Chapter 15: Chapter 15 A ‘coincidental’ encounter with Kato Megumi! Tit-for-tat, jealous!
The Shiho River Ayame is indeed busy.
The Katonachi Castle, which had just entered, arrived.
The world was driven by the waves of the industrial revolution.
When the modern era changed to the modern era, an immortal monster suddenly appeared.
It is covered with a steel membrane and will not be destroyed unless its heart is destroyed.
People bitten by it seem to revive after dying once and begin to attack humans.
These monsters, later called "Kabane", proliferated explosively and covered the world.
In order to fight against the threat of Kabane, people in the Far Eastern island countries built castles called "posts" in various places.
And trapped in them.
Through various means to survive.
The only thing that can travel between the post stations is the armored steam locomotive (commonly known as the Jun Castle).
Through the integration of each other's products, life is finally guaranteed between the post stations.
Xianjin Post Station.
This is a post station that makes its living from heavy industries such as iron making and steam engines.
A long railroad track stretches out.
That is the track that passes through Juncheng.
On it is parked a pure black train that is as dark as a fortress.
People are busy around the train.
And as the daughter of the Shikagawa family, the manager of Xianjin Post Station, Shikagawa Ayame, she has the obligation to organize repairs.
Even if you see something as magical as a chat group, you need to observe it after the mission is over.
…
On the other side.
"???"
Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her head.
Kato Megumi…who is this?
Why did she ask for leave from me?
She didn't think too much about it and agreed.
...
"Xiao Hui, why are you here?"
Ling Qing, who had just arrived at the entrance of the mall, fell into deep thought as he looked at Kato Megumi, who was dressed pure and cute.
Kato Megumi looked at him calmly.
He greeted her in the same calm tone: "Ling Qing, what a coincidence."
Coincidence?
Sakurajima Mai, who was standing next to Ling Qing, pulled the corner of her mouth.
Today is clearly Wednesday.
You are standing at the entrance of the mall early in the morning instead of going to school?
Or did you just join the chat group and ask Ling Qing what to do.
This is such a coincidence.
Sakurajima Mai looked at Kato Megumi's pure and cute outfit, and she was unusually 'active', and felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart.
Kato Megumi's eyes were also focused on Sakurajima Mai.
"Ling Qing, this is Mai Sakurajima who is also in your strange chat group, right?"
"Oh?"
Ling Qing was surprised: "It's her, but… Xiaohui, can you see her?"
Xiaohui nodded: "I don't know why, I can see her."
"Maybe it's because you two appreciate each other." Ling Qing sighed.
Analyzed the situation of both of them.
"There is such a strange presence?"
Mai Sakurajima was shocked.
Looks like me.
But in fact, the two are different.
In Ling Qing's eyes, Kato Megumi is like this:
[Name]: Kato Megumi
[Level]: Level 0
[Ability]: "Mysterious Presence"
Her ability is mysterious presence.
Although it is also a passive ability, at least it is not as exaggerated as Mai Sakurajima.
As for the two people who can see each other.
Ling Qing has two guesses.
One: There is the role of the chat group.
Two: Mutual appreciation of abilities.
Either is a good thing.
"Since Xiao Hui is here by chance, why not help Mai Sakurajima? It's not appropriate for a boy like me to buy women's hearts."
Ling Qing naturally thought that Xiao Hui's "coincidence" was too coincidental.
But he did not expose it.
Because of the existence of the chat group.
She must have seen all those ridiculous deals of hers.
Ling Qing wanted to make sure whether Xiao Hui's opinion of him would change.
For his proposal.
"Okay."
Kato Megumi readily agreed.
But…
She suddenly asked Sakurajima Mai: "It's not appropriate for Sakurajima Mai to live in a boy's house. If you need, you can stay at my house temporarily."
Clearly calm and friendly words.
Sakurajima Mai felt something…tit-for-tat.
She put on a perfect smile on her face.
"I'm just staying temporarily for the care of Kato Megumi. It's okay."
"I believe Ling Qingjun will not do anything to hurt me, and this is a… deal."
"Deal…"
Kato Megumi savored the word.
She didn't say anything more.
…
With Kato Megumi here.
It was much easier to buy clothes and daily necessities for Mai Sakurajima.
Ling Qing was also relieved.
During Mai Sakurajima's fitting time.
The two waited outside the fitting room.
For the first time, Kato Megumi asked Ling Qing a question.
"Ling Qing, do you…really have superpowers?"
"Let Xiao Hui feel it."
Ling Qing smiled and touched Kato Megumi's cheek.
"!!!"
She felt the coldness in an instant.
"Really amazing."
Kato Megumi did not show any surprise.
After just one compliment, the subject suddenly changed.
"That means what was said in the chat group is true. Ling Qing, did you…do it with that Busujima Saeko?"
"…"
Hiss.
Ling Qing took a breath of cold air.
He didn't expect Kato Hui to ask so directly.
But he was only surprised for a moment.
He shrugged and replied: "It's done, just a deal."
And he couldn't help but ask jokingly.
"Is Xiaohui interested in my feelings?It's lowered a lot all of a sudden?"
"…"
Kato Megumi stared at Ling Qing's sapphire eyes for a long time before answering.
"Yeah."
She chose to be realistic.
It's not realistic that the senses didn't change at all.
"I know that's just Ling Qingjun's deal, so I don't hate Ling Qingjun because of it, but I…"
Kato Megumi wanted to say something else.
"Okay, just buy these."
Sakurajima Mai came out of the fitting room.
Ling Qing was in a good mood when he heard that Kato Megumi wouldn't hate him for this.
"Then go pay."
"Yeah."
"…"
Staring at Ling Qing's back.
Kato Megumi murmured: "But… I'm jealous of them. "
