"Ah~"
Sakuragi Yuri glanced at Yan Huan, who subconsciously stood closer to Spencer, then surveyed everyone with a teasing smile and said,
"Just now, when I was chatting with this student Ye, I mentioned that you kids are just like the team from Dragon Country's 'Journey to the West'~"
She then pointed at Yan Huan and said,
"If we're talking about Yan, she's like Tang Sanzang, the only girl in the team~"
"..."
At first, Yan Huan was a bit stunned, but she quickly remembered something.
No way, Auntie, this is like a special Ying Country version of Journey to the West, isn't it?!
Then she pointed to Spencer,
"Young Spencer is like Sun Wukong."
"...What's that?"
But Sakuragi Hitomi didn't pause and pointed at her daughter,
"Hitomi is like Pigsy."
"Mom!!"
Finally, Sakuragi Yuri looked at Ye Shiyu with a smile,
"Student Ye, you're like the silent Sha Monk."
"..."
Ye Shiyu didn't want to speak and just gave Sakuragi Yuri, the old woman in her eyes, a look for her to interpret on her own.
While Yan Huan looked at Ye Shiyu sympathetically, if she knew that Sha Monk here in Ying Country looks like a kappa, she wondered if she'd start a fight immediately.
"So..."
As she spoke, Sakuragi Yuri suddenly noticed Bai Yi, who was pointing at himself, and realized there was another Bai Yi,
"Ah, there's also student Bai, you..."
But the problem was, Tang Sanzang and his three disciples were already assigned. What was left?
Sakuragi Yuri smiled, opened her mouth, paused for a while, and then remembered,
"Oh, I remember, the white dragon who turned into a horse..."
"Alright, alright! Mom, what are you really trying to say?!"
As Bai Yi's face got redder, Sakuragi Hitomi quickly interrupted Sakuragi Yuri with clenched fists.
And Sakuragi Yuri opened her folding fan, covered her mouth with a smile,
"What I mean is, although the study group guidance won't start at home for a few days, building relationships these days is also important."
Saying this, she added with a meaningful look,
"Everyone should spend more time together, and absolutely, absolutely, do not go off alone or in pairs~"
This was directed at Sakuragi Hitomi.
It seemed that after seeing Sakuragi Hitomi's blundering acts on the plane, Sakuragi Yuri no longer had much hope for her daughter's moves.
"Got it, got it."
"Then I'll be going~"
With that, Sakuragi Yuri turned, opened the car door, and got in.
She closed the car door and was about to leave but remembered something and rolled down the window.
"By the way..."
Sakuragi Hitomi leaned in, and Sakuragi Yuri whispered into her ear,
"Your brothers know you're back with Yan Huan too~"
"Huh? Then... Mom, can you not let the brothers come back for now?"
"Oh dear, you're prioritizing a lover over family. No matter what, your brothers haven't seen you for a while~"
"It's not that... Mainly, if they meet the President, they'll definitely have conflicts again, just like last birthday... Besides, this time the President is staying at home for several days, not just one night..."
Sakuragi Yuri smiled slightly, sighed, and said,
"Alright, I'll try to work on it. If it doesn't work, you'll have to be careful on your own~"
"Okay, thank you, Mom..."
Looking at Sakuragi Hitomi's hesitant face, Sakuragi Yuri rolled the window back up and drove off, disappearing from Sakuragi Hitomi's sight.
Turning back, at the bus side, all the students' luggage was loaded, and most people were on the bus.
An accompanying teacher stood by the bus, calling out,
"Hey students over there! Get on the bus! Everyone is waiting for you!!"
"Coming, coming!"
...
...
Ying Country, Osaka, somewhere.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak squeak!"
A rat crawled through a filthy corridor but got startled by a sudden flash of flame not far away and quickly hid.
This was an old two-story apartment building beside a parking lot. At the end of the hallway, a red-haired woman holding a lighter lit a cigarette.
"Rumble~"
Not far away, a passing train blew up the smoke and a strand of her red hair, obscuring her delicate features and sharp eyes.
It was Tong Yingying.
Amidst the smoke, the environment around her became clearer.
Behind her, the door of a rented room was wide open, revealing a chaotic space inside.
A tattooed man and woman inside were searching for clues while cursing,
"Damn it, that bastard knew we were after him! He's long gone!"
"I say, we should split up to block him. He hasn't been gone long, we might still catch him if we spread out."
"You must not separate from me."
Hearing this, Tong Yingying with the cigarette sighed, turned with her arms crossed, and said seriously,
"Although I blame Yoshida Minami for not protecting Bai Mother's well-being, letting the murderer succeed... But you know Yoshida Minami's skills. If she couldn't stop that person, neither can you guys."
"..."
Hearing this, the two in the room grew even more frustrated.
But they also understood the troublesome nature of that murderer.
If not a master, it's impossible for anyone to evade capture from both Tong Yingying and Yoshida Minami for so many years.
"Keep looking; there must be a clue here in the room."
"Yes, Sister Tong."
