Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Kirisu Mafuyu said with a serious expression.

Before Jolyne told her that Shiina Mahiru would also be coming to eat, Kirisu Mafuyu didn't even know that this student lived downstairs.

Shiina Mahiru is the class president, and I have a lot of contact with her at school. The thought of my authoritative image being shattered makes Kirisu Mafuyu just want to hide in her room.

"Actually, you probably lost all your authority in front of Shiina-kun a long time ago, right?"

Jolyne reminded her.

Kirisu Mafuyu's face flushed red; she refused to accept this fact.

Jolyne continued, "Shiina Mahiru lives downstairs. She must have seen how disheveled you look a long time ago."

With a hint of seduction, Jolyne knew that Kirisu-sensei was already tempted. In fact, she also wanted to go to dinner, but she was afraid of losing face.

"To prevent her from telling anyone, we must first build a good relationship with her, and this dinner is the opportunity."

"It's over, it's over..."

I'm very reluctant to accept it, but what Jolyne said is very likely true.

Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu was swayed by Jolyne. The thought that her image in front of Shiina Mahiru had been completely shattered made Kirisu Mafuyu wish she could resign immediately.

Let's go to Jolyne's house for dinner!

Then he asked Shiina to keep it a secret!

Shiina is such a nice person, she definitely wouldn't say things carelessly.

That’s right, that’s it!

Kirisu Mafuyu convinced herself, mustered her courage, and followed Jolyne into the house.

The electric cooker was brought to the table, and the four of them sat around it. Since none of them ate spicy food, the soup inside was clear broth.

"Ai, eat this."

Shiina Mahiru helps Haibara Ai with beef.

This made Ai Haibara's expression quite strange; she couldn't understand why Mahiru Shiina had become so enthusiastic.

However, she didn't dislike it; in fact, Ai Haibara somewhat enjoyed the atmosphere.

"By the way, why is Kirisu-sensei looking at me like that?"

From the moment they started eating, Kirisu Mafuyu had been staring at Shiina Mahiru with a cold gaze, making Shiina break out in a cold sweat.

Shiina Mahiru speculated: Could it be that Kirisu-sensei also likes Jolyne, and is he putting pressure on me?

This made her a little nervous; the aloof and beautiful teacher still exuded a strong sense of pressure.

But I, Shiina Mahiru, will not back down.

"Oh, Kirisu-sensei wants to talk to you, but is too shy to say it."

Jolyne helped Kirisu Mafuyu explain.

"Oh, I see. You can say that, Kirisu-sensei."

Shiina Mahiru breathed a sigh of relief, but still secretly warned herself: Mahiru, you can't let your guard down yet. The fact that they can eat together already proves that their relationship is unusual.

"Shiina-kun, please don't spread rumors about me. It concerns my authority as a student," Kirisu Mafuyu said shyly, her face flushed.

"Which matter is Mr. Kirisu referring to?"

Shiina Mahiru was a little confused. What was Kirisu-sensei talking about? Did he mean that she shouldn't tell anyone that she was eating here?

"It's over..."

Kirisu Mafuyu inwardly groaned. Just how many things that exposed her image had Shiina Mahiru known about? And now she was actually asking which one it was!

Kirisu Mafuyu sighed helplessly and said, "It's just my usual sloppy appearance, so please don't tell anyone, Shiina-kun."

Kirisu Mafuyu was somewhat resigned to her fate; since she already knew, she would no longer pretend.

Her originally straight back gradually relaxed, and she focused her attention on searching for ingredients in the pot.

Shiina Mahiru gave a strange look, and after a brief moment of hesitation, she said softly to Kirisu-sensei, "But I didn't know that. Actually, I'm sorry to say, I only just found out that Kirisu-sensei lives in 201."

Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu was struck dumb, her body trembling violently. She looked at Shiina Mahiru, then turned her head in disbelief to look at the guilty Jolyne.

Immediately afterwards, everything went black before her eyes, and she fell backward.

"It's over..."

Jolyne rushed forward to support Kirisu Mafuyu, calling out with concern, "Teacher, don't faint."

Kirisu Mafuyu glared at Jolyne with resentment, causing Jolyne to feel unusually guilty.

After all, it's normal for Kirisu Mafuyu not to know her downstairs neighbors, but he really didn't expect Shiina Mahiru not to know her upstairs neighbors, even though Shiina Mahiru knew that she lived upstairs.

"Relax, take a deep breath... Just pretend Shiina-kun already knew..."

Jolyne supported Kirisu Mafuyu's back and whispered comforting words in her ear.

Shiina Mahiru seemed to be deep in thought; so this was Kirisu-sensei's weakness.

"Three children..."

Ai Haibara ate her meal quietly, silently complaining to herself.

He glanced at Jolyne casually and looked strangely at the white object sticking out of his pocket.

Out of curiosity, I pulled it out.

Haibara Ai:"……"

This scene was naturally witnessed by Shiina Mahiru, who was sitting next to her. The dining table fell silent for a moment, with only the clear broth of the hot pot still boiling.

Ai Haibara: He really is a pervert.

Shiina Mahiru: So Jolyne likes this style?

Kirisu Mafuyu: Oh no, I just exposed myself in front of the students. I want to die.

Jolyne silently released Kirisu Mafuyu, took the item from Ai Haibara's hand, stuffed it under the table, and explained, "This isn't mine."

Ai Haibara: Doesn't this sound even more perverted?

Shiina Mahiru: So it wasn't a style, but a peculiar fetish? Is it puberty? I have to help Jolyne change that...

Kirisu Mafuyu: Oh no, I just exposed myself in front of the students. I want to die.

……

The lively but strangely atmospherey dinner party has come to an end.

After seeing off her two neighbors, Jolyne was a little tired.

He truly didn't expect that Shiina Mahiru knew about her neighbor, but not Kirisu Mafuyu.

It's best to avoid provoking Kirisu Mafuyu lately.

Also, I've remembered this grudge against you, Hu Shi. I absolutely will not agree to your marriage with your sister!

Jolyne thought viciously.

"BT."

Ai Haibara came out of the shower, changed into her pajamas, and passed by him.

Jolyne: "..."

Chapter 38 Help! I'm surrounded by problem girls!

"Speaking of Jolyne, why do you have that white card? Are you really not a member of the organization?"

Ai Haibara still couldn't suppress her doubts and wanted to find out the answer after the outsiders left.

"Can't every player buy it?"

Jolyne asked curiously.

As long as you're a player, you can buy this item in the park.

He didn't understand why Ai Haibara would ask such a strange question.

"Players? What are those?"

To everyone's surprise, Ai Haibara was completely bewildered and didn't quite understand what Jolyne was talking about.

Jolyne frowned; it seemed he had misjudged something.

Seeing how skillfully Ai Haibara used the props in the park, he assumed that she had already been exposed to them within the organization.

As it turns out, Ai Haibara didn't know? She even thought it was something unique to the Black Organization!

Jolyne fell into deep thought.

He then raised his hand, and golden light emanated from his palm, entangling Ai Haibara.

Jolyne, displaying his Golden Light Mantra, asked, "In all your years in the organization, haven't you ever seen anyone with special abilities?"

"You mean this kind of player?"

Ai Haibara thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few people in the organization with special abilities, but they are all referred to as 'that kind of existence.' At least I've never heard of players being called that."

"Ai, are there many people like those in the Black Organization?"

"Codename members and some special positions all have special abilities, especially Gin. Just getting close to him gives me the creeps..."

"I remember you were also a codename member."

"I'm just a prisoner of the organization."

Ai Haibara was somewhat speechless. Although she had been in the organization for so many years and had always tried to find out where their special abilities and items came from, she was always sternly warned.

Jolyne realized she had been careless and reluctantly began to explain what a player was: "A player is someone chosen by a place called Paradise... They complete tasks to gain abilities and items... Players will acquire aptitude..."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the strange creatures the organization gave me to study were all dead, with no living ones."

Ai Haibara pondered thoughtfully. She was merely a prisoner and tool responsible for research, possessing no loyalty whatsoever to the organization.

No wonder they didn't reveal any information to her.

"Then, can I become a player? I want to gain power."

Ai Haibara looked at Jolyne expectantly, desperately wanting power in the face of pressure from the organization.

"Looking at you now, you still want to become a player? Are you planning to die in the trial?"

Jolyne advised Ai Haibara to assess her own abilities, as the trial missions varied and might even involve fighting beasts to the death.

With her tiny arms and legs, is Ai Haibara planning to gamble her life at the amusement park?

Looking at her small body, Ai Haibara temporarily suppressed the matter in her heart and did not mention becoming a player again.

……

Late night

Ai Haibara, wearing pink bunny pajamas, occupied Jolyne's bed and was playing on her laptop.

Jolyne is trying to see if she can use her invisibility skill to hide the light emitted when the Golden Light Spell is activated.

"Jolyne, why did you bring it back for me?"

Ai Haibara closed her laptop, turned over to look at Jolyne, and asked casually.

"In fact, I originally thought that as a code name member of the Black Organization, you would know more about the Black Organization, which is why I brought you home."

"Who knew you didn't even know what a player was?"

Jolyne yawned and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I'm so sorry that I can't help you with anything."

Ai Haibara covered herself with the blanket and said unhappily.

After a while, Ai Haibara popped out again and couldn't help but ask Jolyne, "Anyway, I'm useless now, are you going to kick me out?"

Why should I kick you out?

Another problem girl, Jolyne sighed inwardly.
