Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 23

The guests' tasting session has ended. The second half of the program will feature interviews with the customers who visited the store.

Kume Chinatsu kept glancing at Toudou's group, which Kikuchi Shun noticed. Iwabuchi Mei had also been to that table earlier, so he figured that the people at that table must know the two of them. Interviewing them at the first table might make things a bit complicated.

He was about to suggest another table, but Kume Chinatsu had already pulled Iwabuchi Mei directly to Dou Tang's table, and the cameraman followed.

There was nothing he could do; as the host of the show, he had no choice but to follow along.

Chinatsu Kume was overjoyed and was about to strike up a conversation with Toudou when Shun Kikuchi beat her to it. He gestured for the cameraman to start recording and asked, "Excuse me, are you two a couple?"

Huaiyin pretended to be calm as she picked up the teacup, but her hand trembled uncontrollably, and the milk tea inside seemed about to spill out as it shook constantly.

Dou Tang gave her a strange look, then said, "No, we are siblings. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Kikuchi Shun first identified himself as the host of the program, then asked, "Do you two have time for an interview?"

Without a second thought, Dou Tang turned his head away and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

……

what?

It's normal to be rejected, but the way Doo-tang said it made Kikuchi Shun uncomfortable.

The way he rejected me was so cool... no, so cold, like... like rejecting someone handing out flyers on the street?

The illusion of a comfort zone inflates one's ego, a reaction that made Kikuchi Shun frown.

By this time, Huaiyin had almost finished eating. She was half-closing her eyes, resting her chin on her hand contentedly, and looked a little drowsy.

Dou Tang glanced at Kume Chinatsu next to him, and seeing that her show wouldn't be over anytime soon, he simply said, "Huaiyin, let's go."

Huaiyin opened her eyes and said, "Eh? Didn't brother say he was waiting for someone?"

"She can't come because of something, let's go."

After saying that, Dou Tang stood up, and Huai Yin naturally did not object and stood up as well.

Chinatsu Kume, who was standing nearby, panicked and, no longer bothering to pretend she didn't know him, quickly said, "Wait! Kiryu-kun! Don't pretend you don't know me!"

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

The perceptive photographer sensed the juicy gossip and quickly began recording.

Dou Tang frowned: "I see you're very busy. If you had plans today, you could have said so earlier. I didn't bring Huaiyin out here to waste time."

Huaiyin then realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "Brother, is this the sister you were talking about, Kume-kun?"

Chinatsu Kume had no way to express her grievances. According to her plan, she was supposed to finish filming the show and arrive at the time she had agreed to meet with Tou Tang. However, Kikuchi Shun was several tens of minutes late and brought a group of fans with him in a particularly ostentatious manner, making the entire recording process tedious and long, so long that the cream on the cake even hardened a bit.

She quickly said, "Kiryu-kun, it's okay even if I'm not there for the rest of the recording! Let's go shopping now!"

She bowed again to the recording crew: "I'm so sorry, everyone! I have some urgent matters to attend to, please allow me to be absent from the rest of the interview!"

But you just said you were going shopping!

Since the interview segment itself did not require the guests to appear on camera, this request was not obstructed, except that Kikuchi Shun's expression was not very pleasant.

What's going on...? So Chinatsu Kume had made plans with someone else?

He looked Dou Tang up and down. Although Dou Tang still looked a bit childish, his size and eyes were definitely not to be trifled with.

He gave a curt "hmm" with a displeased expression and silently stepped aside, but he had already made a mental note of it.

With the support of the production team, Chinatsu Kume bowed to several people nearby.

He bowed, and then planned to leave with Dou Tang.

But just as Dou Tang was about to leave, Yan Yuanmei, who had been watching for a long time, stopped him. Yan Yuanmei took out his business card and stuffed it into the pocket of Dou Tang's vest, which was sealed tightly.

He patted the pocket and said with a smile, "This pocket is for business cards. Contact me when you get back."

Kikuchi Shun's eye twitched.

Chapter 43: What does Fall Guys' references have to do with Kiryu Toudou?

Dou Tang didn't know what Kikuchi Shun was thinking, but he knew that Huaiyin seemed a little dissatisfied. She was pulling his hand hard, and even though she didn't have much strength, she still wanted to show Dou Tang how powerful she was. It was incredibly cute.

Chinatsu Kume bid farewell to the recording crew, and the three of them left the store and quickly departed.

Entering a shopping mall, Chinatsu Kume couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Kiryu-kun, do you actually know Ms. Iwabuchi?"

Dou Tang asked doubtfully, "Is she very famous?"

Chinatsu Kume stood on the elevator, looked down at Toudou, and said excitedly, "Of course! She's a fashion designer whose Twitter followers have been skyrocketing lately, she's amazing!"

Dou Tang raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Oh? A fashion designer?"

“Yeah, right.” Chinatsu Kume jumped off the elevator. “Her design style is all about cyberpunk and something like… a kind of functional style. I’ve seen her designs, they’re so cool!”

She took out her phone and excitedly found Iwabuchi Mei's Twitter account. Her profile picture was a helmet glowing in the dark, with an LED screen outside the helmet displaying her personal brand logo, which looked like a red demon mask with protruding fangs, fierce yet cool.

Chinatsu Kume swiped her phone and found a set of photos. She showed it to Tou Tang and said, "Look, Kiryu-kun, this is her latest work. Isn't she cool?"

The figures in the picture are in darkness, their bodies glowing with light. Two girls stand facing each other in the darkness, and their helmets are painted with fluorescent paint depicting the images of a blue demon and a red demon.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Dou Tang recognized at a glance that the one holding the Chinese sword was Lu Zizhen.

He knew that Lu Zizhen also worked part-time as a model, but he never expected to run into her like this.

No wonder he knows Lu Zizhen...

"He's quite handsome," Dou Tang commented casually.

Huaiyin became quite excited and exclaimed, "Is this Sister Lu? She looks just like her!"

"You recognized me even though I didn't show my face?" Dou Tang found it unbelievable.

"Sister Lu's figure is very special..." Huaiyin shrank her head.

Chinatsu Kume exclaimed in surprise, "So you guys really do know each other! What a small world!"

"Maybe," Dou Tang replied, then asked, "Are you very familiar with her?"

"Well, not really, it's just that she helped me out of a lot of trouble today. That greasy guy was so groping me...it was so annoying."

After speaking, Kume Chinatsu glanced at Toudou again, but the latter seemed completely uninterested in her experiences, which made her somewhat discouraged.

After that, everything was relatively simple. The three of them strolled around the mall for a long time, bought a lot of things, and in the end, Dou Tang was carrying large and small bags like a shelf.

Don't get me wrong, these weren't bought for Chinatsu Kume, but for Ayane with Chinatsu Kume's advice.

Huaiyin and Kume Chinatsu have become quite familiar with each other. After all, Huaiyin really lacks a normal friend. Dou Tang and Lu Zizhen are both too abnormal.

By noon, Huaiyin had almost finished the desserts she had eaten, and the three of them strolled to the vicinity of Minami-Ikebukuro 2-chome, where they found a teppanyaki restaurant located between two buildings, called Teppanyaki Diner JAKEN.

This shop isn't cheap in Ikebukuro, but Toudou had just received a small fortune, so he was spending lavishly. Although he usually didn't have any ambitions in life, he wanted to give Huaiyin the best he could afford.

"Kiryu-kun... is it really okay for you to treat me to a restaurant like this?" Kume Chinatsu sat down somewhat flustered.

Dou Tang and Huai Yin sat opposite her, looking at the menu side by side. He casually replied, "It's fine, I'll pay. Consider it a little bit of male pride."

Chinatsu Kume opened her eyes and accepted the explanation.

The restaurant's decor is minimalist, with a simple yet alluring modern style. The chandelier above the three people resembles an inverted wine glass, and the lamp wall glows with a wine-red light under the strong light.

"Want to drink?" Dou Tang asked.

"What are you talking about! Kiryu-kun, we're both still minors!" Kume Chinatsu exclaimed in surprise.

"I thought a hot girl like you would already be drinking." Dou Tang pouted and continued ordering.

After quickly ordering, the three began to get down to business.

"Kiryu-kun, about Fall Guys..."

Huaiyin, who was slowly chewing her steak, suddenly perked up her ears, her bright little eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

Dou Tang put a piece of pan-fried Wagyu beef into his mouth and chewed. Actually, he didn't like Wagyu beef because most Wagyu beef had nothing to do with its creamy aroma and fat taste. It was similar to eating foie gras or fatty meat, but not as greasy.

He prefers simple steaks with a rich, meaty flavor to Wagyu beef.

After hearing Kume Chinatsu's words, he slowly swallowed.

Only then did he speak, "What's wrong with Fall Guys?"

"Uh, is it really okay to say this in front of Huaiyin?" Kume Chinatsu hesitated.

"It's alright." Dou Tang chuckled inwardly.

Not only is there no problem, I transform myself every night to sleep with her!

Chinatsu Kume nodded and then said, "Okay, then I'll talk to you."

"As far as I know, Fall Guys appeared more than six months ago, around Christmas last year."

"On Christmas Eve, a channel called Fall Guys Beats Up the Supernatural suddenly appeared online and uploaded its first video after Christmas."

"In the video, Fall Guy throws swift punches as he fights a rotting bear in a deep mountain, eventually knocking the bear down with a single slap and then rushing up to twist off its head."

Dou Tang slowly picked up a piece of asparagus from the hot plate and started eating it with gusto. Huai Yin, who was standing next to him, wanted to laugh when she saw him doing this, but she held it in.

That bear was a zombie bear. It was abandoned by a wealthy family and then, probably because it fled to some suicide hotspots, ate too many corpses, and was corrupted by resentment.

The bear's soul is still a Fall Guy, the kind that particularly enjoys poking at people, presumably because it was too lonely in its previous life.

Seeing that Dou Tang didn't react, Kume Chinatsu continued, "Then, this channel started updating some paranormal videos from time to time. They usually started with various paranormal phenomena, first some paranormal effects, and the atmosphere was very scary."

Then, somewhat amused and exasperated, she said, "But the second half of the video is completely different; it gets really funny. Usually, it's Fall Guys throwing heavy punches to defeat the evil spirits, and every time they transform and beat up the evil spirits, the comments section is flooded with..."

She smiled and showed her phone to Dou Tang. The screen showed an abandoned village deep in the mountains. A strange, illusory figure was standing on the right side of the screen, while a muscular jelly bean strode forward, slowly approaching the vengeful spirit.

"Hey, instead of running away, you're walking towards me? You're walking towards me, Fall Guy!"

"Hahahaha! So why are we using JOJO references?! It's so weird!" Chinatsu Kume laughed so hard she slapped the table.

Huaiyin looked at Doutang with a look full of doubt.

Dou Tang, on the other hand, looked completely innocent.

Those meme-filled scenes were all staged by Lu Zizhen! If you have any questions, go find her!

It has nothing to do with me!
