Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Mei tilted her head slightly in confusion, and her dark purple leg-length hair swayed slightly with her movement. At this moment, in Jiang Ming's eyes, no matter how stunning the scenery was, it was eclipsed.

"Um, licking feet or something..."

Jiang Ming looked at his lover in front of him with anticipation, but unexpectedly, Meiyi's face turned shy after hearing his words, and her delicate face suddenly turned rosy.

“No—”

Mei said this shyly while gently pushing Jiang Ming's back with both hands. Although her momentum was huge, in reality, Mei didn't use any strength at all.

"Oh haha, I know, I know, I'll leave now..."

Jiang Ming laughed and opened the door and left.

"Really..."

Mei pouted unhappily.

"You just said that you don't need to take on other people's responsibilities..."

[What? You're happy for me to dominate your body and for him to lick my feet? ]

The Herrscher of Thunder's teasing voice came again, but Mei had a way to deal with it.

"Ming just said that if you do this again, he will be fierce with you."

Herrscher of Thunder: [......]

It was quite effective. The Herrscher of Thunder was immediately silenced and never mentioned what happened again.

[Do you understand what he just said? ]

"Yes, I know very well."

Upon hearing this, the Herrscher of Thunder instantly stood on a united front with Mei.

【Find an opportunity】

There seemed to be flashes of purple lightning in Mei's eyes.

"certainly......."

Chapter 132: Flowers Blooming in an Instant

May 2015, 5 26:6

It is the end of May and the temperature has turned from cool to warm. Despite this, it was still very cold yesterday.

However, what is incredible is that from the moment this date was decided, the temperature has been rising sharply, and now the weather is like early summer.

It was as if the gods knew they were going to go cherry blossom viewing and cooperated wisely, and the weather was just right.

The agreed time was clearly seven o'clock, but Jiang Ming, who had arrived an hour early, had no complaints at all. He had already been waiting for half an hour.

While thinking about his next plan, Jiang Ming lowered his head and examined his outfit again. Today he was wearing a simple light blue shirt and off-white casual pants.

It is said that girls will deduct points from boys' appearance. Even if inexperienced boys pay attention everywhere, they will still find failures, so even if the clothes are inconspicuous, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is to maintain an overall sense of cleanliness.

Although Jiang Ming doesn't think that the girls he has are the kind of people who would care about this.

Afterwards, Jiang Ming looked at the scenic area behind him. Since it was already the end of May, most of the cherry blossoms had withered, so compared to when the cherry blossoms were just in full bloom, there were only Jiang Ming and the cherry blossoms.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming suddenly felt a little sorry for them. They could have gone to see the cherry blossoms together earlier, but because of the frequent Honkai events recently, not only himself, but also Kiana and other trainee Valkyries were much busier than usual. Theresa said that they would soon face the B-level Valkyrie assessment...

This is a big turning point.

"Ming!?"

Just when Jiang Ming was thinking seriously, Ying's familiar voice came into Jiang Ming's ears, as if to wake Jiang Ming from his meditation, but it was more of surprise than confusion.

Turning around to look at the direction where the voice came from, he found that Sakura was standing not far in front of him, with her eyes slightly open, her thin lips slightly parted, and she was slowly walking towards him.

"Really... Ming, how come you came so quickly? I was already half an hour early. Ming, how long did you wait?"

The voice was not loud, but very clear. However, Jiang Ming was staring at Ying blankly. She was not wearing her usual uniform, but a thin cherry-colored short top with white shorts. Her pair of snow-white legs were completely uncovered, and her pink hair was tied up with the hairpin that Jiang Ming gave her.

However, it seemed that Ying was very considerate and took into consideration that Jiang Ming preferred girls with long hair. Even though Sakura's hair was simply tied up, it still reached her waist.

This outfit seemed to be tailor-made for Sakura and was very suitable for her.

"Ming...?"

While Jiang Ming was staring at Ying in a daze, the girl not far away had come to him at some point. Her beautiful deep purple eyes were staring at Jiang Ming with some worry, and her right hand seemed to be considering whether to reach out to check.

"Ah...Ah! Sorry, I was a little dazed just now, because Sakura is so cute that I accidentally stared at her. This dress suits you very well, Sakura."

"Well......!"

After Jiang Ming finished praising her from the bottom of his heart, Ying's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, she seemed to rationally consider that they should not stay here for too long. She quickly grabbed the corner of Jiang Ming's clothes with her two bare hands, wanting to take him to the destination.

Seeing that she was so anxious, Jiang Ming had no choice but to let Ying pull her lovingly.

......

It seemed that Ying had done her homework long in advance. She took Jiang Ming for a walk, stopping and starting as if with a purpose, her eyes constantly looking back and forth. Jiang Ming then gave all his time to Ying.

After the two of them walked around for about two and a half minutes, Jiang Ming realized how big the scenic area was. Moreover, this place seemed to be the property of St. Freya Academy. Theresa was really thinking about everyone everywhere. This money was not earned in vain.

Soon, Ying brought Jiang Ming to a cherry tree. Jiang Ming immediately understood Ying's intention, because the cherry tree in front of them was so big. Even in Yae Village, he had never seen such a big tree. But because of this, there were still many cherry blossoms left on the tree. It was extremely rare to see so many cherry blossoms at the end of May when the cherry blossoms were withering.

"Thank you, Sakura."

Jiang Ming sincerely thanked Ying, but his eyes were filled with apology and guilt.

"I think you must have been worried for a long time. If it weren't for the collapse during this period, we would have been able to come out and enjoy the cherry blossoms together."

"It's nothing, Ming."

Ying smiled, and although she appeared to look very natural on the surface, her ears swayed from side to side with joy at the compliment, which made Jiang Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Ah...! Sit down first, Ming."

"Oh, then I'll set the table."

After saying that, Jiang Ming's originally empty hands suddenly had a table and a piece of thick cloth. After placing the table under the cherry tree, he sat on the cloth with Ying and started breakfast.

Jiang Ming and Ying did not make breakfast at home, but brought it directly over after making it at home. If Kiana and the others woke up early, they would be able to see the note they left directly. If they wanted to eat, they could simply heat up the breakfast they had prepared.

Afterwards, the two of them took out the lunch boxes they had prepared, placed them on the table and opened them.

Perhaps because she knew what was in her lunch box, Ying was curious about what Jiang Ming had prepared, so she turned her gaze towards Jiang Ming...

"……What."

Sakura held her breath slightly as she looked at the contents of the lunch box.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Because the lunch box Jiang Ming made today was filled with small, almost bite-sized, cherry blossom-shaped pink rice balls. It was a special cherry blossom lunch box.

Seeing Ying's surprised look, even though it was expected, Jiang Ming still felt extremely satisfied in his heart. It was worth it that he got up at four in the morning to prepare for today.

"Why... is it pink?"

Ying couldn't help but open her thin lips and ask the doubts in her heart.

"Hey, this..."

Jiang Ming pushed the lunch box in front of Ying and explained to her with his right index finger.

"Sakura, although you have been in this era for more than a year, you probably haven't traveled far. The ingredients are usually purchased by me, Mei, and Kiana. It's normal that you don't know."

"The reason why it is pink is because I used pink fish floss powder. Let the rice cool down first, then add sushi vinegar and mix well, then add fish floss powder and mix well again, and you can get pink rice."

"Put a proper amount of pink rice on the plastic wrap, add whatever fillings and salad dressing you want in the middle, wrap it into a ball, and then use a small rubber band to arrange it into an "*" shape. After removing the rubber band and plastic wrap, sprinkle white sesame seeds on it. If possible, you can also place mint leaves and other decorations around it, and you're done."

"I see......"

Ying nodded as if accepting instruction, then looked up at Jiang Mingdao.

"Ming is far inferior to Miss Mei and me in this aspect."

"It would be great if I could take care of you."

"Besides, Sakura's Mizu Shingen Mochi and Sakura Cake look quite delicious."

Hearing this, Sakura showed an expression that said "there's more to it than that". The next second, Sakura took out a bottle of clear liquid from behind her, and then took out two small cups of pink crystal flower cups.

"This is... Sakura Brew, right...?"

Jiang Ming seemed to have guessed that the liquid in the bottle was sake. After revealing a faint smile, he looked at Ying and asked knowingly.

"Huh? Ming really knew it..."

Although Ying looked surprised for a moment, she quickly realized that with Jiang Ming's cooking skills, it would not be difficult to guess that this was sake made from cherry blossoms.

"Of course, if you just want to make sweet wine, it only takes a few days, but if you want to make cherry wine, it will take at least two to three months. Although I had the idea of ​​making it a long time ago, I never made the time. Sakura is really great———"

"No...nope..."

Ying's fair face immediately turned red because of Jiang Ming's praise. Although she said it was nothing, her dangling furry ears told her everything.

"Haha, in that case..."

Jiang Ming turned his head and looked at a cherry tree not far from the two of them whose cherry blossoms had completely fallen, or to be more precise, behind the cherry tree, and shouted loudly.

"Rin, won't you be hungry if you don't come over?"

The figure with a glimpse of clothes behind the cherry tree suddenly trembled, and then she walked out from behind the cherry tree while scratching her face awkwardly and smiling bitterly, and came to Jiang Ming and the others.

"Ah...hahaha, brother Jiang Ming is so amazing that he can even spot Lin."

Lin scratched his head and tried to get away with it by smiling, but Jiang Ming didn't buy it at all. After tapping Lin's forehead, he pulled Lin to sit between him and Sakura.

"Rin, you didn't have breakfast either? In that case, come eat something with us."

"Eh? Can...can I?"

"Today is clearly a rare day for Brother Jiang Ming and Sister Jiang Ming..."

"It's okay, Rin."

Sakura gently touched Rin's head and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"I'm already very happy with Ming around, and I'd be even happier if Rin was still around."

"Yeah, and you can't skip breakfast. Come, try your sister and brother Jiang Ming's cooking."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming picked up a piece of sakura rice ball, about the size of two bites, and placed it not far from Lin's mouth. Seeing this, Lin opened his mouth wide and put the rice ball in his mouth to chew.

"Mmm, it's delicious and sweet, and the filling is... fried chicken-?!"

After tasting it, Lin opened his eyes wide and looked at the remaining Sakura rice ball in disbelief.

"Hehe, that's right! And not only that, there are tuna, cheese nachos, sausages, chicken fillets... there are all kinds of fillings inside."

“Wow! That’s great—!”

"hehe."

The three of them had breakfast accompanied by the cherry blossoms that fell from the trees from time to time. Although there was no real beauty of cherry blossom viewing, no one complained. They even hoped that time would stay here forever.

By the way, Rin also wanted to try the sakura wine made by her sister, but Jiang Ming refused her with the water Shingen cake on the grounds that children cannot drink alcohol...

......

"Ahh...I'm full. I'm full."

Rin made an unpresentable voice like an uncle. Sakura felt helpless about it. She couldn't help wondering if she, as a sister, doted on Rin too much. When she turned around and looked at Jiang Ming beside her, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Ming seemed to dote on Rin more than herself and would obey her no matter what she did. She couldn't help but touch Rin's head with a wry smile.

Jiang Ming was sipping the green tea he brought with him. Although Sakura Brew is a kind of sake and its alcohol content is only slightly higher than beer, Jiang Ming does not often taste wine. He just drinks it as a beverage. However, drinking too much is not good. At this time, drinking a cup of hot green tea to sober up is definitely the greatest comfort to the body.

"--ah."

At this moment, a cherry blossom petal floated with the wind onto the surface of the green tea in Jiang Ming's cup, dotted with tiny ripples on it. The embellishment of cherry blossoms made people look more cheerful.

Perhaps because of seeing this scene, Lin, who was sitting next to Jiang Ming, widened his eyes.

"Oh, there are cherry blossoms dancing on Brother Jiang Ming's teacup! So beautiful...won't you dance on my tea?"

"hehe."

Jiang Ming chuckled twice when he saw Lin looking a little depressed.

In an instant, a strong wind blew up, and four cherry blossom petals floated into Rin and Sakura's tea cups respectively.

"Oh! You came to my sister and me too! And there are two of them! Thank you, God—"
