Chapter 1093 - Kirihara Dojo
Chapter 1093: Kirihara Dojo
The gray car sped past Lu Shu. He was puzzled. Were they going to attack Sakurai Yaeko? Why were they in such a rush?
When Lu Shu thought about this, he stepped on the accelerator and followed the gray car from a distance. He did not allow the car to escape his sight.
To Practitioners like Lu Shu, once they reached his level, their reaction speed and vision had far surpassed the limits of human ability.
Typically, many people did not dare to drive quickly as they were afraid that they could not react in time, for example to obstacles in the road.
Thus, beyond a certain speed, their senses could not keep up. This was the reason why people kept below 120km/h even on expressways.
Kido Takayoshi, who was beside Lu Shu, had turned pale. He nervously grabbed the handle above the car window. “Don’t drive so quickly! I paid you! I paid you, isn’t that enough?!”
“From Kido Takayoshi’s distress, +777!”
Kido Takayoshi was going crazy. He roared, “Why do you have to drive so quickly?!”
Of course, Lu Shu could not reveal his true intentions. “I cannot take others who are faster than me.”
“What kind of poor habit is this?” Kido Takayoshi was furious. He had classified Lu Shu as crazy. “You’re a taxi driver! Do you think that you’re in Initial D[1]?!”
“From Kido Takayoshi’s distress, +666!”
“Hm? Isn’t that car Nakagawa Senpai’s car?” Kido Takayoshi asked curiously.
But at this moment, Lu Shu no longer cared about him. Instead, he focused on what he would do next.
Hm? Lu Shu suddenly realized that when they entered a bustling area of Setagaya, the car slowed down. The car was definitely not heading towards the palace where Sakurai Yaeko was at!
He felt that they might not target Sakurai Yaeko tonight. Instead, they were doing something else.
If the driver was a slave, and not a slave owner, they should be a native citizen of Japan.
Lu Shu had no ill intentions towards the slaves. After all, they had been forced to become slaves. After the slave owner in Kun City had been killed, all the slaves were set free. The Heavenly Network did not trouble them further.
This put the Heavenly Network in an awkward situation. What would they do if the slaves killed other people while being controlled? After all, people had been killed.
Thus, the Heavenly Network was still discussing this issue. After the slaves who had killed people were released, they were temporarily banned from exiting the country. Furthermore, they had to regularly report to the Heavenly Network. They could not go missing.
The car stopped at the entrance of a 24-hour convenience store. A young man alighted from the car and went into the shop.
Lu Shu slowly stopped the taxi by the road. But before the taxi could stop, Kido Takayoshi alighted, took a plastic bag, and vomited. Lu Shu calmly looked at Kido Takayoshi. Was that really necessary? His driving had been quite stable. He had only driven at 108km/h. The car had started to levitate…
After all, it was a taxi. Lu Shu sighed.
To be honest, he did not have much interest in racing. Some people raced due to the feeling of excitement while racing at high speeds, but Lu Shu did not enjoy this.
In reality, a majority of cars, airplanes, and machines were much slower compared to his speed of flying.
A majority of Class A Practitioners were able to break the sound barrier when they flew. Moreover, Lu Shu’s flying speed surpassed that of ordinary Practitioners.
Thus, the car was not as fast as him. Lu Shu subconsciously felt that there was no point in racing. If he had been able to throw the car aside, he would have flown into the air.
But this was good as well. It was more convenient to defend himself with a taxi.
The young man walked out of the 24-hour convenience store. Lu Shu was prepared to start his car, but Kido Takayoshi opened the door and climbed back in. Lu Shu looked at him, puzzled. “Why are you back?”
Kido Takayoshi fiercely said, “Bring me back to the original place!”
Hm? Lu Shu stared at Kido Takayoshi. Did he still dare to be so fierce?
Then, Kido Takayoshi watched as Lu Shu alighted and walked to the passenger seat. Kido Takayoshi was thrown to the street like a chick…
“Go wherever you are supposed to go.” Lu Shu got in the car. He wanted to earn more money from Kido Takayoshi, but the problem was, Setagaya was now very dangerous. It was even more dangerous to be by his side. Kido Takayoshi was not an evil person. There was no need for Lu Shu to risk his life.
The young man got into the gray car and drove west. Lu Shu was dumbfounded. His distant memories flooded back. Ahead of him was the place where he had first infiltrated. The Kirihara dojo.
Back then, Taniguchi Bunndai had burned Kirihara Yousuke’s dojo down. When Lu Shu passed by the dojo, he was dumbfounded. The Kirihara dojo, which had burned into a crisp, had been rebuilt. It was almost exactly the same as before.
Furthermore, “Kirihara” was still hung above the entrance.
What was this? There was no one else from the Kirihara family. Even his relatives had died. Who would rebuild this place for the Kirihara family?
If someone had bought this land and rebuilt this place, it would make sense. But Kirihara’s name was still above the entrance.
Lu Shu looked at the gray car in front of him, who had turned and disappeared. He decided to stop chasing the car. Instead, he stopped by a road not too far away from the Kirihara dojo.
Lu Shu stood in the shadows and secretly observed the new dojo. He was absent-minded. It was as if he had just visited this place yesterday.
He silently scaled the wall and secretly walked around. He tried to find a good angle to see what was happening inside.
He was dumbfounded. Even the inside was completely the same.
Lu Shu was silent. Suddenly, a wooden door opened. A young girl dressed in a cherry blossom kimono walked out. She was so pretty that people would sigh when they saw her. Her elegant features seemed to have been carefully sculpted by God himself.
Long time no see, Sakurai Yaeko.
Suddenly, Lu Shu felt a sense of maturity and stability from her. It was as if these were the qualities that the leader of the Collection of Gods needed to have, but did not fit with her age.
But at the next moment, Lu Shu felt that something was wrong. He turned and jumped into the darkness.
Class A’s were able to sense when others were looking at them. Thus, the moment Lu Shu looked at Sakurai Yaeko, she would have been able to sense it.
Sakurai Yaeko turned and looked at the wall, which was empty. She furrowed her eyebrows. At first, she had thought that those people had come to spy on her. Thus, she acted as if she had not sensed anything to avoid alerting them.
But this time, she could feel that this gaze was different. There seemed to be a familiar warmth.
Sakurai Yaeko stood in the courtyard for a long time. She laughed bitterly. Her cherry blossom kimono was still and fragrant.
