Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Chapter 73 The Train to Nagoya

"Blue and white skinny jeans, they suit your figure quite well." Ye Jingchen glanced at Inuyama Setsuko, raised his hand to straighten the collar of his white shirt, "Lead the way first."

"Hi~" Inuyama Setsuko nodded and smiled. She walked ahead, and the air smelled sweet to her.

Ye Jingchen followed Inuyama Setsuko to a semi-enclosed afternoon tea room.

The siblings, Genji and Erii, sat blankly on the silk cushions of the mahogany chairs side by side, without exchanging much words.

Yuan Zhinv was staring blankly at the coffee table.

Erii was doodling in a small notebook, drawing a little figure holding a sword and waving it around; it was most likely Ye Jingchen.

After bringing Ye Jingchen to her, Inuyama Sezuko silently withdrew. She was considering which pair of jeans to change into—the ripped ones or the normal ones. Should she wear a white shirt or a red crop top that showed her midriff…?

Upon seeing Ye Jingchen arrive, Yuan Zhinü subconsciously stood up from her seat. "What, are you leaving for battle now?"

"Do you enjoy killing?" Ye Jingchen quietly looked into Yuan Zhinu's eyes.

“I…” Yuan Zhinv subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her hands. “I just thought I was going to have to go again. After all, it seems like there’s nothing else to do except this now.”

Ye Jingchen walked to the mahogany chair next to Erii and sat down. He took Erii's hand and looked at Genji, "You don't have to be submissive in order to seek that sense of belonging."

Genjiro, you were born to be a queen, there's no need for you to be so timid.

Do what you want to do bravely. There's nothing much going on here in the Northern Expedition for the time being, so go find the person you're looking for. You've been absent-minded these past few days.

When I got up this morning and received the call, your brother said they were in Nagoya.

"Ye Sang, do you mean I'm going to Nagoya to find my brother and the others now?" Yuan Zhinv was taken aback by Ye Jingchen's words.

Ye Jingchen shook his head and pouted, "I think Sakurai Kogure probably misses you more than your dad and brother."

There probably aren't many women in this world who would risk everything for you.

If you have someone like that, you should cherish her. Go see her; she needs you more than I do.

"Let Inuyama Setsuko arrange it for you."

Genji nodded and stepped back. Actually, compared to facing the brave girl Sakurai Kogure, Genji preferred to follow Ye Jingchen around like a shadow. What Genji didn't know was that as long as he went to find Sakurai Kogure, it would be a perfect answer for her, no matter what.

Minamoto no Wakana needs to find Inuyama Setsuko to get a train ticket to Nagoya...

Ye Jingchen looked at Erii's notebook and asked softly, "What is Erii drawing?"

Erii took a pen and wrote the words "Ye-kun" in her notebook, then drew an arrow pointing to the little figure drawn in the notebook.

"From now until midnight, you'll have free time. Erii, is there anywhere you want to go?" Ye Jingchen reached out and ruffled Erii's red hair.

Erii looked down at her notebook, shook her head, and wrote in the notebook: "No. I'm already very satisfied with building a snowman with Haba-kun at the Skytree."

Is Ye Jun leaving for a long time?

"Why would you ask that?" Ye Jingchen was taken aback, looking at Erii who had her head down.

Erii didn't look up. She wrote in her notebook: "It feels like Ye-kun's tone is like he's fulfilling some wishes before he leaves. There are many similar scenes in the manga."

"There is still a big gap between comics and reality. I can't leave Japan for the time being. Japan is like a huge whirlpool right now, pulling everyone in. No one can escape."

"Once I've finished dealing with things in Japan, I'll probably make a trip to Kassel College." Ye Jingchen leaned back in his mahogany chair, looking up at the ceiling.

Erii's notebook appeared before them, obscuring the ceiling. It read: "So, Erii, can you go to Kassel College with Ye-kun? Probably not... Ye-kun, remember to come to Japan to visit Erii often. Erii will be waiting for you in Tokyo."

Ye Jingchen looked at the words on the notebook in front of him, took the pen from Erii's hand, drew a smiley face and a line of words on the notebook: "I will find a way to solve your bloodline problem. At that time, you will not only be able to speak, but also break free from the control of the family and go wherever you want."

After Ye Jingchen finished writing, he returned the pen to Erii, tilted the chair at a 30-degree angle, and started rocking it.

Erii eagerly put the notebook away, looking at the replies inside with anticipation. The notebook contained her past wishes: to be able to speak and to be free—freedom of speech and freedom of body.

But this is not the answer Erii wants to see now. She hopes that what is written in the notebook is: "I will take you away."

However, according to the cringeworthy translations in those comics, it would probably become "Follow me to wander the world."

Erii grabbed Ye Jingchen's hand as if the person in front of her could disappear like the wind at any moment.

"I don't know which way the wind will blow, the dimness is the brilliance in the dream." Ye Jingchen whistled. He had originally planned to take Erii to the arcade and amusement park during this leisurely afternoon, but he didn't expect Erii to refuse.

Time passes quickly.

Ye Jingchen lay on the mahogany chair, waiting for the daily tasks to refresh.

Erii sat quietly on a mahogany chair to the side, holding Ye Jingchen's hand and looking at his profile, as if she wanted to engrave his face into her mind.

"Knock knock!" Inuyama Tsuki knocked twice on the door.

"Excuse me, Commissioner Ye, Miss!" Inuyama Tsuki entered carrying a tray with two cups of coffee and a small saucer containing white sugar cubes. "I've already placed the coffee on the table!"

Ye Jingchen looked at the white latte art on the coffee table and asked, "Yuan Zhinu should be on the train by now, right?"

Inuyama Tsuki stood with his arms crossed in front of him, taking over Ye Jingchen's words, "If all goes well, we should be on the train now. You might know more about it if you ask Miss Sezuko. She arranged these things in the front row just now."

"Okay, I understand. You can go now." Ye Jingchen nodded.

"Hi!" Inuyama Tsuki tactfully retreated. She sensed that Ye Jingchen didn't seem to like her much. Or rather, he didn't like most of the Snake Clan.

After seeing Inuyama Tsuki retreat, Ye Jingchen stood up from the mahogany chair and turned to Erii. "Let's go, we should go to the Ryoma family. You're all grown up now, have you ever been to the Ryoma family before?"

Erii shook her head; she hadn't been to many places.
