After serving each dish, Luo Yu also took a cooled crab leg from the cat that was already squatting at his feet and put it in its special food bowl.
This little guy isn't even an adult yet, but just this one crab leg plus cat food is enough to fill him up.
After sitting down in his seat, Luo Yu looked at Lani and Yukino and said, "Alright, let's eat."
The king crab legs were laid out one by one, and had already been cut open. Without hesitation, Luo Yu picked up a leg, extracted the crab meat, and put it in his mouth. He nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, it tastes good, very fresh."
Although Yukino initially lost her appetite at the supermarket because of what Luo Yu said, she is now eating it in small bites, and it does taste quite good.
Luo Yu didn't waste a single bit of the king crab roe either, making three bowls of steamed eggs with crab roe. She used a recipe she found online to make the king crab as delicious as possible.
As she sipped her crab roe steamed egg with a spoon, Yukino couldn't help but feel that this scene was much better than eating alone at home.
After finishing her meal and resting for a while, Yukino said goodbye and left without asking Luo Yu to see her off.
After the initial adjustment period, Yukino has now learned to ignore evil spirits she encounters on the street, and she no longer tries to exorcise them just because she has gained some power.
She had a clear understanding of her own abilities; she was just a novice, and the safest thing to do was not to cause trouble.
With Yukino back, Lani also had no problems with Friday's schedule.
"Tokyo, I heard there are many powerful sorcerers there, right?" Lani gently twirled the Kalia Scepter in her hand. "I wonder if there will be any battles then."
Luo Yu leaned back lazily on the sofa, holding Lani in his arms, and said, "That depends on what the Shinomiya Consortium plans to do at this banquet. If it's just about getting people to cooperate, there won't be any problems. But if the Panxing Cult interferes and controls things, then there might be issues."
Luo Yu was unclear about other matters, but he knew one thing for sure: the relationship between the Panxing Sect and the Sigong Consortium was definitely not ordinary.
The invitation Yukinoshita received was delivered by members of the Panxing Cult. Their visit to Chiba was definitely not just to deliver an invitation; they must have been carrying out other actions in Chiba.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone, opened an app he hadn't used for a few days, and started searching for information about the Panxing Cult in the forum.
He actually found some information.
Looking at the message on his phone, Luo Yu smiled and said, "Although the Panxing Sect keeps a low profile, it really has a presence everywhere. In particular, many celebrities like to go to the Panxing Sect to ask for help with exorcisms. Especially in the past three years, the Panxing Sect has developed faster and faster. In the past year, it has successfully connected with the Sigong Consortium and reached a deep cooperation."
Lani also saw the message on her phone and, looking at the anonymous poster, asked, "How authentic is this post?"
Luo Yu stroked his chin, looking at the comments below the post, and said, "It should be at least 70-80%. This post hasn't been deleted; it's been there for almost three months. Some people have left comments agreeing with it. Well, but that's none of our business. If a battle really breaks out, we'll just have a good spar and see what the other side is made of. A top-grade cursed spirit, I wonder if it will appear then."
Compared to the others, Luo Yu was only interested in those top-tier curse spirits and top-tier spellcasters, and he really wanted to experience their combat power.
Especially the area of effect that serves as a signature move.
Luo Yu really wanted to try whether he could break through the domain directly with brute force.
It will definitely be very interesting.
As for losing, Luo Yu never even considered it.
Even when fighting Radagan and the Beast of Elden, Luo Yu never used his full strength.
As for Mitaen, he teamed up with Lani and fought two against two opponents, and they completely crushed them.
Luo Yu really didn't think those top-tier cursed spirits could match the strength of enemies like Radagan and the Beast of Elden.
Lani, sensing the rising fighting spirit in Luo Yu, narrowed her eyes: "Your Majesty, it seems you're getting impatient and want to fight?"
Luo Yu nodded slightly, while his hands restlessly slipped under the hem of Lani's clothes, feeling Lani's smooth skin.
"I like a peaceful life, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in fighting. If there's an interesting opponent, I'll take action without hesitation. But for now, let's go take a shower first."
After saying that, he picked Lani up and took her upstairs to take a bath.
It's Friday.
After the school bell rang, in Class C, Jianzi packed her schoolbag, looked at Baihechuan Hua who was walking over, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Hua, let's go buy the butt daifuku you've been talking about all day."
Yurikawa Hana smiled and said, "There are other people too, I've invited May to come along!"
Then she looked at Ichika Nakano, who was walking over.
"Ichika, do you want to come with us?"
Ichika Nakano shook her head: "No, I made plans with Nino to go grocery shopping with Miku. You guys have fun."
After leaving the classroom, Miko also saw Luo Yu and Yukino walking together in the crowd ahead.
She knew that they were going to Tokyo today, and she was also aware that there might be dangers ahead, which made her a little worried.
However, considering that Luo Yu and Lani would be going, she suppressed her worries and prepared to cultivate diligently after returning home so that she could be of help as soon as possible.
After leaving the school, Yukino got into the car that the Yukino family had come to pick her up, while Luo Yu went home first, changed his clothes, and then set off for Tokyo with Lani.
As Lani boarded the train, it was the first time she had left Chiba since arriving in this world, and she was very curious about the scenery outside the train window.
Looking at the scenery rushing past outside, Lani said, "Your Majesty, when we arrive in Tokyo, shall we go straight to the banquet venue?"
Luo Yu shook his head: "No rush. The banquet starts at six o'clock in the evening. We can take a walk around and rest for a while. We have plenty of time."
This banquet of the Shinomiya family was held at one of their own large estates, which is surrounded by mansions, so going there directly would be quite boring.
Luo Yu thought that since there was still some time, he should take Lani on a simple date first.
Chapter 54 Wandering Around Tokyo (1/2)
After arriving in Tokyo, since the banquet was still being held at the Shinomiya family's estate in Chiyoda Ward, and considering that it wasn't too far away, Luo Yu first took Lani to Shibuya and they strolled around there.
Lani doesn't go shopping often, but after arriving in Shibuya, she still felt the difference between it and Chiba.
Especially today, being Saturday, Lani saw young men and women walking in groups on the streets of Shibuya, some of whom were even fifteen or sixteen-year-old middle school students, all dressed in revealing outfits and wearing makeup.
Lani even unexpectedly saw two girls wearing miniskirts and tank tops, with their black thongs showing, which made Lani frown repeatedly.
"In this world, is it even possible to wear clothes like this out in public?"
Luo Yu naturally saw it too, and said with a smile, "I can only say that some people like to attract attention. Most people would not dress like this, or would not wear it out so openly. They would only wear it at home as a kind of fun."
After speaking, Luo Yu glanced at Lani's long dress, the fitted waist accentuating her slender figure and showcasing her beautiful physique.
Then, the images of Miko and Yukino came back to mind, as well as the sisters Nino and Satsuki Nakano, whom I had met and talked to.
These girls, even when dressed in ordinary clothes or even school uniforms, exude a kind of elegance that ordinary girls can't possibly match.
This means that even when he's out and about, Luo Yu will only glance at the women around him and won't linger for long.
Seeing too much pleasing visuals raises one's aesthetic threshold early on.
Seeing that Luo Yu showed absolutely no interest, Lani stopped paying attention.
These people did have some impact on me, but that was all. My own king has very high standards.
Then, Luo Yu took Lani shopping in a large shopping mall in Shibuya, looked at several high-end clothing stores, and bought a few clothes that she liked.
After buying clothes, the two went to a dessert shop in the mall, each ordered a dessert, and sat down to rest.
Looking at the taro ball double-skin milk in front of her, Lani curiously observed it from all sides before starting to taste it with a small spoon.
"Mmm, it tastes really good."
Squinting her eyes, Lani has always preferred delicious desserts.
While eating, Lani asked about Yukino.
"Your Majesty, has Yukino arrived at the scene yet?"
Luo Yu shook her head: "It's four o'clock in the afternoon now, and the banquet starts at six o'clock, so there's still plenty of time. She told me at noon that she would go to the hotel she booked with her family to rest first, and change clothes and do her makeup, and then she would go there at five-thirty. As for now, she's probably doing her makeup. There's a lot to prepare for a banquet, especially for a girl."
Lani took out her phone and sent a message to Yukino to ask about the situation.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen the dress Yukino is going to wear today yet, I wonder what it looks like."
As a princess of the Kalia royal family, Lani is quite familiar with banquets, but she doesn't know how different the banquets in this world are from those in the borderlands.
Two minutes after the message was sent, Yukino replied.
Lani picked up her phone, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Sure enough, makeup really makes a difference, Your Majesty. Here, take a look too."
After Lani turned her phone around, Luo Yu also saw the selfie that Yukino had sent.
In the photo, Yukino is wearing a dark purple, tight-fitting sleeveless dress, and her long hair, which was originally loose, is now tied up. Compared to her usual youthful appearance, she looks more mature.
However, the faint blush on her face in the selfie still revealed the turmoil in her heart at that moment.
Luo Yu smiled and said, "Hmm, it's very nice. It's a completely different style from usual. Did she say when she's going to the banquet?"
Lani nodded: "She said she'd be there before 5:30. Her parents also plan to talk to some business families in Tokyo about collaborations. As for Yukino, she'll probably be pretty bored; she doesn't know anyone there."
That's true. This second young lady's personality isn't as sociable as her older sister's. If nothing unexpected happens at the banquet, she'll definitely be quite bored.
"Since we're arriving before 5:30, let's go and wait around that time. We should find a place to sit."
As he spoke, Luo Yu took out his phone, opened the app, and started browsing the forums to see if there were any incidents in the Tokyo area.
As I was scrolling through the pages, I came across a message.
Gojo Satoru, hailed as the strongest sorcerer of his time, accepted a mission to eliminate a top-tier cursed spirit and went to Hokkaido.
"Hokkaido...today..."
Luo Yu stroked his chin, a smile appearing on his face.
"It seems these guys are still a bit scared, they just took Gojo Satoru away."
"Gojo Satoru?"
After Lani looked over, Luo Yu briefly told her about Gojo Satoru.
"The strongest sorcerer?" Lani nodded, took a bite of taro ball, and said, "The strongest sorcerer active in the Kanto region accepted a mission to Hokkaido today. It seems that something will definitely happen tonight. But, didn't Gojo Satoru consider that setting off so directly might be a diversionary tactic?"
Luo Yu smiled and said, "It's probably because of his confidence in his own strength. He thought that no matter what happened, he could come back in time."
Lani tilted her head and said softly, "Some people are too confident, or you could say arrogant. If something irreversible happens, it will be too late for regrets."
Luo Yu wholeheartedly agreed. In the original work, Gojo Satoru's arrogance caused many events to spiral out of control, leading to him being caught off guard by the enemy's calculated moves, resulting in him being sealed and cut in half.
Today, when Gojo Satoru left Tokyo, Luo Yu didn't even need to guess; he knew that Gojo Satoru must have thought the same thing—that he considered himself invincible, hence his constant nonchalant attitude.
After finishing the last bit of dessert, Lani looked at Luo Yu and said, "Your Majesty, you mustn't follow their example."
Luo Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've been through so many battles in the border region, so I naturally won't underestimate anyone. Including today, to prevent any accidents, I came directly here. You don't need to worry about me ending up like that."
Lani nodded in satisfaction, then packed her things and left the dessert shop with Luo Yu, heading towards Chiyoda Ward.
Chapter 55 The Banquet, the Shinomiya Family's Announcement (2/2)
At 5:30, the Yukino family arrived at the manor where the banquet was being held, in a private car.
As the car door opened, Yukino got out with her older sister, Haruno. Looking at the luxurious manor before them, a sense of unease welled up in their hearts.
In particular, Yukino noticed that the number of security personnel around the manor was pitifully small, with only a few at the entrance and a few at the surrounding intersections.
Yukino had heard from her older sister Haruno that whenever the Shinomiya family went out, they always put on a grand show.
Needless to say, security personnel are always on high alert, even when other families hold banquets, or even when the Yukinoshita family holds its own New Year's banquet, because many people from all walks of life are invited.
Not normal, absolutely not normal.
Seeing her sister's expression, Yukino asked curiously, "Yukino, what's wrong?"
Yukino pursed her lips, shook her head, and followed her parents.
After entering the banquet hall, the parents went to meet the people they knew, while Yang was responsible for taking care of Yukino and helping her get used to the environment.
After looking around the banquet hall and seeing who was already there, Yang Nai whispered to her younger sister, "See? There are a lot of young ladies in their early twenties from various families here. As far as I know, banquets hosted by the Shinomiya family usually involve important collaborations, and the attendees are usually people from each family who are in charge of important projects. Today's turn is a bit unexpected."
Yukino also noticed this; after going with her sister to get some food, she overheard a conversation between several girls.
After sitting down on an empty sofa in the corner, Yukino ate while observing the entire banquet hall and said, "Maybe she's here to snag a rich husband? Didn't you say that besides the eldest son, the other two members of the Shinomiya family aren't married yet? Oh, and the youngest daughter of the Shinomiya family will also be attending today. I see quite a few young men here too."
"Hmm... Yukino's judgment is quite likely! But Yukino, are you looking for someone you know right now?"
Turning her gaze away, Yukino shook her head, glanced at her older sister beside her, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Sister, something might happen at tonight's banquet. I suggest you talk to Father and Mother later and not have too much contact with other people, especially the Shinomiya family."
"Something... happened?" Haruno narrowed her eyes and looked at Yukino, asking, "Little Yukino, you didn't find out some inside story, did you? Can you tell your older sister?"
Yukino shook her head: "There's definitely something fishy about this, but I can't say for sure what will happen. But I think it's definitely related to the Panxing Cult."
"Panxing Sect?"
Yang Nai's expression gradually became serious. She had previously thought it was suspicious that an invitation was being sent by a Tokyo-based, non-public sect.
Now, her younger sister has said something that is similar to her own thoughts, which makes Yang Nai even more curious.
"I understand. I'll go find my father and mother and remind them. Yukino, you can sit by yourself for a while."
After saying that, she got up to go find her parents, while Yukino sat on the sofa, eating small bites of dessert to suppress her unease.
I wonder if Luo Yu and Miss Lani have arrived yet.
