NO．228：Observer Lipiya

"Going with a friend?"

"Although he had seen Zhouri Ningjing many times, he had never known about this sisterly relationship; hearing the term 'friend', Sai Luo momentarily didn't realize who was being referred to."

"Moreover, he felt the remark itself seemed incomplete; although he considered his Earth language skills lacking, he hesitated a bit further."

"He poked the ear-mounted terminal that integrated simultaneous translation functionality, and recalled Lipiya saying something like 'You can't rely on translators; you have to learn that knowledge yourself.'"

"But that Light Star person could easily finish a stack of books in half an hour, thus becoming a linguist not very adept at flexible application; if it were the Sai family's young master, it's hard to say."

"At that time, Sai Luo only felt that this otherworld uncle was talking without back pain; he brushed it off as wind in the ears, and now, after being lightly struck by a boomerang, he still couldn't be bothered to learn about such a trivial matter."

"Wouldn't it be fine to just ask directly?"

"... Well, before, it was often 'Friend'-san accompanying me."

"Sorry, I wanted to ask which person 'Friend'-san is."

"... Ningjing-san, Zhouri Ningjing."

"I see."

"Isn't the truth now clear? It's not a mystery that must be solved through one's own cultivation."

"In the mind of Captain Sai Luo of the Security Squad, only an invincible strong enemy on the battlefield is worth activating cultivation mode; studying the local language and pondering local culture for interpersonal relations is completely not his style."

"The Light Star civilization observer obviously held a different view, but this observer himself was an easygoing type who goes along with you as long as it doesn't cross a line; seeing Sai Luo only grasp the surface and leave it at that, he also didn't say anything."

"Yes, Lipiya, 326 meters away, could definitely conclude that Sai Luo was only paying attention to the surface."

"Distance won't impair his vision; although he differs from Sai Luo, his true form remains in another space, and his current human appearance is merely a shell forged from Spacium-133 atoms, but this material, identical to his true form, is sufficient to give this human-shaped shell its strength."

"Even sensory functions such as Ultra Ear and Ultra Eye are more free for him than for the mimetic human Sai Luo, who limits his strength to get along with people."

"Based on this, his dullness won't hinder his observation, because observation is merely an action, unrelated to thought; although what can be revealed is always only the surface of things, logic can still climb along the surface's grain."

"The girl's gaze when she said that was directed toward Aomo, and Aomo's facial expression when he had just answered Sai Luo was also somewhat abnormal, not matching his usual demeanor."

"There must be some hidden meaning here, but Sai Luo failed to notice it."

"'Do you need help?'"

"He didn't speak directly, but inquired via telepathy, which is also a manifestation of Lipiya's cultivation achievement."

"Although his expression remained a poker face and his speech still lacked sufficient vivid emotional fluctuation, in his behavioral choices he could already make some subtle and tactful moves."

"In fact, he is not unable to understand joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; understanding just one of them usually requires extrapolating from his own felt experiences, otherwise he'd need strong empathy to cross the chasm of 'never having experienced it,' but the Light Star planetary observer lacks such empathy and has never experienced 'feeling ashamed.'"

"His overly righteous conduct became an obstacle to understanding shame culture, and likewise he couldn't grasp the tactful, restrained behavioral style that derives from shame."

"For this, his solution is also quite simple."

"Rather than trying to make himself experience shame through various means, he went to read research papers."

"Recording knowledge, sharing it—this is how civilizations of wise beings are always built, and the Light Star is no exception."

"Even if a behavior cannot be understood, it can be comprehended through the underlying logic dissected by others; this is something even an AI can do, and he naturally has no problem with it."

"Although in the end it doesn't compare to firsthand experience in thoroughness, it is still sufficient to avoid mistakes and that sudden burst of anger."

"Just like now, little Aomo glanced over from afar in surprise, and the response was likewise calm and composed."

"'No, thank you...' after a brief pause, the other party then said, 'It's also not a big deal.'"

"'Good.'"

"Light talk that stops at that, clean and decisive, is Lipiya's consistent communication style; although it often draws dissatisfaction from female companions, it nevertheless earns unanimous praise from male companions."

"Thus, he continued to focus on monitoring the training of Gechengwangpai."

"One after another, static schematics and fluctuation statistics charts—if Sai Luo looked at them, his head would swell, and they are completely unlike the training style suited for the hot-blooded, energetic Gechengwangpai, yet the results are significant."

"At this point, which can no longer be considered secret training, just two side-by-side runs are enough to show the excellent recovery effect."

"Whenever a bottleneck in the numbers is encountered, Sai Luo takes over, reenacting the extreme style of Leo training, making Aomo look on thoughtfully, feeling that this alternation of pace has considerable reference value."

"In contrast, his originally written training plan, although it gave flexible adjustment time, still overly followed the academy's steady mindset."

"Relying on big shots' scripts for stylistic interspersing is indeed a good adjustment method, but now he must face the fact that those scripts themselves have become busy."

"However, it's not all bad; at least it gives these senior veterans more chances to show juniors their speed and skills."

"All belonging to Aomo's command, they are inherently conducive to mutual guidance within the circle; in game terms, that's called a high-frequency 'friendship occurrence'."

"But perhaps it could also lead to a showdown of hooking stones in the second-generation dark dungeon."

"... Has my three-wave speed improved?"

"Master, inquiring whether uphill training is strengthened."

"Guinea Pig Lord, how is my final sprint speed?"

"Hey, Aomo, have you noticed my running? Any thoughts on adjusting?"

"Some things show their first signs right from the start."

"Especially a certain miss who personally said she didn't need Aomo to micromanage training, but now has turned around asking for adjustments."

"Although I had thought that day would come sooner or later, but this is really too fast—are you unable to stick it out for even a day? Or is it just that you want to join the fun seeing the little girls gathered together?"

"Regardless, this trainer with long hair, short stature, and a sour expression ultimately still held back the aggressive valve in front of the little girls and the big idol."

"With an especially conservative and objective tone, he explained that he was still a novice trainer, lacking advanced knowledge, and for now needed to let that Heavenly Wolf Star run more to reach a conclusion."

"He also temporarily sealed the identical decks of Qianming and Bai Ren."

"From afar, seeing those two people each showing different degrees of stiff moments, Aomo tentatively confirmed Ma Er's individual differences in capturing human voices."

"Then he recalled some of Shu's remarks on causal discourse."

"They were along the lines of 'When you notice some noteworthy causes, can't you not imagine the resulting effects in the future?'"

"Ordinary people indeed cannot have such strong associations."

"But those accustomed to thinking, those about observation, can let logic climb along the phenomena's grain, extending to a future unreachable by observation alone."

"So-called reasoning, so-called predictions derived from reasoning, are precisely based on this principle, and have also become the cause of his insomnia."

To be frank, with those life hacks he's good at, there are also quite a few that apply to the tranquil mind's source energy arts; it's not to the point of causing insomnia at all.

Sai Luo and Lipiya aren't clear on this point, but others can't say for sure.

Even before the girls had finished gathering, he had already been greeted with looks of astonishment, doubt, and suspicion more than once; obviously, given the lack of information or misguided reports, no one could easily get close to the truth.

Apart from not participating in the 'General Offensive' segment, after the trainer had dealt with each team member individually, he didn't come to finish things off; instead, leaning against the track fence, holding a phone and tapping, was the Manchester Chazuo.

【Profound Coffee: Is the trainer's insomnia because of his older sister?】

Dreams are a realm that is extremely common for countless people, yet extremely unfamiliar; taking the boundless possibilities of flights of fancy and extreme confidentiality as their footing in reality, they naturally shut out the vision of those who can only perceive reality.

But she is the exception.
