In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

So... what should we do when we eat later?

Chen Yi returned a helpless look.

Even if the truth is exposed, you will be ruined!

Kasumigaoka stared intently at him.

It's not my responsibility, ladies.

Chen Yi felt a light tap on his lower back. He turned around and saw it was Kato Megumi.

"Did Kasumigaoka-senpai do this?" she asked in a low voice, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"Hmm." Chen Yi glanced at Yukino and nodded gently.

"Do you need help covering for me?"

For some reason, Chen Yi could detect a hint of excitement in those words, even though Kato's expression remained as calm as ever.

"Everything will be exposed when we eat later, so how can we cover it up?"

"You'll find out when the time comes," Kato said, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

Kroos watched the whole thing from the side, her expression quite interesting.

......

"So you mean that when you were in the bathroom, you happened to run into Chen, who was coming out of the bathroom, and you wanted to say hello, but the floor was too slippery and you accidentally bumped into Chen and your lip bled, right?" Yotsuya Miko's tone was strange, like an unlucky student who was chosen to read a text aloud in a composition class, with strangely broken sentences and inverted stress between the lines.

"Jianzi, senior probably didn't do it on purpose... Well, after all, it's written in such detail in the novel, if something happened, she should be able to cover it up well... that's how it is."

Yuihama, standing to the side, tried to salvage the situation, her face contorted with embarrassment.

Haha, she doesn't even believe the nonsense she's spouting.

Yukinoshita had been tactically drinking water the whole time. More than ten minutes had passed since she entered the barbecue restaurant, and she had already drunk half of the barley tea in her kettle.

And Chen Yi...

He was sitting in the corner pretending to be dead.

Yes, that's the solution proposed by Kato.

...Hasn't this solved nothing?!

Mai Sakurajima wrapped her arms around his arm and occasionally bit him, subtly expressing her dissatisfaction.

Kids, can you please leave me alone?

"So, it was an accident, a complete accident! If you don't believe me, ask your junior, Chen?"

Kasumigaoka tried to shift her focus to Chen Yi, but when she turned her head, she saw Kato Megumi affectionately wrapping her arms around Chen Yi's neck and pinching his cheeks.

"I believe what my senior said, it really was an accident."

Kato Megumi's expression remained largely unchanged, making her appear like an insignificant passerby... if one ignored her movements.

After noticing that everyone's eyes were on her, she took out her phone and briefly played a video.

It is a video recording of Chen Yi and Kasumigaoka entering the storage room one after the other.

Summer Vacation: Chapter 134 was released... but not released.

"Pure friendship between men and women simply does not exist."

This is a line written by Kasumigaoka in the third volume of "Doki Doki Service Club". It is from this line that the second and third female leads go from having vague feelings to having clear feelings, and then get involved in the love triangle to try to win each other over.

Now, these words, like a boomerang, struck Kasumigaoka hard in the face, leaving her speechless.

"me......"

"Look, the senior and Chen created a very nice space for each other, but instead of being as gentle as described in the book, they suffered very obvious injuries. Doesn't that mean this was indeed an accident?"

Kato Megumi shrugged and uttered a sophistry that left Chen Yi speechless.

Kato, you are simply a genius among geniuses.

However, he was more curious about how such leverage ended up in Kato's hands.

“Indeed, that’s possible…” Yuihama scratched her head.

Yukinoshita picked up the kettle again, only to find it empty. She reluctantly put it down, her gaze sweeping over everyone, hesitant to speak.

"Let's order first, what would you like to eat, Mr. Chen?" The initially aggressive Miko Yotsuya suddenly backed down and changed the subject.

What if she gets pushed too far and finds out something? If my senior tells me everything she did in the storage room... she might lose Chen Jun as a friend in the future to avoid suspicion.

I don't want that kind of thing.

So Yotsuya Miko, harboring her own ulterior motives, had no choice but to swallow her anger and cover for her.

Mai Sakurajima, sitting right next to Chen Yi, was somewhat annoyed. How could the evil Kasumigaoka have raided her base in less than half an hour? She could only express her dissatisfaction in a subtle way.

"Yeah, what do you want to eat?" Seeing that Yotsuya had given him a way out, Chen Yi understood, nodded, and awkwardly changed the subject.

......

The Service Department's barbecue dinner ended fairly pleasantly... I guess.

At least Chen Yi was quite full, as three mysterious women kept putting food on his plate, for reasons unknown.

"So Kato, can what you just did really be considered resolved?"

On the train back to Chiba, Chen Yi asked in a low voice.

"Well, at least it didn't reveal that your senior kissed you."

But I feel like everything has been revealed without being said.

"And what about your previous actions...?"

"Is it okay for friends to be a little closer?"

But I don't think this is a very intimate gesture between friends.

Chen Yi was skeptical.

Chen Yi's phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Kasumigaoka.

"?"

This scene seems so familiar.

He glanced at his companions around him; apart from Yukinoshita's strange look, no one else was looking at him.

So Chen Yi unlocked his screen and entered LINE.

—It's a selfie taken from a perfect angle in pajamas; you can even see...

Stop! Don't look at what you shouldn't see.

I quickly exited the application.

Chen Yi looked up at the Hill of Dawn, and her red eyes turned towards him as if by telepathy, her eyebrows curving as if she were very happy.

Don't get excited yet, I have something to ask you.

Chen Yi held his phone and waved it, then looked at the other person.

Kasumigaoka tilted her head, feigning a puzzled look.

Chen Yi opened his phone again to send a message, only to find that the other party had already deleted the previous photo.

"..."

How cunning Kasumigaoka!

......

"Scouting Fairy, should we change its name?" Chen Yi looked at the scout fairy on the table, which was a whole size larger than the other fairies, but still within the category of miniature drones, and asked Kroos for her opinion.

"How is the fairy essence?" Kroos replied casually. She was still thinking about Chen Yi's various unusual behaviors over the past few days, trying to find a starting point to understand what had happened.

"Fairy Spirit... that sounds nice, let's call it that." Chen Yi plugged the data cable into his laptop and began to debug the Fairy Spirit's flight control parameters and sensing module.

"The digital night vision function is normal, the thermal fusion function is normal, and the laser ranging and scene creation are also fine."

Chen Yi unplugged the data cable, and the fairy essence slowly rose from the desktop.

"The noise is very low, and the stealth is far beyond expectations." Chen Yi exclaimed in amazement. The unequal-pitched blades and wave-shaped leading edge are truly impressive.

Chen Yi caught the immortal essence directly in his hand, set it aside, and began to adjust the other little guy.

It looks like a thermos, but it's actually a coaxial drone, the second generation of reconnaissance and strike integrated drone.

In his previous life, this type of drone had already been deployed in the infantry squads of Dongda University, and now he was trying to replicate this design.

Lift the lid of the thermos upwards, and the polymer fan blades will pop out, with two blades per layer, for a total of four blades.

Coaxial drones are significantly more difficult to control than ordinary drones because they require proper coordination between the two propellers; otherwise, they are likely to go out of control.

Conversely, if done well, coaxial drones can also provide twice the lift, which may be a double advantage.

"It's hard to imagine that before I transmigrated, I was someone who worked in automation and analog electronics..."

As the sky turned yellow and began to darken, Chen Yi, having accomplished his mission, looked at the smooth, almost redundant code and sighed in admiration.

Yes, all of this is thanks to the Machine Soul.

So he put his hands together and bowed respectfully to the laptop.

The biggest advantage of this thermos cup in the military system of my previous life was its modularity and low price. The one Chen Yi made here, apart from looking similar, has indeed tried its best to be modular, but as for the price... it can hardly be called cheap.

I'll ask the seller if it's cheaper if I buy a set of parts in bulk.

"This thermos can't just be called a thermos forever... From now on, let's call it the Witch."

Looking at the white exterior of the 'thermos cup', Chen Yi suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Commander, this has nothing to do with witches at all," Kroos remarked.

"Fairies and spirits don't have much to do with miniature drones, as long as the name sounds nice."

Anyway, it won't affect combat effectiveness.

"As long as you're happy."

......

Not only does the witch look like a thermos, but she also carries the same amount of explosives. The explosives she carries are more than three times the weight of a single fairy, and she can easily destroy poorly constructed fortifications.

At the same time, the explosive also adopts a modular design similar to a hand grenade, making it a detachable design that allows for easy loading and unloading of the warhead and other functional units, such as reconnaissance modules or energy modules.

Yes, Chen Yi had a sudden inspiration and designed a 'flying battery' solution that could move quickly, without knowing where the specific application scenarios would be.

Furthermore, an energy module can be installed below the reconnaissance module, and another warhead can be installed below the warhead...

In other words, as long as it can fly, it can be disguised however it wants.

However, blindly increasing the number of drones is unnecessary, because it is obvious that flying more drones is a better choice than increasing the number of drones on a single type.

P.S.: I failed the driving test (Part 3). There was a system malfunction.

Summer Vacation: Epilogue Chapter 135

Chen Yi couldn't sleep.

It's not because of today's chaotic experience... well, that's partly true, but not the main reason.

He sensed that he might be experiencing some minor mental issues.

Has the condition worsened?

Chen Yi tossed and turned in the bedding, then stood up and stared blankly at the empty bed.

Was it like this after we came back from Izu, or before we went to Izu?

Chen Yi tried to pinpoint the exact time of the change, but to no avail.

"Commander, I have a guess."

Klukka replied.

"Although I had frequent nightmares before going to Izu, the mental impact of the mattress during that trip to Izu was so great that I think the trauma likely started there."
