Am I a bad person? They all want to kill me?

Hayasaka Ai, as usual, didn't ask any more questions.

"correct......"

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lip and frowned as she reminded him, "Hayasaka, this person is very dangerous. Find someone else to investigate, don't do it yourself. Also... tell the person investigating not to investigate online, and don't get too close to the target, because he has a strong anti-reconnaissance capability."

Hayasaka Ai's eyes flickered slightly, and she pretended to be confused and asked, "Danger? Miss Kaguya, are you sure?"

"kindness."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded seriously, "Hayasaka, don't ask too many questions, just remember what I said. If I have a chance later, I will tell you why."

"Okay, I know."

Hayasaka Ai agreed solemnly.

.........

In a blink of an eye, it was already noon.

Hayasaka Ai naturally did everything that Miss Kaguya instructed her to do.

As soon as breakfast was over, she contacted Neon’s top private detective to investigate Lin Qing’an.

At the same time, she did something secretly during the morning.

Miss Kaguya's reaction made her realize one thing: she was not an exception, and there were people who had experienced the strange "future simulation" just like her.

So...she first checked the servants in the Shinomiya Villa and confirmed that they were not involved in the simulation.

Then, she used her connections in Shuchiin to quietly test a large number of Shuchiin students and confirmed that a group of students, including Fujiwara Chika, did not participate in the simulation.

Finally, through the reactions of the Shinomiya family and her own side, she confirmed that no one on either side participated in the simulation.

After a series of combined punches, combined with the hint from the "Future Simulation", she had a rough idea in her mind.

The number of lucky people who can participate in the "future simulation" must be extremely small, most likely only in the single digits.

Of course, this is just her guess. What the actual situation will be depends on subsequent developments.

.........

At the same time, on the streets of Chiba.

Lin Qing'an sat on a park bench, looking at the clear blue sky with some melancholy.

He has become stronger, yes.

But at the same time, his appetite also increased, and the increase was not just a little bit, but multiples.

After having lunch at home, he went out and went to two restaurants and ate a lot before filling his stomach.

He calculated that his appetite was about three times, almost four times, of what it used to be.

It would be fine if his appetite increased dramatically, but his little treasury could still handle it.

But the key point is that in the simulated world, he has been eating fine food for more than a year, which has made his taste buds picky.

Now, no matter whether he eats at home or in a small restaurant, he finds the food tastes like chewing wax and is hard to swallow.

After finishing the meal, he already started to miss Erina's cooking.

"Erina..."

Lin Qing'an looked at the sky and became more melancholy.

In reality, it's not easy to bring Erina back to be her little cook...

.........

At the same time, in Totsuki Academy.

Erina Nakiri, who was being thought of, bit her thumb nail and looked at the high-quality ingredients on the kitchen counter with disdain.

Iberian ham, A5 wagyu beef, Britannia blue lobster, bluefin tuna, French salt flower, Australian champagne crab...

If it were in the past, faced with these undoubtedly high-end ingredients from the human world, she would definitely be eager to start cooking.

But now...she has no desire to cook at all.

Premium ingredients?! It doesn’t even contain dragon liver or phoenix marrow, and it can be considered premium ingredients?

Thinking about those 'real high-end ingredients' produced in the 'Demon World', Erina Nakiri suddenly felt her mouth watering and her hands itching.

Ahh ...

Since she was allowed to see that new world, why! Why would she be sent back?!

"Future Simulation", Lin Qingan......

"Hu~~"

Erina Nakiri suppressed her irritation and forced herself to calm down.

Just wait a little longer. On May 5, Lin Qingan will take action. By then...

Erina Nakiri bit her lip and made a silent decision in her heart.

This time, she must take the initiative and strive to get the same status as Hayasaka Ai and Yukinoshita.

In this way, she would not have to spend any money to occupy the kitchen on the sixth floor of the Crystal Palace later...

Thinking about the many prices she paid in order to get that kitchen in the "simulated world", Erina Nakiri's legs couldn't help but go weak, and a slightly sweet and fishy taste inexplicably emerged in her mouth.

108. "The Melancholy of Saki Kawasaki"

The peaceful May 5st passed quickly.

Late at night, when the footsteps of May 5 sounded quietly, Lin Qing'an, who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

He sat up quietly, pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Only after he was sure that his parents in the next bedroom had fallen asleep did he turn on the bedside lamp and get out of bed quietly.

Then he went to the closet and took out the charcoal gray suit that had been prepared long ago.

This suit is not his, but his father's.

Next he was going to do something, and the place he was going to was a little bit difficult, and if he wasn't dressed appropriately, he might not be able to get in.

So, he could only borrow his father's suit temporarily.

He was already sixteen or seventeen years old and his body shape was very similar to that of his father, so there was no obvious flaw in the suit he wore.

After changing into a suit, Lin Qing'an stood in front of the floor-length mirror in the wardrobe, took out hair wax and hairspray, and carefully fixed his hairstyle.

After doing all this, Lin Qing'an put on his pointed leather shoes and sneaked out of the window quietly.

.........

5:2 am on May 0nd, in front of the Royal Okura Hotel in Chiba City.

A taxi slowly stopped by the roadside.

Then, the car door opened.

Lin Qing'an got out of the car with a gentle smile on his face and walked slowly towards the hotel lobby.

In the deep night, the magnificent and brightly lit hotel lobby is very eye-catching. From a distance, it has a sense of decadence and extravagance.

After entering the lobby, Lin Qing'an ignored the luxurious decorations around him and walked towards the elevator.

The hotel's elevator is a transparent panoramic elevator that is very suitable for sightseeing. As the elevator rises, the night scene of Chiba gradually comes into view. Although it is not as prosperous as Tokyo, it has its own flavor.

"Ding---"

Soon, we reached the top floor.

Lin Qing'an withdrew his gaze, put on a gentle smile, and walked out of the elevator with steady steps.

When you get out of the elevator, an entire bar comes into view.

The bar has soft lighting and a soothing atmosphere, as low-key as candlelight.

Looking up, you can see a white woman in an evening dress playing the piano with great enthusiasm under the spotlight.

The name of the bar is "Angel's Staircase". It is a high-end bar located on the top floor of a hotel. The customers who come here are at least middle class.

Therefore, there is a strong petty-bourgeois atmosphere here, and there are certain requirements for customers' clothing. It is not easy for those who are not dressed properly to enter.

Lin Qing'an did not stay outside the elevator for too long. He walked through the open, stylish wooden door with a normal look on his face.

As soon as I entered the door, a male waiter immediately came up to greet me respectfully.

"Sir, who are you?"

"One."

"Excuse me, sir, do you smoke?"

"No."

During the conversation, the waiter led Lin Qing'an to the bar.

"Have a good time, sir."

The waiter bowed slightly and left quietly.

Lin Qing'an sat on the high chair in front of the bar and looked at the female bartender behind the bar with a gentle smile.

The female bartender was tall and pretty, with long aqua blue hair tied up behind her head, looking very capable.

"Hey~ Long time no see, Kawasaki-san, please give me a glass of 'Sea Breeze'."

Lin Qing'an greeted the female bartender very skillfully.

The female bartender in front of him was, in many ways, his "acquaintance".

Apart from those illusory relationships in past lives and simulations.

In reality, the female bartender in front of him is also his classmate.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that.

The female bartender's name was Saki Kawasaki, a student in Class F, Year 2, Sobu High School. Her seat was in the third row from the window, which was right in front of him.

When he had nothing to do, he would occasionally chat with Saki Kawasaki.

Of course, it was just ordinary chat and did not involve any topics beyond the relationship between classmates.

"...Why did you come to a place like this?"

Kawasaki Saki looked at Lin Qing'an with a frown.

"Hmm? Why can't I come?"

Lin Qing'an held his chin with his hand and looked at Kawasaki Saki with a smile on his face.

"..."

Saki Kawasaki looked at Lin Qing'an in silence.

Her intuition told her that her classmate was targeting her.

but why?

First of all, how did this guy know that she worked here? You know, she just passed the application the day before yesterday, and today is only her second day at work.

Secondly, why did this guy come after her? She didn't remember having any relationship with this guy beyond that of classmates.

At the same time, the middle-aged boss in bartender's uniform also noticed the situation on Saki Kawasaki's side.

He put down the wine glass he was wiping and walked over with a standard business smile.

"Sir, is there anything you need?"

The middle-aged boss, who was very gentlemanly, first asked Lin Qing'an a question, and then made excuses for Kawasaki Saki.

"She is still new and has a lot to learn. Please bear with her, guests."

"I know she's new, after all..."

Lin Qing'an smiled gently and said, "She and I are old classmates. We have been in the same class since high school. We also happened to be admitted to the same university and studied the same major."
