Academy City's Puppet Master

But today, Yakushiji Mixi witnessed the real mature version.

So Yakushiji Mixi wanted to ask Kishan Haruki for clarification.

……

Academy House, the dormitory area of ​​Tokiwadai Middle School.

Hitomi Shiranui, who came here for love counseling, was sitting at a small round table in the garden with her object of advice, Shokuhou Misaki.

This is the canteen area supporting the dormitory building, but for noble schools, this so-called "canteen" is actually a luxurious place comparable to a star hotel.

Hitomi Shiranui and Misaki Shokuhou are having afternoon tea together.

"In short, senior's trouble now is that he can't be sure of Xingye's true intentions?" Shokuhou Misaki picked up a cookie and put it in front of his eyes, looking at the other side through the heart-shaped hole in the middle.

Hitomi Shiranui silently nodded.

"Then you can use the classic plot." Shokuhou Misaki suggested, "It's perfect for a hero to save the beauty. Senior, you pretend to be in danger, and see how Xingye will respond."

"Don't even think about it, he will definitely save me!" Hitomi Shiranui said, "It's impossible to see Xingye's sincerity at all."

Hearing this, Shokuhou Misaki sat back down in frustration.

===Chapter 29 Happy to Save Ling Xingye===

Seeing Shokuhou Misaki's dissatisfied expression, Hitomi Shiranui said again: "Actually... as long as there are people in danger, Xingye will rescue them. In this regard, I don't think I have anything special. Shokuhou-san, you are also very aware of this, right?"

Hearing this, Shokuhou Misaki also showed a smile: "Yeah, after all, Xingye stepped forward to save me, it doesn't matter to me!"

Shokuhou Misaki sighed again: "Well, what a troublesome personality. Then change the angle..."

Shokuhou Misaki leaned forward and approached Hitomi Shiranui: "If senior and Xingye's mother are in danger at the same time, who do you think Xingye will save first?"

"What kind of stupid gossip question is this!" Hitomi Shiranui couldn't help complaining.

"Quickly answer, this is a very important question." Shokuhou Misaki had a curious smile on his face, "Just tell me your own opinion, senior."

"First of all, Xingye is an orphan and has no mother." Hitomi Shiranui sighed.

"Ah, sorry..." Shokuhou Misaki said hastily.

"But he has a lot of people who can be regarded as family members." Shiranui Tong thought of Ling Xingye's brothers and sisters, "Going back to the hypothesis you just raised, even if they are used to replace Xingye's mother, I think Xingye will save me first .If other strangers are also in danger, they must save me first."

"Hey~ so sure. It seems that senior has great confidence in Xingye."

"Of course," Shiranuo Tong said indifferently, "this level of understanding is still there."

Shokuhou Misaki narrowed his eyes slightly, his star pupils shone with a strange brilliance: "Then... what if Senior and I are in danger at the same time?"

Facing her obviously special question, Hitomi Shiranui was not angry, but instead showed a somewhat weird smile.

She didn't answer right away, but stared closely at Shokuhou Misaki's eyes, making the latter feel a little guilty.

But mental shock is of no use to me!Shokuhou Misaki quickly stabilized his mind, and stared back without showing any weakness.

Hitomi Shiranui shook her head helplessly: "Shokuhou-san? It's a bit hard to say... But I think it's probably you, right?"

"Huh?" Although he asked this question on his own initiative, Shokuhou Misaki was still surprised by the result.

"Although it has been a long time, Xingye also has absolute memory ability, so he should not forget you."

Shokuhou Misaki said: "It's a bit strange to hear seniors say that... Normally, girls don't say such things calmly—boyfriend remembers other girls or something..."

"Shokuhou-san seems to have misunderstood something," Shiranui said calmly, "For Xingye, helping people in danger is almost instinctive, so no matter who is in danger, as long as he sees it, he will not hesitate. Rescue on the ground. Of course, when there are many people who need to be rescued at the same time, he will also have priority considerations."

"Xingye said that he himself is a selfish person, so in that case, he will decide the order of rescue based on his own judgment—according to the degree of closeness of the relationship—people he knows first, and strangers aside."

Shokuhou Misaki nodded again and again: "It is indeed very Xingye's style, but in this way, my priority in Xingye's mind is the same as that of seniors?"

Hitomi Shiranui shook his head and said, "That's not the case. In fact, Xingye is a very inconsiderate person, and his judgments can only be classified into rough categories—knowledge or not, that's all."

"Among the people he knows, Xingye will save the person he thinks is the weakest first, because in this way the survival rate can be maximized." Shiranui Hitomi smiled wryly, "Between Xingye's brothers and sisters, I chose to save me first. Because I lack the power to protect myself the most.”

Shokuhou Misaki's face suddenly collapsed: "So...does senior mean that I am weaker than you?"

"After all, you are famous for your athletic ability." Hitomi Shiranui replied with a smile.

Queen Bee from Tokiwadai Middle School, a Level 5 esper Shokuhou Misaki, is a sports idiot.

Facing this evaluation, Shokuhou Misaki was speechless in displeasure, but sadly found that he was irrefutable.

"If it's Misaka Mikoto-san, she must be the last one to save."

"Well...it's that guy after all." Shokuhou Misaki snorted.

Hitomi Shiranui finally concluded: "Therefore, it is meaningless to use this kind of question to test Xingye."

"I didn't expect it to be so troublesome! That guy Xingye...is he definitely abnormal?" Shokuhou Misaki complained.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be so distressed that I would ask you for advice."

Shokuhou Misaki usually drank the black tea in the cup to relieve his mood: "Okay, let's change a plan..."

Hitomi Shiranui was also sipping tea, feeling a little complicated.

Regardless of whether Shokuhou Misaki is really reliable or not, it seems that Ling Xingye's situation is far more troublesome than I imagined—ordinary "love experts" are helpless, right?
