Chapter 13: The Gathering

The population of the Star Alliance is mainly concentrated in the middle of the island, and Li Jinyi and his family live in the edge of the island, where there are few vehicles and are particularly quiet.

Walking into the half-open white lacquer carved courtyard door across the street, he inadvertently smelled the faint fragrance of wild flowers, Li Jinyi liked the smell, closed his eyes and sniffed deeply, but it was followed by the smell of food.

Hmmm!?Could they have already started eating? Alas, they should have sent a text message in advance. But it should be too late to see the situation.

Hurry to the door, stand, and knock a few times. Straighten the collar, and after a few seconds, the door opens.

The answer was Lena, with a slender chocolate chip cookie bar in her mouth.

"Ouch, isn't this the eldest prince of Li, and she let you back so soon?" she chewed on the biscuit stick, her speech a little slurred.

The origin of the nickname "Master Li" is the historical grudge that Li Jinyi teased Lena as Lord Lena at the instigation of Lu Xin.

"Hmm, let me come back? Oh, you said Yin Yuyao. Li Jinyi lowered her voice, "Because she is very busy every day and has to deal with a lot of things, since I am almost better, there is no reason to continue to stay there and make trouble for her." Rather than that, my main concern now is whether you have lunch? Can you add an extra seat?"

"Not yet, you're lucky, you just happened to have other guests here today, Lu Xin and they are preparing, come in." After Lena's words, she turned around and walked to the living room, and turned back halfway to add, "By the way, I didn't tell them about Yu Yao for the time being." ”

Li Jinyi made an OK gesture, closed the door, and planned to go to the kitchen to say hello to the two siblings first, and when he passed by the living room, he saw the guests that Lena had mentioned. Li Jinyi had seen these three girls in the campus newspaper, they were members of the Silent Arc led by Lu Yixuan, and they were all about 17 years old, about the same age as Lu Yixuan.

The girl sitting on the couch closest to the TV was named Winnie Cole, with big red round-framed eyes, a baby fat face with many freckles, a black, white and green plaid shirt, a brown knitted coat, a long linen dress, and her hair tied in two thick braids behind her back. Although it is not the first time that Winnie has been here, her demeanor and movements are still a little restrained, probably due to her introverted personality. can be introverted and introverted, and she can fight without mercy, and there are already countless enemies who have fallen under her hands. Winnie's academic performance is also very good, and the comprehensive score in the college has jumped to the top ten all year round, and she is known as the best among the new generation.

The black girl who chatted with Lena on the couch in the middle was named Sonia Salin, wearing a colorful printed T-shirt and ripped jeans, an exploding head, and a light blue headband on her forehead. Sonia is the daughter of Osmond, the Academy's magical advisor, and like the rest of the team, she has extraordinary magical talents, as well as deep attainments in the fields of engineering and electronic information.

On the tatami mat in the cubicle, a sweet-looking girl sits at the comic book in her hand with relish, her black hair tied into a side ponytail with a pale yellow silk scarf on the left side of her head, a white lace short-sleeved shirt, denim suspender shorts, and fingerless gloves printed with a crescent moon on her hands. This girl's name is Kana Haruyama, a talented girl who perfectly integrates kendo, ninjutsu and magic into battle, and is also the most noisy one in the team. As soon as he came to the captain Lu Yixuan's house just now, he ran straight to the kitchen, pointed out the country and talked non-stop about all kinds of food ingredients. Lu Xin was about to be made of a nervous breakdown, but fortunately, her sister, who was also in the kitchen, had an idea, went to the bedroom and took out a comic book, and used it to coax Kana into the cubicle, and the world was clear.

Li Jinyi didn't know the three girls well, but they knew each other well, and after a brief wave of hello, he continued to walk to the kitchen.

The kitchen was not open, the door was closed, and Li Jinyi gently opened the door, and a few wisps of cooking smoke carried the aroma of various dishes. The two of them were busy in the kitchen, and they didn't notice anyone coming in, Lu Xin was trying to dissect a large lobster, holding a knife to compare from all angles, and Xiao Xuan was carefully cleaning the vegetables by the sink, she could have used magic to quickly solve this step, but that would have lost the true meaning of cooking, and she was also happy to occasionally go to the kitchen to help her brother by herself.

"I'm busy, is there anything I can do?" asked Li Jinyi.

Hearing this voice, the busy two put down their work in surprise and looked at the kitchen door.

"Brother Jinyi, you're back, congratulations, you've become the first person in the alliance in the past hundred years to arrest the leader of the Passive Net. I don't need any help here, just ask my brother. Lu Yixuan replied with a smile.

Lu Xin rolled up his sleeves, walked up to Li Jinyi, and hammered him on the shoulder and said: "I haven't made a phone call for so many days, brother, I'm worried about your personal safety, do you know, the messages sent to you have been intercepted by the star mediators as foreign spam, and I suspect that they are using you for human experiments!"

"Ah, it's hard to say, my phone was broken, I can't contact it, this is just a new one, there is no money to eat. Li Jinyi squeezed his eyebrows, and his heart was obvious.

"Hmph, I see. Lu Xin nodded knowingly, then leaned into Li Jinyi's ear and whispered: "I heard Lena say that when you were injured, you couldn't feed yourself, and there were beautiful nurses who fed you mouth-to-mouth every day, is it true?

"Listen to her nonsense, except for the drugs that seem to be a little better, everything else is not as good as us, and even they don't have a TV in their ward, you can't imagine how boring it is to do nothing and lie down all day. Li Jinyi didn't lie, there was indeed no TV in Yin Yuyao's study.

"Hey, that's okay, you can go, go to the living room, don't disturb the two-person world between me and Xiaoxuan, go out and ......" Lu Xin said as he pushed Li Jinyi out of the kitchen, and closed the door with a "bang" by the way.

Li Jinyi, who was "deported", smiled helplessly. He came to the living room and sat for a while, but he didn't seem interested in the programs that girls liked to watch, so he went out into the courtyard and took a walk.

............

After sending Li Jinyi away, Yin Yuyao returned to her own gym to practice archery, and there was a photo of Li Jinyi from nowhere in the center of the target, and every arrow pierced the eyebrows without exception.

"People haven't finished talking yet, so hurry to go, hurry back to reincarnate, shoot you stupid pig......" she kept muttering.

The door of the gym slowly opened, and a maid walked in.

"Master, there is an emergency, Yuhiko Tahara-sama asked for a call. ”

Yin Yuyao turned to look at the maid and nodded.

The maid slides the optical buttons floating in front of her, and a set of images are projected on the wall, showing some of the members of the Passive Web who have been photographed appearing in the city, all wearing masks with the organization's iconic mesh pattern painted on the masks.

Yuhiko Tahara's voice came from the communication device:

"Lord Patronus, since yesterday afternoon, a large number of members of the Passive Network suspected to have come from all over the world have begun to appear on the streets of Tokyo, Japan, and it is speculated that they may have gathered here to hijack the city in exchange for Saquig. ”

"Hijacking the city, making such a big move? It seems that catching Saquig this time really hurt their bones, and they want to fight to the death. But isn't this just giving us a chance to catch them all, what is the action on the Star Alliance's side?" Yin Yuyao thought as he propped his hand on his chin.

They were still watching, and it was said that if there was a riot, Fern would personally lead the team. Yuhiko Takuhara replied.

"Why wait until the riot starts, people can't live if they die, forget it, no matter what the conspiracy is, this girl can solve it. After the order, all the stars entered a state of first-level combat readiness, Caroline, Ian, Eschel, and Lihara-kun, and they brought people to meet me in Tokyo City within two hours, and nip the riot in the bud as soon as possible, and remember to act secretly so as not to be seen. ”

"My subordinates understand, so let's do it. On the other side of the phone, Yuhiko Takahara quickly replied neatly.

At the end of the call, Yin Yuyao set up the wooden bow, wiped her sweat, and walked out of the gym to prepare for action.

............

Li Jinyi squatted in front of the flower bed in the courtyard of Lu Xin's house, carefully studying the newly planted wildflowers. According to Lu Xin's character, running into the forest every once in a while is definitely not just to transplant these wildflowers for viewing. Either the things he was really interested in were still in the forest, or the wildflowers were problematic in their own right. But Li Jinyi pondered for a long time, but he didn't find any difference between these flowers and ordinary wildflowers.

"What are you doing there, eating. The door opened, and Lu Xin walked into the courtyard.

"You went to the forest just to find these flowers?" Li Jinyi stood up, with a secret smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Xin first made a thief-eyed expression, then looked back at the door, then looked around again, and then whispered to Li Jinyi:

"Of course not, these wildflowers were just brought back by me to trick them, and after the meal is over in a while, I will take you to the forest to have a look, and I will talk to you slowly on the way." With that, Lu Xin patted Li Jinyi's hand and turned around and walked towards the house.

Li Jinyi wanted to ask something, but the other party had already walked into the door.

It's right, fill your stomach first, and it's not too late to ask on the way, Li Jinyi nodded, and then walked into the villa.

The girls were already seated, and he found an empty seat to sit down.

Lu Xin took out a bottle of champagne and poured it for everyone, while saying with words in his mouth:

"It stands to reason that it is better for minors not to drink alcohol. Lu Xin looked at the girls present, except for Lena, the four were all minors, "But today is different, today is a double happiness! First, the Arc of Silence has been selected as one of the top ten outstanding teams of the Star Imperial Alliance, and the second is that Li Jinyi, the great hero of our capture of Saqeig, is back intact! So, don't talk nonsense, girls, let's have a toast!"

"Cheers~~!" everyone raised their glasses in unison, with a smile of joy on their faces.
