103: Frantic Hype

"Sorry, I have pain in both stomachs again."

"Ha, you think my stomach doesn't hurt?"

"..."

"..."

Shuya and Mai- chan remained silent.

After a long silence, Mai- chan finally spoke:

"Hey, Shuya Shuya."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mai? Mai?"

"How about we make a deal? From now on, if you have anything on your mind... please don't tell me anymore, okay?"

"Haha, but I refuse! We're best friends!"

"What about the Little Senior Sister?"

"Damn it! My Little Senior Sister is as beautiful as a fairy, how could I be so heartless as to cheat her and make her suffer?!"

Mai- chan. "???"

Please, have some decency!

Shuya said contentedly, "Speaking of which, it really feels good to share your troubles with others."

"I'm not feeling well!"

Shuya comforted him, "Well then, if you ever have something to complain to me about in the future, I won't hang up on you."

"That's alright... Hmm? Wait a minute."

Mai- chan frowned her pretty brows, noticing the key point. "From what you're saying, you were originally planning to hang up?"

"..."

"Hey! Inoue Shuya, it's me..."

Shuya hung up the phone in a flash.

Ding! Your friend Mai- chan has been kicked out of the group chat for using inappropriate language.

Shuya felt incredibly comfortable, absolutely blissful.

Teasing little girls is just too irresistible.

He went to take a shower and go to bed feeling refreshed.

In the early morning, he breathed in the Tokyo air at four o'clock for the first time in a long time.

Shuya leaped between rooftops to practice martial arts, and took the opportunity to ask Li Shuhong about something.

He had many questions.

For example, the Fox God's strange state, and what those black iron chains are.

On his way to jump, Shuya spared some attention to the situation on the ground and sure enough, he saw the biker gang disturbing the peace.

The police haven't taken any action yet; they're still causing trouble.

But Shuya didn't run into that female boss today.

When they arrived at the Unfinished Building, Li Shuhong was fast asleep on the rooftop.

He was fast asleep.

"Teacher, I'm back!"

Shuya greeted him enthusiastically and loudly.

"It's so noisy! Can't a person get any sleep?!"

Li Shuhong kicked Shuya, sending him flying off the rooftop and onto the ground.

When he climbed back onto the rooftop, Li Shuhong was already sitting up, drinking heavily.

He glanced at Shuya sideways, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? You've changed your tune, kid. Something really happened, huh?"

"What? I knew it... Do you really think I'm that much of a troublemaker?"

Shuya complained.

"No, it's just that, statistically speaking, people like us tend to encounter strange things more often."

Li Shuhong waved his hand and said, "It seems you've encountered something unpleasant? Why don't you tell me and cheer me up?"

It's perfectly normal for this book to alternate between the mundane and the mysterious.

Shuya then recounted what had happened on the Small Island once more.

"Wow, you're something else, liking a woman so much older than you."

Li Shuhong marveled.

"That's it?! That's the key point?!"

Shuya's eyes widened.

"Ahem, okay, just kidding. I know what you want to ask me, but I only have a smattering of knowledge about Strange Arts. As for those profound matters that reach the realm of gods, I'm afraid I can't help you with that."

Li Shuhong shrugged.

Shuya said disappointedly, "Is that so? Never mind then."

He didn't ask any further questions.

Li Shuhong has no obligation to tell him everything.

Even if he knows something but refuses to say it, Shuya can't do anything about it.

Using force to interrogate is even less likely.

Shuya did try to dodge when he was kicked, but he really couldn't.

This clearly demonstrates the vast difference in ability between Li Shuhong and him.

Shuya took a trip to the Divine Domain and thought he had some strength, but it seems he is still far from it.

Unable to get an answer, he practiced for a few hours in frustration and then left.

Before he left, Li Shuhong lazily called out to him:

"Hey kid, I need to talk to you about something."

"What."

Shuya asked.

"Don't think I'm nagging, but you should just give up on that woman. The age gap is too big. You have no chance."

"... I thought you were going to say something."

Shuya unhappy. "I don't mind your nagging, and you shouldn't mind my stubbornness. Just give up and let me give up, but I won't give up."

"Fine, you'd better watch yourself."

Li Shuhong picked at his ear and waved for Shuya to get lost.

"Snort."

Shuya left in anger.

Feeling angry at Shuya opposition to his relationship, Shuya didn't even say goodbye.

Li Shuhong watched Shuya leave and muttered, "Damn it. These weird things are really troublesome. I think this kid is going to be in trouble. I'm an old man, and I don't want to get involved in your mess."

"Although I quite like Kabukicho, I came to Japan to seek refuge and don't want to get involved in any trouble."

"This old man really should... run away. Hmm, I might as well go to another city and have a spontaneous cultural tour!"

"Hahaha! That's it, let's go!"

Li Shuhong laughed loudly, got up, and packed his things to take with him.

And so it drifted away.

He actually guessed a lot about what Shuya had encountered, but he kept quiet to avoid getting into trouble.

He resolutely ran away.

The saying "old age brings wisdom" refers to people like him.

"Shu-chan, welcome back!"

"Hey, let me see... Shu-chan, you look like you've gotten darker!"

After finishing his training, Shuya went straight to the company.

Upon arriving at Inoue Hikoo's office, he was warmly welcomed by his spendthrift parents.

"Dad, your face..."

Shuya pointed speechlessly to the lip print on his face.

Inoue Hikoo wiped it clean without a care in the world.

Shuya didn't want to ask why, nor did he want to understand why they were pretending to welcome him but actually sounding flustered.

He looked at Inoue Hikoo and cut to the chase. "Dad, what's with your propaganda tactics? What kind of ingenious plan are you plotting now?"

Why are you asking me so urgently?

Inoue Hikoo clicked his tongue and said, "Son, didn't our anime just air its twentieth episode?"

"Indeed."

Shuya nodded.

Episode 20 of "Alien Baby Hikari-chan" continues to focus on the past of Nakamura Cho and Uesugi Yuichi.

The two successfully earned a sum of money and were both admitted to universities in Tokyo.

As they expected, the two families had a big argument on the day they confronted their respective parents.

The two were determined to leave, and without much argument, they simply left a letter in the room to inform their families. Then, under the cover of night, they dragged their luggage and left their hometown.

The two made it to Tokyo without incident.

They had already booked a house when they went to Tokyo to take university entrance exams.

They moved in now.

To save money, they only rented a small room.

In other words... yes, these two are living together.

In this episode, Inoue Hikoo also gave Yuzuki a lot of screen time.

On their first day living together, Yuzuki's appearance in the photos was particularly memorable as they sweetly tidied up the room.

That's truly something to celebrate! (laughs)

This entire episode is just pure romance.

Uesugi Yuichi and Nakamura Cho lovingly strive for their dreams.

While studying music, Nakamura Cho also busked on the streets, while Uesugi Yuichi continued to compete in competitions while practicing drawing.

The two lived a blissful life.

Viewers thoroughly enjoyed the entire episode's dose of romance, except for Yuzuki was practically poisoned by it.
