Chapter 47: The Stalemate of Two Useless People

  Hello everyone, recently due to increasingly busy work and more things to do, daily updates have not been possible. However, the author promises that at the latest, it will be completed by 2015. Those who can't wait can collect and nurture it first, that's all~~

  …………………………

  When Keiichi Maebara appeared near his home with a pale face as if he was about to die, the night had already fallen for a long time. As for why Keiichi didn't take public transportation such as buses or taxis back home, haha, could you expect someone who only wore a hospital gown and ran out of the hospital to have a wallet on him?

  And when he suddenly remembered something on the bus that was speeding by, everything was already too late. At that time, the journey home had almost been completed halfway, and it was difficult to choose between advancing and retreating; even walking back to the hospital to pick up his wallet would have taken him further away from home.

  And he ran out of the hospital on his own, making such a big commotion. The medical expenses and all that, the hospital staff would naturally deduct it directly from the wallet he left behind. Judging from the poor thickness of the wallet, even if he went back to the hospital again, it's estimated that he would still be 'Yang Bailao'.

  "What a mistake! What a mistake!"

  After recalling his own mistakes, in the remaining journey, Jie Lü Chu Yi stared with dead fish eyes and muttered this sentence, matching the hospital gown he was wearing, and making a running pose but advancing at a strolling speed, causing passersby to avoid him, thinking that some mental patient from a psychiatric hospital had started playing hide-and-seek with his doctor again.

  It's okay, the old and broken small building that has appeared in front of him brought the last hope to Jiaolü Chūyì. He felt that he was about to regain the powerful strength given by the great universe god Sīmìdá, as his physical fatigue decreased. At this moment, he felt that he had been possessed by the golden sun who could shoot down planes with a handgun, and his body was filled with positive energy! Who can stop him from saving his beloved figurine collection? Nobody!

  Although he was still moving at a snail's pace in the 3D world, in his own imagined 2D world, he had already surpassed the speed of light and appeared before Kamijou Touma and others with an aura that made them bow their heads. A single yawn sent these pests who were trying to harm his figurine collection flying away into the sky with a scream.

  At the moment when YY was indulging in his journey, he suddenly felt that something was blocking him. Coming back to himself and taking a closer look, it turned out that while he was still in his reverie, his body had followed its long-standing habit and returned to the entrance of his own little nest.

  She rolled her eyes, and quietly cursed herself for being distracted at such a critical moment. She then reached into the small hidden hole above the door and pulled out a spare key to unlock it. As she inserted the spare key into the lock, Intrepid Arrow's heart was praying: Please don't let those damned jinxes be in my room!

  As I opened the door, my heart, which had been hanging around my chest, finally returned to its original position. I didn't think that even I, who had recently become a bit of a slacker, wouldn't completely slack off at home either? As long as this house full of authentic Japanese figurines, collector's edition anime CDs and DCDs, all earned through hard work (and taking from the wicked), are still here, even if my intestines were to break apart, it would be worth it.

  Kaito was just about to close the door and temporarily change jobs to Imperial Handgun Cavalry to celebrate when the un closed door creaked open, a familiar porcupine head appeared in front of Kaito at the most unexpected time.

  "Hey, you're a jinx! What are you doing here? Can't you see the sign on the door that says 'No Upperclassmen or Dogs Allowed'?! Intrepid Traveler was extremely sensitive to Upperclassman Doma's intrusion into his territory and immediately jumped up to block the doorway, trying to drive him out."

  "This sign has never been hung here! No! This insulting sign should not have existed in this world since the day God created it, you bastard!"

  Kamijou Touma was originally lying in Komoe-sensei's house, and just as he woke up from his coma, he heard a commotion coming from the room next door of Tsuchimikado Motomi. Driven by curiosity and hunger (the latter being more important), he carefully avoided Index who was sleeping soundly on his bed, planning to go greet that strange chuunibyou patient and scrounge up something to eat. After all, he had been unconscious for so many days before just waking up, and his empty stomach was really unbearable. Who knew that as soon as he pushed open the door, with a friendly smile still on his face and before he could even speak, he would be met with Tsuchimikado Motomi's merciless attack.

  "Cut, ignorant human, we have already drawn the sacred will on the door with spiritual power, and anyone with an IQ of three or above can see it! It's only natural that you, a low-quality insect, can't see it!" Jie Lü Chu Yi said effortlessly, speaking of non-existent things as if they were true.

  "Too much, it's really too much! How dare you insult Mr. Kamijou like that! I'll eat all the emergency rations in your room today, betting on my family's honor!" Under his anger and frustration, Kamijou Touma accidentally revealed his true intentions. Moreover, during those days when he was in contact with Hyodo Kazakiri, a chuuni-byo (a Japanese slang term for someone who has an inflated sense of self-importance), he unknowingly caught some of that chuuni atmosphere. Should the author be ridiculed for how strong the infectious power of chuuni-byo is?

  "Get out! Ever since you and that big stomach devil invaded my territory, only heaven knows how much of the snacks I had painstakingly accumulated were eaten away. Even the little Strong in the cupboard was starved to death by you guys. From now on, I absolutely won't let you set foot in my territory again, continuing to wreak havoc on the last bit of dry rations I have left."

  Kazari Utsurigi heard that Kamijou Touma was coming to mooch off him, and he became even more determined to kick this pest out of his house. After all, Kazari's money was spent mostly on 2D collectibles and food, but ever since Kamijou Touma and Index moved in, the stockpile of dry goods that could have supported him for a year of being a shut-in had been depleted!

  Of course, the key point is that they didn't pay! How can this be?! Even Ushiro no Tora's Kamado Tanji, who claims to be poor and unlucky, has a steady income every month without having to work. I'm someone who supports myself through hard work, enduring the pain of giving up time for anime and games to labor diligently! My precious blood-earned money can't withstand their wastefulness!

  And so, the exhausted Kaito Minami and the starving Ushio Shinomiya, two useless people who couldn't do anything to each other, just stood there stuck in the doorway, glaring at each other with eyes that sparkled like fireworks.
