A Conversation

After hearing what Himeko had said, Kiana gave it some thought as well.

Going by Fu Hua's usual behavior, she really did seem like the type to get up early to train.

"Then, what about Uncle Xu?"

Kiana asked curiously, "Isn't Uncle Xu coming with us?"

"Xu Yanwu? No idea where he ran off to."

Himeko shook her head. "There wasn't anyone in Xu Yanwu's room either. We knocked on the door for so long, but there was no response at all."

Himeko continued, "Maybe Xu Yanwu has already run off somewhere to watch the excitement."

Himeko added, "Honestly, he has no idea how important this exchange program in Shenzhou is."

"Um..."

Uncle Xu probably hadn't gone off to watch the excitement, right?

She had the feeling... Uncle Xu seemed to be doing something important right now.

"Teacher Himeko, Uncle Xu probably hasn't gone off to do anything bad. Although he usually seems a little... unreliable, Uncle Xu is still very dependable when it matters."

Mei tried to persuade Himeko.

"Mm, Uncle Xu doesn't usually get up early to watch the excitement either."

Bronya spoke up as well, using statistical evidence to defend Xu Yanwu.

"When Uncle Xu was at St. Freya, there was a forty percent chance that he would get up in the morning and go to the market to buy fresh vegetables. There was another forty percent chance that he would run off somewhere unknown and return with fresh pork, and a twenty percent chance that he would buy beef... So everyone's diet was usually very balanced..."

Bronya said this matter-of-factly.

"Huh? Wasn't the meat Uncle Xu gave us bought from the supermarket in the shopping district?"

This time, Mei was stunned.

"Mm????"

Himeko was
