at this time.

In front of the Black Sycamore Club.

Several cars stopped in front of the empty store. Mr. Jing and eight or nine members of the Hanchuan family got out of the car. Looking up at the club that had fallen into darkness, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Mr. Jing, this is the shop." A member of the Hanchuan family beside him said, "It is said that two young men and a little girl came to this shop a few days ago. They are all strangers. The two young men have recently become gigolos, and they are very popular. The little girl is about twelve or thirteen years old and works as a waitress here."

"Two young men and a little girl..." Mr. Jing seemed to be thinking, "If one is Yuuri Kurote's daughter and one is Asaba Nanaya... then who is the other one?"

"We don't know, but we searched all over Dotonbori, and this store is the most suspicious."

"What is the origin of the owner of this store?"

"have no idea……"

"have no idea?"

"Yes, this is also one of the suspicious aspects of this store." He said helplessly, "We checked all the information, but we can't find the origin of this store manager. Apart from his flower name Kyousuke, there is no other information. Even the original owner who rented this store has disappeared. No one knows how he appeared..."

"Where's the decoration team? You must have hired a decoration team to build such a big store, right? And the purchase of the tables and chairs inside, didn't you leave your name?"

"No... I can't find any records of the decoration here, nor any purchase records, it's like..."

The gang member paused and said, "It's like this is a haunted house that appeared overnight. It is said that the night before this store appeared, this was still a rough house, and the next morning, the club was already built."

Mr. Jing frowned, "So weird... How long has this store been open?"

"Half a year."

Mr. Jing looked carefully at this unremarkable store, wondering what he was thinking.

"Mr. Jing, the young master asked us to search for the whereabouts of those two people, but they are not here now. What should we do?" asked a member of the Hanchuan family. "Will we come again tomorrow?"

"No, it will be too late tomorrow." Mr. Jing shook his head, recalling what Han Chuan Si had told him before, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, "Smash the doors and windows, and let's go in and search. If they are really hiding here, they will definitely leave some clues."

“What if we can’t find it?”

"Then send someone to keep an eye on them nearby. Once they come back, notify me immediately. We will come over and catch the store manager and interrogate him, and then we will know everything."

"yes!"

…

The brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky, like a gorgeous curtain of light, shining on the faces of all those who looked up at them.

This fireworks festival can be said to be the most grand one in Osaka this year. Both the scale and the quality of the fireworks themselves are unprecedented. Even if you stand on the edge of the city, you can clearly see this magnificent sky.

Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki stood by the river in floral yukatas, holding red umbrellas, admiring the fireworks festival. Everyone around them was watching the fireworks, intoxicated by their beauty.

"Actually, these fireworks are quite beautiful." Lin Qiye couldn't help but say.

"Yes." Amamiya Haruki nodded slightly. "Even if this country is already corrupt, its culture still has a unique charm. However... these are just beautiful outer garments after all. When this outer garment is torn off and the core of theocracy is revealed, everything will be different..."

"Have you ever seen this coat torn?"

"I have seen it." Amamiya Haruki was silent for a moment, "It is very ugly, very disgusting, and very... infuriating."

The two held umbrellas and watched the fireworks quietly. Unlike the smiling onlookers around them, there was no joy in their eyes, only deep pity and sadness...

…

“Isn’t this firework too big?”

Yurina was holding a skewer of barbecue in her hand, standing in the crowded crowd, looking up at the fireworks festival with difficulty. Even so, her little face was full of shock.

Uncle Kyosuke smiled, lifted her up, and put her on his back, "Right? Pretty spectacular, right?"

Yurina suddenly rode on Uncle Kyosuke's back, seeming a little embarrassed, but was soon shocked by the spectacular sight of fireworks above her head and opened her mouth wide.

"Little Yuri." Uncle Kyosuke suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"Are you happy today?"

"I'm happy." Yurina looked up at the fireworks and said with a smile, "I've been very happy since I came here with Brother Nanaya."

"Why?"

Yurina thought for a moment, "Because the atmosphere in the club is very good, Uncle and Xiaojin brother also take good care of me, and there is also Nanaya brother. I really like the gigolo industry, and having the opportunity to work here is a very happy thing in itself."

"Do you like Cowherd very much?"

"Yes, because my mother likes it very much, so I gradually like it too."

Uncle Kyosuke was silent for a moment, "But you have to work here every day, aren't you tired?"

"Although it's really tiring, I'm having a fulfilling and safe life. Compared to the time when I was hiding from thugs in the container, this place is simply heaven!" Yurina opened her arms happily, as if she wanted to embrace the brilliant sky full of fireworks.

Uncle Kyosuke looked at the childish face, standing there like a statue. After a long while, he smiled and asked:

"Do you want to stay here forever?"

"I do." Yurina paused, "But I can't. Grandma Tsuru is still waiting for me to go back to Yokohama. I can't stay here for too long, otherwise she will be lonely."

"Perhaps you could take her over?"

Yurina was stunned, thought about it carefully, and her eyes suddenly lit up!

"That would be great! But, Uncle Kyosuke, would you agree?"

"Yes, I agree."

When Yurina heard this, her face burst into a smile with excitement. She turned sideways and kissed Uncle Kyosuke's bearded cheek hard.

"Thank you, Uncle Kyosuke! Uncle Kyosuke is the best!!" She smiled with narrowed eyes.

Uncle Kyosuke stood there in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he came back to his senses and an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

The fireworks festival ushered in its final outburst, with countless fireworks rushing into the sky, blooming with their own light in the darkness, dispelling the haze and darkness, and bringing a brief but brilliant fireworks display to the world.

The fireworks faded.

The sky fell into darkness and silence again.

Uncle Kyosuke carried Yurina on his back and stood in the crowd of people leaving, motionless.

"Uncle Kyosuke, the fireworks are over, we should go back." Yurina reminded.

"Yeah." Uncle Kyosuke glanced at the dark sky, "...it's time to go back."
