Chapter 815: The Persistent Girl
"Teacher Kagun, did you notice anything?" Yun Chuan Ju Ya, dressed in her signature bumblebee-colored maid outfit, tilted her head and looked at the man beside her.
Although it was still the height of summer, Kihara Kagun was wearing a grey trench coat, almost completely covering himself.
At this moment, he and Yun Chuan Ju Ya were watching from a short distance away from the convenience store.
Everything that happened in the brief one hundred seconds just now was witnessed by both of them.
Or, to be precise, it was witnessed by Kihara Kagun. As for Yun Chuan Ju Ya, most of her attention during the entire time was focused on the man.
The man she had longed for and pursued for a long time—Teacher Kihara Kagun.
At this moment, Yun Chuan Ju Ya sincerely thanked her sister, Yun Chuanqin Ya, for introducing her to this part-time job.
She was even more grateful to Lin Wuming—this young man who actually already possessed the authority of a Toku Ko Ri Shi—who, for some unknown reason, completely delegated power to her and almost never interfered with her actions.
Thanks to this, Yun Chuan Ju Ya was able to grasp the clue to Teacher Kihara Kagun and intercept him the moment he returned to Academy City!
What made Yun Chuan Ju Ya even happier was that Teacher Kihara Kagun hadn't changed; he still greeted her gently and kindly, just like three years ago, and even agreed to let her accompany him...
Well, Yun Chuan Ju Ya wasn't foolish at all; she naturally knew that Kihara Kagun's gentleness and kindness weren't exclusively for her.
In fact, Kihara Kagun was equally gentle to all 'life'—except for Kihara Pathology.
—And also, the reason Teacher Kihara Kagun agreed to let her accompany him was for Lin Wuming, wasn't it?
Yun Chuan Ju Ya thought to herself, because she could keep track of Lin Wuming's movements.
After all, in Lin Wuming's eyes, Yun Chuan Ju Ya, who was in charge of the accounts, could be considered half an 'insider'; at least Shokuhou Misaki would occasionally go to 'check the accounts', which ensured Yun Chuan Ju Ya's loyalty.
Therefore, ordinary actions would not be kept secret from Yun Chuan Ju Ya, this 'insider'—especially when large-scale resource allocation was needed, her role as a housekeeper was unavoidable.
She didn't even need to be specifically told; she could completely deduce Lin Wuming's destination through the various clues she held.
Yun Chuan Ju Ya was actually very unwilling in her heart. Teacher Kihara Kagun and Lin Wuming had never met, and there had been no previous interaction between them, yet his risky return to Academy City this time was specifically for Lin Wuming!
And now, risking getting so close was also to observe what was happening to Lin Wuming up close...
Yun Chuan Ju Ya could also understand; just by looking at the commotion just now, it was clear that something extraordinary must have happened with Lin Wuming.
Teacher Kihara Kagun was still a 'Kihara' after all, and a researcher's instinct was irresistible.
So, Yun Chuan Ju Ya brought up the topic, asking, "Did you notice anything?"
But when she turned her head to look, Yun Chuan Ju Ya was surprised to find that Teacher Kihara Kagun's expression was unprecedentedly serious, even to the point of being 'grim'.
Since knowing Teacher Kihara Kagun, this was the first time Yun Chuan Ju Ya had seen him show such an expression!
"I see," Kihara Kagun nodded and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Kihara Gensei used the experimental data I left behind."
Huh? This answer surprised Yun Chuan Ju Ya. But what surprised her even more was yet to come.
"Moreover," Kihara Kagun said coldly, "he also used Kihara Pathology's technology! I didn't expect..."
Originally, Kihara Kagun's return this time was just to meet Lin Wuming and discuss his research findings on 'near-death experiences'.
However, he unexpectedly stumbled upon a clue about Kihara Pathology...
—This, above all, cannot be ignored!
Thinking of this, Kihara Kagun strode forward.
"Eh? Teacher Kagun?" Yun Chuan Ju Ya quickly followed.
"Something seems to have happened over there; let's go take a look." Kihara Kagun didn't explain much to the girl beside him, merely finding a casual excuse.
With Shokuhou Misaki's departure, there was indeed some commotion around Lin Wuming.
The problem still lay with Ailei.
When controlling her body, Shokuhou Misaki seemed not to have shielded Ailei's own consciousness.
So Ailei was very clear about what had just happened to her and around her, and she remained very calm after regaining her freedom.
However, one thing was beyond Lin Wuming and the others' expectations—
"Hu Feng Toumi, come, kill me." The moment she regained her freedom, the assassin girl calmly spread her arms, defenselessly facing Hu Feng Toumi.
Hu Feng Toumi was originally very uneasy about Ailei and had been glaring at her menacingly, but now she was somewhat at a loss due to this action.
"Didn't Shokuhou say this guy wouldn't seek death?" Misaka Mikoto also clicked her tongue.
Ailei explained, "The Queen is a good person. She didn't shield my consciousness; every operation was performed in front of me."
"No, wasn't Shokuhou's brainwashing quite successful then?" Misaka Mikoto retorted.
"So I'm very clear," Ailei ignored Misaka Mikoto's retort, "the Queen's command actually had a problem—at the time, she was solely focused on saving Senior Wuming, which is why she demanded that I couldn't die; after that, the Queen worried that I would use my esper ability to harm you, so she revised the command to not lay a hand on you."
Saying this, Ailei shrugged: "However, from beginning to end, the Queen never asked me not to simply seek death! As long as I don't activate my esper ability, don't involve others, and then ask others to help kill me, that's fine."
"Why do you have to seek death?" Misaka Mikoto looked at her, dumbfounded, feeling that she really couldn't understand this child's thought process.
Lin Wuming also said, "You've misinterpreted Shokuhou's meaning; her command is pure: she just doesn't want you to die."
"No," Ailei shook her head, "that was for you, Senior Wuming! I could feel the Queen's true intention at the time; she was truly devoted only to you, with no extra thought for me."
"Please don't hesitate; this is my long-cherished wish." Ailei looked at Hu Feng Toumi and said, "I've tried many times, but I've never succeeded, and now because of the Queen's command, it's even more impossible to end myself. So, please, Hu Feng Tong Xue! Anyway, you also want to eliminate me, this hidden danger, right?"
Hu Feng Toumi, however, didn't even look at her, concentrating on holding Lin Wuming's arm, supporting his body.
"I'm not doing it," Hu Feng Toumi snorted softly, muttering.
