Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 49

Not long after leaving Dou Tang, Huai Yin woke up. She looked around groggily at first, and was clearly startled when she saw Teacher Xingzi, but she relaxed when she saw Dou Tang next to her.

Seeing this, Ms. Kyoko thought it best not to disturb the brother and sister, so she slowly withdrew. "Now that you're awake, I'll be leaving now. Remember to come back before 8:30."

"Take care, teacher." Dou Tang nodded.

After Teacher Xingzi left, Dou Tang helped Huai Yin up from the ground. Huai Yin seemed to really like Dou Tang's clothes and straightened the corners of his clothes for him.

"Are you awake? Do you want to go eat?"

"Hmm...okay, but I wonder what kind of food is available in Kamogawa City?"

How about the seafood?

The two discussed it and went out, walking onto the streets of Kamogawa City.

Kamo River City is based on a flat area on the riverbank and extends back along the valley, so it looks like a long and narrow city when viewed from the air. The houses are located on relatively high ground. The two of them are now walking slowly down the slope along the street.

The sunset at the seaside is still very beautiful. Looking at the scene from a high place, the orange-yellow rays of the setting sun turn into thin streaks scattered on the dark sea surface, which are the colors of the waves.

The city slowly lit up, the lights stealing the spotlight from the sunset. The narrow downhill road stretched out like a snake, and the reflections on the road surface were particularly eye-catching, like gemstones.

Huaiyin looked at her phone with a mysterious expression, then looked up and said, "Brother, I found a seafood restaurant with great reviews. Shall we go eat there?"

"Okay, it's all up to you."

It was rare for her to be so proactive, so Dou Tang certainly didn't want to spoil the fun and let her pull him along for a jog down the slope.

Huaiyin's hands were soft and delicate. Looking at the girl's excited expression, Dou Tang felt something stirring deep inside him. He smiled somewhat forlornly and started jogging with her.

"Slow down, the restaurant isn't going to let you run, what's the rush?" Dou Tang shook his head and advised.

"But if we go too late, there might not be any seats left!"

The house was not far from the restaurant. The two found the restaurant in a sloping alley. The restaurant was converted from a duplex house, and it felt like visiting someone's home.

"Brother, this is it, let's go in." Huaiyin excitedly pulled him inside.

"I've never seen you so excited before..." Dou Tang shook his head and followed her into the room.

But then he frowned.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was clearly off.

The original living room of the house had been transformed into a large hall, with several tables neatly arranged. At this moment, there were some people sitting in the hall, but they did not look like kind people. Some of them were dressed in priest's robes, some were dressed in suits, and some were even covered in necklaces and colorful decorations, looking like witches.

Huaiyin was also taken aback for a moment, but then whispered, "Brother, are these people here for the temple fair?"

Dou Tang glanced around in confusion, but it seemed that... these people were nothing special.

Before the two could even sit down, Huaiyin was suddenly embraced by a pair of slender arms. Doutang instinctively wanted to punch her, but stopped himself after seeing who it was.

The newcomer was wearing a pale yellow dress and a straw hat tilted at an angle. She smiled with delight and gentle eyes.

"Kiryu-kun, you didn't expect this, did you! I'm here!"

The person who came... was Chinatsu Kume.

Chapter 93 I am her lord, do you have a problem with that?

Why is it always you?

Chinatsu Kume hugged Ayane and laughed happily; Ayane seemed happy too.

Dou Tang suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is... Huaiyin was secretly contacting you through her phone contacts before the trip?"

Chinatsu Kume nodded and smiled, "That's right! Kiryu-kun, I rushed over here as soon as I finished recording the show!"

The three sat down. Although Dou Tang was puzzled by the strange atmosphere in the room, he naturally didn't care where others ate, as long as these people didn't cause trouble.

After ordering his food, Toudou learned why Kume Chika had come here.

Chinatsu Kume had been looking forward to this school trip for a long time and had been making plans for it, but the final arrangements were still a little off, so she didn't come with the school bus and instead took a bus here by herself.

She and Dou Tang arrived almost simultaneously. Dou Tang had just left the house when she arrived. After greeting Teacher Xingzi, she quickly followed Huaiyin's lead and came over.

Her relationship with Huaiyin was better than Doutang had imagined. The two had exchanged contact information before, and later often played games together. They were even members of the same squad (guild) in Final Fantasy XIV.

Because Chinatsu Kume was free except during commercial breaks, she often did dubious works with the shut-in Ayane, so they naturally got along well.

This really surprised Dou Tang.

The two chatted about game-related things, and then when the food was being served, Kume Chinatsu suddenly lowered her head sincerely.

"I'm sorry, Kiryu-kun!"

The people in the restaurant looked over, and Dou Tang keenly noticed the abnormal fluctuations in their bodies, which puzzled him.

It's not resentment, but it is indeed some kind of energy. Are these people exorcists?

He tightened his aura, trying his best not to give himself away, and then said, "Why are you apologizing, Kume-kun? You don't seem to have done anything wrong."

"I'm so sorry about what happened at school before!" Chinatsu Kume raised her head, her eyes full of sincerity. "I was so arrogant back then. After talking with Kaine, I've thought about it a lot. I was really too arrogant back then. I'm sorry, Kiryu-kun!"

Dou Tang looked into her eyes and remained silent for a while, seemingly deep in thought.

So she actually listened to what I said that day?

This person... is far too kind.

According to Dou Tang's assumption, Kume Chika should have been very angry after saying such harsh words, given her status, and might even have stopped associating with him from then on. However, she didn't seem to have any airs of an idol and apologized without hesitation when it was time to do so.

After considering for a moment, Dou Tang said, "Kume-kun... I only said those things back then to tell you that I don't need your or that shrine maiden's help. Apologizing for that... to be honest, is unnecessary."

Chinatsu Kume nodded somewhat timidly, then said, "But... I disturbed Kiryu-kun without permission, so it's only right that I apologize, isn't it? Will Kiryu-kun forgive me?"

"Of course!" Dou Tang spread his hands: "I am very grateful that Kume-kun was worried about me, so of course I accept your apology."

Kume Chinatsu felt somewhat relieved and patted her chest, but then couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "But Kiryu-kun, the other day, Ms. Kanzaki said you had resentment on you. Could it be that you and Kaine have been haunted by evil spirits again?"

Dou Tang narrowed his eyes. That day, he had unintentionally revealed some of his aura and had had too much contact with Jiangdao Yizai.

As for being haunted by evil spirits... haha, that's hilarious.

However, at that moment, a disdainful laugh came from among the group of strangely dressed people.

Dou Tang turned his head and saw a man in a suit holding a beer glass. It was clear that the man was in a bad mood. He first glanced at Dou Tang with disdain, and then said, "Little brat who keeps talking about evil spirits, what do you think the supernatural is? Talk about picking up girls and flirting?"

Dou Tang ignored the nonsense of such people, and instead turned his head to look at Kume Chinatsu and said, "No, although Huaiyin and I often run into each other, we can handle it ourselves."

"You can handle it yourself?!" The exorcist in the suit raised his voice eight octaves, exclaiming excitedly, "Ha! These days, high school students will say anything to get closer to girls!"

"What do you take exorcism for, kid?"

Dou Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not respond.

One of the exorcists chimed in, tugging at the man's sleeve and admonishing, "Say less! What are you saying to an ordinary passerby?"

"Hmph!" The exorcist in the suit slammed his glass on the table. "I just look down on those arrogant people! These students who like to play around with spirit summoning rituals all the time, and that woman who asked for an exorbitant price! None of them take exorcism seriously!"

It turns out that some of the exorcists were the same people who had met at the hotel earlier. Lu Zizhen was so assertive at the meeting that these people felt they couldn't compete with her, so they came out to drink away their sorrows.

As an exorcist from Tokyo, he was overshadowed by his fellow exorcists and was almost humiliated by being grabbed by the collar. Many people present complained.

I came out to have a drink to drown my sorrows, and at the next table there were people discussing evil spirits and resentment. Upon closer inspection, I realized they were just a bunch of ordinary high school students who knew absolutely nothing about such things.

For example, imagine you're a hacker, attending a hacker conference where you're criticized for your poor code and illogical thinking. To relieve your boredom, you overhear a few clueless kids bragging about how they hacked into a bank's system today.

This is an insult to my profession!

Seeing that Dou Tang remained silent, the exorcist in the suit became even more disdainful and shouted, "Show some respect for your profession!"

In Japan, the concept of class is deeply ingrained in all aspects of society, whether in schools, companies, or other settings, with the hierarchy and seniority relationships being the most pronounced.

Here, adults and students

Sometimes the gap is hard to bridge. In China, it's like someone who says, "Call your parents here!" No matter if they're right or wrong, you're still a generation below them.

Huaiyin puffed out her cheeks in anger, glanced at Doutang who wanted to settle things peacefully, and understood that he was just not going to take it to heart.

But not taking it personally doesn't mean letting people pick on you without fighting back!

So she slammed her hand on the table and said, "Brother! You can't hold back anymore!"

Dou Tang squinted at her, as if asking for her opinion, like a... a steel puppet that only responded to her, ready to step into any hell that lay ahead at her command.

Huaiyin pouted and puffed out her cheeks, then looked in the direction of the exorcists and said, "Those dressed like a bunch of shamans should mind their own business and not eavesdrop on other people's privacy!"

A shamanistic ritual?!

This word immediately reminded the exorcist in the suit of what Lu Zizhen had said before the meeting, and he flew into a rage. "You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting, you mere child?! Is this how your parents taught you to respect people?"

...Your family member?

Dou Tang suddenly slammed his hand on the table, and with a loud bang, everything on the table jumped.

"I am her... Do you have a problem with that?"

A streak of blue light burst forth, exploding in his eyes. He turned his head, his ghostly eyes fixed on the exorcist in the suit.

Chapter 94 Mr. Ren, please enlighten me.

Stared at by those indigo eyes, the exorcist in the suit suddenly shuddered, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Most people's eyes are calm and clear, but those eyes were different. They churned with cold anger, leaping out as if it were a tangible force. The glaring indigo color reminded people of a cold operating light, as if it could see through everything about him.

In addition, these eyes conveyed a dangerous signal.

Those are not the eyes that a normal person could have.

Dou Tang slowly stood up and stood in front of the table. His cold eyes swept back and forth across the group of exorcists, finally settling on the exorcist in the suit.

The exorcist in the suit, as if facing a formidable enemy, asked with surprise and uncertainty, "You...who are you?"

"I am her family member, the adult you're referring to. Do you have a problem with me?"

The exorcists also stood up, and one of them, dressed as a priest, spoke up: "Sir, why are you filled with resentment? Could it be that you are truly possessed by a vengeful spirit?"

"If that's the case... we might be able to help you."

The priest sneered, which looked more like a threat. Clearly, in their eyes, Dou Tang was just an ordinary person controlled or influenced by a vengeful spirit.

The waitress stood trembling to the side, not daring to utter a sound. She clearly recognized the local exorcists and therefore hesitated to approach them.

Dou Tang glanced sideways at the priest, then smiled contemptuously and said, "Resentment? My resentment stems only from your arrogant words. I want it..."

He pointed to the exorcist in the suit.

"Apologize to my family."

"Apologize?" The exorcist in the suit smashed his beer mug on the ground, shattering it with a loud crack, which made Dou Tang narrow his eyes.

"Why should we apologize! You're so arrogant..."

Ignoring all that nonsense, Dou Tang simply waved his hand and said, "Huaiyin, take Kume out first, I'll handle things here."

"Listen to others! You rude brat!" The exorcist in the suit was furious upon seeing this.

Chinatsu Kume was a little apprehensive, after all, she had never encountered this situation before. Huaiyin looked at Doutang with slight worry, and Doutang waved his hand, which put her at ease.

The two girls slowly left, and the exorcists did not stop them. After all, in their opinion, the only one worth keeping here was Dou Tang.

One reason was his provocation, and the other was the strange resentment emanating from him.

Dou Tang picked up a short oyster knife from the table, casually toying with it, and said, "You must apologize to my sister. As for the others, you can do whatever you want with them."

As for Dou Tang, although he usually seems indifferent to everything, that's only because he feels that he can do whatever he wants. In his mind, the person who deserves attention is not him.

He only needed to eat enough to keep himself from getting hungry for lunch each day, and he didn't care about his clothes as long as they weren't dirty or messy. He didn't even care what kind of place he lived in. If Huaiyin had a nightmare, he could hold Huaiyin in his arms and sit there all night.

But whenever Huaiyin is involved, he suddenly loses his composure and rationality. He always has a strange sense of indebtedness towards Huaiyin, believing that he owes her something from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps this is also because he regards Huaiyin as the person he once knew.

Regardless, Huaiyin is his most prominent weakness, and also the person he overprotects.

The exorcist in the suit laughed in anger, and everyone present was also very displeased with Dou Tang's words. The priest continued, "Young man, no matter what, speaking to adults in this tone, even disregarding right and wrong, you have gone too far!"

Dou Tang turned his neck without making a sound, and silently raised the oyster knife in his hand. The blade of the knife was shorter than his finger, which looked ridiculous.

The exorcist in the suit simply reached into his jacket pocket, pulled out a pair of gloves, and put them on.

"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson! I'll show you what manners are!"

"Etiquette?" Dou Tang sneered. "Only those who know absolutely no etiquette would keep such words on their lips."

"After all, in their eyes, only they are superior to others; there's no reason for them to bow their heads and admit their mistakes."

"What you care about isn't etiquette, all you care about is your dignity as an adult... Do you know what people like you are called in China?"
