The correct attacking posture of Shirai Kuroko

"So, I feel helpless about bringing you to this kind of [boy-girl cafe]~"

"... Let's end this topic as soon as possible." Not wanting to continue discussing this strange topic about effeminate men with Wang Cheng, whose hobbies had gone astray like a certain crosstalk actor wearing his underpants, Chen Zixuan immediately changed the direction of the conversation among the three people at their table.

Bringing back to the table what they should be discussing right now.

"Well, Lao Wang, is what you said before true? Is Zhou Yaxue really on our side?" Chen Zixuan asked the question that he was concerned about again.

When faced with Chen Zixuan's repeated questioning, Wang Cheng's answer was still so affirmative.

"It's probably true. I think she just likes you so much. No matter how much she wants your little high-ranking loli to leave you, she won't joke about the safety of millions of people. Although Zhou Yaxue is a little dumber than you, she's not stupid and she doesn't have a bad personality. She knows how to act."

"Are you kidding about the safety of millions of people?" Although Wang Cheng's answer was very casual, Chen Zixuan, who had been influenced by the business world for several years and had a deep understanding of the art of language, immediately grasped the key points in Wang Cheng's words!

Speaking of which, although he knew before that Miss Kuroko wanted to successfully return to Academy City by building a hadron collider and then creating the so-called [space-time channel].

But as a recent economics graduate from a second-rate university, he really had no idea how to implement it.

"What do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple~ Don't you know it yet? According to your family's idea, the most direct and convenient way to travel through space to reach another dimension is to create a controllable microscopic black hole to forcibly smash a hole in the microscopic space, and then use huge energy to expand the hole to be large enough for people to pass through. And according to what Zhou Yaxue told me, the smartphones we have sold in the past few years and the quantum computer now placed in the company's top laboratory are all prepared for this crazy experimental plan."

After listening to Wang Cheng's words, Chen Zixuan also understood some of the basic principles of the [space-time wormhole] that Miss Heizi wanted to create, and also knew the dangers involved.

Although he himself has learned little about physics over the years, as a modern person, he still has some understanding of the most basic physics knowledge that he should have as a guy who did not graduate from a physics major.

Judging from Wang Cheng's retelling of Zhou Yaxue's statement, Miss Heizi's plan is actually nothing more than comparing the space between the two worlds to a wall, and the most direct way to pass through this wall is not to install a door for people to pass through, but to directly get a hammer to smash the wall.

Yes, the space-time that separates the world of Academy City from the world they are in now is a wall, and the microscopic black hole that Miss Kuroko wants to create through the hadron collider is the hammer!

And it is definitely a hammer that can deal 80 damage with one blow!

It's simple, it's violent, but also dangerous!

Are you kidding me! Can you mess around with something like a black hole?! Aren't you afraid of encountering some unpredictable problems in the process with such a violent approach?!

Thinking of this, Chen Zixuan, who had already understood the danger, couldn't help but frown deeply.

"So...what's the reason why Zhou Yaxue turned against Heizi?"

Although the reason why Zhou Yaxue turned against Miss Heizi was clear from the fact that Miss Heizi wanted to create a black hole, Chen Zixuan, who had already understood it all, still asked this question.

Why is this? The reason is actually very simple!

That is, even if Zhou Yaxue does not defect to their side, they will go back and try their best to stop Miss Heizi's experimental plan. Even if Zhou Yaxue does not participate in their side, as long as she withdraws from Miss Heizi's side and remains neutral, no one will blame her!

Why would she choose to deliberately help this group of people when she could choose to remain neutral?

That’s right! Chen Zixuan was asking a question about the effect, a question about what problems Zhou Yaxue’s participation could help their group with!

A question about what role Zhou Yaxue can play after joining their side.

"As for this, according to Zhou Yaxue, if we use hacking methods to stop your family member, it may cause the black hole or [space wormhole] created by your family member to go out of control, so..."

"so?"

"So she turned against us to give us the [off key] for the [space-time channel] that your family member wanted to open~"

"Off button?"

As Chen Zixuan continued to question him in confusion, Wang Cheng slowly reached into his pocket and took out a small piece of paper. This small piece of paper was the one that Zhou Yaxue had given him not long ago in the name of delivering company documents.

"That's it~"

Chapter 426: This is not necessarily true~

"Kuroko thought you wouldn't come~"

It is also a coffee shop, but the word "male lady" is not written on the sign of the coffee shop.

After seeing clearly who was coming, Miss Heizi, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time and was sitting on a European-style wooden rattan chair, asked the person in a half-teasing tone.

However, in response to Miss Heizi's question, the visitor did not respond in time. She first sat down opposite Miss Heizi, then carefully placed a black leather bag on her shoulder and her coat on the back of the rattan chair where she was sitting and the glass table in front of her, and then turned her gaze to Heizi who was facing her.

"So, Mr. Bai, what is the matter that you want to see me privately?"

"Boss Bai...even the way you address me has changed~Haven't you always called me Heizi in private these years?"

"..."Faced with Heizi's slightly provocative question, the visitor did not speak, but just looked at Heizi with a calm look in his eyes and a slightly arrogant smile.

"Forget it~ It doesn't matter. Anyway, there are some questions in the following topic that you can't avoid even if you want to~ So, before we start~ What would you like to drink? Cat shit? If you don't answer, I'll give you this?"

"...Although I heard it tastes good, I still can't accept the setting of that thing!"

Finally, after hearing that Miss Heizi wanted to order him a cup of civet coffee, which he had never been able to get used to since he was a child, or had a psychological resistance to, the guy who had seemed ready to play deaf and dumb in front of Miss Heizi since he sat down finally spoke.

"I thought you would play dumb the whole time with Kuroko~ Kuroko's rival and secretary~"

Miss Heizi, holding the menu in her hand and still with a slightly arrogant smile like that of a young lady on her face, casually pointed out the other party's identity at this moment.

That's right! The woman who was invited by Miss Heizi to meet privately today! She used to be Chen Zixuan's secretary. Later, because of her emotional problems with Chen Zixuan, she was targeted by Miss Heizi, Chen Zixuan's wife. After the successful establishment of the Heiqin mobile phone company, Miss Heizi, Chen Zixuan's wife, transferred her to be his secretary out of selfish motives!

After casually ordering a cappuccino for Zhou Yaxue, Miss Heizi put down the menu in her hand and looked again at Zhou Yaxue who was sitting opposite her.

His eyes were filled with a sense of confidence in winning!

Or is it that Miss Heizi is always so confident when she is serious?

"So, do you know why Kuroko wanted to meet you alone this time?" Miss Kuroko asked after finishing the task of ordering food and exchanging pleasantries.

Facing Miss Heizi's question, which was rather aggressive or showed that she did not regard anyone as an opponent qualified to fight with her, Zhou Yaxue, with a calm expression, just shook her head slowly at her.

"I don't know, but it should be something very important, right?"

“It’s really important~”

Looking at Zhou Yaxue who seemed to be pretending to be ignorant, and seemed to really not know the reason why she chose to have a try meeting with her, Miss Heizi nodded, and did not rush to answer. Instead, she turned her head with a nonchalant look at the pedestrians passing by the window on the crosswalk outside the coffee shop window, and reached out to pick up the glass of water on the glass table in front of her that the waiter of the coffee shop brought her when she entered the coffee shop and sat down.

I took a sip...

"The experiment has come to an end. According to the report of Dr. Wei from the laboratory, Heizi will leave soon. You are about to win the battle. But why, at this critical moment when you are about to win everything that Heizi has now, you betrayed Heizi and chose to help the robber you always wanted to steal from him?"

Miss Heizi asked this, and when she said the word "robber", her gaze moved back from outside the window to Zhou Yaxue's face, who was still looking at her expressionlessly.

However, facing Miss Heizi's question which seemed like a question, but also seemed casual and relaxed like a chat between friends, Zhou Yaxue did not choose to answer directly at this moment.

Instead, she asked a question to the Heizi who was questioning her.

"It's still the same question, are you really willing to give it up?"

"Whether you are willing to give it up or not, what does it matter? You know what Heizi has been pursuing for the past three years. You are helping Heizi just to get what you want. Why do you not want the [thing] that you have been looking forward to for three years and are about to get? Or are you the kind of person that people always like to talk about, who only enjoys the process of pursuit and disdains the result?"

"Stop lying!"

boom!

Zhou Yaxue suddenly slapped the glass table in front of her in anger. The body that was originally sitting opposite Miss Heizi stood up from the chair involuntarily as her emotions fluctuated.

The loud noise attracted the attention of countless people in the surrounding coffee shops. However, facing so many people's gazes and attentions, Zhou Yaxue, who would have blushed and apologized to the people around her out of shyness three years ago, did not care at all.

He still used that calm look that had turned into a serious one with a hint of anger as he stared directly at the petite opponent in front of him who had been fighting openly and secretly for three years over the ownership of Chen Zixuan!

"You can't bear it! I can tell from your sarcastic attitude towards me that you just can't bear it at all!" Zhou Yaxue's words were extremely serious, and she seemed to want to tear apart the disguise of Miss Heizi through this seriousness.

However, Miss Kuroko, who had been hesitating for the past three years about how to choose between Chen Zixuan and the older sister in Academy City, seemed to have made up her mind.

Even if her current appearance was really just a disguise, it would be impossible for Zhou Yaxue, who had never defeated her since the beginning, to tear it apart under such circumstances!

"So what? Are you willing to give it up?" Heizi, still looking confident, asked this question. It seemed like he was kicking the ball back to Zhou Yaxue.

Facing the ball that the two had kicked back and forth, Zhou Yaxue, who had once again collected the ball under her feet, did not rush to give any answer to Miss Heizi. She still looked at Heizi seriously.

It seemed that she wanted to hear what Miss Heizi would say to her in writing, as she had completely exposed herself to her and there was nothing left to hide between them.

"Heizi, I will continue according to my decision. Zhou Yaxue, you have never won in the past three years, so even if you have changed your way of action, you will not be able to win against Heizi this time."

Miss Kuroko, who was looking at him, said so, her lips still maintaining that confident smile, facing Miss Kuroko who seemed to be sure of winning.

As she said, Zhou Yaxue, who had never gotten any advantage from her love rival, Miss Heizi, in the past three years, couldn't help but smile confidently like Heizi now...

"It's time for a result~ But, will I lose? That's not certain~"

Chapter 427: Things of Longing

For people who are busy every day, time is like Robert the Flyer~

The speed of an Olympic champion is not comparable to that of ordinary people who always feel that the days pass slowly because they have nothing extra to do.

In the midst of busyness, more than two months have passed.

Finally, it’s the first Tuesday in August~

Late summer...

For a Japanese woman, putting on makeup is not just about showing off her feminine charm, it is also a kind of etiquette that should be cultivated in junior high school or even elementary school.

Although as a former student of Academy City, she doesn't attach much importance to the traditional etiquette of Japanese society, such as makeup, but even so, Miss Kuroko always puts on a layer of light makeup that is not glamorous but just right before going out to work or shopping.

But on this day, Miss Heizi did not apply the foundation she had prepared, although there were not many types and the colors were not bright, on her face.

Or to put it another way, it seems that today's time is not enough for her to apply even a little extra makeup powder on her bare face that doesn't need makeup in the first place before going out~

"Why are you moving all these things out?"

Chen Zixuan asked this as he looked at the man in front of him who was busy moving out the various collections of the two anime "A Certain Magical Index" and "A Certain Scientific Railgun" that he had collected over the years from the bedroom where they had lived together for three or four years.

He already knew that Miss Kuroko still had some desire to return to Academy City, and he also knew that Miss Kuroko had completed all the preparations in the past few days. The circular hadron collider built in the quantum computer laboratory seemed to be officially completed. It was possible for her to start the machine and leave this world and return to Academy City at any time.

but...

[Even if you want to leave! Even if you plan to leave today, you don’t have to be so heartless! Can’t you leave me even one thing that originally belonged to you and is worth my nostalgia? ! Is this stingy or heartless! ]

Yes, from Miss Kuroko's action of sorting out her collections from the past few years, Chen Zixuan can clearly see that the day when Miss Kuroko will leave this world and return to Academy City is very close. In fact, judging from her behavior, the day she wants to leave is most likely today!

It was exactly four years and two months later in the late summer since they met...

However, even if he wanted to leave, even after four years of hard work, the man named Chen Zixuan still couldn't keep the girl who regarded him as everything.

The other party didn't even leave a thing that he had been using and touching for the past three years for him, a boyfriend who might soon become his ex, to remember him by! ?

This is too much!!!

Wait! It doesn't seem quite right to say that Miss Heizi, who was sorting out her collection of the past three years in front of Chen Zixuan, didn't leave anything worthy of the memory of her boyfriend who was about to become her ex-boyfriend~

At least, she didn't seem to be planning to take away the entire box of underwear that Miss Heizi had worn in the past three years, as well as all the women's clothing, and some of the unused sanitary napkins and gynecological products in the wardrobe~

If these things were deliberately left by Miss Heizi to her current boyfriend who is about to become her ex-boyfriend as souvenirs for him to remember her current girlfriend who is about to become his ex-girlfriend, it doesn't seem too much from the perspective of the setting~

but...

[As a normal man without any special or bad habits, who the hell would be idle all day long and just sit alone in an empty house with his ex-girlfriend's stockings and panties, listening to "Happy Breakup" with melancholy and reminiscing about the past! That picture is too incongruous! ]

Well, with regard to Miss Heizi's current behavior, even on such a critical day that may very likely affect his future fate, Chen Zixuan could not control the strong desire in his heart to complain.

After all, if tomorrow after Miss Kuroko leaves, he, who has not yet recovered from the sadness of Miss Kuroko's departure and the memories created by the past with Miss Kuroko, has to face a pair of lace panties, silk stockings and unused sanitary napkins that remind him of her, and is extremely depressed, how miserable that would be!

It was so tragic that even if Chen Zixuan's loyal brothers, who would risk their lives for him at his word, saw this scene, they probably wouldn't show sympathy to him whose wife had just run away with all the private goods she had collected over the past few years, right? !

Maybe she even laughed unkindly when she saw him holding this pile of women's lace underwear that Miss Heizi had worn before and didn't take away when she left? !

This is definitely how the situation will develop!

"Ah~ I just feel that the office is a little empty, so I want to move some things related to onee-sama to decorate the office."

Chen Zixuan, who was so angry at her behavior that he wanted to explode, but did not dare to because he was still pretending to have amnesia in front of her. He could only look at her actions with a conflicted expression on his face.

Miss Kuroko said this after she had packed all the books including "A Certain Magical Index" and the original novel of "A Certain Scientific Railgun" into a box.

Looking at her expression, it seemed as if she really just wanted to take these two-dimensional peripherals related to her elder sister that she had collected to her chairman's office to decorate it.

To be honest, Miss Heizi's performance was extremely natural, so natural that it seemed as if she was asking Chen Zixuan what he wanted to eat during dinner every day so that she could prepare dinner according to Chen's ideas!

If there wasn't a circular particle collider and a quantum computer on the top floor of the company that could be activated at any time and deprive millions of electronic devices of their computing power, this guy called Chen might have really believed it!

"Just...want to...use it to decorate the office?"

"Yeah~ What do you think?"

"..."

"Oh! By the way, although you have lost your memory now, your driver's license should still be valid, right? Has your driving skills deteriorated? If not, can you drive to help Heizi transport these collected items to the company? It's almost time to go to work now, and it's too late to call the shipping company to help with the transportation."
