<h4>Chapter 289: Thus, Joou-sama knew…</h4>


    Sensing that Shokuhou Misaki just wanted to piss off Mikoto and knowing that Mikoto would rampage as a result, Wu Yan hurriedly put a stop to them.


    "Joou-sama, let''s finish our business first, leave the chatter forter, okay?"


    Shokuhou Misaki rolled her eyes, she''s a bit upset that he stood up for Mikoto and spoiled her fun but Wu Yan only responded with a silly smile.


    He needs to think up of a way to get these two to live together in peace since they are more or less his wives already.


    He silently cried because he knew this is not going to be an easy feat.


    Mikoto and the other girls knew he had something in mind when he brought Shokuhou Misaki over. Deducing that it had something to do with what Wu Yan told them before, Mikoto and Hinagiku realized his motive and looked at ndre-chan in his chest with pity in their eyes.


    Mikoto snorted and turned the other way with a cold hmph. She''s going to pretend that Shokuhou Misaki''s not here. ndre-chan might stick to Wu Yan only but almost every girl here except for Ikaros who aren''t emotionally developed find that they can''t resist ndre-chan''s charms.


    Shokuhou Misaki looked a bit disappointed that she can''t bother Mikoto anymore, she turned her head the other way as well. Wu Yan had a feeling that Joou-sama came here mainly to piss someone off rather than to help.


    Shokuhou Misaki finally noticed ndre-chan who is still in Wu Yan''s arms. When she saw how cute ndre-chan is, her starry eyes beamed up.


    Even Joou-sama isn''t exempted from the charming tentacles of ndre-chan''s cuteness.


    When Joou-sama took note of ndre-chan''s deep red eyes that was almost the same shade as Wu Yan''s, she flinched and instantly asked without holding back.


    "Surely, this child isn''t your daughter right?"


    Hinagiku, Mikoto, Astrea, Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou almost fell to the floor. Ikaros also looked at Shokuhou Misaki with shock.


    If he was not holding ndre-chan, Wu Yan might have found himself on the floor as well. He replied with an unamused tone.


    "May I ask what led you to that conclusion?"


    Shokuhou Misaki looked at Wu Yan with foxy eyes. She looked at ndre-chan and pointed out the colors of her eyes.


    "Don''t you two share the same eyes?"


    Wu Yan choked. There are a lot of people who share the same eye color but probably not many had red eyes. When the two of them shared the same color, of course, some people might think they had some kind of blood rtion.


    Joou-sama could have beat around the bush a bit instead of dropping a bomb like that…


    Wu Yan wanted to exin the situation and deny that statement but he didn''t have a usible exnation for why they share the same eye color. Without thinking, Wu Yan replied.


    "If I say she''s not my daughter would you believe?"


    Shokuhou Misaki touched her chin with her index finger before she nodded and answered contrary to his expectation.


    "I would!"


    Wu Yan''s eyebrows jolted.


    "And why would you believe me just like that?"


    Shokuhou Misakiughed and she responded with a tongue-in-cheek attitude.


    "Well, I don''t believe you can contribute to the creation of such a magnificent creature!"


    All the girls there heard something snap, apparently, it came from Wu Yan.


    He heaved and he calmed himself down, it''s pointless to fight words with Joou-sama. It''s okay, he''s going to get his revenge when they get in bed at ater date…


    Wu Yan managed to console himself with that, more like, he grinned. Some of the girls more familiar with him recognized that grin and they became doubtful of his intention. Shokuhou Misaki had a look of shock and then she lowered her head in regret after realizing something.


    Her heart raced and her knees almost gave out when she recalled something. To prevent a further continuation of this subject which might lead to him divulging shameful details, she hurriedly cut him short.


    "Alright, didn''t you bring me here to look at the kid? Come now, let''s not waste any more daylight."


    Wu Yan narrowed his eyes and he stored the subject matter he had in mind, intending to make her pay with interest.


    He looked at ndre-chan who is still snuggled in his chest.


    "ndre-chan, let the big sister over there take a look at you…"


    ndre-chan didn''t know what is going on but since Wu Yan said so, ndre-chan looked at Shokuhou Misaki and nodded lightly.


    Shokuhou Misaki nodded and she took out a remote controller from her handbag. Pointing it at ndre-chan, she clicked a button.


    With a beep, ndre-chan''s pupils dted, her energetic eyes became ssy.


    Hinagiku, Mikoto, and Astrea held their breath as if they are afraid they might disturb Shokuhou Misaki. Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou didn''t understand what is going on but judging on circumstantial cues, they decided that the best thing to do is to remain quiet and watch.


    Shokuhou Misaki''s starry eyes dimmed down as well. Her eyes suddenly wavered and a surprised expression appeared on her face. The crowd trembled thinking ndre-chan had some deep underlying issue.


    Luckily, Shokuhou Misaki recovered much to everyone''s relief. Wu Yan bitterlyughed.


    Joou-sama needs to control her expression or people will get heart attacks…


    Shokuhou Misaki finished her task after a bit of time had passed. She stored the remote away but her eyes looked like she had some questions regarding her. She also adorned aplex expression.


    "Well? How was it?"


    Wu Yan asked after seeing that Shokuhou Misaki had stored her remote control away.


    Shokuhou Misaki looked at him with aplicated look. Noticing the confusion on Wu Yan''s face, Shokuhou Misaki sighed and continued.


    "To think you had such an interesting background story, alternate worlds, System and more… fascinating…"


    Wu Yan, Hinagiku, and Mikoto were shocked. He asked her with a stunned face.


    "So you know about it?"


    Wu Yan recalled that her Mental Out ability could peek into other people''s memories.


    In other words, by peeking at ndre-chan''s memories, she also indirectly got intel on System from ndre-chan.


    Joou-sama knows about the gig.


    Shokuhou Misaki looked at a dumbfounded Wu Yan and she continued with an understanding tone.


    "So that''s why you said there''s a bigger stage waiting for Mikoto to perform on. To people like you who can travel worlds, perhaps Tokiwadai really is just a small pebble along the road…"


    Wu Yan smiled. She''s probably grumbling about the time when he stood up for Mikoto during their first meeting.


    Shokuhou Misaki knew about it but some of them still didn''t know what is going on.


    "Hey hey hey, what are you guys talking about?"


    Kinuhata Saiai screamed.


    "What alternate worlds? What System, what Isekai traveling? Exin yourselves!"


    Wu Yan, Hinagiku, and Mikoto exchanged looks and they revealed a helpless expression.


    crap, the cat''s out of the bag, this is going to be troublesome…
