A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 711 Let’s go on a date

Seeing that Lin Wuming changed his apology to a thank you, the girl nodded in satisfaction, but continued to complain: "You know, your current situation is actually very troublesome, senior. Although your life is not in danger, you have been in a coma. Even the ghost chasing doctor in the underworld doesn't have any particularly good solution."

"Do you know how much effort I put in just to be able to chat with my senior like this? I feel like my superpowers are even improving."

"Uh...thank you for your hard work."

"Also, be prepared," Shokuhou Misaki warned. "Everyone's worried about Mumei-senpai, so there's bound to be some complaints and nagging. Especially Yomikawa-sensei, he seems to have a lot of resentment towards you, senpai."

"Thank you so much!" Lin Wuming hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

This reminder is really timely, although it doesn’t make much sense.

But at least you can prepare yourself mentally in advance...

——How about, when you wake up later, you should apologize and admit your mistake first?

Just as Lin Wuming was thinking about his next action plan, Shokuhou Misaki coughed twice, attracting his attention.

"Just... just thanks?" The girl blinked and asked with her head tilted.

A pair of starry eyes seemed to emit light, giving people an inexplicable feeling of imposingness.

It seems... thinking back carefully, this is the first time that Shokuhou Misaki has taken the initiative to ask for something from me.

Lin Wuming felt curious and surprised, but also a little at a loss.

"……you mean?"

With a small sigh, as if she had made up her mind, Shokuhou Misaki raised her head and looked directly into Lin Wuming's eyes: "A date, a date between just you and me!"

——Say it out!
Shokuhou Misaki clapped and cheered for herself in her heart.

At this moment, she seemed to finally intuitively understand Lin Wuming's feelings about "bullet time".

How would the nameless senior respond? After Shokuhou Misaki made her request, time seemed to stretch indefinitely.

After a long wait that was almost anxious and even crazy...

"Okay, is there any place you want to go?" Lin Wuming replied calmly.

The subjective flow of time suddenly returned to normal - Shokuhou Misaki knew that Lin Wuming responded almost immediately, without any hesitation, and of course there was no "long wait".

——What? I was so nervous just now, it was like a joke.

Shokuhou Misaki felt exhausted all over. Fortunately, there was no concept of "physical strength" in this consciousness space, otherwise she would definitely collapse to the ground, right?

In order to launch this direct attack, Shokuhou Misaki specifically chose her absolute home turf - the spiritual realm, and added countless protections to her spiritual will. Finally, she was able to attack head-on without making any noise.

But Lin Wuming's reaction was so calm, as if all this was natural and expected.

"It's just you and me, okay?" Shokuhou Misaki emphasized again tentatively.

"Of course, I know." Lin Wuming's expression remained unchanged, and he looked calm and unhurried.

"You should be very clear about my thoughts and intentions, right? " Lin Wuming looked over with some doubt - is it necessary to confirm it over and over again?
Shokuhou Misaki suddenly became very annoyed. She conjured a pillow out of thin air and threw it at Lin Wuming: "I told you, I won't abuse my superpowers!"

Especially in this matter, Shokuhou Misaki drew a red line for herself from the very beginning, and would never use "psychological control" to find out the true intentions and choices of the nameless senior.

Shokuhou Misaki was afraid of seeing a result that she didn't want to see; she was even more worried that after seeing an unsatisfactory result, she would not be able to help but do something... Now it seems that her worries were unnecessary.

"How cunning, Wuming-senpai!" the girl couldn't help but complain, "You're not slow!"

Lin Wuming shook his head gently: "It's just... I can't imagine it."

In Lin Wuming's view, his time-travel journey is more like an "offline star-chasing" activity.

Well-known characters from the original work, such as Shokuhou Misaki and Misaka Mikoto, are more like idol stars.

As for the tiger bees, after living together under the same roof for a long time, they become more like a family.

As for taking the relationship a step further, Lin Wuming had thought about it, but not in the form of "interacting with the opposite sex."

After all, when I first met them in this world, they were indeed too young... one could even say they were "young".

There is really no way to think of them as "the opposite sex".

But in the final analysis, Lin Wuming was just slow-witted, or perhaps he had deliberately ignored this possibility. He wasn't blind or stupid, and after such a long time, he must have noticed the attitudes and feelings of the girls around him.

And during this crisis - although it was finally proved to be just a false alarm, Lin Wuming did indeed think for a time that he might "wake up from his dream" and leave this world.

In such an extreme situation, Lin Wuming was forced to re-examine his inner feelings.

Only then did I realize that in my heart, those figures who have always been active around me have left too deep a mark and become an indispensable part of my life.

and so……

"Yes, I can give a clear response now." Lin Wuming nodded with a smile.

As if responding to his smile, Shokuhou Misaki also smiled even sweeter.

However, both of them intentionally or unintentionally avoided a deeper issue.

——Is Lin Wuming’s affection only for Shokuhou Misaki; or... will other people receive the same response when they make the same inquiries and invitations?

Shokuhou Misaki smiled, narrowing her eyes to hide the sharpness in them. "No matter what, I'm one step ahead now. One step faster, every step faster. I won't give them a chance!"
Now... let's look forward to the next date!
"I just want to be with Wuming-senpai. As for the location..." Shokuhou Misaki said, "Senior, you can decide."

"I'll decide?" Lin Wuming seemed to be lost in thought. "It just so happens that I do have a place I want to go... but as a date venue, it's a bit of a letdown."

"It doesn't matter to me," Shokuhou Misaki said. "Besides, we have a whole day, so we won't be in the same place, right?"

"All day."

"Of course, this is our first date, and it's during summer vacation when we don't have classes!" Shokuhou Misaki said. "Playing from morning to night, that's common sense!"

"Common sense..." Lin Wuming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Now, your life has long been out of the norm, right?

He shook his head again, getting rid of this inappropriate thought.

"I understand. As long as you are happy."

During the rest of the summer vacation, as long as nothing unexpected happened, Lin Wuming would be quite free, so he was willing to date Shokuhou Misaki for the entire day.
