Chapter 1049 The Last Routine 228
While Kobayashi and his friends were joking around, other people from Axel also came to visit. Since Kobayashi needed a large group, many people could come for free, and if they could invite others, they could even get more rewards.
Yougou was one of them. After learning about the water park, she rushed over to visit it in search of inspiration. Unfortunately, the other members of the Red Demon Clan had other things to do, so she was the only one who came to visit this time.
"Hmm..." You Gou looked around, admiring the neon lights illuminating the surrounding scenery, and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Although I've heard about it before, it's truly a magnificent place. Although I'm not familiar with such a place, it's precisely in the unknown that new ideas can slumber."
The writer was particularly interested in this kind of thing, and in order to find inspiration and go out to gather material, she looked at the water park with people coming and going, nodded and said to herself, "Well, since I'm in a place like this, I might as well swim and think for now..." She did not choose to disturb the others. Huihui and Xiaolin were making a fuss, and it would not be good for her to join in the fun. Besides, she herself preferred quiet.
However, she completely underestimated her own charm. The male tourists around her kept looking at her and exclaiming in admiration, "Hey, look over there... isn't that a stunning beauty?! And her figure is outstanding too..."
Indeed, although Yougou was still wearing an eye mask that was somewhat inappropriate for the occasion, and even her swimsuit was a little strange, her large breasts and perfect figure had already made these male tourists flock to her.
The companion, whose shoulder was being pulled, said with a rather witty remark, "It seems like no one's with me... What should we do? Should we go and strike up a conversation?"
"...Looks like this is a dating spot too." Yougou shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Seriously, even though I have a body that's developed to be second to none among the Crimson Demon Clan, it's impossible to concentrate if someone is staring at me with such intense gaze."
She naturally realized she had become the center of attention, and not wanting to cause trouble, or rather, not wanting to be with these boring men, she looked around and muttered, "Let's go somewhere that doesn't seem too crowded..."
"Sister with a beautiful back view, are you alone right now?" Unexpectedly, she was a little late in leaving, and a bold male tourist had already bravely run up to chat her up. Moreover, she could hear many male tourists in the distance secretly regretting their actions and glaring at the person who had approached her.
"...Sigh, is it too late?" You sighed helplessly again.
"You can tell just by looking at her back." The man who approached her said smugly, then shamelessly leaned closer and said, "Sister...you're a real beauty, aren't you? If you'd like, how about we go swimming and sweat it out together...huh?"
"Oh?" After recognizing the male tourist who had approached her, You Gouhui said with slight surprise, "I thought it was someone else. Isn't this Axel's scum, Dust?"
"Wow, that's impressive!?" Duster looked at the woman he had approached with equal surprise, calling out her name while asking with slight astonishment, "Why are you in a place like this!?"
"That's what I wanted to ask." You Gou relaxed and smiled as she explained, "Xiao Lin invited me to come and visit. I've just hit a writing roadblock, so I'm here to find material for my new novel."
"What a coincidence, I was also invited by Kobayashi, but I came with Lynn." Duster casually pointed to his companions singing and dancing on stage, then sighed and said helplessly, "Damn it, I didn't expect to chat up someone I know...!"
I don't know why he was so disappointed. Is there some kind of limit to how many times you can strike up a conversation? Or is he just too ashamed to approach someone he knows? No, considering Darst's personality, the latter is highly unlikely.
"Oh?" You raised an eyebrow and looked at him, saying, "Are you here to hit on me?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Any objections?" Duster's tone was sharp, with a sense of "what's the use of trying" in it. Did he really feel embarrassed and shy because he had struck up a conversation with someone he knew?
“No.” Yougou shook her head and said, “In fact, the way someone moves forward to pursue their ambitions can be quite endearing.” She seemed to admire Duster’s demeanor.
"Really!?" Duster exclaimed with delight and surprise, but quickly added, "...Wait, this girl may have some mental issues, but she's quite beautiful. At a time like this, it wouldn't be a problem if she were really skilled, right...?"
Did you just say something rude?
"No way!" Dust denied vehemently, adding, "Compared to that... I'm pretty good at this. Please! Join me on a summer adventure!"
"Sorry, I don't have time to play." You Gou refused without hesitation. "I already said that, I need to find inspiration and material for my novel."
"Damn it!" Duster knew this would happen, and he screamed miserably, "Can't you at least consider it a little? If this keeps up, I'll be wandering around the water park all by myself until my heart breaks!" But such cries made it seem like he had no choice but to settle for second best when others didn't agree, which was even more infuriating.
Seeing him crying and shouting like that, she felt a slight headache and comforted him, "Hey... there's no need to cry and shout like that."
"It's so noisy!" Duster complained, as if pouring out his grievances. "Can you understand how I feel? It's not like a man to be in a place like this without a woman by my side...!"
"Hmm...so you want to be popular with women, right?"
"Yeah, I want to be popular."
"In that case, to express my apologies, let me give you a suggestion."
"Advice? What is it? The secret to being popular with women?" Duster looked at her expectantly after hearing Yougou say that. Yougou smiled gently, then took a book out of her pocket and handed it to him.
"Good answer. In any case, let's read this book first."
"Huh? Books? Even now, you still want me to study?"
"This is a novel I wrote," Yougou said with considerable pride. "The male protagonist is quite popular among female readers. Try imitating his words and actions, and perhaps... your wish will come true."
"My...wish...?"
"Ah...the most popular man this summer."
"I've taken your words to heart...!" These words completely ignited Duster's desire. He snatched the book from You Gou Hui's hands and hurriedly asked, "Which page!? Which page should we read!?"
"From beginning to end, after all, he's the protagonist."
"Tsk, is all this for the sake of popularity...! Don't rush, if you spend more time here, the future will be even brighter!" Duster shouted excitedly.
“That’s right, that’s right.” Yougou also agreed with him, “If you want to become the most popular man, you have to be willing to work hard.”
“Okay… I will do it!” Duster gripped the book tightly. “What is a book? I’m on the verge of life and death every day! Watch me go all out… Hmm, it’s been so long since I’ve seen so many words, I’m dizzy…” Duster opened the book and saw the densely packed small print. He felt dizzy and hesitated for a moment.
He shrugged, as if disappointed, and said, "Are you going to give up because of this? Are you going to let someone else have the title of most popular man this summer?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Dust shouted, provoked. "How can you give up over something so trivial! I'll read it all, oh oh oh—"
After a long time, Duster finally forced himself to finish the novel, imprinting every word and action of the protagonist into his mind.
"Very good, you've memorized the novel's content, right? Then hurry up and put it into practice."
“I’d like to confirm first, is this protagonist really popular among female readers?” Duster said somewhat uneasily, with a skeptical attitude. “I don’t read much, so I’m not quite getting it.”
"Popularity? It's incredibly popular!" You Gou was quite dissatisfied with his questioning attitude and snorted, "Shortly after the novel was published, we received a lot of letters from female fans!"
"What...!? Fans are writing letters to characters in the novel!? That's incredibly popular...!" Duster was immediately convinced, clenching his fist and saying, "I understand. Anyway, it won't work if we do it the way we used to, so let's just grit our teeth and do it."
"Very impressive." You Gouhui nodded appreciatively and said, "Let's start with the scene in the first chapter where the protagonist is alone by the lake looking up at the moon. But unfortunately, this is not a lake but a resort. Try sitting on the edge of the pool."
"Okay... Anyway, just copy it exactly like this, right?"
"Ah, I'll secretly support you and make you a popular man!" You Gou seemed quite excited, whether she was using Duster as material or a toy, she shoved Duster to sit by the pool. "So... in the novel, the protagonist, with a melancholy expression, gazed intently at the lake and whispered..."
"The water is calm tonight... and the moon in the night sky is clearly visible." Dust groaned at just the right moment in the distance, instantly attracting the attention of many people.
"Isn't this wonderful...?" He then slowly stood up, pointed at the moon, and said...!
"A waning moon... It reminds me of that night. The night I spent slaughtering thousands of enemies, amidst their corpses...!"
"Great! Now it's time for that line!"
"My heart, from that day on... lost something. That's right, just like this moon!"
Duster said this in a very profound tone. Although he was a scoundrel, he was very good-looking, and this action immediately attracted the attention of many women.
"I said, look over there, over there...!"
"Huh...what is that person...!"
They were whispering.
You nodded in satisfaction and whispered encouragingly, "Good...Did you notice, Dust? You're definitely getting the attention of the female guests now! Next is Chapter Two, the scene where the protagonist acknowledges his opponent's strength in battle and invites him to be his travel companion...You can't recreate this scene alone, you finally need someone to talk to...! Right, show that female guest a pained yet joyful expression...Alright, run onto the popular avenue!"
She urged Duster to act, and Duster obediently walked up to a female customer and said in a very deep voice, "Hmph... I didn't expect it to be you. I only realized it when I was put in a life-or-death situation..."
"Hey, what's all this time...!?" The female customer who was being spoken to took a step back in fear, looking quite resistant.
But Duster immediately stepped forward, speaking with profound emotion, almost like a confession: "You must have felt it too, during the battle, our souls resonated countless times…! This is, yes… if we must explain it, it's the karma of our past lives…! The chains of fate that even reincarnation cannot escape!" Then, he reached out to the female guest, his voice rising with fervor, and shouted: "Come! Grab my hand, my ally! And together, let's destroy this blood-stained tyranny—"
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Before he could finish speaking, the female customer in front of him screamed and cried out in terror, pleading for help from others.
"……what?"
Duster was dumbfounded. He had no idea why the female guest in front of him was screaming in terror, looking at him as if she had seen a serial killer.
At this moment, a security guard ran over and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what's wrong, sir?!"
"Suspicious person! Suspicious person!!" The female tourist pointed at Duster and shouted in a panic to the security guard, "This person is acting like a lunatic and keeps getting closer to me... Ahh, this is terrifying!!"
"No, no, this is a misunderstanding! It may seem suspicious, but this is the cool behavior that popular men strive for! Please believe me!"
"Arrest the criminal caught red-handed! From now on, I'll be listening to what you have to say in the office!"
The guards didn't give him a chance to explain, pulling out chains and binding Duster's hands. The arrested Duster immediately cried out in distress, "Aaaaaah! Damn it! Right, you'll understand if you read this novel! I'm absolutely not lying...!"
However, he had no room for explanation.
Looking at Dust who was being arrested, he said somewhat blankly, "I haven't even had time to react before I was taken away... How strange, the protagonist of that novel is clearly very popular among female readers in Scarlet Devil Village..."
