"Hey, brother, are you okay?" Kuri Shannan heard the sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and his cute brows gradually wrinkled.
"Sorry, sorry, I just thought of other things...hehe."
Kuriyama Mai giggled awkwardly. It was too much of a coincidence...
How could she activate this item just right tonight...
"Brother, will you come back tonight? If you come back, I'll wait for you!"
Listening to Konan's slightly excited voice, "This..." Kuriyama Mai sighed slightly.
It's too late to go back tonight, and things have to be done here sooner or later. It's better to seize the first few days to straighten out the relationship, and then go back to accompany her in the next two days.
"There's nothing we can do tonight..." His voice became smaller and smaller, and a slight sigh came from the other end of the phone.
However, Kuriyama Mai immediately changed his depressed mood and shouted excitedly on the phone:
"Let's go to the aquarium together on the weekend! See the big sharks! Then we'll eat yakiniku together!"
"Ah? Burnt bird! Big shark!" Xiaonan's pouted mouth froze, "Really?"
"Of course, your King of Heroes never lies."
"Hehe, if you don't abide by the agreement, I will impose divine punishment!"
"Absolutely! It's just that I can only bother Master to stay in the church for a few days these days..."
"It's okay! Teach her..." Kuriyama Nan saw Kasuga Chinatsu walking towards her with a plate of fruit, and immediately changed her words, "Sister Kasuga, she's fine!"
"Then I'll hang up now. If I finish things here earlier, I'll be able to come back earlier~"
"I will be good, brother, don't worry."
"Good night, Xiaonan."
"Good night, bro."
It wasn't until the beeping on the other end of the phone ended that Kuri Shannan put down the phone next to his ear without feeling satisfied.
Kasuga Chinatsu fed a piece of cut mango to her mouth.
Kuri Shannan pursed his lips slightly, smelled the flavor on it again, and then swallowed it into his mouth.
"So sweet!"
But there was no smile on her face just now.
"Isn't your brother coming over tonight?"
"Hmm..." Xiaonan muttered vaguely.
"This guy is really bad. Did he say what he was up to?"
Xiaonan shook her head helplessly, but seeing the displeased expression on Sister Kasuga's face, she quickly added:
"Brother, he has promised to take me out to play on the weekend. He is just in a hurry for the time being..."
The corners of Kuriyama Nan's eyes seemed to be glowing.
Kasuga Chinatsu quietly soothed her soft blond hair, but with a wry smile on her lips, she thought to herself:
"I really don't know what he is busy with... It's so irresponsible to leave my sister to me like this..."
"However, that guy..." Kasuga Chinatsu looked out the window, "There must be a very important reason... He is such an unpredictable person."
She patted Xiaonan's shoulder gently, "Ignore him for now. After watching this episode, go take a shower and get ready for bed, okay~"
"Okay~" Xiaonan finally squeezed out a smile on her fair face, her eyes staring straight at the TV screen, motionless.

Kuriyama Mai put down his mobile phone, with a hint of melancholy on his face, and asked Takayama Ken in the car:
"Is there any cigarette?"
Gao Shanjian casually took out a Seven Star cigarette from his bag and handed it to him.
After all, the yellow-haired boy in front of him is far from an ordinary high school student.
"Is there a fire?" Kuriyama Mai took the cigarette and smiled awkwardly.
Gao Shanjian waved his hand and quickly handed over the lighter.
Kuriyama Mai lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly said:
"If you encounter any grievances this week, just remember to contact me. Also..." He emphasized his tone, "You can play as much as you want, but don't smoke some things, as those things are hard to save."
"Understood!" Gao Shanjian knew what he was talking about and replied firmly.
"That's good~" Kuriyama Mai showed a faint smile, "You can drive and leave first. See you next week, Ken."
Since I don’t know what nickname to call him yet, it’s better to just call him by his first name.
Gao Shanjian felt a great sense of trust and punched his thigh excitedly.
"Brother Pheasant, see you next week!"
"I'll do my best!"
Kuriyama Mai couldn't help but smile when he heard his cherry blossom-flavored Cantonese, and waved before he slowly drove away in his Honda car.
But he himself was squatting on the curb, smoking a cigarette quietly.
The taste of this Qixing cigarette is too soft, far less intense than the Ziyun I smoked in the toilet when I was studying in my previous life.
He had no choice but to take a big gulp and swallow it all into his lungs before he found some solace from nicotine.
"Why come here?"
"Isn't it good to have ordinary daily life?"
"My sweet Xiaonan, her parents are no longer around, and her only brother has been replaced. Shouldn't she spend more time with her?"
"Why do you have to do this kind of business with your head on your waist?"
He tortured himself internally.
"Why?"
The cigarette bottomed out quickly. He stood up and stepped on the cigarette butt under his feet. Some scenes gradually emerged in his mind.
"Takayama Ken's brothers who are struggling on the margins of society..."
"Those students who were bullied by 'Kunio Inoue'..."
"Fukushima, who was abandoned by R, and Yui Asaka, who is so strong that it makes people feel distressed..."
"Kasuga Chinatsu, who stopped moving forward after being betrayed, and Mitsui Kanon, who could have been an idle rich woman, but worked hard..."
Kuriyama Mai suddenly clenched his fists, remembering that morning two days ago, Teacher Hirai asked him about the tram problem. (Note: See Chapter 13 for details)
"It takes thousands of people like me. A righteous little friend can't do much..."
"To protect their dreams, we have to rely on ourselves alone, not without a team."
He raised his sharp eyes and looked at the faint neon lights of Yanagihara Town in the distance.
"Perhaps now is the time to plant seeds."
"Haruhi-san, I will show you their power."
At this time, he no longer hesitated and walked resolutely towards Yanagihara Town.
[Disguise spray (15 times) purchased]
[Shooting A-Purchased]
[Your heartbeat balance is 960 points]
Kuriyama Mai thought over and over again and bought this bottle of disguise spray on the way. After all, it was too difficult for him to master the same makeup skills as Mitsui Kanon.
Looking at the projected instructions for using the spray, he only needs to pinch his face in advance in the system, and he can easily spray it into the preset appearance, and spray it again to change it back to its original shape.
The only drawback is that it can only work on yourself...
But it’s still better than following the makeup steps that Kanon Mitsui followed on a piece of A4 paper.
Moreover, the identity of Yamazaki Hayato will not meet Mitsui Kanon. As for Takayama Ken, he will not notice whether he is wearing makeup or disguise.
Therefore, there is no risk of system props being discovered for the time being.
Kuriyama Mai pinched her face into the shape of Yamazaki Hayato in the system and lightly sprayed it on the deserted expressway.
Sure enough, the results of Kanon Mitsui's makeup work that took dozens of minutes were fixed into reality in just a few seconds.
With a brand new face, Kuriyama Mai calmly walked into the bustling Yanagigahara Town.
After he put all the information and changed clothes at the property that Mitsui Kanon bought for him on the street, tonight's exploration officially began.
————
At the beginning of the street, Yanagihara Town still had some relatively common restaurants and luxury goods stores, but after walking a few steps, a few 'girls' dressed deliberately in a childish manner came towards him.
"Onii-chan, would you like to eat omelette rice together?"
"My sister is wearing cute pajamas and waiting for her brother at home~"
Seeing their childish makeup and awkward voices, Kuriyama Mai quickly waved her hands and left quickly.
Before he took two steps, a girl in a high school uniform came towards him.
"that……"
The girl hesitated for a while, with a shy expression on her face, and looked at him with big watery eyes.
"I like you! I like you the most!"
"Can you date me?"
Looking at the girl's eager expression, Kuriyama Mai only felt that if he agreed, his waist might be cut off. He shook his head and walked away quickly again.
At this time, two long-eared girls with hot figures dressed like elves from another world came forward.
"Brave, do you want to travel to another world?"
"You can communicate with many little fairy sisters, elf sisters, and the noble female devil~"
Kuriyama Mai only felt that this kind of store that directly promoted business on the street might not be good. This time he ignored it and walked straight over as if he didn't see it.
Perhaps because he saw him rejecting several beautiful girls in succession, a few more fashionable and handsome cowherds immediately came to greet him.
He was so shocked that he shook his head repeatedly and sighed in his heart, isn't there a more serious bar...
At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. A Yamaha R6 suddenly stopped not far from him.
The girl in the back seat slowly took off her helmet, said goodbye to the cyclist reluctantly, and then trotted into a store with no staff standing on the street.
This couldn't be the guy he met on Danan Mountain, so he quickly followed the girl in.
As soon as he walked into the store, two tall sexy girls wearing uniform skirts with the NERV logo at the door immediately bowed respectfully to him at 90 degrees.
"Welcome new and fit individuals to join this glorious fight."
Only then did Kuriyama Mai realize that it was an Eva-themed bar.
The deck positions are all made to look like the cockpit in Eva, and it seems that you can also choose the holographic surround mode.
The decks are also separated by something similar to an At force field.
The bar was decorated to look like the NERV headquarters, and a big sister with long red hair was smiling and waving to him.
"This capable person, what kind of energy supplement does he need?"
She was wearing an extremely hot military uniform, and the tight-fitting skirt that covered her hips showed off her good figure.
Kuriyama Mai didn't care about the fancy packaging. After looking at the drink list hung on a large tactical screen on the bar, he whispered to the sexy young woman:
"A gin and tonic and a glass of frozen milk."
The red-haired young woman looked at him, smiled charmingly, and reminded:
"Dear Competent Person, if this is your first time driving Eva, do you need a dedicated instructor?"
Kuriyama Mai walked up with a curious look on his face, "Exclusive instructor?"
"Yes, you are the only instructor." The red-haired young woman's voice was full of teasing.
As she spoke, she began to scroll on the large screen on the bar table.
"These are all the instructors who are available tonight, especially this one. He has a very nice voice and skin like snow. He will definitely be able to assist you very well in driving Eva."
Kuriyama Mai looked at the candidate recommended by the young woman, who was exactly the same as the girl who had just got off the Yamaha R6.
"Just her."
Let’s start understanding Yanagihara Town from this girl, Kuriyama Mai silently made a decision in her heart.
