The Shokuhou Faction was asked to help deal with various incidents that occurred during the Summer Festival. As the actual manager of the Sadan Faction, Hokaze Junko naturally knew about this.
However, due to the Queen's command, Hokaze Junko needed to stay by Lin Wuming's side and could not leave at will.
Therefore, the current Hokaze Junko was already distracted and restless.
The other members of the Sadan Faction, including the Queen, were busy working for the Summer Festival and contributing their strength; only she, as the Queen's most capable assistant, could not go to help, which made her feel guilty.
Just then, Shirai Kuroko stared at her phone screen for a while and finally made up her mind: "Wuming-senpai, I am very sorry! Please allow me to leave first!"
Shirai Kuroko was today's official maid and obviously knew the urgency of the current situation better, so she couldn't continue to idle here.
"Don't mind me, you go get busy," Lin Wuming also saw how busy the maids were today, so he naturally didn't mind.
Seeing Shirai Kuroko leave, Hokaze Junko realized that her mission was also over and she no longer needed to follow Lin Wuming, so she also said goodbye and left.
The two from Tokiwadai Middle School hurried away, leaving only Haruue Erii and Saten Ruiko.
Although they were also considered "old friends" with Lin Wuming, overall, their intimacy had not reached the level of Shirai Kuroko and Hokaze Junko.
Therefore, now that only the two of them and Lin Wuming were together, the atmosphere felt a bit awkward.
One should know that whenever they encountered Wuming-senpai in the past, he would at least have Hu Feng Toumi by his side, unlike now, where he was completely unguarded...
Fortunately, Lin Wuming also saw the two girls' discomfort, so he said: "You don't need to mind me, just continue to visit the places you want to see. I'll just stroll around by myself for a bit."
Saten Ruiko looked at the time and then opened the guide manual in her hand: "How about this, the public performance starts at 2:30 PM, everyone will definitely go to see it, so let's meet there!"
Lin Wuming watched the two girls' receding figures, then looked left and right—there was no one around him.
To be honest, for Lin Wuming, this was indeed a rather rare situation.
"Free time?" Lin Wuming pinched his chin and showed a smile, "It's quite interesting to do this once in a while."
Although Lin Wuming had no interest in the specific exhibits of the Summer Festival, the experience of wandering around the exhibition alone like this was itself an enjoyable experience.
Coupled with the disguise, no one recognized him—most of the time he wouldn't be recognized—which gave him a true sense of "freedom."
It was as if... he was independent of this world, silently observing and examining everything around him from a transcendent third-person perspective.
This inexplicably reminded Lin Wuming of his special experience during a "soul out of body" incident...
"That's it!" Realizing this, Lin Wuming instinctively reached out, trying to grasp this special feeling.
During the "soul out of body" situation, Lin Wuming could even manipulate the sand giant to directly confront the angel's God's Power! It could be said that it was his peak state.
Unfortunately, since the Angel Fall incident ended, no matter how Lin Wuming tried, he could no longer reproduce that state.
And now, by accident, Lin Wuming felt that he had suddenly grasped a certain key to it...
Lin Wuming's outstretched hand grabbed nothing.
This was natural, after all, what Lin Wuming wanted to "grasp" was a feeling, or rather, an "enlightenment."
By the time he realized it, he had already missed it.
Shaking his head and sighing helplessly, Lin Wuming felt lost and had no choice but to continue walking forward.
In the restaurant, Index struggled a bit to stuff the last piece of cake in front of her into her mouth.
Kamijou Touma, holding a glass of milk beside her, hesitated whether to hand it to her.
"You really don't have to force yourself so much," Kamijou Touma said with a wry smile, "I'm really worried you might throw up at any moment..."
Because Index had indeed eaten to this extent—to put it simply, the food had already reached her throat and could overflow at any time.
That was the truth, the silver-haired nun lay back in her chair, unable to move for a moment.
Actually, when Kamijou Touma found her, Index had already eaten her fill contentedly.
After that, the reason why Index continued to eat lunch was initially just an excuse to interact with Lin Wuming and complete her task.
However, during the subsequent negotiation process, Index suddenly realized that her intention had touched a taboo and might even affect the good relationship between Lin Wuming and Kamijou Touma, so she hurriedly ended the topic and then used excessive eating and drinking to cover up her embarrassment, and incidentally dispel Lin Wuming and their concerns.
Kamijou Touma also saw this, so he did not stop Index's overeating.
For Kamijou Touma, if the relationship between Lin Wuming and Necessarius became tense, then he would also be very uncomfortable caught in the middle.
However, Kamijou Touma still overestimated Index's appetite... or rather, he underestimated the amount of food Index had already eaten before this.
After spending so much time together, it was the first time Kamijou Touma saw Index frown at delicious food, looking troubled.
Of course, even so, Index still insisted on eating all the food in front of her, without wasting a single bit.
"I feel like I won't be hungry until tonight," Index said.
For some reason, the maids serving in the restaurant gathered around and clapped together, as if celebrating something.
"Miss Nun," a maid stepped forward and asked, "How would you rate today's dishes?"
"Hmm..." Index struggled twice, and finally stood up with Kamijou Touma's help, "Thank you very much for your warm hospitality, all the dishes were delicious, I am very satisfied!"
The maids cheered and clapped even more enthusiastically.
After confirming that Index would not continue dining, the maids in charge of the restaurant immediately readjusted their division of labor, assigning half of their staff to support other areas.
"How busy," noticing this scene, Kamijou Touma couldn't help but exclaim, "These young ladies are quite remarkable too."
These were genuine young ladies from a noble girls' school, yet they played the role of maids so diligently and without complaint, which was truly commendable.
