Chapter 474: No Parking Here

Inside the luxuriously decorated car.

“Miss, do you still have any plans for today…?”

The driver and personal bodyguard, Akane Higashino, was about to say something as usual.

But the black-haired girl sitting in the back seat interrupted her.

“No need. Just go straight home.”

Kamiki Ayane held a bright silver shell-shaped ceramic cup holder in one hand and a freshly brewed Blue Mountain coffee in the other, her movements graceful.

She gently blew away the white steam rising from the cup, took a light sip, and the rich aroma unique to coffee subtly spread across her taste buds.

‘Just a while ago, the young lady insisted on coming to the academy even if it meant canceling all her plans, and now that she’s here, she wants to go straight home?’

Though puzzled, Akane Higashino didn’t ask further and chose to follow her young lady’s orders directly.

Just as the car was about to start moving, someone knocked on the rear window.

Knock, knock, knock—

“Hello, you can’t park here!”

A man’s slender fingers tapped the window, his face wearing a warm smile.

His gaze was deep, as though it could directly pierce through the one-way tinted window and see the two people inside.

Kamiki Ayane put down her cup, her bright, beautiful eyes meeting the man’s gaze through the window, her expression calm as if she had expected him to come.

“Miss…”

Seeing a stranger boldly approach, Akane Higashino’s eyes instantly sharpened, her hand instinctively moving toward the self-defense weapon at her waist.

All it would take was a single command or glance from Kamiki Ayane, and she would immediately take the action expected of a bodyguard!

“No need to be nervous.”

“Or rather, even if you are nervous, it’s useless. You’re not his match.”

Kamiki Ayane’s tone was calm, as if stating an indisputable fact.

She stroked the long blade resting across her knees, its scabbard carved with incomparably exquisite patterns.

After a moment of silence, she took the initiative and pushed open the car door.

On the other side.

Mu An raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised to see the door open from the inside.

Of course, surprised as he was, he still couldn’t miss the emotional reward he ought to farm.

Clearing his throat, he looked at the noble and elegant girl inside the car and said, “Hello there, what’re you doing here? No parking allowed here, you understand?”

Kamiki Ayane: “….”

Akane Higashino: “….”

Upon hearing this, both Kamiki Ayane and Akane Higashino were rendered speechless.

It was like someone putting a bunch of random toppings on rice noodle rolls in Guangdong Province. Like coffee, for example.

The man’s broken Sakura dialect was truly… uncomfortable and awkward to listen to.

Akane Higashino’s gaze remained sharp, maintaining her usual vigilance.

‘Is this sloppy guy really be stronger than me?’

‘Although I can reluctantly admit his looks are heaven-defying, looks do not equal strength.’

‘What expert wasn’t tempered through years and seas of blades and fire?’

Her rational mind told her that what the young lady said couldn’t be wrong.

But she couldn’t help but harbor some suspicion toward this young man.

After all, she couldn’t even sense the slightest threat from an expert coming from him.

Either he was an ordinary person, or a powerhouse far beyond her own level…?

“Actually, I understand the Long Country language.”

As if to conceal her emotions, or perhaps to ease the atmosphere, Kamiki Ayane lifted her cup.

She took a slow sip of coffee and spoke softly,

“I wonder what brings Young Master Mu here today?”

She revealed his identity right away, without any beating around the bush?

That saved a lot of trouble!

Sure enough, communicating with smart people really is convenient!

Completely unlike some silly girl who’s missing a few walnuts in her head!

Mu An chuckled lightly.

“I came to make friends.”

Saying that, he didn’t bother to be polite and plopped himself right into the car.

He even pushed the young lady, Kamiki Ayane, further inside without any courtesy, almost like he was taking over the host’s role!

This scene made Higashino Akane’s heart leap into her throat.

Who didn’t know that the Kamiki family’s young lady had an extremely severe misandry?

In the past, let alone sharing a private space with a man, even a man accidentally touching something belonging to Miss could result in him being sunk into Tokyo Bay to feed the sharks!

Of course, such ‘silencing’ incidents were more common back in Sakura Country.

But after coming to the Long Country, the young lady had already restrained herself a great deal.

“Miss, you…”

“I’m fine.”

Kamiki Ayane glanced at her bodyguard, and with a single look, cut off every word Higashino Akane’s had yet to say.

Then her gaze shifted to a certain handsome man’s face.

And then it dropped down to the large hand that had somehow appeared on her long legs clad in black stockings…

“Is this how you make friends?”

The girl’s beautiful eyes held a natural chill, calm and still like the dead spring water by the Seine River, stirring no waves at all.

As if she herself wasn’t the one being taken advantage of.

“Ahem, ahem, your stockings are really good quality. Where did you buy them?”

Mu An remained calm and collected, doing what he needed to do without any embarrassment.

‘I’ve already ‘sacrificed’ this much. There’s no way she won’t drop at least some gold, right’

Unexpectedly, Kamiki Ayane was no ordinary person and didn’t play by the usual rules.

Her eyes lifted slightly, and she looked at the man with a hint of surprise.

“You want to wear them?”

Those three words left Mu An stunned for a moment.

“…..”

“I won’t wear them, but I can buy them for my woman to wear.”

“Tsk, I thought you’d say something like, ‘Make sure I keep the original worn stockings of a beautiful girl as a treasure!’”

The girl’s words were shocking, her eyes narrowing slightly with a look of regret.

It was as if not hearing such a perverted request from someone was a great pity to her.

Mu An couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

What was this ‘keep the original worn stockings of a beautiful girl as a treasure’ nonsense?

He definitely didn’t have any weird fetishes!

Of course, the silky smooth feel in his hand was undeniable.

Beautiful girl’s lovely legs + high-quality stockings.

The combination was truly an irresistible delight for any man!

“As everyone knows, I’m a proper gentleman. There’s no way I’m that perverted, okay!”

Mu An explained with a straight face.

“Then could I ask Mr. ‘Proper Gentleman’ to remove his hand from my thigh?”

“If I said I’m just testing the quality of the stockings in advance, would you believe me?”

“Mhm, I wouldn’t.”

“…..”

Mu An was helpless.

He had tried so hard to tease her, but she showed almost no emotional reaction from start to finish.

And without any emotional reaction, there was naturally no emotional reward!

What kind of stingy hen is this?

Preliminary assessment complete… she must be a ‘low-quality’ gold mine!

Sure enough, that silly Wang Xing’er still had a much higher drop rate, just teasing her casually would make rewards fall all over the ground!

What to do? He suddenly found himself missing her a bit!
