"do not worry."
"She was just having a meal."
“Dining?
The String God Mingjia looked at the elegant girl sitting at the piano and playing, and a strong fear surged in his heart.
He suddenly felt that he really shouldn't have agreed to Nangong Nayue's request to come here as an undercover agent.
There are so many "monsters" in "Truth Astronomy"!

Chapter 8 Yukino's Choice (4/4)
March 3, 21:3 pm.
The car slowly drove into the parking lot. After parking, Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head and glanced at the figure in the passenger seat.
His own younger sister, Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Just drop me off here. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
Yukinoshita Yukino adjusted her bag, put it on her shoulder, and looked out the window at the alleyway.
From this angle, she could clearly see the roadside sign of the 'Licorice' coffee shop standing on the roadside in the middle of the alley.
"Yukino."
Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly screamed.
Yukinoshita Yukino, who had just opened the car door, stopped moving, turned her head slightly, and said in a cold tone:
"Anything else?"
"Is it about transferring to Toyosaki Academy or moving into an apartment?"
Sitting in the driver's seat, Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the windshield, took a few deep breaths, and then said:
"If you can't stand it, you can come back home...
Before Yang No could finish her words, Yukinoshita Yukino answered:
"Sister seems to have forgotten one thing."
"Huh?" Yang Nai was stunned.
Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath, and then looked into her sister's eyes again. This was the first time they had looked into each other's eyes this year:
"My sister and I are enemies."
Yukinoshita Yukino emphasized in a cold tone.
The family tradition of the Yukinoshita family is to create enemies, defeat enemies, surpass enemies, and thus constantly surpass oneself.
In the Yukinoshita family, the two sisters are natural enemies and rivals in terms of inheritance rights.
This is also the environment that Mrs. Yukinoshita deliberately created, or it can be said that this is the "environment" passed down in the Yukinoshita family.
"There is no doubt that I lost to my sister in the previous competition, which is why my mother agreed without hesitation when I proposed to live outside during high school."
In other words, when it comes to family inheritance rights, Yukinoshita Yukino admitted her failure.
Compared to Haruno, who is good at socializing and always puts the interests of the Yukinoshita family at the heart, Yukino, who is not good at socializing and even dresses herself up as a 'hedgehog' in social situations, is a complete 'failure' for the Yukinoshita family.
"But now, the place I'm going to is no longer the 'sphere of influence' of the Yukinoshita family."
The Yukinoshita family's inherent sphere of influence is the political arena, the 'gentry' represented by the status of county councilors, and the 'construction industry' in Chiba Prefecture. And now, Yukino is very clear that she is going to a path that may be full of life-threatening dangers at any time, but is out of the inherent route of the Yukinoshita family and has a higher ceiling for growth.
This is the only way for me to "overtake on a curve" now that I have already been defeated by my sister and Yang No.
In comparison, even the 'Hinga Shrine' cannot compare to SDS.
Because the Hoshiga Shrine is also within the influence of the 'Yukinoshita Family', Yukino is not stupid, she naturally understands that Hoshiga Shirayuki is closer to her sister than to herself.
That's why she chose to join 'SDS' that day.
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's emphasis, although this was also what she hoped for, Yukinoshita Haruno felt uncomfortable:
"Yukino is so strict. If she continues like this, she'll become like her mother."
Seeing Haruno's playful expression, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned:
"No, I don't want to be like her. It's not important."
She glanced at Yang Nai, pushed the door and got out of the car, while picking up her backpack and said:
"In short, just send it here. Sister doesn't have to worry about the rest, and you don't have to be responsible for it."
However, Haruno behind Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to completely ignore her words and waved her hands and shouted:
"Remember to report safety every 2 hours~"
"If you are harassed, remember to take out the chili peppers to protect yourself. After all, you are so cute, Yukino~"
"So long-winded." Yukinoshita Yukino muttered to herself, then quickened her pace and left Yono's sight.
"welcome!!"
Chitose Nishiki, who was wearing a light red kimono, greeted warmly.
"What would the guest like to drink... Oh!! Isn't this Yukino!"
When Nishiki Chitsuka saw the beautiful girl at the door who looked unattainable, she immediately came over enthusiastically, grabbed Yukino's hand and said:
"According to the time, it is indeed time for you to report, Yukino. I was worried that you would be late this afternoon, but luckily you arrived on time."
"Um..." Yukinoshita Yukino, who had never been able to adapt to Chizuka's enthusiasm no matter how many times she had seen him, said with some difficulty: "Is Mr. Luo Shu here?"
"He's with Takina at the training grounds. Do you want me to take you to him?"
Nishiki Chitsuka let go of Yukino and pointed to the kitchen nearby, then said with a chuckle:
"I think Luo Shujun will be very happy to see you coming."
"Thank you for your help." Yukinoshita Yukino bowed formally to her senior, Chitose.
"Sister Ruixi, I'm taking Yukino to see Luo Shu, please help me here."
"10 minutes." Mizuki Nakahara, who was busy in the kitchen, said without raising her head.
"Ah! I see. I will hurry back to help."
"Hurry up!"
Nishiki Chitsuga trotted up behind Yukinoshita Yukino and gently pushed her.
"Okay, okay." Yukinoshita Yukino was pushed forward.
Soon the two of them passed the kitchen and entered the corridor of the back room, then went down to the basement via the stairs on the side.
Not long after, Yukinoshita Yukino came to the entrance of the underground training ground under the leadership of Chitsuki Nishiki.
Before anyone arrived, Yukinoshita Yukino heard the sound of "bang! bang!", which was like the sound of firecrackers exploding.
"This is?"
"Oh? This sound is the sound of the M240's bullet. It's quite loud."
Hearing this description, Yukinoshita Yukino followed the door that Nishiki Chitsuko had just opened and looked inside the training ground.
What came into her sight was a space the size of a football field.
In the training ground, Inoue Takina held the light machine gun in one hand. Her face, covered by goggles, showed no expression at all. She pulled the trigger of the machine gun, ignoring the recoil.
Orange-red flames exploded from the muzzle to the left and right, madly sweeping towards Luo Shu's location.
Seeing this scene, Yukinoshita Yukino's pupils contracted violently, and she couldn't help but shout:
6. Heart is dangerous! ! "
However, at this moment, indigo flames spread, and something like mist rose around Luo Shu.
The bullets that were shooting at him were like shooting into the fog, penetrating the thick fog and also penetrating Luo Shu's body.
Apart from the obvious collision sound on the ground, there was no other impact.
"People...turned into mist."
Looking at this scene, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.
Is this the 'abnormal' world?
Is this the so-called warlock's ability?
Doubts emerged from the bottom of her heart, and Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously looked at Nishiki Chitsuka, hoping that this "insider" whom she thought of could answer her doubts.
However, when Yukino turned her head, she saw Nishiki Chitsuka's equally stunned face.
"Liar?"
"The person is clearly standing there, so it's useless to fire a machine gun at him?"
It seemed that I heard the voices of two people.
Luo Shu, who used the flame of mist to construct an illusion, stopped moving and said to Inoue Takina opposite him:
"You can stop now, Takina."
"learn."
Inoue Takina looked curiously at Luo Shu's body without any scars, and felt a little envious.
Although she had also been injected with the Adjuster Potion, Luo Shu's current strength obviously could not be explained by the potion.
"Ming/Wooooooa ...
After Takina stopped shooting, Nishiki Chitsuka ran to Luo Shu and started slapping him on the shoulders, waist and abdomen:
"It's a real body! Oh my god, it's a real body, but how did it dodge those bullets just now?"
“This is too amazing!
Luo Shu glanced at the jumping Nishiki Chitsugu, bit his head helplessly, then looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, smiled and said:
"It seems that you have made your choice.
"Are you ready to enter the world of 'abnormal'?"
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a moment, then raised her head, looked directly into Luo Shu's eyes and said:
"I'm ready, Minister."
When Luo Shu heard the voice without hesitation, he immediately smiled with a capitalistic meaning.
Chapter 9: Ms. Yukinoshita Yukino's Rookie Course
(My dad is not feeling well, and according to him, it is a positive sign, which is really scary.)
In a high-rise building near Houlin Park, Sotokanda, Tokyo.
"Then your job today is to sort out our office."
Luo Shu smiled and placed the gloves, broom and dustpan in Yukinoshita Yukino's hands, then patted the girl on the shoulder and said:
"Work hard, and I'll take you to Akihabara for dinner in the evening.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the cleaning tools in her hand, then looked up and saw only a desk in front of her. There was no other furniture, and a thin layer of gray dust on the floor. It was obviously a room that had just been renovated. After being stunned for a moment, she immediately looked at Luo Shu and said:
"Can I understand this as a test for newcomers?"
Luo Shu nodded slightly, then said, "It's almost a compliance test."
"I understand." Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath and said, "Have you prepared any cleaning tools? It's impossible to clean the room with just a broom and a dustpan."
"Next door is Akihabara Shopping Street, and I should be able to find the detailed tools there."
As Luo Shu spoke, he took out a silver ring from his pocket and said to Yukinoshita Yukino:
"Before you clean up, put your hands out."
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the ring in Luo Shu's hand, then raised her head and looked at his face. She couldn't help but put her hands behind her back:
"Although I know it's most likely not a proposal, could you please tell me what the function of this ring is?"
