Every frown, droopy face, and pout of the girl expressed her long-pent-up resentment. "Just leave it here, teacher." The sand wolf Baizi who came with Kuromi Serika looked calm. She shook her wolf ears, and the gray smoke and dust on the fur immediately fell off in a large ball. "After suffering such a big loss, even the Steel Helmets, who never learn their lessons, will behave themselves for a long time." "After all, it's already difficult for Abydos to feed a few of us, so it really doesn't have the extra energy to take care of a group of bad students." Hoshino Kotori scratched his cheek in distress, then smiled suddenly, "Hehehe, reality is just so helpless sometimes." Seeing the girls' low spirits, Si Wang tilted his head and pondered for a while, then pointed to the back and said, "When I was outside, I saw a few pickup trucks parked in the open space behind the Steel Helmet Regiment base. I think we can empty half of their ammunition depot, which is at least a gain." "What a good idea, teacher!" Kuromi Serika's cat ears suddenly straightened up. She threw her AR assault rifle behind her and ran excitedly towards the place where Si Wang pointed. After running for only two steps, she stopped, turned around, and grabbed the wrist of Xiao Niaoyou Xingye, who was just about to quietly thank Si Wang, "Senior Xingye is not allowed to slack off! Come with me!" "Hehehe~ Uncle is not slacking off." Hoshino Kotori was dragged away effortlessly by his schoolmate like a toy doll, while showing an embarrassed smile to Si Wang, "Protecting the teacher is a very important and energy-consuming task~" "…Senior, what nonsense are you talking about!" Kuromi Serika looked at her senior's smiling face and laughed angrily, "You haven't even fired a single shot yet. The only thing you've wasted is the energy you need to walk a few steps!" At this point, the girl seemed to suddenly realize something, turned around and shouted to Si Wang, "Teacher, I will never forget your kindness today!" Then he turned around and scolded his predecessor who was always lazy.
"Thank you, Sensei. I haven't seen Serika-chan so open-hearted and happy in a long time." Izayonomiya withdrew her gaze from watching her senior and junior playing and quarreling, stared into Si Wang's eyes with her emerald green pupils, and saluted very solemnly. "Thank you so much." "Yeah." Sand Wolf Baizi's ears twitched, and he nodded seriously, "Thank you, teacher." "And... and... and me too!" Ayane Okumura's hurried voice came from the communicator in Izayoino's pocket, "I am also very... very grateful to the teacher!" "I'm just fulfilling my role, no need to be so polite." Si Wang didn't have a thing for cute and righteous girls, so he accepted the girls' thanks calmly, "Let's go over there too, so as not to make Qinxiang and Ayane at home wait anxiously." "Okay~" "Ah." “I’m not waiting in a hurry…” Rich woman!!!.jpg Chapter 13: I guess I'm not overthinking it? When Si Wang saw the school gate of Abydos that was rusted by wind and sand and blown up by the Steel Helmet Regiment. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still a little surprised that he and his group could actually complete such a big goal and get home safely. No ambushes, no reprisals, no raids. Except for the fact that Kuromi Serika loaded too much cargo on her car and it overturned into a ditch at a corner, the whole journey can be described as calm and uneventful. Seeing the pickup trucks painted in green and brown camouflage driving into the front yard one after another, Ayane Okumura, who had been waiting at the entrance of the teaching building, immediately trotted over and waved happily. "Welcome back, thank you for your hard work!" "It's been a while since I've done such a strenuous job." Hoshino Kotori jumped off the car with a whoosh and pounded his sore shoulders. "I'm really going to be exhausted." "Senior Hoshino didn't do anything at all!" The dusty Kuromi Serika, who was wiping the stains on her sleeves with a towel, became unhappy when she heard this. "Didn't you just lie on the steering wheel and watch me busy?!"
Touching the cuts on her collar and skirt caused by the cargo boxes, the thrifty Kuromi Serika felt more and more distressed and glared at her lazy predecessor with an even more ferocious look. "Hey hehe~" Hoshino tilted his head and tapped it, revealing a cute smile that made people feel depressed. "Thank you for your hard work, teacher." Izayoi Nomiya walked over to Si Wang, who was watching the crosstalk with great interest, and bowed slightly. "Let us take over the simple tasks of loading and unloading goods, which do not require any technical skills." "Yeah, that's right." Bai Zi stepped forward, blocking Si Wang's way to the cargo box. His black and white pupils stared at Si Wang's every move, "Teacher, just have a good rest." "Row." Si Wang did not act pretentiously. After all, compared to himself who had been strengthened by the system and Kivotos whose average combat power was still only that of a chicken, if he went there it would probably only distract the girls from their own safety all the time, making them worry about whether they would be crushed by the half-person-high ammunition boxes, thus affecting their work efficiency. So he readily agreed to the girls' request, "Then I won't cause any trouble for you guys here." "I...I'll come to help too!" Okumura Ayane looked at the trio of Si Wang, Izayoino and Sand Wolf Byakuko who were communicating harmoniously on one side, and then looked at her good friend who was about to be pissed off by Senior Hoshino on the other side. The girl held up her skirt and ran over hurriedly, taking two steps at a time. Si looked at the students of Abydos who were laughing and yelling at each other, and slowly retreated into the shadow under the eaves of the teaching building, leaving quietly without disturbing them. Stepping on the stairs, Si Wang pressed his fingers on the handrail, feeling the uneven grooves on the handrail that were carefully taken care of by the girls but still eroded by the environment, while concentrating on the voice coming from No. 2 [Aphid] in his mind. "Boss, we were just raided by the young ladies of Abydos!" A gasp came from the phone, as if the action of speaking just now had pulled a nerve that was still aching, "The outpost has been completely wiped out!" "Huh?! Aren't we almost using up all the ammunition of Abydos? Last time, that dwarf only used the explosion-proof shield to cover his face, and he didn't even bother to fire his gun." The voice on the other end sounded a little doubtful. It seemed that she was the one who almost got covered in the face last time. "How did they suddenly take down our outpost?" "It's all because of that teacher Xia Lai who has been causing trouble for us in every academy recently!" Hearing the boss' question, the team leader immediately forgot the pain from being shot all over his body and gritted his teeth and said, "He brought support to Abydos. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to rob this batch of support, but I didn't expect that he led the young ladies of Abydos to rob us instead!" At the end, the captain's voice was filled with hatred, but there was also a hint of heartache. The batch of ammunition that Si Wang suggested moving away cost her a lot of money and effort to get from the black market. I didn't realize that before I could even fire two shots, the bullet would hit me! The captain of the Steel Helmet Regiment instantly understood the feelings of the victim in the little picture album he had secretly hidden. Bitter, extremely bitter, so bitter that little pearls are about to fall out. "Humph, is that Teacher Xia Lai?" The leader of the Abydos Steel Helmet Group had obviously heard the news of the failures of members from other regions, and snorted with disdain, "Don't come back yet, wait over there, I'll call someone to teach him a lesson right away!" "No problem, Boss!" The team leader cheered first, then hesitantly said, "But... can you lend me some money first?" "What's going on?" the voice on the other end asked curiously, "Did you spend all your money on those little picture books of unknown origin again?" "No! Those small picture albums are the ones that came from nowhere... No! I didn't buy any small picture albums that came from nowhere!" The team leader subconsciously refuted, and when he realized that he was wrong, he immediately changed his words, "It was that expressionless and hateful White-haired Girl who found the small vault I hid in the warehouse and moved all of it away!" "...Okay, I don't have much money left. You know, we've spent a lot of money on secret weapons recently." The voice hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed reluctantly, "You must spend money sparingly! For meals, just go to Shibaseki Ramen Shop. Their food is large and filling and cheap!" "No problem, Boss!" The team leader said excitedly, "I will never forget your kindness!" 【You have received a transfer of 10000 credit points. 】 [Are you sure you want to pay 35000 credits to purchase "~The True Love That Cannot Be Conceived by the World~The Story of the Secret Garden"? ]
【confirm! 】 [Your current balance is 368 credit points. ] "..." Although he had witnessed the unreliability of the Steel Helmets' leaders in various academies in the past few weeks, this was the first time Si Wang had seen someone so outrageous. For a moment, Si Wang felt like a fool for taking the Steel Helmets so seriously. I shouldn't be laning against the air, right? Forget it, just think of it as a long shot to catch a big fish. Si Wang was not in a hurry to get [Aphid] back, even though 90% of the storage space in the captain's phone was filled with crazy and borderline comics. But who knows, maybe we’ll see something useful next time, or the next time, or the next time after that?
Chapter 14 Black hair + twin ponytails + cat ears + red eyes + girl =? “Finally everything has been moved!” Kuromi Serika staggered across the door of the activity room like a zombie and fell on a chair with her butt. She was totally unable to pay attention to her image in front of Si Wang. She slumped on the stool with her neck hanging on the back of the chair as if she had no bones. The sweat running down her hair soaked her pure white collar, revealing the vague outline of her collarbone and the slightly pink flesh color. "Qingxiang-san." Si Wang looked the disheveled girl up and down and kindly reminded her, "Your ponytail is going to drag on the ground." "Eh!" Kuromi Serika jumped up and quickly pulled up her twin ponytails. Looking at the tips of her hair that were covered with dust, she couldn't help but reveal a distressed expression. She is not like the senior who doesn't care about her hair style and lets it grow wildly. In order to straighten each hair, she spends at least an hour every day taking care of her hair! But when she thought of herself, who was already covered in dust from running around, the luster in Kuromi Serika's wine-red eyes suddenly disappeared, and she slumped back in her chair, looking like a lazy fish who didn't want to do anything. "Teacher~Serika-chan must have been exhausted today." Following behind, Hoshino Takanashi yawned and walked into the activity room. He lay on the table in the same posture as Kuromi Serika, buried his chubby face deep in his arms, and said lazily, "Let's not mention these sad little things for now. Let her have a good rest, hehe~" "Senior Hoshino is right." Izayoi Nomiya placed the M134 machine gun in the corner of the activity room, turned around, and said with a smile, "The imminent problem of the Steel Helmets has been solved, and the long-term ammunition supply also has the support of the teacher. It's time to relax and have a good rest." "Yes!" Sand Wolf White took off the blue scarf around his neck, folded it neatly and hung it on the hanger. "This way we can finally focus on the most important issue." "Baizi... Senior Baizi!" Ayane Okumura was horrified upon hearing this. She hurriedly waved her hands to block Sand Wolf Baizi, trying to stop her senior from saying anything else. "Teacher has helped us a lot. You can't tell him about what happened next. You'll continue to cause trouble for him!" "That's right!" Kuromi Serika, who had been slumped in the chair a moment ago, immediately sat up straight with a nervous look on her face, "Senior Baizi, the next thing should be solved by our own strength!" Si Wang looked at the girls who had inexplicably become a group and shared a common hatred for the enemy, and was somewhat puzzled. He asked curiously, "Apart from the 9 million yuan debt, do you have any other big problems that are hidden?" The two noisy people suddenly froze. Except for Hoshino Takanashi who was still sleeping soundly on the table, even Izayoi Nomiya and Byakuko Sandarova had tense faces. The activity room in Abydos seemed to have been paused, and fell into a dead silence. Kuromi Serika's neck turned like a gear, clicking and clacking. "Teacher..." The girl's tone was very awkward, "How do you know... so clearly?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the girl seemed to realize something. She jumped up from the stool, grabbed Hoshino Kotori's shoulders, and shook him back and forth wildly. "Senior, isn't that what you said when you were following the teacher to protect him?" The girl's high-pitched, cracked voice exuded overflowing madness and shame. "How can you say anything out loud?!" "It doesn't matter, Serika-chan." As her head was shaken like a scallion, Hoshino Kotori's lazy voice also had a noticeable drawl, "This~is~not~something~to~hide~" "That's what I said!" Kuromi Serika calmed down a little and let go of her senior's shoulder, but the anger in her words was still strong, "But there's no need to tell the teacher specifically." "We didn't commit any crime to owe this huge amount of money, so why can't we talk about it?" Compared to Kuromi Serika's emotional words, Hoshino Takanashi's words were very clear, "The teacher is also an adult who has really helped us a lot, right? So why can't we tell the teacher about our difficulties?" "Senior Hoshino is right, Serika." Sand Wolf Baizi looked at his junior who had been working hard, fighting hard, and loving Abydos with all his strength in his own way, and said calmly, "Teacher can be trusted." Being denied repeatedly by her respected seniors, Kuromi Serika was filled with worry about Abydos, anger at the Federal Student Union's indifference, and hatred for herself for being unable to do anything and having to watch her future slide into the abyss. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold it back and burst out. His mind was completely clouded by dark and turbid emotions, and he blurted out words that he should never say to his benefactor. "The teacher is just an outsider after all!" Silence, even heavier silence, squeezed into the small activity room of less than 20 square meters in Abydos. Just like using a cork to plug the thick smoke and magma that has already sprayed into the crater of a volcano, it would not be surprising even if the volcano exploded the next second. The moment the words left her teeth, Kuromi Qinxiang regretted it, but she still clenched her teeth tightly, holding back the tears in her eyes, staring at her predecessors, not daring to look at Si Wang's expression beside her. Izayonomiya and Okumura Ayane looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end they said nothing and chose to believe in Hoshino Takanashi, who had led everyone to overcome numerous difficulties and come to where they are today. Looking at the pitiful appearance of his junior, Hoshino Takanashi's anger that had already surged in his heart suddenly couldn't be vented at all. However, it is also the duty of the seniors to point out the mistakes of the juniors, and they should still give lessons. "If you just keep worrying about it and arrogantly push away all the hands that are willing to lend a hand, you will never find a solution." Hoshino Kotori sighed secretly and said expressionlessly, "Or, Serika-chan, do you have any good ideas now?" "..." Kuromi Serika bit her lips hard, leaving deep dents, and tried desperately to force herself to look into those serious orange-blue eyes. Seeing that Kuromi Serika looked like she was about to bite her lips and burst into tears, Si Wang slowly raised his hand, "Can I say something?" The heavy atmosphere in the room that was so oppressive that it made it hard to breathe was easily broken. Ayane Okumura released her hands from her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 15 Do I look like a primitive man? "Hey, teacher, please speak." Hoshino Takanashi breathed a sigh of relief.
Kuromi Serika's love for Abidos is unconditional. She works from dawn to dusk, has three part-time jobs a day, and also ensures her attendance and grades so as not to fail a grade. She really couldn't say anything harsh to this junior who was desperately exploiting her. Si Wang, the person involved, spoke at the right time and really freed her from the dilemma. "Uh... Isn't your school's current revenue and debt situation clearly written on the school's official website? And there has also been a lot of discussion on SNS, right? Why are you so nervous about me knowing about the debt?" Si Wang tilted his head, frowned, and looked at the girls with a confused expression, "Do you think I'm an ape who just walked out of a cave on the top of a mountain and doesn't even know how to surf the Internet?" "..." "..."
