Academy City's Puppet Master

After the other party left, she tried to "look" with her ability, and there was no abnormality for at least [-] seconds.

... Except, for some unknown reason, a barrel-shaped robot drove into the teaching building.Generally speaking, this kind of guard robot will only be active in public areas. Places such as school teaching buildings are private territories and will be equipped with their own sweeping robots.

However, the Sanze School is an external institution, so maybe there are other rules?

Other than that, there are no other abnormalities.Maybe, just like what Hijikata said, it's just because he doesn't like the atmosphere of the cram school?

Just as Yuan Shanyao was thinking, a bell rang from the teaching building of Sanze School.

It's lunch break.

She pulled herself together and dialed the number of her good friend Meryl.

Although she was surprised after receiving the call, Mei Lilu still appeared in front of Yuan Shanyao as quickly as possible.

This is a very tall girl, and a height above 1.7 meters is enough to stand out among the girls.However, she has a well-proportioned figure, and she is full of femininity from her face to her body. Just by looking at her appearance, she can be seen to be a very gentle and virtuous girl, a standard Yamato Nadeko-type girl.

It's just a pity that the short hair that only reaches the earlobe spoils the overall beauty.Perhaps it was because she was busy studying and neglected to take care of it. Even with short hair, it looked very messy from a girl's point of view, and there were no decorations such as hairpins.

With a pair of big round glasses on the bridge of the nose, plus the textbook and stationery bag in his arms, he feels like a nerd.

Yuan Shanyao knew that her friend was busy studying recently, but she didn't expect to be so exaggerated-you know, the Merylu she knew in the past has always been "generous" in terms of academic performance.

Maybe... was stimulated by me?

Yuan Shanyao suddenly felt a little uneasy and guilty.She is quite good at studying - this is not an exaggeration, if there is no such obvious foul as Hitomi Shiranui, she will definitely be No.1 in theoretical grades in the class and even in the grade!

Therefore, Yuan Shanyao could not understand what kind of experience "difficulty learning" is.

===Chapter [-] Mishap at Sanze School===

"Yao? How did you find this place?" The first words of the best friend after meeting him were to ask her head and face.

"Huh?" Yuan Shanyao was taken aback, and murmured, "...I... just heard that Mei Lilu came here to study homework last time, so...you see, it's summer vacation, and I just have time... ..."

But it feels like the description is getting darker and darker. It doesn't seem like an explanation at all, but more like laughing at the other party, right?

Yuan Shanyao's voice became lower and lower, and he lowered his head, not daring to look into the other person's eyes.

At this time, she heard her friend sigh—in the past, every time she did something wrong and got into trouble, Meryl would sigh like this, and then tried her best to help herself solve the problem.

Yuan Shanyao suddenly raised his head, and looked at Meililu expectantly.

"Sorry, I've been quite nervous recently." Merylu took off her round-rimmed glasses, "I didn't mean to blame you, Haruka! It's just that you surprised me by running here alone."

"Uh...Am I just so uneasy? Obviously I am also a high school student!" Yuan Shanyao couldn't help defending herself, but recalling that not long ago, she had troubled the earthwork guard to lead the way to find this place, and her voice grew louder. come lower.

"You, when will you mature..." Mei Lilu said in an elder tone, "Forget it, did you come to play with me today?"

"No, I just want to have lunch with you..." Yuan Shanyao said, "After all, I can't hinder Meililu's studies."

"Well, that kind of thing is fine!" Merylu who took off her glasses seemed to have recovered her true colors, and waved her hands nonchalantly, "Tell me first, what happened last night? Why did you suddenly want to come here?" My family stayed overnight? Then why was it canceled?"

Mei Lilu suddenly approached, using her height advantage to press Yuan Shanyao's body, her eyes were full of suspicion and curiosity, and she asked aggressively.

"Huh?" Yuan Shanyao suddenly panicked, "This..."

Just when she didn't know how to explain it, Mei Lilu suddenly took a step back and let her go.

"Sure enough there is a problem!" Mei Lilu hugged the books and stationery in her arms tightly, the pencil case sank deeply into the gully of her chest, and she pointed at her friend with one free hand, with a smirk on her face, "I will definitely let you Tell me the truth!"

As she said that, she handed the books and stationery to Yuan Shanyao: "Help me get it, I'm going to ask the teacher for leave, I won't be in class this afternoon!"

Without waiting for Haruka Yuanshan to react, Meililu stepped forward with her long legs, turned around and rushed into the teaching building of Sanze School.

It seems that today I have enough time to be with Meryl!Yuan Shanyao is full of joy, but this curious friend will definitely continue to ask about what happened last night... How to explain it?

Yuan Shanyao has a headache, she is not good at lying, and she is not willing to deceive her best friend.But... staying in the dormitory of boys in the same class by myself will definitely surprise Meryl, right?After all, this is completely out of character.Maybe she'd panic and tell her parents—that would make things even more troublesome!

Yuan Shanyao is just introverted and simple, but he is by no means stupid.She is also very clear about what kind of associations others will have when telling about last night's experience... Even if she is not alone in the room with Xingye's lonely man and widow - and the monitor, Shiranui, is also there!

However, it seems to be even worse to say it this way...

So Yuan Shanyao didn't know how to explain it.

Just so hesitant, Yuanshan Haruka wandered back and forth at the gate of Sanze School with his friend's books and stationery, waiting for Meililu to come back.

However, there was no sign of my friend for a long time.

Yuan Shanyao couldn't help looking into the teaching building, but found that there was no one in the spacious hall. Not only that, she suddenly realized that besides herself, there was no other person around!

Unknowingly, the students who were bustling in and out just now all disappeared, and I don't know where they all went.

Yuan Shanyao even wondered if it was time for class again?

She took out her phone again to check the time.Then I suddenly felt that I had forgotten something important and needed to go back and deal with it quickly.

So she turned around and walked back, even trotting all the way because of her eagerness.

The books held in his arms are somewhat in the way.Yuan Shanyao had to stop and pick up the luggage again.

"Huh? Why am I holding these? Where's my schoolbag?" She froze for a moment, then realized that it wasn't her textbook.

Open a book and see Merrill's name on the name column on the title page.

Yuan Shanyao suddenly remembered: "Yes, this is something for Meililu! I came to see Meililu, and she said she was going to ask for leave... Why did she suddenly forget?"

While muttering to herself, Yuan Shanyao turned back and walked towards the teaching building, she wanted to go in to find Mei Lilu.
