Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

He closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and

“There are limits to playing in a band, Hailing.”

"I'm not going to be in a band anymore!"

Hailing was greatly shocked and stumbled back three steps.

Not far away, at the tea table of an outdoor cafe.

Lin Yuanshan, wearing sunglasses, was adding sugar to his coffee.

Sitting next to him was Nagasaki Motoyo, who was also deeply affected by the blow.

Seeing this exciting scene, Lin Yuanshan nodded and said:

"Hmm, Su Shi, this is your good friend. She is truly an elegant young lady."

"No! Xiangzi must have suffered some kind of trauma..."

Before Su Shi could finish speaking, Xiangzi on the other end of the line grinned.

He mimicked the image of the "fake father" from his memory, revealing an extremely grotesque smile.

I'm sorry, Hailing, this is to make you give up completely!

"I didn't become like this because of a setback!"

"I'm so tired of bands! Dominating Yuqiu is my real dream!"

"you you you……"

Hailing was so angry she couldn't speak.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiangzi turned around and ran away without looking back.

At an open-air tea house.

Lin Yuanshan took out his phone.

"Alright, it's time to call the police. Su Shi, you must have been cornered in the bathroom and had your head stomped on quite a few times, right? Don't worry, Master Craftsman will get justice for you!"

"No wow!"

The commotion finally caught the attention of the distraught Hailing.

She walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down, her eyes vacant.

"You are... Lixi's bandmate?"

"Yes. You're Shoko's companion, the bassist of Ave Mujica, right, Hachiman Kairin?"

"That's all in the past."

Hailing listlessly beckoned to the waiter.

"A glass of ginger ale, extra fizzy."

She looked at the two of them and sighed.

"As you can see, Xiangzi has completely gone mad, and Mujica may be doomed."

Lin Yuanshan commented:

"Excuse my bluntness, but isn't it a good thing that your delinquent group—no, your band—is shutting down?"

"Who is this?"

Hailing felt that this guy looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Su Shi quickly explained:

“This is my tutor. He came to observe Xiangzi because he was worried about my situation.”

"Uh, isn't that just stalking?"

Hailing spoke frankly.

Lin Yuanshan pushed up his glasses, revealing a sunny smile.

"This is not called stalking."

"This is called taking responsibility for students' lives."

Su Shi looked at him, hope burning in her eyes: If it's this man, he can definitely help Xiangzi!

Hai Ling looked at him, a wary glint in her eyes: What a wicked guy, I absolutely must not get involved with him!

Chapter 34 The Master Craftsman's Training Course (3k-word long chapter)

"Ton ton ton ton ton---"

The soda made my heart ache.

Suze watched as Hachiman Kairin downed her ginger ale in one gulp.

I'm a little worried that she might burst her stomach from overeating.

"Alright, I have my own things to do too. See you next time if we have the chance."

Hai Ling put down the empty bottle, paid the bill decisively, and also paid for Lin Yuanshan and Su Shi's share.

Then he turned and left.

at the same time,

The second-floor window of Starbucks opposite the outdoor tea area.

Chu Hua pulled her baseball cap down low.

"Sergeant Mortis, report on Lin Yuanshan's movements."

Mortis raised the binoculars.

"Reporting, sir! Target Lin Yuanshan is currently talking to Yawata Kairin... Yawata Kairin has left! Over!"

"Is it possible to listen in on the conversation?"

Mortis:

"Based on cross-referencing analysis of lip-reading big data, Lin Yuanshan:"

There is a 23% chance that a death threat was issued against Yawata Kairin.

There's a 13% chance it's courtship.

There is a 50% chance that she was coerced into having an improper relationship.

The remaining 14% probability is that it's a sophisticated economic scam.

"Well……"

Sanjiao Chuhua stroked her chin.

"As expected of the devilish Toyama."

Mortis:

"Commander Chu Hua, requesting instructions for the next steps!"

Triangle Chuhua:

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan; let's wait and see!"

"Master craftsman, I can no longer stand by and watch Xiangzi go astray!"

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"Please help Xiangzi the way you helped me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanshan couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

You really think highly of me.

"Let's start with yourself. The bullying issue hasn't been resolved yet. Your band is called Crychic, right?"

"That band has already disbanded."

These words, which she had never been able to utter before, were now forced out of her mouth.

"What if one day I see Crychic performing on stage?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

[Emulator Tip]

You successfully manipulated Nagasaki Motoyo.

You nipped Crychic's revival in the bud.

[Chihaya Aine's happiness level increased!]

Chihaya Aine's current happiness level: 20

This hint feels familiar; I think I've heard it somewhere before.

But in short...

it is good!

This simulation, once again, is the most promising one yet!

"Since you've already come to this realization, I'll reluctantly grant your request."

Hearing that Lin Yuanshan had agreed to her request, Su Shi's eyes lit up with hope.

But Lin Yuanshan hadn't finished speaking.

"However, I was not the one who saved Xiangzi."

He extended a finger and gently shook it.

"It's you, Nagasaki Motoyo!"

"I?"

"That's right! Happiness gained through the charity of others is ultimately just a mirage! Su Shi, if Xiangzi is your irreplaceable partner, then you should personally pull her out of the abyss!"

"But... I have neither skillful hands nor a clever mind..."

Su Shi's voice lowered.

Lin Yuanshan smiled.

"You still have your own life, don't you?"

"As long as you are prepared to die and complete my final test, you will surely gain the power to save Xiangzi."

Su Shi was unsure:

"I... Master Craftsman, can I really... do it?!"

Believe in yourself, you can do it!

In Su Shi family,

Lin Yuanshan pointed to several photos on the whiteboard from Xiangzi's Mujica and Crychic periods.

"Su Shi, please find the commonalities among these photos."

Su Shi scratched his head.
