He must win the Crown game so that this moment can be repeated again and again.
Seeing his thoughtful expression, Lu Zizhen's gaze softened. She pouted and began searching through the pile of fish bones for any bits of meat she could eat.
Chapter 75 I've succeeded
A gang leader?
That afternoon, the three returned to Tokyo.
During this trip to Nagano, they explored the Blue Oni Mansion, and Toudou obtained thirty low-level vengeful spirits, one shining soul, Uchiyama Yusuke, and one real evil spirit.
Of course, the most important thing is the crown... He finally has a crown of his own.
As a Fall Guy, how can you be without a crown?
The crown of the Blue Oni grants him a power called Blue Oni Aura, which unintentionally amplifies the oppressive force of his gaze on ordinary people. When he unleashes his full power, a blue light appears in his eyes, further enhancing the oppressive force.
Lu Zizhen jokingly called this "Dou Tang's body trembled, his eyes gleamed, and the common people bowed down in worship." Dou Tang was speechless for a moment, not knowing where to begin to retort.
The next day, it was time to go to school. No matter how powerful you are in front of evil spirits, you still have to go to school, right?
As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw a long line of people standing against the wall. The people in the line had messy hair and looked like delinquents.
Students around them were avoiding them, and the student council members looked embarrassed. But these people didn't seem to be causing trouble, and it wasn't appropriate to kick them out directly, since they had only come to find someone, according to them.
Who are these delinquents looking for?
Dou Tang didn't care. What did it matter to him if they were delinquents? He walked over without dodging or avoiding them, intending to go inside.
This morning, it was still Chang Yichui, the skinny little boy, who was checking people's appearance at the entrance. When Dou Tang saw him, he still waved and greeted him.
"Good morning, Changjun."
When Nagaibuki saw him, she was immediately startled and quickly ran over, saying, "Kiryu-kun! You've finally come! Where have you been this past week?!"
Dou Tang raised an eyebrow, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
After seeing Dou Tang, the group of thugs at the door also came over. Dou Tang was shocked to find that one of them was the mohawk-wearing blond guy he had let go that night. Now he had a shaved head and fine stubble of hair had grown out.
He led his men to Dou Tang, stomped his foot, and made a loud, booming sound.
"Hello, Kiryu-nii-san!"
The colorful potted plants behind him also roared.
"Kiryu-nii-san!! Awesome!!"
Then, the group bowed deeply!
Nagai-buki was stunned, his mouth slightly agape.
The students who came to school nearby were also stunned, staring at the tall man who stood out from the crowd.
Dou Tang was also stunned.
He held up a finger, waving it unconsciously, thinking back, and finally pointed at the mohawk... The bald man said, "Yangping?"
Yangping bowed deeply: "Hi! Kiryu-nii!"
Dou Tang stood there, mouth agape.
...Oh, that explains why I felt like I'd forgotten something.
Oh, so that's what it is...
Nagaibuki looked like he was about to cry, and he looked quite pitiful. If he dressed as a woman, he might be very cute.
He stammered, "Kiryu-kun... Kiryu-kun is a delinquent?! Has he been fighting all week?!"
Dou Tang pressed down on his head to stop his alarm clock-like trembling, and said, "No! I'm not a bad guy! Chang Jun! This is all a misunderstanding! Don't misunderstand!"
So, is this a misunderstanding or not?
Chang Yichui was too afraid to speak, and could only stand beside Dou Tang and look at him.
Dou Tang sighed and looked at Yang Ping, asking, "And why did you come here?"
Yangping replied loudly, "Brother Kiryu! You haven't come to my school to see me for a week. I think you must be a man of your word! You must not have kept our appointment because something happened or you are still angry with Onigashima! So I found out about your school from a friend and brought my friends here today to apologize to you!"
He slightly raised his head to look at Tou Tang's face, then lowered his head again and said, "Please forgive me, Kiryu-nii! I will never be a biker gang again! You are my only brother!"
...Speechless.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Originally, I wanted to teach this guy a lesson so that he would study hard and improve every day from now on.
But what's going on now? Did they bring their underlings to join the new boss? Is this a defection?
Dou Tang was utterly speechless. He looked around; the students and passersby didn't dare meet his gaze and quickened their pace, rushing into the school. Dou Tang could imagine that once they were in their classrooms, they would immediately start sharing their experiences at the school gate with their friends…
What did you see or hear?
Of course, it would be something like "Ghost classmate Kiryu Toudou is actually the leader of a delinquent group" and "A biker gang led his underlings to surrender to Kiryu Toudou"!
Dou Tang looked at Chang Yibuki beside him.
Chang Yi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and blinked.
Dou Tang forced a smile: "Would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"
Nagaibuki looked dazed and nodded as if twitching.
"Mmm... Kiryu-kun... Kiryu-kun, I believe you."
You don't believe me! You just wanted to call me Kiryu-nii, didn't you?
Dou Tang was furious. He looked at Yang Ping and shouted, "Stand up straight, all of you!"
Yang Ping snapped to his feet, and the delinquents behind him followed suit. Dou Tang said irritably, "Damn it... look at your hair! It's a tangled mess! Yang Ping! Make them all clean up this tangled hair by today!"
He waved his hand:
Then get back to school, you all!
"Yes!" Yangping answered loudly, then suddenly lowered his voice by eight octaves and asked, "Um, Kiryu-nii, do you mean... you accept us?"
I'll never accept anything... What good are you to me? You can't even beat me, and if you encounter evil spirits, you're just asking for trouble!
Although he thought this to himself, Dou Tang still added, "Listen, I'm not a delinquent. I'm just an honest student. If you choose to listen to me, at least we can be friends."
"If you don't listen, I don't care, understand?"
Yangping nodded and said, "But Kiryu-nii is so strong, how could he just be a student? Kiryu-nii, you're already famous in Tokyo's high school circles."
He chuckled sheepishly, "A lot of delinquents from high schools want to cause trouble for Kiryu-nii-san, Kiryu-nii-san, you see..."
Dou Tang went up and smacked Yang Ping on the head: "Look at you, you big-headed idiot, why should they ask me for help? What does this have to do with you?"
Yang Ping covered his head. He had witnessed Dou Tang's methods before. Although the person in front of him was hitting him so hard that his head was throbbing, he thought it was already a very gentle thing to do.
"Alright, alright, Kiryu-nii... then let's leave for now..."
Dou Tang nodded, then added, "Also, don't come looking for me at school."
Yangping nodded, seemingly somewhat disappointed: "I understand, Kiryu-nii..."
Chapter 76: Ordinary Campus Life, That's it!
After sending the delinquents away, Dou Tang entered the school and walked into the classroom under the strange looks of the people. The classroom, which was noisy and bustling just a second ago, suddenly fell silent, and the small groups of people immediately fell silent.
...It's all over.
It seems that by lunch break, my reputation as a troublemaker will have spread throughout the entire school.
The peaceful life is gone forever.
However, Tou Tang didn't seem to mind and obediently returned to his seat to attend class. Kume Chinatsu didn't come to school today; she was probably filming a commercial or something. She's been quite busy lately.
The small rumors that started in Ikebukuro have taken off, and gossip about Toudou and Kume Chinatsu is everywhere in the school. Before they knew it, Toudou, who wanted to stay out of the world, had become the center of attention at school.
During breaks, whenever he was around, the atmosphere in the classroom became incredibly oppressive and rather boring, so Dou Tang simply left the classroom and returned just before class was about to start.
During his lunch break, he made time to go to the faculty office.
Just as Tominaga Kyoko was about to eat, she saw Toudou appear at the door, her eyes lit up, and she waved: "Kiryu-kun, come here, come here."
Toudou nodded and walked into the office, coming to stand in front of Tominaga Kyoko. Tominaga Kyoko ruffled her red hair and smiled curiously: "Kiryu-kun, you suddenly took leave last week, has the matter been resolved?"
When facing people who genuinely care about him, Dou Tang is relatively less indifferent. He smiled and said, "Thanks to the teacher, things went very smoothly and have been completely resolved."
Kyoko Tominaga nodded, then added, "By the way, those people at the gate this morning... seemed to be looking for Kiryu-kun? This matter is quite worrying for the teachers. Do you need a teacher to step in and help you sort it out?"
She smiled with narrowed eyes, looking rather smug, patting her chest like a big sister, making one suspect that she might reveal her tattoos at any moment and say something like, "From now on, the big sister will protect you."
Of course, the other teachers didn't mean it that way. They weren't worried about Kiryu Toudou at all; they just wanted to know... whether Kiryu Toudou would cause trouble for the school.
Upon hearing this, Dou Tang looked around and, sure enough, although the teachers didn't say anything out of politeness, they still glanced at him from time to time, clearly showing some concern.
...They are all good teachers, though.
So he raised his voice, making sure the whole office could hear him, and said, "Please rest assured, teacher! There was a misunderstanding between those people and me, but it has been resolved. They will never come again, and they will not cause any trouble."
Kyoko Tominaga chuckled and nodded in satisfaction: "You really know how to talk."
Clearly, she understood the meaning behind Dou Tang's words; he was telling the teachers not to worry.
fair enough.
"Alright then, Kiryu-kun, is there anything else? If not, go take your lunch break."
Dou Tang said goodbye, turned around and walked out of the office, closing the door behind him. The office behind him immediately erupted in noise, but he didn't care and left as his classmates made way for him.
He bought bread and drinks at the school supermarket, then walked up the stairs, intending to eat on the rooftop, since it was the quietest place there.
The stairwell on the top floor was still as chaotic as ever, with even more clutter. The clutter obscured some graffiti on the wall, and four people were squatting on the ground, secretly smoking.
As Dou Tang stepped onto the steps, the four people were immediately stunned.
The cheap cigarettes smelled pungent, and he frowned slightly. Immediately, the four men stood up, threw their cigarette butts on the ground, and stomped them out, shouting, "Hello, Kiryu-nii!"
The sound was so loud that after the four people greeted each other, Dou Tang could clearly hear the hurried footsteps of the students on the floor below. It seemed that those people were frightened... They probably thought that the delinquents were holding a gathering in the stairwell.
……
?
Dou Tang suppressed his anger and took a deep breath.
"Who gave you permission to say that?"
The leader shrank back and said, "Brother Kiryu, you're the one who defeated Onigashima, right? Your deeds have spread far and wide..."
Dou Tang said seriously, "I have nothing to do with those rumors, and you don't need to call me 'Big Brother.' We have no connection whatsoever, understand?"
"The only relationship is that you are Kume Chinatsu's friends, and I am Kume Chinatsu's friend, nothing more."
The leader of the delinquents nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, from now on we'll call Kume-nee 'Big Sister'..."
Dou Tang suddenly reached out and covered his mouth, veins bulging on his forehead: "If you dare to say that I have a relationship with her, you can forget about having any hair on your head."
A bead of cold sweat trickled down the bad guy's face. He didn't dare to meet his gaze, swallowed hard, and nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
So complicated……
Letting go, Dou Tang stopped talking and went upstairs. The door to the rooftop was still broken, and no one had come to fix it.
He opened the door and went up to the rooftop. The four people behind him seemed to have slipped downstairs. Dou Tang ignored them, sat down against the wall, and began to eat his lunch.
The peaceful campus life is over!
Wuwuwuwuwu...
Dou Tang silently wiped away two tears, then took out his phone. He wasn't someone who liked to look at his phone, so he hadn't paid attention to the messages he received on his phone for a long time.
When I opened LINE, I was greeted with a bunch of message notifications from Chinatsu Kume.
Upon opening the emails, I found mostly greetings and anxious inquiries, such as asking where he was and why he wasn't at school.
Dou Tang took a bite of bread, thought for a moment, and decided to make a phone call to check.
The phone rang for a long time, and was only answered when it was about to hang up automatically. Kume Chinatsu's energetic voice came from the other end of the line: "Kiryu-kun! You've finally appeared!"
Dou Tang peeled off the bread wrapper with one hand, then took a bite and said while chewing, "Hmm... I saw your message. Sorry, I had a rather urgent trip before and didn't have time to tell you."
Chinatsu Kume breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Kiryu-kun, you didn't run into anything, did you? I heard from some friends that... that you got caught up in a biker gang conflict? There are even rumors that you single-handedly defeated an entire biker gang organization!"
"These rumors are really strange... No matter how powerful a person is, they can't be that terrifying, especially since Kiryu-kun has such a gentle personality... At most, he just looks a bit fierce!"
