NO. 170: New semester, new atmosphere!

The holiday always passes quickly—when seeing Ailisuzhi's displeased face, he couldn't help but feel a few points of unrelated emotion.

After all, his life these past few days felt like he was still at school, and sitting below the podium.

Either filling in the professional knowledge of a trainer, or flipping through toolbooks gathered from various fields, preparing for the agency's subsequent development.

A day's time was mostly spent on studying and implementing, the remainder had to deal with uninvited friends—

—for example, Bai Ren, who came diligently these days as if there was nothing to do, and Bi Ze, who came to mock after hearing from somewhere that Aomo was blacklisted by gbn, and even to the point of gradually reducing work frequency as school approached, actively coming to visit Chazuo, Bourbon's Yuzu Cross… and Mih-yu.

Considering Miss Rice's timid and cowardly nature, it's not hard to imagine how important Miss Yuzu's role was.

It was simply like the sturdy shield in Brave Rice's hand—with her, the brave dared to visit that demon cave wrapped in countless rumors, to see that expressionless princess.

Or perhaps saying it was the Demon King's ultimate weapon.

Now, with the Asu Championship already nearly a week away, and the news hype having ended, Aomo's subordinates, including Mihou Bourbon, all three horsegirls already had four or five common nicknames, even aliases.

These nicknames mostly came from their performance on the track, but some were also tied to companions' deeds, or even linked to trainer reputations.

In this regard, Aomo couldn't help but once again hold prejudice against Jidong people.

That bunch always stuck with terms like 'Demon King', 'Madness', 'Villain', 'Cold-blooded', etc. —IP refinement showed them as Jidong netizens, always able to create unmatched chuunibyou and old-fashionedness in their nicknames.

Sigh, drowned in the otherworldly toilet paper trend. jpg

What?

You say the label combination of spiritual girl, research weirdo, and cyborg looks just like a villainous executive team?

You insulted the nearly four-thousand-year positive history of spirit invocation, biochemistry, and AI development combined! I demand you correct it immediately!

First, I must say once: Aomo does not approve of those netizens' carnival-like spreading, and he himself absolutely does not count as any Demon King.

Then say it again: although there's a monster maker among cohabitants, a collaborator who degenerated from a witch to a wizard Digimon, and recently a horsegirl with an extreme nickname, Triple Crown, who often runs the agency, it absolutely does not represent Linton Agency as a demon den.

Hope everyone can see through the essence of rumors with discerning eyes, summon courage to post simple commissions to find cats and dogs.

Lastly, say it once more: don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors, and then…… Lappland and Reimu Le are not allowed inside, even if carrying Chelenina.

Supplement: Chelenina can come in, you two go out.

Above is the agency's experience these past few days, simultaneously not lacking some small interludes.

For example, Xin Tiaoxi lost eight pounds violently, posted on friends' circle, was called invincible by former classmates from Tianmen City, busy asking where she got her determination and courage.

Also like how the subtle voting website received a friend request from Evolto, Aomo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking decided to listen to what the other had to say, then was so put off by their frivolous opening line that he deleted the friend.

Until the other directly private messaged two pieces of information about the Gundam test drive experience hall, and specific intel about a monster breeding farm existing somewhere as a gray industry, Aomo tentatively gave him a separate friend list.

Named: Insulting Coffee Trash.

Worth mentioning is that Mu Hai Xingzi's account doesn't have this treatment.

The note is simply just 'Mu Hai Xingzi', while conversely, Evolto can enjoy the special note 【Space Trash】.

Of course, compared to those 'friends' hard to have new dialogue with, it's better to still look at distant 'family'.

And the welfare institute's those 'younger brothers and sisters' having the same classification as genuine clever ones, is different from those 'same kind' who have communication only once every few years, daily greetings and simple exchanges, the exchange style often fluctuating between 3D siblings and 2D siblings imagery.

And that without separate friend list treatment, merely placed in the 'Graduated Horsegirl' category column, Maruzensuki, has always been very quiet, simple to the point of near-awkward greetings, after which there is no further text.

Just like real friends and family on social media accounts.

Nothing much fails to connect, daily at most just holiday blessings-like movements.

But this is also undoubtedly hassle-free.

Expressing concern doesn't necessarily have to be endless nagging—since after that sudden hug last time, Maruzensuki's words and actions in front of him have become 'steady' many times over.

But it's hard to say whether this will be a long-term performance of Aomo, and he still won't list her in the 'reliable' row among acquaintances.

And in the sense of household registration relatives—Morrison Linton, is obviously not worth mentioning, his main presence these days being first to laugh and point fingers, then nearly playing dead while diving to play games.

Of course, Aomo also didn't expect that when facing Chelenina, Maruzensuki, and Zhenjiling before, they could help him in any way.

Even if speaking seriously, this foster father with looks fit for idol dramas and vampire movies, also didn't truly live the experience of idol dramas, his over-a-hundred-years age not finding himself an aunt, exactly this era's single-wan-sui-ism iron-blood supporter.

Occasionally opening the topic of leaving singlehood for Aomo, it's also hard to say he truly acts as an elder caring for juniors' emotional experiences.

More likely he wants to see that always-expressionless foster son show some other expression.

And then he would gain something different from the disdain of a blank face.

Roles reversed, he starts asking how many good female relationships he could have, among female colleagues how many could be said to have spoken, had a drink.

After that, no need to elaborate further.

Morrison is a vampire detached from lowbrow tastes, devoting all his love to his weapon collection—such a description generally lets him present decently.

For Aomo, these past few days' calm is like a return to student life, especially those first two days when he hadn't truly restored mind-body unity, exactly like his senior year of high school.

Daytime studying, evening carving out self-study-like time, other time either watering groups scrolling forums, or collecting recent horsegirl intelligence—except Chazuo returning from Anmei District letting him extra time to pick up at the airport, everything else matches high school life rhythm exactly.

And conversely, the three horsegirls in the agency are normally enjoying their final holiday.

And that Tiaoxi who transferred to Jie Men District High, whose school start time matches Central Trusen's, was originally one of them, but Aomo obviously won't let her off so easily.

Otherwise, where would that miracle of losing eight pounds in less than a week come from.

What is a miracle? A miracle is willpower and magic!

This era lacks no magic, and willpower—what's that? A demon could forcibly bestow it upon you.

And the final result is that all efforts have not been in vain!

Xin Tiaoxi can go to her newly handled school with a considerably improved figure and appearance.

Just like Trusen, both in the western district, a long stretch is the same route—this fact for Aomo is hard to say good or bad, after all he's not from Yin District, won't stack joy on motorcycles.

Perhaps he should give up motorcycle fun, pick up Mifelass cards to choose ultimate convenience—when he thought that, the already honking red sports car at the door gave him another choice.

Maruzensuki's Lamborghini, main problem is being conspicuous, secondary problem is the passenger seat—

When that passenger seat window lowered, Qianming representing poked his head out to greet them in not-so-relaxed posture, Aomo should express respect.

Being conspicuous for girls is generally not a problem, the intent is speeding not transport, so the rear seat space of the sports car not being large is also enough to squeeze in four not-fat girls, only the relatively most petite Chazuo will generally be surrounded by medium, large, extra-large cups……

This is also not something Aomo should be considering.

These people are all going to the classroom.

Even Ailisuzhi, who often skips class long-term, will go to the classroom on the first day of school to check in and personally confirm the faces of the potential test subjects.

However, Aomo is going to the school's conference room.

Tressen does not hold opening ceremonies, but the trainers obviously all need to attend a meeting.

It's just that, not needing to call up the meeting for the person in charge of the horse girls, it should be some boring leadership speeches.

In fact, he had already seen colleagues discussing this in the chat room early that morning, even encouraging people to take leave.

【Life, the point is participation: Skip meeting team 3q1! Hui Er, do you want to join too!】

【Always obsessed with data: I'll ask the shrine, let her robot roll the success rate】

【I'm maybe: I'm not joining, something bad will definitely happen】

【Space Cat Head: Can you stop obsessing over bad luck like your person in charge, James? Believe luck is conserved—today is the time to turn things around!】

Come on! Follow me to bait the spot! I allow you to temporarily replace Nebula as the helmsman!】

【Great opera! Weird opera: Can you bring me one? I'm setting sail!】

【Eating, playing ball, bathing… but… seems like I forgot something: No, you guys should at least write a leave note, don't be so reckless that everyone gets inspected by the chairperson again】

【Great opera! Weird opera: That's called inspection? That's called friendship happening! Give you a boost in training motivation!】

【Eating, playing ball, bathing… but… seems like I forgot something: Who can silence King Wave?】

【I'm definitely broke: Aomo, don't follow them, they can do it but you can't—go leave a good impression for the chairperson】

The old-timers all have their own ways to avoid meetings, while newcomers have no choice but to save face for the leaders—this workplace scene is also practiced in the central region, let alone central Tressen, which has long shown many traces of the Jidong area.

Considering the hierarchy in the Jidong workplace, Aomo is obviously the least qualified to take leave, to the extent that Xizaki Feng specifically named him, hoping he wouldn't have a 'bad start at work'.

But……

The next second, —Thus line: JunChuan JiangSheng entered the chat room——— system notification, could make all the old-timers speechless for a moment, even fumbling to retract their messages.

【Thus line: JunChuan JiangSheng: Excuse me, although I understand everyone's effort in listening to the chairperson's words, but this meeting must be attended by all of you】

【For survival, stay strong: Is it related to those strange vehicles in the parking lot? Looks like a big shot is attending】

【Thus line: JunChuan JiangSheng: This angle of entry… Aomo trainer?】

【I'm definitely broke: It's him, and I'm Afeng, JiangSheng】

【Not Kirishima-in: Don't turn the notice into catching up, Xizaki Feng】

【I'm definitely broke: Oh, this place isn't somewhere serious, don't be so rigid, Mitada.

You say so, right, Aomo】

【For survival, stay strong: It's me, Aomo Lindun, is that the URA association's vehicle?】

【Trickstar: Laughed, you're being ignored, Afeng】

【I'm definitely broke: URA has come, what is this meeting for? Is it finally time for reform?】

【Training Master: How did you jump straight to this premise? Is what Lindun trainer said correct?】

【Thus line: JunChuan JiangSheng: Um… specifics will be discussed when everyone arrives at the venue, this involves the entire Flash Series, even the chairperson wouldn't speak rashly】

【For survival, stay strong: It seems reform is indeed coming】

【I'm definitely broke: It seems reform is indeed coming】

【Not Kirishima-in: It seems reform is indeed coming】

【Always obsessed with data: It seems reform is indeed coming】

【Xiaoki Takemi: It seems reform is indeed coming】

【Thus line: JunChuan JiangSheng: Everyone!
