“The start?” Shu tilted her head and mentioned, “Do you imply from once I first met you, Mister John?”
John nodded and mentioned, “There’s nice. Or you can begin with earlier on if you need.” He shifted Aurora in his lap to make her extra comfy earlier than saying, “Once more, that is simply to get to know you higher.”
“Um… Okay.” Shu paused to assume for a bit.
John gave her the time to gather her ideas. In the intervening time, he leaned right down to whisper to Aurora and mentioned, “Now you be quiet, sweetie. Daddy’s working.”
Aurora puffed her cheeks, however she nodded after which leaned again, chewing on her pacifier.
After just a few moments, Shu nodded and mentioned, “Nicely… Um.” She laughed and scratched the again of her head earlier than saying, “I suppose I ought to begin with how I ran away from residence?”
John paused. “…Actually now?”
That may clarify why Shu appeared to have so many odd jobs listed on her resume when she utilized…Shu nodded. “Mmhm. Gramps wished me to cool down and inherit the dojo, however I did not need to so I ran away.” She laughed and mentioned, “It was very easy, too! These outdated farts had been slacking an excessive amount of, so I simply kicked them round for a bit after which ran off.”
John blinked after which mentioned, “I… see.”
Aurora gave John a glance, as if to say ‘these are the individuals you rent?’

“Hm?” Shu blinked after which mentioned, “No. The Black Turtle and Darkish Warrior types each concentrate on cultivating the physique. Like this.” She casually flicked her arm.
The second she did, a pointy ‘swish’ echoed, like a blade slicing via the air.
John ignored the piercing gaze that he felt from Aurora after which nodded. “After all. That is sensible…”
Not!
He knew that folks might get to ridiculous ranges of energy on this world. If that wasn’t doable, Shin Seiryuu and the yakuza would not have such a stranglehold on Japan.
However it was one factor for a loopy sociopathic bastard who spent each waking second of his life coaching to have that stage of energy.
For a younger lady who was simply 17 to have such a educated physique…
…Did somebody from the Three Realms unintentionally fall via a crack right here up to now and drop a cultivation guide?
It was not possible to achieve basis institution on this realm as a result of there wasn’t actually any qi or religious vitality to domesticate, however technically, physique coaching did not want that…
Shu laughed and mentioned, “I feel you have been watching an excessive amount of anime, Mister John.” She shook her head and mentioned, “Power methods… If one thing like that was doable, then that yakuza man would have dominated the world by now, would not he?”
“True.” John nodded and mentioned, “If somebody might do this right here on Earth, no one would be capable of cease them.”
“Proper?” Shu laughed.
John laughed as nicely.
And Aurora gave a pointed look in the direction of her father.
Shu smiled after which grabbed a soda can from the cooler sitting subsequent to the desk in entrance of her. Cracking it open, she mentioned, “Are you able to inform me a bit about your self, Mister John?” She took a sip after which mentioned, “I am nonetheless actually impressed {that a} foreigner can converse Japanese so good!”
“It is converse Japanese ‘nicely’ Shu.” John shifted Aurora to a one-armed maintain after which grabbed a soda for himself. He cracked it open with one hand earlier than taking a sip. “And telling you about me… Mm.”
John mirrored on the very lengthy and colourful life historical past he had for a second earlier than saying, “How about you inform me what you need to know? If we begin from the start for me, we’ll be right here for the following decade.”
Shu’s eyes sparkled and she or he mentioned, “Wow! You’ve got bought that many tales?”
John chuckled and mentioned, “All of the shenanigans I have been as much as since arriving in Japan might in all probability fill a twelve quantity mild novel set by itself. If we embody all every little thing I’ve ever finished…”
He paused to consider it after which mentioned, “…I feel it is likely to be twice the size of One P- I imply, One Chunk.”
“Longer than the pirate manga that is been going for over 25 years?!” Shu gasped and mentioned, “Now I *actually* need to know, Mister John!”
“Oh!” Shu gave a thumbs up and mentioned, “Ask away, Mister John!”
“How’ve you been just lately? Any issues with the streaming or any normal issues?”
Shu blinked after which leaned ahead, resting her chin on her proper fist. “Hm… Probably not? The membership streams have been going nicely.” She laughed and mentioned, “Individuals love superchatting to manage the fight bots within the films we make.”
“Oh yeah. You have been planning to make some traditional martial arts kind films, proper? Did you want some assist with that? Or some stunt extras?”
Shu shook her head and mentioned, “Nope! The bots Mister Titor gave me are tremendous good at that! And so they may even do the superior holographic thingy to appear like actual individuals, so it is nice!”
“I-I see…”
Darn. And right here John was pondering that he might have the possibility to point out off a bit once more. It had been some time since he did some primary martial arts, so it might be enjoyable…
Hm.
Nicely, Fantasy Integrated WAS an leisure firm.
Possibly he ought to simply begin filming some traditional wuxia and xianxia movies?
Wait.
That is a BRILLIANT concept!
John rapidly grabbed his pill after which began furiously writing his concepts down.
Since he was one-handed for the time being as a consequence of holding Aurora, he began writing in Chinese language… nicely, technically the Three Realms model of Chinese language.
Happily, he was used to fast writing as a consequence of that one chuuni part up to now the place he thought it might be enjoyable to make flashy assaults by scribbling Chinese language characters in mid-air.
“M-Mister John?” Shu seemed involved and mentioned, “D-D-Did I say one thing incorrect? W-Why are you writing a lot?”
“Ah.” John completed his notes and mentioned, “Sorry about that. Simply had an amazing concept for a private undertaking.”
“…Actually?” Shu eyed the pill and mentioned, “…It isn’t a report to fireside me or something?”
“Fireplace you?” John frowned and mentioned, “Why would I do this? You are doing an amazing job.”
“Phew!” Shu laughed and mentioned, “Sorry. I used to be simply apprehensive.” She scratched the again of her head and mentioned, “I am a bit clumsy, so it would not be the primary time.”
“Nicely, you needn’t fear about that, Shu.” John set his pill apart and mentioned, “The one purpose I’d hearth you’d be when you went out of your option to expose who your coworkers are out of malice.” He paused and mentioned, “Even then, I might first run some injury management and discuss to you to seek out out why earlier than I hearth you.”
Shu smiled and mentioned, “You are an amazing boss, Mister John!”
“I imply, I’ve nothing to lose, so…”
Shu laughed.
…It wasn’t a joke, however John smiled and went together with it.
Shu stretched and mentioned, “Anyway… is that it, Mister John?” She pulled out her cellphone to test the time and mentioned, “It has been some time now, hasn’t it?”
John tapped on his pill to test the time as nicely and mentioned, “Not that lengthy. We have nonetheless bought over half an hour left… Until you’ve gotten one thing you could head out early to do?”
“Oh! No, no.” Shu checked out Aurora and mentioned, “I simply thought you would possibly need to put Aurora to sleep.”
John shrugged. “It is nice. Aurora in all probability appreciates the time away from her mother anyway.”
“Eh?” Shu frowned and mentioned, “However do not infants like being with their mother?”
“After all. However my beautiful spouse is a bit too affectionate.” John reached right down to poke Aurora’s nostril and mentioned, “Is not that proper, Aurora?”
Aurora wrinkled her nostril after which circled, masking her face together with her hand.
John chuckled after which seemed again at Shu. “Anyway, don’t fret about it. We have nonetheless bought time to speak if you wish to.”
“Ooh!” Shu’s eyes sparkled and she or he mentioned, “Are you able to inform me in regards to the time you dressed up as a girl to save lots of your sister then? Alphy-senpai mentioned it was a extremely attention-grabbing story!”
