#302 - No. 2g～

Hearing White Night Senior's words, Ihei Hairu's expression faltered slightly.

"White Night Senior... are you confessing to me?"

Ihei Hairu asked.

"...How should I put it? If you think it's a confession, then it can be."

Tianyu Baiye said.

"Then it is."

Ihei Hairu said with a smile, "White Night Senior's sudden confession, I haven't prepared myself mentally yet. I will give you a good answer when the time comes ~"

Fortunately, Little Jingli over there didn't notice the content of the conversation between Tianyu Baiye and Ihei Hairu just now, otherwise it would have been a bit offensive to Little Jingli.

............

Tokyo, 24th Ward.

Tianyu Baiye had already brought Yoshimura Eto to the underground labyrinth.

He was dressed in his usual Fire Cloud Robe + White Mask, while Yoshimura Eto was as always wrapped in bandages and draped in a cloak.

"Speaking of the robe you're wearing, you also gave it to that old man before. His strength seemed to have increased significantly at that time. What's going on?"

At this time, Yoshimura Eto suddenly asked.

"Old man? ... Oh, you're talking about the manager."

Tianyu Baiye replied, "Actually, it's because of this Fire Cloud Robe I'm wearing, which is the uniform of the [Akatsuki Organization]. Anyone who wears it will become stronger."

"A piece of clothing can do such a thing? That's impossible, no matter how you think about it, right?"

Yoshimura Eto was immediately surprised.

"To be precise, it's the power of my eyes."

Tianyu Baiye casually explained.

Because he had no way to answer the real answer, he couldn't just bring up the system to talk about, so he could only make up nonsense like this.

Moreover, even if he said the word "system", without explaining for a long time, Yoshimura Eto wouldn't be able to understand what it was.

"It's your eyes again...?"

Yoshimura Eto immediately didn't believe it very much.

However, believing or not believing in this kind of thing doesn't make any sense right now.

"Since you say it's so mysterious, let me try it on?"

Out of curiosity, Yoshimura Eto then asked Tianyu Baiye for the Fire Cloud Robe, and even directly reached out to pull the Fire Cloud Robe on Baiye's body.

"It's not impossible, what's this called? Boyfriend's shirt? No, it should be called boyfriend's robe."

Yoshimura Eto teased Baiye.

"You're still teasing me. I'll give you a new one, which will fit you better."

In his words, Tianyu Baiye immediately opened the system mall through his thoughts.

[Ding! The host has purchased "Fire Cloud Robe * 1", consuming 10 fusion points!]

Immediately afterwards, a brand new Fire Cloud Robe appeared out of thin air in Baiye's hand, and the size was very consistent with Yoshimura Eto's petite figure.

Although this kind of operation of conjuring new clothes out of thin air was not even acted out, he was too lazy to hide it in front of Yoshimura Eto. Anyway, if asked, it was the power of the eyes.

"Try it yourself."

Tianyu Baiye handed the Fire Cloud Robe to Yoshimura Eto.

"Okay."

Yoshimura Eto took the Fire Cloud Robe and took off the cloak on her body on the spot.

Originally, she didn't wear any clothes under her cloak except for bandages, but since she was wrapped tightly in white bandages, there was no hint of exposure.

But before putting on the Fire Cloud Robe, Yoshimura Eto deliberately paused slightly, and teased Baiye, "How is it? Are you tempted?"

Tianyu Baiye immediately rolled his eyes at Yoshimura Eto, "...Who would be tempted by a guy covered in bandages? Also, hurry up."

Yoshimura Eto didn't continue to joke, and put on the Fire Cloud Robe.

She was immediately surprised that it fit so well.

[Ding! The host successfully persuaded Yoshimura Eto to put on the Fire Cloud Robe, and received a reward: 50 fusion points!]

"Did you prepare this Fire Cloud Robe for me a long time ago? It fits so well?"

At this time, Yoshimura Eto asked.

"I guess..."

Tianyu Baiye could only answer like this.

Yoshimura Eto felt it for a while, and said with a slightly surprised tone: "I can really feel my strength has become a little stronger, and it looks better than what I used to wear. I will wear this from now on."

As Tianyu Baiye and Yoshimura Eto walked and talked, they went deeper and deeper into the 24th Ward.

Yoshimura Eto felt as familiar with this place as if she had returned home, after all, she had lived in the 24th Ward for more than ten years.

Along the way, they often encountered other ghouls, but they didn't seem to recognize Yoshimura Eto. As soon as they smelled the unique human scent on Tianyu Baiye, they would come out to attack them.

After all, Yoshimura Eto not only covered her face with bandages, but also rarely returned to the 24th Ward after founding [Aogiri Tree] eleven years ago, so it was normal for the ghouls here not to recognize her.

[Ding! The host defeated a "B-class ghoul" and received a reward: 5 fusion points!]

[Ding! The host defeated an "A-class ghoul" and received a reward: 10 fusion points!]

[......]

The deeper they went, the stronger the ghouls they encountered would be.

Right now, Baiye and Eto encountered a small group. A middle-aged man who looked like a leader finally recognized Yoshimura Eto.

Of course, he recognized her through her scent.

Although many years had passed, he vaguely remembered this familiar scent.

"You are... Eto?!"

The middle-aged man asked Yoshimura Eto with a shocked face.

Back then, a little girl named Eto had killed her way out of a sea of blood and corpses in the 24th Ward, becoming a complete Kakuja. With that age and the extremely chaotic environment of the 24th Ward, it was a miracle among miracles, and he was one of the witnesses, so he had an extremely deep impression of that little girl.

"Oh? There are still people here who recognize me?"

Yoshimura Eto was immediately slightly surprised.

And her words can be regarded as admitting that she is Eto.

"It really is you... Why are you back?"

The middle-aged man immediately asked.

At least in the past ten years, he had hardly heard of Eto's deeds in the 24th Ward, so Eto's sudden return today surprised him very much.

And the younger brothers behind him naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Although they didn't quite understand what was going on right now, they knew from the boss's reaction that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.

"The way you say it makes it sound like I can't come back. Can't I bring my boyfriend back to the place where I grew up to take a look? You're right, darling ~?"

Even at this time, Yoshimura Eto could pull in Baiye and tease him.
