her feel a surge of anger towards the boy before her...
"Why...Hanami, why..."
Why did I just watch her leave?
Isn't she the person you love the most?
Miao Mengqin couldn't help but pound her fist heavily on the boy's chest, her voice trembling slightly.
It looked like it had completely fallen into depravity.
However, Banami, who had previously been expressionless, said, "Stop knocking, my chest hurts."
"You?!" But before Miaomeng could get angry, she seemed to realize that something was wrong.
What's wrong? Hanami's chest... it's so soft... and the feel is so... big?
Is Banami's pectoral muscles really that exaggerated?
Then, as if realizing something, Miaomengqin stared wide-eyed at the "person" in front of her.
The "person" in front of them suddenly revealed a strange smile and said, "I didn't expect that you, Meow Dream... no, Amoris, like me so much."
Such a teasing tone?!
In other words, those who left with the Toyokawa family just now were actually...
