Chapter 411 (1/2)

”Listen up! If you screw up in front of my family I am going to make you sleep on the street, capiche?”

Itsuka Kotori reminded Wu Yan for the nth time. It's like she has zero trust in his acting ability.

Wu Yan wanted to sigh as he gaze up at the sky but seeing the house in front of him made him stop. Something about this felt odd.

Wu Yan isn't sure why he followed Itsuka Kotori home.

He's still trying to piece together the puzzle of why she had a red sealing bracelet on her.

This is the first time he came here and the first time he met with Itsuka Kotori. How did she obtain the bracelet?…

This world developed its own sealing bracelet?…

The System reminded him that the sealing bracelet can only be found in the system.

Which means, the bracelet she has at the moment came from the system.

That raises another question, they just met today and they were like strangers at first, given that he has never been to this world before and he had only used the sealing bracelet once on Flandre-chan.

How did Itsuka Kotori obtain her sealing bracelet? Where is the other halve of the bracelet? If she's wearing the bracelet, does that mean her spirit powers are sealed at the moment?

Still trying to figure the aforementioned 3 questions, he subsconciously nodded after Kotori invited him into Ratatoskr.

Voilà, now he's a part of Ratatoskr with the position of a senior counter-measure officer.

Ratatoskr has technology on par with the AST, if not outright more modern equipment. The critical weakness of Ratatoskr is their lenient att.i.tude towards spirits. They couldn't go toe to toe with AST or any military organization with their pacifist nature, what with trying to save spirits as opposed to outright killing them.

Wu Yan's appearance filled their organizational need. He had the battle strength as witnessed by Kotori and others when he fought against AST members, he could probably hold his own against spirits.

If they didn't make him a senior officer, it's going to be an injustice to Wu Yan's ability.

Wu Yan also wasn't clear why he followed Itsuka Kotori home. Apparently…

”You're telling me you have some other place you can crash at?”

Wu Yan thought about it for a second and he conceded that she had a point.

He had enough gold on hand to buy a mansion but he reckoned that it would better to live with a cute girl than have a whole mansion all to himself.

He's also curious about Itsuka s.h.i.+do, the protagonist of this world. The main character of Hayate the Combat Butler and Toaru no Majutsu Index had s.h.i.+t-tier luck. He's worried that their bad luck might infect him so he stayed well away from them.

More importantly, Itsuka s.h.i.+do is like Hikaru Genji.

He had managed to conquer Itsuka Kotori's route when she's still young. If this world is identical to the original work, Itsuka Kotori is an unsalvageable brocon mess.

He felt a bit disappointed at the thought of this. Itsuka Kotori is a very cute girl but since she already has someone who is good for her, Wu Yan isn't interested in netorare (Tl: or cuckold) the poor guy.

Wu Yan's disappointed look didn't escape Kotori. She s.h.i.+vered and she bared her cute fangs at him.

”What nefarious schemes are you hatching now?”

Wu Yan laughed her off.

”Why are you implying that I am thinking of something evil again?”

Kotori snorted and she turned the other way. She hesitated at her door. She turned around and reminded him.

”I am saying it again, don't screw up in front of my family or you're going to sleep in the street…”

Wu Yan's expression collapsed.

”You said that many times now…”

”I am afraid you're gonna forget.”
