Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 136 A lonely girl?
The terrace known as "Xingshen Temple" is covered with tatami mats. On the long table is a deep-sea bluefin tuna weighing two hundred kilograms. The belly of the fish is cut open with a Honyaki kitchen knife as bright as a mirror. The fish belly is as tempting as pink marble.

Surrounding this main course are teriyaki puffer fish, charcoal grilled spring fish, peony shrimp sashimi, and blue lobster sashimi flown from France, with mellow and fragrant sake chilled in a sake flask.

Lu Mingfei and the other seven family heads sat around the long table. Today, the chef of the family is personally cooking. The chef once served the Imperial family and was the top figure in the Japanese chef pyramid. Even from Lu Mingfei's perspective, You see, this can be considered a high-standard reception.

After drinking tea and having a brief exchange, it was time to eat. There was a room in the shrine specifically for entertaining guests. However, according to Masamune Nagatachibana, this room had not been used for almost ten years. Sorry, because I have never met a distinguished guest.

After the head of the Uesugi family ran away, Minamoto Chisheng also chased him out. A moment later, Minamoto Chisheng came back alone and apologized to Lu Mingfei, saying that the head of the Uesugi family was unwell and had gone back to rest.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei felt it was a pity. After all, he was curious about how the girl would eat while wearing a veil, but now he couldn't see it.

Gen Zhisheng and the head of the Sakurai family, who were closest in age to Lu Mingfei among the crowd, were placed on either side of him. Everyone was enjoying top-quality sashimi and drinking sake together. The atmosphere was somewhat relaxed compared to before.

Suddenly, the sound of clogs came from far away.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked over. He saw the red and white witch running briskly, her red hair flying in the sun seeming to glow.

Yuan Zhisheng's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Eli Yi to run over again, but the current situation was too inconvenient to stop her. He could only watch her run over, stop in front of Lu Mingfei, kick off her clogs, and then sit on her knees. On the tatami, a black square was handed to Lu Mingfei.

"Eriyi, don't be rude!" Tachibana Masamune shouted in a low voice.

Eriki blinked and then looked blankly, which probably meant "What did you say? I can't hear you."

Lu Mingfei took the box from the head of the Uesugi family. It seemed to be a small handheld device with an electronic screen. It was only the size of an MP4, and it was several times thicker. It was heavy in his hand.

"What is this?" Lu Mingfei was curious.

The head of the Uesugi family lowered his head to write, then raised the small notebook: "It's a Digimon machine, a thing for the chosen child."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment - to be honest, he really didn't know this thing. He knew that Digimon was originally an electronic pet produced by Bandai. The handheld console sold for children allowed you to raise Digimon and fight against them. Later, in order to promote the game , the animation called "Digimon" appeared.

But when he was a child, he never played with such high-end toys. Neither his uncle nor aunt bought them for Lu Mingze. How could he play with them? When he was a child, he occasionally saw rich friends showing off the so-called "Digimon Machine", but It seems to be different from the handheld device in front of me.

One of his dreams when he was a child was to get a Digimon machine and his own Digimon. He didn't expect that this dream would come true one day, and it would be realized by such a not-so-smart girl.

But soon Lu Mingfei realized that he had thought too much.

Because the head of the Uesugi family wrote in the notebook: "Fight with me. This is lent to you. Remember to return it to me later."

It turns out it was not a gift to me.Lu Mingfei complained in his mind, why are you looking so protective of food?Are you really a child? Hey!

Tachibana Masamune's eyes and tone across the long table became stern: "Eri! Don't do anything that will trouble the guests!"

The dark rose-colored eyes of the head of the Uesugi family dimmed for a moment. Although he couldn't see the lower half of her face, Lu Mingfei felt inexplicably that she should have secretly pursed her lips just now.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei turned to Tachibana Masamune and said, "It's okay. In fact, I'm also very curious about this toy. I always wanted to play with it when I was a child, but never had the chance. It would be nice to experience it now."

Tachibana Masamune hesitated to speak, and after hesitating for a long time, he said: "Then please Mr. Lu, please play with Eriki for a while, please."

Eryi stared at Lu Mingfei and raised her notebook: "Have you never played against others? Don't you have any friends?"

Lu Mingfei originally wanted to say that he didn't have a Digimon machine, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have no friends when he was a child, and the head of the Uesugi family was right.

hateful!Why does it feel like a knife has been stabbed in my heart?But then he noticed a blind spot: "Yeah? Don't you have any friends either?"

The head of the Uesugi family nodded, and after writing, he raised the notebook and said, "I have never played with others, but I have two Digimon machines that I can play against myself."

Play against yourself?Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the girl in front of him seemed really lonely, otherwise she wouldn't have caught him playing a battle game with a stranger.

That's right, she is the most distinguished person in the Sheqi family. Who is qualified to be her playmate?No wonder she looks quiet and lonely...

For a moment, Lu Mingfei even felt that he saw the shadow of his childhood self in her.

When he was in junior high school, his uncle and aunt bought him and Lu Mingze a pair of badminton rackets each, but he couldn't find anyone to play with him, so he found a desolate and remote badminton court. There was no net on the court, only a string tied to it. Using the mottled rope as a substitute, he played badminton with himself. After hitting a ball, he ran to the other side to pick up the ball and hit it back, pretending that he was playing badminton with his friends.

He never went back after two days because he was too tired of pretending to play badminton like he had friends.

Putting aside the inexplicable thoughts that came to him, Lu Mingfei looked at the head of the Uesugi family. Perhaps because of some sympathy for each other, he actually felt that the other party was somewhat friendly at this moment.

"We can play together, but I don't understand the rules. Can you teach me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

The head of the Uesugi family nodded vigorously.

……

At night, Lu Mingfei returned to the hotel.

He never expected that he could play Digimon from day to night with the cute-looking head of the Uesugi family.

Fortunately, he won more often. Lu Mingfei felt a little want to laugh when he thought of the angry look in the eyes of the head of the Uesugi family when he finally left.

Pushing the door open and walking into the living room of the suite, Lu Mingfei saw that Chu Zihang was already sitting on the sofa, flipping through something.

"Senior brother," Lu Mingfei walked over, "How are you doing? Is there any progress in the investigation?"

Chu Zihang shook his head: "I didn't find any useful information today. How about you at the Sheqi Ba Family?"

"Although they are in the underworld, I feel that they are quite normal," Lu Mingfei sat on the sofa, "and they are also very kind. It is probably because of the relationship with the principal. The principal seems to be very respected in the Sheqi family."

"I think a more accurate term should be awe," Chu Zihang said lightly, "According to the information I found, the principal came to Japan alone decades ago and conquered the eight Sheqi families with powerful force. Make them surrender to the college, so the college has always been in awe of the principal."

"So that's it...wait a minute!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, "Senior brother, what you mean is that the principal's relationship with the Sheqi family does not actually have a friendly and warm relationship. The reason why the Sheqi family surrendered to The college, is it entirely because they were beaten down by the principal?!"

Chu Zihang nodded, and then asked a little strangely: "Don't you know? The principal didn't tell you?"

"No..." Lu Mingfei covered his face, "He was talking about the fact that he was in Japan and had a lot of success..."

"Many elites in the Japanese branch have gone to the academy to study, so there is no problem with this statement." Chu Zihang said.

"It's a big problem, it's a big problem," Lu Mingfei cried sadly, "When I met with the heads of the Eighth-surnamed family today, I asked them to tell them about the principal's glorious deeds in Japan!"

Chu Zihang: ...
