Chapter 80: 80. Boys Talk?
Guys, I need your opinion. I would like to introduce a manga with an MC who has a system in Teyvat. But, I don't know which manga is suitable to introduce system themes.
What I had in mind are;
•Tensura
•Solo Leveling
•Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
•Arifureta
•Kumo desu ga
•The Gamer
•Re: Monster
Or perhaps any manga/manhwa/manhua I don't know.
Aside from that, here's a new chapter.
— — — —
Ryūhei told his story to Ayaka, Ayato, and Thoma. Naturally, he still hid some secrets from them. One of them was Jiu who was none other than an earth dragon and once rampaged in The Chasm.
Well, if Ryūhei told them her identity and let her transform, they would be scared shit in that instant. Anyway, there was no way Ryūhei would do something like that.
At that moment, Thoma opened his mouth.
"If you have that talent, why did you go to Liyue? Wouldn't it be better for you to cooperate with Lady Yae then?"
"I want to, however Inazuma was too chaotic back then and even happened until now. That was the reason I decided to try my luck outside. In addition, Liyue is the biggest economic hub of the seven nations. That alone has already convinced me to start my business in that nation."
"You have a point."
Ayato found it weird since Ryūhei didn't say something like this before his departure toward Liyue. However, what he said was quite reasonable. After all, Liyue was also the source of Mora, knowing the Geo Archon was the one who created it. As well as a nation of contracts. Because of those reasons, Liyue became the biggest economic hub of the continent.
"I guess you did well in that nation. Did you remember what I said at that time?"
"Hmm, which one?"
"The one before you decided to go."
'Oh' Ryūhei remembered. Due to unpleasant rumors, Ayato challenged him to prove that the Ryūhei could stand side by side in status.
"I remember." Ryūhei nodded.
"Then, what do you think?"
Ryūhei knitted his brow.
"You want to talk about that here?"
After Ryūhei said that, Ayato glanced at Ayaka. But then he laughed. "Hahaha. Then, we will talk about that later."
"What are you talking about?" Ayaka was clueless at their conversation. Still, she was kinda curious about that.
"This is a secret. It's not good for your health."
"If you don't tell me, I will eavesdrop on your conversation."
"Fine then. Lend me your ear." Ryūhei approached her before whispering. "We are talking about a book that contains 64 sex positions."
All of a sudden, Ayaka grabbed the folded hand fan and threw it at him. Though, Ryūhei easily dodged it. Then, she stood up before walking away as she said.
"Pervert!"
Ayato and Thoma couldn't hear his whisper. But, from her reaction, Ryūhei must have said something indecent.
On the other hand, Ryūhei laughed at her reaction before he said to Ayato.
"Let's find a place to talk!"
— — — —
Ryūhei and Ayato walked toward the Chinju Forest in the southwest of the Kamisato estate. It was a bit eerie because the sun couldn't lighten that area.
Ryūhei created the curtain to prevent someone from eavesdropping.
"Now, we can talk!" Ryūhei said to Ayato.
"I find this technique fascinating. How much technique did you learn from the Adeptus?"
"A lot. Perhaps, this is the advantage of being Visionless. Anyway, let's go back to the main topic. To be honest, I hate the thing you said at that time. Perhaps, you encouraged me to be a suitable person for your little sister. However, what you said hurt me a lot. You see, the engagement was predetermined long ago. But since I am the last descendant of the Niwa clan, I can't refuse. And this was also my late father's will! In addition, I don't have any relatives at all. So, I just accept my fate in this regard. After that, what did I get from those people around me? Scorn, ridicule, insult, disdain, and many more! I just took responsibility for the past agreement of our clan, what's wrong with that? You also had an agreement with my father before he died, why didn't you try to stop those people by saying something nice? Don't tell me your authority isn't enough! Don't joke with me!"
Ryūhei vented everything in his heart. His eyes sharpened, veins popped up on his face, and his voice was so hoarse when venting his anger. No doubt, this was the first time he felt so angry after so many years.
After a while, he controlled his breathing to calm down.
"My bad, it's kinda irking me remembering those unpleasant things."
"No, I understand your concern." Ayato shook his head. Both Ryūhei and he had a rather similar past. The similarity that he implied was numerous assassination attempts in the past and the burden to carry out the name of their clan. While Ayato still had his clan and succeeded as the family head at a young age, Ryūhei had nothing else except his engagement with the young lady of the Kamisato clan.
Ayato understood pretty well that Ryūhei only carried out his father's will, making him agree to the engagement and using Ayaka to revive his clan. Even so, Ryūhei never took advantage of using the Kamisato clan name. Rather, aside from being mysterious, Ayato saw that Ryūhei was pretty diligent and cared for Ayaka's well-being.
Ayato let out a sigh. "Being the only person from the clan, I can imagine how hard it must be. Say, aren't we the same kind?"
"??" Ryūhei glanced at Ayato.
"Our parents left us when we were young. We had our own burden to carry out our parents' will. In the past, all those politicians mocked or insulted me for being the youngest politician. However, I proved them wrong by using my knowledge and slapped them back. Seeing you had the same impression as the old me, I also wanted you to prove them wrong and let them swallow the insults they threw off in the past. I'm no stickler for doing things in a certain way. Whatever method you use, the important thing is that it delivers acceptable results. After all, I'd like to watch those grown people swallow insults or scorn, making them red in the face after you step on them. It is quite amusing if you can do that to be honest. Well, I simply enjoy watching people's facial contortions when they're put in an awkward position. So, don't mind me!"
Ryūhei narrowed his eyes after hearing Ayato's statement.
"You damn sadistic!"
Now, he understood why Ayato challenged him to become a person with high status, at least close to or on par with the Kamisato clan. Ayato wanted him to overcome his burden and reverse the situation, making him somewhat similar to the current Ayato.
Ryūhei laid his back on the tree nearby. Without looking at Ayato, he asked.
"Tell me, big bro! Do you think it's meaningful to revive my clan?"
Ayato closed his eyes while contemplating for a moment. Then, he turned to Ryūhei to give him his opinion.
"Judging by the current situation, I think you don't have to. You know, you're pretty successful in your business already. You can just live your life as you please. Although I don't know the situation of your companies in Liyue, I think you are doing quite well considering it only took you 2 months for your business to be known to other nations. Well, except this nation of course."
"I see."
"Tell me honestly, do you want to revive your clan?"
Ryūhei's gaze locked on Ayato as replied.
"No. I've been thinking about that for a long time. And I thought it was pointless to revive my clan. However, I'm not so sure of myself. That's why I need your opinion. Thanks for listening to my rambling by the way."
"Haha. What are you talking about? Ever since you lived in our Kamisato residence, I have considered you as my brother." Ayato said. Then he added in his mind.
'Though I needed to put on my guard most of the time at that time.'
However, Ryūhei somehow knew that Ayato thought negatively. So he replied.
"Don't be a hypocrite, big bro. Although you are rarely seen, I understand what kind of person you are."
Ayato raised his brows before bursting out into laughter.
"Fine, fine. I had bad thoughts about you in the past. But, it's different now. In fact, it feels rather like basking in the sun since having you around."
"??? Basking in the sun? Like, playing on the beach? But we never went to the beach together. How about we go now, I also want to see Ayaka in a swimsuit."
Ayato twitched his cheek. He scratched his head before replying.
"What I said just now was an idiom, you idiot."
"Then, don't try to be a smartass by talking with idioms, you stupid brother!"
"Then why did you mention Ayaka in a swimsuit?"
"That's a man's instinct, it's normal for me to see pretty girls in a swimsuit on the beach regardless of who they are."
"So, you're saying it's fine as long the girls are pretty?"
"As long as I consider them pretty girls, nothing can change my mind! Don't you have the slightest interest in that thing? If not, that means you're not normal!"
With that, both of them started to argue, before eventually turning into a fight after a few moments.
"You're itching to get beaten, huh?"
"That's my line, big bro! Don't think I stopped my training while my business is flourishing!" Ryūhei crossed his arms while facing Ayato.
"Hoh! Then, let me test how far you go."
"You must use your Vision unless you want to be beaten by me!"
"It seems you want to be beaten so much. Fine then, I'll do it."
