"Oh?"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Shi Chen raised an eyebrow. It seemed that he no longer needed to illegally intrude.

"Please get in the car." Without saying anything more, the woman opened the back door.

"Let's go, Brother Chen." Jinmu Qianshu pulled Shichen into the car.

Takina Inoue followed behind.

The three got into the car, and Nishiki Chizuki didn't hold back and sat directly on Toki's lap.

"Chizuka, what are you doing?" Inoue Takina looked at her, unable to bear it any longer.

"What does it matter~"

Nishiki Chisatsu leaned against Shichen, holding his hand around her abdomen, and laughed happily: "This is a rare opportunity to be alone."

"..."

"Takina, do you want some too?"

"I do not want it!"

"It felt really comfortable~"

"Don't speak." Inoue Takina simply closed her eyes.

"Is Takina shy?" Chitsuka asked Shichino, turning around.

"What do you think?" Shi Chen retorted irritably.

"Hehe~ Okay, I won't tease her anymore."

chirp~

Suddenly, Nishiki Chizuka kissed Shichen. She blinked her big eyes, and a blush rose on her fair face.

"Aren't you ashamed?" Shi Chen teased her with a smile.

"What does it matter? Are there any outsiders here?"

"I'm here," Inoue Takina interjected with her eyes closed, her tone helpless.

"Takina, you're not an outsider."

“I…” Inoue Takina’s lips parted slightly, but she closed them and remained silent.

"Hehe~ Brother Chen, I want more."

"Can't you be a little more reserved? Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Eh? Okay."

We arrived at our destination quickly. Even from inside the car, Shichen could feel the strictness of the place. The gate was like a gatehouse. Although there were no guards on duty, there were cameras everywhere, covering all angles without any blind spots.

The gate opened, and the car slowly drove in, stopping in front of the only building.

The building resembles a Western-style palace, very tall and magnificent.

Shichen carried Nishiki Chizuka and followed Inoue Takina out of the car. They walked into the building together, but the woman who was supposed to pick them up didn't come with them and drove away.

Stepping inside, you enter a spacious lobby, much like an airport lobby.

Takina Inoue was very familiar with this place. She brought her time to the reception desk, where there were two female staff members.

"Miss Nishiki, please proceed to the medical building to undergo the physical fitness test. And who is Ms. Inoue?"

“I want to see Commander Kusunoki,” Inoue Takina replied sternly.

"I'm sorry, the commander is in a meeting right now and will probably be back in about two hours."

"Really? Then I..."

"Hey, look! Isn't that the one attacking their own teammate...?"

"It's her. Wasn't she kicked out of DA?"

"I heard that everyone in her team was sent to the hospital."

"That's terrifying..."

Just then, three girls dressed in Lycoris uniforms passed by.

Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue are also wearing uniforms today, but Chizuka Nishiki's is red.

This is the symbol of Chief Lycoris.

"Huh? What are those guys talking about?" Nishiki Chizuka looked at them with displeasure.

"I'm going to the training ground first." Inoue Takina suddenly ran off.

"Eh? Takina?"

"It's alright, you go ahead and take the test. I'll take care of Takina." Shichen patted Nishiki Chizuka on the shoulder.

"I understand, then I'll leave it to Brother Chen." Jinmu Qianshu smiled at him.

"rest assured."

Shichen rubbed her head and chased after Inoue Takina in the direction she had run.

"That man..."

"Ah, don't worry, the commander allowed Brother Chen to come in."

"No, no, it's just that he's so handsome."

"right?"

"..." Nishiki Chizuka rolled her eyes at the two staff members and walked towards the medical building.

......

When Shi Chen arrived at the training ground, gunshots had already rang out, but there was only one person there.

Inoue Takina had already changed into her gear and was firing at the target. Her marksmanship was excellent; every shot hit the center of the target precisely.

Time slowly came to her side, watching her continue shooting at the target.

After firing a round, Inoue Takina lowered the scope, removed it, and turned to look at him with a calm expression: "Manager, aren't you going to ask me anything?"

"What's there to ask?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

"I ignored orders and fired at my teammates, and I got fired or something?"

"I don't believe it." Shi Chen shook his head with a smile.

"Huh?" Inoue Takina stared at him blankly.

"What? Isn't it possible?"

"No... why don't you believe me, store manager?"

"I trust what I see more of myself."

"You saw it yourself?"

"Takina works diligently at my shop and gets along so well with everyone. How could she be the one to shoot her teammate? You must have been trying to save her, right?"

“I…” Inoue Takina lowered her head.

"But they don't seem to know your purpose; they just think you shot at your teammates." Shi Chen reached out and ruffled her hair.

Her long hair was just as smooth and silky.

Inoue Takina kept her head down, neither refusing nor replying.

"But that's not a reason to kick you out of DA~"

"Huh?" Inoue Takina looked up at him, puzzled.

"Put that aside for now, I think I just saw a girl staring at you."

"…Who is it?"

"I don't know her, but she has a bob haircut and some freckles on her face."

"It's her..."

"Was it the teammate you saved?"

"How did you know, Manager... that I wasn't the one who saved her?" Inoue Takina shook her head.

"I still believe in you. You must have shot to save her, right? Did she tell you to do it? Or was shooting the only option? It's just a pity that the others don't seem to believe in your marksmanship."

"Manager, why do you think that?" Inoue Takina couldn't help but ask.

"Because I believe in you," Shi Chen smiled slightly at her.

"The store manager wouldn't have lied to everyone like this, would he?" Inoue Takina smiled slowly.

"What lied to everyone?"

"It was Thor and the others; they must have been fooled by the shopkeeper's sweet talk."

"I'm innocent! I meant it all."

"So many sincere intentions?"

That's all.

"The store manager isn't trying to lie to me too, is he?" Inoue Takina blinked.

"What do you think?"

“I think… I don’t know.” Inoue Takina winked mischievously.

"Heh~" Shi Chen shook his head and chuckled.

"Eh? Pretty impressive~ You're Inoue Takina?"

Suddenly, a short-haired tomboyish girl appeared behind Shi Chen and the others.

"Hmm?" Inoue Takina turned to look at her, her brows furrowing slightly.

She didn't recognize Lycoris in front of her.

"My name is Sakura Otome, nice to meet you." Ignoring the time, Sakura Otome extended her hand to Takina Inoue with a big smile.
