Extra 5: Xiao Ling's Study Material Crisis
It was an ordinary weekend afternoon in Xiao Ling's room at the villa.
Miss Honey Peach openly lazed around in her boyfriend's room, sitting in her gaming chair watching anime on her computer, crunching away at tomato-flavored potato chips.
You ask where the owner of this house is? Some unknown friend surnamed Ye called him out early this morning, and he probably won't be back anytime soon.
"Hmm... I've finished watching this anime too."
After finishing another anime, Dania leaned back against the chair, looking completely bored.
The entertainment options in the modern world far surpass those at the Star Torch Academy, and her favorites are playing video games and watching anime series.
However, neither of these forms of entertainment is without its drawbacks. You can get tired of playing games, and you'll eventually finish watching all the good anime series. So, right now, Yaya can only be described as extremely bored.
"Whatever, I've got nothing better to do anyway..."
Dania started using the mouse again, checking Xiao Ling's computer for anything strange.
She had seen it in short videos before; most boys have a special folder on their computers containing carefully selected study materials, which they review every now and then.
There's no time like the present, so today she's going to thoroughly check if her boyfriend is hiding any secrets.
Click-clack, Dania clicked the mouse repeatedly, browsing through numerous folders on Xiao Ling's computer. Finally, her eyes lit up—
A folder named "♥".
"Oh~?" Dania murmured with interest, then double-clicked the file.
Please enter your password.
The sudden appearance of the decryption step startled Dania for a moment.
"What's Ling up to? Being so secretive..."
As the saying goes, something unusual is bound to happen. Since he locked this folder, it must contain some little secrets he doesn't want these girls to know, such as... study materials.
However, on the other hand, this kind of puzzle-solving isn't her strong suit; she prefers to reap the rewards without sowing.
However, she felt that a certain pink-haired savior heiress might be very eager to try.
"You mean you found an encrypted folder on A-Yu's computer?"
"Yes." Dania pointed to the encrypted folder on the computer. "See for yourself."
"Let me see..." Aemeath took the mouse and started operating it. After trying a few passwords, error warnings popped up one after another.
"That's strange, why doesn't A-Yu use her own information as a password?"
"He definitely wants what you want too," Dania said helplessly, spreading her hands. "Is it possible to break through with brute force?"
"You can't wait?"
Aren't you curious about what he hid in this folder?
"... Okay, you've convinced me." Aemeath tapped her head. "Now, it's time for Little Ai to show off her skills!"
She felt that it was just a simple electronic password, something she could easily figure out herself in no time.
Full of confidence, Aemeath began to unleash her data hacking abilities and work with all her might to crack the password.
After some time...
"Ugh..." Little Ai collapsed onto the bed, looking completely exhausted.
"Even you can't do it?" Dania looked troubled.
"I'm being held back..." Aemeath exhaled puffs of black smoke, "Can anyone tell me why the first hurdle in Data Hacking is Gundam...?"
Dania: Wow, Xiao Ling, you even anticipated that I would ask Little Ai to hack into your system. This is clearly...
Having no other choice, Yaya, in desperation, tried entering her own birthday into the system.
0521.
"It's unlocked." She said excitedly, looking at the folder that had been unlocked.
"Really?!" Aemeath was instantly revitalized, staring in shock at the encrypted folder that Dania had opened. "Xiao Ya, how did you do that?"
"I entered my birthday," Dania said with a smile, pursing her lips.
"Ugh, damn it!" Aemeath said angrily, "A-Yu, you just wait."
"Let's leave the accounting for later. Right now, we should thoroughly examine what shady things are hidden in his encrypted folder."
"I agree! Let's get started, Yaya, I can't wait!"
"Shall I begin?"
So, under Aemeath's expectant gaze, Dania opened the folder containing her information.
"..."
"..."
Dania and Aemeath sat side by side, their faces flushed, seemingly unsure of what to do.
"So... why do he see me this way?" Dania asked through gritted teeth, sounding like she was angry because of extreme embarrassment.
She, Dania, is supposed to be a Threnodian Resonator, right?! Why are eight out of ten of her pictures of her depicting a gold miner?!
"Poor Xiao Yu, could it be that he's been relying on these things while we're not around..." Aemeath, being the good girl she is, is more concerned about Xiao Ling's physical and mental health at times like this.
"You're actually feeling lucky?" Dania's face darkened.
"At least now I'm tangible and visible to A-Yu!" Aemeath said with a grin. "That way he won't feel lonely, and he won't have to do anything inappropriate to my picture."
Little Ai) doesn't seem to have any objections, but Honey Peach has quite a lot to say about it.
"Fine, I've made up my mind!" Dania slammed her hand on the table, startling Aemeath was standing next to her.
"Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you...? Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
"I'm going to send this folder of despair to everyone who's involved!"
(This must have been a truly desperate situation for one of the pilots.)
"Playing this high?" Aemeath exclaimed, intrigued. "Count me in! Count me in!"
To be honest, if this incident can unite everyone in this family, then conquering the Great Demon King Xiao will be just around the corner!
So, without further ado, Dania and Aemeath immediately started saving and forwarding the post, determined to make Xiao Ling's peculiar hobby known to the world today.
"This store has a very nice ambiance."
In the coffee shop, Crimson Snow gently held the spoon with her fingertips, occasionally letting a snowflake or two fall into the hot coffee, which she then stirred in with the spoon.
"Right? I spent ages scouting this perfect spot," Roccia with a confident smile. "I checked everything—the neighborhood, the scenery, the comfort, and even the food the vendors served."
Even amidst the hustle and bustle of the real world, this urban beauty maintains her long-standing hobbies, such as an undisturbed afternoon tea time.
"However, I must give you a little reminder, Miss Xin, if you keep adding milk and sugar cubes, you won't be able to taste the coffee itself at all, okay?"
"Oh, really?" Xin silently withdrew her thought of adding another sugar cube. "But personally, I think a sweeter drink might suit me better for afternoon tea?"
You ask why the Sentinel Dreamland would be having afternoon tea with these two girls who have absolutely no connection to him? The specific reason is naturally hard to explain; perhaps it was just the fox fairy's interest.
"I'd heard that the Sentinel Dreamland had a particular fondness for sweets, and seeing it now confirms that anecdote." Crimson Snow took a small sip of her coffee, which she had been stirring for a while. "Hmm, it's alright, not too bitter, and not too sweet either."
Beep beep, beep beep.
"Hmm? Someone sent a message?" Roccia unlocked her phone and opened the group chat. "This is... a document? Let me see..."
She leisurely took a sip of her coffee, then curiously opened the file in the group chat, and then...
Puff!
Crimson Snow reacted quickly, freezing the coffee that Roccia had sprayed out, thus preventing Xin from getting a stubborn coffee stain on her clothes.
"Roccia, what could have caused you, the headmistress, to lose your composure like this?" Crimson Snow asked in a calm tone.
"Damn it! How could Xiao Ling be such a shameless bastard behind my back?!" The principal's face turned red, and it wasn't hard to imagine what disgusting things she had seen.
"Huh? What's going on?" Xin Sentinel was completely clueless.
"Look at the group chat."
Reminded by Roccia, Crimson Snow and Xin immediately took out their phones and opened the group chat, only to find that the group had already exploded with activity.
Iuno: Blank, who would have thought... actually has a bit of a repressed, brooding side.
Augusta: Laureate is at least a healthy male, so it's understandable that he has these kinds of needs... I guess.
Gabriela:... I didn't expect to be on the list too.
Lynae: These clothes... are so daring! I would never dare to dress like this normally!
Chisa: I genuinely thought this was my senior's study material...
Morning: +1
Cartethyia: [You've been tricked. jpg]
Cartethyia: By the way, Little Dania, where did you get all this stuff?
Dania: He found it on his computer.
Dania: Judging from the storage time, the earliest time this folder was created can be traced back to two years ago.
Suisui: No wonder there are so many pictures, it seems Brother Ling is really persistent in this...
Yangyang: [blushing. jpg]
Rover: This guy... he does seem a bit repressed.
(Here's Hajipiao's original words.)
Sigrika: If my parents saw me wearing clothes like this, I'd definitely get a severe scolding...
Carlotta: Isn't that obvious? Such inappropriate clothes are definitely not suitable for public occasions. However, if you're only wearing it for Cat's Eye to see, I can barely accept it...
Cantarella: It seems Miss Carlotta has a pretty high level of awareness?
Carlotta: Stop nagging!
Carlotta: [Breathing emoji]
Qingxiao: Hmm... So, my disciple likes this style...?
Qingxiao: [Thinking. jpg]
"Master, you're in big trouble now~" The fox secretly gloated in its heart about what its master was about to face.
"But... the driver actually likes this kind of image of me? Oh well, it can be used as material for reference..."
night.
"Phew, I'm exhausted after a long day out..."
Having spent the day playing outside, Hajiling was completely unaware that her peculiar hobby had been thoroughly exposed by her girls, and was happily preparing to go home and snuggle into their arms.
"Hmm... let's see what they've been doing while I was away..."
Xiao Ling inexplicably pulled out his phone and opened the group chat, and what he saw there made his jaw drop.
"Who... who put my treasured collection in the group chat?"
Seeing that her study materials were completely exposed to her daughters, Xiao Ling suddenly lost the courage to push open her front door.
He thought that, if he was right, he was probably doomed tonight.
No way! Why should he be afraid? He's indestructible now; shouldn't they be the ones afraid?!
Hey! Tonight, you're the real challengers.
(So spirited, Hajiling!)
After adjusting her mindset, Xiao Ling calmly pushed open the villa door.
"I'm so hungry... where did you get this from...?"
Looking at the beautifully dressed women before her, Hajiling felt somewhat like she had stumbled into a spider's web.
"Hey, Ling, why aren't you saying anything?" Dania spun around defiantly, displaying her beauty. "Isn't this the scene you've been dreaming of?"
"Hmph, you should be secretly happy, Blank." Iuno maintained her arrogant nature. "To actually get this Imperial Concubine dressed like this to entertain you."
"My lord, have I pleased you tonight?" Heartfox was incredibly direct, taking Xiao Ling's hand and giving him a face-cupping kiss, every smile and gesture exuding natural charm.
Gulp
Xiao Ling was about to explode; the overly erotic scene before him would have caused any young boy to have a nosebleed.
But now his concern isn't whether he can control himself, but whether he can handle it.
"I said, aren't you going to eat?" Xiao Ling tried to change the subject.
"We didn't do it!" the girls said in unison.
Xiao Ling: What do you mean?
Alright, I guess I'm pretty much going to have to fight this day.
Since that's the case, then let's fight until the heavens and earth darken!
