Shizuka Marikawa's request...
Su Yan agreed to all of them.
As for Yuriko Takagi...
It seemed he would be forced to become a master of time management tonight.
Afterward, he continued discussing the details with Rika Minami regarding her going out with Shizuka Marikawa to train her Nen abilities.
Having received a satisfying answer, Shizuka Marikawa sat on the edge of the bed and pricked up her ears to listen closely.
Su Yan's requirements were naturally not as simple as they imagined; it wasn't just about Rika Minami following Shizuka Marikawa out to kill zombies.
After all, the alertness and mobility of zombies were much duller than when they were alive.
Aside from their dangerous infectivity, as long as one stayed cautious, the actual threat to Rika Minami was far less than that of humans.
Not to mention that Rika Minami used firearms for long-range shooting instead of engaging in close-quarters combat with weapons.
For a special forces elite like Rika Minami, this situation was no different from playing on easy mode.
So, what Su Yan needed to do was ramp up the difficulty for Rika Minami, forcing her to be more focused during her zombie-killing missions.
And in the process, trigger the possibility of using Nen.
For example, requiring her to take out at least two zombies with a single bullet.
Of course, that was up to Rika Minami herself.
If she liked a challenge, she could increase the difficulty further—a triple kill or even a quadruple kill with one shot.
"Let's leave it at that for now."
By the end, Su Yan didn't have any better ideas; after all, it was all just his speculation.
With business concluded, it was time for personal matters.
Rika Minami looked at Su Yan and licked her lips.
Having become a real woman for the first time today, honestly, she had developed a bit of a taste for it.
Moreover, she was indeed feeling a bit restless, stirred up by the ambiguity in Su Yan's words earlier.
It was only because she had just lost her virginity and her body still ached slightly; otherwise, she might not have been able to resist pinning Su Yan down right then and there.
'Maybe I should wait until tonight to recover a bit and then do it with Shizuka Marikawa?' Rika Minami thought.
She didn't have any psychological resistance to the idea.
Rika Minami opened her mouth, about to speak.
"Mi?"
Unexpectedly, a Snowball Beast suddenly jumped in from outside, interrupting what she was about to say.
Su Yan asked in surprise, "Snowball Beast? Did something happen on Rei Miyamoto's end?"
After awakening Rei Miyamoto's Nen, Su Yan naturally wasn't comfortable leaving her alone.
So, he had arranged for two free Snowball Beasts to stay by Rei Miyamoto's side and watch over her.
If any problems arose, the Snowball Beasts would come to find him.
And now that a Snowball Beast had appeared, didn't that mean something had gone wrong with Rei Miyamoto?
"Mi!"
The Snowball Beast responded.
Er...
Su Yan realized he couldn't understand the Snowball Beast's meowing at all.
"Forget it, you two continue. I'll go check on Rei Miyamoto first."
Su Yan first spoke to Shizuka Marikawa and Rika Minami, then quickly headed out the door, preparing to expand his En to observe Rei Miyamoto's situation.
"Yan-kun!"
At the same time, a voice full of joy came from outside the door.
It was the very person Su Yan was worried about—Rei Miyamoto.
Caught off guard, she collided head-on with Su Yan just as he was about to leave.
The kind of ridiculous accidental kiss seen in anime didn't happen.
Instead...
"Ow, ow, ow."
Rei Miyamoto winced, gently rubbing her forehead, which had turned slightly red from the collision with Su Yan.
Su Yan asked her with concern, "Are you alright?"
At the same time, he glared fiercely at the Snowball Beast.
What was going on?
Giving me false info?
Looking at Rei Miyamoto now, did she look like she was in trouble?
The Snowball Beast looked back at Su Yan with an innocent gaze.
"You really are here."
Seeing Su Yan, Rei Miyamoto's eyes and voice were filled with unspeakable joy. "Yan-kun, I've successfully mastered that life energy."
"Really?"
A look of surprise crossed Su Yan's eyes.
He couldn't help but feel amazed; the success rate of awakening Nen was quite high.
Both Yuriko Takagi and Rei Miyamoto had successfully mastered Nen immediately after awakening it.
Was it because of their status as anime heroines or supporting characters?
"Yan-kun, look, look!"
After saying that, Rei Miyamoto couldn't wait to show Su Yan the Ten she had learned to control her life energy.
Su Yan didn't even need to use Gyo to see it.
He could tell just by looking at the girl's current state. After all, when her aura nodes were first opened, life energy had been gushing out of her body like a blower.
Now, she looked completely normal.
Wasn't the result obvious?
"Well done. So, do you want to form a contract with me now?"
Su Yan smiled, materializing a contract parchment in his hand and placing it before the girl as he asked.
"Yes!"
The girl with flaxen hair nodded vigorously.
She snatched the contract parchment from Su Yan's hand without even checking to see if the contents had changed.
Without a second word, she signed her name directly on it.
In Rei Miyamoto's eyes, this contract parchment was far better than any marriage certificate.
This way, she could rightfully launch a night raid on Su Yan tonight.
As Rei Miyamoto made the final stroke on the parchment.
The parchment transformed into a beam of light and flew into Rei Miyamoto's body.
In an instant, it flowed through the girl's entire body and merged with the faint Nen energy she already possessed.
"It feels so good..."
The girl felt as if she were in Su Yan's embrace, her entire body surrounded by his scent.
A happy smile involuntarily spread across her face.
Unfortunately, the feeling quickly faded.
The girl opened her eyes, an expression of lingering enjoyment still on her face.
Then, she saw several expectant faces appear before her.
Even the usually lazy Shizuka Marikawa was curious about the flaxen-haired girl's condition.
Su Yan asked, "How do you feel?"
"I feel great. The energy in my body seems to have increased quite a bit too."
Rei Miyamoto thought carefully and said, "As for anything else? I don't know."
Su Yan wasn't surprised by this.
After all, the portion of Nen he shared had merged with the Nen she had cultivated herself.
How could the Nen in her body not increase?
As for other things, it was normal for Rei Miyamoto not to know, since she had only just become a Nen user.
Su Yan suggested, "Let's do the Water Divination."
He, on the other hand, felt some strange sensations synced over from the girl through the contract.
His own Nen seemed to have gained some special qualities.
Was it an Enhancement-type feeling? Or perhaps a Transmutation-type feeling?
Su Yan wasn't sure himself.
In this situation, there didn't seem to be any other good way besides doing the Water Divination.
Rei Miyamoto asked curiously, "Is it the same one Miss Takagi did earlier?"
Su Yan replied, "Yes. Wait for me a moment while I go get the items needed for the Water Divination."
With that, he turned and left the room, leaving Rei Miyamoto alone with Shizuka Marikawa and Rika Minami.
"Ms. Marikawa, could you please stop looking at me like that?"
It wasn't until Su Yan left that Rei Miyamoto noticed Shizuka Marikawa's strange gaze.
"Hehe."
Shizuka Marikawa explained with a smile, "I'm just curious. After all, I contracted with Little Su Yan directly without going through the awakening process."
"And the same goes for Saeko, who contracted after me."
"So, Miyamoto-san, you're actually the first person to contract with Little Su Yan after going through the awakening."
Hearing Shizuka Marikawa's words, a somewhat silly smile appeared on Rei Miyamoto's face.
"The first?"
"I'm the first?!"
The girl was now immersed in the 'first' that Shizuka Marikawa had mentioned, feeling delighted.
Standing next to Shizuka Marikawa, Rika Minami felt for the first time that her usually harmless-looking best friend was actually quite terrifying.
With just a few words...
She had sent this seemingly smart young girl into a state of blissful confusion.
