They had their last dinner in Genova, a restaurant on the Hakodate Mountain. There were only three window seats open for reservation everyday and the buffet cost 8800 Yen per person.
To be honest, this was nothing to the leader of the Collection of Gods. However, Lu Shu insisted that he would treat them a meal.
Sakurai Yaeko did not reject him as she knew that when Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao said that they wanted to take their leave, Lu Shu had no reason for staying behind.
At the end of the day, this trip still had to be ended early.
It felt as though most of the things in life would not change because of one’s motivation in life. One could only try one’s best.
Sakurai Yaeko prepared a grand school festival and fireworks for Lu Shu, making his journey with the Collection of Gods much more fantasy-like. She prepared everything to the best of her abilities and had no complaints.
Some people viewed love as a form of investment. The more they invested, the more rewards they wanted to get. However, Sakurai Yaeko felt that it should not be the case.
Nobody took notice of whether the exquisite dishes were tasty or not. Sakurai Yaeko also did not ask the Collection of Gods to book the entire restaurant. Therefore, there were many customers and hence was rather lively.
In the dining room, Wen Zaifou occasionally argued with Yu Fuyao and Lu Shu. Meanwhile, Sakurai Yaeko looked at them while smiling, seemingly trying to remember every single scene in her heart.
When they wanted to bid them farewell, Sakurai Yaeko purposely changed the topic as Lu Shu did not officially announce his leave yet.
However, all good things must come to an end. Lu Shu said as he looked at Sakurai Yaeko, “After they leave, I will also return back to the Heavenly Network...”
“Hmm.” One could barely see any changes in Sakurai Yaeko’s expression. She suddenly smiled. “Promise me, if I go over, you will treat me to good food.”
Lu Shu smiled after being stunned for a moment. “Yes, I will.”
When the four of them walked out of the restaurant, Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao said, “We will take our leave now. Thank you for hosting us.”
After that, they turned and disappeared into thin air.
The air on the Hakodate mountain was fresh. Stars blinked in the sky as though nobody had came before.
Lu Shu took a glance at Sakurai Yaeko. “I shall take my leave too.”
If there was no reason for him to stay, he should not stay any longer.
He knew that an expert with a rank higher than rank one had reached Hakodate. However, Lu Shu knew that that expert came for him. Or rather, the entire Earth’s slavery plan was targetting Lu Shu.
You Mingyu said that he had found out where that person lived. Before Lu Shu left, he would kill him first to prevent him from hurting Sakurai Yaeko.
Of course, he did not need to tell Sakurai Yaeko that, to prevent her from worrying unnecessarily.
Sakurai Yaeko lowered her head and held the hem of her white shirt. “Lu Shu-kun.”
“Hmm?” Lu Shu turned back to look at Sakurai Yaeko.
“You have to take care of yourself.” Sakurai Yaeko suddenly looked up and smiled. She looked like a sakura flower that bloomed in the middle of the night, refreshing one’s soul.
“Hmm.” Lu Shu smiled and nodded as he flew towards the city of Hakodate. He wanted to work with You Mingyu to cut the Gordian knot!
The expert settled down in a small hotel after reaching Hakodate. You Mingyu only managed to find out where he was staying based on intelligence reports. Lu Shu landed from the sky and You Mingyu who was hiding in a dark corner walked out and both of them looked for the room.
When Lu Shu reached the front of the door, he knocked on it and said, “Hello, food delivery... Oh, you may not know what food delivery means.”
Then, Lu Shu hit the wooden door with his fist. As the wooden door broke into pieces, Lu Shu saw the man in a windbreaker. He had already whipped out his saber from his windbreaker!
Sakurai Yaeko stood on the Hakodate Mountain and laughed to herself. “You must have been here for a long time. Why didn’t you come out to greet us? Waiting for Lu Shu-kun to leave before you attacked, are you afraid that you can’t beat him?”
At this moment, a young man walked out from the dark behind Sakurai Yaeko. He was wearing a strange outfit that did not fit into the modern society.
Sakurai Yaeko was stunned for a moment. “It’s not the two of them.”
At this moment, Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao stood quietly in the space above the sky. Wen Zaifou suddenly said, “You want him to return to the Luniverse. However, did you think about how much he will hate you, so much that he will kill you?”
Yu Fuyao said calmly, “I said before, nobody shall be able to get the thing I am unable to get. You have to remember your promise.”
Their promise could be traced back to their childhood. Wen Zaifou was saved from the well but Yu Fuyao was still buried in the ruins. When she was young, Yu Fuyao did not hate Wen Zaifou because she got lesser benefits than him. In fact, both of them had a good relationship.
Back then, Wen Zaifou who was brought away by the old King of Gods felt that he owed Yu Fuyao something. If he insisted on following the old King of Gods into the ruins instead of assuming that Yu Fuyao had died, the ending would probably be different. Therefore, Yu Fuyao owed him a favor.
To return this favour, Wen Zaifou would not allow anyone to save Sakurai Yaeko and he would not tell Lu Shu who killed Sakurai Yaeko. After tonight, both of them would no longer owe each other anything.
There were very few people in the Luniverse who knew that Yu Fuyao was Wen Zaifou’s older sister. Only a handful of people knew that.
“Don’t you think that she’s very cute?” Wen Zaifou’s tone was emotionless. “How did you bear to kill her, there are 10,000 ways to force him back to the Luniverse, why did you have to use this method?”
Yu Fuyao’s voice suddenly turned cold. “Who ever pitied me? I waited 3000 years for him until everyone around him had left. Yet, he still refuses to look me in the eye. Shouldn’t you ask him instead of asking me?”
Then, Sakurai Yaeko suddenly whipped out the ghostly dagger from her sleeves. However, the young man in front of her did not seem to be surprised.
Wen Zaifou sighed, “When did this master complete his training? I know that you never touched your male companions before. A few hundred years ago, your male companions mysteriously disappeared and rumors had it that you killed all of them. However, I found their remains in the end. They... must be the underlings brought up by you?”
Only Wen Zaifou bothered to investigate this carefully. He even took the effort to kidnap three of Yu Fuyao’s patrons and killed Yu Fuyao’s letter deliveryman. However, he never managed to find where the missing male companions went.
People in the Luniverse thought that Yu Fuyao was a vicious woman. However, only Wen Zaifou felt that his sister’s mind was too deep, such that nobody could read her mind.
Yu Fuyao smiled gently. “You guys have experienced peace for too long.”
