My Procrastination Is Getting Pretty Bad

"That damn brat!"

Li Shuhong cursed and kept firing his gun, using cement as a ranged attack, trying to keep him at bay.

Although Shuya's strength was not as good as his, it was still very high, and he successfully approached Li Shuhong again.

He shouted, "Teacher, take this!"

The Curse figure grotesquely cried out, "Aaaaaah!"

Shuya frantically wielded the Humanoid Curse, forcing Li Shuhong to dodge repeatedly.

After about twenty rounds, the moment Li Shuhong dodged again, he loosened the chains a little, and his humanoid left leg swung forward, performing a spectacular mid-air split!

I'm outta here!

Li Shuhong looked up just in time, and the Curse toe narrowly missed his nose, giving him a fright.

---Holy crap! I almost got covered in poop!

Section 580, Page 540: Procrastination is getting a bit serious.

Li Shuhong kicked the ground hard and was sent flying a long way.

"Take this!"

He flicked his hand, and several coins hurtled toward Shuya at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Shuya, guided by instinct, wielded the Curse, using its head to shatter coins, then charged forward wielding his strange weapon.

Li Shuhong maintained his distance and launched long-range attacks.

After chasing each other for a while, Shuya made a new move.

"Take this!"

"Aaaaaah!"

He threw it with surprising force, sending the Curse flying like a cannonball.

The chains binding the Curse body rattled as they extended further, the Five-Colored Chain stretching ever onward!

What the hell!

"A meteor hammer."

Shuya had chains wrapped around his hands, which he used to manipulate the Curse humanoid.

Unfortunately, this straightforward move was too easy to see through, and Li Shuhong easily dodged it.

Shuya retrieved the Curse doll whose upper body was stuck in the ground. He swung the chains around, and the Curse doll, its body upright, spun around in sync with him, continuously emitting "Ahhhhh!" sounds.

The scene is absolutely beautiful.

He swung in his Curse human form, staring ahead as if about to attack again, only to find that Li Shuhong was no longer there.

Shuya's Power of Will, which was swirling around him, sensed something amiss behind him, but it was already too late.

"Put that thing away."

"... no problem."

Shuya obediently stuffed the Curse doll back into his body, and Li Shuhong also put away the large gun that was pressed against his back.

"Hehehe."

Shuya let out a cute laugh under Li Shuhong's speechless gaze.

"..."

Li Shuhong's fists were itching to strike.

"---Ahem, what brings the teacher over here?"

Shuya said solemnly.

"I have something to take care of." Li Shuhong said, glancing around. "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."

"Shall we go to my place?"

"Let's go to a bar, I want to drink."

"You seem quite interested, old man."

Shuya and said, "Then let's go to one of our the Alliance's bars; it'll be safer there."

It doesn't matter.

Li Shuhong shrugged.

Shuya had previously seen his subordinates report to their superiors, thus spreading the news of Li Shuhong's arrival in Japan. Even if the people from the Supernatural Bureau were still unconscious, their higher-ups should have known by now.

Their knowledge is equivalent to the knowledge of the Japan supernatural community.

Shuya didn't want to cause any trouble (like them coming to lick his boots), so he simply took Li Shuhong back to his own territory to avoid having to deal with people from other forces.

He summoned Monster to lead him to the nearest bar.

We arrived shortly after walking.

They fought quite a distance away, not in his neighborhood, and he didn't know the way.

"Teacher, please sit wherever you like."

Shuya gestured towards the empty bar.

"They even cleared the area! How embarrassing."

"Of course."

After a brief conversation, Shuya and Li Shuhong sat down.

Li Shuhong only ordered regular beer, and Shuya ordered the same thing.

"Did the teacher come here just to test my skills?"

Shuya got straight to the point.

"That was just a side effect."

He answered.

"So what is the real purpose?"

Shuya the Way.

"I felt something strange coming from your area not long ago, so I thought I'd come over."

Li Shuhong said casually.

"A strange feeling?"

Shuya thought for a moment, "How long ago did you mean by 'not long ago'?"

"Emmm, I can't quite remember. I think it was at the end of last month or the beginning of this month?"

Li Shuhong looked up and thought for a while before giving a somewhat uncertain answer.

Shuya almost spat out his drink. "No way! It's been a month and you're only just arriving? Teacher, your procrastination is really serious!"

"Damn it! I'm busy too! So many young ladies are waiting for me to show them warmth and care!"

Li Shuhong shouted loudly.

Shuya was utterly exasperated; this person was truly shameless.

It's finally clear who taught them to be bad.

What? You're saying Li Shuhong didn't teach him for very long?

... Anyway, that's not important!

Li Shuhong added, "Besides, you're here. I have high hopes for you and believe you can handle anything."

"Oh, no, I'm just a weak, helpless, unlucky guy burdened with Curse."

"You've got to be kidding me. That usage just now was truly eye-opening."

Li Shuhong felt that it was too offensive to look at.

"Anyway, have you received any unusual intelligence recently?"

He was quite concerned about this, mainly because Japan and Great Hua are too close, and if something happened here, there was a high chance that he would be implicated, which is why he came here specifically to check.

... Although it was a month late.

"Unusual intelligence? I don't recall any."

Shuya lowered his head and began to ponder.

If something truly significant were to happen, someone of his status couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

"Yes, at the end of last month, at the beginning of this month..."

He suddenly realized something: Mai's Puberty Syndrome was resolved around that time, wasn't it? Could it be related?

Shuya thought of this and realized it was a good opportunity to ask the teacher if he knew anything about Puberty Syndrome.

What came to your mind?

"I suppose so. Here's what happened..."

Shuya explained what Puberty Syndrome was and what Mai and the others had gone through.

Li Shuhong drank his wine as he listened to Shuya slowly recount his story.

"Puberty Syndrome... disappearance, gender change, sudden adulthood? Are there really such strange things in this world? I've never heard of them before."

Li Shuhong was quite surprised after hearing about these strange things.

"Even the teacher doesn't know?"

Even someone as capable as the teacher didn't notice anything amiss... Shuya increasingly felt that it was truly strange that his Little Senior Sister wasn't affected by Puberty Syndrome.

"This thing shouldn't exist at Great Hua; at least I haven't received any information about it."

Although Li Shuhong doesn't manage affairs, if such strange things happen in Great Hua, someone will definitely tell him.

He said, "But according to you, Puberty Syndrome has happened before, right? If that's the reason, I wouldn't be surprised now."

That's true.

Shuya had to agree with him, "Then I have no leads left."

After he finished speaking, he laughed and said, "Why don't we ask the bureau chief?"

"Alright."

Li Shuhong remained noncommittal, glancing boredly towards the bar entrance.

A few seconds Shuya finished speaking, the door was pushed open by a middle-aged man, with several other figures behind him.

The visitor was Director Abe of the Japan Bureau of the Supernatural Bureau. He had been waiting outside for quite some time, but Li Shuhong hadn't let him in; he didn't dare to come in.

He entered the bar alone, and as soon as he came in, he couldn't wait to plead:

"Spear God, please don't keep moving across regions without permission. It's really putting us in a difficult position."

Shuya laughed and said, "So, teacher, you came without reporting it again?"

"Human freedom, as free as the wind, cannot be hindered by mere rules."

Li Shuhong held his head high.

Shuya chimed in, "Wow, as expected of a teacher, so magnanimous!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Shuhong laughed heartily, while Director Abe's face turned bitter. "Hey, Inoue- kun, don't say that. I can't report this to my superiors."
