……
"Why are there so many more girls?"
After leaving the living room with Gabriel, they found a quiet corner in the courtyard. Gabriel looked at Qin Chuan and her first words were a complaint about the excessive number of girls Qin Chuan had been in contact with.
This surprised Qin Chuan somewhat; he had thought Gabriel wouldn't care about such things at all.
After all, in Gabriel's mind, games should come first, and making money should come second—and even making money is to make herself play games better.
The Celestial Realm would probably rank third, since completing Celestial Realm tasks would also earn her a living allowance, which would allow her to play the game better.
And now, Gabriel is actually able to resist the temptation of making money and playing games, and ask Qin Chuan about those girls first?
This made Qin Chuan look at Gabriel thoughtfully—it seems that this girl's personality isn't entirely beyond redemption.
"...Don't get me wrong! I'm just worried that you're so engrossed in girls that you've forgotten about important matters!"
Seeing the subtle look Qin Chuan gave her, Gabrielle seemed to realize something, her face flushed red, and she shouted in a haughty manner.
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Qin Chuan looked at Gabriel with a knowing gaze, then took the jet-black magic polymer from Blackbird Requiem's body.
"Is this the thing...? Indeed, I can feel the magic power emanating from the evil spirits on it, and it's quite strong, around 3.7."
Seeing the bead-like magical polymer in Qin Chuan's hand, Gabriel nodded and then solemnly put it away.
This was her guarantee for earning a living by handing it over to the Heavenly Realm, so of course she had to keep it safe.
I heard that people in Hell are also looking for this thing, especially that stupid demon named Satania. If she finds out, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause.
"I've given you the item. Is there any other reward?"
Seeing Gabriel put the item away, Qin Chuan knew that it was probably a sure thing.
Gabriel is, after all, one of the most outstanding graduates in the Celestial Realm recently. Since she thinks this bead meets the requirements, it will most likely pass smoothly in the Celestial Realm as well.
"That's a nice thought."
Gabriel glared at Qin Chuan with annoyance, then hesitated for a moment.
"Come closer."
Chapter 366 The driver is under a lot of pressure.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Achuan. I had a lot of fun today."
As evening fell, everyone prepared to go home. At the courtyard gate, Ichiji Nijika waved to Qin Chuan with a happy smile on her face.
Although Qin Chuan left twice during the trip—once to answer a phone call and once to have a private conversation with Gabriel—he spent the rest of the time playing with the band.
In Ichika Nijika's opinion, Qin Chuan must be very busy, even on weekends, given that he is so young and lives in such a big house without the help of relatives or parents.
He actually managed to take the time to be with the band after their break, which made Ijichi Nijika very grateful.
If Qin Chuan knew what Ichichi Nijika was thinking, he would definitely find it very interesting—after all, the reality was quite different from what Ichichi Nijika had imagined.
Qin Chuan doesn't need to spend much time to acquire money; he only needs to demonstrate his power, and the Shinomiya family will obediently provide him with as many conveniences as possible in his life.
"Miss Thor's lunch was also very good."
However, Yamada Ryo, who was standing next to Ijichi Nijika, expressed her gratitude in a different way, focusing her praise entirely on the lunch.
It seems that the aftereffects of spending all her living expenses to buy Kita Ikuyo's bass instrument haven't subsided yet, and she still relies on Qin Chuan's hospitality for her meals.
And when she ate the lunch Thor made at home this time, she didn't hold back her praise.
"Hmph, although it's just an inferior species, its taste is still quite good."
Upon hearing Yamada Ryo's praise, Tohru's face lit up with pride, his nose practically pointing to the sky, as if he wholeheartedly agreed with Yamada Ryo's compliment.
In order to play the role of a maid well, she spent a lot of time learning human cuisine, and it took her several days to finally be able to make dishes that could satisfy most people's taste buds.
Standing next to Tohru, Sayu Ogiwara gave an awkward but polite smile.
Yamada Ryo might not know, but Ogiwara Sayu certainly does—Tohru has tried more than once to mix her tail meat into dishes for Qin Chuan to eat.
It's unclear whether Thor believes that giving someone the meat from his tail is an act of intimacy.
In short, Sayu Ogiwara put in a lot of effort to dissuade Tohru from treating the dragon's tail as a live animal.
I wonder if Yamada Ryo would still praise Tohru's cooking skills like that if he knew he almost got to eat Tohru's tail meat.
"I...I had a lot of fun too."
Goto Ichiri also spoke up timidly—it's already a big step forward that she, a socially awkward person, took the initiative to speak.
This also shows that Goto Ichiri's personality has indeed changed quite a bit recently. At least she is no longer like she was at the beginning, unable to utter a complete sentence for several days after meeting new friends.
Today, when she met Qin Chuan's family for the first time, although she stumbled a bit, she was at least able to communicate.
Goto Ichiri was thinking the same thing, but as she did so, she also looked up at Qin Chuan.
Perhaps when she becomes bolder, she will have more things she wants to say to Qin Chuan.
……
After seeing off the band and Kato Megumi, Qin Chuan stood at the door without going back inside immediately, waiting for others to arrive.
Sure enough, a car drove up and stopped in front of Qin Chuan shortly afterward.
As the car door opened, Hayasaka Ai stepped out of the back seat—she was wearing a maid outfit from the Shinomiya family—and said to Qin Chuan:
"Master, the Shinomiya family has come to fetch you."
That's right, today is the day of the dinner party that the Shinomiya family invited Qin Chuan to.
The Shinomiya family probably hoped to use this opportunity to let Qin Chuan and Shinomiya Kaguya get to know each other and see if they could develop a relationship.
However, despite this, the Shinomiya family, having already witnessed Qin Chuan's power, certainly wouldn't place their hopes on "the possibility of developing a relationship."
If nothing unexpected happens, the Shinomiya family must have done some work on Kaguya Shinomiya beforehand, probably trying to get her to take the initiative to develop a relationship with Qin Chuan.
"Master, Lady Kaguya is likely to approach you today. I hope you can take a little care of her."
Sure enough, as Qin Chuan sat in the back seat of the car, he also heard Hayasaka Aina's somewhat helpless voice.
Hayasaka Ai still cared a lot about Kaguya Shinomiya, so even though she already knew that Kaguya Shinomiya was most likely to be given to Qin Chuan, she still hoped that Qin Chuan wouldn't be too harsh on Kaguya Shinomiya.
After all, Hayasaka Ai knows how cold Shinomiya Kaguya is to outsiders, and Qin Chuan might become dissatisfied with Shinomiya because of this.
"Don't worry, I'm a very chivalrous person."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan smiled and said to Hayasaka Ai, "I know about Kaguya Shinomiya's situation, so there's no need for me to get angry with a little girl."
However, upon hearing this, Hayasaka Ai rolled her eyes.
Chivalry? Of all the girls Qin Chuan had been intimate with, probably only Hayasaka Ai truly experienced how rough Qin Chuan's behavior was.
If it weren't for the Stand ability helping to improve her physique and recover, Hayasaka Ai would probably have been ruined long ago.
However, as a maid, she had no right to meddle, so after offering a word of advice, she didn't say anything more, only asking:
"But then again, it's probably best not to embarrass yourself too much at the 460 Gong family's banquet, right? Master, would you like me to help you clean up the mess first?"
Qin Chuan's lips twitched upon hearing Hayasaka Ai's shameless words.
Although I had noticed before that Hayasaka Ai had become quite uninhibited in front of me, it seems a bit too uninhibited now.
Qin Chuan knew perfectly well what Hayasaka Ai meant by "handling," so he shook his head.
"Forget it, I've already vented my anger today... Besides, if I really deal with it, I'll probably be late, right?"
Since he had agreed to attend the banquet, Qin Chuan didn't intend to be too impolite or make himself seem like he was of high status by being late.
"That's right."
Hayasaka Ai seemed to agree wholeheartedly and nodded.
She knew, of course, how freakish Qin Chuan's stamina was. To put it bluntly, in the past few times, if Qin Chuan hadn't stopped on his own initiative, he seemed capable of continuing indefinitely.
Since Qin Chuan doesn't need their help, that's great, as they really don't have much time left.
The female driver in the front seat remained expressionless, as if she hadn't heard Hayasaka Ai and Qin Chuan's strange remarks at all, and simply drove silently.
As a servant of the Shinomiya family, this female driver knew very well that if something went in one ear and out the other, it was best to let it go immediately and not overthink it.
Chapter 367 Fujiwara Chika's Self-Reflection
The banquet hall was filled with many faces that frequently appear in news and online media.
Given the status of the Shinomiya Group, the people invited to the banquet are naturally all celebrities in society. Even those who cannot attend will send other members of their families to attend with their apologies.
Kaguya Shinomiya sat in a corner of the banquet hall—she wore a rather gorgeous dress, but her calm expression gave her a cold feeling.
Only Fujiwara Chika was by her side—not that only Fujiwara Chika dared to approach her; in fact, quite a few other people had tried to get close to Shinomiya Kaguya before.
However, the peers who tried to get close to her were all stopped by their parents, who told them not to approach Kaguya Shinomiya casually.
Clearly, these people knew that Kaguya Shinomiya's presence here wasn't for their children to meet, but for another reason.
"So, Qin Chuan hasn't arrived yet?"
Kaguya Shinomiya's gaze remained fixed on the hall's main door—that door had been opened many times before, but each time the person who walked in wasn't the Qin Chuan she expected.
Although Kaguya Shinomiya only knew Qin Chuan's name and her old-fashioned phone couldn't even receive photos of him, she had Chika Fujiwara by her side.
Fujiwara Chika had met Qin Chuan before, and if it were Qin Chuan entering the hall, she would have informed him immediately.
"After all, the banquet hasn't officially started yet, so not arriving now doesn't count as being late."
Fujiwara Chika wore a seemingly carefree smile, but upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Kaguya Shinomiya pulled her along, asking her to point out who Qin Chuan was, which made Chika Fujiwara feel like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
You should know that she had twice had inappropriate thoughts about Qin Chuan, which made her feel guilty whenever she saw Shinomiya Kaguya.
Even in the student council, she tried to avoid eye contact with Kaguya Shinomiya to avoid feeling a sense of guilt that she couldn't bear.
However, this time, only she could stay by Kaguya Shinomiya's side. Fujiwara Chika knew she couldn't escape it, so she could only stay with Kaguya Shinomiya, watching the hall door and waiting for Qin Chuan's arrival.
Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya didn't have to wait long.
The doors to the hall opened again, and this time it was Qin Chuan who walked in.
Behind Qin Chuan, Hayasaka Ai, dressed in a maid outfit, followed closely, giving Kaguya Shinomiya a certain feeling.
It seems that Hayasaka Ai is more like Qin Chuan's maid than his own.
……
The moment Qin Chuan entered the banquet hall, everyone inside turned their gaze to him.
Logically speaking, if a young person they've never met before and have no recollection of suddenly appears at a dinner party, they should be puzzled.
If we follow the plot of some clichéd novels, there should even be some clueless extra who jumps out to question Qin Chuan.
However, this did not happen at this banquet—it was a banquet hosted by the Shinomiya family, and of course the Shinomiya family would not allow anyone to spoil Qin Chuan's mood.
In fact, although the Shinomiya family did not say it explicitly, many forces had already noticed that the Shinomiya family seemed to have received support from some strange power.
Many people don't believe in things like superpowers, but recently, conglomerates or companies that have had conflicts with the Shinomiya family have indeed encountered some events that cannot be explained by common sense.
These events may seem insignificant, but they did indeed affect some of their plans, allowing the Shinomiya family to gain considerable advantage.
Before this banquet, the Shinomiya family seemed to have made a certain statement—Qin Chuan seemed to be related to that power.
Therefore, although the people at the banquet were meeting Qin Chuan for the first time, they could not rashly go up and cause trouble—on the contrary, they were all thinking about how to gain Qin Chuan's favor.
Many people have already guessed that Kaguya Shinomiya might be part of the Shinomiya family's plan to win over Qin Chuan, so they are also wondering whether they should learn from the Shinomiya family's plan.
"It seems quite a few people care about you, Master~々."
Hayasaka Ai followed closely behind Qin Chuan. Of course, she also noticed that everyone at the banquet was looking at Qin Chuan. She couldn't help but chuckle and whispered to Qin Chuan.
"...I just hope it doesn't cause me any trouble."
Qin Chuan shrugged. Although the Shinomiya family seemed to have deliberately released some information to prevent him from receiving any unpleasant treatment at the banquet.
But it seems that this information was released a bit too much—leading Qin Chuan to feel that many people were looking at him strangely.
Perhaps she also wanted to get Qin Chuan's help regarding "superpowers"?
However, matters concerning Stand users are basically being handled by the Kiryu Group, and Qin Chuan himself hasn't checked on the progress of the Kiryu Group for over two weeks.
