Chapter 931 – Japan’s Number One Cowboy
”Yuzurina ……”
Lin Qiye muttered the name.
”Hey! What are you doing flipping down all of a sudden?” Memorial asked in confusion as he walked over to the window.
Lin Qiye stood in front of the club’s front door and was silent for a long time before looking up and saying, “I’m going out ……”
He then turned around and ran in a certain direction.
Seeing Lin Qiye inexplicably leave, a series of question marks floated out of Memorial’s head as she shrugged and sat back down on the leather couch.
Suddenly, her gaze landed on the giant black screen directly across from the box, hanging at the very top of the club’s lobby, and on the surface of the screen, white fonts outlined name after name, and at the back of each name, a different number of shimmering crystals were inlaid, emanating a dreamy glow under the blue-violet light.
”Kento Kondo, zero …… Namekura Yota, one ……” Memorial read the names engraved on the giant screen, one by one, from the bottom to the top, “And those are what?”
”It’s the ranking of the cowboy industry in all of Japan.” The blue-clad cowgirl explained, “When this club was first built, the head of the family gathered all the famous cowgirl stores in all of Japan and held this ranking tournament, where a single crystal meant that a customer had rewarded them with 100,000 yen, and ultimately the popularity of the cowgirls was determined by the number of crystals they had.
It’s just a shame that the world was thrown into chaos just after this event was held, and all the other cowboy’s closed down and shut down, leaving only us guys still hanging on the list.”
Memorial’s gaze swept across the giant screen, the vast majority of the people’s names were empty, not a single crystal, and only a handful of people had a scattering of a few hanging behind their names.
Memorial smacked his lips, “This business of yours, it’s really a bit dismal, huh?”
”At this juncture, who would still come to spend money in a cowboy store? It’s already good enough to have one or two.” The blue-clothed cowherd laughed to himself.
Remembrance’s gaze gradually moved upwards, finally settling at the top of the list, and let out a light eep.
”This first place name, why is it golden? And why is there no crystal behind him, only a piece of obsidian?”
The blue-clothed cowherd’s gaze gazed at that golden-colored name for a long time, and smiled helplessly, “That person, is not the same as us ……
In a sense, this so-called qualifying tournament was meant to exist because of him alone, even this largest cowboy club in all of Japan was under his name, he was the real boss here.
There is no crystal behind his name because …… this giant screen simply can’t fit.
The first day the list was first put up, the head of the family, in his private name, rewarded him with a billion yen, equivalent to 10,000 crystals, for being at the top of the list in Japan.
From the moment this event started, the end was already predetermined …… Whether or not anyone participated, how many rewards other people had, and whether or not the end came, it didn’t matter.
Even if he is the only one who participates, the head of the family will still use the most scenic and shocking way to make that person ascend to the throne of Japan’s number one cowboy ……
Japan’s number one cowboy, Asahina Seven Nights.”
”Your family head, what a bully, huh?” Memorial couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “But that name …… Asahina, Seven Nights …… Seven Nights ……”
Memorial recited this name over and over again, associating it with Lin Qiye’s demeanor just now, a certain bold idea suddenly surged into her mind.
She turned around and looked in the direction Lin Qiye had left, her mouth wide open in shock:
”It can’t be ……”
The Wind Priest House.
In the spacious house, Yuzurina was sitting alone on her knees in front of the table, two pairs of chopsticks were neatly placed on the table, and in front of her, two portions of pork chop rice that had already cooled down hadn’t moved in the slightest.
Her hands, which were placed on her knees, were clenched tightly.
She glanced at the time hanging on the wall and called out to the outside of the house, “Takuya, is Takeru White back yet?”
Kazamatsuri Takuya walked into the house, looked at the two portions of pork chop rice on the table with a complicated expression, and shook his head, “No……”
Yuzurina sighed helplessly, picked up the two portions of cooled pork chop rice, and turned toward the kitchen.
”House Master, why don’t you eat something yourself first? Takeru Shirou just called home and said that he won’t be able to return anytime soon.” Kazamatsuri Takuya couldn’t help but say, “You’re already tired from going with us to suppress the riots during the day today, your body will collapse if you don’t eat something.”
Yuzurina stood in place, her lips pursed slightly, not saying a word.
Just then, the sound of the room door opening, came from the distance.
Yuzurina’s eyes instantly lit up, she put down the pork chop rice in her hands and quickly ran towards the door, “Takibai!”
She had just run out of the house when her figure froze in place.
Only to see Amamiya Haruhide was carrying a box, helplessly looking at her, followed by a teenager with a sword hanging from his waist.
”Brother Amamiya ……,” Yuzurina smiled bitterly.
”Takeru Shirou hasn’t come back yet?” Amamiya Haruhide asked as he looked around.
”No.”
Amamiya Haruhide frowned slightly and sighed helplessly.
”Amamiya brother, have you eaten?” Yuzurina adjusted her emotions and asked with a smile.
”I’ve eaten ……,” just as Amamiya Haruhide’s words were in mid-sentence, his afterglow swept over the two portions of cold pork chop rice on the table, and after a moment of silence, he changed his words to say, “I’ve eaten a little, but I’m not full yet, can you get us some more food ?”
”Of course, wait for me, I’ll go make a few more dishes.”
Yuzurina turned around and walked into the kitchen.
In no time, she carried a few plates of steaming dishes and came out.
Amamiya Haruhide ate two bites, looked at Yuzurina who was sitting silently across from them without moving her chopsticks, and said helplessly, “What’s it like for you to just look at us eating like this, why don’t you eat some together as well?…… When Takeru White comes back, I’ll just make another one.”
Seeing that Amamiya Haruhide had opened his mouth, Yuzurina hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the bowl and started to eat in big gulps, like he was starving.
Seeing this, Amamiya Haruhide smiled faintly, “I haven’t introduced you yet, this is the [Muji] Blade Master, Hoshimi Shota.”
”Hello, I’m Shota.” Hoshimi Shota bowed politely.
Yuzurina also bowed in return.
This was the first time that Amamiya Haruhide, brought back other sword masters for Yuzurina to recognize.
”Brother Amamiya, did something happen?” Yuzurina asked after thinking for a moment.
”It’s kind of a good thing.” Amamiya Haruhide slowly put down the rice bowl in his hand and said seriously, “We …… might have found the whereabouts of the last Banezu Sword.”
Hearing those words, Yuzurina’s eyes lit up, “In other words, this country is saved?”
”From the prophecy, yes.” Hoshimi Shota wiped his mouth and replied, “The biggest problem now is that, according to another prophecy, the location where the last Banezu Sword is located is very dangerous, and it will be difficult to get it with just Amamiya and I. ……”
”We need the help of more Banezu Blade masters.”
