What is Kabukichō?
Baidu Encyclopedia states that:
Kabukichō is one of Tokyo's entertainment centers. Cinemas, video arcades, bars and more, with crowds streaming in from midnight to dawn, it is a standard night city……
It sounds unremarkable; many countries have similar places.
But those who know understand, such places are basically unrelated to decency and often referred to as the red-light district.
Especially in neon, you should know that this is a place where love action films can be openly sold, and the local customs industry is considered a unique local tourist attraction.
Every year, countless teachers with both artistic and martial prowess have studied here, providing an immersive performance for countless artisans working at their computers.
Thinking about this, Wu Xian's mind could not help but conjure up some classic car license plate numbers, and then he looked at the promotional page in his hand, which was still printed with a half-nude damsel...
(ー`ー)
Indeed, this face is quite familiar, and he may have even seen the person's performances before he time traveled.
On the other side, looking at the slightly odd expression on Wu Xian's face, the character of HUITANG seems to be even more interested. She stares longingly at Wu Xian's promotional brochure in his hand, a look of eagerness and impatience.
Like in the original work, Kanae Kirigiri initially appears a bit cold, but in essence, she's just a girl without common sense.
Before, it was probably because she had been in a monotonous place for too long, except for Kanato Tada, there were almost no one who could communicate with her normally. That's why she was so withdrawn.
Now, with Wu Xian's encouragement and guidance, she has quickly taken on the appearance of a normal girl.
Even a few days ago, when they were playing in Cinderella Castle, she would be scared by suddenly appearing monsters disguised as staff.
To be honest, Wu Xian was actually a bit worried that Kirigiri might react too strongly and unleash her spell "Judgment," blasting the monster-staffed employee into a pile of rubble.
Fortunately, such an incident did not occur. The girl merely clung to him desperately, as if by being close to him would make her feel very safe.
This inexplicable sense of trust made Wu Xian feel both satisfied and puzzled, always feeling that as long as he tried a little harder this evening, the successor to the Uesugi family could be born smoothly in ten months.
Lost in thought, he couldn't help but look at the girl's innocent and naive face, instantly suppressing the evil thought and muttering a silent apology.
"Come on, it's getting late, we should go and see the Tokyo Skytree."
Taking a deep breath to clear his mind, Wu Xian naturally took hold of the girl's delicate hand and prepared to hail a taxi to the last stop of today's journey.
After hearing the words "Tokyo Skytree," the eyes of Huiliyi lit up immediately, and she no longer mentioned going to "Kabukicho." She let Wu Xian lead her to the street, looking like a well-behaved cat listening to its owner.
Meanwhile, Yan Zisheng has already taken care of the Monster Crowd and is on his way to Disneyland.
...
One hour later, Tokyo Skytree.
As one of the landmark buildings in the area, it is known as the current world's tallest radio tower, claiming that as long as you stand on the observation deck on the top floor, you can see the most beautiful scenery of Tokyo.
At night, the tower is illuminated with a variety of lights, shining brightly like a pillar reaching from earth to heaven, standing majestic in the night sky of Tokyo, incredibly splendid.
"Ding!"
The elevator door in the second floor Tianwang Corridor slowly opened, accompanied by a light sound.
Wu Xian led Kirigiri out of the elevator, and the latter looked around the surrounding glass-structured tube-shaped corridor, her breathing became somewhat hurried, clearly eager to rush to the glass windows.
In the end, she still resisted and followed Wu Xian, walking step by step while holding his hand, but her eyes were full of curiosity and excitement that couldn't be hidden.
Seeing the girl's obedient appearance, Wu Xian smiled slightly and then pulled her hand to a glass window, indicating her to look down.
Feeling his encouragement in his gaze, Kirigiri finally let go of his hand, took a deep breath, and cautiously approached the glass window.
The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the red eyes looked at the tiny city below without blinking.
Without doubt, it is a landscape that she has never seen before.
It is now after 8 PM, and it's still not time for people in Tokyo to rest. The streets are bustling with cars and crowds, and the lights on the skyscrapers are even more dazzling than during the day.
Looking at these, Kirigiri's pupil seems to be illuminated by the sight of all these lights, as if she had activated the Golden Eyes.
"Do you like it?"
A rather familiar voice echoed from behind.
In the next second, Wu Xian walked next to her, lowering his eyes and looking down at the brightly lit night scenery.
Hearing his question, Kirigiri first nodded, then shook her head, and finally wrote two lines on her small notebook under Wu Xian's puzzled gaze.
[The world is beautiful, Kirigiri really likes it]
[But... this world may not like me]
"..."
Looking at this sentence with an over-the-top level of "high school student syndrome," Wu Xian didn't feel the slightest bit humorous, and even the curve of his mouth faded.
As someone who has read the original work, Wu Xian naturally knows why Kirigiri has this strange idea.
Unlike naturally born half-breeds, Kirigiri and her two brothers are more like test tube babies. From birth, they were filled with plots and calculations, used as tools and vessels by some son of a bitch to fulfill his own ambitions.
Especially for Kirigiri, her bloodline is the purest among the three siblings, making her the perfect host for the White King's power and possessing the ultra-high-risk spell [Judgment] that even dragons have to fear.
However, with the acquisition of powerful strength, Kirigiri's bloodline has become increasingly unstable, and there is a risk of a sudden outburst at any time. Only by maintaining her life with serum extracted from the fetus of a Death Eater can she do so.
She has always known about these things and has long prepared herself to become a monster, then be killed by her brother or a heroic partner who drops from the sky.
It is because of these reasons that Kirigiri would say something like "the world doesn't like her."
For a moment, Wu Xian suddenly stretched out his hand, took away Kirigiri's small notebook and black pen, wrote on it rapidly, and then copied her example by holding the content up to his chest.
[Even though I know that you have always felt like a little monster, the world won't like you, and one day, you will be killed by the justice of Ultraman]
The moment she saw these words, Kirigiri's pupils contracted abruptly, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart that made it hard for her to breathe.
Why... why did he know that she had never said this to anyone else, not even her brother.
In her heart, Kirigiri saw Wu Xian start to write again, but this time there was a smile on his face.
Curious, Kirigiri wanted to tiptoe and take a look, but at this moment, Wu Xian had already flipped the notebook over.
[But I think, the world doesn't like you because you're not familiar with it. As long as you travel the world and keep liking it, He will eventually find that little monsters are also very cute.]
[And besides, the just Ultraman will only kill evil monsters, and as cute as you are, they will protect you rather than hurt you. How could they bear to harm you?]
Staring blankly at the two paragraphs on the note, Kirigiri stood stock-still as if a power source had been removed from a machine, not moving for a long time.
Wu Xian didn't say anything, just quietly staring at Kirigiri, waiting for her next response.
In this way, a minute or two later, Kirigiri took back her pen and notebook and quickly wrote a sentence on it. Then she blocked her face with it, preventing Wu Xian from seeing her expression.
[What if, in the future, I become really, really bad? Will the just Ultraman still protect me?]
Wu Xian smiled, lifting his hand to move the note pad away, revealing a delicate face with a silent cry.
But this time, he did not intend to write anything on it, only lifting his other hand to gently wipe the pearl and speak in a very serious tone:
"I don't care what Ultraman would do, but if it were me, even if you truly turned into a monster, I would do everything in my power to awaken you back."
Just like Naruto treating Sasuke, I will never give up, and one day, I will make you become that cute little monster in the world.”
