【"Um……"】

[Today is June [-]th.It should have entered the rainy season at this time, but the recent weather has been surprisingly good - it's as if God had stopped raining all last month. 】

[In previous years, the strong sunlight that was obscured by clouds would always shine directly on the ground, causing the temperature to rise sharply.The heat was unbearable, so Jiang Cheng also changed into summer uniform today. 】

[Then - at this moment...]

【"Huh……?"】

[Under the sun, Jiang Cheng saw a figure standing in front of Wuhe's house, so he opened his eyes unconsciously. 】

[Standing in front is a girl about the same age as Theresa. 】

[Wearing a light and cool dress, with a white straw hat on her head that almost covers her eyes.Under the brim of the hat is ocean-like blue hair, and sapphire-like eyes are looking in the direction of Jiangcheng through the gap in the hair. 】

【"Xie'er!"】

[Jiang Cheng will certainly not forget the name of such a distinctive girl.After Jiang Cheng opened the door, he walked to Xi'er. 】

["Hello - Jiangcheng. Long time no see!"]

["Oh...oh, long time no see, Xier."

[Jiang Cheng nodded slightly. 】

["Why are you here today? Have all the inspections been completed?"]

["Yeah~ The inspection part was completed a long time ago~ I just need a little practice~"]

["Xie'er" said this while waving her short little hands happily. 】

【What exercise? 】

[After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Xi'er lifted the brim of Xi'er's hat. Then, the red Xi'er instantly faded away, leaving the blue Xi'er facing Jiang Cheng. 】

[As if quite frightened, Xier's shoulders trembled. 】

[However, after making a gesture of swallowing, she opened her trembling lips. 】

["Good morning...Good morning, Jiangcheng...!"]

[Xie'er said this in a clearer voice than last month. 】

【"oh oh!"】

[Jiang Cheng opened his eyes wide and leaned back slightly. 】

[Xie'er is quite shy and afraid of strangers, so she often leaves communication with the outside world to her inner personality, the red Xi'er, while she hardly speaks.At least this was the first time Jiang Cheng heard Xi'er speak in such a loud voice. 】

143. Raiden Meiyi, take me to your room

[At this time, two "humming" sounds suddenly sounded in the right ear - it was Theresa's voice.It seems she has returned to Hyperion. 】

["How's it going? She can also talk to me and Kiana."]

["Really? That's amazing—Xie'er!"]

[After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Xier lowered the brim of her hat in embarrassment, but there was a hint of a smile on her lips. 】

[Then, Teresa continued]

["Although it's not the time yet, I want Xi'er to move outside the ship in the future - the stress she accumulates is even lower than Raiden Mei. Although there shouldn't be any problems if we maintain the status quo...but , as far as Tianming is concerned, I still hope that the Herrscher can learn to integrate into society and live a happy life."]

["Yeah. That's good."]

["Yes. So today I specially asked her to come over and say hello."]

【"you mean?"】

["If Xier wants to live outside the ship, of course the best place is that place~"]

[Cooperating with Theresa's words, Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at the apartment towering next to Jiang Cheng's house. 】

[The building that Raiden Mei currently lives in is a "special residence for Herrscher" specially built by Tianming. 】

[Even if an accident occurs, it will not be easily destroyed. 】

["Oh...that's it."]

["So——if you don't explain it clearly to Raiden Meiyi, you will be in trouble."]

【"what……"】

[Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes in agreement. 】

【Indeed it is.Although they live in different rooms, to a certain extent, they should be considered neighbors. 】

[No, in fact, Raiden Mei and Xier were originally companions of the Herrscher.Although Xi'er is still a little afraid of Raiden Mei, it would be great if the two of them could have a good conversation. 】

[Then - at this moment, the automatic door of the apartment quietly opened. 】

[Next, a girl came out from the other side of the door while yawning. 】

[The long purple hair, beautiful appearance, and crystal eyes sitting in it are particularly eye-catching in the bright sunshine. 】

[She is Jiang Cheng’s classmate and the Herrscher——Thunder and Lightning Meiyi. 】

[Jiang Cheng held his breath when he saw the other party's outfit. 】

[What Raiden Mei is wearing now is not the suit jacket that she wore to school until last week, but the summer uniform of a short-sleeved shirt. 】

[Hey, Jiang Cheng also started to change his summer uniforms starting today, so this is actually nothing to make a fuss about... It’s just that after seeing the clothes that highlighted the body curve more than usual, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but feel his heart beat faster. 】

["Hmm...? Jiangcheng!"]

[Seemingly not aware of Jiang Cheng’s existence until now, Raiden Mei opened her eyes wide and shouted. 】

["What's wrong? It's really rare that we can meet each other so early in the morning!"]

["Ah...ah...I...I think it would be nice to go to school with Raiden Mei from time to time..."]

[Jiang Cheng, whose eyes were wandering, said this.Then, Raiden Meiyi's cheeks turned slightly red, and her expression instantly became very happy. 】

["Really! Well, that - I think... this proposal is very good!"]

[Thunder Meiyi nodded vigorously happily...how should I say this?It was really embarrassing to see the other person express joy so openly. 】

[Because he didn’t know what to say next, Jiang Cheng handed over the lunch bag he was holding. 】

["And, this. This is today's lunch."]

【"oh oh!"】

[Raiden Meiyi took the bento with a smile on her face. 】

["Today's...what is today's dish!"]

["Well, today we have asparagus and bacon rolls, meatloaf omelettes, and macaroni and tomato salad. Ah, the rice is chicken fried rice."]

【"What did you say……!"】

[After Jiangcheng finished speaking, Raiden Meiyi had a look of fear on her face, and then she hugged her lunch bag tightly while observing the surrounding situation. 】

["Isn't there any problem with this, Jiang Cheng?"]

["Ah...? What...what's the problem?"]

[Jiang Cheng asked in a dull tone.Then, Raiden Meiyi lowered her voice and continued. 】

""Asparagus bacon rolls and meatloaf are both included in the bento. If everyone knows about it, it might turn into a serious situation...? In the worst case scenario, people might start to focus on this. Lunchboxes caused riots——"]

["No, that won't happen."]

["Yes...is that so...that's good. No, that's not right. Turning white rice into chicken fried rice is an outrageous act...is it likely to violate international law?"]

[Where did you learn these words from?Raiden Mei said in a serious tone. 】

["No, no...ah, don't you like chicken fried rice? I can exchange dishes with you."]

[If the bento dishes are exactly the same, there is a high chance that Origami will investigate the cause again.So starting two weeks ago, Jiangcheng always cleverly changed the side dishes of both parties.However, Jiangcheng's bento was mainly the leftovers from last night's dinner, so he didn't spend much time cooking it. 】

[However, the moment Jiang Cheng made this suggestion, Raiden Meiyi hugged the lunch bag tightly and shook his head vigorously from side to side. The shaking was so strong that one could not help but suspect that his head would fall off. 】

[Seeing her exaggerated reaction, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.Forget it, as long as she is happy, it will not be in vain that she has to work hard to cook every morning. 】

[Mei Raiden, whose expression still showed tension, put the lunch bag away again, and then took a deep breath as if to regain her composure. 】

【then……】

【"Um?"】

[Thunder Meiyi opened her eyes unconsciously and turned to look at the girl who had been staying by Jiang Cheng's side.It seemed that Raiden Meiyi had not noticed the other party's existence until now. 】

["Oh! It's Xi'er, long time no see!"]

[Showing a hearty smile, Leiden Meiyi said to Xi'er. 】

[Despite all the disputes, Raiden Meiyi didn’t seem to take these things to heart at all. 】

[However, Xi'er's shoulders trembled, and then she took a step back. 】

【"come on! Come on!"】

["Uh...um..."]

[Then, as if to show determination, his eyebrows twitched. 】

["Morning...morning...good...!"]

[Said this sentence in a quieter but very clear voice than when talking to Jiang Cheng. 】

["Oh, good morning!"]

[Xie'er trembled again... trying her best to stay in place and not run away. 】

[Thunder Mei and Xier faced each other for a while, and the two fell into silence. 】

[Then, Jiang Cheng heard Theresa’s sharp voice from his right ear. 】

["——Why don't you speak, Jiang Cheng? Xi'er feels very uneasy now. Find something for them to talk about."]

["Uh...? Ah, okay..."]

[After listening to Theresa's words, Jiang Cheng glanced in Xi'er's direction. 】

[So, she seems to have changed a bit compared to the last time we met. 】

["Xie'er, you are wearing a straw hat today."]

【It’s a pretty cool looking white straw hat. 】

【"……!……Yes, it is!"】

["Kiana said...because it's very hot today, that...so..."]

["Ah, that's it. It suits you very well. Very cute, very cute."]

[Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Xi'er blushed and lowered her head in shyness. 】

[It seems that the habit of being easily shy has not been changed yet.Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. 】

["Wait a minute, we can't end the topic here! We haven't talked to Raiden Mei yet!"]

["Ah...is that right?"]

【"Um?"】

[Maybe he didn’t expect that the topic would turn to him, Leiden Meiyi looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise.Next, he turned his attention to Xi'er. 】

["Yeah. Mm, it's very cute, Xi'er."]

["...! Thank you... thank you..."]

[After Xi'er lowered her head and thanked her, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Leiden Meiyi. 】

["That... that... Raiden Mei is also... very... cute..."]

["Huh? You...what are you talking about...it's really embarrassing."]

[While saying this, Raiden Meiyi scratched his cheek, but his attitude did not show any displeasure.Then, Raiden Mei laughed shyly and glanced in the direction of Jiangcheng.For some reason, a blush appeared on her cheeks. 】

["Jiang Cheng also... thinks so?"]

[I didn’t expect that the topic would turn back to me again.Jiang Cheng unconsciously made a surprised sound. 】

["I'm wearing a different uniform today than last week...what do you think?"]

[Jiang Cheng discovered this when we met in the morning.A cool summer uniform that matches well with Raiden Mei's outfit.If asked if she was cute, Jiang Cheng would of course nod and praise her cutely.One can’t help but feel grateful to have summer. 】
