Chapter 242 242



Tenku and the others only took two hours to arrive in Kyoto by plane. Along the way, Wang Ruyue and Setsuka tried switching seats with Kirika, but the other party firmly refused. So they started fighting again, and it gave Tenku a headache.

Although the three girls calmed down after Tenku reminded them, Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kirika fought again for the same reason. So he gave up and covered his ears with headphones. Luckily, Kaede didn't meddle in their fight. If she were to tag along, the situation would get even more chaotic.

Tenku and the girls arrived at the airport and saw three special planes near theirs. Usually, it was used by Realizers from the organization's headquarters.

"Has something happened in Kyoto?" Tenku looked at Kirika and asked. He thought something had happened in Kyoto when he saw the three planes.

"I don't know. It's been quite a while since I last came back to Kyoto. Please wait a moment. I will check it on the forum." Kirika quickly took out her smartphone and checked the news on the League of Heroes forum in the Kyoto area.

Setsuka and Kaede also checked on their smartphones as one of the carrier planes belonged to the Holy Union headquarters.

"Huh? This is weird. Nothing happened in Kyoto. Then why did the Realizers from the headquarters of the three organizations come here?" Kirika frowned as she couldn't find any information about what happened in Kyoto after she checked the League of Heroes forum via her smartphone. He felt that there was something odd about the current situation.

"Yeah, we didn't find anything about that either. We didn't see any missions or news about the space collapse in Kyoto." Setsuka added, and Kaede nodded in response.

"This matter is indeed strange. But we don't need to think about that because it has nothing to do with us. We should immediately find a hotel because it was very late." Tenku said. Even though he was curious about the purpose of the Realizers from the headquarters of the three organizations coming to Kyoto, he didn't want that matter to interfere with his winter vacation.

"You guys still haven't booked a hotel to stay?" Kirika raised her eyebrows after hearing his words.

"I've tried booking it online but can't get a good inn. Some hotels have vacant rooms but only one left. So I considered looking for lodging directly and hoped to get a good place to stay." Tenku explained.

"That's good! Then, how about you stay at my house during your vacation in Kyoto? Don't worry. I live alone. Besides, my house is big and spacious enough for all of you to live in. What do you think?" Kirika looked at Tenku expectantly. Although she offered them a place to stay, she only asked Tenku's opinion, not the three girls. As usual, Kirika's eyes focused only on Tenku and ignored Setsuka and the others.

"What are you planning to do by inviting us to stay at your house?" Setsuka narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Do you intend to do something to Tenku in your house? I won't let you succeed even if you have made preparations there." Wan Ruyue added, and she released her aura to intimidate Kirika.

On the other hand, Kaede just nodded at the two girls' words because she couldn't show her displeasure to Kirika in front of Tenku. She felt embarrassed if Tenku found out about her feelings for him.

"I don't plan to invite you to stay at my house. I thought finding a hotel at this hour would be difficult. Moreover, you probably won't get it since you're looking for it during winter break. I'm sure all the good inns are fully occupied." Kirika turned her eyes to the three girls and answered.

"I don't believe you." Setsuka quickly replied.

"I also feel the same as her." Wang Ruyue agreed with Setsuka. The two became closer and less quarrelsome since Kirika appeared between them.

"It's up to you whether you want to believe it. But if you don't want to stay at my house, that's fine. I can invite Tenku to stay alone with me. I will not prevent you from looking for a hotel at this hour. But I warned you guys, so don't blame me." Kirika shrugged her shoulders like she didn't care about their replies.

Setsuka and Wang Ruyue were angry when they heard Kirika's words. They wanted to say something to her, but Tenku interrupted them.

"Alright. Stop, you three. Why do you guys always fight every time you have the chance? If you guys keep doing that, we'll bother the people around us." Tenku sighed and massaged his forehead.

Usually, Setsuka and Wang Ruyue could keep their composure, while Kirika always kept her idol-like behavior. But somehow, they didn't hold back and became like little girls when they fought.

"We are sorry!" Setsuka and the other two girls quickly realized their mistake and said apologetically.

"You don't need to worry about that anymore. We will accept Kirika's offer to stay at her house because it is already late and you are tired. It's better for you to rest at her residence than for us to waste our time looking for vacant rooms in hotels and inns in Kyoto.

Do you have objections to my decision? If you disagree, we will still look for lodging after we leave the airport." Tenku smiled and said softly to Setsuka and the others.

"No, we have no objections to your decision." Wang Ruyue was the first to reply to his words.

"Yes, you're right. We should not waste time looking for a hotel at this hour." Setsuka nodded in agreement at his decision.

"I have nothing to say because I will follow whatever you decide." Kaede added.

Even though the three girls weren't happy because they had to stay at Kirika's house, what Tenku said was true. So they have to accept it because they are tired and sleepy.

"Well then, that thing has already been decided! I guarantee that you will not be disappointed to stay at my house because the service will not lose to the three-star hotel where you stay in Sapporo." Kirika said excitedly. She had already thought of several plans in her head to spend time alone with Tenku at her house.

"That's good." Tenku smiled and nodded slightly while the other three girls had sullen faces.

Tenku and his group quickened their pace and intended to leave the airport immediately. But someone called out to Kirika before they could leave that place.

"Kirika!" A handsome, tall, muscular man with a crew cut approached them. When Kirika heard that voice, her bright face became cloudy. She turned around and saw the man smiling at her

"It turns out it is you, Kirika! I thought that I had mistaken the other person. Are you taking time off from your idol job and want to spend your winter holidays in Kyoto?" The man said excitedly, ignoring the other people around Kirika.

"It is none of your business. Please don't call my name like that because we're not close. Most importantly, what are you doing here?" Kirika asked indifferently.

The man who spoke to Kirika was Chizen Kinzoku. He is the son of the head of the Kinzoku family, one of the most powerful Realizer groups in Japan. The Kinzoku family's residence should be in the Osaka area, the same as the headquarters of the League of Heroes.

Chizen is a Realizer in the same organization as Kirika, and they have met several times. After that, he had affection for her and kept pursuing her. Unfortunately, it was a one-sided love because Kirika didn't like him and kept her distance from him. So it's only natural that Kirika is suspicious of Chizen's appearance in Kyoto.

"Haha... You're still as indifferent as the last time we met. Don't worry. I didn't come here specifically for you. But I do intend to see you after my mission is completed. I'm lucky to see you here. I heard you are very busy with your work as an idol and have toured several cities in Japan.

So I didn't expect much to be able to meet you. But fate was very kind to us and brought us together at the airport. It shows that we are destined." Chizen answered and smiled refreshingly.

"Mission? Is it from the League of Heroes headquarters?" Kirika frowned after she heard Chizen's reply. She didn't care about his other words, but he couldn't miss it when it was related to the organization.

"Huh? What do you mean by mission? What I'm saying is I have business in Kyoto. I came here for vacation and met some of my friends. You must have misheard what I said." Chizen realized that he had slipped his tongue and quickly fixed it.

Kirika narrowed her eyes in response to his words. Chizen was nervous, and he averted his eyes from her. Then he found Tenku and the others behind Kirika. Chizen was slightly surprised when he saw Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede. He felt that they were no less beautiful than Kirika. But his face darkened when he saw a man between them.

"Who are they? Where's Fumiko?" Chizen looked at Kirika and asked with a serious face. He didn't care about Setsuka and the other two girls. What he wants to know is about Tenku. Chizen can't let a fly get near the girl he loves.

"Ah, they are my friends from Tokyo. You must have heard of this girl. Just like you, she is the daughter of the head of one of Japan's most powerful Realizer groups." Kirika pointed at Setsuka and introduced her to Chizen.

"Ooh... So you are the daughter of the Fuyushima family? Even though you're pretty, you're not as good as Kirika." Chizen looked at Setsuka from head to toe like he was sizing her up.

Setsuka frowned at Chizen's behavior. She was displeased with him but not because he said she wasn't as good as Kirika. Setsuka didn't care about that because she was confident that she wasn't inferior to that girl even though she was an idol. Setsuka reacted like that because how Chizen looked at her made her uncomfortable. But she chose to remain silent and only nodded her head in response to his words.

"The person next to her is her best friend and classmate, Kaede Kobayashi, while the other one is a girl from China. She is currently spending her winter vacation in Japan." Kirika introduced Kaede and Wang Ruyue. She could only tell him a little about Wang Ruyue because she didn't know her well.

Although it was troublesome to introduce them one by one, Kirika had to because Chizen was her senior in the organization, and he was the son of the Kinzoku family.

"Then who is that man? Why is he with you? Didn't you say you don't want to be close to any man?" Chizen glared at Tenku and unleashed his bloodlust.
