"Since we're already here, let's have dinner together. It's getting late."
Seeing that the band seemed quite satisfied with the end, Qin Chuan nodded and then extended an invitation.
"it is good!"
As expected, Yamada Ryo was the first to reply—she would never let go of an opportunity to freeload a meal.
Chapter 568 The Visit of Yotsuya Miko
After dinner, the band members gathered again in the lounge—after all, Kato Megumi's keyboard was placed there.
Qin Chuan had a feeling that this place might become the second gathering place for the End Band after LiveHouse.
However, Qin Chuan didn't care about this. After all, the lounge was spacious enough, and he hadn't thought of what to do with it before. It was fine to let the band use it now.
Moreover, practicing here won't disturb others, as the rest area itself is soundproofed, so there's no need to worry about the noise being too loud.
I don't know what this spacious lounge was originally intended for... but now it's convenient for the band to use after they finish their performance.
"Miss Thor's cooking is delicious."
Back in the lounge, Yamada Ryo immediately praised Tohru's cooking, saying it tasted great, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Thor's cooking skills were actually quite bad at first, after all, she used to be a dragon and her eating habits were practically like eating raw meat and drinking blood. When she first became a maid, she couldn't even use the cooking utensils.
But perhaps it's because dragons have an exceptional learning ability, Thor's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds after only a few days as a maid, and now she's no worse than some master chefs.
Despite Yamada Ryo's penchant for spending money recklessly, which often leads to her going hungry, her family is actually quite wealthy, and she eats better than most people.
To receive her praise shows that Tohru's cooking skills are indeed quite remarkable. Perhaps she really needs to study in the world of gourmet anime to improve further.
"If you like it so much, why don't you just stay at Qin Chuan's house?"
Ichi Nijika also smiled and looked at Yamada Ryo, making a joke—she had also noticed that Yamada Ryo seemed to have a very good attitude towards Qin Chuan.
Of course, this attitude seems to be mostly based on Qin Chuan treating them to dinner... Despite being so wealthy, they're so easily swayed by material things.
However, after Ichiji Nijika finished speaking, Yamada Ryo unexpectedly showed a thoughtful expression on his face and then nodded.
"This idea seems pretty good~"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the lounge was startled and simultaneously turned to look at Yamada Ryo.
Not only Ijichi Nijika, who brought up the topic herself, but also Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo, who were tidying up their guitars, turned to look.
Clearly, Yamada Ryo's words made them a little nervous, seemingly worried that he was serious.
Kato Megumi, however, remained quite calm—unlike the others who had finished their band performance, she was already used to Qin Chuan bringing girls home.
"Why are you so nervous? I was just joking."
Yamada Ryo seemed to notice the horrified looks directed at him, and changed the subject, speaking with a smile. 7.
Because Yamada Ryo usually behaves this way—saying surprising things with a very calm expression—her recent statement seems to fit her persona.
The band members who had just finished their performance were unsure whether Yamada Ryo was serious or joking.
After all, the members of the band who had left all harbored feelings for Qin Chuan to varying degrees—if Yamada Ryo felt the same way, then they had to be on their guard.
...I
While the band finished their conversation in the dressing room, Qin Chuan encountered another situation.
"Is someone looking for me at the door?"
Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised when he heard Gabriel's report.
"Yes, they are two girls."
Gabrielle, dressed in a maid outfit, stood in the corridor with a somewhat annoyed expression, looking at Qin Chuan's surprised face.
Recently, she felt that more and more girls were coming to Qin Chuan's house. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still a little unhappy.
After the band finished, four girls came to the door, and now two more girls she had never seen before came looking for her.
“I certainly don’t remember having any other girls come to my house today.”
Qin Chuan looked at Gabriel, who seemed a little jealous, and smiled helplessly. Then he lowered his head and pecked Gabriel's lips.
Despite being a homebody who seems to know everything online, Gabriel is actually quite innocent.
When Qin Chuan pecked her lips, Gabriel's face turned bright red—even though she had done that kind of thing before, she was still not used to overly intimate gestures.
However, being treated like this, Gabrielle's initial little temper was suppressed, and she shoved Qin Chuan in an annoyance.
"Alright! Hurry up and get to the door! Don't keep those two waiting!"
Qin Chuan smiled as he looked at Gabrielle's flushed face, but didn't say anything more before walking towards the door.
He was also quite curious, as he hadn't made any other plans with girls today, and wondered who would come knocking on his door.
……
At his doorstep, Qin Chuan saw the two girls Gabriel had mentioned coming to find him.
To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise—because the two girls standing at the entrance were actually Miko Yotsuya and Yuria Nigurodo.
"Oh? Jianzi? What brings you here?"
Qin Chuan looked at Yotsuya Miko with some surprise, not expecting her to come directly to his doorstep.
Logically speaking, Yotsuya Miko shouldn't know where her home is. After helping Yotsuya Miko awaken her Stand, Qin Chuan didn't contact her for a while.
Yotsuya Miko seemed to sense Qin Chuan's doubts, and explained with a wry smile:
"I only found out the address by asking Kato-kun..."
Qin Chuan immediately understood—as a member of the Paranormal Research Club, Yotsuya Miko had exchanged contact information with Kato Megumi.
Therefore, it makes sense that Yotsuya Miko learned the address of the Hata family from Kato Megumi.
"Jianzi? What's your relationship...?"
Yuria Nigurodo, who was standing next to Miko Yotsuya, heard Qin Chuan address Miko Yotsuya and looked back and forth between Qin Chuan and Miko Yotsuya with some confusion.
In Japan, calling someone by their first name is considered quite intimate, so when she heard Qin Chuan call Yotsuya Miko "Miko," she immediately suspected their relationship.
But in reality, Qin Chuan and Yotsuya Miko's relationship was more complicated than she imagined.
After all, Qin Chuan had previously used the price of "giving me the rest of your life" to help Yotsuya Miko awaken her Stand.
Therefore, in every sense, Yotsuya Miko is now considered a person from Qin Chuan.
"Qin Chuan is the person I told you about before, the one who can awaken a 'stand-in' for people."
Yotsuya Miko looked at Nigurodo Yuria with a hint of helplessness—she had been kept at bay by Nigurodo Yuria lately.
Yuria Nibutō seems to possess the same "spirit vision" ability as herself, and can see some "spirits" that are not too threatening, but cannot see some overly terrifying evil spirits.
Moreover... she could also see the "stand-in," although she could only vaguely see some shadows, but she could definitely see them.
After seeing Yotsuya Miko's "stand-in," Nibutō Yuria became obsessed with her, trying to learn about the existence of the "stand-in" through various methods.
Yotsuya Miko was so pestered that she had no choice but to bring her to find Qin Chuan.
Chapter 560, Chapter 19, What Did Yotsuya Miko Pay?
"I see, the materialization of spiritual power... This is what Yotsuya meant by the Stand."
In the reception room inside the house, Yuria Nibutō listened to Qin Chuan's introduction and gained some understanding of the existence of "stand-ins".
Normally, the existence of Stands shouldn't be told to ordinary people, but Yuria Nimadedo has a "spiritual vision" ability similar to Miko Yotsuya, so she can't be considered an ordinary person.
Moreover, Yotsuya Miko gave him a pleading look, which showed that she had indeed been quite annoyed by Nigurodo Yuria's harassment these past few days, and hoped that he could help her.
As for how to help... it's very simple. Just let Yuria Nigurodo know the origin of the "Stand," and then she won't bother Miko Yotsuya anymore.
Of course, instead, Yuria Nibutō is likely to get entangled with Qin Chuan, since Qin Chuan has a way to awaken a "Stand".
However, Yotsuya Miko trusted Qin Chuan very much, believing that Qin Chuan should have a way to stop Nibutō Yuria from being so clingy.
"Since you can vaguely see the shadow of the 'stand-in,' you should also be able to see some of the effects it causes."
Qin Chuan looked at Yulia Nibutang's clothes with great curiosity, and then summoned "Blackbird Requiem".
Sure enough, the moment "Blackbird Requiem" appeared, Yuria Nibutō's gaze fell upon it—though in 357 she could probably only see a blurry figure.
Then, under Qin Chuan's control, "Blackbird Requiem" gently tapped the coffee table in front of it, and a zipper opened from the coffee table.
"A zipper appeared on the coffee table!?"
Like a child seeing something new and exciting, Yuria Nibutō's eyes lit up, and she instinctively reached out her hand, tentatively slipping it through the gap in the zipper.
Sure enough, her hand went through the center of the zipper, which made her realize that the zipper on the coffee table was not an illusion, but a real thing.
Qin Chuan used his Stand ability to create a zipper on the surface of the coffee table and forcibly opened a crack in the surface of the coffee table—but the coffee table itself was completely undamaged.
"Stands have a variety of abilities, and each person may awaken a different Stand ability. This 'Steel Chain Fingers' ability is just one of them."
After watching Yulia Ermutang finish fiddling with the zipper, Qin Chuan released the "steel chain fingers" ability from the coffee table surface, restoring it to its original state.
"Miko's Stand ability is 'Granting,' which allows her to grant her own abilities to others to a certain extent."
"Although I hardly ever use it."
(bgei) Yotsuya Miko's face showed an embarrassed smile - she had basically used her Stand to eliminate evil spirits, and she had never used the "Give" ability even once.
After all, besides her Stand, Yotsuya Miko only has the ability of spiritual vision. Otherwise, her learning ability and physical strength are only at the level of an ordinary person.
Giving these things away is not very meaningful and may even weaken you, so you won't have the chance to use your abilities.
Qin Chuan often uses her Stand ability to bestow Hayasaka Ai's maid outfit Stand onto other people, but Yotsuya Miko is unaware of this.
"Then... can I also have Stand abilities?"
Seeing that both Qin Chuan and Yotsuya Miko had stand-ins, Nibutō Yuria looked anxious and asked Qin Chuan with expectant eyes.
"Awakening a Stand requires qualifications, and as for whether one has the qualifications, this test will suffice."
Seeing Yuria Nibutō's eagerness, Qin Chuan also reached into the "King's Treasure" and took out the "arrow" and placed it in his palm.
"As long as this 'arrow' reacts to you, it means you have the qualifications to be a Stand user."
That being said, it's practically a certainty that Yuria Nimuro has Stand aptitude.
After all, Yuria Nibutō also has "spiritual vision," just like Miko Yotsuya, which is a kind of Stand ability.
Sure enough, after Qin Chuan took out the "arrow," the golden "arrow" immediately pointed straight at Yuria Nibutō, confirming her Stand qualifications.
Seeing the "arrow" pointing at her, Yuria Nigurodo's face lit up with joy.
However, before she could be happy for long, she saw Qin Chuan put the "arrow" away again—it seemed he had no intention of helping her awaken her substitute.
"You don't think that just because you have the potential to use a Stand, I have to help you awaken one, do you?"
Seeing the puzzled look on Yuria Nibutō's face, Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile and say something.
"Awakening your Stand wouldn't benefit me at all. Would you just walk down the street and give money to a stranger if you had nothing better to do?"
Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Yuria Nibutang was stunned for a moment, then realized—it seemed that was indeed the case.
She and Qin Chuan were not related; she had only met him once because Yotsuya Miko brought her along. It seemed there was no reason for Qin Chuan to help her awaken her substitute.
But she felt very unwilling to give up just like that.
Yuria Nibutō is a girl who is obsessed with the supernatural, and even dreams of becoming a real exorcist.
Although Yotsuya Miko didn't say it, Nibutō Yuria had already vaguely sensed it—Yotsuya Miko seemed to be able to see some "spirits" that she herself couldn't see.
The most direct evidence is that in the past few days, Yuria Nibutō has been able to see Miko Yotsuya's "stand-in" attacking empty spaces.
She believed that Yotsuya Miko wouldn't be so idle as to let her Stand throw punches for fun; it must be her Stand attacking the evil spirit.
Feeling the gap between herself and Yotsuya Miko, she wants to close that gap—and now, a "stand-in" seems to be the perfect opportunity to do so.
She felt she would regret it for the rest of her life if she missed this opportunity.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned around and looked at Yotsuya Miko sitting next to her, as if hoping that Yotsuya Miko could put in a good word for her.
"I'm sorry, Nibutang-kun, I have no right to make demands of Qin Chuan-kun..."
When Yotsuya Miko saw the look in Nigurodo Yuria's eyes, she could only respond with an apologetic expression.
Of course, she has entrusted her entire life to Qin Chuan. To put it bluntly, Yotsuya Miko should even call Qin Chuan her master.
However, Qin Chuan had no interest in having Yotsuya Miko call him "master" in public, so Yotsuya Miko still used the normal form of address, "Qin Chuan-kun."
But Yotsuya Miko was well aware of her position; she certainly couldn't ask Qin Chuan to do anything.
