Hoshino Takanashi showed a heart-warming smile to Si Wang, "I believe that as long as the debt problem of Abydos is solved, even if I disappear in the future, I will definitely be able to help Shirako-chan, Nomiya-chan, Ayane-chan, and Serika-chan to build an Abydos without regrets and pain."
The girl was stunned, as if she was caught in some beautiful fantasy, with a gleam of longing in her eyes, "Brother, a brand new Abydos High School, a brand new...home!"
"..."
Should we say it was unexpected, or unexpected, or unexpected?
Si Wang couldn't help but look up at the ceiling, counting the grains of sand that fell into the light tube. His brain was almost turned into a mess by this sudden development.
Holy crap, the source was actually me?!
So should I commit seppuku to apologize now?
No, the prototype of Abydos seems to be Egypt, not Sakurajima.
Should it be replaced with a mummy?
……
I don't understand, but I was shocked.
"Since Hoshino-san trusts me so much..."
Si Wang covered his forehead, took a deep breath, and tried to pull back those chaotic thoughts, "Then why not just do it in one step and let the teacher solve the debt problem together?"
"This alone won't do, teacher."
Chapter 150 Excessive Demands
Hoshino Takanashi shook her head without hesitation and rejected Si Wang's proposal.
“…That’s a really sad answer.”
After a moment of silence, Si Wang rubbed his aching temple, looked at Kotori Hoshino with a rather resentful look, and said sadly, "Teacher, why am I inferior to that black boiled egg head that makes you, Hoshino, disrespect me so much that you would rather believe his lies than give me a chance?!"
"It has nothing to do with this, teacher."
Hoshino Kotori shuddered as if he had seen something unclean. He quickly rubbed the hairs on his arms and looked at Si Wang helplessly, "Please be a little more normal. I'm old and can't stand being frightened."
"Okay, then can I ask what it's about?" Si Wang immediately put away his complaining expression and put on a serious face, "If the teacher can change it, I will definitely change it immediately."
"Hmm~ How should I put it, or where should I start?"
Hoshino Takanari scratched the back of her head, and a bunch of messy pink hair immediately stood up. After staring at the pattern on the floor in distress for a long time, the girl finally raised her head and looked at Si Wang.
"Teacher, during the confrontation with the representative director of Caesar Group during the day..."
Hoshino Kotori paused, "You actually want to kill him."
The girl's voice was extremely calm, so calm that even she herself could hardly believe that it was the voice that came out of her mouth.
"..."
Si Wang raised his eyebrows and looked up and down at the girl who was looking at him with surprise.
Although he has always known that Hoshino Takanashi is a girl who only appears lazy on the outside, in terms of the meticulousness of her mind, she is much better than Izayoi Nomiya.
But the level of detail was far beyond his expectations.
A big surprise that caught me off guard.
It looks like the plan needs to change a little bit.
"That's amazing, Hoshino-san. How did you find out?"
Si Wang looked at Hoshino Kotori curiously, "Teacher, I am actually quite confident in my ability to manage my facial expressions."
Si Wang did not deny it and confessed his murderous intention very frankly. He might avoid the main point, change the subject, or blur the key point, but he would never lie.
After all, he had traveled through time and space without any companions, so he still wanted to be a little more honest with himself.
"It has nothing to do with the teacher's ability to control her facial expressions. In other words, judging from her appearance, her ability to control her facial expressions is impeccable."
Hoshino Takanashi breathed a sigh of relief, and the huge psychological pressure was instantly relieved because of Si Wang's straightforward honesty.
After all, she was really scared. She was afraid of facing her sudden exposure of her secrets. What should she do if the teacher made excuses and was vague about the matter?
What should I do if the teacher wants to solve the problem alone in a sneaky way like I do?
Press? Ignore?
She couldn't do any of it.
But fortunately, that doesn’t happen anymore.
"It's just that at some point in the past, I, the uncle, also had similar feelings to what the teacher is feeling now, so I can empathize with you and discover a little bit of clues."
Hoshino Takanari put his thumb on the tip of his pinky nail and said, "It's really just a small clue~"
Si Wang looked at the tiny gap between the nails of Kotori Yuu Hoshino's little finger, then looked down at the uneven edge of his own nail, and nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is..."
It seems like there is one more behavioral habit I need to change.
“That’s it~”
Hoshino Kotori stretched his body lazily, twisted his neck which was stiff due to nervousness, and said with a smile, "So in order to protect the purity of the teacher's body and mind, and also to prevent the teacher from becoming a scary adult like Kurofu and Caesar, regarding the proposal to let the teacher solve the debt problem, my answer is - [NO]!"
Hoshino Takanashi put his arms together in front of his chest and made a big [X].
Looking at the pink girl in front of him with a resolute attitude, a soft spot in Si Wang's heart was suddenly touched.
But it's a pity, Hoshino-san...
The ripples inside soon subsided. Si Wang looked out the window. The darkness was vast and boundless. Under the moonlight, the desert and the city had long since merged into one, becoming an indistinguishable chaos.
Teachers don't have to become those scary adults.
After all, teacher, I am already that kind of scary adult.
“My first time as an advisor, I was faced with such a challenging student?”
Si Wang retracted his gaze and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "It's really a headache."
"Hehehe, although it may be a bit unreasonable to say this..."
Hoshino Kotori scratched his cheek and smiled sheepishly, "But next...it might give the teacher a headache."
"Is there anything more outrageous than letting a teacher watch his students go astray and then push them forward?!"
Si Wang's eyes widened, revealing an expression that said "there are experts out there". He subconsciously sat up straight and said, "Don't be polite. Just say it directly. I'll also learn something new."
"Well, maybe it's a little more extreme than what the teacher said."
After Si Wang's summary, Xiao Niaoyou Xingye realized how outrageous his request was. A rare blush appeared on his face and he didn't dare to look Si Wang in the eye.
Fortunately, there are teachers here!
Hoshino Takanashi suddenly felt fortunate that the person sitting next to her was the teacher instead of Shirako-chan and the others.
If it were Bai Zichan and the others, they would have probably grabbed their guns and gone to Caesars Group to blow themselves up halfway through listening, instead of sitting here with me and making jokes with great interest.
He glanced at Si Wang secretly, and seeing that he could always keep a relaxed smile no matter what the situation, Xiao Niaoyou Xingye's chaotic thoughts slowly calmed down.
Although I feel very sorry for the teacher, I can only feel at ease if I leave this matter to the teacher.
"teacher……"
Hoshino Takanari pursed his lips, rubbed the cold and hard touch in his pocket repeatedly with his index finger, and slowly made up his mind.
The girl took a deep breath, took out her clenched right hand from her pocket, and slowly spread it out in front of Si Wang, "I hope that at some unavoidable moment in the future, where Bai Zijiang and the others can't see, you can use it to shatter my halo without hesitation."
In the girl's tender white palm, a black bullet, pure without any impurities and as if it had swallowed up all the light and warmth, lay there quietly.
“…This is really…”
After a moment's silence, Si Wang gently took the bullet from the girl's palm. The biting cold seemed to crawl from her fingertips to her forehead and spread to the depths of her soul.
"That's quite excessive..."
"Hehehe~"
Looking at Si Wang sighing, Hoshino Kotori felt a little regretful and sad, but more of a sense of relief.
She clasped her hands together and blinked pitifully at Si Wang, "Uncle, I don't have many friends. Now the only person I can rely on is my teacher. I'm so-so-sorry~"
Chapter 151 Why did a story about two people suddenly have six people? !
"If apologies work, then what's the point of Valkyrie School?"
Si Wang put the bullet into his pocket and put it into the system backpack. He glanced at the pitiful Hoshino Hoshino and said, "However, since I agreed to such a troublesome request from Hoshino-san, then in return, shouldn't Hoshino-san at least agree to such a troublesome request from me?"
"Teacher, please feel free to ask for anything you want!"
Seeing that his biggest concern had been resolved, Hoshino Kotori suddenly became energetic and patted his flat chest, "No matter what the request is, as long as the teacher asks, I will do my best to satisfy the teacher!"
"You're being too confident, Hoshino-san."
Si Wang looked up and down at the girl who spoke so arrogantly.
Whether it was the winking expression or the meaningful tone of voice, there was no doubt that the other party was deliberately saying such words that could be easily misunderstood.
Hmm, your method of changing the subject is still so clumsy, Hoshino-san.
Si Wang nodded and made a judgment in an instant.
"Then please accept this."
Si Wang imitated the bird flying over the stars and mysteriously took out something from his pocket and placed it in the girl's palm.
"This is……"
Because the sense of déjà vu was too strong, at one point Hoshino Yato even thought that Si Wang would take out a bullet from his trouser pocket and put it in her hand.
But the soft and light touch as if it was cotton shattered her illusion.
The girl slowly opened her palm, and a very cute whale pendant was lying there quietly.
The doll is smaller than a palm and has no trademarks on it. The main color of the whale is made of sea blue fur, and only the eyes are specially sewn with black wool to form a very cartoon-like squinting eye, which matches her usual lazy expression very well.
You can see the care of the selector.
"It's a return gift, Hoshino-san." Si Wang paused and said with a teasing smile, "As a return gift for the bullet you gave me."
"Uh, ah, haha..."
Hoshino Kotori's throat was blocked for a moment. She subconsciously turned her head away, not daring to look into Si Wang's eyes. She could only let out two dry and awkward laughs to try to change the subject. "Is there a store in Abydos that sells such cute toys? Uncle, I've been in Abydos for so long and I didn't even know about this~"
"What Hoshino-san said is right. This stuffed toy was not bought by the teacher in Abydos."
Si Wang snapped his fingers, and like a magic trick, he instantly took out two blue tickets with various underwater animals printed on them from his system backpack and waved them in front of Hoshino Kotori. "This is the gift that I sent to you when I bought the AQUARIUM aquarium tickets online."
"【AQUARIUM】Tickets to the aquarium..."
Just a few words, just a faint smile, and Hoshino Takanashi's determination, which she thought was as hard and cold as iron, collapsed in an instant, like a sand castle before the waves, shattered at the touch of a wave.
Joy, sadness...
Happiness, pain...
The emotions suppressed in the heart could not be restrained from rolling outwards, roaring, and in an instant, the surging emotions broke through the constraints of reason and overflowed every nerve in the brain.
I feel dizzy and the head is spinning.
The world seemed to twist and stretch before my eyes like an oil painting. The starry sky was spread under my feet, the floor tiles were pressing on my head, and the walls on both sides of the corridor kept pressing forward and wrapping me up.
In one thousandth of a second, everything was infinitely pulled closer, and after one ten-thousandth, it seemed to be pushed to the end of the world. Suddenly getting bigger and smaller, the world blurred into an abstract painting that no one could understand.
The moon, the stars, the lights...
Curtains, walls, floors...
Their colors faded little by little, and only the teacher's eyes staring at him and the softness of the whale doll in his hand were so clear and so warm.
Hoshino Takanari subconsciously clenched the whale doll in his hand, fearing that it would slip away from his palm. But he realized something was wrong a moment later and quickly loosened his fingers, fearing that he would leave a dent on it.
"Teacher, why did you buy tickets to the AQUARIUM aquarium?"
With a trembling body, a dizzy head, and a heart that seemed to be beating violently against her eardrums, the girl murmured to herself in a voice so soft that only she could hear it, "I don't understand the teacher at all..."
"When we were at the black market, didn't Hoshino-san say that she wanted to go to the AQUARIUM aquarium to see all kinds of fish and fish sashimi?"
Si Wang pressed one of the tickets into the girl's trembling palm. "After I came back from the black market that day, I happened to see the news about the reconstruction of the Aquarium on a TV advertisement on the roadside. I happened to have some money left in my pocket, so I spent all the remaining money and booked 6 tickets at once."
"I didn't expect to be so lucky. I happened to catch the last day of the store opening event." Si Wang rubbed the whale's soft head and smiled, "This doll is a gift from the event."
"Hey, thanks, old...wait, 6?"
Hoshino Kotori was stunned for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. "Aren't there two of us? Why did you buy six tickets?"
