"Hehe, Lin Shuang specifically asked me to take some photos for her, and I'm shooting outdoor shots for Lin Shuang right now!"

"Lin Shuang?"

Welt looked at 'Gepard', who clearly resembled the Herrscher of Thunder, with a head full of question marks.

You call her Lin Shuang?

"Yeah, yeah, Lin Shuang is such a good dress-up artist! She looks almost exactly like that Miss Acheron."

"..."

Welt looked down, just as Lin Shuang turned around and nodded to Welt:

"It's me. Sorry to bother you."

With that, Lin Shuang deactivated her transformation, returning to her original appearance.

Of course, his clothes hadn't changed; he was still dressed as the Herrscher of Thunder.

"... It's alright, you're welcome to visit the Train."

Welt found it hard to accept that Kiana, dressed as the Herrscher of Thunder, was standing in front of him and greeting him.

Coming up like this so late at night is really a bit nerve-wracking.

He wanted to go back to his room to be alone.

Chapter 325 Lin Shuang: Himeko's coffee, let's all drink it together.

Lin Shuang didn't know how many photos she took on March 7th.

Anyway, after Welt told the two to be quiet, they probably filmed at least two more System Hour shots on March 7th.

"Hmm... we took so many photos, we need to pick the best one to hang on the Photos wall."

At this moment, March 7th is in front of his computer in his room, reviewing the results of today's shooting.

Lin Shuang, sitting on the bed beside her, was holding a cup of instant coffee.

Lin Shuang had now returned to her original appearance.

Holding her cup, she asked with some curiosity:

"By the way, you're drinking instant coffee on the Train. Won't Aunt Himeko be upset if she finds out?"

"Uh... what are you saying! How could Himeko be upset over such a small thing? Besides, I can't just bother Himeko every time I want coffee."

March 7th glared at Lin Shuang with righteous indignation.

He very seriously corrected the error in Lin Shuang's words.

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right."

Lin Shuang smiled and stared at March 7th, taking a sip of instant coffee.

Let's assume what you said is true.

"Wow--you don't believe me, do you!?"

"Who says I don't believe it?"

"Your tone just now was clearly mocking me! It's infuriating!"

March 7th glared angrily at Lin Shuang, then looked her up and down with a displeased expression, pretending to be deep in thought.

"... What kind of look is that?"

"Hmm, didn't you want to drink Himeko's coffee? I'll go ask Himeko if she's asleep yet."

"..."

Lin Shuang paused for a moment, then a look of anticipation appeared on her face.

Even March 7th was terrified by what he saw.

Rather than refusing, she was genuinely curious about what the coffee Himeko had brewed would taste like.

That could scare the other passengers on the Train like that.

She really wanted to try this strange craft unique to the world of anime and manga.

"... You... you'd better not regret this!"

As March 7th's eyes widened, a mischievous smile crept across his lips.

She had already messaged Himeko on her phone.

Even if it doesn't work out tonight, I'll definitely be able to prepare it for Lin Shuang tomorrow morning.

The last one who didn't believe in superstitions was Xing.

As for what happened later... let's not talk about it.

"Hmm~"

Lin Shuang gave March 7th a provocative look.

The last shred of 'compassion' on March 7th was completely extinguished, leaving only pitch-black desire.

Just then, Himeko's message arrived.

He seemed pleased with Lin Shuang's request for coffee.

Not long after.

There was a knock on the door of the room on March 7th.

Himeko, with her long, bright red hair, stood at the doorway in an elegant evening gown.

"Little March, you've come at the right time. I'm about to rest in a little while."

Himeko smiled and nodded at Lin Shuang, then greeted March 7th.

But she sniffed the room and noticed the instant coffee in Lin Shuang's hand.

"This is... instant coffee?"

March 7th stood up awkwardly and quickly explained:

"Aha... yes, it's so late after all. Lin Shuang wanted coffee, and I was planning to just use instant coffee, but she doesn't like it, so I had to bother you, Himeko."

"Really? Then you can wait outside for a bit. The coffee will be ready soon."

Himeko smiled gently at the two girls in the room, then turned and walked towards the carriage where the coffee machine was located.

March 7th waved goodbye as he watched Himeko leave, then suddenly came to his senses.

"Wait a minute... did Himeko just say the word 'you guys'?"

She stared solemnly at Lin Shuang, trying to get a hopeful answer from her.

Lin Shuang couldn't help but laugh:

"Yes, I said 'you guys,' so you're probably included too."

"Why?!"

March 7th felt like she'd been struck by lightning; she couldn't understand why she was being targeted.

Lin Shuang smiled and grabbed March 7th's arm.

"We're friends, of course we should enjoy it together!"

With that, Lin Shuang pulled March 7th outside.

March 7th did want to resist, but clearly she had no chance against Lin Shuang.

"Wait, wait, wait—you're the one who wants to drink, don't drag me into it! Let me go wash up, I need to take a shower! Don't pull me, don't hug me!"

"Hehe~ It's not too late to wash up after you finish drinking."

"Who said it's not too late! How dare you laugh out loud! Lin Shuang, you're such a vengeful person!"

March 7th struggled in vain, calling out, while Lin Shuang listened, completely bewildered.

"Where did you learn this idiom? You're using it wrong..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

March 7th blinked and scratched her head sheepishly.

"You mean to say that kindness is repaid with enmity, right...?"

Lin Shuang was a little speechless, but taking advantage of the reduced resistance on March 7th, she led her people into the hall in a few steps.

By the time March 7th realized what was happening, Lin Shuang had already pinned him to the table.

"..."

March 7th puffed out her cheeks and glared at Lin Shuang. That guy!

He's definitely not a good person!

Not long after.

Himeko then came out carrying a coffee pot.

Seeing that March 7th was also there, Himeko's smile widened.

He enthusiastically took out three cups and poured a steaming cup of coffee for everyone present.

"Add sugar and milk to your liking, although I recommend black coffee."

Aunt Himeko pushed a small bottle of milk and some sugar cubes towards Lin Shuang and March 7th.

Lin Shuang generously added milk and sugar cubes.

Unfortunately, although she liked the aroma of coffee, she didn't like the bitterness of black coffee.

Himeko watched as Lin Shuang added a lethal amount of sugar and milk, and her eyelids twitched twice.

Does this child... really like drinking coffee?

As for the way March 7th was dawdling beside her, Himeko didn't pay much attention to it.

"I enjoy blending different flavors of coffee beans to make coffee. This cup of coffee is a unique blend made by mixing coffee varieties from seven different Star System."

Himeko seemed quite enthusiastic when talking about coffee.

Lin Shuang picked up her cup and took a sniff of the aroma.

The aroma itself is quite nice, although there's a slightly subtle, mixed flavor in it.

But after all, this is a blend of coffees from seven different planets.

We can't simply apply past impressions to it.

March 7th, standing to the side, had already begun to stare at Lin Shuang with the eyes of a 'warrior'.

Seeing Lin Shuang lower her head to drink, he covered his mouth with his hand.

Lin Shuang found March 7th's reaction somewhat amusing.

After blowing a few puffs of hot air on his face, he took a small sip.

"Mmm... uh..."

As far as coffee is concerned, it has a flavor that transcends the taste of coffee, spreading in the mouth with a layered rhythm.

It certainly has a very peculiar flavor...

To be honest, Lin Shuang felt that this was completely different from the coffee she remembered.

However, surprisingly, it's still acceptable?

Lin Shuang stroked her chin and took another sip.

Although the taste was complicated and strange, it wasn't too bad after adding milk and sugar.

"Not bad."

"What?!"
