I am translating a new novel (Multiverse Conquest Starting from Dragon Ball). Read it and support me.
The next day, early morning.
Walking on the road towards Butei High, Aria and Shirayuki flanked Fang Li on either side, with their eyes locked on each other, and it looked as if sparks could fly between them so the tension was thick in the air.
"Sigh..."
Walking between the two, Fang Li didn't know how many times he'd sighed, revealing his helplessness and frustration.
Around them, other students from Butei High were walking as well, noticing the situation, and whispers began to spread.
"Isn't that Fang Li from 2nd Year, Class A?"
"The second-year S-Rank Butei from the Assault Division?"
"Looks like he's back."
"I heard he was out on a mission for three whole months, almost missing the entire semester."
"Wow, that must've been a high-ranked mission."
"His credits must be off the charts."
"I bet the reward was huge too."
"I envy S-Rank Butei."
As they discussed, the students' eyes shifted back and forth between Fang Li, Aria, and Shirayuki, eventually turning into hushed whispers.
"This guy just got back and already has two beautiful girls accompanying him to school?"
"That's something to be jealous of, for sure."
"That's Kanzaki from the Assault Division and Hotogi from the S-Ken Division, right?"
"Both are famous beauties..."
"But doesn't the atmosphere seem off?"
"You don't get it. It's probably some love triangle."
"...Serves him right."
Conversations like this started to spread.
Aria and Shirayuki might not have heard it, but Fang Li did.
"Sigh..."
Another sigh escaped from Fang Li's lips.
"I came back to this world to rest, I came back to this world to rest..."
But judging from the current situation, the 'rest' was nowhere to be found.
Even though it had only been one day since his return, he hadn't felt the least bit of relaxation.
Fang Li's sigh seemed to catch the attention of both Aria and Shirayuki.
"Why do you keep sighing like that?" Aria said, clearly dissatisfied. "It makes people feel bored, and it's an easy way to age and go bald."
And why?
Isn't it obvious who's causing this?
"Are you okay, Li Kun?" Shirayuki asked, full of concern. "Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take care of you? I've taken some courses in first aid. I could even wear a nurse's uniform if you want! Anything for you, Li Sama!"
'No, thank you.'
'Honestly, Shirayuki, ever since yesterday, your character has been completely falling apart. Please, at least try to maintain a bit of that Yamato Nadeshiko image you used to have.'
Fang Li could only silently complain to himself, ignoring Aria's dissatisfaction and Shirayuki's eagerness as they walked toward Butei High.
Before long, the group arrived at the school gates.
At that moment, Aria exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn't that Reki?"
Hearing this, Fang Li's eyes flashed, and he looked up.
At the entrance of Butei High, Reki was standing there.
She still wore her headphones and she was still dressed in her uniform.
However, the dangerously powerful sniper rifle was now packed inside a guitar case-like bag, slung over one shoulder.
Reki stood at the school gate, her eyes fixed in their direction.
Her target was obvious.
"...She's looking at Fang Li."
"...She's looking at Li Kun."
Aria and Shirayuki muttered in unison, forgetting their previous disagreements.
Fang Li, of course, knew that Reki was staring at him.
That gaze, just like last night and every time before, was completely devoid of emotion.
But even so, Reki started walking towards Fang Li.
Looking at Reki, both Aria and Shirayuki wore expressions of confusion.
As for Fang Li, he began to frown.
"Could it be that Reki still hasn't given up?"
In other words, Reki was still planning to come and kill Aria.
"She really doesn't know when to quit..." Fang Li sighed as his expression grew calm.
He had decided to overlook what had happened the previous night out of consideration for their past. However, if Reki insisted on continuing this, Fang Li wouldn't hold back.
But in the next second, Fang Li's calmness and composure were completely shattered— obliterated in the most unexpected way, for the very first time.
In front of everyone, as Reki approached the group, she looked straight at Fang Li and said:
"Please become my fiancé."
...
...
......
The sound vanished from the world.
Around them, the students stood in shock, eyes wide.
"Bang!"
A student walked straight into a lamppost.
"Thud!"
A backpack hit the ground.
"Ouch!"
Someone stepped on a leaf, slipped, and fell.
"Pfft!"
Several girls drinking beverages nearby spat out their drinks in shock, forming a rainbow in the air.
As for Fang Li, he was completely frozen on the spot.
"Huh?"
After a long moment, he managed to make a sound, completely out of sync with the situation.
"Wha— wha-what... what...!"
To his left, Aria was utterly dumbfounded, panicking.
"Heh... hehehehe..."
To his right, Shirayuki suddenly started laughing, but her eyes were filled with an aura of death.
In this awkward situation, Reki, unfortunately, repeated herself.
"Please become my fiancé."
Reki spoke in her usual emotionless tone.
"If you don't want to wait, we can get married right away. I want you to become my husband and return to the tribe with me."
Now there was no room to misinterpret her intentions.
A heavy silence spread across the area.
Until, suddenly...
"Ooooooouuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh——!"
A loud uproar erupted around them.
"Reki just proposed to Fang Li!"
"This is huge news!"
"Hurry! Go tell everyone!"
"My God!"
"Reki actually proposed to a man!"
"How romantic!"
In an instant, the surrounding students, always hungry for gossip, broke into cheers, filling the air around Butei High with noise, leaving the people involved in the situation stunned and unable to react properly.
Of course, Fang Li and Aria were the most affected. One stood frozen, while the other blushed furiously, unable to process what had just happened.
Only one person had a clear reaction.
Shirayuki, her entire body radiating a black aura like the Grim Reaper, was now gripping a katana in her hand, though no one knew when she had drawn it.
"Heh... hehehe..."
Shirayuki, her face twisted in a rigid smile, laughed like a broken doll.
A low whisper echoed in the air.
"Second thieving cat..."
With those words, Shirayuki prepared to step forward and deal with the "wicked woman" before her.
But before she could act, an excited voice rang out.
"This is straight out of a classic romance game with beautiful girls!"
"Riko is getting excited!"
