Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"I'm sorry, Mr. Roland, I was too reckless!"

Shirai Kuroko knelt respectfully on the sofa and apologized to Roland sincerely in a doge-seating posture.

There was no trace of false guilt on her face.

"Well...what should I do?"

Roland held his chin, leisurely tapped the table with his fingertips, picked up the strawberry cake in front of him and took a bite.

After Hatsuharu Shikiri and Saten Ruiko arrived to resolve the misunderstanding, he was half-pushed and half-pushed to this family restaurant to apologize.

"I'm really sorry! Everything is Shirai-senpai's fault!"

Hatsuharu Shikiri, who was standing next to Shirai Kuroko, also bent down deeply and bowed to Roland, who looked indifferent.

But in the face of the two girls' pitiful pleas, Roland remained unmoved, just fiddling with the strawberries on the cream, as if thinking about something.

This made Saten Ruiko next to him tug at Roland's sleeves with some reluctance.

"Well, Mr. Roland, they didn't seem to do it on purpose, and it was because I warned Hatsuharu directly that Senior Shirai was so anxious. Can you forgive them?"

She didn't feel sorry for Shirai Kuroko, but she felt a little guilty seeing her friend being implicated and making amends.

"That's not okay. It's a serious act of exceeding authority to casually make your subjective judgment public outside the school without seeing the crime scene."

"Especially when it involves a mistake of catching the wrong person, that is, there was no one on that street, what if there was someone? Even if the misunderstanding is clarified afterwards, in this information society, there will still be many people who don't know the truth and take it seriously."

"Besides, if it only involves my personal reputation, it's fine, but you know, Saten-san, I'm still an employee of Blue Dream Company."

"At this critical moment, it's inevitable that someone will take this matter out to make a fuss."

Roland looked at Saten Ruiko's pretty face righteously.

"I understand. I didn't think about it enough...

Saten Ruiko was speechless and apologized to Roland with a panicked look on her face.

"As I said before, Saten, the victim, did nothing wrong. It was just some greedy and reckless discipline committee members who made mistakes."

Roland smiled gently.

"I don't mean to hold on to this matter, but if you don't correctly understand the seriousness of this matter and take it lightly, it won't serve as a warning. "

Listening to Roland's meaningful words, Hatsuharu Shikiri couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Roland's attitude of not wanting to give up at all can be said to have accurately grasped their pain points.

In this city that is basically composed of students and schools, the duties of the discipline committee members have been further expanded, becoming a role with law enforcement power, like a civilian security guard.

But having said that, as an autonomous organization mainly composed of students, helping to find lost items, traffic duty and other community services are the daily routine of the discipline committee members, rather than stopping sudden crimes.

Therefore, after officially joining the job, Shirai Kuroko has always hoped to take some actions that are more in line with her dreams. For this reason, she often exceeds the rules and actively participates in stopping criminal activities outside the school.

To be honest, this is nothing. After all, although the age limit of the discipline committee members is very loose, they are also official personnel who must undergo training and assessment before they can take on the role. .

Even if they participated in stopping crimes outside the school, they would just write a letter of repentance. If they made contributions, they would be very proud and let it go.

But when they caught the wrong person and lost their foothold, this was completely different.

As a civilian law enforcer played by students, the discipline committee has always been questioned by the outside world.

After this violation was exposed, I am afraid that not only their branch, but also the fairness of this profession would suffer a devastating blow.

Therefore, after understanding the course of events, she did not even take Roland back to the branch to take a statement, but hoped to reconcile with Roland in private.

Seeing that Roland did not give in, Hatsuharu Shirai did not hesitate to press down the head of Shirai Kuroko who was tentatively raising her head again.

"I am very sorry, Shirai-senpai will definitely realize her mistake. As long as you can forgive her, she is willing to do anything!"

"Oh, how much consciousness do you have to say such words? You are just her junior, can you bear her reputation? Don't say things you can't do. "

Roland chuckled, his eyes were somewhat playful.

"Eh?"

Hatsuharu Shikiri's smile froze on her face. Although she was sharp and determined, she still underestimated the filthiness of the adult world and was caught by the pain point of the words.

"Hatsuharu's words are my attitude!"

But just as the girl hesitated, Shirai Kuroko also spoke sternly.

She looked at Roland with gritted teeth and glared at him fiercely. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, she would have bitten him.

Although being spanked is not an unforgivable punishment for girls of their age, not to mention that Shirai Kuroko also knows that she is somewhat biased towards the M side.

But the same thing, done by different people, will result in completely different results.

For Shirai Kuroko, who has never suffered any setbacks since childhood, being spanked by a man in her arms is a nightmare scene, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the most humiliating experience in life.

After all... even my elder sister never hit me!

However, let's put things in perspective. Now is not the time to worry about this.

She felt guilty for causing Hatsuharu Shikiri to apologize with her. When she realized that all the discipline committee members would be involved, Shirai Kuroko's sense of responsibility rose.

"Just like she said, as long as you can forgive me, I will do anything! But that kind of thing is absolutely forbidden!"

"... Although it is good to be confident, if you are too blind to such a figure that can be mistaken for an elementary school student, you will suffer a great loss in the future."

Roland shrugged and said helplessly.

"But since Shirai is so sincere, I can't continue to pester her. So, as Hatsuharu said, you owe me a favor as the result. How about that?"

"Is it okay?"

Hatsuharu Shikiri shouted with some surprise. She was worried that the other party would hold this handle, but she didn't expect him to be so magnanimous.

After all, as a student of Kuroko Shirai, she didn't change her uniform. The stereotype that students of Tokiwadai Middle School are all rich and noble ladies always arouses others' greed.

It couldn't be better that things could be settled so smoothly.

Speaking of which, the other party also saved Ruiko. It turned out that he was so angry because he was wrongly blamed by Shirai Senior, but in fact, he is a good person in essence.

Hatsuharu Shiki, who has begun to think from the perspective of others, has a better impression of Roland.

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

Roland said calmly, looking at Kuroko Shirai who was patting his chest with some relief.

The reason why the other party can still relax so much is probably because he has no idea how terrible the debt of favors, which has no size, no scale, and no time, is.

The more principled a person is, the more he will be trapped by it.

Of course, he is not a devil, starting from this favor.

Kuroko Shirai will use his future life to compensate for the mistakes he made today.

"Come to think of it, isn't this a coincidence? Hatsuharu, you are actually a colleague of Shirai-senpai."

Seeing the atmosphere eased, Saten Ruiko also coughed dryly.

"I always hear you mention how excellent that senior is. I didn't expect to meet you at this time. Although I came a little late, it was really cool at that time!"

"Saten-san... Even if you praise me with such words, I won't feel happy at all."

Shirai Kuroko's mouth twitched, and she was speechless.

If Saten Ruiko's excitement didn't seem fake, she would think that the other party was being sarcastic.

"Hehe, although it's a bit strange, this is also a wonderful fate."

Saten Ruiko smiled a little embarrassedly, put down the spoon after eating the parfait, and her eyes secretly drifted to the hem of Hatsuharu Shikiri's skirt.

Hatsuharu Shikiri, who was already familiar with her friend's personality, immediately pressed down her skirt vigilantly and shrank her white calves into the sofa.

"You are the one, Saten-san! Mr. Roland is here! It's really rude to lift my skirt here!"

"Does this mean that I can lift it up when there's no one around?"

"Of course not!"

Hatsuharu Shiki puffed up her cheeks cutely and scolded her friend.

"Why did you go to the Blue Dream Company? Being too obsessed with urban legends will bring disaster!"

"Ah, you don't know about this yet."

Saten Ruiko touched the back of her head a little embarrassedly and waved her fist excitedly.

"Actually, I received a project invitation from Blue Dream Company. I went to attend the briefing today, so I was able to meet Mr. Roland."

"Blue Dream Company's invitation?!"

As soon as the voice fell, Shirai Kuroko and Hatsuharu Shiki said in unison.

Shirai Kuroko looked at Roland with a suspicious look on her face, "I heard from Hatsuharu that Saten-san seems to be a person without ability..."

In this city, people with abilities are the absolute core.

Therefore, people without abilities cannot get any invitation to research projects at all.

Although it would be a lie to say that all projects do not require the participation of people with disabilities.

But those plans that require people with disabilities are basically just to increase the number of control groups, which is generally not beneficial and dangerous.

There are even people with bad intentions who use this excuse to squeeze the money of people with disabilities who have aspirations, and even cause a crisis of personal safety.

Even in Blue Dream Company, there is only one plan that requires people with disabilities.

"Did you participate in the Dream Maker Project?"

Hatsuharu Shiki slapped the table excitedly and stood up, "That project is to install equipment on the cerebral cortex, which is too dangerous for us! And the reputation of Blue Dream Company is honest..."

"Ahem!"

Shirai Kuroko laughed dryly and pointed to Hatsuharu Shiki at Roland who was eating cake peacefully next to him.

Even if she was really worried about her friend, it was still too offensive to expose her shortcomings in front of others, especially when the other party had done them a favor.

Hatsuharu Shiki had no choice but to suppress her doubts and confusion and sat down angrily.

She knew that Lanmeng Company was not as bad as the rumors said. On the contrary, it actually promoted the development and implementation of many technologies.

But precisely because of this, the fact that it went from an unknown underground organization to a leading enterprise in Academy City within a year only further revealed its danger.

"In that case, do you want to come and take a look?"

Roland looked at Uiharu Shiri.

"What does it mean?"

The girl who was suddenly clicked was stunned.

"Looking at Blue Dream's project briefing, it's natural for you to have such concerns. After all, Dream Creator is also something installed on the brain."

Roland sighed involuntarily.

"That's why I want to get rid of this prejudice as much as possible. After all, fear comes from the unknown. However, due to the development of the project, I can't make a big splash in the early stage. It's within my ability to just add a few observers alone. of."

"Having Uiharu, who is a member of the Disciplinary Committee, watch the whole process, it will help to alleviate some of the uneasiness in your heart."

"Well...but with Shokuhou-san here, you don't have to worry about that."

Roland said lightly.

Uiharu Shili was stunned again.

"Well, Shokuhou-san, does he mean..."

"Shouhou Misaki-san from Tokiwadai."

Roland smiled slightly.

“She is not only the spokesperson of Blue Dream, but also one of the leaders of the Dream Maker program.”

"Will the fifth person also participate?"

With the endorsement of a superpower and Roland's guarantee, Uiharu Shiri also relaxed a lot.

"Well, in fact, she is a close friend of mine. If you are so looking forward to it, how about she do the first project briefing?"

Roland casually dropped a piece of bombshell news.

Saten Ruiko, who was not a fan of superpowers, had no reaction, but Shirai Kuroko, who was drinking tea, almost spit out the tea and glanced at Roland with admiration and disbelief.

"Close...close friends? Do Mr. Roland and Shokuhou-san have that kind of relationship?"

Uiharu Shiri's pretty face was slightly red.

Even if she is a little precocious because of her work as a disciplinary committee member, she is still someone who is admired.

One of them is Tokiwadai's ace, Misaka Mikoto. Whether it is her inspirational experience or her status as a eldest lady like a modern princess, the girl is full of longing.

And the other one is naturally Shokuhou Misaki, who is also a superpower.

Not only did she become the recognized queen of Tokiwadai in the first grade, she also transcended her status as a student and made great achievements in her career. She was simply a mature and perfect ideal woman.

It is already Uiharu Shiori's life goal to become such a handsome woman in the future.

And now, such an idol is actually going to appear in front of her?

"I'm going!"

"Hey, Hatsuharu?"

Because Uiharu Shiori made a quick decision, Shirai Kuroko was so surprised that she almost didn't hold the tea cup.

Didn't you just try to dissuade Saten-san from falling into such a scam that doesn't seem to be reliable at first glance? Why did I fall in love as soon as I heard that woman’s name!

She looked at Saten Ruizi absentmindedly, hoping that the other party would give some response to this matter, but found that the girl did not look at her at all.

"Sorry, it's too much trouble for you!"

"It doesn't matter. The ideal of Blue Dream Company is to allow everyone to freely control their destiny. We want to prove that the incompetent are never useless.

"The so-called human beings are all stars, but some have not yet reached the moment when they should shine."

"Even if we are misunderstood, we will not stop here, let alone give up."

"This is really..."

Saten Ruiko looked at Roland with a compassionate face and was so moved that she almost shed tears.

Even if you are misunderstood and disliked by others, you must consider everyone. This is such a noble character.

"I will try my best, Mr. Roland!"

Saten Ruiko showed a determined expression.

Damn it... this kid is already a believer.

Shirai Kuroko raised his forehead with black lines on his face and glanced at Roland.

Even though the other party acted so righteously, he couldn't find any flaws.

Although this might just be arbitrary due to the pain in his butt, Shirai Kuroko still chose to trust his instincts.

- This guy doesn't look like a nice guy at all.

In order to prevent the two friends who were already as dazed as pure lambs from being sent to the wolf's mouth, Shirai Kuroko also sighed.

Although she didn't want to involve her sister, she had no choice.

"Mr. Roland, since you said it doesn't matter if you add a few observers, can I also invite an extra friend?"
