NO. 149: You understand him

When a new day begins, some people go to the kitchen to rustle up breakfast, while others opt to have takeout delivered.

Shinjo Akane and Ailisuzhi are clearly that type of person; even when Miura Bohai said she could take over the kitchen system, they still rejected his application.

But at least when they ordered takeout, they discussed ordering together, and they didn't leave out Bohai's share.

It's just that…

In the subculture scene, there was a period when videos titled 'xx not at home' were popular; their content mostly featured chaotic music parties when the guardian was away, and this rebellious spirit is equivalent to the streaming world's 'when the prison guard is away, the little broadcaster plays for a while,' which also applies at the Lindon office.

The concrete manifestation lies in the food content over these two days and the frequency of smoke in the lab.

Without that certain person who isn't an elder but acts like one, the labs smoking up and down over these two days are undeniably frequent.

Diet was also excessively indulgent, with honey special drinks, various milk teas and black teas coming one after another, and dessert takeouts appearing frequently; it's hard to imagine that before this, a woman surnamed Shinjo was still trying to exercise and lose weight, while a horse girl surnamed Ailisuzhi was even winning championships on the Saichang.

The only one who maintained self-discipline was the cyber horse girl Miura Bohai.

Not only did she not move the dishes on the table, but starting yesterday she also helped tidy up, cleaning the living room and desk, so as not to face a pile of household trash when the trainer suddenly returns.

Today should be no different.

The trainer hasn't returned, the Manchester tea seat hasn't returned, and the cyber horse girl's dissuasion lacks force, like a built-in computer software rest reminder.

Of course, this largely stems from her inability to gauge social distance, causing her to unconsciously withdraw.

If the master were to come in person, he would likely just directly take action against these two.

But precisely because it's the master, those two wouldn't get angry; what if it were me instead?

Bohai's calculations cannot reach a definite conclusion.

Thus she also has that invisible barrier with her roommates.

But those two roommates are no different.

In the academy, she always prowls with an air of invincibility seeking test subjects, wandering at the edge where the student council knocks on the door, and Ailisuzhi rarely has moments to let roommates try the medicine.

While in front of Aomo, Shinjo Akane is always willful and capricious, but in front of Suzi, Chazuo, and Bohai she is invariably kind and gentle, rarely making dangerous remarks.

Even though these two share many research topics and have even entered the lab together to collaborate, they also harbor an unspoken sense of distance.

Unlike Bohai, Suzi and Akane are both well-versed in interpersonal relations, full of scheming 'dangerous individuals'.

But from the perspective of how they treat people, these two are not much different from the former Aomo.

They unconsciously keep their distance, unconsciously disguise themselves, and even always wear a smile.

The only difference is that when interacting with people, Suzi's smile is more genuine, because her interactions are inseparable from the theme of 'experiment,' and whenever her goal is achieved, her delight is pure and unadorned.

While Akane's smile is mostly fake, and only she knows what she's thinking when joining the conversation.

The social skills of everyone in this house are somewhat problematic.

Even Miss Shinjo Akane, who appears socially fulfilled on the surface, doesn't have a true close female friend.

Perhaps there was once a chance, but unfortunately the other party also said: 'I want to be with you… I wish this wish would never come true.'

She has often thought these past days, because she has seen that so-called super agent, having had the idea, she also has a corresponding dream.

But a dream remains a dream.

Such a problem is also hard to tell others, except for that youth who almost knows everything about her.

But she also has some strange reserve.

When she can't find a suitable topic, she doesn't want the other party to notice her bringing it up.

At this point she has to thank Suzi.

Suzi's strange medicinal effect came at just the right time; seeing Xiao She leave the office, she herself pulled up a temporary small group, habitually sharing Xiao She's current status while also wanting to learn more about his further condition.

Then she also felt some regret.

Some people's minds are just like that, fickle and unpredictable.

When seeing his empty bedroom, she felt a sigh of relief; but when seeing his cute, petite appearance on the screen, she would want to grab him, ruffle his hair and pull his face, feeling that same sourness as with number ten.

But this is obviously just a wish; hoping reality would match her imagination is naturally an arrogant act, especially since she is no longer the 'Creator' who could toy with a city, and she must now answer for what she has done.

A string of '【Will you come back or not!】' will surely get no reply, and she herself is aware of that.

But in order to keep the original chaotic heart, she still has to post, acting as if she doesn't care whether he will come or not, and then in chatting with her roommates she inevitably discusses where he will spend the night.

It seems that after posting that photo, the ones who had been with him—numbers thirteen and eleven—soon fell silent, which is really unsettling.

These guys are all grown-ups messing around chaotically; Xiao She won't be eaten up, will he?

Holding such anxiety, Shinjo Akane returned to her training routine—she appeared in the living room in the morning, looking exhausted.

It's clear that only her routine has returned, not her health.

"You look like you also need the same potion as the guinea pig, Akane," said Ailisuzhi, sitting opposite her, pointing at the lavish breakfast on the table, "If you take in enough energy, perhaps you won't show signs of aging."

"You can try it yourself first."

Akane smiled, then buried herself in unpacking the food on the table, retorting: "At this time of day, seeing you here, your sleep quality probably isn't any better."

"...?" Bohai, seated beside Suzi, hearing this conversation looked at the two with some confusion, "Application confirmation, has something happened?"

Hearing her out-of-situation inquiry, the two exchanged glances, and Suzi then said with a subtle expression: "Bohai, where do you think the guinea pig's condition will spend the night?"

Retrieving yesterday's communication with the master confirmed it as a colleague's home.

"He did tell you, didn't he?" Shinjo Akane, grabbing a piece of toast, chewed hard, "I didn't expect he'd actually not go home; are we being too harsh?"

She looked at Suzi, who was sipping tea and flipping a thin tablet; hearing that, she said: "Where does this harshness come from? With his busy situation, you should have realized it already."

Think about why he initially agreed to take that potion—wasn't it because he didn't want to give up his original schedule?

Suzi seemed to speak openly, eating slowly as well: "Besides the horse girl called New Cosmos, there are also some personal matters, like those mercenary tasks he's been doing."

I think he's just plainly avoiding us~

That's inevitable, just as the representative Qianming said: he noticed the abnormality yesterday, and with his intellect it's not surprising he'd figure us out, but if he thinks avoiding us will make things easy…… that's completely wrong.

Do you have a backup plan?

Seeing her confident appearance, Xin Tiaoqian seemed to forget the whole night's unpleasantness; the priority of pranks far outweighed last night's dissatisfaction, and Du Juantai's mischievous deity seemed still to be here.

And the Bo Pang sitting beside Suzi had already, even before, had his thoughts drift far away from their talk, straight into the universe.

Mei Pu Bo Pang. exe had no response.

"Not exactly, just saw something interesting." She said, stretching the tablet in her hand longer and wider, then holding it upright on the table.

Xin then saw a familiar youthful profile hanging above, and beside it stood the woman from last night's photo.

An acquaintance of numbers 13 and 11, maybe called Texas, or perhaps a colleague of Little Snake; looking at the title again confirms it.

【Love child!? The private life of renowned trainer Aomo Lindon exposed! Secret affair with an older female colleague!】

"What kind of third-rate tabloid headline is this?"

Such an outrageous headline, Xin Tiaoqian felt no ripple in her heart, even wanting to laugh a bit.

"Indeed, it's just a third-rate tabloid; you can't see it in other newspapers' columns. It seems even Guinea Pig Jun gave it a try," Ailisuzhi's face bore a somewhat narrow smile, "but it's enough to joke about him for a while; later we can also send him a message asking how it feels to be his love child."

She said, and then suddenly heard a hoarse, rough roar from the phone Xin Tiaoqian had pulled out while lowering her head, and saw the other's face show a hint of strangeness:

"I'm a bit worried about his mental state now."

"What do you mean?"

Flipping over her phone screen, Xin displayed the page that had jumped there; the magnificent and terrifying steel demon stood tall, the end of the universe they had never witnessed in that GBN.

【Super perfect recreation! The conclusion at the end of causality! On the seventh day after the vote ended, Aomo Lindon remade his image to its peak!】

"Seriously, won't Little Snake just vanish into thin air in the human world?"
