Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Alright, alright, where's the barrier?"

"Please follow me." As soon as Hana Sanri finished speaking, she disappeared.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao both widened their eyes.

How am I supposed to follow this?!

"Master, did you see clearly how she left?"

"No."

Hu Tao shook her head. In her sight, the shrine maiden named Hana Sanri vanished in a flash.

With no other option, the two had to search in the village.

In the village.

With a loud voice, Ichito led the members of the Arataki-ha to the old woman's courtyard.

"Grandma, I've come to see you!"

Upon hearing Yi Dou's voice, Granny Gui came out of the house, leaning on her cane.

Yi Dou was a child she raised from a young age, and she treated him like her own grandson.

Looking at the tall and strong-looking Yi Dou, the old woman smiled broadly.

"You've grown taller again, but you're still too thin. You need to eat more..."

Ichidou rolled up his sleeves, revealing his biceps, and said, "I can eat two big bowls of ramen in one sitting! And I'm not thin at all!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not thin. Come in and sit down. I bought your favorite candy at the market last time, and I've been saving it, just waiting for you to come back and eat it..."

"I'm a big kid now, people will laugh at me if I eat candy anymore..."

"I heard last time you were fighting with little kids for candy, but now you're a big kid in your mother-in-law's eyes?"

"That's right, boss, you were eating a lollipop yesterday!"

"Yeah! You were upset for a long time after losing a lollipop yesterday."

With a few henchmen each contributing a sentence, they completely dismantled the table.

One of them punched the other, "Go away, go away, mind your own business! Quickly hand over what I brought!"

"It's been raining a lot lately, so clothes aren't drying easily. I bought you some new clothes, Mother-in-law. Grain prices in the city are much cheaper, so I bought a lot more grain, including some Job's tears. Mother-in-law, your teeth aren't very good, so remember to cook them for a longer time..."

Several people went into the house, and Yi Dou rummaged through things while muttering to himself.

Only with Granny Ghost would this unreliable leader of the Arakkari faction become serious and sensible.

The younger brothers also started working, cleaning, tidying the yard, weeding the vegetable garden, fetching water, cooking...

These things must be done every time I come.

The old woman's smile never stopped as she looked at these hardworking and sensible children.

"Grandma, the weather's nice today, I'm taking the sheets and blankets outside to air them out..."

"it is good......"

Yi Dou, with a lollipop in his mouth, came to the yard carrying flyers and bedding, and carefully hung them on a bamboo pole.

"A fight!"

Jiang Bai, who came to Konta Village to find Hana Sanri, happened to see the new friend that he had been saying he would introduce to Kurumi.

"Ah Bai!" Yi Dou's eyes lit up, and he flipped himself out of the yard with a push.

"Where have you been? I took Genta and the others around town yesterday to ask about you, but we didn't find out anything..."

“I haven’t been in the city for a while.” Jiang Bai pointed to Hu Tao next to him with both hands. “Ta-da! Let me introduce you, this is my hall master, Hu Tao.”

"So this is the hall master you've been talking about all along?" Ichidou said with a look of surprise.

I've heard him talk about it so often, and today I finally got to see him in person.

"Our sect leader is gentle, beautiful, generous, kind, lively, and cheerful... truly one of a kind!" Jiang Bai used a string of compliments to praise her, making Hu Tao a little embarrassed.

"It's not that exaggerated." Hu Tao gave him a playful glare, telling him to take it easy.

Jiang Bai didn't care; he just wanted to praise her.

His aunt is so beautiful, generous, kind, lively and cheerful!

"Master, this is Araki Ichito, a friend I met in Inazuma."

Yi Dou pulled out a comb and flamboyantly combed his hair, trying to make the best impression on his new friend.

"Hello, Master Hu, I'm his boss!"

"Boss?" Hu Tao looked at Jiang Bai with a dangerous gaze.

Why did her younger brother recognize someone else as his elder brother?

"Hahaha..." Jiang Bai looked up at the sky, trying to get away with it.

"I'm his boss!" Hu Tao declared, asserting her dominance.

"What? You actually have another boss!" Yi Dou looked at Jiang Bai in shock.

He wasn't the only boss!

Jiang Bai suddenly felt a strong urge to run away.

"Tell me, who is the real boss?" The two men stared at Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai's forehead was covered in sweat; he never expected things to develop this way.

He just called himself "boss" for fun, how did it escalate into a dispute?

Sora wants to be his boss too. Should we call Sora over and have a fight?

Faced with two death rays, Jiang Bai immediately abandoned Yi Dou and stood next to Hu Tao, massaging her shoulders.

"Of course it's the Hall Master! I belong to the Hall Master in life and in death!"

Walnut was satisfied; that was more like it.

"What about me? Aren't I your boss?" Ichidou pointed stubbornly at himself.

"You're the second eldest!"

"Why is there a second eldest? Does that mean I'll be ranked below you?" Ito looked at Hu Tao, not happy about being ranked behind this thin girl.

Hu Tao proudly raised her chin, "Since you want to be his boss, then naturally you can only be the second boss."

"I refuse to accept this!" Ichidou shouted.

"Then what will it take for you to submit!" Hu Tao shouted back in the same loud voice, not backing down at all.

"Let's have a competition. If you win, I'll admit you're ahead of me!"

"No problem, what's the competition?"

Seeing that the two were about to start competing, Jiang Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood between them, and tried to separate them.

Sumo wrestling!

Ichito spoke of his sport, which he had never lost.

"What?"

Upon hearing about the competition, before Hu Tao could even speak, Jiang Bai immediately raised his voice.

"This won't do! Absolutely not!"

He had been holding a grudge against Kujo Sara for beating him in the previous match, and kept insisting on having a sumo wrestling match with Kujo Sara in the street, saying he wanted to get his revenge.

He didn't know what sumo was at the time, and Ichito and Mamoru deliberately covered for him.

At that time, he knew that unless Kujo Sara was out of his mind, there was absolutely no way he would agree to such a request.

What is sumo wrestling?

Kurumi, who has lived in Liyue since childhood, doesn't really understand Inazuma's niche sport.

"It's when two people are hugging each other, and whoever tackles the other to the ground first wins."

Hu Tao imagined herself wrestling with this giant in front of her, but the image was so bizarre that she quickly slapped it away.

"Why not?" Yi Dou looked at Jiang Bai in confusion. It was a very normal exercise, so he didn't understand why Jiang Bai was reacting so strongly.

"Men and women are different!"

How could Jiang Bai allow Hu Tao to hug another man, not even if it meant a physical confrontation!

His patriarch could only hug him!

"Is that so?" Ichito scratched his head, as if he understood why Kujo Sara hadn't accepted his challenge.

"Then what kind of competition? Insect fighting?"

"No, the sect leader has never played with insect fighting before, nor does he have any ghost beetles..."

"How about a ramen-eating contest?"

"No, the sect leader is a girl, she has a small appetite, she definitely can't beat you..."

"That's better than playing marbles?"

"No, the sect leader wouldn't..."

Yi Dou was annoyed by Jiang Bai's series of "no's". "If this won't work and that won't work, then tell me what to compete in!"

"Let's have a little sparring session," Hu Tao said, stretching her wrists.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Ichidou didn't really want to bully girls.

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow. "Are you underestimating me, the head of this hall?"

Upon hearing her words, Yidou stepped to the side with his right leg, assumed a horse stance, and stretched his neck.

"Since you've made that request, I won't hold back. But don't cry if you get hurt..."

"Go, boss! Go, boss!"

Genta and his friends appeared at some point, cheering for Ichito, while Granny Oni watched with a smile.

Yi Dou rubbed his nose with his thumb, arrogant and unrestrained.

"Let's fight for who's the boss!"

Jiang Bai stepped aside, somewhat unable to bear watching any longer.

"boom--"

Jiang Bai saw Yi Dou fall face down onto the ground.

"Wow...that's amazing!" Genta and the others exclaimed, their mouths agape.

To everyone's surprise, the seemingly frail girl was actually so strong! One move! She took down the boss in one move!

The last time something like this happened, it was Kujo Sara who intervened.

Yi Dou looked completely bewildered.

He was about to throw a punch when, in a flash, he fell to the ground.

Walnut casually brushed off imaginary dust from her hands. "So, have you given up yet?"

"Again! I wasn't paying attention just now!"

Yi Dou got up from the ground.

He refused to believe that he could lose to the girl in front of him in one move!

Hu Tao helplessly shrugged, "Alright, let's do it again then."

Ichito finally saw how Kurumi defeated him.

He saw Hu Tao approach him quickly, so fast that he almost didn't see her clearly.
