"I knew I shouldn't have run so fast."
"Go left."
Just as Xia Yan was struggling with where to go, a female voice came from behind him and pointed out the way.
The voice was familiar. Xia Yan turned his head slightly and saw Qian Hua and the others not far behind him.
It goes without saying that Kaguya was the one who said that.
"Xia Yan, why didn't you wait for us!" Qian Hua raised an eyebrow, her voice slightly annoyed.
Xia Yan quickly smiled apologetically and apologized to the two of them.
"Hmph, see if you ever wait for us again next time. I wonder where you'll find that ability user then." Chika looked quite smug.
"I was really wrong, you two beautiful ladies, please forgive me this time," Xia Yan pleaded.
"I'm magnanimous, I won't hold it against you." Qianhua burst out laughing, and the unpleasantness from before vanished instantly.
"In that case, let's hurry up and go." Xia Yan took the lead and walked towards the left intersection, with Chika and Kaguya following behind him.
The three of them walked quickly, so they soon arrived at the place where the superhuman was.
"You're going to Bai?" Qianhua asked first.
The person continued reading the book in their hands, oblivious to everything else.
"Hey! You're talking to me!" Chika raised her voice a little higher.
Xia Yan took a step forward and began to interact with the man.
"Hello, we'd like to ask you a few questions, I wonder if it's possible..."
Xia Yan was interrupted by that person before he could finish speaking.
"No, you can leave now, don't bother me!" The man didn't turn around, but his tone was clearly not friendly.
"How can you have such an attitude!" Qianhua couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
Although Xia Yan showed no expression, his brows furrowed unconsciously.
"What, you can't stand it, so you resort to violence? Otherwise, get out of my way!" The man named Qu Bai finally turned around, his eyes filled with arrogance.
"You!" Qianhua stomped her feet in anger, wishing she could rush up and teach this person a lesson.
Kaguya was much calmer than Chika, but she was still somewhat dissatisfied.
"In that case, I would be grateful if you could enlighten me."
Xia Yan gave the two of them a look, then turned to look at Qu Bai and said in a deep voice.
"If you're going to fight, then fight! Stop talking nonsense!"
Without further ado, Bai vanished the moment he finished speaking. Kaguya Chika was shocked, clearly not expecting his opponent to be so powerful.
... .. 0
He slightly shifted his feet, and then the white figure behind him launched an attack!
However, Xia Yan dodged it with extreme ease!
"Looks like you've got some skills."
Qu Bai was taken aback, but quickly recovered from his shock. A strange smile appeared on his lips, and then his hand gesture changed, this time grabbing directly at Xia Yan's heart!
The opponent's attack was fierce; if you were hit, it would be very dangerous.
Xia Yan remained unfazed, as if in his eyes, Qu Bai's attack moves were nothing more than children playing house.
However, it must be said that this superhuman is quite powerful.
Of course, it's only "not bad," nothing more. (6. Fan)
Chapter Fifteen: Cosplay
Just as Xia Yan was getting ready for battle, a cosplayer walked by.
Qu Bai immediately chased after the cosplayer, shouting at Xia Yan, "I'll fight you again later! Ah~ Kurumi, don't go—"
……
Ah Wei is just an ordinary guy, but he unexpectedly gains superpowers.
As a result, Awei became even more confident and arrogant than before.
At this moment, Awei was talking to a girl and did not notice the presence of Xia Yan, the "320" girl harvester and heartthrob.
Xia Yan also took this opportunity to observe Awei, a thoughtful expression on his face, "I wonder what kind of superpower this person has."
"Huh! This is the first time I've seen this person. When did our academy produce such a superhuman? And he acts all aloof."
Chika spoke with an angry expression. "When we encounter a new ability user, it's best not to be careless if we don't know him well," Kaguya said after glancing at Chika.
Meanwhile, Ah Wei had already noticed Xia Yan and the others while Qian Hua was speaking. After watching the fangirl leave with a rather dashing air, Ah Wei finally turned around to look at them. However, Ah Wei's first glance wasn't at Xia Yan, but at the two girls behind him.
"The two girls behind this guy are so pretty. One looks lively and cute, and the other has a noble, composed and aloof demeanor. Why do these two outstanding girls look at me with such indifference and disdain?"
Ah Wei thought to himself, "The man in the middle is staring at me with a blank look in his eyes. Is he stupid?"
After observing for a while, Xia Yan had a general idea of Awei's abilities as the new superhuman. He shook his head and said, "Let's go!"
Chika and Kaguya nodded after hearing this and prepared to leave with Natsuhiko.
But Ah Wei couldn't take it anymore. He watched as the man stared at him for a long time, then shook his head and left, taking the two girls with him.
I can't stand it anymore! It's one thing for this guy to be short-sighted and unaware of his own limitations, but he actually managed to fool two girls! (Forwarded)
Why did he get to be followed by two pretty girls?! The more Ah Wei thought about it, the angrier he got. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Hey you in front! Stop right there!"
Then he activated his superpower and rushed towards Xia Yan. Qian Hua was startled and shouted, "Xia Yan, watch out behind you!" But before Awei could even get close to Xia Yan, he was bounced back by his superpower and pinned to the wall.
Unconvinced, Ah Wei charged at Xia Yan again, but this time he was a bit smarter, attacking different parts of Xia Yan simultaneously. Just as he was about to succeed, Xia Yan suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, Xia Yan was already behind Ah Wei, and with a gentle reach, Ah Wei was pinned to the wall once more.
"Your superpower is indeed very strong, but you're a bit too stupid. Both times you attacked, the places were easily defended. If you encounter someone with a weak superpower, it's fine, but if you encounter someone with a strong superpower, you won't even have a chance to fight back." Xia Yan glanced back at him again, then left with Chika and Kaguya, leaving Awei completely bewildered.
On the way back——
"Xia Yan, you're amazing! You took care of that new superhuman in no time. It's a shame the academy was saying he was incredibly powerful, but he's just a good-for-nothing. Hahahaha!" Qianhua cheered.
"Your ability has increased to 4.9 again, Xia Yan," Kaguya said with a smile.
"You even noticed that, Kaguya, you're amazing!" Xia Yan laughed. "Let's hurry back, the other girls are still waiting for us."
"Hey, hurry up! We still have a banquet! We can celebrate Xia Yan's victory over the legendary super-powerful new ability user. Everyone's been preparing for this banquet for ages! Let's go, Xia Yan!"
"Um!".
The sixteenth backup chapter, maid café, nine umbrellas, sixty-four coffee feeders, sulfur zero hall.
Kaguya was also quite calculating in her mind, her thoughts revolving around her feelings for Natsuhiko. Although Kaguya appeared to have a strong, mature aura, no matter how proud she was on a daily basis, she would instantly transform into a scheming little girl when she was with the man she liked.
Kaguya tossed and turned, racking her brains for a way to get Natsuhiko's attention—a way to pique his interest while showing him a different side of herself. Just then, she saw a group of cosplaying girls chattering by. A sudden inspiration struck her, and she snapped her fingers unconsciously. Hey, her chance had come!
Kaguya is planning to open a maid cafe so that she can naturally invite Natsuhiko for coffee and let him see a completely different side of herself. Who knows, she might even be able to win him over!
Thinking about all this, Kaguya couldn't help but smile like an aunt.
The maid café opened, and Kaguya began her expectant wait. Today, she was exceptionally warm and friendly. Many of the people present, who already knew each other, were seeing Kaguya like this for the first time and were completely dumbfounded, looking like they wanted to ask but didn't dare.
Although Kaguya's attention was on the guests, her eyes had been darting around from the beginning, searching for Xia Yan's whereabouts. Suddenly, a familiar and beautiful figure caught her eye.
It turned out to be Rem.
Even a beautiful and proud woman like Kaguya had to admit that Rem was beautiful. That beauty was different from her own; it was gentle and non-aggressive, captivating and drawing people in. Perhaps it could be called cute? She truly radiated beauty.
Today, Rem sported a trendy teddy bear curl, a subtle and mysterious caramel color, with soft hair cascading down. She has a small face, big eyes, and eyelashes that flutter like butterfly wings.
Her delicate, cherry-like lips made her skin appear even whiter. Combined with her white princess dress and black Lolita shoes, she was an absolute head-turner, even without saying a word.
This outfit doesn't make her look delicate or pretentious at all; instead, it's very pleasing to the eye and makes people feel comfortable.
Kaguya and Rem met eyes and nodded to each other. Kaguya gestured for Rem to find a place to sit, saying she would come over once she was done. Rem understood and sat down nearby, causing a few boys nearby to sigh softly, probably plotting how to ask for her contact information.
Meanwhile, the man Kaguya had been longing to meet was attending a school banquet, with Chika skipping and jumping beside her. The two chattered away, their faces beaming with happiness, making everyone around them envious. Even some bystanders unaware of their relationship cast envious and congratulatory glances their way.
The food, drinks, and entertainment at this campus banquet were incredibly tempting, with all sorts of cakes, milk tea, fruits, and even various street snacks. Qianhua's cravings were immediately piqued, revealing her foodie nature. She dragged Xia Yan through the crowd, constantly feeling that even more delicious food awaited them ahead.
Seeing Chika so happy, Xia Yan was also infected by her joy, and even played hide-and-seek with her in the crowd.
He told Chika that he would bring her to banquets in the future, and Chika was overjoyed to hear this.
Chapter Seventeen: The Dissatisfied Male Customer
Kaguya had no idea that Natsuhiko, whom she longed for, was having such a great time. She moved around her maid café, entertaining customers and gradually getting used to the job and becoming more and more involved in it.
Finally having some free time, Kaguya suddenly remembered that Rem was still sitting there waiting for her. She wiped her hands and quickly went over to greet Rem.
Kaguya immediately began praising Rem sincerely: "You know, I was a little stunned when I first saw you. I thought, 'Who is this stunning beauty? What are you doing in our little town?' Your hair color is so beautiful today, Rem! You have no idea how many customers you've attracted to me sitting here today. You're like a lucky cat! I really want to hire you as our mascot, the kind who just sits at the door doing nothing, hahaha..."
Kaguya immediately showered Rem with compliments, leaving her no chance to speak, which made Rem quite embarrassed. Once Kaguya finally stopped, Rem began their usual friendly banter: "Don't talk about me, beautiful lady! You're truly stunning today! I've never seen you like this before. You're beautiful, you look good in anything! But why did you suddenly decide to open a maid café?"
This question made Kaguya pause, and as she thought about her own little scheme, her face almost turned red. Just as she was thinking of an excuse, she heard someone next to her mutter, "We've been waiting for so long, why isn't the coffee on the table yet?"
Kaguya was startled, but also a little relieved. She quickly said to Rem, "Darling, I have to hurry up and serve coffee to the guests. I was so happy to see you that I almost neglected my business while chatting with you."
Kaguya was about to serve the coffee to the customer when he was on the phone again, hurling insults. He looked furious, his obese, greasy body making his well-made suit look completely out of place—like a pig wearing a human coat. His obviously expensive leather shoes were stretched taut by his fat feet, and a few wispy strands of hair clung to his head, making him look comically ridiculous.
The greasy old man was grumbling into his phone, his voice so loud that it drew the attention of people at the next table.
Just as Kaguya was putting out the coffee, the customer finished his phone call. He glanced at the coffee and exclaimed, "What kind of service is this? You have absolutely no efficiency! You're slower than a tortoise! By the time we're waiting for this coffee, even a snail could have climbed a pyramid!"
Kaguya, holding her coffee, was about to explain when the customer looked up and met her gaze. Seeing how beautiful Kaguya was, his eyes immediately changed, and he said sarcastically, "~A pretty girl like you coming out to buy coffee? Is it so you can meet a rich tycoon, be taken in by him, and have him support you?"
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said, "How about this? You kiss me and we'll call it even. I won't hold it against you, and I might even give you a tip!"
Hearing this, how could such a proud woman as Kaguya (okay, okay) stand it? Her expression changed drastically.
Rem, who was disturbed by the noise, noticed what was happening and saw that Kaguya was having a conflict with a customer. She quickly came over to try to help Kaguya out of the situation.
"What are you doing? What are you doing!" Rem walked through the crowd and saw that many of the maids working at the maid café were looking at Kaguya and the useless old man with fear and curiosity, and not a single one of them came forward to help.
Perhaps they were afraid of being implicated.
Chapter 18 Rem
Rem put down what she was doing, ran to the seat of the sleazy, greasy old man, and subtly pulled Kaguya behind him. Her eyes were calm, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned as she said, "Hello, sir, welcome to our coffee shop. Is there anything you'd like to complain about?"
The greasy middle-aged man glanced at Rem, smiled, unbuttoned his expensive suit to reveal his large belly, then slumped into a chair, his eyes full of mockery, and said, "Your staff's service attitude is terrible. Serving coffee takes forever. I'm a businessman; I need coffee to perk myself up so I can better negotiate contracts. But your irresponsible staff caused me to lose a multi-million dollar deal. How are you going to take responsibility?"
