"Oh? Yeah, just thinking about something. What's up?"

As Chong Mingde came back to his senses, he lowered his head and saw Uesugi Yuuki.

Hasaki, who had returned home early, had already changed into his loungewear. He wore a white T-shirt and a set of beige long-sleeved pajamas. His clear eyes reflected Chong Mingde's figure as he looked up.

Then Hasaki tilted his head and asked a strange question.

"Brother, are you free to talk now?"

The question itself wasn't strange, but the way it was asked was. If it was a casual question, there was no need for this inquiry, but if it was a serious question to discuss, Hasaki's nonchalant manner was inappropriate.

"Um, I'm all ears, ready to teach whenever."

Chong Mingde squatted down, lowering his line of sight to the same height as Hasaki's. His words were serious, but his attitude was casual, easily blending into Hasaki's peculiar rhythm.

"I have a question..."

Unfortunately, as soon as Hasaki started speaking, their conversation was interrupted by Snow's voice coming from the laundry room.

"Hasaki-chan, there's a hole in your underwear, come and take a look!"

This embarrassing topic was shouted out by Snow like Columbus discovering the New World, instantly throwing Hasaki off balance. His little face turned red in an instant, and he turned around and hurriedly ran away.

"..."

Chong Mingde, who was still squatting down, hadn't caught up with this sudden change and remained in place, feeling a bit awkward.

Although it shouldn't be a big deal, doubts remained.

Chong Mingde couldn't guess what Uesugi Yuuki wanted to say to him, but he was clear that Uesugi Yuuki would come to him again. Therefore, his current mood was complicated.

After returning to his room, considering that Hasaki might come to him again at any time, Chong Mingde didn't have much to do.

He took a keychain out of the drawer and played with it in his hand.

This black plastic keychain was nothing special, with just an ordinary key attached to it.

But this key, when "Ziongzong" was still controlling this body, was taken back from Mr. Ou during overseas training. (Third Judgment: Like a boyfriend, not a girlfriend)

Yes, it was "taken back," not obtained.

"Ziongzong" didn't have any memory related to it, so he didn't know, but Chong Mingde understood that he had entrusted Mr. Ou to keep this keychain.

What was important was not the keychain, but the key itself.

At this stage, although he didn't need the item related to this keychain, Chong Mingde had to consider the issue of weapon equipment for the future development.

The nine-section whip was good, but it was still with Ito Kamirin, and Chong Mingde didn't have the ability or environment to create another one.

- Take the time to get it in the next two days.

Chong Mingde stared at the keychain in his hand and made a decision.

At this moment, there was a knocking sound at the door.

"Brother, are you busy?"

Hasaki obediently stood by the door.

"No, come in."

Chong Mingde hadn't closed the door, he got up from the chair and sat on the edge of the bed, while Hasaki sat on her familiar cushion as if she knew the way around.

"Is it the question you wanted to ask just now?"

"Yeah, I hesitated for a long time, but I finally figured out I can ask it in these two days."

As Uesugi Yuuki looked normal, Chong Mingde didn't expect her to ask anything important, so he just waited for her question in a normal state.

Then, Uesugi Yuuki, in a natural posture and indifferent tone, asked a question that exceeded Chong Mingde's expectations.

"Big brother, who are you?"

Uesugi Yuuki stared straight at Chong Mingde, without even a slight shift in her gaze. Before Chong Mingde could react or answer, she asked another question.

"Big brother, where did you hide Ziongzong?"
