There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"Can I..."

"No."

“…I haven’t said anything yet.”

"If it's a request from a colleague, then no, because I'm here to discuss serious matters." Li Nian refused righteously.

"……cut."

Wu Geng smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and fell silent, but his eyes began to roll around.

Chapter 128 Various Encounters

Since Kasumigaoka has already agreed, this matter must of course be made clear to Shiina himself. Without further ado, Li Nian prepared to go and discuss this matter with Shiina after school.

But before that, I have to find Kanda first.

Li Nian came to Kanda's class and saw Kanda talking to Aoyama standing outside the corridor.

Aoyama noticed him first, glanced at him, smiled, and reminded Kanda.

"Student Li Nian is here."

Li Nian came closer and greeted each other. Kanda had received a text message before, so he didn't leave directly, but stayed here waiting for Li Nian. However, Li Nian only said that there was something, and didn't explain it clearly, so Kanda asked in confusion: "It's really strange that you came to see me, Li Nian, what exactly is it?"

"Well, I need to talk to Shiina-san about something..."

Kanda looked helpless.

"Then why don't you just go find her?"

"Well... because I feel that it is your binding part after all."

"What do you mean by binding parts?!"

"Anyway, I will definitely not be able to avoid you when the time comes, and I have to tell you about this."

"...I have a feeling that things are going to get complicated." Kanda looked alert. "Before that, I want to say that Aoyama is the one who is in charge of taking care of Shiina now."

Li Nian looked at Qingshan, she gave a wry smile and nodded.

"That's right...so do you need my help?"

Li Nian shook her head.

"Not really. It would be better for Kanda to do this because he is more in tune with Shiina's signals."

"Although you seem to be praising me, I don't know why I feel sad inside... Does that mean it's better for me to go?"

"Because I'm looking for someone to discuss something. Remember the Kasumi Shiko I mentioned before?"

Aoyama and Kanda looked at each other, but it was Kanda who asked, "Are you talking about the last time you suggested Shiina go to her for help?"

"Yes, it's already been arranged."

The main reason was that Li Nian felt that even if he didn't say anything, Shiina would definitely tell Kanda, and then he would most likely go with her - there was nothing wrong with that. Shiina's ideas were in some sense comparable to Igusa's, and Li Nian couldn't keep up, and he was too lazy to follow. Since no one in Sakurasou could understand her ideas better than Kanda, who was closest to her, his presence would be a guarantee, and Li Nian wouldn't need to do the work of helping Shiina smooth things over himself.

Apparently Kanda himself understood this and sighed.

"I actually managed to get you an appointment with that icy beauty... It really feels like there's no way you can escape... But is it really okay for me to be there? Wouldn't it be awkward?"

"But your presence is entirely reasonable in the sense of a guardian."

"I'm not Shiina's guardian!...I don't think so...I guess not?"

Kanda became less and less confident as he spoke, and started shouting as if he had given up.

"Ah... I understand! I understand! Anyway, I will go, okay? I am destined to be a hard worker anyway..."

"Just think of it as me inviting you to have some tea and chat. With a beautiful woman by your side, it will definitely be relaxing and enjoyable." Li Nian patted his shoulder: "So let's go find Shiina now."

"Then I'll go first." Qingshan took out his phone to check the time, and said apologetically, "I still have a part-time job later, and in the evening too... Go back and tell them that you don't have to prepare my portion for dinner."

After saying goodbye, Qingshan left in a hurry.

The two of them watched her leave, and Kanda sighed, "Another part-time job... Aoyama's schedule is always very full. It seems that she has been a little too busy recently, and her complexion is getting worse and worse."

Li Nian recalled the scene in the morning when he saw her getting up early because she was sleep deprived. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "I don't think she can take care of Shiina anymore. Kanda, you should take it back."

Kanda showed a bitter expression: "I've said it many times."

“… … … “Mr.

There's really nothing we can do about it.

"I hope nothing will happen...ah, you're going to look for Shiina, right? Wait a moment, because today is my turn on duty, and I need to tell the people I work with." Kanda turned around and shouted into the classroom, "Lu Sheng!"

Li Nian subconsciously looked over and saw someone wiping the blackboard. It was probably the classmate who was on duty with Kanda today. He was a thin and small boy wearing glasses, who looked very gentle.

Lu Sheng should be his name. He turned his head and looked over here. His eyes met Li Nian's. For some reason, he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise and exclaimed in a low voice.

"It's you……!"

His voice was not loud, but Li Nian heard it and frowned instantly.

The boy's reaction seemed like he recognized her, and he seemed to have a deep impression of her...but Li Nian didn't remember seeing his face before. When she was thinking about it in her heart, the boy seemed to realize her gaffe, and quickly looked away from her. His expression returned to calm, and he put on a smile and said to Kanda.

"…What's the matter, Kanda-kun?"

Kanda didn't notice this little episode, and clasped his hands together apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do, can I go ahead with this person?"

The boy called Lu Sheng nodded hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay, there's not much left, you can go without worry, I can finish it by myself in no time."

"I'm so sorry. I'll buy you a drink next time to make up for it." Kanda turned around and nodded to Li Nian: "Let's go."

"...Oh." Li Nian couldn't remember who this person was, but this person didn't seem to want to be recognized by him. He turned back to wipe the blackboard and deliberately didn't look in this direction. Although Li Nian was not relieved, he still followed the meaning and didn't investigate further. He nodded and turned around and left with Kanda.

The boy called Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

……

……

Walking in the corridor, Li Nian looked left and right, feeling that the direction seemed to be wrong.

"...I remember that Shiina-san should be in Class J of the 2nd year, right?"

"Yeah, but she's usually in the art room at this time," Kanda answered.

Li Nian felt relieved after thinking about it. How could a world-class painter not be recruited by the art department? Regardless of Shiina's wishes, the school would recruit her. It would be strange if she was not in the art room during club activities.

The two came to the door of the art room and looked inside. Inside the large classroom, some girls were sitting and painting. The space was filled with the sound of paintbrushes moving across the canvas.

But at a glance you can see a crowd of people gathered inside, and a girl named Shiina Mashiro is in the center. She is concentrating on drawing something, and behind her are a group of men and women watching her drawing, with expressions that say "I'm studying hard" on their faces.

Shiina seemed not to be affected at all, his expression looked very focused and meticulous, he took the paintbrush and painted on the canvas with quick and accurate movements.

"...I have to say that she only has a strong aura when she is painting."

"I totally agree. Every time I feel that the atmosphere is not right, I ask her to come out..."

"Yes."

Li Nian was in a bit of a dilemma, when suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"…What are you doing here?"

Chapter 129: Shiina's Preparation

The two looked back in surprise and saw a beautiful girl with twin ponytails and blonde hair standing there, looking at Li Nian in confusion.

“…Sawamura?”

Li Nian called out this person's name with some surprise, and suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be the ace of the art department.

Li Nian instantly understood why she appeared here and felt that she came at the right time. Just as he was about to ask her to call for help, Sawamura suddenly glanced at Kanda next to him, as if he understood the situation all at once. There was a hint of understanding in his eyes, and the next moment a perfect smile was on his face, and he spoke to Kanda in a friendly manner.

"You're the one who often comes to see Shiina-san... Are you here to call her this time too?"

"Eh? Ah, yes." Kanda also knew this famous person in the school. In fact, he had come to the art department to pick up Shiina so many times that he saw Sawamura quite often. However, this was the first time he had spoken to him. He was a little embarrassed for a moment, but soon calmed down. Thinking of the same thing as Li Nian, he hurriedly said to Sawamura, "Excuse me, could you please..."

Sawamura's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, and he replied apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't dare to disturb Shiina-san in that state... It's okay, you can actually go in and find her by yourself."

“…Is that so? That’s rude.”

Having said that, Kanda had no choice but to walk into the art room.

Li Nian and Sawamura were left standing outside.

Sawamura stood outside and looked at Shiina over there. He took off his hypocritical smile and looked expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"I don't dare to disturb you..." Li Nian repeated Sawamura's words meaningfully.

After hearing this, Sawamura turned around and glared at him.

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to ask if Shiina-san has offended you in any way?"

Sawamura shook his head and said in a low voice.

"It's not what you think... I didn't lie to that person. I was a little afraid to go over there... You wouldn't understand if you're not a painter." She didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so she changed the subject and asked, "Why, are you here to see her too?"

"Well, something happened."

"Ah~, so that's how it is, Shiina-san is really popular..."

Sawamura's indifferent tone clearly showed that she was not interested in what Li Nian came to see Shiina for, but for some reason she still looked at Li Nian with flickering eyes, as if she was looking for a start to speak, wanting to say something else, and seemed to be hesitant to talk.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to say?"

After Li Nian asked this, she suddenly asked a question out of the blue.

“You wrote it.”

"what?"

"We're talking about that book!"

"…You saw it too? Did An Yi give it to you?"

"Well... that guy came to me with tears streaming down his face and forced the manuscript into my hands, saying that I had to read it. I was really shocked..."

"… that's exactly what he would do."

"So you really wrote it?"

"Yes."

"..."

Sawamura stared at Li Nian, looking very angry and upset. He clenched his fists, his expression becoming increasingly worse, and he gritted his teeth.

"This guy in front of me is the culprit who killed the Demon King..."

"Why did you react the same way as Aki?!"

"Humph!" Sawamura turned his head away suddenly, and swung his ponytail, almost hitting Li Nian in the face: "I really hate you!"

Li Nian was speechless, feeling that she had been hated for no reason... But from a reader's perspective, it was not difficult to understand Amaki and Sawamura's thoughts.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.

When I think about it, I feel a little proud.

Sawamura turned around and seemed to have calmed down a little, but he still looked at Li Nian with some unhappiness.

"But... I'll just have to admit that you are really good. I never thought a big, strong guy like you could write."

This statement seems familiar...

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Next time... don't write a lame ending that will only make people cry."

At this time, Kanda had already walked out of the back door with Shiina. Noticing the situation over there, Sawamura put on a perfect smile again on his face, whispered this, and walked into the art room from the front door.

"It seems that this is also someone who has cried as much as An Yi... No wonder the resentment is so great." Li Nian sighed.
