Texas looked at Jiang Jing seriously and said sincerely, "Boss, please don't do this. You've already done us a huge favor by saving us. Add to that the shelter you provided and the ability to cure their infectious disease, and we can never repay you for it."
"If the boss were to leave the contribution points that should rightfully belong to the boss to the team, it would make us very uneasy."
“Yes, boss, we already owe you too much. We can’t accept this, and we must strictly abide by the contract from now on.” Exusiai’s attitude was also very firm in her disagreement.
However, Jiang Jing rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "I'm the boss, so it's settled."
"Can……"
"Alright, if you feel you can't handle this, then consider the contribution points you've earned this time as my investment. All of you, work harder and break through to the Silver Moon Rank as soon as possible."
"To be honest, you are too weak right now. You are of no help or use to me at all," Jiang Jing said bluntly.
"Tell Chen and the others that once the contribution points are settled, everyone should go to the association's logistics department to exchange them for a suitable set of weapons and defensive equipment."
“I’m investing in you guys now. If you die early, wouldn’t my investment be wasted?”
"boss."
When faced with the domineering Jiang Jing, the two girls felt not anger when he said they were too weak and useless, but instead felt a sense of guilt and deep emotion.
Having witnessed Jiang Jing effortlessly annihilate both Silver Moon-level beings comparable to gods and world-destroying King-level demons, they knew this was a fact.
Even when Jiang Jing took them in later, some people calmly analyzed that Jiang Jing only took them in because he felt sorry for them. This is also one of the reasons why Talulah and the others ran to the battlefield as soon as they settled down.
Jiang Jing, who had casually done something to win people's hearts, stood up: "Alright, that's enough for today. It's getting late, and I have to go to school soon. I'll come over to see you after school this afternoon and treat the two of them for their infectious diseases."
"I came back and did some research, and we already have a way to cure the infectious disease." After saying that, Jiang Jing cut off the words that the two Texas people were about to say, as if to see them off.
After seeing the two from Texas off, Jiang Jing turned around and saw Shiina Mashiro quietly watching him from behind. Although her pretty face was expressionless, she tilted her head in her signature way, and her beautiful phoenix eyes sparkled.
His expression, as if he were saying, "I'm so curious, tell me already," was all too obvious.
"Don't look at me like that. Let's go. It's getting late. I'll tell you on the way."
"Okay." Shiina Mashiro was very obedient.
After changing their shoes, the two walked out of the yard one after the other. It was almost nine o'clock, and there were hardly any students going to school or even office workers rushing to work on the road.
However, when they passed by Sakura Apartments, Jiang Jing and his companion saw Chtholly carrying them on her back while hanging clothes to dry in the courtyard. They couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Chtholly, didn't you go to school today?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Chtholly turned around and smiled when she saw Jiang Jing and Shiina. "Kanda-senpai, Shiina-senpai, you're late again today."
Chtholly and the others who lived next door had heard about Jiang Jing and Shiina Mashiro, who deliberately arrived late every day, ever since the day Akame met her.
Although they didn't understand why, Chtholly and the others thought it must be a special hobby of the strong.
After all, don't all the powerful characters in novels and animations have various quirks? Some like to act like fathers everywhere, some like to stand on rooftops and act profound, and some like to act like old grandfathers everywhere.
Therefore, Jiang Jing's habit of being late was considered quite 'normal' by Chtholly.
“Yesterday, Reimu Hakurei called and said that there was new progress in her research on our physical problems. She asked us to stay home today and wait for her to cooperate, so we all took the day off.”
"Yeah."
However, Jiang Jing felt that the greedy and lazy shrine maiden was working so hard not only because she was interested in the life-or-death constitution of Chtholly and the other golden fairies, but also because she wanted to get the 100 million yen bonus that Kazami Yuuka had promised her.
Jiang Jing nodded to the blue-haired girl: "Then we'll go to school first, Chtholly, you go ahead with your work."
"Take care, senior." After watching Jiang Jing and the other person leave with a smile, Chtholly turned around and continued hanging up the clothes.
She loves her life now. Every morning she gets up to make breakfast for Nephren and the others, and then the three of them go to and from school together, go to the supermarket to buy groceries together, and on their days off they either stay home to read books or watch TV, or go out for a walk together.
There was no daily combat training, nor was there any order to go with the spaceship to kill beasts, and then not knowing when they would die on the battlefield, or when their bodies reached their limit and they would die after opening the Fairy Land.
Although sometimes she also misses what will happen to the remaining young golden fairies after they disappeared from their original world.
However, their physical constitution inherently limits their potential; the stronger they are, the faster they die. Let alone breaking through to the Silver Moon level to find their way home in the void, they can't even break through to the Four Star level.
So after accepting this reality, the three of them completely gave up the idea of going back and only wanted to live out their short lives in this world in peace.
"Besides the seemingly peaceful society, there's an association that manages all the extraordinary individuals in the world..." As Jiang Jing strolled towards the school, he systematically explained the knowledge of the extraordinary world to Shiina Mashiro.
As they approached the school, Shiina Mashiro gained a clear understanding of that world: the heavens, the underworld, the forbidden battlefield, and so on.
"Now you have a sense of how powerful I am, right?" Jiang Jing, who was holding Shiina Mashiro's back with one hand and holding her hand with the other, looked up at the sky with an air of utter awesomeness.
"Yes, Sorata is amazing." Shiina Mashiro nodded seriously.
Looking at Shiina Mashiro's indifferent expression, Jiang Jing, who had failed to show off, rolled his eyes: "If you were to show an admiring smile on your face and say 'Wow, Sorata, you're so amazing, I admire you so much,' I think it would seem more sincere."
"Should it be like this?" Shiina Mashiro tilted her head, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Although she was surprised that the world had such a wonderful and vast side, Shiina Mashiro still felt that things were fine as they were, and she wasn't very interested in things like cultivating to improve her strength or flying and teleporting.
Just as Jiang Jing and his companion stepped into the school gate, the bell rang to signal the end of the first class. The uncle sitting in the guardhouse, who saw the two of them late every day, could only shake his head speechlessly.
After changing her shoes, Jiang Jing handed Zhenbai's backpack to her and reminded her, "You can't eat the bento box inside beforehand, okay? Lunch is only lunch if you eat it at noon."
Based on his understanding of Shiina Mashiro, now that her body is beginning to transcend, and she no longer has the worry of having to support herself, he might find that the meat in her lunchbox has disappeared at lunchtime.
"Don't worry, Sorata, I'll endure the hunger even if I'm hungry. I won't eat your lunchbox or your meat," Shiina Mashiro earnestly assured him.
"Really?" Jiang Jing was clearly somewhat doubtful.
"Kong is so annoying, he doesn't trust people."
Jiang Jing simply smiled at Shiina Mashiro's dissatisfaction: "Alright, I believe you."
After parting ways with Shiina Mashiro, Jiang Jing did not go upstairs to his classroom, but instead headed towards the first-year classroom.
"Haha... Let me tell you, when I got home yesterday, I watched a TV series and I laughed so hard when I saw Ninomiya, covered in bandages, chasing his teacher across the street in the rain and getting hit by a car."
At the classroom door, just as Jiang Jing walked over, he saw Fujiwara Chika and three female classmates standing in the corridor, happily chatting about their topics.
"Fujiwara-kun," Jiang Jing called out to Fujiwara Chika, who had her back to him.
Fujiwara Chika turned her head and saw Jiang Jing, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face: "It's Kanda-senpai."
Just as Fujiwara Chika was about to call out "Kanda-sensei," she realized that calling a senior teacher at school would be strange and would only make things worse, so she quickly changed her mind.
"Fujiwara-kun, you're here at the perfect time. Could you please call Shinomiya-kun out for me? I need to talk to her about something." Jiang Jing smiled as he looked at the interesting pink-haired girl in front of him.
"Looking for Kaguya? No problem, Kanda-senpai."
As she spoke, Fujiwara Chika walked to the classroom door a few steps away and called out loudly to Shinomiya Kaguya, who was sitting in her seat and helping two classmates with their homework: "Kaguya, Kanda-senpai said he needs to talk to you."
Immediately, most of the students who hadn't left the classroom looked over, their eyes filled with curiosity as they gazed at Jiang Jing, who stood speechless behind Fujiwara Chika at the door.
Jiang Jing didn't want to attract too much attention, so he asked Fujiwara Chika to go in and call Shinomiya Kaguya out. Who knew that the girl would actually stand at the door and call out.
In Japan, a boy running to another classroom to find a girl would easily be misunderstood by many, although Jiang Jing didn't care.
The astute Kaguya Shinomiya, seeing the speechless expression on Eijiro's face behind Chika Fujiwara, roughly guessed what had just happened. She then gave a polite smile to her two classmates beside her.
"Chie, Asako, I have to go out for a bit. I'll explain this to you in detail in the next class."
"It's alright, Shinomiya-kun, you can go ahead. But I heard that Kanda-senpai, a second-year student, already has someone he's dating. Don't be fooled." The girl named Chie glanced at Jiang Jing, seemed to recognize him, and quickly whispered a reminder to Shinomiya Kaguya.
"Yes, Shinomiya-kun, you really need to be careful."
Another person, also named Yako, whispered mysteriously, "I heard that this Kanda-senpai not only dates Shiina-senpai from the art department, but also has that kind of relationship with the mysterious head of the research club, Gremory, in front of Himejima-senpai."
Although her upbringing made Kaguya Shinomiya disgusted by such baseless rumors, she didn't show it on the surface, politely smiling and nodding.
"Don't misunderstand, Kanda-senpai has something important to discuss with me. Alright, I'll go out for a bit."
"Kaguya, Kanda-senpai, can I come along?" Just as Kaguya Shinomiya walked over, Chika Fujiwara blinked her big, watery eyes at them.
"No." Before Jiang Jing could speak, Kaguya Shinomiya refused outright.
"Ugh... Kaguya, you're not cute anymore. I'm just curious."
However, Kaguya Shinomiya, who knew her very well, ignored him and politely looked at Jiang Jing, her eyes asking, "Kanda-senpai?"
"Let's go over there," Jiang Jing said, pointing to a corner of the corridor where no one was.
"it is good."
The two ignored the pink-haired girl pretending to be cute and walked to the corner of the corridor under the gazes of everyone. Jiang Jing went straight to the point and took out a USB drive from his pocket: "This contains the last four volumes of Dragon and Tiger and several volumes of side stories."
Last night, while he was sleeping, Jiang Jing continued to devote some of his attention to using his mental energy to control the keyboard. After working all night, he copied out all the content of Dragon and Tiger in one go, and after some minor revisions, copied it to a USB drive this morning.
First, there are too many words. In addition, there are illustrations drawn and scanned by Shiina Mashiro for volumes four, five and six. The forty-five color illustrations take up more space than the text content. Sending them directly to Yuriko Uemura's email address is not as convenient as sending them on a USB drive.
"It's all in there." Kaguya Shinomiya took the USB drive, somewhat surprised, because she remembered that Jiang Jing had just finished writing those three volumes at the beginning of the month.
After this period of internship, Kaguya Shinomiya also gained some understanding of the light novel industry, so she realized that even if Jiang Jing finished writing volumes four, five, and six a week ago and then started writing the next four volumes of the main text, this speed was still too frightening.
Six or seven hundred thousand words in just over a month? And it's supposed to be high-quality novel content? Is this even human?
Jiang Jing smiled slightly: "The outline for this work was already set up beforehand, so it was actually quite quick to write."
"Alright, now the content is handed over to the intern editor in charge, Shinomiya. The rest is up to you. If you have any questions, you can come to me here."
Goodbye, Shinomiya-kun.
"Goodbye, Kanda-senpai." After watching Jiang Jing leave, Kaguya Shinomiya glanced down at the black USB drive in her hand, then solemnly put it away.
After finishing up with the novel, Jiang Jing found a secluded corner, instantly became invisible, and soared into the sky through the window. When he arrived at the villa atop the back mountain, Jiang Jing flew straight inside.
"Want to play together?"
As soon as Jiang Jing flew into the living room on the third floor, he saw a white-haired girl sitting cross-legged in the air, ten centimeters off the ground, staring intently at the screen. Her hands moved like phantoms, manipulating the game controller, and she even invited him to play together.
Jiang Jing glanced at the messy living room, which was littered with snacks, game CDs, light novels, and figurines: "Uh... are you alone?"
"Yakumo went back to seclusion to digest the gains from this battle. The stinky fox remembered some things and was in a bad mood, so he changed places to seclude himself to prepare for a true breakthrough to the rule level."
"However, Kazami Yuuka will be coming over later to discuss the preparations for closing the net."
"Those rats are always hiding in the shadows and doing dirty tricks, which is very annoying. We have to face the demonic tide ahead and don't have time for that. This time, I'm going to wipe them all out."
"Once this matter is resolved, I should be able to relax for a long time. After so many years of hard work, I can finally give myself a break." The white-haired girl's tone was very relaxed today, completely unlike her usual seriousness.
"Oh, right, our profits haven't been settled yet. It should take about a week. This demonic tide was unprecedented in scale, and although the pressure was great, the rewards were amazing."
Sitting in front of the white-haired girl, Jiang Jing picked up a game controller and casually said, "It doesn't matter."
.
P.S.: Today was another day with over 8,000 words. Here are two more chapters to make up for it. But it's been a few unlucky days too. I had to go to the toilet three times this morning because of diarrhea...
I didn't get many monthly votes or blades yesterday, so the bounty is still at 25 chapters (25/24).
Just one more chapter and I'll catch up with you guys! (smug)
