Slipping into the restroom, Kobayashi Itsuki was also glad that the Tamayomi clan's club was quite high-class, with restrooms in the rooms.
Closing the door, Kobayashi Itsuki washed his hands, then silently chanted in his mind.
'Open two White Treasure Chests.'
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining Silk Stocking Milk Tea *1.]
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining Baseball Bat *1.]
Baseball Bat?
Hmm, useful.
'Open two green treasure chests.'
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining Pinhole Camera *1.]
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining Mini Drone *1.]
Hmm, two more things that aren't very useful.
Next was the blue treasure chest he was most looking forward to.
'Open one blue treasure chest.'
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining physics holy sword.]
?!
A good item appeared!
The moment he heard the name, Kobayashi Itsuki's mind instinctively felt a surge of excitement.
But after a moment, he suddenly came back to his senses.
physics holy sword?
Isn't that a crowbar?
Looking at the system list, sure enough, a crowbar lay there quietly.
This was an ordinary-looking hexagonal crowbar, with no discernible differences from its appearance, seemingly without any special features.
Kobayashi Itsuki clicked on the description and read it carefully.
[physics holy sword]
[Attribute: Never breaks.]
The system's introduction was short, just a single line.
But this attribute made Kobayashi Itsuki stunned.
"Never breaks?"
"Then doesn't that mean this thing is invincible?"
Kobayashi Itsuki summoned the crowbar with some surprise and subconsciously swung it.
If that were the case, then this thing would be ridiculously strong.
No wonder in his previous life, it was so powerful, capable of beating people to death even when they were wearing future mechs.
"But for me right now, it doesn't seem to be of much use."
He shook his head and put the crowbar back.
There was one blue treasure chest left.
"Open a blue treasure chest."
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received 1-carat Diamond Ring * 1.]
Alright.
Seeing this system prompt, Kobayashi Itsuki decisively put the item away.
This one was even more of a heavyweight, completely useless.
What did he need this thing for?
To propose to Higashimatsuyama Yone here?
Coming out of the restroom, Kobayashi Itsuki looked at Higashimatsuyama Yone and said,
"Let's go. We can't just sit here and wait for death."
If they could escape, that would be best. If not, then she shouldn't blame him for taking the potion.
"Mhm! I'll go first later…"
Higashimatsuyama Yone nodded, speaking seriously.
But Kobayashi Itsuki grabbed her wrist and interrupted her directly.
"Yone, you're off duty now, you're not a police officer."
Kobayashi Itsuki smiled and pulled her behind him, "If I were still standing behind you at a time like this, that would be too unreasonable."
"But I've been trained after all…"
Under normal circumstances,
Higashimatsuyama Yone was not wrong; it would definitely be best for someone professionally trained to go first.
But now it was different. Kobayashi Itsuki was ready to take the potion at any time.
Once they encountered any danger, he could activate the Elixir of Iron's effect immediately to protect both of them.
If Higashimatsuyama Yone was in front, it would be hard to say.
"It's fine, trust me."
"I won't do anything reckless."
Looking at the calm smile on Kobayashi Itsuki's face, Higashimatsuyama Yone didn't know why a strange trust welled up in her heart.
"I understand."
Higashimatsuyama Yone no longer insisted on arguing, indicating that she understood.
Kobayashi Itsuki opened the door, and he and Higashimatsuyama Yone exited the private room one after the other.
Immediately after leaving the private room, the two suddenly heard footsteps approaching them.
Kobayashi Itsuki and Higashimatsuyama Yone exchanged glances, then turned around without a word and quickly walked in the opposite direction.
They had tried their best to lighten their footsteps, but they were still clearly audible in the somewhat quiet corridor.
Hearing their movements, the people behind them clearly noticed and then quickened their pace, chasing after them.
"Those two guys escaped!"
"Catch them!"
Kobayashi Itsuki pulled Higashimatsuyama Yone and shouted, "Hurry!"
The layout of this club was like a maze, winding and very complex.
Fortunately, Higashimatsuyama Yone had a slight impression of it in her mind, and the two ran wildly through the corridor.
However, they hadn't run for long before the corridor in front of them was blocked.
Two tall security guards blocked their path.
Seeing the two people in front of him, Kobayashi Itsuki's steps paused slightly.
Higashimatsuyama Yone saw this and said, "I'll hold them off, you two hurry and escape…"
As she spoke, she rushed out.
Higashimatsuyama Yone, although her marksmanship was terrible, practically tracing outlines of people.
However, her close-quarters combat ability was quite good.
After all, she had undergone professional training, so she did have some skills.
Her long legs, encased in athletic pants, swept out a blur in mid-air, heading towards one of the burly men.
But just then, the footsteps that had been relentlessly pursuing them finally caught up.
"Gentlemen, is our hospitality so poor that you are in such a hurry to leave?"
A somewhat aged voice suddenly rang out.
Higashimatsuyama Yone's attack was forcibly blocked by the opponent, who then forced her back.
At the same time, a short figure dressed in an orange kimono slowly walked over.
Upon hearing this, Satake and Majo, who were closely pursuing, immediately moved to the sides, clearing a path in the middle.
This was an old woman with neatly combed hair and a smiling expression on her face, looking quite amiable.
Kobayashi Itsuki, who had read the original novel, remembered that this old woman was the leader of the Tamayomi clan.
The number of burly security guards in front had increased by several people.
The people of the Tamayomi clan filled the front and back of the corridor, making it impenetrable.
Forced back, Higashimatsuyama Yone glared at the crowd in front of her and angrily rebuked, "What exactly do you want to do?!"
"This has nothing to do with him. If you have something, come at me."
"What a touching young couple. Looking at you two makes me nostalgic for my own youth."
The old woman in the kimono spoke unhurriedly with a cheerful smile, showing no hostility on her face.
She was like a kind old grandmother from next door.
"You…"
Higashimatsuyama Yone wanted to say something more, but Kobayashi Itsuki held her back.
"Madam, won't you introduce yourself?"
Kobayashi Itsuki's expression was calm and composed, just like the old woman opposite him.
It was as if the one surrounded was not him, but the other side.
"I apologize, young man, that was a bit rude."
"My name is Tamaoh Nakamure, and I am the proprietress of this club."
Tamaoh Nakamure said politely, "It's truly not easy to have invited the two of you here today. There are just a few matters I need to settle with you both."
