Academy City's Puppet Master

"I'll help my sister bake!" Shirai Heizi ran over.

"Hey, why are you still here?" Then Shirai Heizi stared at Ling Xingye who occupied the bonfire with an unkind expression, "Hurry up and process the ingredients. I remember you have to prepare a pot of curry yourself, right?"

"I'm doing it." Ling Xingye pointed back to the open-air kitchen.

I saw his puppet sprite standing in front of the cooking table, holding a kitchen knife and skillfully chopping vegetables.

Potatoes, carrots, onions, pork...all the ingredients were quickly cut into uniform sizes and placed on plates.

As for Ling Xingye himself, he stayed by the fire and concentrated on roasting the corn without even looking back.

Sprite's wonderful performance can only make the girls who saw this scene marvel at Ling Xingye's superb skills again.

While Ling Xingye manipulated the puppet to cut vegetables, he skillfully made grilled corn snacks.Although the technique is simple and even primitive, it has a special flavor in such a situation.

The aroma of grilled corn quickly attracted other girls who were concentrating on cooking.

Even the two groups of Saten Reniko and Married Mitsuko, who were engaged in a "cooking competition", put down their work and came together.

Seeing this, Ling Xingye had to ask Yao Yao to bring more whole corn, and prepared a pre-dinner snack for everyone.

So their lunch was delayed for a while.

In the end, the two "Misaka brand induction cookers" only finished cooking one box of rice each.The rest was handed over to Tu Fanghu and Ling Xingye's earthen stove.

"Stop it, or we won't have enough rice..." Ling Xingye said when he stopped them from continuing to try enthusiastically.

Of course, he was also "sanctioned" by Misaka Mikoto.

Ling Xingye weaved an anti-electricity and lightning protection net like a conditioned reflex, offsetting her lightning gun.

Due to the increased workload, Ling Xingye alone naturally has no time to take care of all the stoves.

So other people who are also in the fire-making team are also responsible for looking after the fire.

Haruka Toyama and Mei Lilu were among them, and they were in charge of cooking curry—specifically, they kept adding firewood to keep the fire from going out.

Because this task itself is not too difficult, the two girls just add firewood while chatting.

"So? What is Ah Yao thinking?" Meililu asked suddenly.

"Huh? What?" Yuan Shanyao asked without knowing why.

"Those two boys," Meililu pointed at Ling Xingye and Tufanghu not far away with a dry branch in her hand, "how do you think about it? Which one is your favorite?"

Yuan Shanyao said helplessly: "Xiaomei, you haven't given up on this topic..."

"Sure enough, it's still Ling Xingye?" Mei Lilu ignored her friend's complaints, "He seems to be a decent person, and he can cook."

"Hush! Keep your voice down!" Yuan Shanyao hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, "She's right next to her, so I'm not afraid of being heard by them."

"Yeah, let me keep my voice low." Mei Lilu nodded again and again, "So it really is Ling Xingye, right?"

"You..." Yuan Shanyao sighed helplessly, "And you said it was impossible before, right? Xingye, he is the monitor's boyfriend... Although they haven't admitted it yet."

"Squad leader..." Mei Lilu also turned her head to look in the direction of Shiranuotong, and said with emotion again, "It really is a strong enemy!"

Through the short-term cooperation in the rescue of Yuan Shanyao, Mei Lilu has already seen the power of this squad leader.

After the meeting, I realized that for the first time I really saw what it means to be "both virtuous and talented, with both talent and appearance".

"To be honest, if Ling Xingye is really the squad leader's lover, then it would be really difficult." Meililu said, "But you just said that they haven't officially confirmed their relationship... This is an opportunity! Don't give up, Yao, I will support you!"

"Huh? Why did it suddenly become like this?" Yuan Shanyao let out a small whine, "Impossible, no matter what, I can't beat the squad leader."

"Don't give up!" Meryl grabbed her shoulders, "A girl in love is invincible!"

"Ah, Xiaomei, stop joking!"

"You...are you planning to snatch Ling Xingye from Shiranui?" Just as the two girls were arguing in full swing, a third person's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Ah! Sorry, we were just joking!" Yuan Shanyao said quickly.

Meililu calmed down a lot: "...Miss Mermaid?"

"It's Yakushiji Mixi." After seeing the face of the visitor, Toyama Haruka hurriedly corrected, "Yakushiji, I was really just joking just now, please don't tell the monitor."

Yakushiji Mixi had already washed off the seductive makeup on her face. Even though she was only plain, she could still see the charming appearance of the "Mermaid Princess" before.

She is now a member of Saten Renko's team, but she came here for some reason.

Yakushiji Mixi smiled and said, "Don't worry, if Haruka really intends to fight against the squad leader, then I can help you!"

"Huh!?" Toyama Haruka exclaimed, "Why! Even Yakushiji Mixi..."

Merylu also asked, "Are you willing to help us? Can I ask why?"

To be honest, although Mei Lilu's proposal did have the meaning of thinking for Yuan Shanyao, it was more of a joke, right?

Who would have thought that a girl would appear out of nowhere and tell them solemnly that she was willing to help Haruka Yuan against class leader Hitomi Shiranui!

It's no wonder that Melilo doubted her purpose.

In theory, Yakushiji Mixi has no reason to offend Hitomi Shiranui?

"Because I also want to defeat the monitor once." Yakushiji Mixi replied, "Even if it's just to participate in the plan to defeat her."

Yakushiji Miyu's ability level 3 "Hypnotic Dark Voice" has the effect of hypnosis and the ability to affect the target's consciousness and emotion.
