Fuuto: Oho!
"NO!"
"No won't work!"
"Caw! Cong Yu, save me!"
Hearing the sounds of playful fighting coming from Yaochuan Guang's room, Cong Yu tilted her head in confusion. "Lantian Zhu?"
Hmm, it's probably the wind...
--
Finally, Yaochuan Guang realized that Little Lan was completely unreliable... but might be dependable in crucial moments.
But in normal circumstances, calling her a cunning strategist would be giving her too much credit... She's a pure traitor and a spy!
Only Cong Yu- chan is a truly loyal subject!
(Cong Yu:...)
So, while heating up breakfast for Xiao Cui, she casually asked Cong Yu—
"Cong Yu- chan, where did you get your ring?"
When Yaochuan Guang asked this question, Cong Yu yawned and looked away from the silly prank show on TV.
Lantian Zhu, who was panting heavily to the side, seemed indifferent on the surface, but he was actually glancing at Cong Yu, curious about her answer.
"Hmm? A ring? It was a gift from a friend."
Cong Yu gave a simple answer.
If Qili knew that the King of Wind City said this, she would be incredibly moved and would then try her best to command the association.
Yaochuan Guang: "A gift from a friend?"
Lantian Zhu: "A gift from a friend?"
Xiao Cui: "A gift from a friend?"
"... Why are the three of you so in sync?"
Thinking this, Cong Yu nodded and ate the unwrapped biscuits on the coffee table. "Yes, that's right."
Regarding this...
Yaochuan Guang: "A friend who will give you a ring?"
Lantian Zhu: "Your friend gave you a ring?"
Xiao Cui: "Brother Cong Yu, is your friend a man or a woman?"
"..." Cong Yu pondered for a moment and felt that the ring couldn't really be considered a gift from Qili... According to her, it was a case of using someone else's gift to present something to someone else.
If you think about it that way, the ring that broke out of the Monster's body could be considered a gift from the Monster... even though it didn't intend to give a gift.
"It was a gift from my animal friend."
As Cong Yu said this, she laughed and tossed the ring in her hand, saying, "You probably don't know, but I have a ton of friends!"
"..." The fact that they all had a lot of friends was something they all knew...
Judging from the number of likes and comments on her Twitter, Cong Yu Jiang's social skills are beyond what most people imagine, including many influential figures.
But the idea of having animal friends is really beyond my expectations.
Lantian Zhu was very surprised, but she believed Cong Yu's words. "If he would steal a ring to give to you, is your friend a crow? A raven?"
Yaochuan Guang's face was ashen...
"Cong Yu- chan... has a dog outside, boohoo--"
Xiao Cui patted her, comforting her. "Sister Yaochuan Guang, don't be sad. I'll talk to Brother Cong Yu for you later."
Cong Yu: The tea flavor is very strong.
"..." But how could you actually believe that?
Am I the kind of person who... has such strong social skills that I know even stray dogs on the street and can ask them for directions or help finding people?
Three people: Hello, yes.
Chapter 143 Wind City: Oh ho!
"Cong Yu -chan! My monthly exam results are in! Top ten in the class... I passed all subjects, hehehe!"
When Yaochuan Guang said that, Cong Yu looked up at her... with an expression that seemed to say, "I'm amazing, aren't I? Come and praise me."
"As expected of you, Yaochuan Guang."
Cong Yu read it so fluently, responding in a calm tone. "Even an idiot can do it if they want to."
Yaochuan Guang:...
You didn't have to add "even if he's an idiot" before it.
"Well, never mind... that's just the kind of person you are!"
Yaochuan Guang felt she completely understood Cong Yu now. She chuckled and reached out to pat Cong Yu's head, "You're such a tsundere, Cong Yu- chan! If you want to praise me, just be honest and do it—"
The students around him chuckled in response.
Cong Yu shook her head speechlessly, continuing to tap on her phone while casually replying, "If you think so, then it is."
This conversation, conducted within the context of Japan and without any discernible sarcastic or ironic meaning, then...
"When we get back, I'll give you a few more practice tests to reinforce your knowledge and prevent your grades from slipping."
Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yaochuan Guang's face immediately fell... The sea of questions strategy is truly terrifying.
However, Cong Yu- chan is very clever; she can roughly guess what will be on the test, and her grades have improved significantly.
So Yaochuan Guang quickly perked up.
This is perhaps what makes Japan special... Not only in Wind City, but even in other universities, teachers rarely do similar things.
For example, "explaining examples" and "highlighting key points".
Joyful education has completely reduced the burden of education, made learning resources scarce, and significantly increased the cost of education.
There's a reason why there are so many VTubers.
Of.
"Hehe, I love Cong Yu- chan so much!"
Yaochuan Guang said this in public with great confidence, unintentionally stopping the little bitch in the class from getting close to Cong Yu.
In fact, thanks to Yaochuan Guang, Cong Yu has been less bothered by strange children lately... Could this be considered a declaration of sovereignty?
Cong Yu didn't quite understand.
But this feeling isn't bad either...
Don't misunderstand, he meant the aspect where no one bothers him, not the aspect marked by Yaochuan Guang.
As for Cong Yu, who remained silent, Yaochuan Guang looked at his phone curiously. "Cong Yu- chan, what are you playing? Why aren't you saying anything...?"
"..."
"Smack!"
In response, Cong Yu placed her hand on her phone screen, blocking Yaochuan Guang's view, and shook her finger at her: "Don't look around--"
Yaochuan Guang glanced at the Linx page in Cong Yu's hand, and she immediately became alert, showing some possessiveness. "Cong Yu- chan, who are you chatting with?"
To Yaochuan Guang's question, Cong Yu smiled and simply replied, "Um... a friend, a friend from North Capital."
"..."
"North Capital?"
Yaochuan Guang was somewhat surprised; she was shocked. "North Capital already fallen? Is there still internet there?"
Cong Yu: "???"
"Etc..."
This time, it was Cong Yu who was surprised. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "In your imagination, what is the current situation in North Capital?"
"..." Yaochuan Guang was stunned.
"Um... the ground is covered in snow and ice? And people are all bundled up in thick clothes and hiding in round igloos, going out every day to drill holes in the ice to fish."
"..." Very good. In Yaochuan Guang's current imagination, the current North Capital is already equated with the appearance of the Arctic.
"You're talking about Eskimos! The snow in the North Capital just a little heavier! You idiot, you're way too stupid!"
Yaochuan Guang wasn't angry at Cong Yu's insults. Instead, he chuckled and looked at Cong Yu, resting his chin on his hand.
Even so, Cong Yu- chan, your friends are quite widely distributed... You even had foreign friends before.
As she said this, Yaochuan Guang tried to peek at Cong Yu's phone screen, but failed. She asked, "So what are you talking about?"
"..."
"Cong Yu- chan?"
"A friend of a friend... who is also my friend, is a wanderer in Japan. He's planning to come to Wind City with my other Japan friends and asked me to show them around."
Cong Yu said this simply, and seeing Yaochuan Guang's interest piqued, he preemptively refused before the other could say anything, "Don't even think about coming along."
"On the one hand, I'll take the day off so you can focus on your studies at school; on the other hand... those are all my friends."
"Two of them have recently become a bit awkward in their relationship because of certain things, and your visit might make things even more awkward."
As Cong Yu said this, she poked Yaochuan Guang's forehead. "Sorry, Yaochuan Guang... maybe next time--"
Regarding this...
o(￣ヘ￣o)
Yaochuan Guang: "Okay--"
After Yaochuan Guang gave up, Cong Yu typed a reply to Snow Woman... about the four friends coming to Wind City.

Three days ago:
[Snow Woman: Give my Twitter a like.]
[Cong Yu: Okay.]
--
Yesterday:
[Snow Woman: Takemikazuchi's hair has grown out.]
[Cong Yu: Haha, that's really good news.]
[Snow Woman: That's true. He seems much more energetic now, that's great.]
[Snow Woman: She seemed to be contemplating suicide earlier.]
[Cong Yu: Yeah, I've really gone too far down... Is Takemikazuchi with you now?]
[Snow Woman: Yes, Shuten is here too. They said they want to learn how to govern the royal territory. Tamamo -Tamamo seems to be coming tomorrow as well.]
[Cong Yu: They... well, I can't really comment.]
[Snow Woman: I don't know what to say either.]
[Snow Woman: But they'll probably get bored soon... After all, even monsters have a tough time after becoming queen.]
[Cong Yu: Um, probably?]

10:53
[Snow Woman: Everyone's saying they want to go to Wind City to visit you, do you have any plans for tomorrow? Will you be very busy lately?]
[Cong Yu: I've always been pretty free... But why the sudden urge to come to Wind City? I know Kyoto is pretty free there too.]
