What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

"Swashimiya-kun, have you seen the goblin?"

"Wasn't she nearby just now?" Si Ji answered subconsciously.

Then he recalled and realized that the girl seemed to have disappeared after the banquet.

"I just saw her go back to the apartment, but I couldn't find her when I went to her room. Can you help me look for her? After all, no one knows Washimiya Dormitory better than you... I'll take care of the trash here for you."

Chris Yamada suggested.

"That's right..."

Shiki always felt that the other party was a little strange, but he had confidence in himself and there was nothing to be afraid of, so he handed the dustpan and broom to Yamada Kris and walked towards the apartment.

The first thing he went to was naturally his own room. Based on his familiarity with the house, Si Ji quickly determined that no one had been here before. Then he ran to the fairy's room, but it was obvious that the other party had not come back.

Now Si Ji couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He walked around the apartment twice more, planning to ask the police for help if he still couldn't find Yamada Fairy.

As a result, he discovered some clues - a ladder leading to the roof on the inside of the second floor was lowered, and it seemed that the Yamada fairy had run to the roof.

So Si Ji also climbed up and found the girl sitting on the flat ground on the roof with her knees hugged. Looking closely, he found that the girl was lying on a picnic blanket that she had found from somewhere.

"It's Assistant-kun."

The girl who heard the noise looked towards the entrance. When she found out that the person coming was Shiki, her expression relaxed: "The barbecue carnival was well organized~"

"It should be your celebration party."

"Although I feel like the barbecue has stolen the limelight..." the girl muttered, and then asked curiously, "Is that meat Wagyu or Hokkaido Kurobuta?"

"Neither," Four Seasons replied seriously, "It's crocodile meat."

"Eh..." The girl made a doubtful sound, but did not ask any further questions.

Si Ji would naturally not be so boring as to ask a question like 'What are you doing up here?' - the girl was clearly admiring the starry sky.

"Are stars interesting?" he asked softly, approaching the other person calmly.

"My family has a private uninhabited island."

The Yamada Fairy looked at the starry sky and murmured to herself in a way that made people wonder if she was showing off her wealth: "Every summer, there are many fireflies gathering near the lake. If you walk on that path at that time, you can enjoy the feeling of wandering in the sea of ​​stars. It is very beautiful and can make people feel moved."

"It feels beautiful just hearing you say it."

Four Seasons echoed.

Shiki, who has been working hard in this world for two and a half years, has hardly seen a few fireflies, let alone flies, so he cannot empathize with the girl's feelings.

"Yeah, that's why I like stars so much. When I lived in my hometown, I would occasionally look at the stars, but I couldn't see the starry sky like that in Tokyo. Now that I've moved here, I can see the stars again."

The Yamada Fairy whispered in a somewhat ethereal and dreamy voice: "Sure enough, there is no change compared to the past..."

"After all, the so-called stars are just stars. Their light travels through billions of years before falling on Earth for us to see. From the perspective of the universe, human life is just like a fleeting moment. From our perspective, the starry sky will naturally not change much."

Shiki consoled him, "And with the Earth's rotation and revolution, the starry sky is actually different. It's just space training."

"I don't like the existence of a pool of stagnant water that has not changed for many years." The Yamada Fairy suddenly said loudly: "The changes in the starry sky are too slow, as if the world has stopped. It's unbearable."

"What do you want to say?"

Si Ji felt a little strange and asked casually.

"Assistant, my name is Emily Granger. I agreed before that I would tell you my name after the bet is over."

"It's a nice name," Shiki nodded, "So should I call you Emily from now on, or should I call you Yamada Fairy like before?"

"Whatever you like." Yamada Fairy, or Emily, said softly.

"This world changes too slowly, but if, I mean if, when I wake up tomorrow, you and I have signed an unbreakable contract, forged a closer relationship, and become the most important people to each other, then when we look up at the starry sky with such changes in mind, will we be able to see even more beautiful changes?"

The spring night wind was still a little chilly, blowing the girl's long golden hair into chaos and her tasseled Lolita skirt fluttering. Against the backdrop of the dark night sky, the pink girl looked like colorful cherry blossoms, giving people the illusion that she would wither at any time.

It turned out to be the case.

Shiki probably understood what the girl meant.

"I……"

“No need to answer so quickly!” But before Shiki could speak, Yamada Fairy took the lead to interrupt his reply: “We still have time, we must wait for you to think it over carefully, wait until you understand my strengths and my advantages better, then answer me properly!”

Four Seasons was silent for a moment.

In fact, according to his original plan at that time, he was going to be a slow-witted male protagonist in the animation and pretend that he didn't understand what the girl meant.

But the other party has already said so much, and it would be a bit too much for me to pretend that I know nothing.

Then the four seasons became a little more serious.

"I'm sorry, Emily."

Yamada Fairy's face suddenly turned pale.

Si Ji suddenly felt a little distressed, but he still replied seriously: "I have things to do. Before everything is over, I don't plan to fall in love or date anyone."

"What happens after it's over?" Yamada Fairy was keenly aware of something.

"That's what happens after it's over." Si Ji wasn't sure when the system would leave, or what would happen to him after it left, so he couldn't answer.

"Then let's wait until it's over!" The girl's cherry lips curled up again, she crossed her arms, her long golden hair fluttering in the night, just as self-centered, optimistic and willful as when they first met: "I'm only 14 years old, I can still wait! Assistant-kun... No, Shiki, don't think you can escape!"

Chapter 75: Subtle Troubles

Shiki originally thought that after she rejected Yamada Fairy's confession, the relationship between the two would become awkward.

But in fact, this did not happen. After that day, the fairy was still like nothing happened. He ran to Siji's room every evening, ate and drank, and after a full meal, he would lie on Siji's sofa and play the gachapon game.

While Si Ji was relieved about this, he also unexpectedly felt that having a friend who was like a sister wasn't a bad thing.

The two of them kept silent about the fact that the fairy originally lived in Washimiya Dormitory just to capture Kashiwagi Eriri who was lurking nearby, and now Eriri has been successfully captured and turned into an illustration Pokémon exclusive to fairies, so theoretically she should move back to her previous big mansion. They tacitly lived their lives as usual.

But sometimes the four seasons can still be a little troublesome.

"Look, it's an SSR!" The girl rested her head on his thigh affectionately, showing off to Siji the golden Reya card she had just drawn on her phone: "The drop rate is only 0.6%! I actually got it so easily, worthy of me~ Kukuku, I'm going to post it on the little bluebird to show off to my servants!"

By the way, the servants the girl was referring to were her readers. Shiki originally thought that this title was rather shabby, and that readers would collectively protest against it, but for some reason very few readers were dissatisfied, and it seemed that many people quite liked being called that.

This gave Shiki a clearer understanding of the reader profile of the girl's novel about another world - probably more than 90% of them were perverts.

"I spent nearly 5 yen to win. It's not easy at all," Shiki, who was peeling an apple for the girl, sighed helplessly, "If you spend money like this without restraint, your adult cards will become thinner day by day."

"No Road Race! This is the ultimate poison pool of Hepa Ulu Tora with no ceiling and no guarantee! You're already super lucky to be able to draw it, okay!"

The Yamada Fairy raised his body in dissatisfaction and protested to the other party.

The T-shirt, which was a little too loose for her, was pulled down by the gravity of the earth, and the neckline drooped loosely, exposing the girl's fair and delicate collarbone. If you take a closer look, you might even be able to get a glimpse of the pink secret area.

'Is it time to wear a bra at 14?'

Shiki gentlemanly withdrew his gaze, muttered something in his heart, and then replied very perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, that's so lucky."

The Yamada Fairy frowned his beautiful eyebrows and put his phone against Shiki's face in dissatisfaction: "If you don't believe me, come and try it!"

"No need, I have no interest in this kind of card drawing game..."

“Fufufu, Shiki, you’re scared, right~” Yamada the Fairy said with a wicked smile, using a meaningless provocation, “Trash? Trash? A trash who doesn’t even dare to draw a card~”

Si Ji knew that she was just imitating the female ghost who was very popular on the Internet recently, but the smile on the girl's face did not have the arrogance that was unique to female ghosts, which made people want to give them a good beating. Instead, it was full of... uh, the kind of gentle smile that comes from looking at a beloved thing.

In the end, Si Ji couldn't resist her any more and had to put down the half-peeled apple, wiped his hands and casually clicked on a single draw, without much expectation for the result of the draw itself.

After all, his system can only provide him with skills and items, and has no effect on luck or anything like that.

As a result, the card drawing light effect on the mobile phone screen suddenly changed from blue to gold.

“It actually shipped right away?” The fairy was stunned for a moment, then immediately said confidently, “Although it’s definitely not the 0.6% increase in the current period, it’s still a decent amount of luck…”

Then, as they watched, the originally golden light effect actually went a step further and turned into a seven-color flash with a rainbow halo!

"What's going on?" Si Ji asked the girl with an innocent look on his face.

"This... has only been seen in urban legends, and the probability of appearing is only 3 in 10,000 UR..."

The expression on Yamada Fairy's face turned into disbelief: "And it's a single draw..."

After the rainbow light dissipated, what appeared on the screen was a heroic-looking blond elf archer who was confronting the enemy. If you look closely, the face of the character's portrait is subtly similar to that of the Yamada fairy.

Should I say that the thick painting style of the portrait has a sense of realism, or that Yamada Fairy's appearance is naturally perfect like a two-dimensional beautiful girl...

“This is it!” Yamada the Fairy, who hadn’t noticed this at all, muttered, “It’s called a dream item in UR…”

"It seems that my luck is pretty good." Si Ji said happily.

"'Elf is about to be conquered by the orcs'!"

"What games do you usually play?"

"It seems that now I have to admit that you are very lucky, Shiki."

The girl said this sadly, and Si Ji didn't know why she was so sad.

But soon, Yamada Fairy's expression suddenly became clear again: "But if you think about it carefully, I am still luckier!"

"Isn't it said that UR is more rare than SSR?" Si Ji asked with some confusion.

"But I can meet you in this world. The probability is more than one in seven billion. Isn't this one-of-a-kind encounter more fortunate than drawing any UR or SSR?"

The girl's eyes were full of dazzling light, and the expression on her face was brighter than the sunrise that Si Ji had witnessed on the top of the mountain.

This genuine feeling even made Shiki feel like a bat in the sun, unable to hide. He could only continue peeling the apple for the girl with stiff movements. However, the confusion in his mind made him use his level 8 cooking skills to carve the apple, which he originally wanted to peel into a bunny, into a Gundam, leaving the girl a little distressed about where to start.

It is this passionate feeling that makes Shiki feel a little troubled, but most of the time with Yamada Fairy is quite relaxing and enjoyable.

In comparison, other things are not so easy, mainly because they are quite annoying - because spring break is about to end and school is about to start. Si Ji plans to enjoy his youth in school this year, but relatively speaking, his time outside of school will be more limited, so he plans to deal with most of the work that may affect his life before school starts.

Let’s not talk about Natsume Makuryu for now since he just showed up. The account of Qiu Ling Wenping has not been online for a long time and a lot of things have accumulated.

For example, hold a meeting with Maple Leaf Technology's "shareholders" to discuss world peace and paint a picture of the next-generation Ark reactor for them.

He didn't intend to pay attention to the Shinomiya family. Anyway, a group of other financial groups, led by the Shijo family, were attacking frantically. Maple Leaf Technology was just playing a supporting role on the side. The Shinomiya family, the once behemoth, was almost on the verge of collapse. There was no need for him to pay attention to these things during this period of time.

But he didn't want to pay attention to the other party, but the other party had already reached the end of his rope and took the initiative to find him, who was Qiu Ling Wenping.

Chapter 76: Visitors from the Four Palaces

"Mr. Qiu Ling, this way please."

After a pie-in-the-sky conference ended, the island nation's Prime Minister's secretary led Qiu Ling Wenping to the lounge to take a short break in order to gather strength for the next meeting, which was probably to discuss with representatives of the "shareholders" how to divide up the controlled nuclear fusion energy market - mostly checking for gaps and making slight modifications to the previous territories, and occasionally there would be lengthy wrangling and even physical fights over some controversial areas.

However, this matter involving the world situation has little to do with Qiu Lingwenping. He is basically there just as a witness and a mascot.

It's not that he doesn't have a say, but just like a nuclear bomb button is most intimidating when it's not pressed, the same is true for Qiu Ling Wenping. His weight is greatest when he is not taking sides and maintaining a superficial balance. Once he publicly takes sides, it will trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

Unless he can just take out the Gundam to conquer the whole world and become the captain of the earth to rule it, it is almost foreseeable that once the balance is broken, the world will immediately slide into the quagmire of war, and countless people will die.

Moreover, Shiki only has two Gundams, one of which he cannot drive, and the remaining one is not a super series. It will probably be destroyed if it is hit by two Big Ivans. In addition, the Gundam is a culmination of future industrial capabilities, and it is impossible to maintain it with the current level of technology on Earth. The idea itself is problematic.

Even if he really relied on the various magical tools in the system to successfully become the captain, he would not only have to work hard to deal with various troublesome problems from a human perspective, but also have to guard against various attacks that are dozens or hundreds of times more than now, not to mention all kinds of disgusting political struggles.

Unless he completely gives up and becomes a tyrant, his living standard after becoming the captain will probably be even worse than in the previous two years. Just thinking about it makes Si Ji shudder.

Therefore, it is best to maintain the surface balance and peace as it is now. The skills in my hands can be accumulated slowly, and subtly guide human beings to stick to the small piece of land on Earth and cast their eyes to the stars and the sea. At the same time, they can improve their lives step by step. Isn't this more comfortable than being a captain and working so hard?

I've gone off topic. Anyway, what Qiu Lingwenping wants to do now is to prepare some popcorn and eat it while watching the performance of the diplomats during the next meeting.

"……Um?"

This was not the first time that Qiu Lingwenping came to the island nation's National Diet Building, and he was somewhat familiar with the routes here. However, the route to the lounge that the secretary was taking him to now seemed to be different from the previous times.

Qiu Lingwenping became secretly alert and opened the system inventory so that he could use the items inside for self-defense at any time.

Considering the possibility that he had simply changed the lounge, he did not overreact and just followed the other person as if he hadn't noticed anything.

"This is it, please have a good rest."

The secretary took him to the door of a room, bowed politely and stood guard at the door.

Qiu Lingwenping walked in without hesitation, not worrying about her own safety at all.

After all, he knows the value of Qiu Ling Wenping's identity better than anyone else. No matter what other people's intentions are towards him, it is almost impossible for the other party to have the option of "killing him directly". Even if only a little intelligence or technical information is obtained from "Qiu Ling Wenping", it will be of great benefit to any group or force.

Since there was no danger to his life, Qiu Ling and Wen Ping were naturally curious about what the other party wanted to do.

But after entering the room and seeing the bald man who had been waiting inside, his expression became speechless.
