Eri's hug was long, and it wasn't until Zero began to struggle that she woke up from a dream and finally let go of her hand.

[Mom Zero, I'm sorry]

Looking at the little face of ice and snow being slightly reddened, Eri sat down obediently and lowered her head very embarrassed.

"It's Sister Zero!"

The three-nil girl glared at her, and finally corrected her title.

[Sister Zero! 】

Only then did Eri react and change her name back.

Her eyes were shining, and she was not too frustrated by zero dissatisfaction, as if someone had lit a lamp and the whole world began to shine.

Seeing Eri's appearance, Zero didn't continue to say anything.

Who could bear to extinguish the fire that had been lit in the eyes of such a lovely girl?

Su Mo endured.

So, he spoke.

"Zero doubts are solved, Eri's worries are relieved, and it's time for Eri to go back."

Hearing such a terrible words, the brilliance in Eri's eyes dimmed.

You've just got someone who likes you, and you're leaving?

Immediately after, Su Mo continued.

"Eri should also think about how to deal with your angry brother."

Hearing this, Eri Yi's expression froze, and her small mouth opened slightly.

[Didn't Ultraman say that his brother agreed, why is he still angry? 】

She held up the note in confusion, the brilliance in her eyes temporarily obscured by the anxiety of reality.

Seeing this scene, Zero looked at Su Mo with a little speechless eyes.

This guy is bullying Eri Yi again, and with what she knows about Su Mo, it's hard to say that it's not intentional.

"Your brother agreed, so he didn't arrest you immediately when you ran out, but when you get home, you should still be angry."

Su Mo ignored Zero's eyes and explained to Eriyi.

This is where the complexity of compromise comes in.

"Just because you agree doesn't mean you won't be angry."

Of course, being angry doesn't mean he doesn't want Eri to go out. ap

Yuan Zhisheng's current position is so contradictory and complex, and it will be very different from the perspective of outsiders.

Eri Yi naturally couldn't understand the motives of Yuan Zhisheng's behavior, and in her opinion, Yuan Zhisheng was completely reversed.

So she wrote angrily.

[Brother doesn't talk about credit]

"That's it! He's so bad! Don't believe him! ”

Su Mo followed along, and saw that Zero next to him was speechless for a while.

This is sowing discord, right? It's all about sowing discord, right?

Obviously, it was completely Su Mo's unilateral statement, but Eri Yi was convinced of it, which was probably the legendary elbow turning outward.

Zero began to wonder if it was a good thing for her that Eri Yi was the first to accept Su Mo in this world.

I always feel that if I don't stare at it, Eri will be taken crooked by this guy, and I will help him count the money if he is sold.

"So, I'm going to teach you another trick to help you deal with your brother."

Su Mo added.

[Thank you Ultraman]

Eri immediately thanked her happily, her eyes shining.

Zero can't help but support it.

Her fears came true.

I have to say thank you when I was sold, this kid really can't let it go.

"Don't teach Eri badly."

Zero's mother could only remind from the side and instruct.

Eri Yi was involved in their plan, and the leader of the plan was Su Mo, so she could only remind her to this extent.

"Don't worry, when have I ever taught something bad?"

However, Su Mo gave a reply that made her feel uneasy.

- Don't you have a point in your heart?

She wanted to convey the news through her eyes.

At this time, Eri suddenly remembered the performance of Gen Zhisheng yesterday, and immediately wrote on a note.

[It can't be too powerful a trick, otherwise my brother won't be able to bear it]

She still recognizes Yuan Zhisheng's brother after all, and knows how to reduce the damage.

Su Mo is naturally as good as a stream.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt your brother this time."

Yuan Zhisheng's frame still has to be propped up, and he can't be broken, and he must pay attention to sustainable use.

[Hmm]

Eri nodded obediently.

Su Mo immediately lowered his voice and taught Ji Yi again.

Eri Yi looked at Su Mo with bright eyes, nodding from time to time, and Zero on the side obeyed helplessly, but in the end he didn't have any comments on Su Mo's proposal.

So, an hour later.

On the ξ floor of the Genji Building, in the living room of Eri's room.

[Brother, I was wrong]

As soon as he entered the door, Gen Zhisheng saw sitting in the living room in a formal apology posture, and posing a note admitting his mistake with both hands.

The fact that Eri didn't enter the door to welcome her, and didn't say the same welcome lines as yesterday made Gen Zhisheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I was stabbed before I entered the door today.

"You-"

What are you doing wrong?

After seeing the note, he wanted to ask casually, which was probably the usual question as a teacher and brother.

But as soon as the first word came out, he remembered Eri's answer yesterday.

In case Eri comes to another sentence that he is wrong because he shouldn't be happy and he deserves to die, then he is really speechless, and it will make him feel that he is the one who should die.

Gen Zhisheng, who had a slight PTSD, immediately stopped the questioning and forcibly changed the subject.

"What are you doing here?"

He asked.

Yuan Zhisheng didn't have nothing to say, but rather, this question was also something he wanted to ask.

Eri sat down in front of him in the living room, which in itself was just admitting her mistake, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The problem was that, for some reason, she pulled out the crimson ceremonial knife and placed it in front of her, placing an ornate shaped sword in her left hand.

As a Japanese citizen, Gen Zhisheng immediately sensed a certain sense of déjà vu.

But he wasn't sure, so he chose to ask.

In the face of Gen Zhisheng's inquiry, Eri Yi had already prepared to open the note.

[I made a mistake, and those who made a big mistake should apologize]

She held the dinner knife in her hand, pressed it against her abdomen, and then handed the long knife used for the ceremony to Gen Zhisheng, her little face full of seriousness.

[Please ask my brother to make a mistake for me]

Yuan Zhisheng was completely dumbfounded.

This is who taught her this nonsense!

According to bushido culture, there is indeed a tradition of seppuku apology, in which the person who apologizes uses a short sword to cut his abdomen, and then the wrong person helps to cut off his head, which is the highest etiquette of the samurai, and no matter what mistake is made, as long as the seppuku is forgiven.

But now it's all modern, not to mention that these feudal dross are long gone, and even if there is, Eri is not a samurai!

Moreover, if the Qiao family had to apologize for their sins in two days, then he himself would have been exhausted long ago.

"Don't mess around, I'm not here to ask for sin, I don't mean to blame you."

Yuan Zhisheng rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

This time, he said that he was here to be held accountable, but in fact, it was just a formality.

But Eri's actions made him completely speechless, and he couldn't even go through the motions.

You can't really let Eri cut the stomach, right?

Whether he used her as his sister or as a weapon to the Snake Qi Hachiya, he couldn't allow Eri to hurt himself like this.

So I had to give up.

[Really? 】

Eri immediately asked in surprise.

"Really."

Yuan Zhisheng nodded helplessly.

All right!

Ultraman is really amazing!

Eri Yi was pleasantly surprised, she wanted a way not to hurt her brother, and Su Mo really did it all at once.

Seeing that her brother would not be angry, she immediately put down the sword in her hand, put the long knife still on the ground, and directly picked up the game on the side, leaving Yuan Zhisheng aside.

I played outside with Ultraman and Zero's mother for a day, and she hasn't played a game today!

For her behavior, Yuan Zhisheng is not surprised.

His gaze quickly shifted to the sword that Eri had put down.

Samurai battlefield seppuku is generally used for rib difference, but that's just because of convenience, if you really want to pay attention to etiquette, you should actually use a sword, and Eri Yi is a good choice in this regard, but the material seems to be a little problematic when you look at it closely, and the voice sounds a little wrong.

Yuan Zhisheng immediately picked up this sword, and when he touched it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Plastic?"

No wonder the painted pear clothes are directly against his body, and there is no trace left, it turned out to be a children's toy.

Seeing Gen Zhisheng holding the sword, Eri thought he was interested in this.

[This was given to me by Ultraman, not for my brother]

She immediately showed a vigilant look, for fear that Yuan Zhisheng would rob her of something.

“……”

Only then did Gen Zhisheng understand who was the person who gave Eri this insidious idea.

He knew Su Mo's game ID, and yesterday's information also mentioned Eri's name for the two.

He also knew how Su Mo tricked Eri Yi out, but he didn't care about it yesterday when he saw that Su Mo and Zero were very upright.

But today, it seems that this guy has a lot of bad moves, such a bad person, how could his sister call him Ultraman who symbolizes justice and light?

Moreover, this kind of bargain is bought casually from a 100-yen store, but as for such a precious collection?

He suddenly wondered if it was a good thing to let Eri contact with that guy.

However, seeing that Eri was in a good mood, he still didn't say anything after all.

It's okay if it's not a bad guy, and the rest is up to you.

In the Japanese-style room on the top floor of the Genji Building.

After visiting Eri Yi, Gen Zhisheng was called here by an email.

There is only one person in the entire Eight Snake Qi families who can be called to him-the eldest patriarch Tachibana Masamune, and other family heads with foreign surnames can only take the initiative to come to see him if they want to see him.

In fact, even the current patriarch is not qualified to summon him, although Tachibana Masamune is the head of the Tachibana family among the three inner ones, he has not awakened the imperial blood, and is just an ordinary half-blood.

Even if Tachibana Masamune is the head of the Eight Snake Families and the current master of the Eight Snake Families, Gen Zhisheng, the natural Shadow Emperor and the future master of the Eight Snake Families, does not have to bow to him.

Of course, that's just a theoretical statement.

In fact, in private he bowed his head more than once, after all-

"Daddy, you're looking for me?"

After walking into the room, seeing that there was no one else, Yuan Zhisheng directly changed to his private name.

As the young master of the Eight Snake Clans, he is always called "Mr. Masamune" in front of others, which is to maintain the prestige of the Shadow Emperor.

But in private, there is no need to be so restrained, Tachibana Masamune is the one who brought him into the Snake Qi Eight Family since he was a child, and his status in Gen Zhisheng's heart is basically the same as that of his father, so naturally he bowed his head to him.

The call of the eldest patriarch Tachibana Masamune, the shadow emperor Yuan Zhisheng didn't have to pay attention to it, but the child had to obey the call of the father.

What's more, he also knew what Tachibana Masamune was looking for him for.

And sure enough, after he sat down, Tachibana Masamune pushed over a cup of freshly brewed tea.

"You just went to Eri's side?"

"Yes!"

Yuan Zhisheng nodded.

His movements are not difficult to guess, and it is impossible for Eri to completely hide the matter of Eri's departure today.

Looking at his expression, Tachibana Masamune had already guessed most of it.

He shook his head and sighed.

"You don't have to blame Eri too much, it's normal to stay in the cage all the time and want to fly out."

“…… Be! ”

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated, but nodded.

He was embarrassed to say that he didn't blame Eri, but was pinched by Eri.

The operation of seppuku apology, even if it is a joke, is indeed enough to control all family members, including Tachibana Masamune.

After all, Eri Yi is a family property in their eyes, and it is an extremely precious family property, they will never allow this weapon stronger than the emperor to commit suicide, if Eri is serious, I am afraid that he can really win a lot of self-***.

In fact, with Eri's strength, as long as she has a complete mind, I am afraid that she will not be held hostage by the family as she is now.

But thinking about it the other way, I'm afraid that the family also deliberately didn't teach Eri Yi, and deliberately kept her mental level at a low level.

Otherwise, if Eri has an independent will, the family may not be able to control her, even if Genzhi is born.

Seeing Gen Zhisheng nodding, Tachibana Masamune continued.

"It's normal for Eri Yi to want to sneak out, but she secretly ran out for two days in a row, and this is the first time, I heard that she made a friend?"

"Yes."

Yuan Zhisheng nodded.

"According to Kaguyahime's investigation, the backgrounds of the two are very clean, if they really inherit the Tsar's bloodline, that Royal Highness may be a half-blood, but it has nothing to do with the Fierce Ghosts and the Kassel Academy at the moment."

Because of the mission, the lists of both were deliberately hidden by Norma.

Kaguyahime was able to defend Norma in this acre of land in Japan, but she was not as good as Norma in other aspects, so she didn't notice anything abnormal.

"Just because the background is clean doesn't mean there are no problems."

Tachibana Masamune shook his head.

"If I could, I'd like Eri to go out and make friends, but not right now...... Young students, you should know what we are facing now. ”

There was no obvious reproach in his words, but Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head.

He knew what Tachibana Masamune was worried about, and the day before yesterday, Tachibana Masamune had already told him to protect the safety of Eri Ei, and yesterday Eri Masamune didn't ask about it, and chose to trust himself, and it wasn't until today that Eri left for the second time He summoned himself to inquire, as the young master of the Eight Snake Families, he was actually derelict in his duty in the matter of Eri Ei.

"I'm sorry, Dad, but I didn't take a good look at Eri."

Yuan Zhisheng apologized.

"You don't have to apologize, it's hard to see Eri Yiben."

Tachibana Masamune shook his head, then sighed.

"But there are some things that must be done even if it is difficult, I know that Erika regards you as an older brother, and it is difficult for you to refuse her request, but the academy headquarters is eyeing you from the sidelines, and now is not the time to be willful."

Hearing this, Gen Zhisheng raised his head and looked at Tachibana Masamune earnestly.

"It's rare for Eri to make friends, so can you let her go out for another day?"

He knew that now was not the time to let Eri out, and the fate of the family was pinned on these few days, and victory or defeat would mean a huge turning point.

But for Eri, the friends she made this time were also a very important turning point for her, and the impact on her fate may not be lower than that of the family.

So he wants to do both sides as much as possible, at least so that Erika has no regrets in just a few days.

Hearing Genjisheng's request, Tachibana Masamune was a little surprised.

His old eyes stared at Yuan Zhisheng and did not speak for a long time.

It was a few minutes before he shook his head.

"I know what you mean, but I'm also doing this for the sake of Eri, it may be good for Eri to make friends rarely, but have you ever thought about what will happen if something happens to her friends?"

Hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng was shocked.

"The family is going to take action against them? But the identity of the princess ——! ”

He immediately tried to stop the act.

After all, the eight families of Snake Qi are underworlds, and they may not be able to do this with their style.

"No, it's not that we're going to do it to them, with me here, the family won't hurt Eri's friends."

Tachibana Masamune shook his head and looked at him with deep eyes.

"But what if it's a group of fierce ghosts? Do you think that with their madness, they will care about the Romanovs in the Far East? ”

The Snake Eight did not want to have a bad relationship with the Romanov family because they considered that they might cross paths in the future.

But the Fierce Ghosts don't think about it so much, they don't have a future organization, and they never think about future revenge.
