"One hundred million yen!"
"How about it, Miss Haruno? I'm selling it at a friendship price." Shirakawa tossed the flower fruit in his hand and chuckled.
Was one hundred million yen expensive? For ordinary people, it was an astronomical figure. But for the Yukinoshita family, 100 million yen was nothing. According to Yukinoshita Haruno, 100 million yen to buy a supernatural ability was quite affordable.
Yukinoshita Haruno believed that if Shirakawa-sensei wasn't lying about the effect, the price of this devil fruit would at least double if it were to be auctioned on the black market. Haruno held back her excitement, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Shirakawa-sensei, besides this 100 million yen, don't I need to pay anything else?"
Shirakawa glanced at her approvingly. She was worthy of being the successor of the Yukinoshita family, able to clearly measure the value of devil fruits.
"Nothing special. I just hope that Miss Haruno can become the spokesperson for Devil Fruit among the circle of wealthy ladies and wives in the future."
Shirakawa's words fell on Yukinoshita Haruno's ears. She immediately understood Shirakawa's intention and looked at him in shock.
"Shirakawa-sensei, do you mean you have many more of these Devil Fruits?"
Shirakawa didn't answer, only giving her a mysterious smile. He didn't have more Devil Fruits now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't have them in the future. As more gift packs came in, some weird products would definitely be sold to the world.
If something was of no real use to him, it didn't mean it was useless to others. For ordinary people, those items were life-changing. Instead of keeping them, it was better to make good friends with the wives of major financial groups and families through Yukinoshita Haruno.
"Only this?" she asked.
"That's it."
Haruno blinked her beautiful eyes. She originally thought it would be an even more excessive request. She had envisioned having to carry all the burden herself, entertaining him, and then he would take her and her sister together...
Just now, a series of pictures had come to her mind. It turned out she was overthinking. Haruno's pretty face turned slightly crimson, and a bit of inexplicable disappointment appeared in her heart.
"No, why am I disappointed!"
Haruno's eyes moved away from Shirakawa's handsome face. She stretched out her white and tender hand and placed it on the flower fruit.
"Shirakawa-sensei, I accept this deal."
Shirakawa raised the corners of his mouth slightly and handed the flower fruit to Yukinoshita Haruno.
"Shirakawa-sensei, aren't you afraid that I'll back away from the deal after eating it?"
"You're not afraid this is a fake, and I'm still afraid you'll back away?"
Haruno accepted the flower fruit and said solemnly, "It will take me two days to collect the entire amount. After that, I will bring it over in person."
One hundred million yen was nothing to the Yukinoshita family, but to Haruno, it was still a relatively large amount. There was no way she could come up with it on her own; she would need her mother's support.
Shirakawa did not let Takanashi Rikka and the girls train for too long. Work and rest should be balanced. Even with the heaven-defying comprehension BUFF, there was no way Takanashi and the girls would never get tired. For the sake of their bodies, Shirakawa quickly ended the after-school training and told them to go home and rest.
As Shirakawa was preparing to leave school, he saw a pink-haired girl standing at the school gate. After seeing Shirakawa coming out, she immediately showed an excited smile.
"Shirakawa-sensei~"
Shirakawa looked at Hanazono Hakari in surprise and walked over to her. "Didn't I ask you to go home?"
Hanazono Hakari stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "My driver had something to do today and can't come. So, Shirakawa-sensei... can you give me a ride?" Hanazono Hakari blinked her big, pitiful eyes, leaned next to Shirakawa, and whispered, "And, I have a little secret to tell the teacher..."
Shuka High School.
A pink-haired girl wearing sportswear and carrying a guitar timidly walked out of the school. The girl sensed that the students passing by seemed to glance at her with scrutiny or ridicule.
"They must think it's too unreasonable for someone like me to dare to pretend to be a band girl..."
The sensitive Goto lowered her head in fear and left the school grounds quickly. She walked alone on a street with few passersby. After she could no longer feel the sight of others, she relaxed a little.
"The Band Girl persona also failed today..."
Goto sighed sadly. When would she be able to live a campus life that attracts everyone's attention? Goto was walking with her head lowered when she suddenly noticed two more shadows on the ground. She was so frightened that she stopped quickly.
"Sorry...…"
The words of apology came out of her mouth subconsciously. However, what came into her ears was a light and arrogant voice.
"Hey, this girl seems to be in a band... she must be very rich!"
"Hand over all the money you have and I will spare your life today!"
Goto raised her head in horror. Standing in front of her were two bald gangsters.
"I... I don't have any money."
Goto Hitori grasped the strap of the guitar bag in her hand and said weakly.
"No money? I think your guitar is quite expensive..."
When the gangster's contemptuous voice fell into her ears, Goto felt bad all over.
"There's no one on this road either..."
If she had known she would encounter something like this, she would rather bear the pointing eyes of others.
"My guitar..."
Goto was so frightened that she felt like crying but had no tears. Just when she was about to compromise and put down her guitar bag, a middle-aged voice suddenly sounded.
"Eat one of my Seraph Holy Cannons!"
The two gangsters turned around and looked in shock. What greeted them were two bricks thrown out one after another, hitting them directly.
"Hiss, it hurts..."
They cried out in pain.
Opening her eyes, Goto saw a petite pink-haired girl speaking righteously with her hands on her hips.
"Huh, it's already very difficult for everyone to live an ordinary life, but you damn little gangsters are still extorting money!"
After saying that, she picked up two more stones and threw them at the gangsters. They were so frightened that they quickly avoided it.
"Goto-san, run away quickly!"
When Goto was in a daze, a pair of hands held her. Only then did Goto react. She looked at the pink-haired girl beside her and said in surprise, "Sa, Satone-san..."
Satone Shichimiya gestured towards her and said while running, "Call me the Magical Devil Girl Sophia!"
"Okay, okay, Magical Demon King Sophia."
Goto said while stumbling over her words.
Satone Shichimiya was her classmate. She was a very cute girl but extremely passionate about the world of chuunibyou. Goto had always kept a respectful distance from her. After all, this kind of social terrorist-level chuunibyou was simply not something that a socially anxious person like her could withstand.
"But... Shichimiya-san is so brave."
Goto thought gratefully in her heart. At this time, the two gangsters looked at the girls' backs with anger and ferocity.
"If you hadn't attacked, you would have been fine, but now you're going to die!"
They took out their mobile phones and tried to call someone. "Brother, there are two human girls running towards you!"
The words had just fallen when a figure suddenly appeared in front of Goto Hitori and Satone Shichimiya. The two girls suddenly stopped and looked at the figure in front of them with a hint of horror. Ragged clothes, blood-red pupils, and a red tentacle extending from his waist.
"It's a ghoul!"
Satone Shichimiya tightened her hold on Goto's arm and took a step back, her pretty face turning pale.
"Run, why don't you run!"
Behind them, the wild sounds of the gangsters could be heard.
"As humans, you are working with ghouls."
Satone Shichimiya shouted at the bald gangsters with an ugly face. The two of them spread their hands indifferently.
"Brother, the guitar that little girl is carrying is very valuable. Be careful not to damage the guitar when you kill her!"
When Goto heard this, her whole body froze in place. Not only was she going to lose her guitar, but even her life!
Satone Shichimiya's pretty face also turned pale. The self-defense skills she learned in the school's martial arts class gave her the confidence to deal with the two gangsters. But against a ghoul... there's absolutely nothing she could do.
"I'll try to be careful!"
The ghoul showed a cruel smile. Immediately, his tail rushed directly towards the two girls. Goto stayed rooted to the spot, and Satone Shichimiya's beautiful eyes widened. They couldn't react at all and could only watch helplessly as the ghoul attacked.
At this moment, a girl's scream sounded.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
Suddenly, a wall of earth rose in front of Satone Shichimiya, withstanding the ghoul's attack.
"What's this?" Satone Shichimiya was stunned. Before she could react, two frightened screams suddenly came from behind her. Looking back, she saw strange black flames suddenly igniting on the young gangsters. They slapped the flames in horror, but the fire only grew stronger.
"Water... water!" The two wailed while frantically looking for water sources. When they saw the fire hydrant on the roadside, they used all their strength to unscrew it.
Water gushed out!
The two were overjoyed but immediately fell into deeper despair. The black flames could not be extinguished. They gradually lost consciousness, wailing in despair, until everything was burned to the ground.
Satone Shichimiya's scalp felt numb. But more importantly, her anger was relieved. In today's world, those who collude with ghouls for their own selfish purposes may have killed countless people, and thus they simply deserve to die.
"But, who saved us?" Satone Shichimiya looked around and finally saw two figures, a man and a woman, at the corner of the road. She saw the girl changing handprints.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
After a loud shout, an earth dragon head suddenly appeared on the ground and sprayed earth dragon bullets towards the ghoul.
Satone Shichimiya's eyes widened.
The earth dragon bullet landed on the ghoul with a bang, sending him flying several meters away. The ghoul spat out a mouthful of blood and felt that all his internal organs had been smashed and displaced. He glanced at the two figures not far away in horror. He had never seen such a strange attack method.
"Run quickly."
Without thinking, he turned around and started to run away.
"He's going to run away. Do you want me to help?" Shirakawa lowered his head and looked at Hanazono Hakari, and said softly.
Hanazono Hakari had a confident smile on her pretty face. She raised her head and glanced at Shirakawa, and said mysteriously, "Shirakawa-sensei, let me give it a try..."
After finishing her words, her beautiful crimson eyes condensed slightly and she clapped her hands.
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"
The next moment, a few trees broke out of the ground from under the ghoul's feet. In an instant, they entangled him and grew larger, trapping the ghoul firmly inside. Shirakawa glanced at Hanazono Hakari, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. Although there were only a few trees, not worthy of the scale of the advent of a world, there was no doubt that it was a wood release.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Shirakawa's mind. This immediately cleared his confusion. This girl, under the influence of his teaching halo, had awakened wood release.
"It... succeeded!" Hanazono Hakari jumped up excitedly and jumped directly onto Shirakawa. "Shirakawa-sensei, I succeeded."
She had only wanted to give it a try but didn't expect it to work. Ever since she stood next to Shirakawa in the morning and saw him perform Wood Release, she had a vague feeling that she could do it too. But she never tried. But as long as she stood next to Shirakawa, her feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Shirakawa-sensei, this is the little secret I wanted to tell you!" Hanazono Hakari hung on Shirakawa's body, saying with a sweet smile.
