CH 72.6

With the meaningless monologue out of the way, the noon sun is really starting to scorch Murong Jihua’s anxious little heart with its heat, and the seconds hand is starting to spin in circles again. What a peaceful day this is.

The showdown, starts with Princess Elizabeth’s crisp announcement of “皆さん” (TL: “Everyone”).

She pumps out her indescribably fabulous long white dress, which, rather than sweeping the ground, is floating in mid-air——Thanks to the bundle of restless balloons in the end.

Her yell has made her presence which was already 80% attention-grabbing right up into 99.9%.

“Come admire my dance~~!”

——Murong Jihua is unable to put into words the lethality of a fabulously dressed Princess Elizabeth speaking with her full acting skills backing her up——

However, his body’s response is the most honest. At least, even when Murong Jihua already has someone in his heart, he is still assaulted by goosebumps all over.

Not to mention the spectating crowd who are only here to take a stroll or see what the ruckus is about.

This must be, what it was, to be electrocuted.

——All the way until the micro-drones’ surveillance camera sweeps a scan past himself does Murong Jihua guiltily, helplessly, surprisingly discover,

Oh fuck! The shaoye just handed them a victory point on a platter already?!

Two points, jeez! It’s two points!

He Jünle can only earn it back by selling his sex appeal to two others!

Wait,

Where’s He Jünle?!

The CEO who realises he’s completely lost sight of his dear lover from the very beginning would like to say,

Oh no, oh this is bad.

——The mini-terminal he has installed by his ear rings up with Sophia’s voice, “boss, shao-furen is currently at your 10 o’clock direction, 800 metres away from you.”

“How is he running so quickly?!”

Murong Jihua retrieves a stack of cash from his purse, and grabs onto a random silly primary school student here to watch the ruckus while stepping on his skateboard, and gives him the money while hurriedly saying,

Before the boy could even go “help Mr Police there is a weird man here aaaah” his nose has almost been irritated to a sneeze by the fat sense of money in his hand, and he stutters while replying, “oh, ok!”

Murong Jihua then races against the wind and rushes for his target.

“Sophia, report.”

“Up to this point, Princess Elizabeth has 55 points, shao-furen has 3 points.”

“…”

Oh. My. God!

There. Is. A. Big. Problem!

Princess Elizabeth’s area-of-effect magic skills’ strike are too easy for crowd control!

If she then heads elsewhere…

To a plaza? A commercial street? Bars?

Then, how could one He Jünle ever make enough points for a comeback?!

Murong Jihua thinks his skateboard skills are adequate,

Not number one, perhaps, but at least, comparable to Detective Conan, right?

However, when he is navigating through the crowds of people and traffic, maintaining a consistent velocity with zero acceleration while still performing tricks in the air——

He realise, the distance between himself and He Jünle, is also moving away at a constant acceleration.

He is suspecting life already.

Not even driving will get you away this fast!

Besides, the crowds gathered up is already terrifying. One traffic jam every few blocks would be hard even for cyclists to move quickly no matter how good at taking advantage they are!

He’s getting more and more worried just thinking about it…

“Sophia, report!”

“Princess Elizabeth at 102 points,

And shao-furen… eh?”

“What?”

“He’s at… 50 already? And it’s still racing right after Princess Elizabeth at a horrifying pace.”

In fact, Murong Jihua is correct.

His skateboard skills are certainly amazing, flowing through the streets like a breeze.

He did not underestimate himself; he merely underestimated He Jünle.

He Jünle isn’t actually on a motorcycle or skateboard or bicycle right now…

For him, running in a crowd, his own legs are the most perfect mode of transportation.

He Jünle would like to say – invincibility really is the loneliest.
