For Lin Wuming, today's Summer Festival activities, watching people was much more interesting than visiting the various exhibition halls set up by the clubs at the festival itself. It's rare to see such a lively yet orderly scene on normal days.
"Yes, after all, it's a rare open day. On weekdays, the outside world has no way of knowing the detailed information about Tokiwadai Middle School, so of course, many people will come here! And because it's Tokiwadai Middle School, there's a natural guarantee of order."
Someone suddenly spoke beside him. It was a girl in a uniform, wearing glasses.
"Kogawa-senpai!" Shirai Kuroko and Haruue Erii saw her and quickly greeted her.
Saten Ruiko was a beat slow but followed closely with her greeting.
Kazakiri Hyouka also smiled and greeted them.
Turning his head, it was indeed Kogawa Meiwei and Heiqi Mianliu.
Perhaps to match Kogawa Meiwei and considering the occasion of the visit, Heiqi Mianliu uncharacteristically wore a male student uniform, looking like a member of some sports club.
But to be honest, Heiqi Mianliu's new image always gave people a sense of mismatch, especially for those who knew him—before actually seeing it, it was really hard to imagine that this famous Da Spiders would have such a side.
Lin Wuming couldn't help but size him up, feeling very novel.
"Yo, long time no see, Wuming Student." Kogawa Meiwei greeted him calmly.
As Lin Wuming gradually withdrew from Judgment's frontline activities, his frequency of meeting Kogawa Meiwei indeed decreased significantly.
"Hey, don't stare, Wuming." Heiqi Mianliu, who was beside him, seemed a bit unaccustomed. He slightly pulled open the collar of his shirt and scratched his head, "Do I look strange in my current outfit? Although it might be inappropriate for me to say this... I am a student, after all."
He was just a delinquent student facing the danger of dropping out.
This is not strange, because this is Academy City, and all young people here have the identity of "student"—even the test subjects are no exception.
So, theoretically, Heiqi Mianliu also has student status, and therefore, Heiqi Mianliu naturally has a school uniform for the school he attends.
"Cough, sorry." Lin Wuming cleared his throat, "Because it's really rare, your outfit... But then again, you recognized me?"
Lin Wuming pushed up his glasses. He was currently in disguise, after all.
Kogawa Meiwei, however, laughed and explained in a low voice, "Just a little reminder, your disguise is indeed very effective, but..."
As she spoke, she looked at the several girls beside Lin Wuming: "If you want your disguise not to be seen through, it's best if you change your way of addressing him."
Their group, consisting of several beautiful girls plus one boy, was already very conspicuous and easily attracted the attention of those around them.
Coupled with the occasional "Wuming-senpai," anyone who knew a little about the situation could easily guess that this boy was Lin Wuming himself.
"Ah, indeed..." Shirai Kuroko showed an expression of miscalculation. She really didn't expect such an oversight in such a basic area.
After all, their way of addressing Lin Wuming had already become fixed, and it was truly difficult to change it for a while.
"By the way, why haven't I seen Hu Feng Tong Xue and the others?" Kogawa Meiwei asked with some concern.
Logically speaking, in a situation like this, it should be Hu Feng Toumi, Misaka Mikoto, and Shokuhou Misaki accompanying Lin Wuming, right?
Just like Kogawa Meiwei herself, taking this opportunity to visit the Summer Festival with Heiqi Mianliu, it was not without the intention of treating it as a "date."
Putting herself in his shoes, Kogawa Meiwei felt that Lin Wuming's situation should be similar.
"It's said there's a situation at the restaurant, so Onee-sama and the others went to handle it together," Shirai Kuroko explained.
"What kind of situation would require two Level 5s and one Level 4 to handle together?" Heiqi Mianliu asked in surprise, "But we just passed by the restaurant, and we didn't seem to hear any commotion?"
Heiqi Mianliu had always maintained contact with Lin Wuming, and with Kogawa Meiwei, an insider, by his side, he also had some understanding of Lin Wuming's situation, knowing how exaggerated the combat power configuration around him was.
Compared to Heiqi Mianliu's rather realistic way of thinking, Kogawa Meiwei immediately understood the current situation.
—Hu Feng Tong Xue and the three of them, because they were mutually restraining each other, they left together instead!
In some sense, they were also quite exhausted.
Kogawa Meiwei chuckled dryly in her heart and had no intention of getting deeply involved in the incident.
Lin Wuming also saw that the other two were on a date, so it was naturally inconvenient to continue disturbing them.
So, the two sides quickly said goodbye and went their separate ways.
"The auction is about to start, let's hurry over," Kogawa Meiwei's fighting spirit reignited, and she pulled Heiqi Mianliu forward, "Quick, this way."
"Heiqi Mianliu... is also quite exhausted," Lin Wuming sighed.
Shirai Kuroko and Saten Ruiko looked at each other, then both sighed silently.
"Alright, do you have any places you want to visit next?" Shirai Kuroko remembered her responsibility as a "tour guide" and asked.
Then, the several girls all looked at Lin Wuming.
"I'm flexible," Lin Wuming shook his head, "You can visit according to your own preferences."
Because Lin Wuming wasn't particularly interested in the specific contents of the visit here.
Shirai Kuroko looked at Haruue Erii and Saten Ruiko.
Haruue Erii immediately raised her hand: "I have a place I want to go!"
In fact, Haruue Erii was one of the most anticipated people for today's Summer Festival.
After all, she had always yearned for the "young lady's life," and this open day at Tokiwadai Middle School was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.
However, until just now, because Senior Lin Wuming was present, out of consideration for etiquette, she didn't feel comfortable expressing her own ideas first.
And Haruue Erii's friends were all moving together, so she hadn't thought of acting alone.
So she just quietly followed along.
Now it's good, since "Senior" said he didn't mind, then of course there's no need to be polite!
Tea ceremony, flower arranging, art, handicrafts... The exhibition rooms, mainly centered around various club activities, were actually not much different from the campus festival activities of most schools.
However, because it was a noble girls' school, even similar types of club activities were of a much higher standard.
It's no exaggeration to say that most of the exhibits could even be directly used for commercial exhibitions.
Therefore, even though Lin Wuming wasn't particularly interested, he didn't feel too bored visiting along the way.
