Hayase Yuka's call was purely accidental, and the help from Qianxi was an extra surprise. But the crisis in Abydos was not an accident; it was a premeditated event that was slowly approaching step by step. Whether it was the initial help sought from Xia Lai out of desperation, or the previous seemingly accidental kidnapping of Kuromi Serika by the Steel Helmets, all signs indicate that the climax of the drama in Abydos - called a disaster in reality - is coming. Caesars Group? Si Wang shook his head. It's barely qualified to be a highwayman when the protagonist first sets out on an adventure, but it's not qualified to be the demon king at the end of the level who kills the protagonist. At least based on what Si Wang has investigated with his current authority, the Caesar Group may be able to seize control of the entire Abydos, and can easily get rid of Sand Wolf Baizi, Kuromi Serika, Izayoi Nomiya, and Okumura Ayane. But they definitely can't get rid of Hoshino Takanashi. Especially the birdie who has nothing! By then, what would it matter if Caesar Group obtained control of Abydos in a reasonable and legal manner?
Do they still expect to reason and talk about the law with a vengeful ghost? Therefore, there must be someone behind the Caesar Group who can help them solve the problem, and they also firmly believe that they can solve the problem of Hoshino Kotori. Si Wang was very interested in this existence. It's a pity that he has been in Kivotos for too short a time. Even though he has visited many colleges through the authority of [Xia Lai] and the students' commission, and has something as powerful as [Aphids], there are still too few means he can use. I guess it’s impossible to take the other side with you. But the necessary preparations still need to be made. Si Wang took out the [Shiting Box] from his arms and placed it on the table. "Teacher!" Alona immediately jumped out of the screen, her face full of vigilance, "You are not going to deliberately leave me behind and go to those dirty shops again!" "...I think I only went to Furui's store once because I was curious about how robots and small animals spent money. There's really no need to remember it now." Si Wang waved his hand helplessly, "I just went to the toilet." "Well...then teacher, you need to come back soon!" Alona's face was a little conflicted. Even until Si Wang's back disappeared at the end of the corridor, she still couldn't muster up the courage to say "Take me with you". "Why do I feel like this cheat is more troublesome than not having it at all?" Si Wang sighed and called out to his Aphid clone that he had set free outside. "Could it be that God saw the world I traveled through as too simple and deliberately sent me this cheat to put some pressure on me?" Si Wang turned on the faucet on the sink and started washing his hands. It seemed as if all of a sudden, a living mist floated into the bathroom, filling every corner. In the reflection of the mirror hanging on the wall, they began to rotate in circles around Si Wang, like a slowly moving grinding wheel. But in Si Wang's eyes, these hazy mists like steam were composed of large groups of red insects that were invisible to the naked eye. Their appearance is roughly the same as that of aphids, with six legs, two wings, sharp jaws, and two compound eyes. They vibrate a pair of thin wings that can be crushed by a light breath, making high-frequency noises far beyond the range of human ears. They wander around Si Wang with their bellies bloated from eating for three days. At Si Wang's command, they folded their wings and slowly floated down like a transparent red veil, landing on Si Wang's body and slowly melting on his skin, just like a snowflake melting in the sunlight - disappearing into the body. Abydos is indeed a very suitable novice village for Si Wang. It is vast and sparsely populated. Not only are there sandstorms that cover the sky from time to time, but the ancestors were also wealthy, and there are a large number of strange and unattended heritages buried underground.
More importantly, even if [aphids] ate away a building, no one would notice anything unusual. Unfortunately, due to the mass limit that a single [aphid] can bear, Si Wang cannot directly copy a building. As a result, he couldn't realize many of his fancy plans. Chapter 37 Oh, you're blushing~ "I only invited the teacher to come over for lunch..." Wearing a black uniform and an apron with the word "Shiba Seki" written on it, Kuromi Serika slapped a bowl of tonkotsu ramen on the table and couldn't help but squint at the people at the table. "Why are Hoshino seniors here too?" "Oh my, of course it's to comfort Ayane-chan who's still sulking." Hoshino Kotori didn't care about the disgusted expression of his junior, and pushed the bowl of ramen that had just been served in front of Ayane Okumura as if to show his courtesy, "Come on, Ayane-chan, I'll treat you to a bowl of ramen, don't be angry anymore, okay?" "Senior." Okumura Ayane turned her head to the side, revealing her cheeks puffed up with anger, "I'm not angry!" "Ayane-chan, calm down~Calm down~" Izayoi Nomiya smiled and took out a handkerchief, "Come, let me help you wipe the oil off the edge of the bowl~" "Senior Nomiya!" Seeing Izayoino wipe the bowl, wipe the chopsticks, and then try to wipe her face, Okumura Ayane could no longer ignore other people's sulking attitude, she grabbed the hand towel that was about to touch the corner of her mouth, and a "well" character popped up on her forehead. "I'm not a baby anymore. I can take care of myself!" While speaking, Kuromi Serika hesitated for a few seconds, and finally put a bowl of noodles in front of Si Wang with a sour look on her face, "Teacher, this is for you!" "Thank you, but isn't this bowl of noodles a little..." Si Wang lowered his head. The bowl of ramen in front of him was obviously too rich. Thick slices of meat were stacked one on top of another, covering most of the bowl of noodles, while the other half was filled with fried eggs, sauces, and vegetables. He took the chopsticks and didn't know where to start. "...Too rich?" "It's not too, too rich! This is to thank you, I specially... troubled General Chai to make it!" Si Wang raised his head and saw the girl looking uneasy. She pinched her apron with both hands unconsciously, her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes dodged and she dared not look at him, but from time to time she would glance at him quietly, revealing her expectation. Seeing Kuromi Serika's fluttering look, Si Wang immediately gave up the idea of putting a few pieces of meat into the other girls' bowls. He obediently picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and showed a surprised expression. "good to eat!" "Whoo~" Hearing this, Kuromi Serika breathed a sigh of relief, and all the tense muscles in her body relaxed, as if a huge stone pressing on her heart had been removed. She suppressed her desire to jump up and shout "Yeah!" and bowed with a smile on her face. "Then I won't disturb you while you eat. Please enjoy your meal slowly~" Before Kuromi Serika turned around for a second, Sand Wolf Baizi picked up a piece of barbecued pork from his bowl and put it into Si Wang's bowl at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Looking at the piece of meat placed in the middle of the noodle bowl, which stood out because of its inconsistent direction with the other meat slices, Si Wang turned his head to look at the Sand Wolf Baizi, and a "?" popped up in his head. "Teacher, the char siu in my bowl of miso ramen is also delicious." Facing Si Wang's puzzled eyes, Sand Wolf Baizi's expression remained unmoved, as if his previous behavior was just normal like helping a classmate pick up a pen that fell on the ground. The girl said calmly, "I'd like you to try it."
"Well, I think..." Si Wang carefully observed the girl's expression and chose his words carefully, "Whether the barbecued pork is delicious or not, it seems that there is no necessary connection between me wanting to eat it..." "I didn't expect that Shirako-chan would actually take the initiative to build relationships with others. I can't fall behind Nomiya!" Izayoino's exclamation interrupted Si Wang's next words. She then quickly picked up a piece of egg cut in half from her bowl and placed it on the barbecued pork that Bai Zi had brought in. "Teacher, please try my egg too!" "Uh... this, that..." Looking at the enthusiastic atmosphere around the seniors, Ayane Okumura seemed to have an illusion that she was the only one who was not good enough. She hesitated for a moment, put a duck leg next to Izayoino's half egg, and said carefully, "Teacher, do you... want to try the taste of the duck leg too?" Si Wang held the chopsticks and looked at the ramen piled up like a pyramid in front of him, and laughed in silence. "You are really a sinful adult, Mr. Si Wang~" Xiao Niaoyou Xingye took the fish fillet out of his bowl and put it on the top of Si Wang's bowl, saying with a smile, "Then I'm sure you will not refuse my kindness~" "You guys are really..." Si Wang picked up the barbecued pork that Sand Wolf White had stuffed in first, and shook his head, "... a little cute." Seeing Si Wang's choice, there was still no expression on Sand Wolf Baizi's face, but the tips of his wolf ears trembled happily. She lowered her head and took a big mouthful of noodles. "Hehe~" Hoshino Kotori wasn't shy, he just chuckled twice, "Then I'll take it as a compliment, uncle." "This is not a compliment." Si Wang picked up half of Izayoi Nomiya's egg and threw it into his mouth, then threw a coquettish look at the girl, "Teacher, I'm just telling the truth~" Hoshino Takanashi's shoulders shivered, and she immediately turned her face away, straightened her back, sat upright and dealt with her ramen, not daring to say anything naughty anymore. But the redness of the ears can't be concealed. Si Wang's mouth corners curled up slightly. "So cute, Hoshino-senpai~" Takanashi Hoshino's pretended calmness obviously only deceived himself. Izayoi Nomiya covered her cheek and deliberately dragged out the ending of the song, "If only I had brought a camera now~" "Yeah." Sand Wolf Baizi finished slurping the ramen in the air and nodded in agreement, "It's like a monkey's butt." "Cough, cough, cough!" The overly outrageous metaphor used by Sand Wolf Baizi almost choked Kotori Yui to death. She tilted her head back and pounded her chest desperately. After several bangs, she was able to barely swallow the ramen that had entered her trachea. The girl looked at the junior who looked puzzled and had no idea what was wrong with what she said, and sighed, "Shirako-chan, next time when you describe someone blushing, just use "red like an apple." "Okay." Sand Wolf Baizi nodded seriously, "Senior Hoshino's face is as red as an apple." "puff!" Okumura Ayane hurriedly covered her laughter that was about to leak out of her mouth, and quickly explained, "I wasn't laughing, it's just, it's just... I just choked on the pepper!" Jingle bells ~ jingle bells ~ Just as Hoshino Takanari covered her cheek and tried to find a place to crawl under the table, the welcoming wind chimes at the store entrance began to jingle. Chapter 38: One bowl per person? Who are you looking up to? "That... that..." The door of the ramen shop was opened a crack, and a girl with short purple hair cautiously poked half of her face out from behind the door. "Please... is there anyone here?"
"Welcome~" Seeing the guests, Kuromi Serika turned around and smiled business-like as she walked up to them. "Excuse me, how many people are there?" "I would like to ask..." The purple-haired girl shrank her neck, as if she was frightened by Kuromi Serika's enthusiasm. She hid most of her face behind the sliding door, revealing only a pair of deep purple eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Please, may I ask, how much is the cheapest dish here?" "The cheapest one?" Seeing the girl's timid look, Kuromi Serika suddenly thought of the time when she was intimidated by a cake shop. The smile on her face became more sincere. "It's the 580 yuan Shibaguan Ramen! This is the signature dish of our store. It's delicious!" The purple-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous expression on her face mostly disappeared, "Thank you very much!" With a snap, the girl closed the door tightly. "?" A question mark appeared in Kuromi Serika's head. Is 580 yuan a lot? She suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known, she would have quoted a lower price. At most, she could help pay the difference when she checked out. Before she could go out and chase the purple-haired girl who looked very poor and shy, the door of the ramen shop was opened again. This time, in addition to the purple-haired girl who came in earlier to ask the price, there were three companions walking in front of her. I just don't know why they all came out to eat lunch with guns. "Hehehe~" Asahi Mutsuki walked into the store with a machine gun in one hand, tiptoeing with brisk steps, "After walking around half a street, I finally found dishes that are under 600 yuan~" "Hehehe, see, I said that the bridge will be straight when it reaches the bow!" Lu Bamo Alu crossed her arms across her chest, with an unfathomable arc on the corner of her mouth, "Everything is exactly as I expected." "Yes... yes! You are worthy of being the president!" The purple-haired Haruka Igusa pressed the shotgun in her hand tightly against her chest, nodding her small chin with an expression of admiration, "Sure enough, everything is as you expected!" "Ha..." Kayoko Onikata looked at the two companions in front of her, one brown and one purple, who looked like they were performing a crosstalk, and sighed helplessly. "So there are four of you?" Although Kuromi Serika was a little surprised as to why four students who were obviously from other schools would come to this remote countryside of Abydos to eat, she still dutifully led the guests into the store and said, "Please come this way." “No, no.” Asahi Mutsuki smiled and waved her hand. The white ponytail on the left side of her head swayed with her movements. “It’s just one bowl anyway. There’s no need to sit inside the store to eat.” "Only one bowl..." Kuromi Serika blinked in confusion. Did these girls' school have the habit of eating two bowls of noodles for each meal? "Even if it's just one bowl, please sit down and enjoy it slowly. Now is free time, and there are many empty seats in the store." "Oh, what a kind waiter! Let's just obey your orders and enjoy this time." Asahi Mutsuki glanced at him, then smiled happily and sat down at a random place. "Please give us four pairs of chopsticks and a bowl of noodles, kind waiter~" "Eh?! Four pairs of chopsticks for one bowl of noodles?!" Kuromi Serika widened her eyes, looking at the smiling girl in front of her in disbelief, and then glanced at her companions one by one, "Are you going to share the same bowl among the four of you!?" “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” The person who was seen was Issa Haruka’s face ashen. She was completely depressed and looked like a hedgehog curled up into a ball. “I’m so sorry that we are so poor… I’m so sorry that we don’t have any money…” "Ah... no, this isn't something that requires such an apology..." “No!” Isuga Haruka’s expression suddenly became agitated, and her voice rose several degrees. “If you don’t have money, you should die! You have no right to survive! You are worse than an ant! We are worse than bugs. We are so sorry!” "Ha, it's too noisy, Haruka." Kayoko Onikata, who was standing behind, pressed her companion's shoulder and sighed, "It will disturb others..." "how come!" Kayoko Onikata had just said half of her words when she was interrupted loudly by Kuromi Serika. The girl looked even more excited than Isuga Haruka at this moment. "It's not a sin to be poor! Please stand up straight!" "Good... good!"
Igusa Haruka was startled and subconsciously straightened her chest. "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. After all, we are just students! Who can say for sure what we will be like in the future?!" Kuromi Serika held the menu in one hand and pointed at the school emblem on Igusa Haruka's right arm with the other hand, saying solemnly, "Even so, didn't you still save up enough change to come here to eat noodles?! Isn't this the most important thing?!" After saying that, Kuromi Serika turned around without hesitation and strode towards the kitchen, "Please wait, the ramen will be served to you soon!" Kayoko Onikata looked at the determined back of Kuromi Serika and hesitated to speak, "Did she have some subtle misunderstandings about us?" "Of course the gentle waitress would misunderstand four people eating one bowl of noodles~" Asagi Mutsuki did not have the subtle feelings of her companions. Instead, she smiled even more happily, "If I have to say it, it's really the fault of the lavish Alu-chan~" "It's not [Alu-chan], it's the president, Director Mutsuki." Lu Bamo Alu narrowed her eyes. With her white shirt and black skirt, plus a cape that looked like it was fished out of a crematorium for some reason, she had an aura of authority without even getting angry. "Please address me by my title properly when you're outside." "It's already time to get off work, isn't it? If you keep fussing over such trivial matters, people will think you're a petty president." Asagi Mutsuki knew how to deal with her friend who only looked powerful. She waved her hand nonchalantly, "Besides, isn't it because of you, Aru-chan, that we need to eat a bowl of noodles together now?"
