"Lord Qin Chuan, Lord Thor!"
When Thor brought Qin Chuan back to Japan and landed in the courtyard of his home, he was immediately greeted by Kanna.
Kanna was clearly in much better shape than before—if Kanna usually seemed a bit lethargic, she looked full of energy today.
She had clearly noticed the changes in her body as well, swaying back and forth in front of Qin Chuan and Thor, saying happily:
"After I got up just now, I felt much better and was able to draw magic from my surroundings!"
As she spoke, Kanna even demonstrated it to Qin Chuan and Thor—electric arcs began to appear around her body, allowing her to use her abilities without needing to recharge.
"Isn't that a good thing? That way, Kanna won't have to work so hard anymore."
Qin Chuan squatted down and patted Kanna's head with a smile. He was quite considerate of this little dragon girl who had come to his home with Thor.
Thor's wish solved Kanna's ability problem, which was indeed a good choice. At least seeing Kanna so happy made Qin Chuan feel much better.
"Was it done by Lord Qin Chuan and Lord Thor?"
Kanna wasn't stupid either. Seeing Qin Chuan and Thor looking like they already knew, she asked them curiously.
"It's all thanks to A-Chuan, Kanna should thank him properly."
Thor, of course, didn't think it was her doing. She wagged her finger at Kanna and said seriously.
"Wow... how did Lord Qin Chuan manage to do that?"
Sure enough, Kanna looked surprised, then grabbed Thor's hand and shook it, like a child begging their parents to tell them a story.
"Hmm, then I'll tell Kanna the whole story in detail."
Thor wore a smug expression—though Qin Chuan had no idea what she was so proud of; perhaps she was proud that she and Qin Chuan had a secret.
After all, no one else knows about the existence of the Dragon Balls and Shenron. Thor is currently the only person in this world who has seen the Dragon Balls and Shenron... or rather, the dragon.
Seeing Thor begin to enthusiastically recount what had just happened to Kanna, Qin Chuan shook his head with a helpless smile and prepared to go wash up.
Don't be fooled by his early "wake-up" appearance; he actually hasn't even washed up yet.
However, just as he was walking towards the washroom, he saw Gabriel looking listless in the hallway.
Gabriel had already changed into her maid outfit, and her face clearly showed dark circles, indicating that she was sleep-deprived—it was obvious that she had stayed up all night playing games again.
"Hey, Qin Chuan."
However, Gabriel was there to work, so she managed to stay awake and didn't just collapse to the ground and fall asleep.
She greeted Qin Chuan, then yawned to herself.
"If you go to school looking like this, Winette will definitely notice that you stayed up all night, right?"
Qin Chuan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw Gabrielle looking like she might fall asleep at any moment.
While it was indeed he who helped Gabriel remove Vinette's "shackles," Gabriel was far too unrestrained. Wouldn't Vinette notice immediately?
"Don't worry, I'll be careful and catch up on sleep when Winette isn't looking."
However, Gabriel waved her hand, indicating that she would catch up on sleep at school in a place where Vigne couldn't see her, so she wouldn't be discovered.
Qin Chuan felt this was probably a bad omen; he figured it wouldn't be long before Vinette came knocking on his door.
Chapter 598 Kato Megumi Attracts Attention
The weekend was over, and Monday had arrived. As usual, Qin Chuan went to school with Kato Megumi.
Now, Qin Chuan basically only goes to school to be with the girls he met there; otherwise, given his current situation, there would be no need for him to come to school anymore.
When Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi walked into the classroom together, all the students turned their gazes toward them. Upon seeing Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi, they all showed knowing expressions.
"So, they came in pairs again..."
"It can't be a coincidence, right?"
"Does this mean the two of them are actually living together or something?"
"I've never heard of them going to school together before..."
For several days in a row, Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi walked into the classroom together.
If it only happened once or twice, the classmates could at least assume it was just a coincidence—Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi simply happened to run into each other on their way to school. But...
But this has been going on for more than just a day or two, so even the most oblivious classmates should have realized that their interactions were probably more than just a chance encounter.
Although Kato Megumi's low profile often leads many to overlook her, she is not truly invisible.
Even with a low profile, being near Qin Chuan, a figure of considerable public interest, meant that many who were paying close attention to Qin Chuan could still notice her. (Jiu)
For example, Miura Yumiko and her group noticed that Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi had been acting together for a long time.
"Kato-san and Qin Chuan seem to be quite close; they even come to school together."
Sitting in a corner seat in the classroom, Hina Ebina watched Qin Chuan and Megumi Kato enter the classroom, and then spoke to Yumiko Miura and Yui Yuigahama beside her. (The last part, "氿," appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly. It's left as is.)
"They've been going to school together for several days in a row now. Maybe they really are living together already."
Despite saying that, Hina Ebina didn't seem surprised at all.
After all, she had already learned what kind of person Qin Chuan was over the weekend—this guy had probably already developed intimate relationships with many girls around him.
Although Kato Megumi doesn't usually attract much attention, if you look closely, it's not hard to see that she is indeed a very cute girl.
So, after talking with Qin Chuan over the weekend, Ebina Hina had already guessed that Kato Megumi was probably already in Qin Chuan's shape.
However, Miura Yumiko, who was standing next to her, was clearly unaware of this, so when she saw Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi's close relationship, she couldn't help but frown:
"Indeed... I feel like Kato-kun is a formidable opponent."
Yumiko Miura was initially in a good mood because she had gone out with Qin Chuan over the weekend, but now that she saw Qin Chuan and Megumi Kato entering the classroom together, she became somewhat anxious again.
Seeing Miura Yumiko's expression, Ebina Hina guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Miura, it's probably not going to work if you just keep being hostile to the girls around Qin Chuan. You need to take the initiative to accept these facts.
Yui Yuigahama, standing next to them, seemed more relaxed. Although she also saw Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi acting together, she seemed completely unconcerned.
After all, Yui Yuigahama is the type of person who is very accepting of other people's ideas, and she already knows that Qin Chuan has many girls around him.
Even so, Yui Yuigahama still tried her best to express her feelings to Qin Chuan over the weekend, so she feels that she has no regrets now.
……
When the first class ended, someone called Qin Chuan out of the classroom—a classmate at the back door told Qin Chuan that someone was looking for him.
Qin Chuan walked out of the classroom and then discovered that standing at the classroom door was actually Yuria Nibutō.
That makes sense. In the original work, Yuria Nimurodo and Miko Yotsuya were students at the same school, so it's normal for Yuria Nimurodo to be at the private Toyonosaki School now.
"What's wrong? Is there something you need from me all of a sudden? Your stand-in should be working perfectly, right?"
Although Qin Chuan didn't know why Nibutang Yuria had come to see him, he still took the opportunity to sense Nibutang Yuria's "qi".
Having confirmed through his "qi" that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Yuria Nibutō's body, he then asked her why she had come to see him.
"I'm here to give you this."
Yuria Nibutō handed a piece of paper to Qin Chuan and then explained.
"I think I'd better apply to join the club."
Qin Chuan took the paper handed to him by Yuria Nibutang and glanced at it—it turned out to be an application for joining the Paranormal Research Club.
This left Qin Chuan somewhat amused and exasperated. The club was originally set up simply to find a place to have lunch, but unexpectedly, the number of members has actually increased.
However, he could understand Yotsuya Miko's meaning. Nibutou Yuria had obtained a Stand from Qin Chuan, and regardless of the special nature of the "Stand" or its connection with Qin Chuan, joining the Paranormal Research Club was the most suitable option.
"No problem, I've received your application to join the department."
Qin Chuan put away his application form, then looked at Yuria Nibutō and said with a smile.
"But you've started calling Miko by her first name... It seems your relationship has gotten quite good."
He remembered that when they met over the weekend, Yuria Nibutō still referred to Miko Yotsuya by her surname "Yotsuya," but now she called her by her first name.
In Japan, calling each other by name is already considered a sign of a very close relationship.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan suddenly felt a mischievous urge. He raised an eyebrow, looked at Yuria Nibutō, and asked:
"So what should you call me?"
"Huh...? Isn't your name Qin Chuan?"
Yuria Nibutō paused, her expression seemingly a little confused—Yotsuya Miko called Qin Chuan "Qin Chuan-kun," so shouldn't she call him that too?
"That's how you address someone, Julia. You need to use a different term."
Qin Chuan leaned down slightly, getting closer to Julia, and smiled as he spoke to her.
"If there's not much of a person around in the future (like Hao Nuo), just call me Master."
Yuria Nibutō has a rather tsundere personality, like a smaller version of Eriri—he'd quite like to try being called "master" by such a tsundere character.
Although Eriri would probably be a little smug and agree if Eriri called her that, since Yuria Nimadedo has already entrusted her life to him, there's no need to make things difficult for Eriri.
"Eh?"
Yuria Nibutō was clearly taken aback by Qin Chuan's suggestion to call her that.
However, seeing Qin Chuan's expectant look, Yuria Nibutang hesitated for a moment, but finally gave in.
She still remembered her promise to Qin Chuan, and she didn't seem to have any grounds to resist.
Her face flushed red. She first looked around to make sure no one could hear their conversation before lowering her voice and saying in a somewhat embarrassed tone:
"Qin Chuan...Master." (The reply came.)
Chapter 599 Goto Ichiri's Round
"Huh? Someone actually applied to join the club? And you even brought the application form back?"
During lunch, Qin Chuan went to the Supernatural Research Club's office and placed Yuria Nimuro's application form on the table, which Eriri saw.
She leaned closer, somewhat curious, and looked at the application form Qin Chuan had placed on the table, carefully examining the name and application information:
"Nibutsudo... Yuria? What a long name, and she's a girl. Did you agree to her joining the club just because she's a girl?"
"Eri, isn't your name pretty long too?"
Kita Ikuyo, who was sitting down with her bento box, couldn't help but smile and comment when she heard Eriri's words.
Although everyone usually calls her Eriri, Eriri's full name is "Sawamura Spencer Eriri," which is much longer than Yuria Nimurodo's.
"And it also has a foreign surname mixed in... It's probably even more troublesome to pronounce than Nibuto-kun's."
Even Goto Ichiri couldn't help but join Kita Ikuyo in making a comment—she seemed to have gotten used to the personalities of the people she ate lunch with.
Even though she has always been somewhat socially awkward, she has gradually gotten used to the way the other members of the lunch team do things, just as easily as she does at home.
"...The point isn't the name, okay!?"
Eriri's face turned bright red, and she realized that she really didn't have the right to criticize others for their names.
"Isn't it good that people are applying to join the club? That way, if someone in the club has to leave due to some reason, at least we won't encounter a situation where there aren't enough members again."
Kato Megumi, who sat down next to Qin Chuan, handed him a large bento box while smiling and speaking to Eriri.
Unlike the others, Kato Megumi knew about Nibutou Yuria—after all, Nibutou Yuria had come to Qin Chuan's house last night.
Kato Megumi lived in Qin Chuan's house, so although she didn't have direct contact with Nibutō Yuria, she did see her.
That night, Qin Chuan casually mentioned Nibutō Yuria to everyone from his bed, so Kato Megumi also knew about Nibutō Yuria's situation.
However, Kato Megumi didn't mention this, since although the members of the lunch team had a good relationship, Eriri, Kita Ikuyo, and Goto Ichiri didn't know about the Stand.
Although Kato Megumi didn't know why Qin Chuan hadn't told them about these things yet, she naturally wouldn't say anything since Qin Chuan hadn't told them.
"I'm not leaving the department."
Upon hearing Kato Megumi's words, Eriri pouted and then looked at the other people in the room.
Whether it was Kato Megumi, Goto Ichiri, or Kita Ikuyo, their expressions were remarkably similar, clearly indicating that they couldn't possibly be leaving the Paranormal Research Club.
It wasn't that they had any interest in paranormal research; the girls present all knew very well what their main purpose was in staying in the Paranormal Research Department.
……
During their casual conversation, everyone finished lunch and prepared to leave.
