"Brother, didn't you promise me you wouldn't use violence anymore?"
At this moment, a clear, crisp voice came from Gian's side. Upon hearing it, Gian's originally fearsome face softened, becoming as gentle as a big brother next door.
"Sorry, sorry, it was Brother's fault. Brother promises you, I definitely won't use violence in front of you again, Lily, you can relax."
Gian's ability to change his expression was as impressive as Nobita's tear-powered magic tricks.
Sneech, watching from the side, almost popped his eyes out.
Now that he thought about it, it seemed that Gian had never been this gentle to anyone except his own sister.
Just then, the door was opened from inside the house. Gian was about to keep his smile and greet the 'Lin Feng' who should theoretically be there. However, what entered his field of vision was a beautiful girl with short, wine-red hair.
"Hello…! Who are you looking for?"
Before Miyako came to open the door, she thought it was Shizuka.
When she opened the door, however, she found a burly boy with somewhat dark skin standing at the door, whom she didn't recognize.
Even though it wasn't Shizuka, Miyako still maintained her politeness and smiled as she spoke to the person at the door.
"Lin... uh, you, hello...!"
When he saw that the person who opened the door wasn't Lin Feng, but a strange, pretty girl, the smile on Gian's face instantly froze.
His face flushed, turning red beneath his dark skin.
Gian, who always had a straightforward personality, was now a little nervous and stammering.
"Sneech!"
Those two words seemed to be squeezed from Gian's teeth.
Whenever Gian spoke in that tone, it usually meant some poor sap was about to get it.
"N-no, it's not my fault...! As far as I know, Lin Feng really does live here...!"
Hearing Gian's chilling voice, Sneech was scared out of his wits.
He seemed to recall the pain of Gian's iron fist slamming into him. The force of a bag of rice made Sneech feel endless panic and despair.
But Gian wasn't listening to anything else. He only knew that Sneech, that annoying guy, had messed with him again and made him look bad in front of such a pretty girl. It was too much!
This time, he had to catch Sneech and give him a good beating!
"Lin Feng? You're looking for Lin Feng?"
After hearing Lin Feng's name from Sneech, Miyako asked with a curious tone.
"A-are...?"
At this moment, Gian had already grabbed Sneech by the collar with one hand, lifting him up entirely. He was about to clench his other hand into a fist and smash it down when he suddenly heard Miyako's words.
That sandbag-sized fist also stopped, quite coincidentally, in mid-air, only 0.01 centimeters away from Sneech's nose bridge.
"Gulp~"
A few beads of cold sweat slid down Sneech's temples, and he swallowed with some difficulty.
If Miyako's words had been even a fraction of a second later, Sneech's beak might have been flattened by that ferocious punch.
"What's wrong, Miyako? Isn't Shizuka outside...?"
Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and walked out of the house.
The noise outside had been quite loud, and everything had happened so fast.
From Gian knocking on the door, to Miyako opening it, to Gian realizing he'd been tricked by Sneech and grabbing him, it all happened in a matter of seconds.
So when Lin Feng reached the door, he saw Gian holding Sneech, his fist stopped right in front of Sneech's face.
"Gian, Sneech, what are you...?"
"Oh, oh... It's nothing, nothing at all!"
"Hahaha... Sneech, you really are careless. You almost fell just now, but thankfully I was there."
"Yeah, since we're such good friends, you don't need to thank me. Just remember to be more careful next time!"
Seeing Lin Feng and Miyako standing together at the door, both of them staring at him with odd expressions.
Gian also had a sudden flash of inspiration and forced Sneech to act out a rather awkward scene with him.
The two's clumsy acting left Miyako, who had been watching them the whole time, a little stunned.
"So that's how it is. So, why are you two here looking for me? Is there something important?"
Even without seeing what had happened earlier, Lin Feng could guess that things definitely weren't as simple as Gian made them out to be.
However, compared to those meaningless things, Lin Feng was more interested in knowing what Gian and Sneech were here for at this moment.
Logically, the Wind Messenger Movie Adventure had just ended, and everyone should be resting at home, waiting for the school holidays to end.
"Well, it's not really a big deal...!"
"This is a small gift, please accept it."
Gian said with a smile, handing a gift box to Lin Feng.
"Before that, Lin Feng, let me introduce someone. This is my sister, her name is Lily, and she's a huge fan of yours."
While he was speaking, Gian pushed a girl who had been hiding behind him forward, then introduced her to Lin Feng with a smile.
"Lily, this is Lin Feng. He's my classmate, and he's the original author of Demon Slayer, the incredibly popular manga I told you about!"
When speaking to his sister, Gian returned to the gentle image of a big brother next door.
This scene almost made Sneech, who had just narrowly avoided a beating, nearly twist his nose in anger.
Damn Gian, favoring his sister over his friends!
"You... hello, my name is Lily. Please, please take care of me."
The girl who stepped out from behind Gian seemed a little shy. Her hands were clasped in front of her, and she didn't dare to meet Lin Feng's gaze.
Somewhat unexpectedly, this girl named Lily seemed to have a completely opposite personality to Gian.
Even though they came from the same mother, Gian, as the older brother, had a short temper and was prone to mood swings, yet he valued friendship.
Lily, as the younger sister, was prone to sentimentality. She would become very dejected and lost at the slightest setback, almost the complete opposite of her brother.
Gian was sometimes overly self-confident, always believing he could do anything, that he could accomplish anything.
Lily, on the other hand, was overly lacking in confidence, always believing she couldn't do anything, that she couldn't accomplish anything.
