LRAB Chapter 42 Hiratsuka Shizuka
Chapter 42 Hiratsuka Shizuka
And so everyone had a fulfilling day.
Time passed little by little.
The sky was also dyed golden yellow.
Meanwhile, in Chiba, at the entrance of an izakaya (Japanese pub).
An Aston Martin V12 Vantage slowly drove toward the entrance.
Sitting in the driver's seat of the car was a mature woman with long, straight black hair, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a white coat.
Her name is Hiratsuka Shizuka.
A high school teacher.
However, she doesn't look too well right now.
It seems like something unpleasant happened, and you urgently need someone to comfort you.
I was in a fit of impotent rage for a while in the car.
Then I found a parking space and parked my car.
He then headed towards his destination, an izakaya (Japanese pub), and went inside.
The interior of the izakaya was very comfortable.
This atmosphere is completely different from other izakayas; it's lively yet cozy.
The warm yellow light inside the room spills into every corner, the wooden tables and chairs are arranged in a pleasing, staggered manner, and the walls are adorned with photos and small decorations that exude a sense of everyday life.
The guests sat together, chatting quietly, their faces beaming with relaxed smiles.
Behind the bar, the owner was skillfully mixing various drinks, occasionally cracking a joke with the customers, which made everyone chuckle.
The door opened and then closed again.
Hiratsuka Shizuka also came in, taking off her white coat as she did so.
"Xiao Jing is here."
"Yeah, Uncle Sakamoto is the same as always."
"no problem."
The owner, named Sakamoto, agreed and went to prepare the food.
Hiratsuka Shizuka sat in her designated seat in front of the boss and placed her clothes in the cabinet next to her.
After a while.
The owner also poured a glass of chilled beer and sent it over to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka in a bad mood, the boss put down his glass and teased her.
"Xiaojing seems to be in a bad mood today. What's wrong? Did your blind date fail again?"
Sakamoto's single sentence hit the nail on the head.
"Uncle Sakamoto, if it weren't for your age, I would definitely punch you." In response to the boss's words, Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes at Sakamoto, then continued, "Yeah, another failed blind date today."
Don't be discouraged, fate can't be rushed.
Sakamoto smiled and offered words of comfort to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Faced with Uncle Sakamoto's words of advice, Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her hand dismissively.
"Okay, you can go ahead with your work."
"Okay, you can have some first."
After finishing his talk, Uncle Sakamoto started making food.
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at it slowly, holding the glass in both hands.
I really want to experience a sweet romance!
How old am I this year?
I think she's 27.
I'm already 27 years old (actually), 28 (nominally), 29 (half), and 30 (not really).
I feel like I'm getting old.
And someone like me doesn't even have a partner yet!
Nobody wants to date me on blind dates.
He just likes to smoke, drink, and occasionally race cars and play fighting games.
Feeling depressed, Hiratsuka Shizuka took a big gulp of water.
"Ha~"
"So comfortable~"
The frustration of Hiratsuka Shizuka's failed blind date was somewhat dispelled by this glass of ice-cold beer.
He sipped the beer down, one sip at a time.
Hiratsuka Shizuka also felt much better.
After a while, the owner brought out the dishes that Hiratsuka Shizuka usually ordered and refilled her cup.
"Uncle Sakamoto, I didn't order this."
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the extra plate of tempura and called out to Uncle Sakamoto.
Uncle Sakamoto didn't look up, he just said casually.
"This is for you."
"Don't give up your hope for love because of a little setback; you will meet it eventually."
Hiratsuka felt a warmth in her heart and replied with a smile, "I understand, thank you, Uncle Sakamoto."
And so Hiratsuka Shizuka ate delicious food and drank alcohol.
The evening began happily.
The sky gradually darkened.
The izakaya's customers come and go.
Slightly drunk, Hiratsuka Shizuka paid the bill and got up to leave.
Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a white card.
Hiratsuka Shizuka also picked up the card and looked at it.
"Summoning a demon and paying a corresponding price to fulfill your wish?"
"Uncle Sakamoto, where did you get this?"
Uncle Sakamoto peeked out and saw the card in Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand, and thought for a moment.
"This belongs to my granddaughter. She says it can summon demons to grant wishes."
"Besides, there are no real demons in this world; they're just for teasing children."
After listening, Hiratsuka couldn't help but smile, thinking it was just a child's game.
"Yeah, it's for teasing kids."
She had intended to put it down, but under the influence of alcohol, she inexplicably stuffed the card into her pocket.
He took his clothes and left the izakaya.
Looking at the moon in the sky, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled.
They were also walking in the direction of home.
As for the car, we'll deal with that tomorrow.
... ... ... ...
Inside Ye Xiao's large manor.
The group finished their day of training.
"Everyone, you've worked hard in training. Let's go home together."
"It's finally...it's finally over."
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Hyōten Issei's vision went black and he fainted.
Today is the day.
A whole day!
Hyōten Issei was rammed by Elsa in her enchanted pickup truck countless times.
So what if you knock them out?
At least I don't have to train anymore.
But we couldn't handle having two healers in the team.
They literally pulled the unconscious Heiji Teng back to life to continue the brutal training.
The kitten was also soaked to the bone.
My foundation was already quite good, so I started practicing directly from the manual.
So today was quite fruitful.
Yuto Kiba also spent a day learning breathing techniques from Kanae, enabling him to fight using only his physical body without relying on magic or the "Demon Sword Creation".
So, it can be considered that we have gained something.
Gaspar was a close friend of Issei Hyōtō.
As everyone knows, Senior Zhu Nai is a slight sadist.
So those who know about Gaspar's training know it all.
Asia and Valerie also looked a little pale, after all, they had used the artifact's power many times more often than usual today.
After all, it's to help Issei Hyōten recover quickly and get back into training.
This has led to the depletion of magical power within everyone's bodies.
Therefore, Ye Xiao needs to replenish mana.
"Brother... Asia feels that she needs to replenish her mana."
"Me...me too."
The two leaned against Ye Xiao and whispered to each other.
"OK."
Ye Xiao nodded.
Asia boldly tilted her head back and kissed him in front of everyone.
"Oh my gosh~ I didn't expect Asia to become so bold~" Akeno teased as she watched the scene.
Asia was already blushing, and these words made her blush even more.
Valerie swallowed hard as she looked at Ye Xiao's neck.
Since that place has been occupied...
Valerie leaned against Ye Xiao's chest and gently bit down on his neck.
