Bronya is here and has told it all!
After learning about Kiana's recent condition, Lu Mian thought for a moment, then stood up, walked all the way to Kiana's bedroom, and knocked on the closed door.
"Boom boom boom——"
Following three dull knocks on the door, a burst of cheerful footsteps like a wild horse running wild was heard in the house, coming from far away and getting closer.
In no more than three seconds, the door opened.
Kiana, wearing short-sleeved shirt and shorts, a neutral yet convenient and comfortable home outfit, was leaning unsteadily on the door frame, looking bright.
Through the gap not blocked by her graceful figure, one could glimpse Himeko Muliangta who was looking back at him from the desk not far away.
Kiana, who was happy as long as she didn't have to study, thought that being able to take advantage of the time to chat with Lu Mian to be lazy was really stupid - she couldn't help laughing.
The corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and his words lacked rationality:
"Ah, Amien? When did you come? Yes, I want to see you, too."
"I heard that you've had some difficulties in your studies recently, so I thought of coming to see you." Lu Mian replied.
While the two were chatting, Wuliangta Jizi, who was originally sitting in front of the desk, walked closer.
Then, she seemed even more excited than Kiana as she held Lu Mian's hands and said, "Comrade Lu, you are finally here. I can't hold on any longer. Can we switch shifts?"
I don’t know how Kiana “tortured” her just now.
But I think it definitely won’t be easy.
It just so happened that Lu Mian had this intention and was an easy-going person, so he nodded in response immediately.
He happily sent Wuliangta Jizi away, then closed the door with Kiana.
Seeing Wuliangta Jizi being sent away by Lu Mian, Kiana was even happier. She didn't realize the current situation at all and said with a smile:
"I know you're the one who treats me well, Amian. You won't force me to study like Aunt Jizi did, right?"
In response, Lu Mian smiled but said nothing.
It has come to this point, and Kiana also reacted, "You won't do that, right?"
Lu Mian still didn't respond. He just smiled and put his arm around Kiana as he walked to the desk and sat down, saying earnestly:
"Ji Zi didn't want to force you to study, so you just ran off to who knows where when you had some free time.
"I don't want to force you to study, but I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do.
"But think about it. If your grades don't improve, you won't end up well when Theresa comes."
As the words fell, Kiana shuddered reflexively and couldn't help looking back towards the door behind her.
When she first entered school, she was beaten by Theresa because she was too naughty and disobedient.
Those tender, loving and unparalleled iron fists really made her cry like a cat or a bug.
I still feel scared.
Therefore, it is normal to have such a reaction.
Seeing that his "persuasion" of explaining the pros and cons was effective, Lu Mian could not help but nodded slightly with satisfaction, "So you still have to learn it."
"Ah - but I can't read a single word. What should I do in this situation? Amian, help me." Kiana shook Lu Mian's arm, crying cutely but a little wronged.
The smiling Lu Mian was shaken like seaweed, and his gentle voice trembled:
"In fact, this situation is easy to handle. You don't even need to pass all the subjects next time. You just need to make reasonable progress to show Theresa that you are getting better.
"The rest can all be attributed to the fact that I have lived with Mr. Siegfried since I was young. I have never experienced systematic learning and education, and I have not developed the awareness and habit of learning."
The reasons for this explanation are reasonable.
At least it makes sense for Theresa, a loser who knows Siegfried but has a bad impression of him.
So there is no need to worry about the other party not buying it.
After hearing Lu Mian's suggestion, Kiana still looked uninterested and inexplicably a little embarrassed.
She pressed her index fingers against her chest like wrestling, her eyes were indescribably vague, "Actually, my aunt gave me plenty of time, and she also arranged basic tutoring for me.
"It's just that I spent all my time and energy on going out and finding delicious food..."
Now, it was Lu Mian's turn to be silent.
It is well known that Theresa would mess up on all kinds of things.
But there must be no problem at all with "enough time" and "basic tutoring" that even Kiana would remember.
Things suddenly became difficult to control.
And the time and energy that Kiana mentioned is going to go...
You gotta say it, the cake is really delicious.
Then she must have been very happy when she was playing, and it can be considered a success.
Feeling helpless, Lu Mian pursed his lips and spoke suddenly, but with a strong dose of medicine:
"Kiana, I found where Mr. Siegfried went."
The words came out softly, but to Kiana at that moment, they were of great weight.
The saying “I am enjoying myself here and don’t want to fly away” is just a joke.
To find that stinky old dad who had suddenly disappeared, and then give him a good punch in the face - this was the original purpose of her journey all the way to today.
Even though he has found St. Freya's Academy, which feels like home, he has also met a group of friends and relatives like Lu Mian, Raiden Mei, Bronya, Himeko Muruta, and Theresa.
This original purpose has not changed at all.
I don’t know whether I should be surprised or confused at this moment. Kiana, a straightforward and innocent girl, rarely hesitated. "Amian, have you really found the whereabouts of my stinky dad? Don’t lie to me, I will be really angry."
"Silly girl, what good would it do for me to lie to you when I have nothing better to do?
"I do know Mr. Siegfried's movements, but I just learned about it some time ago and haven't had the chance to tell you." Lu Mian gently combed Kiana's hair. He was not solemn and dignified, but not frivolous at all.
Hearing this, Kiana pursed her cherry-like pink lips and asked tentatively:
"Then A-Mian, can you please tell me the whereabouts of my stinky father right now?"
Lu Mian smiled and remained unmoved. "No, use your improved grades to exchange for it. Kiana, you don't want Mr. Siegfried to just slip away right under your nose, do you?"
A Chinese man spoke his native dialect of the Far East to Europeans.
It's a bit weird, but if you think about it carefully, it seems okay.
Leaving aside the brainstorm in Lu Mian’s mind, when Kiana heard that not only could she not immediately learn about Siegfried’s movements, she also had to study, she instantly wilted like a deflated ball.
But soon, she became strong again and full of fighting spirit.
On the one hand, she also knew that Lu Mian was doing this for her own good, and was worried that she would be beaten into a cat-and-mouse mess by the furious Theresa again;
On the other hand, she is a lively and athletic girl and is naturally not afraid of any challenge.
Even though this challenge is a bit mind-boggling...
Seeing that Kiana was eager to learn, Lu Mian nodded and said, "In that case, let me tutor you for a while.
"Where is your test paper from the previous exam? I want to know your specific score first."
This is a lie. The total score of eight subjects is 21 points. What else is there to know?
The main reason he said this was because he wanted to see with his own eyes what the test paper with a total score of 21 points for eight subjects looked like.
Kiana obviously hadn't figured out the twists and turns, and just casually handed over the small backpack with a cat pattern printed on it.
By the time she realized what was wrong and tried to stop it, it was already too late.
"Wait, don't!"
Hearing the girl's exclamation, Lu Mian, full of curiosity, pulled out all the test papers from his schoolbag.
Well, it's explosive.
Now, the most interesting thing is not that Kiana’s total score of eight subjects is 21 points, but that she filled out every paper and still only got 21 points.
Isn't she European?
Where's the good luck? Where's the good luck? Help!
"Ah, don't look, don't look!"
Not sure if it was because Lu Mian's eyes were too naked when he looked at the test paper, or because her own sense of shame exploded at this moment, Kiana felt so ashamed and angry that she quickly reached out to grab the test paper from the former.
Looking at Kiana like this, Lu Mian curled the corners of his lips slightly, without any resistance, and let the other party take the test paper from his hand.
"What's there to be shy about? How can I make fun of you because of this? Come on, let me show you this first..." As he said this, he moved closer to Kiana.
During the whole process, Kiana just stared at Lu Mian blankly.
As she looked at him, the shame on her face turned into a smile.
Chapter 34: Attack of the Giant Insect (Two in One)
Lu Mian and Kiana, who was itching to learn, were flipping through books and studying enthusiastically, so we will leave this aside for now.
At the same time, on the other side, in the principal's office.
"Grandpa, why do you seem to have become thinner?"
After saying good morning to each other, Theresa, who didn't know the Fool had left, looked at the image of Otto projected in the air in front of her with a curious look.
Hearing this, Otto, whose figure was obviously much more graceful and slender than the Fool, smiled kindly and amiably.
That was a kind and amiable manner that didn't match the appearance of a young woman in her twenties, but she didn't think there was anything wrong at all, and Theresa, who was talking to her on the phone, didn't think anything was wrong either.
She smiled softly and said:
"This is because grandpa often misses you and can't see you in person. He often loses his appetite, so he loses weight."
But there was no intention to refute the title of "grandfather" at all.
Otto, whose female identity had been revealed during her last meeting with Lu Mian, still maintained a deliberately neutral makeup.
It's not that she has any special complex about dressing up as a man.
The main reason is that she will take over the identity of "The Fool" and rule the entire destiny.
A suddenly male-female Archbishop of Destiny is still a bit too humorous for a Valkyrie with a full Destiny.
After hearing Otto's answer, Theresa curled her lips silently, with a look of intimacy, but not much.
Her attitude towards the Fool, or Otto, is directly dependent on the current state of Kiana, who is actually a "Kiana clone".
Kiana doesn't seem to have any problems at the moment, so she can naturally be as close to the other party as possible, like a loving grandfather and a filial granddaughter.
But if something goes wrong with Kiana, then everything will be very difficult to say...
"Grandpa... I'm no longer the Valkyrie of destiny. I'm now the principal of St. Freya Academy. I definitely can't sit by your side and be as close to you as before." After a little thought, Theresa pretended to be mature.
It can also be regarded as a positive response to Otto's topic of "missing".
Then, she continued to ask curiously:
"Grandpa, your eyes seem to have changed too. They look brighter and more beautiful than before, more like gemstones."
"This must be to see you more clearly, dear." Otto was in a good mood after being praised. He stroked his smooth white chin and said so.
"Hey - Grandpa, where did you learn such words?" Theresa's delicate body inevitably trembled as she spoke, but her attention was quickly drawn back, "Grandpa, your hands seem to have become more beautiful too?"
As we all know, if something doesn't look like a green lily, doesn't smell like a green lily, and doesn't even feel like a green lily, it's a green lily.
Then it is most likely not a green lily.
We should have some doubts about this.
But now it was Theresa who was in this scene, and everything seemed to make perfect sense.
I really didn't doubt anything at all.
Otto had no intention of disguising himself, nor was he afraid that Theresa would notice anything. All his previous excuses were merely to amuse his juniors in an affectionate way.
Anyway, she was having a lot of fun:
"My hands have become more beautiful than before? That must be to hold you better, dear."
"Grandpa, why don't you just call me 'Lovely Theresa' like you did in Tianming. I can't stand this darling thing..."
