Chapter 1250: NO．154：This Is Also a Side of the Schoolgirl

NO. 154: This is also one aspect of the schoolgirl.

【You need to learn to make exceptions: This sounds like a trainer with inappropriate thoughts about Umamusume confessing, Akane—you really should be wary of those around you?】

【Starting an experiment: Indeed, I've always thought Chimei and Rudolf and those guys were suspicious!】

【Monsters are necessary: Huh? Are you not talking about the Umamusume currently being raised? Like Miss Suzuko, whose stance has always been vague?】

【Starting an experiment: How could it be! Though I don't want to admit it, Guinea Pig-kun completely didn't see us as women……】

【Texas: Can I say something?】

【You need to learn to make exceptions: Oh, of course, go ahead—your understanding of him is highly valuable as reference.】

【Texas: He… wrote that doujinshi, right? I heard from Kong that it's quite extreme……】

【Starting an experiment: Probably so—Digital-kun has always created while avoiding my presence.】

【Monsters are necessary: Not all doujinshi are R18!! Little Snake's release this time is all-ages!

What's wrong with you guys? Don't you understand this at all?!】

【Texas: I know, this is what I wanted to say…】

I just didn't expect you to react so strongly… Cherenina still can't quite figure out what this companion is thinking.

Sometimes she seems eager to steer the topic toward Suzuko and her friends, then suddenly denies it with such agitation—whether this misunderstanding stems from age or cultural environment, she can't tell, after all, she's never been good at reading people's hearts, especially the delicate hearts of young girls.

But now, the focus isn't here.

【Texas: Anyway, could his understanding possibly… just be because of creation?】

【Monsters are necessary: Yes, indeed……】

This is too likely, isn't it?

Texas is very clear that her boyfriend can chat and laugh with a group of big shots—not because of his own rich experience, but because he's seen many "other people's stories."

Of course, this situation itself is quite hard to replicate.

After all, for most people, stories are just stories.

Having read a story, one understands a principle—this supposedly basic standard is, for modern people, already a kind of test; more people hear hearsay and let it pass, casually flipping through stories and letting them glide smoothly over the brain, not to mention grasping anything—let alone learning anything, which is difficult to achieve.

Under this premise, other people's stories ultimately remain just other people's stories, undigested.

But with the help of the crystal element, he gains photographic memory of this foundation, and upon it, his unique way of acquiring stories—by dissecting them.

Not passively absorbing others' words, but through his own observation and deduction, piecing together fragments like a puzzle to understand the "samples" of those experiences.

This research-like way of understanding is destined to leave a vivid impression, and at the same time, his past tendency to observe everything with detachment plays an indispensable role here.

Texas doesn't fully understand her boyfriend's past—even during those two days in Aachen, she felt she knew less than Hololiveya did—but as his official girlfriend, every feeling she has while being with him is crystal clear.

One thing that must be mentioned: many of his opinions and sighs, spoken from his mouth, don't necessarily point to his past.

For a woman who has recently confirmed a relationship, is in the heat of emotional warming, and wants to know everything about her partner, realizing this isn't difficult.

But she doesn't suspect the new people who joined the group are fabricating statements to stir up trouble.

Her impression of Hololiveya is indeed unfavorable, but she doesn't deny the other's ability and intelligence.

When just joining the group, everyone still isn't used to or accepting you—if you throw this kind of bombshell—if it's fake, our commander is surely an impulsive player, and if you provoke her, she'll just ignore everything and directly confront the person involved.

By then, she might be fine, but you'll be in trouble.

—Hololiveya wouldn't make such a stupid mistake; Cherenina, who has this awareness, wouldn't go to question the topic Akane is doubting.

She feels this might be Hololiveya's way of trying to better integrate into the group by bringing up this topic.

Or perhaps it's just emphasizing her own ability.

But honestly, maybe we don't need to worry about this at all?

The result? These people took it so seriously it's like they have a crooked eight-character fate—and why is this person not angry about inappropriate thoughts toward the male side, but instead furious about other women harboring ill intentions?

「……」

During the unloading segment, Texas in the water group glanced at the distant Croissant negotiating with the handover company staff, and Lumerle watching the spectacle nearby.

This recurring cognitive gap often makes her wonder if she's just too inexperienced with young girls—her colleagues are all roughly her age, about to hit thirty, some very socially adept, others not so much—maybe only using female students still in school as a benchmark?

Anyway, it definitely isn't Lappland, that dumb dog yelling about hot springs.

【Monsters are necessary: Anyway, go back and investigate again—report! You Rodland folks, and even Little Snake's own investigation—you all need to watch closely!】

【You need to learn to make exceptions: I don't mind, really—but being overly eager has already made him suspect you.】

Even if that's true, but you saying this makes you seem even more suspicious……

Though not skilled in interpersonal interactions, Texas is very familiar with business and family negotiation scenes—she only feels that between the lines, everything reveals a desire for "more generous compensation."

Considering Hololiveya's reputation, Texas guesses she's consistently been unable to gain an advantage in Omer, so she wants to leverage this side's convenience.

But it's not ruled out that her forcefully attaching herself here might indeed scare off the snakes.

Not to mention whether "making the other lose favor just to complete the task—this 'no grass, but horse must run' behavior" is appropriate—if she really messes up, the newly joined intelligence specialist would be as good as ruined by botched operations……

For a moment, Texas hesitated, didn't type anything, just stared at Akane's name—and then saw the window suddenly vibrate and pop up:

【Monsters are necessary: Chena-chan! What should we do! Should we help her!?】

As expected, the commander couldn't decide either, leaving her speechless—but she only typed one line:

【You decide】

After all, given Akane's usual willful nature, she could completely ignore this hint—but if the other side truly can't keep up, cold treatment would clearly chill the newcomer's heart, even breed resentment.

She's indeed heard people say this snake girl is quite petty.

【Mmm……】

After a brief pause, the other party's typing indicator appeared and vanished, then a message popped up from the other end of the chat:

【Monsters are necessary: @You need to learn to make exceptions—this is simple! Premise: you just need to have free time!

You'll have time later, right! No other work!?】

【You need to learn to make exceptions: Nope, I originally had all my 'work' dedicated to advancing Serpent's form—now, I don't need to continue it anymore.】

No wonder she's been able to run around everywhere for Aomo these past few days… After the weekend ended and Texas stabilized her work, she once unexpectedly continued on that side.

【Monsters are necessary: Good! Then come to the agency! Little Snake's Linton Agency!】

【Start an experiment: は？】

"……" She had once had the same plan, but was persuaded back by her boyfriend with "You should still choose the lifestyle you're more accustomed to," and the wolf girl's eyebrows twitched.

【Learn to make exceptions: Oh? Can this kind of thing really be done?】

【Monsters are necessary: Little Snake has always lacked personnel in this area; Badger and Tenjia Sang, just by operating monsters, have sufficient combat power, but besides combat power, they can't do anything else】

【Start an experiment: That's true enough, but this woman is from Rhodes Island, right? Hamster-kun is still cooperating with Rhodes Island, and this would be a very bad influence】

【Learn to make exceptions: No need to worry about that, over there there have always been quite a few people wanting to drive me away】

【Start an experiment: Huh? What did you do to end up like this?】

【Texas: She destroyed Rhine Life's important energy source, and she's had bloody conflicts with not few operators; frankly speaking, when she appeared at the Kazdel Military Council, I was quite surprised that Muelsseth and the others could restrain themselves from acting】

【Learn to make exceptions: After all, there are still Theresa and Pruisa those women over there, those water spirits really, when they meet men, their brains don't work too well, not like everyone has always let me feel quite friendly toward

Although somewhat clumsy, but they're all using their brains, aren't they?】

【Start an experiment: Clumsiness is superfluous, or are you saying you want to continue that kind of treatment here?】

【Learn to make exceptions: Oh dear, angry? I didn't mean to look down on any of you, Miss Suzi, you're too sensitive, are you the kind of person who always thinks you're especially smart?】

【Start an experiment: Didn't you investigate everything clearly from the beginning?】

【Learn to make exceptions: Information still needs to be verified to be reliable, Aomo-sensei is very clear on this point, you don't know that?】

【Start an experiment: Suji-kun, can I mute her?】

【Monsters are necessary: Ban!】

"……"

Looking at Hololive being muted for one day's announcement, Texas looked at that unreserved answer, feeling she somewhat understood some female students.
