Haneoka is a truly terrifying place.
"It just so happens that today is Friday, and in order to ensure everyone's absolute safety, the school has no choice but to urgently announce the cancellation of all club activities today, and all students and faculty members must leave the school immediately," Kanako said with a helpless shrug.
"I see..." Chihaya Aine withdrew her gaze, her tone involuntarily becoming lighter. "Then... does that mean I don't need to come next week?"
I love Yuu-oka.
"Um... well..." Kanako hesitated for a moment, ultimately shattering her illusions, "If the school council could urgently dispatch a few high-level Evocation Mages to help, we could probably fix it in about half a day by working overtime..."
I hate Yuqiu.
"By the way, how about we go shopping at the newly opened mall tonight?" Wu suddenly suggested excitedly. "I heard that the Tsurumaki family recently invested in a huge shopping center nearby, and they're having a grand opening sale right now!"
"However, it seems that my favorite Takahashi hasn't moved in...and it seems like they haven't launched any new products in a long time."
"Um..." Chihaya Aine hesitated for a moment, then took Takamatsu Akari's hand, "I think I'll pass, Akari and I are going to RiNG later..."
"I see." Mai looked a little disappointed, then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Aine-chan, you've been rushing to RiNG right after school these past few days. Is something important going on? Or... are you doing special training?"
"Haha..." Chihaya Aine laughed awkwardly, "It's not really like that, it's just some regular training..."
"As expected of Aine-chan..." Kanako exclaimed, "Not only are her grades good, but she's also so hardworking..."
“I can’t go either.” Eri suddenly sighed and shook her lit-up phone screen. “I just got a message from home saying there’s an urgent matter and I need to go back.”
“Okay…” Mai looked even more disappointed. “Then Kanako and I will go home first.”
Chihaya Aine waved goodbye to the two, and just as she turned around, preparing to leave with Takamatsu Akari, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing not far from the school gate.
soyorin?
Why is she here?
Chihaya Aine immediately stepped forward, ready to greet her.
------
"They're students from Tsuki no Mori..."
"I think students from Tsukimori have visited our school before, right?"
Nagasaki Motoyo stood at the entrance of Haneoka School, listening to the scattered discussions, her eyes anxiously searching through the surging crowd.
"Why isn't Ze-jun coming out yet..."
Although she had already failed once, how could Nagasaki Motoyo give up so easily?
Ze Jun is in such a dangerous situation that someone must be there to protect his safety from the shadows at all times!
All we need to do is use the tiny bit of "experience" I accumulated from tracking Xiao Xiang before... cough cough...
"soyorin?"
A vibrant voice suddenly rang out in front of her. Nagasaki Motoyo snapped back to reality and found Chihaya Aine's face, beaming with a bright smile, right in front of her.
"Ah." Her face instantly switched back to an impeccable gentle smile, and she quickly replied, "What a coincidence, Aine-chan. I'm in this area... running errands."
"You're waiting for us to get out of school?" Chihaya Aine said happily. "I'm going to RiNG with Kotori, soyorin, do you want to come along?"
"Well..." Nagasaki Motoyo reached out and smoothed her hair, trying to find a suitable reason to refuse, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure walking out of the school gate with the crowd not far behind Chihaya Aine.
Koshimura looked somewhat nervous, and was slightly turning his head to talk to the person next to him.
Ze Jun?
A surge of joy filled her heart, and she hurried forward, only to see a similarly familiar figure beside him—
Toyokawa Shoko was carrying a bag and walking side by side with Koshimura Sawa, a helpless expression on her face.
Why do you seem so nervous... It's just a meal, is it really necessary?
...Xiao Xiang?
Ugh?
Why... are they together?
Nagasaki Motoyo's heart leaped into her throat, and she instinctively stopped in her tracks.
"That's true, but I don't know what the process of meeting the parents should be like... Do I need to prepare anything in advance?" Koshimura Sawa's tone was a little uneasy.
Nagasaki Suyo breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh, so it was meeting the parents. I thought...
and many more!
Meeting the parents?!
"Wait, Aine-chan, Kodama!" Nagasaki Motoyo's face suddenly showed an unprecedented determination. "I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to take care of, so it seems I can't go to RiNG with you. I'm sorry!"
Before the two could respond, she quickly turned around, quickened her pace, and blended into the crowd leaving the school, catching up with their backs.
"?"
Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari stood there, watching her hurried departure, blinking in confusion.
------
"Buying these should be enough..."
Koshimura Sawa walked out of the automatic door carrying boxes of milk and beautifully packaged fruit gift boxes that he had just bought from the supermarket, feeling that the weight in his hands was quite heavy.
“Ze, you really didn’t need to buy so much…” Toyokawa Shoko said apologetically, looking at the two large stacks of things beside him. “Our family wanted to thank you, but you ended up spending so much money on all this stuff…”
"It's alright. I can't come empty-handed for my first visit; basic etiquette is necessary." Yuecun Ze smiled, then suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, should I buy some wine or something—"
What if I run out of mana and can't activate Drunken Frenzy?
"Absolutely not." Toyokawa Shoko's tone suddenly became resolute. "Father has already promised me that he will completely quit drinking. Sawa, you too, absolutely, absolutely no cigarettes or alcohol, understand?"
You're already interfering with my life before we're even married? Hajixiang, you bastard...
"I understand, I understand." Yuecun Ze was both amused and exasperated, and nodded hurriedly. "I am mortal with gambling and drugs."
[Friendly reminder: Just in case you forgot, Yuecunze mentioned in Chapter 1 that he once used 70,000 Star Stones to go all-in on the Berserker Koru Chihaya Aine FES gacha pool.]
You don't understand giraffes. Gacha games with pay-to-win gacha mechanics are all pseudo-random, so it doesn't count as pursuing a PhD.
Can probability theory be considered a PhD?
However, the era when my hard-earned Star Stones and Confucian Scholar cards only yielded two-dimensional characters is over. Now I can directly obtain Confucian Scholars—
Koshimura suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Xiangzi, do you have a feeling... like someone's been watching us all along?"
He frowned and looked back warily.
"Really?" Toyokawa Shoko also stopped and looked back in confusion, but only saw a few scattered pedestrians and no suspicious figures.
"Never mind, it must be my imagination." Koshimura rubbed his temples and continued walking forward. "So much has happened lately... I'm definitely a bit overreacting."
"No, it's always better to be careful, no matter what." Toyokawa Shoko quickly followed him, her tone tinged with worry.
Behind a telephone pole in the distance, Nagasaki Motoyo cautiously peeked out and let out a long breath.
We almost got caught... thank goodness.
It seems that she has become somewhat rusty since she hasn't used the stealth skill for so long.
I need to practice more when I get back... wait, what am I, a priest, supposed to do with this?
Although Tsukimori did offer an elective course teaching stealth skills, and she had even enrolled and achieved a perfect score, she really didn't intentionally want to learn these skills!
As a priest who provides buffs and healing for the team, is it wrong to improve one's own survivability?
Hello, would you like to learn about the field of trickery?
but...
Nagasaki Motoyo's gaze once again locked onto the two people walking side by side in front of her, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
It really was about meeting the parents...
Xiangzi, I never imagined you'd come to this...
I was here first... whether it was getting to know him, confessing my feelings, or even...
If this continues, won't we be left far behind?
No! I have to find a way to let Ze Jun come and see my home too—
Forehead...
Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly felt an urge to cry.
No, now is not the time to be discouraged!
In any case, we have to follow them and see for ourselves what exactly happened!
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you confirm the next step of your strategy.
As long as I have enough intelligence, even if it's Feng Yue = Yi 3⑷Mio ⑦⒉er, what can Bakikawa Xiang do to me?
Stop increasing laughter!
Nagasaki Motoyo rallied her spirits, took a deep breath, and quietly moved forward again, using the billboards and pedestrians on the street as cover to follow the two at a distance.
Tsukimori Detective, solving cases with utmost seriousness!
"Dengdeng, did you understand what she was doing just now?"
Behind a lush roadside tree, Chihaya Aine peeked out, squinting her eyes in confusion as she stared intently at Nagasaki Motoyo, who was moving around using cover in all sorts of incredible ways.
"I...I don't know," Takamatsu Akari answered softly, instinctively clutching Chihaya Aine's sleeve and tugging at it gently. Her amber eyes were filled with unease. "Aine-chan...is it really okay for us to secretly follow someone like this...?"
“It would be bad if it were anyone else, but it’s Soyorin! Her behavior is so abnormal, something must have happened to her.” Chihaya Aine’s tone was firm, but her gaze remained fixed on Nagasaki Motoyo. “Kata, it’s urgent. We have to catch up quickly, or we’ll lose her at this speed!”
“Okay…” Takamatsu Akari looked at Chihaya Aine’s serious expression and finally nodded. She was half-pulled and half-draggled by her and started running, blending into the surging crowd.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tokyo is such a small place
Mikasa Mikasa, 16 years old, is a high school student.
She is also a member of the recently popular duo [sumimi].
As for why they didn't debut as the most common five-person adventure group, but rather as a duo... that's because compared to traditional adventure groups, the focus of the [sumimi] duo is more on [creation].
While ordinary adventure groups also raise funds for exploring the Void by holding live performances from time to time, the frequent release of spell albums, independently held solo live performances, and a lot of publicity and influence—this kind of operation, which is more like that of an idol group, quickly gave sumimi a higher level of exposure than any other adventure group in the same period.
However, Misaka Chuka was not complacent about this, let alone take all the credit for it.
Because compared to herself, Junda Mana from the same group is clearly more talented... She is not only the absolute main force in creation, but also a genius who once achieved a brilliant record of "five consecutive championships" in the National Junior High School Spell Construct Competition.
Although it is not a more comprehensive national competition for middle school professional players, it is already difficult for magic-based professions to achieve results when competing alone. Winning the championship in a spell-building competition that purely tests spell-building skills and innovative thinking is basically the highest achievement that magic-based professions can achieve independently.
Not to mention the unprecedented five consecutive championships.
It can be described as the highest mountain and the longest river in the world of high school mage, and it can already be compared with Teacher Dafei.
[Stop the baseless bashing. Yue/YiIX Lingliusi Liuqiqi II Dam etc. Dafei will be a six-time champion after his final battle with Chaowei in Chengdu this year. Mugui shouldn't be associated with him, okay?]
Compared to her, Mitsukasa's resume seems rather thin, even negligible.
The only comment on the resume from the firm's director was: "Exceptionally talented, with great potential, recommended for focused development."
Her job was simply to handle the divine magic that Junda Mana didn't understand, and to provide inspiration from time to time to ensure that the group had a certain degree of self-defense and combat capability.
Therefore, even though the group has gotten on track and is thriving, Triangle Hatsuka has never relaxed in the slightest.
Even after completing the work assigned by the agency, she would still make a point of setting aside time for extra practice to continuously improve herself.
Coffee is one of the few hobbies that allows her to relax in the gaps of her busy schedule.
"Hatsumi-chan, have you made your choice?"
A vibrant voice suddenly came from behind me.
Sanko Chuka placed the jar of coffee beans she was examining on the shelf and looked back.
A girl with shoulder-length brown hair was skipping and hopping towards this side.
Mana Junda.
