Compendium of Anime: My Five Senses Linked with the Proud Daughters of Ten Thousand Worlds Chapter 13

Jiang Lianqiu's murmur didn't escape Utaha Kasumigaoka's ears, and she widened her eyes in surprise.

He knows who his editor is?

Is he investigating me behind my back?

It's strange, I should be angry if someone investigated my background privately, but Utaha Kasumigaoka didn't feel that way. She even subtly curved her lips without realizing it.

"I haven't finished reading the manuscript yet. Can I take it home to look at it again?"

No matter what, this manuscript had major issues, and Jiang Lianqiu wouldn't let it stay out. He casually found an excuse to take it away.

"I don't mind. I finished reading it overnight anyway," Shizuka Hiratsuka said, shrugging and sizing up Jiang Lianqiu meaningfully.

Tsk tsk, just as expected of a rich young master, he's not hesitating to play with two girls at once.

Can't you see his childhood friend next to him is pouting so much her mouth looks like an anteater's?

"I don't mind either. Rather, I'm really looking forward to you, junior, piercing my maiden heart when I'm caught off guard, throwing me into disarray!"

"Can't you just shut your mouth if you don't talk like that!"

"Scummy girl! Gloomy girl! Seductive girl! Black silk demon!"

Eriri spat out four labels at Utaha Kasumigaoka in one breath, her molars grinding.

So classic, too classic!

Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but slap her forehead. Even though she was an old maid who couldn't get married, she knew Eriri would definitely lose if she continued like this.

It wasn't for any other reason; in her years as a teacher, she had seen plenty of unlucky students like Eriri, who had huge advantages but ended up losing miserably and crying their eyes out.

As his childhood friend of over ten years, Jiang Lianqiu took care of Eriri's emotions, stroking her head, and whispered, "It's getting late, we should go home. Belfast is already here to pick us up."

In fact, Jiang Lianqiu had already received a notification from Belfast, knowing that she was currently hidden and standing in the corridor outside the office.

After confirming Jiang Lianqiu was fine, she did not reveal herself, only keeping watch around the area.

Hearing Jiang Lianqiu's words, even though she couldn't see him, Belfast silently curtsied with her skirt lifted towards his back and vanished, reappearing at the school gate.

At the same time, a man in a suit, who looked exactly like a human but was essentially a starport combat mecha servant, drove his car and stopped precisely at the school gate.

"Commander's orders."

Belfast, without any of the gentleness she showed Jiang Lianqiu, sternly said to the mecha servant:

"Monitor Machida Sonoko, Utaha Kasumigaoka, and Shizuka Hiratsuka. Monitor all information related to 'Love Beat' across the entire network and pay attention to any abnormal signals."

When facing the starport mecha servant, Belfast still habitually referred to Jiang Lianqiu as Commander.

The man, who looked like a suited thug, snapped his heels together, stood at attention, gave Belfast a military salute, and then turned and left without hesitation.

That night.

Inside the villa, in the study.

Jiang Lianqiu sat behind his desk, with several holographic projection screens on the desk in front of him.

Belfast walked over gracefully in her high heels and softly placed the freshly brewed black tea to the side of Jiang Lianqiu's dominant hand, keeping it within his easy reach.

"Master, I have successfully used the controlling shareholder's name to order the president of Fushikawa Library to halt the publication of all subsequent light novels."

"Regarding the monitoring of the Earth's internet, no abnormalities related to 'Love Beat' have been found yet. All related discussions are normal content about the plot of the first volume, as well as speculation about the subsequent plot. Due to the poor sales of the first volume, there are actually very few people discussing it."

Jiang Lianqiu tapped his fingertips rhythmically on the desk, his gaze sweeping across a central screen displaying the constantly flashing starport reports: "However, the hyperspace probe arranged by the central starport in the solar system has discovered a problem..."
