After thinking about today's date, Lin Yu suddenly said to Fu Hua.

"Fu Hua, tomorrow is your day off, are you free?"

"I want to buy something. If you have time, I hope you can come to the mall with me and give me some suggestions and advice."

Chapter 95. They're going on a date?

The moment Lin Yu uttered those words, Fu Hua immediately stared intently into Lin Yu's eyes.

Unsurprisingly, she didn't see a trace of lust between men and women in Lin Yu's eyes.

Well, let alone lust, Lin Yu's eyes didn't even show the slightest emotional fluctuation right now.

Both his eyes and his expression gave Fu Hua a feeling as still as water.

If Fu Hua hadn't confirmed that she hadn't misheard, she might have even suspected that she was hallucinating.

"Why me?"

After adjusting her glasses, Fu Hua asked Lin Yu.

"Aren't Kiana and the others better? You're also more familiar with them, aren't you?"

"Ha, that's one way of saying it."

At this moment, Lin Yu recalled the way his companions had looked at him recently, and calmly spoke to Fu Hua.

"They have a lot of misunderstandings about me. They look at me with those strange eyes all day long, as if they are all imagining things like 'Oh, Lin Yu is so pitiful' or 'He must be in a lot of pain.'"

"If I go out with them and they stare at me like that for ages, I can't stand it."

Listening to Lin Yu's explanation, Fu Hua didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, they are now roommates living together in Himeko's house. How does Lin Yu usually get along with the others? Fu Hua, as the prosecutor sent by Otto —well, a spy is a spy, there's no need to flatter herself.

As a spy, she naturally needed to carefully observe the changing relationships between Lin Yu and Kiana, among others.

The reasons Lin Yu gave now completely match what Fu Hua observed.

Meanwhile, right after Lin Yu finished speaking, the voice arrived as promised.

Seeing Fu Hua's "I see" look, you couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The Crimson Heron Immortal is really easy to fool."

[What you said is true. The girls looked at you with eyes full of worry and helplessness. It is precisely because of this that you feel you are deceiving your companions and no longer want to act under their gaze.]

[But at the same time, while you're asking Fu Hua out, actually—hey, this system isn't installed.]

[You've already maxed out everyone else's favorability rating, so you're going to switch to someone you're least familiar with and keep trying, right?]

[Host, you're such a shrew.]

You're so annoying.

After getting serious for a while, they suddenly reverted to their old ways—who has time to mess with them now?

Ultimately, the reason I sought out Fu Hua was because of those ridiculous reasons.

"My emotions are very stable. I still can't understand why they think I'm so miserable. Compared to those victims who died in the Honkai, I feel very fortunate to have survived."

"As for Fu Hua, I didn't see any of those strange emotions in your eyes, which is why I wanted to ask you for your advice this time—if it were them, they would probably start overthinking again."

I sought out Fu Hua not for any other reason than to further 'deepen' Lin Yu's image in her mind.

To put it bluntly, Fu Hua is Otto's 'eyes' in St. Freya, and deceiving Fu Hua is, in a sense, equivalent to deceiving Otto.

So...

Ha, I don't want to think about it anymore.

To live a more comfortable life, one should give up some insignificant moral principles.

After listening to Lin Yu finish speaking calmly, Fu Hua felt...

Kiana and the others' concerns are actually quite valid.

The way you acted when we first fought was already very strange.

And now you can say something like that so calmly...

If it were anyone else, Fu Hua might think that the person who said those words had truly come to terms with it.

The problem is that Lin Yu's previous performance was clearly like that of a reckless beast. He seemed to fight using a defensive counter-attack style, but he didn't really consider his own safety.

Fu Hua really finds these kinds of problem children a real headache.

I'm hesitant to provoke her, but I also want to soothe her... and she's not very good at talking.

There's no other way, so I'll just have to agree to it.

It's just going out once, it's not a big deal.

And now that I think about it carefully, it's not such a bad thing to act alone with Lin Yu in a safe area once.

If we spar here for too long, Kiana and the others will worry that Lin Yu is going to risk his life again and come over to kill us.

But if Lin Yu and I go out together, then we'll find a place...

Using the feather on Lin Yu will allow me to accomplish what I want to do.

Although using the feathers would cause more serious problems for my body, it shouldn't be enough to render me unable to move if I only use them once.

After using the feather, I can teach Lin Yu how to cultivate the Tai Xu Sword Qi, and inscribe the incantation and cultivation method into his subconscious using the feather.

In this situation, I can pass on the Tai Xu Sword Qi to Lin Yu without revealing my true identity.

With his talent, once he knows how to cultivate, he should be able to complete the initial cultivation of the Tai Xu Sword Qi even without my guidance.

In that case, his survival rate on the battlefield should increase somewhat.

That evening, at Himeko's house

After Lin Yu came out of the kitchen, Kiana, who was already sitting in her seat, surprisingly did not start eating excessively today.

Over the past few weeks, Lin Yu would go to the training ground to spar with Fu Hua for a while after class before returning to his dormitory.

Although Kiana thought Lin Yu probably wouldn't be interested in a bookish, unfeminine type like Fu Hua, but...

—Oh no, I still feel really uncomfortable.

The senior has been boxing every day without any time to relax, and that bookworm keeps going to box with him every day—she should at least let him take a break!

Tomorrow is a day off, so let's just invite the senior students and everyone else out together so we can all relax and have some fun.

The bookish Class President... well, I'll call her that too.

Although she usually seems a bit dull, I don't think she's a bad person.

To be honest, if she hadn't been constantly pestering my senior and preventing him from resting, I wouldn't have had any reason to dislike her.

On the other side, when Lin Yu brought the last dish he had prepared to the table, he casually took off his apron and put it aside before looking at Kiana, who had been staring at him.

"Kiana, just say what you want to say."

"Okay, sure."

After nodding obediently, Kiana smiled and said to Lin Yu.

"Senior, tomorrow is a rest day. I think everyone has been training really hard these past few days."

"How about we all go and have some fun in the Commercial Street?"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Lin Yu, who was gazing at Kiana, calmly spoke to Kiana.

"I'm not free tomorrow."

"Huh?! Senior, you're not going to the training ground again tomorrow, are you?!"

Hearing Kiana's words, the others had roughly guessed what Kiana meant.

After Lin Yu's battle with Fu Hua, the group discussed it privately and realized that Lin Yu was putting too much pressure on them.

He needs to rest, but he doesn't seem to want to, which is quite awkward.

My senior is still unavailable tomorrow, could it be that...

After sensing Yuno's gaze, Fu Hua spoke calmly.

"Don't worry, Yuno, he won't be going to the training ground tomorrow."

"I see..."

Yuno was about to say "Then I'm relieved," suddenly froze after hearing Fu Hua's next words.

"After all, Lin Yu and I have something to do tomorrow and need to go out together."

?

???

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apart from Bronya, who remained expressionless, Kiana, Mei, Yuno all paused for a moment.

Then, the three of them looked at each other and simultaneously saw a look of disbelief in each other's eyes.

Senior...

And classmate Fu Hua...

—A date tomorrow??

After turning around to look at the two, the three of them immediately noticed that Lin Yu and Fu Hua had very calm expressions on their faces.

On the bright side, this shows that the two of them are calm about the matter, indicating that they don't really have any particular thoughts about it.

But if you look at it the other way around, it's that the two of them think 'going out together isn't a big deal'—after all, they've spent the most time alone with each other in these three weeks.

They've gotten used to this way of getting along, so of course they don't think there's anything to care about in this regard!

[Interesting, very interesting... Hehehe, host, don't you think this is a good show?]

Whether it's a good show or not—just watch it obediently.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward, and Lin Yu himself wasn't stupid; how could he not sense the change in atmosphere?

The problem is that all his actions now are, frankly speaking, for the sake of survival.

The main reason for inviting Fu Hua this time, instead of anyone else, was to 'show myself' as much as possible in a one-on-one setting and further deepen my persona in Fu Hua's eyes.

At this stage, Fu Hua is Otto's eyes. If Fu Hua is completely deceived, it is equivalent to temporarily fooling Otto.

If we really have to say, inviting other people to come along isn't a bad idea, but the problem is that it's better to resolve some issues sooner rather than later.

As for the problems of the other people—it would be a miracle if he had the ability to solve them.

As for Kiana, he dares not say anything carelessly now. Even if he makes some hints, if Otto finds out, that old bastard will take action directly just in case.

There was nothing he could do about Yuno. He could only temporarily guide Yuno onto a certain path. As for Yuno's current mental issues—he wasn't a professional psychologist, and this was the limit he could go on.

Bronya is fine for now, Mei's Herrscher Persona doesn't need to be worried about for the time being.

All things considered, Lin Yu can't solve the bigger problem right now, so he can only deal with the problems that have arisen from Fu Hua's situation.

But...

Hey sir, give me a heads-up, this won't blow up, will it?

[Oh, dear host of this system, there's something you need to understand.]

What's up?

[You're handsome, charming, and in other people's eyes, you're the kind of good man who's not proactive, doesn't refuse others, is responsible, and has a tragic past.]

[Given these circumstances, even if these little girls panic, they won't think it's your fault; they'll only think a vixen kidnapped Lin Yu —rest assured, your persona is very well established.]

That's a truly embarrassing comment.

[It won't explode for now, so you can operate with peace of mind—if you really die, the system will just find the next unlucky one.]
