Academy City's Puppet Master

In the living room where Ling Xingye could not see, Kanzaki Kaori lowered his head, wishing to bury his face in his chest.

"What's the matter with this development? I just came to say hello and explain to him the content of my mission!" Kanzaki Kaori shouted in his heart, "It's shameless to stay behind and be entertained by the protected target what!"

What worried Kanzaki Kaori even more was, if Shiranui Hitomi came back suddenly, how would he explain it?

The meeting at Ling Xingye's house last time was already very embarrassing!

Ling Xingye was indeed not modest. The dinner he prepared was indeed very simple—boiled instant noodles, supplemented with a few slices of ham and fried eggs, so everything was done within ten minutes.

Kanzaki Kaori didn't feel disgusted, she thanked her very earnestly and prayed before the meal, as if what was in front of her was a delicacy.

Such performance actually made Ling Xingye feel a little guilty and ashamed.

After finishing this simple dinner, Ling Xingye made black tea again, and then the two formally sat down face to face.

"Now you can tell me, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Kanzaki Kaori put down the teacup, and looked at the other party with a pair of clear eyes: "That's right, I took the liberty to visit, and I do have something I want to tell you, Xingye."

Kanzaki Kaori, who entered the official state, told Ling Xingye the mission purpose of her trip.

Because according to Kanzaki Kaori's judgment, Ling Xingye has enough strength, so under normal circumstances, he doesn't actually need his own protection, but can fight side by side with him.

Therefore, Kanzaki Kaori decided to change the mission strategy.

She wanted to shift the focus of protection work to Touma—in fact, Index.

Correspondingly, Ling Xingye will be a little negligent here.

So Kanzaki Kaori felt that he should explain to Ling Xingye in advance.

In other words, there is a kind of "forgiveness" in it.

"Is there such a mission?" Of course Ling Xingye didn't care. Instead, he was surprised that Kanzaki Kaori would come here to protect him. "Then I really want to thank you!"

"But don't worry about me," Ling Xingye continued, "You can concentrate on protecting the next door. I'm not weak enough to need special protection."

"That's good," Kanzaki Kaori let out a long breath, "Thank you very much for your understanding and help!"

"One more thing," Kanzaki Kaori said again, "Because the mission requires it, I will live here in the latest stage."

Ling Xingye almost spit out a sip of tea: "This is really not a dormitory for girls!"

Ling Xingye suddenly discovered that at this stage, there are always girls staying in his home - it is obviously a single apartment for boys.

"No, Xingye, you misunderstood!" Kanzaki Kaori quickly waved his hands and explained, "I'm not talking about your house, it's the neighbor!"

"Kamijo Touma's house?" Ling Xingye was taken aback for a moment.

"No!" The girl almost stood up, turned and pointed to the other wall, "It's the next door!"

Ling Xingye suddenly realized——Kanzaki Hoori was referring to the empty room next door.

Because there are only three residents on the seventh floor of this apartment.The other rooms are all unoccupied and unoccupied.

Kanzaki Kaori meant to occupy one of them as a temporary base.

"Because no one lives in it, it shouldn't be a problem for me to borrow it for a while." Kanzaki Kaori said, "So, from now on, we are neighbors."

"Please take care of me from now on, Xingye!" The girl smiled and bowed.

===Chapter 29 Bad News===

After saying hello as a new neighbor, Kanzaki Kaori got up and said goodbye.

Promising that she would bring a gift for an official visit next time, she moved from the balcony to the empty apartment next door.

Ling Xingye stood on the balcony, watched the night for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the next days will still be uneasy."

However, this melancholy mood was quickly diluted by the loud noises from Kamijou Touma's house.

Ling Xingye returned to the house dumbfounded.

At this time, his mobile phone suddenly received an email.

Clicking on it, it turned out to be from Hitomi Shiranui.

Ling Xingye suddenly murmured inwardly that he had made an appointment to have dinner together today, but after a series of things happened, he even forgot!

No matter how good-tempered Shiranuotong is, he will definitely be angry this time, right?

Ling Xingye continued to read the contents of the email with anxiety.

It turned out that Hitomi Shiranui didn't blame him, but she was apologizing instead.

"I'm sorry, Starry Night! I suddenly received an urgent invitation this afternoon. The 'Brenhill Artificial Intelligence Development Institute' wanted me to help with some research work. Because it is a direct procedure through the school, it is difficult to refuse.

"So I'm going to ask for leave for the next two to three days. I'm really sorry that I can't be with you!"

Looking at the email, Ling Xingye frowned a little - usually when encountering this kind of thing, Hitomi Shiranui would call him directly instead of emailing him.

And the name of this institute seems to have been heard somewhere...

Ling Xingye quickly recalled that during the summer vacation, they went to the "Gold Coast" swimming pool!It is said that the main occasion for issuing tickets at that time was the opening ceremony of the "Brenhill Institute of Artificial Intelligence".

Ling Xingye was a little skeptical, applying for students to cooperate with research projects at the beginning of the semester... This is a bit abnormal!

After thinking about it, he planned to call Hitomi Shiranui to directly verify the accuracy of the news.
