Chapter 2: Dàgē and Xiaomèi Leave the House—translated by Michimochi (proofread by Faren; C/E edited by lucathia)

For the next couple of days, if I wasn't in the courtyard house abusing... I mean, training the Ice Spears, then I was in my room doing my own things. That was until the third day, when Shujun knocked on my door saying that she and Dàgē were heading out.

I hastily stepped out of the room. I was in the middle of trying on a recently finished uniform.

Shujun looked at my uniform. She wrinkled her brow. "Èrgē, your uniform doesn't look that nice."

For the top, I wore a sleeve-less jacket and oversized longline shirt. It looked as if there were two layers, but it was actually fake. And of course, I wore a pair of pants. Arguably, leggings would have looked better with this outfit, but I wore a simple pair of pants. Don't even mention shoes. I flat out wore a pair of silver white flip-flops.

Not bothering to explain myself much, I said, "Being too stylish is troublesome. My clothes are not important. Is Dàgē's uniform finished?"

Shujun nodded. "Dàgē already put it on and is getting ready to leave. He told me to let you know and to drag you out of your room."

I rubbed my nose. I would go take a look at the courtyard house every day. I'm not that much of a shut in, okay? I mean, I would go out to give a lecture on each day's training before returning to my room.

Obediently, I followed Shujun out. People were already waiting in the hall.

My eyes lit up just at the sight of Dàgē. A newly-made solid black trench coat with golden trim hung from his body. The golden trim of the collar even formed the shape of the "弓" character, like a bow from the left side of our name Jiang (疆). A leather holster rested on his waist. The long army boots that I had brought home were fastened on his feet. He was as fierce as a lion, impossible to overlook. One look could make every single strand of your hair stand straight.

Standing next to Dàgē were Xiao Sha, Yunqian, and Guan Weijun. All three were wearing their uniforms as well. I had really put Shujun in a tight spot. Within two days, she had quickly managed to finish making so many sets of clothes.

The three wore black uniforms with silver trim. Xiao Sha wore a sleeveless top and men's leggings, perfect for mobility. Yunqian wore a short-sleeved top and a pair of shorts. Guan Weijun wore a top with elbow length sleeves and crop pants. No matter if it was golden trim or silver trim, there was a streak of blue somewhere on all the clothing.

I glanced back at Junjun. The same shade of blue was on her pleated skirt as well.

Does Junjun like blue now? But she used to like pink more. My little sister has grown up now... Well, this is fine. If there was a streak of pink on every uniform and Dàgē had to wear it, I would probably want to gouge my eyes out.

Besides those four people, Ding Jun also stood right behind Dàgē. Although he wasn't wearing a uniform, Ding Jun carried a backpack on his back, so he was probably going with them.

I didn't recognize any of the others. They were all wearing military uniforms. They were probably from the group of soldiers that Ah Nuo had brought with him. There are actually more than fifteen of them.

Looking at that crowd, I couldn't help but ask, "Dàgē, where are you going with this many people? Their abilities are not that strong, right? You're going to attract a ton of aberrants if you start firing guns in Lan City."
