I Found A Planet Chapter 408 – Tsundere

They had graduated.

Two years of high school life had come to a small finale.

For Li Dong, he felt that his high school experience had been as good as some excellent campus-themed anime.

There had been no need to learn at all, as the system would automatically provide the answers during the exams; there had been many cute girls his surroundings; and there had also been basketball games and other hot-blooded sporting events.

It had been a very exciting time.

All the desires that he had longed for had been realized.

Perfect, satisfied… This was within Li Dong’s frame of mind.

Although countless prestigious universities have offered him placements after graduating from high school, Li Dong would not proceed to experience so-called “college life.” His main focus would be placed in the reformation and governance of Eastern Jupiter and in striving towards becoming an excellent master of civilization.

But before that, in addition to Denen Satoshi, he recruited another secretary-assistant for himself… He now had two aides by his side. The newly added one was his personal advisor, Nanjo Masaharu, whom he had recruited six months ago. She had switched into the role of an assistant.

Actually, during that time when high school was about to end, the relationship between Li Dong and Nanjo Masaharu became somewhat complicated. After all, their employer-employee relationship had been going on for half a year. In private, they held many meetings, discussions, and exchanges of ideas… They were very close to one another.

There is a saying that goes, “familiarity breeds fondness.” When one knows someone for a long time, they develop certain emotions. That feeling might be friendship—or, perhaps, love.

Regarding Nanjo Masaharu, who had a cold ladylike character, it was difficult for ordinary boys to enter her world. Li Dong, on the other hand, had a gentle, courteous, approachable demeanor, and would occasionally reveal his funny and whimsical side. The way he represented himself was very sincere. If one got along with him for a long time, they would discover more of his positive trait; for example, he was very intelligent, and rough, yet refined. Over time, one would become deeply attracted to him and gradually fancy the idea of staying by his side.

Nanjo Masaharu was no exception. After they got along for half a years’ time, that particular person was gradually engraved in her heart and made her somewhat confused on the inside, especially during the time when high school was approaching its end. Nanjo Masaharu, who had totally no idea about what aspiration Li Dong had, and where would he go, was plunged into anxiety and disarray: where would Touki go in the future?

She had asked Li Dong about his plans moving forward, but Li Dong always gave her a very vague answer. She couldn’t get through to his mind at all. The only thing that was likely to happen was them having to separate. It might be difficult for them to meet each other again in the future.

The time loomed nearer.

Two days before the college entrance examinations.

Nanjo Masaharu, who could hold back her inner vexations no longer, made a phone call, asked Li Dong out to a place, and inquired about the topic she wanted to know about the most:

“Stop going around in circles with me. What exactly are your plans after the exam?”

Nanjo Masaharu glared at him. She was feeling very annoyed. The man in front of her did not take the initiative to tell her the answer to this question, and she had to ask him herself.

“Oh?”

Li Dong was a little surprised. Facing the girl with long, dark, straight hair, he said, “Nanjo, are you concerned about my future? Could it be… you want to stay by my side and continue to be my advisor?”

“Don’t be so full of yourself!”

Nanjo Masaharu’s cheeks became slightly red, and inside she was going crazy. “I don’t care about where you’ll go. I just can’t stand that arrogant attitude of yours! If you think of me as a friend, you should honestly tell me about your plan, and not tease me like this.”

As she spoke, tears of aggrievance dripped down from the corner of her eyes. With a whimpering voice, she said, “In the end, I, as your friend, have no place in your heart! You only just think about your own things, you… selfish jerk!”

Nanjo Masaharu did not understand why she was so infuriated. Perhaps it was because she had wanted to vent her repressed feelings for a period of time, and then, in the end, had been teased by this man… At that moment, her sad and depressed feelings gushed out from her heart. She turned away and was about to leave the selfish man.

“Wait!”

Li Dong stopped her, standing up. “Actually, I’ve been waiting for you to ask me this question. I was thinking that, as long as you asked, I would tell you my plans. Do you want to hear them?”

Nanjo Masaharu clenched her fist.

Her self-esteem severely hurt, she said with a shaky voice, “You cunning bastard, I don’t wish to see you ever again.”

Upon finishing, she dashed out.

“Masaharu!”

Li Dong ran out and quickly caught up with her. He grabbed her wrist, stopped her struggling, dragged her to a corner with no people, and intoned the word “teleport.” A white light shone, and the two reappeared in the Tallest Tower.

It took about two hours.

Nanjo Masaharu finally got over her shock and had to believe that Li Dong was the supreme ruler of the planet.

She whispered, “I never expected you to be the God in the highest.”

Li Dong said, “That was actually a test I gave you—a test to decide whether you could transform from my personal advisor to my assistant. If you took the step, you would gain the same status as Satoshi in my heart. If you kept the question to yourself, we would never have seen each other again in the future.” He smiled and said, “Fortunately, you took the step. So, stay with me from now onwards.”

“You fool!”

Nanjo Masaharu bashed his chest. “Who wants to stay by your side? You jerk! Don’t think that I’ll be willing just because you’re a god.”

“If I beg you to stay by my side, will you? Masaharu?” Li Dong asked.

“I…I—”

Nanjo Masaharu blushed as she lowered her head and played with her fingers. “I…I simply can’t do anything with you. If you insist, I…I can think about it.”

“Hahahaha…” All of a sudden, Li Dong threw back his head and roared with laughter. Pointing at her, he said “I knew it from the very beginning, Masaharu, you’re a Tsundere! Hahaha.”

The woman blushed even more.

And so, Nanjo Masaharu became an assistant by Li Dong’s side.

A few days later, after fully affirming that Li Dong was the supreme God of the planet, Nanjo Masaharu expended some little effort and made a request to him:

“Ryu, the Nanjo family was actually framed. They never participated in corruption. So please, do me a favor: exonerate the Nanjo family and restore them to their original place… Only you can help me now.”

Li Dong gave her a deep look.

He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. Although I understand your feelings, the Nanjo’s did participate in countrywide corruption activities involving more than one hundred billion dollars. The evidence is… tangible, and moreover, they were the masterminds. There’s no truth to them having been framed… I really couldn’t help you in this.”

“Ryu—”

Nanjo Masaharu was about to speak when she noticed Li Dong’s slightly disappointed eyes. She then pouted and lowered her head.

This matter ended up in nothing definite.

…

Another month had passed.

Vigorous reforms commenced on Eastern Jupiter. Li Dong launched a series of highly targeted changes in eight core areas: strengthening cosmic development, increasing protection toward underlying welfare, combating corruption, restricting aristocratic rights, industry, improving agriculture, and promoting commerce. These measures received broad support.

Thereafter, Eastern Jupiter embarked on a path of rapid development.
