Chapter 413: Enjoy (1/2)

”Goodbye for now. I don't know if we will meet again.” Kai smiled and waved his hand.

Mai nodded and smiled back. ”This place will always open for you. Please come and visit us in the future.”

”I will.” Kai nodded. They were outside the village right now without any way to know the position of their entrance. However, Kai could understand their situation.

He had spent six days studying the Oni Language and slept for two days. This meant he had six days to stroll around United Asia with the others. And not a single time he saw the outside of the building. It might be due to Ishii's lack of ambition in the current stage, but it was just his simple way to protect his village.

”Then, it's time for me to go.” Kai smiled and turned around. He walked forward while waving his hand until he entered the pedestrian area.

After that, Kai took out his device and called Michelle.

”Kai? Are you done with your business?”

”Yep. I am outside right now. Where are you? I will go to your location right away.”

”We are in Kanagawa right now. I will send you the exact location.”

”Sure.” Kai then hung up and looked at the mail. After receiving the location, he quickly took the bus without forgetting to wear something to cover his appearance. Although he wasn't as famous as when he stayed in the US Base, some people would surely recognize him.

After one hour of traveling, he reached a restaurant where Michelle and the others waited.

It was a simple family restaurant, so he entered the building after confirming that this place was safe with his ears.

He saw seven people sitting together. It seemed they got the farthest seat, so no one would bother them too much. Besides, this spot would be perfect for Kai since not many people would see him.

”Here you are!” Michelle waved her hand and pulled him inside. ”So, what is your progress?”

”…” Kai twitched his eyebrows while asking. ”You are not talking about my relationship with her, right?”

”Hmm? Isn't that obvious?” Michelle narrowed her eyes and tilted her head as if thinking Kai was a fool.

Kai scratched the back of his head and sighed. ”I don't have any relationship or whatsoever and I have no plan in doing that.”

”But she is a looker, right?” Tasha joined the fray as she began questioning him.

”I do admit she is beautiful, but we are two different races. It's not about the matter of being a zodiac or something anymore. Besides, it's not like she or I have a plan to continue. So, you all don't need to worry.” Kai shrugged.

Michelle and Tasha still looked at him suspiciously while Ayaka chuckled. ”You two are oversensitive. It's not nice when you are asking those questions to him, even if you mean it as a joke. Of course, it's more terrible if you are not joking. Anyway, trust him a bit more, will you?”

Michelle and Tasha looked at each other and lowered their heads. ”We're sorry.”

Kai shook his head helplessly while smiling. ”Haha, I can understand where you're coming from.”

Obviously, the reason why these two pursued this topic was due to his identity as a protector. If he were just a normal genius, they wouldn't be bothering such a thing. Protectors were considered world class in this area, so there was no barrier between races.

”Anyway, what do you want to eat?” Sofia asked while handing the menu.

”Hmm, I will have this one.” Kai pointed at the menu before Haruko called the waitress.

Since the group had finished, Kai ate alone until he was full before turning to Isabelle and Evan. ”How are you two? Are the girls a bit pushy?”

”Nah, they're great.” Isabelle shook her head with a smile. ”Do you have any plan for the rest of our vacation?”

”Nope. I will just follow you guys around.” Kai shrugged.

”I see. We have explored all of the Kanto Region. Our plan is to go around Chubu.” Michelle answered.

”I don't have a problem. Besides, I need to think more about our plan in Dalian. It's going to be tough to be honest.” Kai sighed.

”Do you need help?” Tasha, Ayaka, and Michelle asked in unison.
