Chapter 127

Oh, different worlds? Never mind then.

"That's settled then. I'll contact you again if anything comes up."

After noticing the addition of Shirou's name, Lin Yuxia stood up and prepared to leave.

"Be careful on the road."

Both Shirou and Ansuo felt it was quite good that they were able to see off this unexpected visitor.

They just hope that such accidents happen as infrequently as possible.

Especially someone like Lin Yuxia, whose status seems quite different, can be judged from her behavior and clothing to be no ordinary person.

This place is already chaotic enough! Penguin Logistics people set up a relief station, with the Knights of the Round Table helping out behind them! There's also someone who seems to be somewhat well-known in the underworld working here!

Let's not even talk about that guy who's known as the underground leader of the Lungmen. Those who know him well know he's just a guy with a rather fierce face.

There probably isn't a more chaotic place in the entire Lungmen than this.

"You're out. Where are you going next?"

Outside the store, a woman dressed in a women's suit walked up to Lin Yuxia come out.

Even on such a hot day, with her suit soaked in sweat, she still waited for Lin Yuxia not far away.

This is her duty as a secretary and bodyguard; she has this obligation.

After Lin Yuxia came out, many of the people around dispersed.

"... Go buy some food, and while you're at it, anonymously deliver some supplies here, food or other necessities, enough for about thirty people."

Lin Yuxia looked somewhat tired after coming out, after all, she had been inside for quite a while, and she always felt a sense of pressure when facing Shirou.

Although she was confident that she could escape unscathed, she didn't know why she had a constant sense of crisis that kept reminding her not to make a move, because making a move might be dangerous.

She did initially intend to intervene, but after witnessing Shirou's actions and feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression, she ultimately abandoned the idea.

I felt a sense of relief after I came out.

When asked by her secretary, Lin Yuxia casually made some arrangements.

Her father, who was part of the Rat King's team, paid some attention to the situation and even sent people to take care of it.

That's all there was to it, which is normal.

Rather than simply giving, he prefers to provide a certain degree of protection and allow things to develop naturally.

She couldn't learn that. After wandering around inside for a short while, she could tell from some faint sounds that there were many children on the other side of the door.

That's why I had my secretary buy some daily necessities as an anonymous donation.

As for whether the other party accepts it or not... If they accept it, that would be good, and if they don't, it means they are fully capable, which is also a good thing.

We can then transfer the items to where he needs them, so there won't be any waste.

"Clear."

The secretary, having received Lin Yuxia's instructions, nodded and made a note of the matter.

"By the way, I asked you to increase your monitoring of infected individuals who don't have stable jobs and live alone this morning. Have you seen any suspicious individuals?"

Not yet.

"Yes, keep it up. As for this side... let's keep an eye on it."

Lin Yuxia felt it was normal that there was no new progress. She thought that since the progress had been kept so well hidden, she might have become suspicious if there were any sudden updates.

Before getting into the car, Lin Yuxia glanced at the location of the store.

Don't worry about her safety, her father will handle it.

As for the supplies, as long as there are no problems, they should be delivered tonight.

She was just a little curious, curious about why this person would go to such lengths.

That's all.

And I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I keep seeing something purple stuck to the window...

"OK."

After carefully writing down the instructions given by her superior, the secretary opened the car door and let Lin Yuxia get in.

Before getting into the car, Lin Yuxia took out the photos she had just used to blackmail Shirou, and used Originium Arts to manipulate the sand, turning them directly into dust, the kind that couldn't be recovered.

This is enough to ask a few questions; she didn't intend to reuse the photos.

"The person is gone."

Inside the store, Ansuo pressed his face against the window and watched as the pink-haired Zalara got into the car and drove away.

She seemed to have threatened Shirou with something, and they even talked for a bit, but unfortunately I didn't hear it.

However, the thing she used to threaten Shirou... she just accidentally grabbed it, and it's currently in her pocket.

"They're gone, so why do they look like they're facing a formidable enemy?"

Seeing that Ansuo's face was almost pressed against the window, Shirou remarked.

Thankfully, there was no one outside, otherwise seeing a huge face stuck there would probably scare a lot of people.

"They might be coming for you. You're the person behind Fuyuki Store. As the store manager, isn't it only natural that I think highly of you?"

Watching the car drive away, Ansuo jumped out of the window and grabbed a rag to wipe the face marks off.

He then said a bunch of things that Shirou didn't quite understand.

"Miss Lin is here to ask about some things. You know I work at Penguin Logistics, right? You probably got the news that I was here from somewhere and came directly here."

Shirou made up an excuse to brush it off.

He wasn't lying; Lin Yuxia had come to ask about his work.

There will only be a slight discrepancy in the overall message.

"Hmph, you've already called Miss Lin so soon?"

Upon hearing Shirou's address, Ansuo let out a humming sound.

"It's just a form of address, nothing strange about it."

"Too."

"Alright, stop fooling around. Go take a nap. I didn't ride my bike today, so I have to leave early. Also, I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't be coming."

"Okay, okay, stop reading!"

Faced with Shirou's motherly concern, Ansuo didn't go upstairs. Instead, she took the recliner from behind, spread it out behind the cashier, and lay down on it.

I have to say A-Xing made a great choice; as soon as I lay down, I felt a strong sense of sleepiness wash over me.

"Really..."

Seeing Ansuo taking a nap right there, Shirou didn't seem to mind too much, but couldn't he at least try to look a little more presentable while sleeping?

He draped the coat over Ansuo Shirou sat down next to her, blocking most of her view unless you specifically went around to look.

There's no one in the shop right now, and nothing else is happening. Shirou is serving as a cover and can't be moved around freely.

Now, only his mobile phone can keep him company through this time.

The more Shirou understood electronic products, the more he realized the benefits of mobile phones.

However, his strong self-control still prevented him from becoming like Exusiai or Croissant, who would take out their phones all the time.

Although Shirou always complains about how unreliable the two are, they are quite serious when they go on missions.

His usual unreliable behavior is probably just a way for him to relieve stress, right?

Or is it simply following Penguin Logistics' employee handbook?

The topic has gone a bit off track.

After briefly glancing at the messages on his phone, Shirou started checking out the news section of Lungmen.

"I don't even know if they made it up..."

Shirou mainly wanted to see how the bombing incident would be defined.

I just hope it's not a gas explosion; it seems like gas explosions are becoming his PTSD.

The weather in Lungmen has been scorching lately; the latest research in Columbia; recent developments in Ursus; a mysterious red figure; and the concert tickets for Siren Records have all been sold out...

"Empty news? I'll save it and wait and see. It seems I haven't seen any related news."

After scrolling through the pages, Shirou didn't see any news about yesterday, but there were quite a few interesting tidbits.

After switching to keyword search, Shirou found it quickly.

"... No wonder I couldn't find it. It wasn't themed around the bombing, but around the rescuers?"

Looking at the entire list of search results, which were mostly about him, Shirou felt... a little embarrassed.

The report exaggerated a lot of things; in his memory there were only a few dozen people, but the report claimed there were hundreds.

Some people are even analyzing what kind of person is under that coat.

The most popular choice is Lupo, who has a muscular physique.

The reason is that the other party can lift a 200-pound person with one hand and can accurately locate the position of each victim.

So he's definitely a muscular Lupo!

This left Shirou bewildered.

Although some netizens offered helpful analysis of the reasons, Shirou still looked completely bewildered.

The Lungmen people... seem to really like Lupo? Shirou remembers he even has a Lupo headset.

At that moment, Shirou just felt that these people were really strange, and then he simply turned off the news.

Let's order some Caprini dishes and see what we should make for dinner tonight and tomorrow.

Please allow him to redefine the ordinary people of Lungmen.

The people at Penguin Logistics are just ordinary people from Lungmen!

Texas 133 is tied for first place with Air Force.

At noon, next to the stage in a building in Lungmen City.

"Hmm... it seems there shouldn't be any problems."

Wearing clothes that were a little different from usual, Sora walked around Shirou twice, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no problem.

Although she had already confirmed it verbally with several people, she was still a little uneasy until she saw it with her own eyes.

Who knows if your teammate might be bribed with a delicious meal?

With Texas around, it shouldn't be a problem, but Shirou's skill in winning people over is undeniable.

Their dinner last night was so lavish that even someone as self-disciplined as Kong was moved to tears.

"Tsk tsk, Sora, you really don't trust us?"

Exusiai, standing to the side, held the Apple Pie she had made, watching Sora circle around Shirou again and again, almost as if she wanted to rip off his clothes to take a look.

"Is this all there is to our friendship? It really breaks my heart."

On the other side, Croissant looked heartbroken and sad. If she weren't still biting into a dessert, perhaps people would believe it?

"Why didn't you two go up and perform just now?..."

Looking at the two of them, Shirou's face was filled with helplessness.

With acting skills like that, why didn't you go up and join in? You should have joined in during the rehearsal.

A complete team debuted.

"Them? Forget about it. One would probably blow up the scene, and the other would probably mess with the fans. Neither of them is suitable."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Texas, standing to the side, gave him a cold look.

Both of them have good foundations, so if they really wanted to do it, it might be possible, but the main issue is their personalities... it's hard to say.

Currently, the only things that can subdue these two besides herself are the boss's financial offensive and Shirou's cunning smile.
