Tokyo Soft Rice King.

After escaping the hotel, Kuroba Akira grabbed Tsukimi Rii and said...

"Wait! Yiyi! Running away like this is bad! They'll be caught by Xiaoguang...!"

"She won't make a move against them right now! Because you are the most important person to her, and she won't do anything unnecessary until she's sure she has you!"

Tsukimi Ran was certain that Kuroba Akira was the most important king general. Once he was checkmated, the whole game would be lost, and she was the last wife to protect the king general.

So you should try to escape...

"But even if we want to escape...where can we escape to?"

Kuroba Akira anticipated Tsukimi Rii's thoughts and asked this fatal question.

"Well……!"

Lan Yi was speechless.

She didn't know where to escape to; she just seized the opportunity to take Kuroba Akira away from the dangerous scene, but she didn't think about what to do afterward.

Yes, that's my sister, and also a deity.

They possess incredible abilities, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

As long as there is sufficient faith...faith?

"...Buy time! Yes! That's right! We need to buy as much time as possible! She's different from Kikuri and Inari! Her faith isn't endless!"

"I see... Since the Tianyu family allowed her to travel alone, they must have provided her with more than three days' worth of faith at once. It's the second day now, so do we have to escape for another two days? Is that even possible?"

"It's not a question of whether we can do it! It's a question of whether we have to do it! If she catches us, we're all doomed! And three days should only be enough faith to maintain basic mobility. If we use special abilities recklessly, our faith should be depleted very quickly! She just used an incredible ability to get everyone drunk and pass out, didn't she?"

"They must have used their powers. After all, it's very rare for a group to fall into a coma. It couldn't possibly be food poisoning."

"So we need to escape while luring her to use all her special abilities. As long as we can deplete her 'power' in advance, she will turn back into an ordinary person, and it wouldn't be surprising if she even faints on the spot!"

"Uh……"

It sounds simple, but we don't even know what Xiao Guang's abilities are. How can we know how to deal with him if we don't know what cards the opponent has?

Tsukimi Ryoui knew this was a very difficult thing, so she made the suggestion with a determined look in her eyes.

"...I'll be the bait!"

"what?"

"She reacted very strongly when she saw me take you away, didn't she? You also said before that she had her eye on me, so she should be thinking of getting rid of me first!"

"Stop dreaming! You'll be instantly killed by her! I've seen Hikari use a knife before, it's incredibly dangerous! She's the national kendo champion! She can easily subdue you even without using her special abilities!"

"Then tell me what we should do!"

"...There is another way, although it is a gamble and full of uncertainty, but...I think it is much better than sacrificing you to let me escape alone."

"you……"

Tsukimi Ryou was surprised by Kuroba Akira's transformation.

I initially thought he was an indecisive man, but he still stood up at crucial moments.

My heart is racing, the suspension bridge effect... it seems to really work.

Tsukimi Ran-i quickly shook her head; now was not the time to be in heat.

"But we're missing a key item right now. Without 'that thing,' the success rate probably won't be very high."

"Tell me what kind of prop you need, and I'll work together to figure it out."

"that is……"

Kuroba Akira used the most concise and efficient language possible to tell Tsukimi Rii the final solution.

After listening, Tsukimi Rii looked dumbfounded and asked in return.

"W-Will this work?"

"I don't know either, but we can only give it a try."

"...I understand. Then we need to find it first..."

Just then, a raindrop landed on Tsukimi Ran's face. She looked up at the sky and said in a daze.

"Is it... raining?"

It's really strange that it's raining at such a low temperature... It was snowing yesterday...

Kuroba Akira smelled a strange odor, wiped the raindrops off his face with his fingers, and then smelled his fingers...

"Something's not right! This rain... it smells like alcohol!"

Wine rained down from the sky! Is this what they call a miracle?!

Kuroba Akira immediately realized Ameha Hikaru's purpose, and directly pulled Tsukimi Rii into his arms, shielding her from the rain with his arms, and then led her to the pavilion in the courtyard of the hot spring inn to take shelter from the rain.

Then Kuroba Akira quickly asked her.

"Hey! Are you alright? Cheer up!"

Tsukimi Rimi covered her forehead and said.

"Ugh... I'm a little dizzy... but I can still manage..."

Sure enough, this "rain of alcohol" is the same kind of thing as the beer that made everyone drunk right away!

So, Xiao Guang's purpose in expending so much faith to create a rain of wine here is...!

Akira Kuroba looked at the hot spring town not far away, and after seeing this strange scene, the tourists and even the hotel staff all came out.

It was incredibly cold in January, and it even rained, with a hint of alcohol in the rain. Anyone would find that unbelievable. And because the rain wasn't heavy, no one brought umbrellas; instead, they came out to take pictures and discuss things.

This group behavior, which was driven by curiosity, was the purpose of Tianyu Guang's arrangement of the wine rain, and innocent people had already walked into her trap.

"Damn it...! Don't come out! Go back inside!"

However, he alone could not stop the masses, much less halt this miraculous natural phenomenon.

The light drizzle stopped quickly, lasting only a few minutes.

But in those few minutes, the entire street became deathly silent, and all the pedestrians on the road collapsed to the ground.

This rain of wine was a series of moves by Ameyu Hikaru, all aimed at turning this area into her own 'paradise'.

From now on, no one will interfere with or hinder her from doing whatever she does here.

This means that the outdoors will no longer be a safe area.

"That's quite a feat, turning it into a perfect crime scene... Now no matter what she does here, there won't be any witnesses."

Kuroba Akira and Tsukimi Riai exchanged a glance, both sensing that something was terribly wrong.

The initiative was never in the hands of the two fugitives.

Moreover, Tenyu Hikaru has more than just this one card in his hand.

Because she didn't run out to chase after the two, and didn't even leave the original large room, but instead appeared by the window and shouted loudly outside.

"Ahem... Hey~ Brother~ Long time no see! Your beloved little sister is back! Aren't you going to come and greet her?"

"..."

Kuroba Akira quickly pressed down on Tsukimi Rii's shoulder, lowered his body, and lay in wait.

You mustn't make a sound at this time, or you'll give away your location.

"Honestly, this is such a touching reunion between siblings, but my brother won't even come out to see me? I'm so sad..."

Kuroba Akira's expression turned serious. It seemed that Hikari had indeed fully awakened her memories.

In other words, she will definitely put her plan into action immediately to achieve the ultimate goal that Kuroba Akira is unaware of.

Therefore, you must not be soft-hearted, you must not be bewitched by her, and you must not let her get what she wants.

"Fine... you won't come out, huh? Then I'll have to resort to some underhanded tactics..."

What is she going to do?

The two peeked out from the side of a pillar in the pavilion and looked towards the window where Tian Yuguang was standing, and then they saw that she was holding a woman in her arms.

It's Shion!

"Oh, brother, you're so heartless! You just abandoned your women and ran away like that? Aren't you afraid I'll do something 'bad' to them?"

She's taking everyone hostage!

Tsukimi Ranyi immediately hugged Kuroba Akira's waist, afraid that he might impulsively run away.

Kuroba Akira looked down and saw Tsukimi Rii shake her head at him, indicating that he should not fall into the other party's trap.

Kuroba Akira gritted his teeth. He was terrified that his sister would have an attack on Shion during her episode, but reason also told him that running away now would be playing right into Hikaru's hands.

"Brother, do you think I wouldn't do such a thing? Do you think I wouldn't kill someone?"

"..."

"Hmm...that's right, I really can't do it~ Don't worry, don't worry, I won't chop their heads off right now~ After all, I'm my brother's good sister, I wouldn't do anything that would make him hate me... But~ it's just a little prank, my gentle brother will forgive me, right?"

"..."

Then, Tianyu Guang took out a kitchen knife, pressed the blade against Ziyin's face, and said in a flippant tone.

"Ah~ This face is so beautiful, it makes me a little jealous~ Brother, what do you think would happen if I gently made a cut on her face, from her forehead to her chin...?"

"...Ugh! That bastard...!"

Lan Yi's reaction was even more intense.

Because she and Ziyin are in the same industry, as a professional actress, she is very clear that looks are a winning weapon and a basic requirement.

While an actor's acting skills are certainly important, it is only after the product is put on the "shelf" that acting skills can be used to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit goods.

However, without good looks, it's just a defective product, not even qualified to compete...

She's going to ruin Shion Murasaki's career and future!

Kuroba Akira was relieved, because at least his sister didn't intend to kill Shion.

No matter what happens to Ziyin, he will never abandon her.

"Hmm... but I feel like even if you turned her into an ugly monster, you still wouldn't abandon her, after all, you're a very responsible man~"
