My name is Lu Mingfei, not Lu Mingfei!

Chapter 208 207. Red-haired girl (3)

Spring in Tokyo is always prone to rain. The day after the Kassel Academy Headquarters Commissioners arrived in Tokyo, the city was once again bathed in the sound of pattering rain. The rainwater hit the roof of the shrine, scattering beautiful parabolas in all directions, and scattered and rotated in the garden. The spring cherry blossoms sprinkled all over the ground.

This is a classical shrine, located in the mountains outside Tokyo. The careful renovation has made it not show any signs of shabby age. However, the torii gate in front of the main hall of the shrine was burned down and has not been rebuilt to this day. It seems that it was for It exists as some kind of memorial, and the vermilion walls are as rich as blood.

Six people holding paper umbrellas entered the shrine one after another. They all wore formal kimonos. The men wore black patterned haori and the women wore black sleeves. They wore white socks and wooden clogs. They looked ahead and walked extremely steadily.

The six surnamed heads of the eight Sheqi families, Tachibana, Inuyama, Fuma, Ryoma, Sakurai, Miyamoto, and the remaining Minamoto and Uesugi have already taken their places in advance, and the eight families are gathered here today.

This is a rare thing. Every year, the family heads of each family gather together only during the New Year's visit. It is rare for everyone to be present. Nowadays, the heads of the eight surnamed families, whether they are ninjas or important members of the army, have to put aside their work and follow the orders of Masamune Nagatachibana and come to the shrine. This means that something major enough to change the underworld is about to happen in the shrine.

After the six family heads entered the main hall, a large group of followers appeared on the stone stairs outside the shrine, separated from the guards standing on both sides. These men in black suits stood shoulder to shoulder to form a bottom-up landscape. The family heads When we have a meeting, we will never allow anyone to come near.

The floor of the main hall is covered with tatami mats, and no shrines or Buddha statues are enshrined. The inner walls are covered with ukiyo-e paintings, depicting a war between demons and turtles, with thin clouds and flames flying. Hundreds of men and women in black knelt and sat in their respective positions. Everyone knew their position in this huge organization, and no one knelt in the wrong position.

"Everyone, all the participants have arrived. Juro Anbe, Guan Yuanying, Wang Kouchou and other elders of the Strategy Department, thirty-four people in charge of the Liaison Department and their subordinates, one hundred and thirty-four people from the five minor surnames, and Kassel The Japanese branch of the academy has 19 heads and team leaders of the Kanto branch, 17 heads and team leaders of the Kansai branch, 14 people from the Rock Flow Research Institute, and seven people from the Maruyama Construction Works... A total of 440 people are here. ." The secretary in black presented the roster to the silver-haired old man, "Mr. Masamune, please take a look."

"Where is Zhisheng? What kind of meeting can we have without him?" Tachibana Masamune looked at the most conspicuous empty seat in the venue, "Yaksha Crow, where is Zhisheng?"

Crow Kneeling in the back row took a small step out of the queue: "The young master is patrolling the surrounding area to ensure the safety of all the family heads. He may not have received the news that everyone has arrived. I will inform him right away!"

The shrine of the Sheki Hachi Family is very large. It is not only a place of worship, but also the residence of the priests. There are many rooms in the courtyard behind the main hall, intricately forming a unique garden. Any family owner has the right to rest here. Occasionally, the shrine Some poor people who are forced to come to the hospital for help will also be accepted, and those rooms will be used to house them.

At this moment, Yuan Zhisheng is in his residence deep in the garden. This is a rather ancient cabin. Everything is simply decorated, but the gaming electronic equipment in the room is a bit out of place. He sat cross-legged and stared at KOF13 on the screen, engaged in a fierce battle with the girl in black next to him.

She was a young girl who looked slightly younger than Minamoto. Although she was wearing a black patterned haori worn by men, the wide kimono could not cover up the curves of her body. She was slim and graceful, and she looked like a neighbor. The feeling of a girl growing up. Her long red hair was unadorned and coiled gracefully on the tatami. Nowadays, there are very few girls with this kind of noodle-style hairstyle. It reminds people of the shrine maidens in ancient shrines.

The battle situation showed a one-sided and overwhelming victory. Yuan Zhisheng won seven sets in a row, while the girl did not win a single set. However, she was not discouraged or cheating. If she lost, she would silently press the select button to enter the next round. During the duel, colorful cold lights on the screen flashed across her expressionless face, illuminating her slightly pale complexion even more like jade.

"Eri Yi is not serious." Before the eighth game started, Yuan Zhisheng put down the controller, smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Eri Yi's head, "You don't have to kill everyone every time you play with me. Are you willing?"

Eriyi allowed herself to be manipulated by Yuan Zhisheng, as quiet as a kitten with her head buried. She grabbed a pen and paper from her side, quickly wrote a line of small words, and stood it up in front of Yuan Zhisheng.

"Because I stayed up late playing games yesterday."

Only then did Yuan Zhisheng notice that Eriki's eyes were a little tired. She always had few emotional fluctuations like this, so that many times Yuan Zhisheng couldn't figure out what she was thinking, let alone the subtle things that happened to her. Variety.

"You can play games at any time, and you're not allowed to stay up late." Yuan Zhisheng said sternly. It was obviously the tone of a brother lecturing his sister. It was a little harsh but still made people feel gentle.

"When I met a very interesting opponent, I couldn't help but deliberately provoke him." Eriki continued to write in the notebook.

People like Tachibana Masamune would definitely be surprised if they saw this. In the eyes of most people, Eri is a real doll girl. She is exquisite enough, and everyone who sees it will know it. I am sure she is beautiful and beautiful, but unfortunately she has no expression at all. No matter when you see her, she will always have the bleak look in her eyes like an old monk in trance seeing through the mortal world. How could Eri like this say something deliberately provocative, something that clearly had bad girl thoughts?

Perhaps only Minamoto knows that Eri actually has feelings, but very few. The most obvious one is probably when playing games. Eri's competitiveness is very strong, whether it is an online game or a single game. She likes to pass through the horizontal version of the level very much, and she likes the special attack KO or the speed pass without damage. If she fails to do so, the corners of her eyes will shrink slightly, which is obviously an angry expression, but it is not as strong as ordinary people.

"Is there anyone who can compete with you in this game?" Yuan Zhisheng was slightly surprised. His success in playing King of Fighters was not due to hard study, but because he could 100% complete the most accurate and fastest judgment and operation. to his bloodline. For ordinary people to play this kind of fighting game and become a master, it takes a lot of time to practice. Eri has a lot of time. She has no chance to participate in fighting competitions. Otherwise, getting top three will definitely not be a problem. She can compete with Eri. I'm afraid I can't find many opponents.

"My level is not high. I mainly like to play tricks. It makes people want to educate me."

"There is no need to be so serious about a game. It's just that I will never meet my opponent twice in my life." Yuan Zhisheng smiled, somewhat pleased. Eriyi can be said to be a mafia princess in terms of status, and he, the future The young master is almost of the same level. If Erika were more like a normal girl, maybe she would be a more qualified successor to the eight Sheqi families with a better bloodline.

Of course, the possible future queen of the underworld must be a little domineering girl who plays games to see whoever is upset and beats up whoever is upset. One of Minamoto's ambitions in life is to see Eri become a normal person and be as happy as an ordinary girl. She lives a happy life until she meets someone she likes and walks hand in hand into a beautiful palace. The cherry blossoms slowly fell on the veil she was wearing. She turned around with a sweet smile and said softly to herself, "Thank you for taking care of me, brother."

However, even if Eri is not sick, the status of this mafia princess is not something that ordinary people can bear. I wonder if someone is lucky enough to fall in love with Eri, will tens of thousands of black-clad men in the Sheqi Hachi family shout about it? Stand firm under the aura.

After discussing the game, Eriyi's remaining feelings disappeared. Minamoto looked at her calm face and suddenly felt a little sad. From the first time he met her, Eriyi was lying in the ICU with a breathing tube. On the hospital bed, she is already so old now, but she has never left a place other than home, and she has not received the proper education. Girls of her age in Tokyo have long learned to dress themselves up as BlingBling people, with bracelets, earrings and pendants, everything sparkling, and their whole body tells the beauty of youth.

Yuan Zhisheng picked up Eri Yi's long hair and used a wooden comb to carefully comb it from beginning to end. Eri Yi didn't move or turn her head to look at him. She looked at the screen in front of her and picked up the handle again and started the stand-alone mode. Cooperate with his work. Although she can be a bit naughty when playing games, most of the time she is such a well-behaved girl. Although she cannot speak, every little move she makes is in line with the times around her.

The long, silky hair fell from her fingertips like silk, and Yuan whispered in a naive voice: "I will bring you some cosmetics, skirts, etc. when I come back next time."

A girl like Eriki would look good dressed up, right? Minamoto Zhisheng has never been able to do anything for her. The most he can do is play games with her, but today he suddenly realized that he should give Eri the life she deserves, even if she can't go to the outside world. , we should also try to make Eriyi at home as beautiful as the girls outside.

"Cosmetics?" The small book was handed to Minamoto's eyes. This word was a bit unfamiliar to Eri, because she did not and would never hear of such a thing in her life. Her understanding of the world came from what she saw in front of her. That big screen, games and animations don't mention that girls need to learn to put on makeup when they grow up.

"Some pretty little bottles will make you look better if you apply them on your face." Yuan Zhisheng explained.

"That's it."

Ordinary girls would be very happy to hear what their brother said, but Eriki's reply was just like this. She didn't think it was important to become more beautiful, and she had no experience of being appreciated by anyone. To her, Minamoto's gift was He hasn't agreed on an interesting game to play next time, but Yuan Zhisheng hasn't realized it yet. He is just immersed in his own wishful sadness.

"Young Master~ Young Master! All the parents and families are here!" Crow sneaked his head in from outside the door, "They are all waiting for you. If you don't go, those people will talk again!"

His movements can be described as sneaky, because Crow knows very well that getting along with Eriki is one of the few times where his young master can feel at peace. Every time after meeting with Eriki, Minamoto will sit in silence alone. In front of the window, the back showed a sense of boredom, not for a specific person, but for the entire world, whether it was himself or Eri.

It’s not that Minamoto is not sure what will happen today, but he still chooses to play games with Eri. On the one hand, it is to connect with his sister, and on the other hand, it is actually a kind of escape. Minamoto doesn’t like family gatherings. If today's meeting wasn't so important that he couldn't escape, Yuan Zhisheng would definitely have slipped away in the name of having to keep an eye on the commissioner of the headquarters.

"I know." Yuan Zhisheng frowned, put down the wooden comb in his hand, and gently touched Eli Yi's hair, "Let's go together."

Eriki nodded obediently and stood up. When she walked, she would not walk side by side with Minamoto. Instead, she would hold the corner of his sleeve and lower her head, letting her forehead block her eyes and only look at the ground under her feet. This is her habit, she doesn't like to make eye contact with unfamiliar people. For example, even if the smiling crow outside is an unfamiliar person, and even if Minamoto's subordinates have seen him many times, in Eriki's opinion, this is just an existence whose smile will make her feel unhappy.

The full name of Eri is Uesugi Eri. She is the third of the three families in the eight families of Sheqi. The first is Tachibana Masamune's Tachibana, and the second is the source of Minamoto's child, so today's meeting is named after Eri. Li Yi also had to participate, even though she had no idea what the significance of this matter was and had no interest in it, so she had to be there.

The development of the Uchisan family has been a bit lonely so far. The Tachibana family only has Masamune Tachibana, the Minamoto family only has Minamoto Chisei, and even the Uesugi family only has Eri Yi. It can be said that it exists in name only. If it weren't for the fact that the three Uchika families still have enough outstanding blood to be able to intimidate For people with foreign surnames, there may sooner or later be an internal fight within the Sheqi Eight Families to establish the new three Nei Families.

Fortunately, both Minamoto and Eriki are still young enough. As long as they are present to shock, it means that there are two successors to the future young masters of the Sheqi family, and they can calm down the boys who are ready to make moves.

Crow followed the brother and sister in small steps. With his frequency of visiting the nightclub once every two days, even a beautiful woman would have to look at her more than once, but he could only be in awe of Eriki. This is not only because Eri Yi is the younger sister of her young master, but also because Crow is one of the few people who knows the true face of Eri Yi. She has a stronger bloodline than Minamoto Chisheng, the future young master.

If a beautiful girl has explosive fighting power and is as capable as a mechanized master, but she never shows any expression and doesn’t even want to look at you, this is not called the flower of the high mountain. She is not living on the same world line at all. . Therefore, Crow has always restrained his secular thoughts and only regards Eri Yi as someone who needs to be assisted like he treats his young master, and he treats her with respect and respect.
