Chapter 28
Rejected Again

“Don’t look at me, I didn’t tell him anything like that. He figured it out on his own.”

Sakuragawa Rikka shrugged innocently, setting down her teacup.

“Ah, I’ve had too many drinks. I’m going to the restroom. Excuse me.”

Sakuragawa Rikka stretched and walked towards the restroom. A pair of eyes were fixed on her from behind.

“Kujirou, are you interested in seeing your sister use the restroom? It’s not impossible, you know. Want to come along?”

Sakuragawa Rikka turned around and looked at Sakuragawa Kujirou with a smile, beckoning him with a finger.

Yotsuya Miko gaped, amazed by Sakuragawa Rikka’s boldness.

But what happened next surprised her even more.

Sakuragawa Kujirou actually followed her!

“Ah, Kujirou, you’re just like you were when you were little, refusing to leave your sister’s side even for a moment.”

Sakuragawa Rikka laughed, unfazed by Sakuragawa Kujirou’s distrustful actions, and continued towards the restroom without hesitation.

【Kocho Shinobu: Did I just hear something unbelievable? Do adults always talk so frankly?】

【Asuna: Maybe… probably… possibly… it depends on the person? My dad never talked to my mom so directly when we were at home.】

【Akame: Isn’t this normal?】

【Yotsuya Miko: !!! Is this normal in Akame’s world?】

【Akame: Sakuragawa Rikka is Sakuragawa Kujirou’s target in this world, right? So, wouldn’t it be normal to keep a close eye on her, preventing her from escaping? We used to watch over our captives like that too. Isn’t that normal?】

【Kocho Shinobu: …】

“Well… how did you know? Mr. Lin Xuan, I know it’s your secret, but can you share it with the cutest person in the world?”

Iwanaga Kotoko had somehow appeared beside Lin Xuan.

She wrapped her arms around Lin Xuan’s and gently shook them, the softness of her chest enveloping his arm.

“There’s no secret, it’s not a secret. There’s no harm in saying it. I’m just a plain, ordinary Demon King.”

Lin Xuan didn’t mind revealing it.

There was nothing in this world that could threaten him, and his identity wasn’t a secret. It wouldn’t hurt to let Iwanaga Kotoko know.

Even if there were enemies in this world capable of defeating him, so what?

He, Lin Xuan, wouldn’t back down from anyone! In fact, he would grow stronger faster in battle. If anything, he wished there were opponents worthy of him in this world.

【Asuna: Is it really okay to reveal your identity like that? This girl is the first you’ve ever met, right? Confused.jpg.】

【Yotsuya Miko: Lin Xuan-kun probably has his own reasons, right? Maybe he’s revealing his identity slightly to prepare for what he’s going to do next.】

【Kocho Shinobu: What could he have to do next, besides taking that girl back to their world?】

【Yotsuya Miko: You make it sound so logical, I can’t even argue.】

【Lin Xuan: My identity is nothing to hide, right? Why can’t I tell others?】

【Asuna: You’re right, I almost forgot. Lin Xuan is the only 4th-tier powerhouse in our group. Miko’s world simply has no one who can stand against Lin Xuan’s attacks.】

【Yotsuya Miko: That Iwanaga Kotoko probably won’t believe Lin Xuan-kun’s words either. If it wasn’t for the chat group’s information being correct and Lin Xuan-kun showing off his power in Akame’s world, even we wouldn’t believe his identity, would we?】

“Wow! Really? So cool!”

Iwanaga Kotoko’s eyes seemed to sparkle with stars. Her adoring expression instantly rendered everyone in the chat group speechless.

Yotsuya Miko pondered for a long time, unable to understand why Iwanaga Kotoko would believe Lin Xuan so easily.

Wouldn’t she question it a little?

If you believe everything people tell you, you’re easily tricked, you know!

“I have no reason to lie to you. Well, it’s not like I’m the Demon King of your world, though.”

“Is there another world?”

Iwanaga Kotoko’s expression grew even more excited.

Everyone in the chat group was completely speechless. They had no idea if Iwanaga Kotoko’s expression was genuine or feigned.

You don’t just believe everything someone says, do you?

“Yes, besides your world and mine, there are many other worlds. So, would you like to come with me to my world?”

Lin Xuan extended his hand towards Iwanaga Kotoko.

Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Lin Xuan’s outstretched hand. She was actually quite tempted. She loved challenges and excitement. That’s why she agreed to be the Wisdom God of the yokai.

She had even paid the price with an eye and a leg.

But she was still the Wisdom God of those yokai. Years of being the Wisdom God had taught her that the yokai needed her, desperately.

Without her, those yokai might lose their restraints, with weaker ones being bullied by stronger ones, and the stronger ones continuing to wreak havoc.

That wasn’t what she wanted to see.

“Really? That’s a shame. You’re the second woman I’ve invited to my world, but both of them rejected me.”

Lin Xuan shook his head regretfully.

He genuinely liked Iwanaga Kotoko’s type. Playful, fun-loving, and able to handle anything. It would be really entertaining to play with her.

And he actually liked her physique too. Who wouldn’t be attracted to a legal loli?

Yotsuya Miko’s eyes turned red with jealousy upon hearing this.

Lin Xuan had invited Akame to his world in Akame’s world, but he was inviting someone she didn’t know to his world! How could anyone stand this!

Yotsuya Miko’s mouth immediately turned down.

“Heehee, it seems your little sister over there is very disappointed. Maybe you could go invite her instead. Maybe she’ll follow you.”

Iwanaga Kotoko, noticing Yotsuya Miko’s mood, looked at Lin Xuan with a smile.

Upon hearing these words, Yotsuya Miko immediately lowered her head. She didn’t want Lin Xuan to see her current expression.

The moment she heard Lin Xuan inviting her to his world, Yotsuya Miko’s heart felt a little flutter. Even her earlier annoyance towards Iwanaga Kotoko disappeared.

This person is still useful, so I won’t scold her anymore.

Yotsuya Miko was already thinking about how to agree when Lin Xuan invited her.

If I act too eager, wouldn’t that mean I’ve already decided to go to Lin Xuan’s world? But if I don’t agree quickly, what if Lin Xuan-kun changes his mind?
