When the ceremony was over, Sato Kazuma happened to walk in from outside with food in his arms.
"Oh, is it over already?"
He didn't seem surprised that Liu Zi was repaired. He walked in calmly, closed the door, put the food on the table and asked, "I bought some fried noodles and bread. Would you like some?"
"I need to eat! I'm just hungry!"
Aqua cheered.
Kobayashi asked curiously, "Sato-kun, you don't seem surprised at all?"
"Should I be surprised?" Sato Kazuma shrugged nonchalantly. "Kobayashi-senpai will fix her anyway, so I'm not that surprised after thinking about it."
"You really believe in me."
A little embarrassed by the unfounded trust, he shook his head and said, "But unfortunately, the main contributor to her restoration was Aqua."
"Really?!"
"It's true."
Sato Kazuma and Aqua had come to the mortal world quite early, and their time together was relatively short. Aqua had not yet demonstrated her powerful talents beyond her duties as a goddess, so it was natural that he didn't know.
"Master Kobayashi, who is this man who makes me feel physically uncomfortable?"
The words spoken by the cute doll are indeed so sharp.
Sato Kazuma was speechless.
Kobayashi introduced him to Ryuko: "His name is Sato Kazuma, a companion I trust very much and also a very reliable junior.
"Are you more trustworthy and reliable than me?" Ryuzi looked at Sato Kazuma with a hint of unknown meaning in her eyes.
Xiao Lin smiled slightly: "Of course! ...It was only like this before you, but not now."
"Ah, it seems I've fallen from grace. But if you think about it, compared to a worthless, lowly human bug, I, as a top-tier Y-series doll, am more trustworthy."
Liu Zi proudly puffed out her chest with the attitude of a winner, although there was nothing particularly dramatic going on.
"I'm a high school boy with a lot of desires, and my type is older sisters!"
Sato Kazuma complained, then turned to Kobayashi and complained, "Am I jealous of her? What's with the claim of her being the first wife? And she's so mean! She may be very pretty, but she has a terrible personality!"
"Sorry, please bear with me for a moment."
Xiaolin patted his shoulder and defended Liu Zi, saying, "She's probably set up like this. Besides being a bit sharp-tongued, Liu Zi is actually very nice, gentle, and kind."
"Is that really the case?"
Sato Kazuma also knew that Ryushi was a robot doll. In addition, he was essentially a senior otaku, so he naturally understood the "robot doll personality program cuteness setting" in movies, TV novels or animations.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
"Since Senior Kobayashi has said so."
Sato Kazuma put aside his prejudice, tried to put on a friendly smile, and extended his right hand to Liu Zi: "Hello, Miss Liu Zi, my name is Sato Kazuma, and I am a hero from another world like Senior Kobayashi."
This is the only title he can come up with. ♦♦ ♪♦
After all, he hasn't made a name for himself yet, doesn't have any powerful cheats, and doesn't want to fall into a disadvantage in front of the person who just belittled him, so he has to use the title of a brave hero from another world to make a big fuss.
But Liu Zi did not shake hands with him.
"Excuse me, I just can't touch him."
Liu Zi apologized to Xiao Lin and said to Sato Kazuma with disgust: "According to my eye scan, I found that there are a lot of bacteria left on your hands. I hope you can clean them before coming back."
I remember a sentence I once heard.
Never shake hands with an adolescent boy casually, because you don’t know how much youthful regrets remain on it.
Xiaolin subconsciously moved away from him.
"Sato-kun, you..."
"Wait...! No! It's not what you think! Kobayashi-senpai! You misunderstood! You really misunderstood ahhhh!!!"
Sato Kazuma raised his right hand and argued loudly.
But his previous bad impression made his defense completely unconvincing and only made things worse.
Sato Kazuma turned gray.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zi completely defeated Sato Kazuma with just a few words, without even giving him a chance to defend himself.
Hiss, could she have done that on purpose?
He said that Sato Kazuma was a reliable junior whom he trusted, so he was so jealous that he used his venomous tongue to provoke him...
He looked at the maid beside him suspiciously, but Liu Zi's expression was normal and there was nothing unusual about it. Kobayashi shook his head and put his doubts behind him.
It shouldn’t be, Liu Zi wouldn’t do that.
Xiaolin chose to believe.
After a while, Sato Kazuma recovered from his grayness. Although he had suffered severe injuries from various languages, he had a strong ability to self-regulate.
He looked at the quiet Liu Zi and asked, "Senior Xiaolin, has she decided on you as her master?"
"Yes, that's right."
Xiaolin nodded.
It seemed that there was still some pain in his body. After Sato Kazuma said that, his mind subconsciously recalled the pleasure he had just felt.
"Hmm...that's weird."
"What's wrong, Sato-kun?"
"According to the general setting, shouldn't she choose the person who repaired her as her master? Kobayashi-senpai also said that it was Aqua who took the lead in repairing her, so why not choose her? Ah, of course, I don't mean that Kobayashi-senpai is unfit to be a master."
This is a problem.
Xiaolin was also a little confused.
Although he was the one who did the operation, the one who gave the orders was Aqua, and he was just a tool who followed the instructions.
So why choose him as the master?
"Can you explain this to me, Liu Zi?"
"Because it was Master Kobayashi who repaired me personally, he chose you according to the program settings."
In other words, as long as you do it yourself, it doesn't matter whether you can fix it or not, as long as you fix it... right?
"Also, I feel that the adult looks dull and stupid, and is not suitable to be my master."
Liu Zi's venomous tongue came late but it came true.
The three of them turned their eyes to Aqua, who was eating two fried noodles in her hands with hearty meals. Her mouth was stuffed full of food, and she looked like a silly squirrel.
"Well, it's Aqua after all..."
"She's a stupid goddess after all..."
Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma held their foreheads and sighed, because what Ryuji said was indeed right.
Aqua looked up quickly when she heard someone calling her.
"What's going on?"
"It's okay, just continue eating."
"oh!"
She cheered and went back to eating voraciously.
Fortunately, she was not chosen.
The stupid goddess is unreliable and often causes trouble. If Liu Zi becomes her waiter, she will definitely turn Axel's life upside down.
Besides, Aqua is the goddess of water who often sprays water for no reason. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't match her with a mechanical doll created by numerous gears.
If one day Aqua sprays too much water and causes Ryuji's gears to oxidize and rust, it would be really laughable.
Xiaolin suddenly thought of something: "Oh, where are Darkness and Megumin?"
"Should it be at the base?"
Although it is a holiday, everyone is still busy.
Especially Huihui.
After the team had a common base, she was very keen on tidying up the room and even said something very sad: "This house is better than mine."
"The hotel can't accommodate four people. Let's go over there too. It's a good opportunity to introduce them to our new companions."
"I've always wanted to have my own room."
Everyone knows what Sato Kazuma is thinking.
After that, they simply packed their luggage and headed straight to their new home which was converted from a warehouse.
