A Senior Sister's Dignity and an Eldest Sister Like a Mother

"No, it seems a bit heavier."

"The toy gun is a disguise; the magazine capacity is five rounds, and the bullet type is... marbles."

"Ha?"

"Strictly speaking, they are polished steel balls. Do you think bullets are so easy to manufacture? But polished steel balls are not expensive; you can even have them custom-made."

Mei explained with a blank expression.

"In addition, in terms of functionality, this gun can electromagnetically accelerate bullets—of course, it also needs to be charged, and one charge can support fifteen accelerations."

"Although electromagnetic acceleration sounds high-tech... it's too outdated to only be able to shoot steel balls, isn't it?"

"It's simply a matter of adapting to local conditions."

"Then, why are all our weapons powered by electricity?" Kevin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course, it's because the cheapest, most convenient, largest, and most lethal form of energy that you can access is electricity."

"... It seems so."

Kevin nodded. Although the charging technology was far from the amazing weapon he had imagined, it wasn't unacceptable.

"But... the electricity bill won't be too expensive, will it?"

After all, such a powerful device must consume a lot of power when charging, right?

... Are you focusing on something wrong?

"Doctor, your task for the next three days is to get used to the feel of the weapon. I have a bag of steel balls here... Remember not to point this gun at anyone."

"Yes, I understand."

Sue nodded and took the bag of steel balls.

The feeling of having a weapon in his hand—or being able to take someone's life at any time—increased his stress.

"So our training method is... is it some kind of hunting competition?"

"If you see medium to large wild animals on this mountain, they must be protected animals."

Mei said expressionlessly.

"The doctor and I will design training programs for you, so you don't need to worry about that."

Mei pushed up her glasses.

I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to meet the professor again...

No, forget it. With these two idiots around, I can't find that atmosphere that's described online at all.

"... Kevin, isn't the way Senior Sister is looking at us a little strange?"

Sura whispered to Kevin.

"It's that kind of... um..."

"The kind of thing that wants to bury us both... right?"

Kevin shrank back and chimed in, "I felt it too. Have we done anything to offend our senior sister?"

"No, I don't think so..."

Su's intelligence kicked in for a moment, and he used his independent brain to recall what had happened before.

"No at all. We were clearly playing our own games before. The teacher and senior sister went fishing. Maybe the teacher made the senior sister angry? — For example, something like being a 'blame-holder'."

"That makes sense, so we were the ones being blamed?" Kevin nodded in strong agreement.

"Well, that's possible... Haha~~ I never knew my senior sister was a fisherman."

Mei: "..."

Those two idiots... Ah, they should just put some splinters in the training traps.

Inside the tent.

"Doctor, are those two guys really okay? In every sense of the word."

"No problem... probably."

Liu Bai's tone was also somewhat cryptic, "Don't let their current state fool you. If you separate them, their individual minds will come online."

It's so common for childhood friends to share a head.

"Although they can't catch up with Mei, both of them are smart and did well on their exams. Gradually, I don't need to worry about them too much anymore."

"That..."

Mei was listening to Liu Bai's slightly sentimental words and was about to say something when a scream suddenly came from outside.

"Ah! My snacks!"

A single sentence interrupted Mei.

"..."

Mei's face darkened.

It's okay, it's okay... it's not a big problem...

Mei took a deep breath:

"Um... Doctor, if you don't mind, I will..."

"Kevin, are you a dog?! Stop staring at my snacks! You have your own!"

Interrupted again.

Do you two really have to argue by yelling and shouting?!

It's okay... it's okay... I should learn to tolerate idiots.

Mei pushed up her glasses.

"That..."

"Su! Take this Friendship Breaking Face Punch—!"

The noise from outside interrupted Mei for the third time.

This is the third time... This is the third time...

I've only uttered one word this time!

"... Excuse me, Doctor, I'm going out to check on my junior colleagues."

Mei picked up a small gadget from the side without expression, adjusted her glasses, and then walked out of the tent.

Just then, they saw two people rolling out of another tent.

"Senior Sister?"

Upon seeing Mei, the two immediately stopped.

After all, it would be quite embarrassing for others to see the two of them like this.

"W-Is there anything I can help you with?"

And their instincts told them that things were getting a little bad.

Kevin, in particular, as a purebred husky, deeply sensed the crisis.

Speaking of which, if Kevin is like a Siberian Husky, then Sue would be like a Border Collie...

"It's nothing."

Mei smiled warmly, "I just remembered that as your senior, I forgot to give you two a gift."

"... Something's not right!"

Sue pulled Kevin aside and whispered something to him.

"Kevin! That smile on Senior Sister's face looks really suspicious, doesn't it?"

"Yes! Just like a psychopathic killer who lures children with a smile!"

Mei: "..."

Can't you two talk in a little quieter?

"So, Kevin, are you going or not?"

"No matter what, she's still our senior sister... she shouldn't really be like a psychopath who killed us, right?"

Kevin is now clearly using his brain too.

"Okay, Su, you go and get your senior sister's gift first, don't worry about me."

Why the hell aren't you going?

"No, no, no, Kevin, you're the senior, there's a difference in seniority, you go first."

It's a ghost! Anyone would know that if your usually expressionless self suddenly shows this kind of smile, there's definitely something fishy going on!

Don't even think about sending me to my death!

You bastard!

The two cursed each other silently in their hearts.

"Have you finished discussing, fellow disciples?"

Mei appeared silently behind the two without any expression.

No, it shouldn't be described as expressionless; his face was extremely cold and indifferent.

Even though their opponent was just a woman whose physical abilities were far inferior to theirs, Kevin and Sue felt a sense of oppression from the food chain.

"That smiling face of mine is definitely fake..."

"I suddenly remembered that it was going to rain, and I hadn't brought the clothes in from my balcony yet, so I went home first."

Su turned around and tried to run away.

"What the hell is this raining—it's been sunny all week! Besides, your house is several hours' drive away, why the hell are you going back!"

Kevin immediately grabbed Sue.

"Don't even think about running! We'll die together!"

"Kevin! Are you crazy?! You can run too, don't you have legs?!" Su turned around and angrily berated her husky teammate.

"Ah, this..."

Sizzle...

Just as Kevin realized what was happening and was about to let go, a sudden wave of numbness knocked Kevin down.

... And Sue, who was being pulled along by Kevin.

Mei casually put away her Stun Gun, as if nothing had happened.

"... You two are truly complete idiots,"

Mei looked at the two people lying on the ground and couldn't help but facepalm.

"Master, Master..."

Kevin's tongue was numb.

"Don't worry, it's a safe current—at least relative to lethal levels—and I have no intention of burying you."

Mei pushed up her glasses.

The two who fell looked confused.

"I just want my juniors to understand that making a lot of noise all day long is immoral. It doesn't matter if it affects me, but don't let it affect the doctoral students."

Kevin and Sue nodded, their hands trembling.
