Chapter 413 The Legend of "Ghost Princess"
"Is it you?" Looking at Asuka, who was wearing a yukata, Jonouchi's eyes flickered, "Aren't you going to sleep yet? You are all students, it's not good to stay up late."
"If you don't mind, can I sit here?"
After a chuckle, Asuka walked over slowly, and without waiting for Jonouchi's answer, she consciously walked to Jonouchi's side and sat down.
The moonlight shone on Asuka's face, making her skin look like white jade. The nights of this season are not very cold - I mean, if you are familiar with this temperature.
If ordinary people sit with such a "jade girl", their eyes will probably be attracted by Asuka, but Jonouchi at this time is looking at the moon without looking away - if it weren't for the cigarette in his mouth, his temperament now is like an old monk in meditation.
"When?" But in the end, it was Jonouchi who broke the silence first. After shaking off the ash, he asked Asuka, "How did you guess? About that person."
Asuka smiled - Sure enough, Jonouchi's calm face hid countless thoughts deep in his heart.
He really didn't care as much as he looked.
"It's mainly because of what happened to you on the road before." Asuka put away her smile, and then calmly said why she saw through Jonouchi: "When you almost ran into those homeless people who were penniless and drinking because of gambling, even though they treated you badly, the look in your eyes... was also a kind of sympathy."
"How did you know that they were penniless because of gambling?" Jonouchi was curious why Asuka could tell that those people were gamblers - he knew that those people were gamblers because he saw his father gambling with them several times.
Asuka smiled and said softly, "I know a little bit about lip reading. I can tell from their mouth shapes that they are cursing the dealer. At the same time, one of them spilled five or six dice from his pocket after being frightened by your car. All the dice fell to the ground with six points, which were undoubtedly filled with lead. In addition, there are many details that show that they are penniless because of gambling. People who suffer from gambling are full of alcohol... naturally, they drink to drown their sorrows after losing the bet."
"Great... meticulous observation. But you guessed wrong about one thing. People who lost the bet have no money to drink. They are not drinking to drown their sorrows after losing the bet, but they have been drunk when they are in the mood for gambling. I'm drunk." Jonouchi smiled bitterly and shook his head, then sighed: "If Fubuki's mind is half as delicate as yours... This doesn't seem to be inherited, did you practice it yourself?"
"Well, when I was doing morning exercises at school, there was a companion who did morning exercises with me." Asuka looked at the moon and recalled: "She is much better than me. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She is just like an eagle in observation. She taught me all my observation skills step by step."
"You have a very good friend-not only is she so good, but what's more valuable is that she is willing to share such useful knowledge with you." Based on Asuka's statement, Jonouchi thought about it. If she is not a genius, it would take at least 20 to 30 years of hard work to develop such a keen insight.
[It should be a teacher at the Duel Academy? If it is a classmate, then he must be another genius swordsman who is comparable to Nobuna... No, maybe even better than Nobuna. There is no shortcut to insight training.] Jonouchi's mind flashed, but this did not help the current problem, so Jonouchi just flashed it.
After the conversation started, Jonouchi Katsuya put out the cigarette in his hand, then looked up and recalled: "The man who ran away from the ramen shop... is indeed my relative. To be precise, that is my father."
"Your father..." Asuka covered her mouth - although she had prepared herself mentally before, she still felt a sense of unreality when this guess was truly verified from Jonouchi's mouth.
General relatives and father... these are two completely different levels. If Asuka is a reporter who came to stir up trouble, then now this news has risen from general heavyweight news to the level of headlines - and it is the kind of big news that can be taken out and dug up, making a tabloid flourish!
But Asuka is not a reporter who likes to stir up trouble, so instead of being curious, she is a little uneasy at this moment: "Um... should I leave?"
Yes, Asuka doesn't want to continue to be curious. She is different from those heroines in the movie who like to ask questions and are looking for death. She is very self-aware and knows her current position in the duel world. Questions like the secret of Jonouchi are obviously not something that a rookie like her who has not yet entered the professional duel circle and does not know the depth of the water can ask.
In fact, Asuka's original personality may be more curious, but after studying in the duel academy for a year - especially after becoming a lesbian with a pink-haired tsundere - Asuka's personality has also changed a lot. To use her parents' evaluation after she returned home this time, she has become much more mature.
"No need, you are also Fubuki's sister, you can't be considered an outsider." Jonouchi just waved his hand, and didn't intend to continue hiding this from Asuka: "Besides, Fubuki said that you are very tight-lipped and won't reveal anything casually... In this case, I am also happy that someone can listen to my difficulties."
"Then I... listen attentively."
Since Jonouchi doesn't care, Asuka won't force herself any more. She sat obediently under the moonlight and listened to Jonouchi's story of the past.
"Have you heard the legend of 'Ghost Princess'?"
However, when Jonouchi began to recall, the first thing he heard was not anything related to Jonouchi's father, but another rumor that Asuka had never heard of.
Asuka shook her head in confusion.
"The sword of the 'Ghost Princess' enforces the law for the underworld. No matter how big or small the evil is, all souls will die under the sword..." Jonouchi smiled bitterly and looked at the moon, saying: "The day when she and I met the 'Ghost Princess', the moon was just like tonight, beautiful and perfect..."
After a pause, Jonouchi murmured: "Cold and ruthless."

["Li Zheng, what are you thinking about?"]
At Shimada's house, Ojiaou, who had just finished training, sent the new maid Sayaka to rest, and then took a hot spring bath in the bathroom of Shimada's house alone.
And just as she was humming the new song of her idol Fujiwara Yukino while soaking in the hot spring, Li Zheng's sudden singing interrupted Ojiaou's interest.
Ojiaou, who didn't know why Li Zheng suddenly sang such a shaman-like song, looked at Li Zheng, who was floating in the air in the bathroom, with some dissatisfaction. For some reason, when there was no one in the bathroom, the girl was not so disgusted by the behavior of a certain ghost who trespassed into the female bathroom.
Using Ojiaou's own words to hypnotize herself, it was: This guy in front of me is not a human, it's no big deal.
At this time, Li Zheng looked at Ojiaou who suddenly interrupted him, smiled slightly, pointed to the book in his hand, and asked with a hint of meaning: ["Tsundere Ou, how old are you this year?"]
