In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

What followed was a flurry of calm bandaging - mainly Sakura Hibiki was in charge of the flurry, while Xia Yan and Jie Xiongming were responsible for calmly removing the bandage and re-bandaging it, respectively.

Nothing happened after that, as he had said before, it was getting late.

While Sakura Hibiki and Zou Ryuin Akemi went to the locker room to change back into their traditional black JK short skirt school uniforms, Xia Yan also went to the front desk to apply for a gym membership card.

Outside the Silver Gym, in the evening.

"Senior Xia, we'll see you tomorrow. Be careful not to get your wound wet."

Looking at Sakura Hibiki, who was waving goodbye to him cheerfully with a schoolbag slung over her shoulder under the gradually brightening night light, Xia Yan narrowed his eyes, smiled and waved at her.

"Xiang, even though that senior doesn't seem to be a bad person, you still have to..."

When Zouruin Zhumei reminded Sakura Xiang in a low voice that the people behind her could not hear, Xia Yan looked at their backs as they left, gradually put away his smile and put down his hands.

In this short afternoon, his relationship with the two girls naturally didn't develop to a very good level. At most, they were equivalent to...

A somewhat familiar stranger.

And this is all thanks to the silly and energetic Sakura Hibiki, they are indeed a very easy relationship to get along with.

So naturally, Xia Yan was unable to exchange their contact information as originally planned.

But it's not a big problem. Just like they just agreed verbally, as long as Sakura Hibiki's obsession with "losing weight" still exists, they will regularly come to the gym near their school to exercise.

What Xia Yan had to do next was just to have another place to clock in after school.

As long as I come here, there will always be a chance to meet them. With the connection we made today, when Xia Yan meets them in the gym in the future, it will be like meeting acquaintances who have met a few times. It should be no problem for them to make an appointment to work out together.

In this way, you can slowly mix it into fragments.

Overall, Xia Yan's original goal was achieved.

So he turned around and left, took back his motorcycle, and drove towards his residence.

His residence is also in a high-rise apartment in Shinjuku. Of course, it's not that dramatic - or he's not that lucky to have a light novel where Yukinoshita Yukino happens to be his neighbor.

The high-rise apartment that Xia Yan rented was on the 20th floor. It had three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and two bathrooms, with an area of ​​about 80 square meters.

For a place where one lives alone, it is indeed spacious yet a little lonely.

But overall, this is a very ordinary apartment. If there is anything special about it, it is probably...

This is Beika Town.

Chapter 16: Just an Ordinary Person After All

As we all know, Gotham City has simple folk customs and Beika Town has law-abiding folks.

Gotham City, the famous and talented city where Batman lives, is also known as "Millette City".

As a crime city that is so "on the list", Beika Town also has unique local products, which are: homicides and a large number of accident rooms (houses where people have died)!

Judging from the TV news, although a certain elementary school student who has become a death god does not seem to be ready to shrink yet, as Kudo Shinichi, his ability to achieve results is no less than that of his smaller self - after all, he has solved so many murders that he has become the "Savior of the Neon Police."

What is born from this is that a murder case will inevitably give rise to an extremely horrifying accident house where a bloody corpse lies with its eyes open.

Over the past twenty years, a certain shinigami father and son (in fact, according to inference, Kudo Yusaku is definitely to blame, after all, even Inspector Megure "inherited" the power to his son...) have been working harder and harder to achieve results.

In Beika Town, normal houses that have never had corpses lying around are becoming increasingly rare, while accident houses where people have died are increasing explosively.

As a result, a normal house, even if it is more than 20 years old, a single room, dirty and moldy, can be rented out for a sky-high price of 15 yen (about 7000 RMB).

In contrast, the prices of a large number of accident houses have continued to fall.

Originally, a house like this with good lighting, three bedrooms and a living room, three years old, and bright and elegant decoration would cost at least 3 yen a month to rent.

In the end, just because one person died (?), the rent was slashed by more than two-thirds, to just 88000 yen, with no deposit or gift money required, so you can move in right away...

Xia Yan felt that those low-level office workers or those who rented or bought houses in Beika Town really needed to be thanked... No, they should kowtow to Kudo Shinichi!

I can only say that he is worthy of being a professional "President Killer". His resistance and slaughter against capital has never stopped for a moment. He really - I'm crying to death!

"Gah."

Xia Yan returned to the house where a fat otaku was said to have been stabbed in the back and committed suicide in the middle of the living room. He then calmly pressed the light button and placed the keys and the dinner he had bought on the table in the living room.

Next, he planned to take a break and then find a place like a park nearby to practice Erhu Liu.

Although the system of adding points is indeed extremely convenient, not only the proficiency of moves and muscle memory, but even the very idealistic grasp of combat timing seems to have been improved synchronously.

But in the real battle, it is Xia Yan himself who chooses what moves to use.

So it is definitely a good idea to practice more, and not just at night. He also plans to get up early tomorrow to practice another round, and then go to school early to do some small things.

When it comes to cooking, just practice more.jpg

……

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Hidechiin.

Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka's day begins when she walks into the office.

Today she was also dressed in that handsome black suit and white coat, but when she walked in the office corridor with one hand in the pocket of her white coat and the other holding a textbook.

However, she found that her colleagues in the office would occasionally look at her with a strange look for about two seconds, and then look away as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little strange and unconsciously took two steps forward.

Then she saw a girl with short brown hair, wearing glasses, and looking a little petite and weak... no, it was a female teacher she knew, walking towards her with documents in her arms.

Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately approached, spun around, and with a gesture that matched her interests and hobbies, like an older man teasing a girl, she hooked her arm around the neck of the poor, weak-looking teacher with glasses. At the same time, she leaned close to her ear and asked casually,

"Zhu Hui, do you know what's going on with those guys over there? Why are they looking at me with such strange eyes today?"

"About this, Hiratsuka-sensei."

Encircled by Hiratsuka Shizuka's powerful arms, her tall figure pressed so tightly against him that he could even feel the softness of her plump flesh on his back. Holding the documents, Okamine Tamae hunched her shoulders helplessly, making herself look even smaller. She adjusted her glasses a bit sheepishly.

"It's not that teachers can't drink alcohol, but...at school, Hiratsuka-sensei, you'd better restrain yourself."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little confused.

But soon, she understood what was going on without anyone explaining it to her.

When Shizuka Hiratsuka came to her desk, she saw an unopened bottle of wine quietly placed on it. It was a cylindrical bottle that was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, with amber-like crystal clear liquid.

The bourbon whiskey on top seemed to be saying silently: Mr. Hiratsuka, this is a gift to you!

At that moment, countless faces flashed through Hiratsuka Shizuka's mind, but she instinctively shouted out the culprit's name without even thinking:

“Xia Yan!!!”

……

……

[Fragment: Hiratsuka Shizuka's Anger]

[Fragment: Hiratsuka Shizuka's rage! ]

"Yawn~"

Xia Yan's day starts with making the best use of everything.

After getting up early to practice boxing and going home to wash off the sweat, Xia Yan came to school. The first thing he did was to sneak into the teacher's office to "respect" his dear teacher Jing.

After doing all this, he finally had time to return to the classroom, picked up the fragments, and curled up in his seat and yawned.

In fact, Xia Yan sometimes wonders if a more popular celebrity replaces him, will he do better than himself?

Most likely, yes.

For example, if he wants to obtain fragments, he can seriously try to conquer Yukinoshita... or Shizukaai is also fine.

Falling in love will make a woman brainless. Just by thinking about it, Xia Yan can predict how many fragments of shyness, joy, love, etc. will hit her in that situation.

But Xia Yan couldn't do this. There was no special reason, he just didn't have the ability. If he had this kind of strategy and social skills, Xia Yan wouldn't have traveled through time for four or five months and still be alone now.

So later, in order to obtain the "emotion" fragments, he had extremely dark and even bloody thoughts, just like most people would have thought.

However...Xia Yan also has a very clear self-awareness.

He knew very well that if he crossed that bottom line, within two days, he would be surrounded by a completely 18X restricted plot, and then the book would be completely ruined (not really).

Xia Yan doesn't think that pursuing power is wrong, like some pretentious male protagonists in Japanese light novels.

But to put it in a more hypocritical way: he also doesn't want to turn himself into that disgusting "evil" in pursuit of power!

I have neither the ability to conquer them nor the determination to use radical means.

So in the end, he could only get along with Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yukinoshita, and those girls in this mediocre bystander-like way, just like his half-baked character.

but……

Xia Yan glanced at his own avatar on the panel - perhaps, his choice was not entirely wrong.

"Ling ring ring~"

Chapter 17: Flying over Shuchiin

"Dingling bell~"

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was lunchtime at school.

The lunch break at Shuchiin is one and a half hours.

Xia Yan then stood up and began to walk out of the teaching building quickly.

He had to hurry up and make up for his half-hearted approach.

Because he doesn't use any radical means, if he wants to obtain more emotional fragments, he can only frequently contact those female protagonists.

In general, the more time you spend with the heroines, the more likely you are to obtain fragments. It's just that hard work can make up for lack of talent.

For this reason, he had to "punch in for work" at a fixed time like a time management master.

After school, we go to Yukinoshita's Service Club, in the late afternoon, we go to Sakura Hibiki's Silver Gym, and at noon... we go to Toyonosaki Academy.

But before that, in order to achieve this goal, he still needs to overcome an obstacle, which is:

Fly over Shuchiin!

Because schools in Neon usually have classes from morning to afternoon, students do not leave school at noon. Instead, they take a break after lunch and then go directly to afternoon classes.

It’s just that their school hours are usually from 8 am to 3 pm…that’s all I have to say.

In short, if Xia Yan, a student, wanted to leave school at noon, the only formal way was to ask for leave - but he couldn't ask for leave every day at noon, so he could only use the method he was very familiar with in middle school, such as climbing over the wall to skip classes, to leave Xiuzhiyuan.

The only difference from the previous life is that it is not so easy to climb over the wall and leave Xiuzhiyuan.

Although the students and even some teachers here may not feel anything, this is an aristocratic school with a large number of children of high-ranking officials and tycoons.

The security work of Xiuzhiyuan is very complete and strict, but - they are not external but internal.

After all, it is not a military restricted area, and the school is only a place for students to study, so usually they keep strict security outside on the premise of "trying not to affect the school".

That's why students may not feel anything about it.

But in fact, their security system uses a large number of surveillance cameras, access control systems, alarms and other equipment outside the school to maintain monitoring and management at all times.

This is supplemented by 24-hour, uninterrupted and intensive personnel patrols to eliminate possible gaps in machine monitoring.

Oh, by the way, those security guards are equipped with guns, one with live bullets and one with rubber bullets - probably to prevent shooting the rare students like Xia Yan who are not in their right mind and want to climb over the wall to commit suicide.

Hmm? Why does Xia Yan know their configuration so well?

That's of course because he once sneaked into their core security headquarters - it's for external use only, not internal use.

Here, we have to mention the skill that Xia Yan relied on to sneak into the security room: blocking the breath.
