After Jingguang separated from Echizen Ryomasa, he did not return to his room, but quietly wandered in the corridor where the employees rested.

Soon, I saw a doorplate with "Gao Yu" written on it.

Knocked on the door gently,

"who?!"

A warning voice came from inside.

Three heavy and one light, repeated three times.

"Who are you?"

"It's me."

"......"

The person inside was obviously silent for a moment, then suddenly opened the door.

The person inside was Gao Yu Qiuren, his eyes widened in surprise.

"You are... Xiao Jingguang?" The voice is exactly the same, but the face...

Forgot, Ma Jian said that this kid can disguise himself?

This is the first time I've seen this, it's amazing.

"...Just call me Jingguang, Akihito-nii."

Jingguang: I’m really not a child anymore.

"Okay, okay, come in."

Gao Yu Qiuren grabbed Jingguang's hand and pulled him in.

"Why are you here? This is a gambling place and you are underage!"

Jingguang said nothing, just looked at Qiu Ren who was completely unaware of himself.

"...No way?"

Gao Yu Qiuren was very smart, and soon he thought of something.

His eyes widened, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Did that guy ask you to come?"

No way?

In order to catch him, they actually let such a young child come to the gambling den in person? ?

Jingguang said expressionlessly: “Yeah.”

Who else?

"......Feel sorry."

"It's okay. I just want to remind you to be careful tomorrow. I know those guys from Seishun Gakuen. There's a high chance they'll have a falling out tomorrow. You better hide carefully. I'll take care of the rest."

Recalling the scene when he accidentally saw the young man fighting with Ma Jian, he swallowed and nodded. The young man still acted like an elder and carefully warned: "You, be careful and don't commit crimes."

While cursing in his heart: Asami Ryuichi, you sinful fellow!!!

Jingguang's eyes softened, but he still explained, "Don't worry, Qiuren, it's the police who are here."

"oh--"

The young man inside was visibly relieved.

After seeing Jingguang off,

As Gao Yu Qiuren closed the door, the words of Ma Jian flashed through his mind, "If it wasn't for self-protection or hurting someone important to that child, he wouldn't have taken action casually."

When the man talked about the child in front of him, something flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"That kid, to put it nicely, has an indifferent personality. To put it bluntly, he is cold and heartless. He is a good candidate to be a killer or join the underworld. If not... forget it, that guy is impossible."

"If not what?"

He remembered asking out of curiosity.

"If it weren't for the bond, then the child, with the bond, was destined not to completely step into the darkness."

Bond...?

Although he didn't know what it was, when he saw the child's calm eyes, Gao Yu Qiuren felt as if he understood something, but he couldn't put it into words.

Forget it, if you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it.

He fell back on the bed with his arms spread wide. He was always a very open-minded person. He rubbed the quilt comfortably and fell asleep.

the next day,

As expected, the people from Qingxue did not lose to their opponents. Instead, they won every battle.

Fubukihikomaro, who was standing on the high platform, had his mouth twitching, and he could no longer suppress the bulging veins on his forehead.

The last one to come on stage was Ryuga Echizen.

Seeing that Sakurabuki Yukihikomaro couldn't control himself and was about to attack the members of the Qingxue Tennis Club, he hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry, as long as I win, isn't it enough, uncle?"

Sakurabuki Yukihikomaro narrowed his eyes dangerously and warned: "Longya, you have to know what the consequences will be if you don't win..."
