Zongman: Hong Kong's black ceiling but autistic, what should I do?

A new episode of [Re:Zero - Starting City Survival Challenge] has started recording. In addition to Fukuzawa Sakura and Asahina Fudou, other guests are the senior and junior group of Kurosaki Ranmaru + Ichinose Tokiya, the best partner group of Hinata Tatsuya + Tsukimiya Ringo, and the song group of Nakamura Oto + composer.

My goodness, you didn’t tell me this was a game for acquaintances before coming here.

Fukuzawa Sakura was sweating coldly and kept hiding behind Asahina Fudou.

In the distance, Kurosaki Ranmaru's murderous gaze was about to materialize.

Asahina Fudou noticed the bad atmosphere between Fukuzawa Sakura and Kurosaki Ranmaru and asked:

"Do you know Kurosaki-senpai?"

"Um... should I say I know him, or I don't know him~"

Fukuzawa Sakura looked away guiltily. After all, it was Fukuzawa Sakura who knew Kurosaki Ranmaru. Fukuzawa Sakura's account was forcibly cancelled by Dazai Osamu. He is now Mori Yuki. Before this, the progress of Mori Yuki's account was still at the point where she was picked up by Yosano Akiko and brought back to the detective agency. So theoretically, Mori Yuki did not know Kurosaki Ranmaru, whom he later met at Saotome Gakuen.

But who can blame Fukuzawa Sakura and Mori Xue?

Fortunately, the program has already started recording. In front of the camera, Kurosaki Ranmaru resisted the urge to question Fukuzawa Sakura and listened to the rules of the game honestly.

"First of all, welcome everyone to participate in our [City Survival Challenge from Zero] sponsored by XXX and Saotome Agency. In this [City Survival Challenge from Zero], eight guests will be divided into four groups, and challenge to live in the city for seven days with zero funds. After seven days, the group with the most funds will be able to receive our most exciting and highly anticipated surprise gift package! The person who contributes the most in the group will have priority to choose the surprise gift package! So whether it is between groups or within groups, everyone should roll up!!!"

At the beginning of the game, everyone adhered to the principle of developing slowly and not recklessly, and tried their best to separate themselves from the areas where other groups were active, so the four groups moved towards the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest of the city respectively.

Sakura Fukuzawa stood behind Fudou Asahina, and watched leisurely as Fudou Asahina was persuaded to leave the 39th store that was hiring part-time workers.

"Sorry, we don't recruit minors!"

"Wait! He's already an adult!"

Asahina Fudou pointed at Fukuzawa Sakura.

The shop owner glanced up and down at Fukuzawa Sakura, rolled his eyes, and closed the door.

"You must be kidding! He looks younger than you!"

"Ugh--"

Asahina Fudou sighed, squatted on the steps, and looked melancholy.

"Foudou, he said I'm younger than you look! Am I really that young? Hehehe..."

Fukuzawa Sakura covered her face shyly.

Asahina Fudou rolled his eyes and cursed:

"How dare you say that! If you didn't have such a handsome face and were not so small, how could we not have found a job all morning!"

"But I look younger than you, doesn't that mean you look older? Fudou, you should make sure you get enough rest~"

"Huh? I'm warning you, don't...don't talk nonsense!"

Asahina Fudou clenched his fists, glanced at the photography team following him, and resisted the urge to beat Fukuzawa Sakura. He just waved his fist in front of Fukuzawa Sakura as a threat.

“Slightly…”

Fukuzawa Sakura made a face at Asahina Fudou, and just when Asahina Fudou was about to lose control of his anger and beat up his teammates in front of the camera -

“Gu~Gu——”

"Foudou, your stomach is growling~"

"Long-winded!"

"Fudou, I want an ice cream cone!"

Fukuzawa Sakura pointed to a cart selling ice cream cones not far away.

"We don't have a penny right now. Food and lodging are still a problem today. How can we afford to buy ice cream cones?"

"Hmm——" Fukuzawa Sakura lowered her head.

Asahina Fudou turned around and saw Fukuzawa Sakura's depressed look. He scratched his head irritably and said:

"Tsk, let's go and make some quick money to fill our stomachs!"

"Quick money?"

What Asahina Fudou meant by quick money was street performances in crowded squares in exchange for tips from passers-by.

For popular idol Fudou Asahina, street performance is easy, although it is a bit physically demanding.

"Hoo-hoo-thank you everyone~"

Asahina Fudou finished a dance and walked breathlessly towards Fukuzawa Sakura who was counting money.

"How is it? How many are there now?"

"157...166, now it's 166! I just asked and the cheapest hotel is 100 a night. Do we have money to buy food now?!"

Feeling Fukuzawa Sakura's excited eyes, Asahina Fuuto seriously refused.

"No! We'll each have a bowl of rice soaked in tea as dinner. If we want to win the game, we can't spend extra money!"

"Eh - no - even if you don't want to eat the ice cream cone, can't you eat something delicious?"

"No! For the next six days, our three meals a day will only be the cheapest rice in tea, not a penny more!"

"No! Are you the White Tiger (Nakajima Atsushi)? You eat ochazuke every day! Even if it's cheap food, there are foods that are not ochazuke!"

"I just love to eat chazuke! Is that not okay?! I earn all the money! I get to decide how to spend it! And I've already made an agreement with the chazuke store owner that if we eat there for the next seven days, they'll give us a discount! And we can save a lot of money!"

"...I didn't expect you to be such a good housekeeper, Fuuto."

"That's because I'm the only one making money in this family!"

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do. It's because I don't have any special skills."

In Fukuzawa Sakura's eyes, specialty refers to a person's particularly outstanding strengths. In the case of the hexagonal all-round warrior Fukuzawa Sakura, although sports, composing, and singing are top-notch in the eyes of others, in Fukuzawa Sakura's eyes, they are all at the same level, so there is no outstanding aspect. If you have to say a specialty, perhaps it is killing?

The sweat on Fudou Asahina's face dripped down his cheeks to the ground. Although the camera lens captured the sunny image of a handsome boy sweating profusely after exercise, for Fukuzawa Sakura, who was close to the sunny boy himself, she only felt that the smell of Fudou Asahina's sweat was very unpleasant.

But after all, he is the one who earns money to support the family, so it’s not nice to dislike him in front of the camera.

Fukuzawa Sakura slowly moved herself away, trying to stay away from Asahina Fudou so that she would not smell the sweat.

Unfortunately, he was discovered by Asahina Fuuto.

"what are you doing?"

"cough cough..."

Fukuzawa Sakura immediately strode away from Asahina Fuuto, leaving a gap in the ground, and pretended to be distressed and said:

"Look at you dancing so hard, you're all sweaty. Let me give you a seat to sit down and rest for a while~"

Although Asahina Fuuto was surprised that Fukuzawa Sakura would be so nice to him, he had not eaten at noon and had done intense exercise in the afternoon, which made Asahina Fuuto physically exhausted. So he nodded and sat in the seat given up by Fukuzawa Sakura.

Fukuzawa Sakura and Asahina Fudou sat on the ground, enjoying the breeze, watching the pedestrians coming and going and the performances of other artists around them. Everything was so harmonious in the camera, except that there was a distance of five meters between the two protagonists in front of the camera.

"Do you think we are sitting..."

"Foudou!"

Fukuzawa Sakura interrupted Asahina Fudou.

"I've thought of a great way to make money after you can't dance anymore!"

"What is it?"

"Do you see the white tablecloth next to the sister selling ice jelly over there?"

"I won't give you money to buy ice powder~"

"Ahem...I was talking about the white tablecloth! I don't really want to eat ice jelly!"

Asahina Fudou looked at Fukuzawa Sakura with a squint, not believing any of her nonsense.

"and then?"

"If you can't dance anymore, just lie down on the ground and rest for a while. But the ground is cold, I'll borrow a white tablecloth to cover you~"

“What does this have to do with making money?”

"Hehe~"

Asahina Fudou suddenly felt a bad premonition from Fukuzawa Sakura's smile, and Fukuzawa Sakura's next words confirmed Asahina Fudou's premonition.

"When the time comes, you lie on the ground with your eyes closed, and I will kneel beside you, crying and kowtowing. I am so handsome, there will be many people who will look at me with pity, and someone will definitely give me money! Ah! Fengdou, you hit me! I will tell Brother Guang when I get back!"

Fukuzawa Sakura covered her head in pain after being hit hard.

"How dare you say that! Except for Brother Guang, anyone else who hears your idea will think that I was right to beat you up!"

"Really? I'm helping you make money~"

"You can't let me pretend to be dead!"

"Don't you want to act? Many famous actors started out as corpses~ Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I won't say anything, don't hit me anymore! If you don't want to pretend to be dead, I can do it, and you can cry and kowtow beside me - hey, hey, okay, I really won't say anything! I'm shutting up!"

Fukuzawa Sakura made a zipper-like motion on her mouth.

"Humph!"

Asahina Fuuto glanced at the photographer who was trying to hold back his laughter behind the camera, and kept comforting himself in his heart.

[We are recording a show, we can’t be too violent, we can’t beat him to death, it will be troublesome when we get home! Phew——]

Fukuzawa Sakura also looked at the camera and whispered:

"If you are worried about the social impact, we can spend money to buy a small note. When they give us money, we will give them the small note as a token of love and blessing. When they go back and open the small note, they will see the reminder [Beware of begging fraud] inside. This can also serve as an anti-fraud propaganda. How do you think~"

"..."

Asahina Fuuto... Asahina Fuuto doesn't want to say anything anymore.

"You are such a smartass!"

Asahina Fuuto rolled his eyes, then propped himself up and continued to perform.

Earning money to support the family and taking care of his brother who seems to have some mental problems, the burden on Asahina Fudou's shoulders has increased again~

"Hey, I also know that I'm smart~"

Hearing Asahina Fuuto's praise, Fukuzawa Sakura sat aside and laughed foolishly.
