Kids These Days Sure Know How to Have Fun

A sharp flash of sword light grazed past Yoru Machi's body, even cutting off a few strands of his white hair. Cui was truly furious now.

Ever since leaving the Elf Race, even in this other world where the average looks were exceptionally high, she had always been considered a beauty.

Yet now, not only had she been seen naked, but the bastard who had taken advantage of her even complained that she was too old and had nothing worth looking at!

"Are you insane? Didn't I say I didn't see anything?! Would I only avoid getting slashed if I said I saw everything? And we're indoors! If you keep going wild like this, we won't even have a place to live anymore!"

Faced with the Elf Maiden's fierce sword strikes, Yoru Machi could only dodge left and right while trying to talk her into calming down.

However, what left Yoru Machi speechless was that no matter what he said, the girl seemed completely unable to calm down. In fact, her emotional meltdown only seemed to be getting worse...

He said he had seen nothing, and she slashed at him. But when he changed his story and said he had seen everything, she slashed at him even harder!

The house Soya rented to them was not small, but it could not withstand Cui's rampage. Yoru Machi easily evaded each sharp slash, but the surrounding floorboards, ceiling, and furniture were not so lucky.

Feeling guilty and having gotten an eyeful, Yoru Machi had kept yielding to Cui's outburst. But seeing that Cui now looked ready to demolish the house, he could no longer stay calm.

That was right, Yoru Machi had just made a small fortune, but damn it, he was not some rich tycoon. Soya's house clearly was not cheap. If Cui really tore it apart, then as one of the tenants—and the one who had caused all this—he would have to bear half the responsibility, right?

"If you keep pushing me like this, then I won't hold back anymore!"

Yoru Machi did not choose to draw his blade, because the swordsmanship he excelled in was all meant for killing. Once he attacked, the best outcome for Cui would still be getting injured.

There was no grudge between him and Cui, and he had indeed been in the wrong first. Naturally, Yoru Machi could not draw his blade against her.

Of the Soul Reaper's Zanpakuto, Kidō, Hoho, and Hakuda, if he could not use Zanpakuto, then he could only use another method to make the Elf Maiden before him calm down.

Hakuda was good, but the room was too cramped for Yoru Machi to use it properly.

Shunpo could only be used to flee and evade, which left only Kidō.

Yoru Machi did not know why, but when he used Kidō in this other world, its power seemed to become even more astonishing after Reiatsu was converted into mana. He had already experienced that thoroughly in several previous battles.

So in the current situation, Yoru Machi did not dare casually use Hadō. If he mishandled it, the house would be blown away even faster!

"Light exists in this world. Spirit as lock, soul as chain; all things bound are sinful! Bakudō #63: Chain Binding!"

While continuously using Shunpo to evade Cui's attacks, Yoru Machi rapidly chanted the incantation. Just as Cui sensed that something was wrong, gripping her longsword in one hand and reaching out before her with the other, preparing to use magic as well—

A glowing chain shot explosively from Yoru Machi's hand, wrapping around Cui's wrist at incredible speed and lifting her arm.

Seeing the glowing chain coiled around her wrist, Cui did not hesitate before preparing to cut the chain around her left wrist with the sword in her right hand. But before she could act, even more golden chains suddenly shot out from every direction.

This time, the chains did not merely bind her left hand. They wrapped around her limbs and waist as well, directly suspending her body in midair.

Looking at the glowing chains restraining her, Cui tried using mana to break free. Yet to her surprise, despite how fragile the chains appeared, no matter how she struggled, they showed no sign of loosening in the slightest.

Moreover, Cui had never seen the chain magic Yoru Machi used before. She could not even tell what attribute of magic it belonged to.

"Su Cui Luqi... ah, um, Miss Cui, don't waste your strength. My fully chanted Bakudō #63 would not be easy to break free from even for the Poisonous Demon Dragon we encountered before. Even if you use mana, it is absolutely impossible for you to break free from these chains in a short time. I don't want to use force either. I just hope—"

At that moment, the Elf Maiden was suspended in midair by Yoru Machi's chains, her limbs still flailing constantly as she tried to break free from his Chain Binding. Yoru Machi had originally wanted to keep persuading her, but he suddenly felt several gazes coming from behind him.

Although Soya's house was located far from the streets, there were still other residents nearby. With the commotion Yoru Machi and Cui had made earlier, the people around them were naturally curious about what had happened.

Because they had not had time to close the front door earlier, several middle-aged women who were clearly bored out of their minds were now peering curiously into the house from the entrance.

When Yoru Machi looked at them, the women did not panic at all. They merely covered their mouths awkwardly and said, "Sorry, we interrupted you. We were wondering what had happened, but you can carry on now."

"That's right, that's right. We were just passing by. We thought a thief had broken into your house and were about to help you find the patrol guards."

Hearing what those women said, Cui, who had been hanging in midair with an angry expression, immediately flushed a deep red. She hurriedly tried to explain, "It's not what you think..."

"We understand, we understand. We old ladies have been there before. We can understand young people wanting to play a little more excitingly. But we hope you'll consider the other residents nearby as well. It's still broad daylight, after all. When you play, try to keep the noise down a little—and at least close the door."

At first, Yoru Machi had a completely bewildered look as he listened to Cui and the women talking.

But once he sorted through his thoughts and looked at Cui, who was wearing nothing but a bath towel and hanging in midair, then at himself holding a longsword in one hand—snatched from Cui—and the other end of the chain in the other, Yoru Machi finally understood what those women had meant!

"Ladies, it really isn't what you think. I've only met this elf once. Things aren't—"

Yoru Machi wanted to explain, but the women gave him no chance at all. They merely shot him a look that said, "We understand," then kindly closed the door for them before leaving.
