NOVEL WEB Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Black, White, and Gold – The Meeting of Three Kings (Seeking flowers, seeking evaluation votes)
“No, Mr. Bai Luo is not that kind of person!”
Kurumi Tiske, who often enforced laws by fishing among the thugs, was very familiar with the gaze of men.
However, Bai Luo had no ill intentions towards Kurumi Tiske.
Perhaps his eyes would fall upon her, but they contained only the admiration and fondness humans have for beautiful things.
“Ah! So annoying!”
Kurumi Tiske was deeply troubled: “Do I really have to shamelessly approach him?”
For some reason, Kurumi Tiske did not want to use seduction as a way to interact with Bai Luo.
She didn’t want Bai Luo to think she was a promiscuous woman.
“If you need anything, just call me.”
Suddenly, Bai Luo’s voice echoed in Kurumi Tiske’s mind: “Being in the same chat group is a form of fate, so don’t feel any psychological burden.”
“Mr. Bai Luo?”
Kurumi Tiske looked up; she hadn’t expected Bai Luo to agree so readily.
Thus, this title ‘Mr.’ came from her heart.
The young girl lightly touched her chest, and after all these years, Kurumi Tiske once again felt the warmth of being cared for by someone.
“Really, this is too sly, isn’t it?”
Murmuring these words, Kurumi Tiske smiled genuinely.
“You laugh, it’s quite disgusting.”
Misaka Mikoto’s sudden interjection instantly shattered the wonderful atmosphere Kurumi Tiske had imagined.
“Are you really from Japan?”
“Do you want me to teach you how to read the air?”
“And what do you mean by laughing disgustingly? Isn’t my smile supposed to be like an angel’s?”
“…”
Kurumi Tiske’s defenses were broken, and she harshly poked Ace’s cheeks.
That domineering momentum made even Ace take a step back in fear.
Realizing this, Ace’s expression turned embarrassed and unwilling, and she began her daily verbal sparring with Kurumi Tiske.
“Online and offline, both are equally lively.”
Bai Luo exchanged glances with Adolf K. Wiesmann, and both of them couldn’t help but express the same sigh.
“What do you plan to do with him?”
Bai Luo handed the light sphere in his hand to Adolf K. Wiesmann.
Due to the departure of the Colorless King, Adolf K. Wiesmann’s original body had already fallen to the ground.
This wasn’t something to worry about.
Bai Luo’s Black Authority Crown encompassed the abilities of all Authority Holders, so if he wanted, he could help Adolf K. Wiesmann return to his original body at any time.
“I don’t know either.”
Adolf K. Wiesmann looked at the Colorless King cursing, going mad, pleading, and being lost within the light sphere.
“Pitiful fellow.”
The Colorless King constantly seized others’ bodies and consciousnesses, causing his own self to become extremely chaotic.
With numerous personalities overlapping, it was fair to say he was already insane.
“With such a major incident, the lieutenant must have noticed here by now.”
Adolf K. Wiesmann sighed: “I intend to find the lieutenant and hear his opinion.”
“The Golden King, huh?”
“Alright, then I’ll leave this guy to you.”
Bai Luo didn’t care and casually handed over the light sphere to Adolf K. Wiesmann for safekeeping.
As fellow Authority Holders, with Bai Luo’s permission, Adolf K. Wiesmann quickly mastered the method to control this prison.
“I’ll help you return to your original body first.”
“Hmm.”
Adolf K. Wiesmann did not refuse: “Then I’ll trouble you.”
“We’re all comrades, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Bai Luo smiled, patted Adolf K. Wiesmann on the shoulder, and then used the power of the Black King to let Adolf K. Wiesmann’s soul return to his body.
After a few minutes, Adolf K. Wiesmann’s eyelids twitched a few times before slowly opening.
“How do you feel?”
“A little dizzy…”
Adolf K. Wiesmann gradually regained consciousness, stood up, and supported his forehead with one hand: “It feels like I’ve slept for a long time.”
The ability of the Colorless King was to invade another’s body, while the original consciousness would sleep under its suppression.
Therefore, after Adolf K. Wiesmann woke up, the unnamed youth on the other side also regained consciousness.
“Where am I?”
The nameless youth was greatly surprised; he had no idea what had happened, only feeling that when he closed his eyes and opened them again, many strangers surrounded him.
“Take a nap first, young man.”
Bai Luo snapped his fingers in front of the white-haired youth, making him fall asleep.
“Thank you.”
Adolf K. Wiesmann stepped forward, letting his Sacred Domain envelop the youth, then took him to the Non-Time Institute to seek out the Golden King.
“Then we’ll go back first.”
It was originally just a trial visit; Tanjiro needed to return to sleep, and Ace had school to attend.
“It’s still bothersome to have classes.”
Ace frowned: “Even though there’s a chat group where we can adventure in another world, why do I still have to go to class?”
It was just like the protagonist of a light novel.
Even though I saved the world yesterday, today I still have to obediently return to school.
“Ara, children should study diligently.”
Kurumi Tiske didn’t hide her superiority, which infuriated Ace: “You damn old woman!”
“Airport!”
“You’re not much older than me, are you?”
Ace and Kurumi Tiske were truly incompatible; they could argue for an entire day after exchanging just three sentences.
Bai Luo patted Tanjiro’s shoulder, and the latter couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.
“I’m planning to return too, what about you guys?”
Although Bai Luo had nothing pressing, he still had many young ones to take care of.
Leaving for a short while in the middle of the night was fine, but staying away for too long, Bai Luo feared they might worry.
“I have to practice tomorrow, I should go too.”
“Can’t wait for the holidays.”
“See you next time, Mr. Bai Luo.”
Seeing Kurumi Tiske reverting to honorifics, Bai Luo asked: “Why the change?”
“Ara~~”
Kurumi Tiske covered her mouth and giggled: “This isn’t mere politeness, Mr. Bai Luo.”
Whether it was Bai Luo’s personality, his considerate actions towards her, or his willingness to help her, all deserved Kurumi Tiske’s respect and gratitude.
After several attempts, seeing that Kurumi Tiske was unwilling to correct herself, Bai Luo let her be.
“Hehe~~”
Kurumi Tiske was pleased with her successful teasing: “Looking forward to our next meeting.”
And thus, Kurumi Tiske, Ace, and Tanjiro successively exited the K World, returning to their previous positions before crossing over.
“Back already?”
Tanjiro entered the house; he had taken the opportunity to traverse worlds during a midnight bathroom break.
Now that he returned, he strangely felt guilty, as if he had done something wrong.
Fortunately, Master Rengoku Shingetsu didn’t pay attention, allowing Tanjiro to bluff his way through.
“Sleep, sleep.”
The charcoal-selling boy dived into bed.
Unfortunately, although Tanjiro wanted to sleep, every time he closed his eyes, the battles he witnessed earlier kept flashing in his mind.
Ace’s superpowers, Kurumi Tiske’s Kukkuruki Emperor, the Colorless King’s Sacred Domain, and Bai Luo’s overwhelming power that seemed to grasp the entire starry sky.
“Is Brother Bai Luo a god?”
“Yeah, it’s definitely like that!”
Tanjiro secretly marveled and simultaneously developed a sense of anticipation: “I wonder if Brother Bai Luo can solve Tzudoki’s problem.”
“Huff… Huff…”
Regardless of Tanjiro who was fantasizing wildly.
On the streets of Academy City, Misaka Mikoto ran nonstop with a piece of bread in her mouth: “Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!!”
Although it was still four o’clock in the morning before crossing over,
when Ace returned, the clock’s needle was already pointing at the number eight, making her panic.
Unable to maintain the dignity of a lady from Tokiwadai, Ace hastily shoved a piece of bread into her mouth and rushed out of the door.
Of course, this was not due to the Demon Gods of the Magic Prohibition world.
The chat group provided some protection for its members, shielding Misaka Mikoto from the prying eyes of the Demon Gods.
The reason for this situation was Kurumi Tiske.
“Hahaha~~”
As if guessing the predicament Ace would face, Kurumi Tiske laughed until she curled up on her bed.
“You really have a nasty sense of humor, Kurumi.”
In the K World, Bai Luo followed Adolf K. Wiesmann to the Non-Time Institute.
There were countless things Adolf K. Wiesmann and the Golden King had to discuss after seventy years apart.
Bai Luo didn’t disturb the two elders reminiscing, so he found a random spot and browsed the entertainment section of this world’s tablet computer.
Unconsciously, hours passed.
“Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
“You’ve already apologized multiple times in the chat group,” Bai Luo said indifferently: “Besides, I wasn’t bored at all here.”
As he spoke, Bai Luo waved the tablet in his hand, which was currently playing anime from this world.
“Your magnanimity is astonishing.”
By Adolf K. Wiesmann’s side, an elder dressed in a kimono bowed deeply to Bai Luo and said: “Our esteemed guest, we apologize for the inadequate hospitality.”
“I am the second Authority Holder, the Golden King, Okunorochi Dajaku.”
“It’s an honor to meet Your Majesty, the Black King.”
Okunorochi Dajaku kept his posture low, showing none of the arrogance expected of the Golden King.
This was partly due to his respect for Bai Luo’s identity and strength, and partly because of his old friend Adolf K. Wiesmann’s warnings.
Though Adolf K. Wiesmann was grateful that Bai Luo gave him time to catch up with the lieutenant,
he didn’t hesitate to mention Bai Luo frequently to Okunorochi Dajaku.
Adolf K. Wiesmann reminded him that Bai Luo held a noble position and possessed unfathomable strength.
Treat Bai Luo with utmost caution!
“On this side as well, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Bai Luo stood up and extended his hand toward Okunorochi Dajaku: “Lord Golden King.”
