Chapter 3: The Journey

Location: Taiwan Time: 2:43 PM

Senior and the five-colored rooster head froze

“Aih…We didn’t quite catch that just now” The five-colored rooster head grabbed the ‘enjoy the cool air, brave one’ clothing in his hand, stunned as he looked at my mom

“Do you guys want to go on a ten-day cruise? It just so happens that Auntie still has two ether” My ree”

I looked toward Senior and the five-colored rooster headOne of them’s parents were unknown, and the other’s parents were assassins…

“Can we really go!?” Unexpectedly, the five-colored rooster head suddenly stood up and looked atshi+ny, “This is a faht? This is one of those faht?”

Mo first: “Uh, that’s right”

The five-colored rooster head’s reaction was really too strangeCould it be that they’ve never gone out with the whole family before?

“Ziray, your faether?” I looked at the five-colored rooster head, and asked the question in my heart

“Nope” Quickly answering me, the five-colored rooster head didn’t hesitate at all as he said: “My faether, but once in a while, I carry out a uy to kill…mmph…”

I instantly rushed over to cover his mouth the moment before the word appeared

“Wha, what about Senior?” Right now the first thing I need to do is to ie the topic

Glancing at id: “My parents have been dead for a long time”

I’m really sorry I poked at your sore spot…No wait! I didn’tPlease be ainst me!

The five-colored rooster head pulled h to alers

“Aih…So that’s the case” Mom’s sympathy started to shoide-eyed as she looked at the two children with unfortunate childhoods in front of her: “How about you spend the New Year with us this year? Everyone gathering around the fireplace for the New Year does have that sort of mood”

“What’s gathering around a fireplace?” The five-colored rooster head blinked as he looked at my mom

“Oh, it’s when everyone eats hot pot together, and there’s also a lot of oing on a cruise this year, I guess everything will be prepared for us on the shi+p” Saying this with a s her head to ask for Dad’s opinion, “Then it’s been decided that the re’s senior and classmate’s”

“Sure” Dad nodded very amiably, “However, you two need to tell a family me e return”

Basically, I think whether it’s Senior or the five-colored rooster head, they shouldn’t be people ould be reported

“Great, then I’ll go call right away to get rid of all the work…stuff” The five-colored rooster head happily held his phone and ran off to make his call

Sitting in the salanced at my dad andyouApart from our tickets, Ziray and I will be responsible for any extra expensesBoth of us have bank savings from work”

“It doesn’t matterChu Dad also has money to spendTwo more kids won’t add uys should keep it instead” Elevating himself from Uncle to Chu Dad on his own, Dad enthusiastically and kindly told Senior

Dad, to be honest actually…Senior and the five-colored rooster head probably don’t think anything of that bit of expenses at all; they’re the richest people I’ve ever metYou can rest assured and let them pay for themselves!

“We can shoulder the responsibility ourselves, and our fa to pay” Senior had clearly already taken out his unknown family members as an excuse

“That’s right, just put it directly on my old man’s account” The five-colored rooster head, who just happened to hang up and turned back, cheerfully echoed, “My old man has a lot of money, so it’s fine for us to all spend our own family’s money”

“But…”

“Dad!” I immediately interrupted what my dad still wanted to say: “Really, Senior and Ziray’s family are both very rich, so you can just let them spend their own moneyOtherwise, their parents won’t feel at ease” The point is, it’s actually their families that are probably far richer than us!

“Yeah, my fa…”

Before the five-colored rooster head could say the four words “ lives,” I immediately covered his mouth for the second time

Your faood!

“I guess it’ll have to be that way” My mom finally spoke, “But you two shouldn’t force yourselvesIf you need help, don’t be courteous: tell Auntie and Uncle”

“We will” Senior revealed a high-level perfunctory smile

After listening to everything on the sidelines, Ming Yue finally put down the cup in her hand, “There’s still a week from now till the New YearWe’ll have to set off for the shi+p in about five daysYou guys should also return hos have to be turned in before we go on board”

“Eh, I don’t have a passport!” I suddenly reone out of the country before, because I still didn’t want to see the plane crashi+ng or flying out into space

“Oh, that you don’t need to worry aboutI got everything ready” Moht smile

Speaking of which, I wonder if Senior and the five-colored rooster head have a passportIf we discover that they don’t have a passport after inviting the

“I have the right to go anywhere in the original world” Senior glanced at me and said

Oh right, I alot Senior is a black robeI heard that black robes are a o everywhere unimpeded

In that case, the five-colored rooster bread will also have one, because he has to go everywhere to kill people…Ahaha, I’ too

“Then I’ll go back to get so around the fireplace” The five-colored rooster head once again removed my hand, and said very happily

“I heard that if you wear strange clothes in some places on the shi+p, you’ll be blocked outside” Senior, who had a lot of complaints about his clothes, coldly threw out this sentence

“Don’t worry, this uncle’s clothes are all carefully selected first-rate clothes”

Senior, you forgot this person’s eyes aren’t normal

Looking at Senior who didn’t want to talk anyo over and pat his shoulder

“Then I’ll go back first to get my clothesChu Dad, Chu Mom, see you later!” The five-colored rooster head, as already joyful to the extreme, held his ‘enjoy the cool air, brave one’ and quickly said goodbye toanyone to lead the way as he rushed out of the porch and disappeared into the sunset

“Your classmate’s very proactive” My dad said with a smile

In fact, that simply isn’t normal at allPlease don’t take it as an ordinary joke

“Then it should be tiant motion completely different from the five-colored rooster head

“Eh? Senior, don’t you have nothing else to do?” I re back to the doro back to the dorm now…”

A fierce gaze glared back the words I didn’t get to finish saying

“Since you have nothing to do if you go back, want to stay at our house?” Unexpectedly, Ming Yue actually took the initiative to speakShe looked at ’s senior stayed here beforeIf he goes back, there’ll only be the school dor at our house be better? At any rate, we’re going New Year shopping for these two days…Although you said we’re spending the New Year on board this year, we still need to buy basic things, so wouldn’t having another guy at home like this be more convenient?”

Please don’t arbitrarily treat Senior as a member of the human-powered transport, okay? I can already see black lines appearing on Senior’s head

“If you put it that way, it does seereed with my sister!

This isn’t true at all if you put it that way!

“Yang Yang’s senior, how about staying for the New Year shopping for a few days?” Patting Senior’s shoulder, Mom used a very-kind-and-amiable-but-already-had-the-shadow-of-demon smile to say, “For these few days, Chu Mom will fully display her skills and make a lot of New Year dishes oh, ones that you won’t be able to eat outside”

“That’s right, that’s right, having more people around is alsoback to the dorht now” My dad also joined in on persuading death…I mean, the ranks of persuasion: “And Chu Dad also has a lot of popular products for you to eat”

You’re treating Senior as someone who consumes popular products!?

Now that the whole situation had already beco state

Then, Senior turned his head, his black eyes glaring at me like lasers, “Chu, I really have to ‘thank you so much’ for your extra words”

Every one of his words seemed to be tied to needles as they stabbed toward my headI felt like my entire scalp was already numb, “Uh…You’re welcome”

I started to suspect that I should go apply for a high coverage insurance

Usually, when it was close to New Year’s Eve, there would always be a New Year Street appearing in our don area

A long, long oneAlthough it wasn’t as spectacular as the one in the North, it’s alreadyStreet vendors, different snacks, and supplies from all over would arrive here in succession before the Lunar New YearThis sort of situation would always continue till New Year’s EveThen, after everyone has purchased enough goods, we’d stay at ho in the new year

“Senior, you’ve never visited the New Year Street when you ca at Senior, as auto room, I curiously asked

Senior paused his action and glanced at : “I suppose I haveOne tiroup of insects, and ended up de the whole street” He used a very cal

A whole street being deet on the news!?

Nor like this happens, it’d definitely become the lead story!

“Ah, it seeas explosion in the depart into an icy, scary s extent of the Guild’s power

You guys are just too terrifying!

You guys are just too terrifying!

“Yang Yang” The one interrupting our conversation was one upstairShe looked at us for a ? Mo out laterMy friends and I arranged to see a o out, buy some candy on the way backSo bye”

“Oh, okay” I reached my hand out to my sister

“What”

“You guys told us to buy soive us the money?”

My sister raised an eyebrow, “Weren’t you working? Now’s the time to present your efforts”

You’re telling someone else to spend his own blood-sweat-and-tears money

“I’ on board in a few days, so you don’t need to buy too h”

“Okay” I quickly took those two bills and turned to Senior, “Then let’s go shopping at New Year Street, Senior” I’ve been looking forward to it for the whole year, and I can finally go shopping there again

“Why do I have to go shopping with you?” The word “disgust” clearly appeared on Senior’s face

“Aih…How about treating it as a way to unwind?” Otherwise if you shut yourself up in your room every day like this, not only will it be easy to close yourself off, you’ll become cranky too

“Fk!” A shoe sole directly appeared before my eyes and kicked me away

I’ain…

“You two little brothers, reo outMos” My sister pattedthe above words, she leisurely walked away again

I turnedout on his face

Oh right, I forgot Senior is also younger than my sister

It was alht now the New Year Street should be very lively, “Then, Senior, let’s have dinner at New Year Street?” My sister, dad and uess there won’t be any dinner waiting for us and we’ll have to do it ourselves instead

“Whatever” Picking up the hat on the table, Senior tidied his clothes while he was at it

“Then let’s head out”

In fact, when it was almost ten, the New Year Street was already open

The closer it was to the New Year, the bigger the crowdsThe week before the New Year, students going to class, and people going to work all put down their original schoolwork and jobs, enjoying a rare vacation

After leaving the house, Senior and I didn’t talk at all, walking in silence for a distance long enough to make one feel chilled

As soon as we entered the don area, the a

In recent years, because of developathered in Zhunan, and the people in the don area decreased insteadIt’s only during New Year that this place beco

[T/N: Zhunan is an urban townshi+p in northern Taiwan]

Crossing a street, from afar I could see that behind the road section, the entire consistently-lit street was full of streetlights

[T/N: Could also be Jiguang Street, which is a shopping district in Taiwan but it’s probably not the place in the novel because the time doesn’t match up]

It was different froh it also had northern and southern goods, most of the stalls sold mainly candyA little bit in the back, you could even see people with sheep and those presenting goat inal stores that placed small stalls out a little to attract attentionTheir special-priced jewelry quickly ularly

“This is the New Year Shopping Street?” Looking at the endless candy area, Senior asked

“Oh, that’s right, it’s like this every yearLast tiht a bunch of candy ho a couple, I ran two steps to Senior

There were quite a lot of people over here, et separated

The lively noises going back and forth resounded, and the section near the back also invited a school orchestra to performThe whole atmosphere was very spirited

“Students, want to buy so in front of a stall and selling candy handed a piece of cotton candy to us, “I can make it cheaper for you oh”

“We’ll keep that inSenior as the crowd moved forward, I looked around to see if there was any stall where we could eat at

The a increased, and i could see that most of the stalls with seats all had people

Drats, then we’ll have to eat while alk

Drats, then we’ll have to eat while alk

“Chu, what is that?”

Just when I was agonizing over it and was about to tell Senior about the eating-while-alk-matter, Senior, who had walked in front, suddenly stopped and pointed to a stall nearby, asking

“Oh, that’s deep-fried milk” I don’t think I saw this stall last yearLately, even the snack stalls have grown in variety, “Senior has never eaten one?”

Senior shook his head

…Could it be that, Senior, you really are the legendary type of person who only eats in first-class restaurants and doesn’t know about the common people’s stalls?

“Annoying!” The person, whouessed correctly with, directly smacked the back of my head

“Then Senior, do you want to try it out?” While rubbing ave them to the vendorIt probably took less than a few seconds before a oiled paper bag was given in exchange, “In fact, this is actually pretty tasty…depending on your personal taste” My sister thought it tasted terrible

Passing the bag to Senior, he picked one up and took one bite before frowning: “Such a disgusting taste”

Uh oh! Senior hates eating fried food!

But didn’t he eat burgers and fried chicken before?

“Aih…Senior, if you don’t want to eat it, just throw it away…” Everyone has different tastesI personally think it tastes delicious

Holding that paper bag, I ate the re ones inside

“It’s fine” Probably forcing himself as he ate the sweets, Senior quickly answeredwasteful

“Uh, then do you want to eat so around, most of the nearby stalls were fried foods and the like, such as hotdogs, French fries, salty fried chicken, etc…I guess Senior probably wouldn’t want to hold a sausage and bite it while alk, right?

Oh oh! I see so shaomai; a savior has appeared!

[T/N: type of steas with the top open]

“I saw this in a previous ht, Senior also looked at that small, yet filled with many different styles, shaomai stall, “What is that?”

I looked at what Senior was pointing to, “Oh, that’s a wheel pie…Unlike the egg cakes we ate thisbean stuffing and the like”

“…” Senior turned his head back

Yikes, it can’t be that tonight is going to turn into a snack trip?

After paying, Senior and I each held a box of shaomai as we continued to drown in the crowd

Honestly, it’s a bit difficult to hen you’re squeezed in a crowd, so we quickly found a randos of candy andbonusto withdraw to the back of the street

The back of the street also had some scattered vendors, but there were already less than the people in the frontMost of the candy too, and occasionally there were a few beverage stalls

After we stopped to buy two cups of pluroups of people, standing on the di the food in our hands

“So this is what the original world’s New Year Shopping Street is like” After Senior got rid of the things in his hands, he issued such a conclusion

Aih…Actually it’s not exactly correctFor exas that are more like the official products of the north and southThis place isone

[T/N: Traditional , Taiwan

Raising lanced at my watchThe two of us have probably been outside for al…Senior?” Turningnext to the electricity company

What is he looking at?

Following suit and shi+ftingon top of that awning…In fact, I’s!

There’s no way on earth a three-headed black cat can exist and to even be swaying near the New Year Shopping Street!

With a “pa,” the back of s, come here!”

Before I could even react, ed hard, and a second later, I was in the air and flung up–

Senior! Don’t do this sort of thing that humans wouldn’t do in a place with lots of people!

Once my feet landed, I was shocked to find that I had been thrown up to that high point by SeniorThat three-headed cat stood in front of us, swaying its nine tails

Is this really a cat?

Once my feet landed, I was shocked to find that I had been thrown up to that high point by SeniorThat three-headed cat stood in front of us, swaying its nine tails

Is this really a cat?

“Prince Chang Ge, it’s rare to see you in the original world” Taking off his hat, Senior’s black hair fully regained its original silvery white lookThen disregarding the fact that this should be a no-cli area, he sat down

That three-headed nine-tailed cat actually sat down in front of Senior tooWhat’s even scarier was that he actually opened his mouth and spoke: “Prince Icy Fla here” The cat’s voice was thin and high-pitched, a bit like a girl’s voice and also a bit like a little boy’s voice; soft, not piercing, and comfortable

“Nn, because it just happened to be vacation tiinal world to shop” Senior grabbedGe”

“Uh, hello, I ah it was very weird, I still politely bowed to the very strange cat

The cat’s three heads nodded slightly at me, “I’ve heard of your name, however, it wasn’t in the sealed world”

“The sealed world?” It was the first tie name

[T/N: Probably going to change the name later]

“It’s referring to the world of the school” Senior glanced at inal world”

Oh, so that’s the case
