Igusa Haruka's spirits suddenly lifted, and she cast an expectant look towards her beloved president.
"Ah? Just water?"
Lu Bamo Alu, who was still immersed in Si Wang's delicious meal, suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously began to count on his fingers, calculating how long it would take for him to save up one million. He showed an uncertain expression, "If we can complete three commissions this month and only drink water every day, we should be able to save up two million. Let the teacher put down his work at [Xia Lai] temporarily and become our guidance consultant...right?"
"President..."
Kayoko Onikata rubbed her aching temple and said, "Do you think we can survive for a month just by drinking water?"
"Eh?!" Lu Bamo Alu was stunned for a moment, "Is it not possible?"
"Of course not..." Kayoko Onikata sighed, "We are not cacti that can survive on one or two drops of rain as long as we are planted in the ground."
"Don't say that, Kayoko-chan~"
Asahi Mutsuki laughed and winked at his friend, "Everyone should always have dreams. Who knows, if we all work together, we can really make them come true~"
"Mmmmmmm!"
Igusa Haruka nodded desperately, tightly clenching the water cup in her hand that she was reluctant to take a sip from, "I, I, I, I will also work hard with everyone, and I will definitely not hold you back!"
"Hey……"
Seeing that Igusa Haruka had been arguing with the store manager for a long time, and finally Si Wang had to pay for the water cup, Onikata Kayoko felt her temples throbbing even more, but she had to follow her companion's advice and said, "Hiring the teacher to be our consultant... At least let's complete the teacher's commission first and let the teacher see our strength before discussing it. This will at least increase the chances of the teacher agreeing."
"That's right!"
Lu Bamo Alu instantly became alert, and a series of images involuntarily emerged in his mind.
He tiptoed elegantly with one hand on his waist and walked towards Si Wang handsomely. Then he waved his cloak elegantly and, in front of the teacher's shocked and trembling eyes, threw a commission sheet that would achieve the task objectives 100% perfectly on the table in front of him.
After confirming it three or four times in disbelief, the teacher finally believed the irrefutable fact before her eyes, bowed deeply with admiration, respectfully called her "President Alu", and then willingly joined "Convenience House 68" and became their guidance consultant.
As a junior on the path of outlaws, it only took him three days to step on the shoulders of his predecessors and surpass the ones he admired.
Ohhhh, is there a more hardcore life than this?!
"Hey Hey Hey……"
Thinking about the beautiful scenery that will surely be realized in the future, Lu Bamo Alu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hey, Kayoko-chan, is there something particularly funny hidden in what you just said?"
Asagi Mutsuki quietly took a step back, touched her companion's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Although Aru-chan is very cute like this, but it is still quite worrying to see you smile like this in the middle of the night."
"Let's stop talking about funny things and go back to bed."
Seeing Lu Bamo Alu's mouth almost stretched to his ears, Kayoko Onikata knew without even thinking that her president was probably caught up in some inexplicable fantasy again.
Similarly, she also didn't believe that Asagi Mutsuki, who was Lu Bamo Alu's childhood sweetheart, would not know what Lu Bamo Alu was thinking at this moment.
"According to the teacher's request, we must first go to a certain place to get weapons and ammunition tomorrow, and then set up an ambush on the path where the Holy Trinity may invade."
As for these two happy enemies who were willing to fight and be beaten, Guifang Jiayizi had no good solution, so she could only persuade them patiently, "Taking into account the time we spent observing the environment, scouting the area, and selecting the ambush location, we will probably have to go out at dawn to make preparations in advance, so we should go back to the office early to rest."
"Um, okay."
Asahi Mutsuki touched the sides of her black and red plaid skirt, and after confirming that she really forgot to bring her phone with her, and couldn't take a picture, she shook her head regretfully, "Besides the fact that this is the teacher's first commission, I quite like the waiter and glasses from Abidos, so I can't mess this up."
After hearing this, Kayoko Onikata fell silent. A bowl of ramen piled higher than their heads seemed to appear before her eyes again, extremely clear.
"That's right." After a pause, the girl nodded seriously, "Keke can't mess it up this time."
-------------------------------------
Compared to the bustling [Convenience House 68], Si Wang's place is undoubtedly much quieter.
Or rather silence.
He walked with his head down in the edge where the light could not reach. The darkness did not make Si Wang feel lonely or scared. Instead, his mind was clearer than usual.
He gradually sorted out the power he had at hand, the goals that had to be achieved, the things that could be given up in order to achieve the goals, and the things that absolutely could not be given up even in order to achieve the goals.
Then there is the stumbling block on the way forward, which is the black boiled egg head, or the [black suit].
The only thing we know is that his target is Hoshino Kotori, and nothing else is known about his power, influence, or origin.
Si Wang couldn't help but shake his head. To him, the [Black Servers] were simply the worst type of enemies.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to complain about Hoshino Kotori who seemed to be very reliable.
Mr. Hoshino, the other party has been eyeing your body and coveting your appearance, and has been plotting against you for several years!
It's several years, not several days!
Even kids in kindergarten know to call the police, but you just said, "That's a creepy guy."
I don't ask you to find out which organization the other party belongs to, but at least you should know his name, which street and which building he lives in.
Now even if I want to plant a bomb under his house, I can’t do it.
But even if we complain, we still cannot neglect to do what needs to be done.
Each piece of information is stored in different categories, and each plan is made and then deleted.
Si Wang discovered that his brain seemed to work much better since he started multi-threaded control of [Aphids].
Is this the advantage range for schizophrenia patients?
But before the plan can be implemented, there is one more important thing to do.
Si Wang took out his cell phone and dialed Sand Wolf Baizi's number.
Chapter 157 Si Wang is a person who respects others
Beep--beep.
"teacher."
Before the first ring had even finished, the call Si Wang had just made was immediately answered, and the calm voice of Sand Wolf Baizi came from the phone, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I can't really say I'm helping you, but I just think there are some things I should tell you in advance."
Si Wang opened his phone and glanced at the time [2:24] on the screen.
It seems that after saying goodbye to me in the afternoon, Sand Wolf Baizi has never been able to let go.
Fortunately, the story is coming to an end, and all the conflicts and contradictions have surfaced. As long as they can carefully get through the climax, the girls of Abydos should be able to have a good sleep tomorrow.
Si Wang considered his words carefully as he spoke, "Should we say that Hoshino-san is very determined or has a very stubborn temper? Anyway, Hoshino-san decided to go against the wall before turning back. I'm sorry, the teacher couldn't stop her."
"..."
There was a sudden stop of sound from the other end of the phone, which fell into silence, with only the intermittent sound of electricity coming from the microphone.
"Teacher...so we are going to raid the headquarters of Caesar Group now, right?"
After a moment of silence, as if suppressing some emotion or making some kind of resolution, Sand Wolf Baizi exhaled lightly, his voice more rational and calm than before, like a flame burning on the ice, "I need some time to organize my weapons and equipment."
"No, we're not raiding Caesars headquarters."
Si Wang shook his head, maintaining a calm tone, and gradually sorted out the girl's inner anxiety and panic, "Like I just said, I just felt that it was necessary to tell you about this matter in advance, so I called you, not because I want you to do anything now."
"Try to take a few deep breaths and calm down first." Si Wang said calmly, "Anger, sadness, fear, impatience... although they are unavoidable, they will not make things better, nor will they make the decisions you make later more wise, so take a deep breath and calm down first."
"..."
There was another brief silence, and the sounds of inhaling, exhaling, inhaling again, and exhaling again continued to come from the other end of the phone, from heavy to light, from fast to slow.
Sand Wolf Baizi obviously listened to Si Wang's words seriously.
"Teacher..." the girl said softly, "Did we do something wrong? Why would Senior Hoshino choose to be alone instead of being with everyone..."
At this moment, the Sand Wolf was like a little lamb lost in a snowstorm, hesitating, confused, and shivering.
She looked up and around, trying to discover something, to find something, but all she saw was a vast expanse of white snow. Even the footprints she had left on the way here disappeared in the vast snow, and she could no longer see the way home.
Lonely, cold, fragile, and easily broken...
"This actually has nothing to do with you, Shirako-san."
Si Wang stopped and held the phone closer to the girl's ear, "This is Hoshino's determination, Hoshino's decision, and the responsibility that she believes she should bear. This is the path shaped by her past experiences and personality. If you haven't walked the same path with her, stepped on the same footprints, shed the same sweat and blood, outsiders have no right to comment."
Si Wang was not trying to comfort him, or to fool Sand Wolf Baizi with some long and difficult sentences, he really meant it.
Rebirth after death, time travel twice.
A new life, a new relationship.
Everything in the past is like the dust on the windowsill. There is no need to wipe it off with your hands. Just a gentle breeze will dissipate without a trace, and only another layer of dust will cover it.
So he enjoys life while he can, and devotes all his energy to things that make him happy, no matter how much effort it takes; he turns his disdain on things that do not interest him, no matter how many people want them.
So he respects the choices anyone makes and the price they will pay.
Of course, the "anyone" here also includes himself.
And Hoshino Takanashi is both cute and interesting, Si Wang likes her very much, so he will fully respect his own will after fully respecting Hoshino Takanashi's determination.
"Is that so? Is that so..."
Listening to Si Wang's words, the image of Xiao Niao You Xingye unconsciously emerged in Sand Wolf Baizi's mind. He always looked like he didn't get enough sleep during the day and seemed to be yawning every moment.
Why does Senior Hoshino never get enough sleep?
What happened in the past?
Or what are you doing staying up late?
I seem to have never really thought about it or asked about it, I just took it for granted that Senior Hoshino should be like this.
Sand Wolf Baizi's mood suddenly fell into depression. She found that she seemed to really know nothing about Hoshino.
The girl asked sullenly, "Teacher, what should I do then?"
"Be prepared to rescue, be prepared to fight."
Hearing the girl's voice finally return to normal, Si Wang shook his head, feeling a little emotional.
It seems that I have never cared so much about my girlfriend before I traveled through time.
But he still patiently answered Sand Wolf Baizi's question, "Xingye has her own path to follow, and we have ours to follow. If she wants to bang her head against the wall and get bloodied, that's her business, and it has nothing to do with us. If we want to fight the Caesar Group and rescue Xingye, that's our business, and it has nothing to do with her. There is no conflict between the two."
"?!"
Sand Wolf Baizi was stunned. Si Wang's unprecedented explanation angle refreshed the girl's three views.
The sand wolf was greatly shocked.
"Isn't this strange?"
Looking at the phone that had been silent for a long time, Si Wang estimated that Sand Wolf Baizi probably hadn't recovered from his bandit logic yet, and asked, "Respect is mutual. We all respect Xingye's choice so much, I believe Xingye will also fully respect our choice."
"The teacher is right."
After coming back to his senses from his trance, Sand Wolf Baizi paused, then immediately nodded heavily, raised his hands and feet high, and agreed 100% with Si Wang's point of view, "Senior Xingye will definitely agree with our decision at that time."
"So, Baizi-san, go to bed early. Good quality rest is the prerequisite for victory in battle. Even if you have to, you must force yourself to get a few hours of good sleep."
Si Wang stopped in a remote corner. The next second, the [Aphid] clone, like a red ribbon, flew out from Si Wang's cuffs and collar and fell to the ground.
Melting, polymerization, expansion, deformation.
A moment later, boxes of brand new bullets, explosives and shells appeared in the same place.
Si Wang raised his head and carefully recalled the guns and fighting methods held by the girls in [Convenience House 68]. After counting the equipment and supplies in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction.
He picked out a time bomb from the ammunition box, looked at it and comforted the girl on the other end of the phone, "The Caesar Group is not a gang like the Steel Helmets. Even if we face them head-on, the teacher can't help us. We can only rely on your performance, Baizi, so take a good rest."
"Don't worry, teacher."
Sand Wolf Baizi pursed his lips and said word by word, "I will definitely bring Senior Xingye back."
Chapter 158 Farewell
"Hey, Senior Baizi, are you here so early today?"
Ayane Okumura had just opened the door of the activity room and had not yet finished yawning when the almost transparent white figure of the Sand Wolf Baizi appeared before her eyes.
"Well, I couldn't sleep, so I came here early."
Sand Wolf Baizi nodded gently to Ayane Okumura, who still had tears in her eyes, as a greeting, and then continued with the work in his hands, pressing bullets into the magazine.
Gada, gada, gada...
The crisp and cold sound of metal collision echoed in the classroom.
"Senior Baizi..."
