The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 197: Ling Xingye who is afraid of water

Just as the three girls here were "conspiring to rebel", Shirai Heizi suddenly flashed beside them: "What are the seniors talking about? I heard Ling Xingye's name! Are you going to deal with him? I will also participate!"

While announcing excitedly like this, he murmured in a low voice: "Heizi, I must rescue my lord sister and lord sister from his grasp!"

"Haha...Let's talk, let's talk..." Yuan Shanyao wanted to cry even more.

"What's wrong, Tong?" Ling Xingye reached out and waved his hand in front of Shiranui Tong, "The fire is almost burning!"

"Ah!" Shiranui Hitomi suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly threw the lit branch in his hand into the fire.

"What's on your mind?" Ling Xingye asked her with a smile, "This is not your style."

Shiranuo Tong's cheeks were flushed, and he turned his head to avoid Ling Xingye's gaze: "It's nothing... just 'heard' something that I care about."

Ling Xingye followed Shiranui Hitomi's line of sight just now, and found that there were Toyama Haruka and Meililu, as well as Yakushiji Mixi and Shirai Kuroko.

Ling Xingye knew that Hitomi Shiranui had the ability to "read lips", so she could always pick up all kinds of information beyond the hearing range.

"Cough!" Hitomi Shiranui raised his hand and turned Ling Xingye's head back, "Don't worry about Xingye, it's a topic between girls, are you interested?"

Ling Xingye could only look away in embarrassment.

Hitomi Shiranui heard some details about Yuan Shanyao and the others, and learned that her good friend who had only become close recently started thinking about Starry Night!

Although she is still calm on the surface, she is actually panicking in her heart - she didn't feel anything in middle school, why are there so many "competitors" suddenly appearing now? When did the starry night wood become so attractive?

No more, Hitomi Shiranui! You have reached the most dangerous moment! We must act, we cannot expect Xingye to take the initiative!

— Hitomi Shiranui shouted in his heart.

So she decided to take the initiative and find an opportunity to confess her love to Ling Xingye.

In fact, this is what Hitomi Shiranui has been planning to do for the past few days.

Since Ling Xingye "lost his memory" not long ago, Shiranui Tong planned to take the initiative to launch an offensive and showdown to Ling Xingye...

But helplessly, the relationship between the two of them is too close. This kind of time became an obstacle instead, so the always wise and decisive squad leader never made it clear that the relationship went further, let alone how to speak.

Hitomi Shiranui was even more afraid of what to do if she was rejected? At that time, I am afraid that even the current state will not be able to continue, right?

"Sure enough, we should talk to someone, right?" Shiranui Hitomi thought of asking other people for help.

"What are you talking about?" Ling Xingye asked beside him.

Oops, I said it unknowingly... Hitomi Shiranui's face froze, and he could only fool around with a haha.

"It's nothing... I've said it's a private topic between girls, Xingye shouldn't ask any more!"

Saying so, Hitomi Shiranui subconsciously searched for a suitable candidate for negotiation in his mind.

For some reason, the image of Shokuhou Misaki suddenly popped up in her mind.

After a small episode, the three curry dishes were successfully completed.

It is worth mentioning that after marriage, the photon group has no cooking skills at all. In the end, it was because when the sprites passed by, they heard "the skin of the onion needs to be peeled off layer by layer", "shave this corn into cornmeal" and other unintelligible conversations, so I discovered the dark cuisine they were making , eventually instant blocking.

Then, under Ling Xingye's remote guidance, they were able to successfully complete a pot of seafood-flavored curry.

Saten Reiko and Uiharu played the role of the completion of beef curry.

Ling Xingye finished the most common potato and chicken curry alone. Because it is made according to the recipe, the taste can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. You can't expect to make glowing dishes, but ordinary curry itself is delicious enough.

Moreover, Ling Xingye himself is best at cooking big pots of rice. He knows very well that under such circumstances, overly delicate delicacies are not very meaningful. As long as it fits the current atmosphere.

After the cooking stage was completed, it was finally time for the long-lost lunch.

Misaka 10001, who had finished working on the induction cooker, was watching with great interest. From time to time, he compared the shape of the box with his index finger and thumb, and then looked out through the box.

"What are you doing?" Misaka Mikoto who was staying beside her asked.

"Misaka is taking pictures. While explaining, Misaka also took a photo for onee-sama."

Saying that, Misaka 10001 pointed the box at Misaka Mikoto again, simulating the sound of "click" in his mouth.

Ling Xingye said speechlessly: "Stop playing, quickly fetch a bucket of water for me and put out the fire."

With that said, the sprite picked up the pot and was about to go to the dining table in front of the tent.

"You can do this kind of trivial thing by yourself," Misaka Mikoto complained, "Obviously it is possible to do another thing by yourself while manipulating sprites."

"No, you go fetch water." Ling Xingye ordered bluntly, "This is the order of the senior!"

Misaka 10001 obediently went to find the bucket. Misaka Miqin was left glaring at Ling Xingye.

"Okay," Hitomi Shiranui reassured, "It's because Xingye couldn't do it, so I asked you to help put out the fire."

"What can't be done?" Misaka Mikoto expressed incomprehension, "Also, it would be more appropriate to entrust the work of putting out fires to Wannai Kinuho and Pafu Wanbin?"

"Because you are closer, it's not a particularly troublesome thing anyway, so don't bother others." Ling Xingye turned back and said.

Together with Misaka 10001, they fetched water from the creek with a bucket, and when they carried it to the side of the fire, Misaka Mikoto suddenly realized.

"Xingye... is it because he is afraid of getting close to the water that he doesn't want to draw water to put out the fire himself?"

"I really didn't expect~lightnovelpub.net~ Misaka Mikoto was taken aback by her own speculation, "His hydrophobia is so serious, is he even afraid of Xiaoxi?" "

Hitomi Shiranui laughed beside him and said, "It's just that serious. Xingye won't get close to water that's deeper than his crotch, and he even refuses to take a bath. He always takes a shower."

"Shouldn't you be so exaggerated!" Not only Misaka Mikoto, but also the other people who had already sat at the table were surprised at the same time.

Noticing the girls' gazes, Ling Xingye gave Shiranui a helpless look: "I've said it all, I'm not afraid of water, I'm just not used to the deep water environment."

"Even a creek that's no bigger than your knees can be considered deep water?" Shirai Heizi asked with a sneer, "You actually ordered my elder sister and my younger sister to do such rough work, you really are a bad character."

Ling Xingye could only remain silent. Because of psychological repulsion, he didn't pay attention to the water depth of the creek at all, and of course he didn't know the fact that the stream was actually very shallow.

Ling Xingye, who knew he was wrong, simply kept silent about it and offered to distribute curry for everyone.
