Academy City's Puppet Master

"That is to say, you went to Xingye?"

Listening to the exchange between several girls, Hijikata quickly pieced together the truth of the matter.

"How did it turn out? Did you find the starry night?"

Yuan Shanyao nodded: "It's there. But I can't get close."

"Tell me the location, I'll go find him!" Tu Fanghu clenched the handle of the knife and stood up suddenly.

"Don't be impulsive, if we don't defeat Kihara Chime, we won't be able to rescue Ling Xingye!" Yuan Shanyao said quickly, "It's hard for me to describe, but that place has become his lair. Everything that happens there will be Become beneficial to him... I tried just now, no matter what method I adopted, I couldn't save Xingye successfully!"

Hearing what she said, the Tufang guard reluctantly gave up his plan to rush over immediately.

"Next time there is such an action, don't take the risk alone." When the guardian stood up and was about to leave, he added, "Fortunately, I noticed that you were not here this time, so I didn't worry about chasing after you, otherwise you would really be very sad. Danger!"

"Thank you, but this is also within my expectation." Yuan Shanyao said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't risk my life easily."

The earth guardian shook his head helplessly, and left the room.

Without the boys present, Yuan Shanyao could no longer care about his image, and just slumped on the sofa.

Excessive use of abilities tonight made her brain seem to be overheated and burned out.At this moment, she just wanted to close her eyes and have a good sleep.

"Um... do you want to tell Senior Shiranui what happened tonight?" Saten Renko asked.

"Not for the time being." Yuan Shanyao said with his eyes closed.

Yakushi Tera Mixi brought an ice pack and applied it to her forehead and eyelids.

"Anyway, it has been confirmed that Xingye is safe for the time being." Yuan Shanyao said, "We will tell Hitomi after we have more information."

—— Hitomi Shiranui has a closer relationship with Xingye than everyone else; others may be able to keep calm and restrain themselves from acting recklessly, but Hitomi is not necessarily.

Yuan Shanyao sighed inwardly.

Another thing she didn't tell anyone was that during her investigation, Ling Xingye was in a coma all the time. Although there was no obvious trauma, it was hard to say that she was "all right".

Yuan Shanyao tried, but couldn't wake him up, so her rescue operations always failed.

Now, even if Mukata or Hitomi Shiranui could find the place where Ling Xingye was being held, it would be difficult to escape with a comatose person.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shanyao couldn't help but sigh again.

But it makes sense to think about it. If Ling Xingye is awake and able to move freely, there is no need for the girls to try to rescue them, right?

The other three girls looked at each other. Although they still had a lot of questions in their hearts, seeing Yuan Shanyao's tired look, they felt inconvenient to continue asking.

Let me add a word, [Mimi Reading app www.mimiread.com] is really good, it is worth pretending, after all, there are many sources of books, all books, and fast updates!

"Let's stop here today," Isshiki Qianhui finally made a decision, "Rest early, there are still many things to do tomorrow."

"It's actually today, isn't it?" Saten Renko complained.

These days, they stayed up until the early morning of the next day every day, which was really hard.

Yakushiji Mixi went on to say: "Let's stay here today too, I'll go get the quilt."

"I'm going to prepare bath water." Saten Saten also stood up.

At this time, Yuan Shanyao took off the ice pack on his forehead, wiped off the water on his head with a towel, and was about to get up.

"Ayao, just take a good rest, we'll take care of other things..." Yishi Qianhui said hastily.

Yuan Shanyao shook his head, and while looking for a mirror to touch up his makeup, he said, "Get ready, someone is visiting."

The few girls didn't doubt it, and hurriedly arranged their attire.

Sure enough, two minutes later, the bad girl's secretary knocked on the door and came in, saying that someone was visiting and wanted to meet them by name.

Yise Qianhui frowned: "Who actually knows we are here?"

The secretary shrugged: "I don't know, she looks like a young lady, quite kind."

"No problem, don't worry." Yuan Shanyao said, walked out of the room first, and went to the reception room dedicated to the underground command center.

In the living room, there was a girl who was about the same age as Saten Ruiko waiting, her whole body covered under a beige overcoat.

When Yuan Shanyao and the others came, they happened to see the girl take off her coat and hang it on a hanger beside her.

Under the coat was a uniform they were all familiar with—the uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School.

The visitor was a student from Tokiwadai Middle School, with a good face and elegant temperament—no wonder the secretary called her a young lady.

The lavender hair is made into gorgeous princess rolls, which complements her figure perfectly.From the perspective of a junior high school student, her figure is too plump, but she doesn't seem to be aware of it. She straightened her body and looked at Toyama Haruka and the others gracefully.

"Good evening, Toyama-senpai, Isshiki-senpai, Yakushiji-senpai; good evening, Saten-san." The girl greeted each one politely, "I'm visiting late at night, so I'm sorry to disturb you."

Several girls also quickly returned the gift.

"Excuse me, are you..." Isshiki Qianhui asked.

"I'm Junko Homokaze, a third grader at Tokiwadai Middle School, and a member of the queen-shokuhou faction." The girl introduced herself.

Then, Fanfeng Junzi took out four invitation cards from the bag beside her.

"The queen—Shokuhou-san invites you to attend tomorrow... the tea party this afternoon, and the location is inside the school house. Please come by all means."

===Chapter [-] The Queen's Tea Party===

On October 10th, at 12:[-] pm, at the House of the Academy.

Girls from various schools in Academy City came to this mysterious "Kingdom" with invitation letters.

The Academy House located in the seventh school district is a collective name for an area, consisting of five aristocratic girls' schools including Tokiwadai Middle School. It is usually in a fully closed state and is not open to the public.Except for internal students, others who want to enter must apply for a pass.

It is also the only special existence in this Academy City, which can be called a country within a country.Almost equivalent to a small school district, it is a country within a country within a country.

For girls other than Academy House, this is also the kingdom they most yearn for.

...Of course, the same is true in the eyes of boys.

It's a pity that under normal circumstances, almost no boys have been invited to enter it.

Even on the Internet, there are very few reports and news about the Academy House.

Even the annual Daha Star Festival, which takes the entire Academy City as the stage, remains mysterious and will not be opened to the public.

All of these add a bit of mystery to this daughter country.

But today, hundreds of girls from various schools were invited to come here.

Although it is not a rest day, it is a rare opportunity to have a glimpse of the style of the academy house. Even if they ask for leave, these girls will come to the appointment on time.

What's more, this time it was the invitation sent by the Queen of Tokiwadai Middle School, Shokuhou Misaki himself.

Even if they are both girls, there are not a few people who want to see the "Queen" up close.

Of course, not just anyone is eligible to be invited.For example, Chuchun Shili, who has always been fascinated by the life of the young lady, regrettably failed to receive the invitation.

The selection criteria are actually very simple. The girls who came to the scene looked at each other and they all understood it—the usual circle is so big, and almost all the invited people are acquaintances.

In short, they are all veritable young ladies.

Girls from all over the world, whose families are either rich or expensive, are gathered by Shokuhou Misaki, plus the school house where the eldest ladies gather.This tea party attended by nearly [-] people is almost a social stage for future celebrities.

"Well, they came together quite well." Looking at the Yingying and Yanyan in the garden from the balcony on the second floor, the host of the tea party blinked his starry eyes, but with a bored expression, he sat at the round table with his hands on his chin, He fiddled with a remote control absently.

"Of course, after all, it's your invitation, Queen." Junzi Fanfeng stood behind her and smiled, "Are you about to start?"

"Really, try to trouble others to do this kind of thing." Without hiding his emotions, Shokuhou Misaki complained loudly.

"Queen, please be more reserved, the people below will hear about it." Fanfeng Junzi smiled wryly.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, let them forget all about it!" Shokuhou Misaki said willfully, "What's more, can't people complain about being asked to do such a troublesome thing?"

"Okay, okay." Fanfeng Junzi comforted repeatedly, "Then I'll tell the people below to wait a little longer."

"No need," Shokuhou Misaki stood up, "Start early, let's make a quick decision!"

As she spoke, she put away the remote control, arranged her makeup, and walked to the edge of the terrace with her head held high.

Like a queen visiting her subjects.

The girls below raised their heads and looked at the girl on the high platform.

"Well, thank you all for accepting my invitation to come to the tea party~"

Under the influence of the microphones prepared in advance by the members of the faction, Shokuhou Misaki's sweet voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Ah! It's Her Majesty the Queen!" The girls immediately screamed, and even saw many people holding bouquets, as if they wanted to rush over to offer flowers.

Those who didn't know thought it was some idol and her fan group.

Even though Shokuhou Misaki was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pressure when he saw the actions of everyone in front of him.

"...Academy City is the home of all the students, and the Academy House is a home for the girls to study and live with peace of mind. No one can disturb you here..." Shokuhou Misaki took the handover from Junko Fanfeng Manuscript paper, read one by one.

It seemed insincere, but because she was Her Lady Queen, no one cared.

"...Well, all in all, please don't be restrained and enjoy the leisurely tea party. If you are interested, you can continue to visit the school house..."

Listening to Shokuhou Misaki's speech on the stage, Chie Isshiki who was in the crowd muttered, "Isn't it a tea party? Why are there such boring speeches?"

"I thought the queen's invitation had some special meaning in it," Yakushiji Mixi also said, "I didn't expect there to be so many people."

Let me add a word, the chasing book app I am using recently, [Mimi Reading app www.mimiread.com] caches books and reads offline!

"Because it was requested by the board of directors." Misaka Mikoto's voice suddenly came from beside her.

Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001 came here because they saw Saten Ruiko dangling in the crowd.

"Board of directors?" Yuan Shanyao looked at her, "That is to say, this tea party was held at the request of the top management?"

"Of course," Misaka Mikoto nodded, "otherwise, how could that guy invite so many people to the Academy House?"

After finishing speaking, Misaka Mikoto frowned and thought for a while: "No, it's really possible that her words are so messy!"

Of course, this is just Misaka Mikoto's complaints.She knew very well that today's tea party was a task arranged by the city's top management.

Because Misaka Mikoto, who is level 5, also received the same commission—but considering her usual performance and personality, the senior management finally decided to let Shokuhou Misaki take charge of this matter.

"Do you know that the Christianity is launching a new round of crusade?" Misaka Mikoto asked.

Yuan Shanyao and the others nodded. Because they are busy playing Ling Xingye these days, whether they like it or not, they have all been baptized by a lot of international and domestic intelligence.
