They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"It's up to you."

In fact, Lin Han seemed to be very polite to everyone, but Mangzi knew that this was only because of the other girls. She knew very well what Lin Han was really like.

"Really? Thank you, Sister Mangzi~" Peach's eyes curved into crescents, her long eyelashes blinking, revealing a satisfied smile.

"That's enough for you two." Pingzi gave each of them a tap on the head.

"Little Peach, this is Mangzi's friend, so be mindful of your behavior."

Pingzi said this, but she was actually thinking of Taozi's best interests. Mangzi was always mysterious, and who knew what tricks she would come up with to tease Taozi.

"That's what Sister Mangzi said, whatever I want," Taozi said, looking aggrieved.

"It's alright, Peach, if you like it, just give it a try," Mangzi said with a smile.

In fact, Mangzi's confidence stemmed from her thorough understanding of Lin Han. She was the only person present who knew Lin Han's true identity, and this relationship gave Mangzi a great sense of security.

However, Lin Han was completely unaware of the girls' chatter; he was completely absorbed in his music and in an exceptionally good mood.

When the music stopped, Lin Han lowered his hand, and a notification came from backstage.

[Use the skill card's ability to make four idols sincerely worship you three times (1/3)]

Lin Han then noticed the intense gazes of the four girls at the door.

"Lin Han, you played very well." Mangzi smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Thank you." Lin Han felt a little embarrassed and stood up from his chair.

"Alright, alright, go wash up and go to bed. We need to get up early to see the sea tomorrow," Pingzi said.

"Good~"

The girls yawned and went their separate ways.

Lin Han returned to his room and took a hot shower.

During his bath, Lin Han took another good look at his divine dragon.

Lin Han would always sigh at this time.

Is this really a size that humans could have?

Lin Han, who was already incredibly powerful, became even bigger and stronger after strengthening his physical body!

He can't wait for the system to release the [Procreation Skill Card].

After taking a shower and drying her hair, Lin Han received a WeChat message on her phone.

Who could be looking for me this late?

Lin Han opened her phone with a puzzled look on her face as she dried her hair.

Ms. Hu Yan, General Manager of Pop Media.

"Ms. Orange, it's been over a week since we officially signed the contract. Have you adjusted well? When will you come to the company to complete the formalities?"

Receiving work-related messages while traveling is quite unpleasant, but out of consideration for the ten million, Lin Han patiently typed a reply:

"I've been quite busy lately, maybe next weekend."

“Okay,” Hu Yan replied. “Then next week. The company will arrange a small welcome ceremony for you. Please look forward to it.”

It shouldn't be something like a live stream across the entire internet.

Lin Han was already traumatized by this kind of situation, so he finally replied with "okay" and turned off his phone.

.......

The next morning, Lin Han woke up in bed.

Upon reaching the balcony, Lin Han stretched and was surprised.

A beautiful Nordic-style town appeared before Lin Han.

Blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and the sea in the distance.

It was too dark when I arrived last night, and I couldn't see anything. Only then did Lin Han realize that he had come to a paradise!

106. The Dragon King's Errand

After a quick tidying up, everyone went out.

Although everyone was staying in a charming seaside town, their first stop on the trip was still the city center of Hokkaido.

According to Pingzi's plan, everyone would first go to the city to play, and then come back here in the evening to play at the beach.

After spending time together yesterday, the girls' liking for Lin Han increased significantly. Even Chengzi finally let go of her prejudice against this outsider and began to slowly accept this travel companion.

Therefore, during the journey to the city in the pre-arranged business vehicle, the girls would occasionally mention Lin Han in between their conversations, so that he would feel a little involved.

"Brother Lin Han, have you studied music? You play the piano really well, and your compositions are wonderful!" Peach said.

The sudden address of "brother" didn't make Lin Han feel uncomfortable, because Taozi was indeed very cute, the kind of sweet girl next door. She was a bit taller than Mangzi, but her words and actions made her seem even more petite.

She was wearing a panda coat today, which wrapped her small body up tightly. When she put on the hat, she looked just like a panda.

"I've studied a little," Lin Han said.

Wow, you're already this good after only learning a little bit?

“Of course, I listened to his first recording. I was his first listener. Lin Han has always been quite talented,” Mangzi interjected with a smile.

"so so."

In fact, strictly speaking, Yan Yuli and Teacher Xiaofang were the first listeners.

"You've even recorded a song? What's it called?" Pingzi asked curiously.

As a professional idol, I'm quite sensitive to this kind of thing; Lin Han might even be a colleague.

As a senior colleague, Pingzi could offer him some guidance.

"I'm just a high school student, I don't know any better, I was just recording for fun." Lin Han was worried that Mangzi might let something slip, so he quickly answered.

"Really? To be honest, I think you're very talented. You play the piano exceptionally well," Pingzi said. "Do you know that rising star in the music scene lately? His name is Orange Jam. He also plays the piano wonderfully, and his compositions are full of imaginative ideas. He's really amazing. I think you could learn a lot from him. If you work hard, I think you have a lot of potential!"

Pingzi's old habit of lecturing others has resurfaced. Normally, as the eldest sister in the group, she's always guiding the younger members, constantly instilling in them the ideals of a good idol and teaching them how to become even better idols. Now, seeing her younger brother Lin Han, Pingzi has inadvertently started again.

"Okay, I will definitely learn more from Orange Jam!" Lin Han said seriously.

"For a while, Mangzi was sharing videos of Juzi Jam with us every day. She probably shared quite a few with you too," Chengzi said.

Upon hearing this, Mangzi immediately looked out the window as if nothing had happened. Lin Han looked at Mangzi with a completely bewildered expression.

Then, Mangzi suddenly turned around and said with a smile:

"Ah...yes! Orange Jam is really amazing, I like him a lot, right Lin Han?"

"Right?" Lin Han said, embarrassed.

.......

The girls' first stop was a ramen shop.

This is a decades-old establishment, very famous in Hokkaido.

The shop has a typical cherry blossom-themed decor. A bowl of tonkotsu ramen costs over forty yuan. Lin Han, who has been poor since childhood, has never eaten such a thing before. Even though he doesn't have to pay for it, he still feels very distressed.

Lin Han could accept a seafood buffet costing 300 yuan per person, and a high-end restaurant costing several thousand yuan per meal, but a bowl of ordinary noodles costing over 40 yuan that seemed to have no value for money at all really annoyed him.

It's like this: a student girl who normally costs 300 yuan a night is being sold for 1,800 yuan. Honestly, it's not about whether it's expensive or not. Your breasts are so wide that they're almost big enough for Lin Han to stick half of his penis in. How can you be so shameless?

Lin Han would rather spend 100,000 to find the same style as Yi Feng's; at least it's high-quality!

However, Lin Han also knew that if he continued to have this kind of mentality, he would not be happy no matter where he traveled.

At least, this side looks pretty good.

The girls happily took out their phones to take pictures of the cherry blossom-themed decorations, the cherry blossom-themed ramen, and the cherry blossom-themed ramen chef, keeping themselves very busy. After all, this could be considered a "local flavor."

It turns out that even idols are no different from little girls when they go out and have fun.

"Aren't you going to take pictures?"

Lin Han saw the calm Mangzi and asked.

"What's so interesting about filming? It's something I've seen since I was a child."

"You've seen it since you were a child? You're a cherry blossom person?"

"You just know?"

"I just found out." This was something Lin Han hadn't expected.

Although when he first met Mangzi, he felt that Mangzi was like a cherry blossom person just from her name, he later found that the whole group called her that, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Let me tell you another secret," Mangzi said with a smug smile. "I used to be Chiba's second-in-command."

The sound was quite loud, not at all like a secret.

"What do you mean?" Lin Han asked.

"Literally, the number two figure in the Chiba underworld," Mangzi said with a smile.

"Don't take it seriously. That's just how Mangzi is. He talks trash all the time," Orange reminded Lin Han from a distance.

"Mangzi never brags!" Mangzi glared at Chengzi with disdain.

"Haha, of course I don't believe that," Lin Han replied to Orange with a laugh.

What a fart!

How old is Mangzi? He's already the second-in-command?

"Have you ever heard of the Dragon King?" Mangzi continued.

"Who?"

Lin Han really wanted to ask, "Can this Dragon King spout water?"

"Sakura is the first delinquent girl in Sakura Province. Everyone in Sakura knows her name. Do you know why Sakura is so chaotic? It's because there are too many delinquents! And the Dragon King is the god of all delinquents!"

When Mangzi said this, his eyes were full of light.

In line with his words, Mangzi practically had "I am a member of the Bad Guys" written all over his face.

"so?"

"Heh heh, don't be scared."

Mang Zi raised his fork, and this time his voice finally lowered.

"I used to run errands for the Dragon King."

That's it?!

Judging from Mangzi's tone, Lin Han almost thought she was the Dragon King.

He can brag about running errands? Just how ruthless is this Dragon King?!

"Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the Dragon King is, he can only rule the underworld," Mangzi suddenly sighed.

It would be a big problem if they could control the legitimate world, right?!

"Actually, I often have a dream where the Dragon King retires and starts writing novels, singing, and making movies, gradually ruling the world with entertainment and truly unifying the underworld and the legitimate world. I believe that in some parallel world, all of this is real!" (Parallel World: "Being a Delinquent Girl Wouldn't Choose Elegance")

When Mangzi said this, her face was full of longing; you wouldn't guess she had such an innocent side.

Just then, Pingzi walked over.

"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's go! Our next stop is the shrine!"

P.S.: I have a small question. In the Hokkaido trip chapter, I slowed down the pace considerably. How did everyone feel about it? Is it better to maintain this pace, or revert to the previous one?

107. Girls' Kimono Experience

Inari Shrine, a famous shrine in Hokkaido, has a long history and has gradually become a well-known tourist attraction in the area as times have changed.

Since it's not the peak tourist season in Hokkaido right now, there aren't many people.

Pingzi had clearly done her travel planning; as soon as they arrived at the shrine, she led everyone straight to the kimono shop.

Nothing offers a better experience of local life than donning a kimono and praying at a shrine.

"Welcome!" The shop manager greeted everyone with a smile, and upon seeing the girls' faces, he excitedly clasped his hands together.

"What beautiful ladies! You can try on any kimono in the store~ If you want to take photos or rent one, the fee is 100 yuan per hour."
