Chapter 43: The First Date
After accepting Kurumi's invitation to go on a date, and making an appointment for origami in advance to avoid a bad situation where there was a need to date three people at the same time, Lu Ning planned to go down to prepare dinner for his two younger sisters and Shixiang.
However, before he could walk out of the room, the phone rang again.
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Lu Ning's mouth twitched, and when he picked up his mobile phone, he found that it was an unfamiliar number.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ning still chose to answer.
"Yo, boy, today's things are really good, and he has the style of a hot-blooded comic protagonist."
As soon as the phone was connected, a familiar voice came from there, just listening to the name of the young man, Lu Ning guessed who the other party was, except for Erya, of course, there was no one else.
Hearing Er Ya's words, Lu Ning knew that Er Ya already knew what happened today, and he was not surprised, after all, Er Ya's favorability towards him was high enough, and after drawing a day's comics, he suddenly became interested, and it was normal to use angels to check what happened today, and Lu Ning didn't plan to hide it from her.
In order to save the elf Shixiang, he did not hesitate to turn against the AST high-level and killed the AST headquarters base alone, what is there to hide?!
He is here to save the innocent elves, not to open a harem, not to mention that the elves will know each other's existence sooner or later.
"There's no way, in order to make AST no longer deal with the elves who have been sealed with spiritual power, only this method is more direct."
Lu Ning's tone was slightly helpless.
Er Ya grinned, with a hint of playfulness in his tone, and said, "Then, boy, remember to promise me to accompany me on a date...... Tomorrow at 12 a.m., or 3 p.m., you can choose these two times, and accompany me to Akihabara. β
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Lu Ning's mouth twitched.
Of course, such a precise time choice can't be a coincidence.,It seems that Erya even knew about his date with Origami and Kurumi San.γ
Hearing that Lu Ning didn't reply, Er Ya couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Well, it's fun to step on two boats, why don't you let me join in." β
Lu Ning: "......"
There was a feeling of helplessness in his heart, but Lu Ning knew that Erya was joking, so he smiled bitterly: "Don't play tricks on me, I'm already a little anxious." β
Er Ya smiled and said, "It's just to deal with the three elves, are you already inadequate?" Boy, the total number of elves is more than a single digit. β
ββ¦β¦β
How can a man say no!
Lu Ning took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to see Shixiang's eyes, I don't want to see Kurumi carrying those heaviness, and I don't want to see you being chased by DEM again...... In order for you to be able to live in this world, no matter how much I am asked to sacrifice, this is what I have to do. β
Hearing Lu Ning's words, Er Ya said with a smile: "Well, even if you pass the test, but you still have to do what you promised me, then it will be eight o'clock tomorrow morning." β
"No problem."
Lu Ning saw that Erya didn't plan to make trouble, and he was suddenly relieved in his heart.
After ending the call with Erya, Lu Ning walked downstairs while thinking about how to deal with it tomorrow.
As soon as he came downstairs, Lu Ning saw that Qin Li, who had changed into a black hairband, was standing at the top of the stairs, looking at him above, with two small hands folded on his chest, revealing a commander-like demeanor.
"I actually stepped on two boats at once, but there is still a set of times that can stagger the date, Shidao."
Lu Ning's mobile phone is undoubtedly also connected to Flaxinas, and it seems that Qinli should have known about origami and Erya just now.
Looking at the appearance in the qin, Lu Ning spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's three, and the crazy three, she just ran to my room." β
Bang bang bang.
Qin had a lollipop in his mouth, stretched out his little hand to applaud, and said with a trembling eyebrow: "You actually stepped on three boats at the same time after sealing the ten incense, Shidao, you are going farther and farther on the road of scum." β
"You can't blame me for that."
Lu Ning didn't hesitate to skim it off, and said, "There is no way to refuse each one, I can make the time all staggered, I have done my best." β
"Hmph."
Qin Li glanced at Lu Ning arrogantly, then turned his head and said, "In short, Vlaxinas will fully support your actions tomorrow." β
Although he didn't have any hope for the so-called support of Flaxinas, it would be nice if he didn't help, Lu Ning still touched the back of his head and said, "Well, it's much more reassuring this way, it's really good to have you in the piano." β
While speaking, Lu Ning stepped forward, reached out and pressed Qin Li's little head from behind, rubbed it twice, and said in her ear: "Love you, my lovely Qin Li sauce." β
βοΌοΌβ
The two double ponytails in the piano shook instantly, her cheeks quickly flushed, she gritted her teeth, raised her foot suddenly, and stepped on Lu Ning's instep fiercely.
After slamming on Lu Ning's instep, Qin Li snorted vigorously and walked in the direction of the living room.
[If only I could be stepped on a few more times]
Wait a minute.
What the hell is this thought!
Is this something amazing about to awaken again?!
Lu Ning looked at the back of the qin, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, shook his head vigorously, and resolutely and decisively extinguished a certain attribute that might awaken in an instant.
β¦β¦
Early morning.
Seven o'clock.
"Morning, Toka."
Lu Ning, who was alternating his hands in the kitchen and preparing breakfast in an orderly manner, greeted Shixiang when he saw Shixiang coming out of the room in a pajamas.
"Shidao is early."
Shixiang seemed to have just woken up, and after responding to Lu Ning dimly, the lovely Qiong's nose moved, and she immediately opened her eyes, shining, and said, "This...... What is this, this smell......
"It's a cream cake, well, and your favorite soybean flour bread."
Lu Ning smiled at Shixiang and divided the already made breakfast into four parts, three of which were normal amounts, and the last one exceeded the sum of the three.
Hearing Lu Ning's words, Shixiang's gaze fell on the breakfast that Lu Ning had prepared, and she stared at it directly, as if the sky was falling and she couldn't shake it.
This cute foodie appearance made Lu Ning sprout a little internal injury, and he silently sent it to the dinner table early, and Zhena and Qinli were already waiting at the dinner table.
"By the way, Shixiang, I'm going to go out to do some business early after eating, so you can go out to eat with Zhena Qinli at noon."
After Lu Ning put it away early, he rushed to Shixiangdao.
Shixiang had already put a piece of bread in his mouth and bit it, and when he heard Lu Ning's words, he couldn't help but look at Lu Ning with the bread in his mouth and blinked.
"Yes...... Is it a hassle? Can I help? β
Seeing that Shixiang had stopped even eating, Lu Ning couldn't help but smile, and he didn't intend to hide it from her completely, and said, "It's not too troublesome, well, it's also about elves." β
"Elves?"
Shixiang swallowed a few bites of bread and continued to look at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Well, Shixiang, you should know that there are other elves besides you...... Kotori is also a spirit. β
Shika nodded, and looked at the piano with some surprise, she knew that there were other elves, but she didn't expect that there would be elves in the piano too.
Lu Ning continued: "Here's the thing, a few days ago, when you didn't show up, when I went to find Zhenna, I accidentally rescued an elf. β
Lu Ning simply caught Erya by the DEM company and tortured her for more than four years, which made her almost collapse.
Hearing Lu Ning's description, Shixiang gradually showed an unacceptable expression, and said, "What, that DEM company...... How can such a thing be done. β
"Luckily, I found out about her and rescued her, but she will still be hunted by DEM and AST, so I have to seal her elven power, just like sealing you, so that she can have a normal life in this world."
Lu Ning said slightly apologetically at Shixiang.
"Like me?"
Shika tilted her head, thinking of yesterday's events, a hint of blush couldn't help but appear on her little face, but then there was a sour feeling, which made her bite her lip.
What if Shidao went to save other elves......
However, the duration of this entanglement was very short, thinking of what Lu Ning had said, thinking of the firm gaze that Lu Ning had revealed, Shixiang's heart was inexplicably relieved.
γWhat was I thinking?γ
[It was Shidao who allowed me to stay in this world, no matter how difficult it was, to save the elf, this is Shidao, not to mention that the elf experienced such an encounter......]
Thinking of this, Shixiang gradually showed a relieved smile on her face, looked at Lu Ning and said, "I, I will support you, Shidao!" β
"Thank you, Toka."
Lu Ning looked at Shixiang and showed a smile.
Sure enough, if you say it directly, Shika can also recognize it, there is no need to hide anything from her at all, in order to avoid her misunderstanding, she suddenly discovered something, just tell her about the elf from the beginning.
This is my empathetic and cute Shixiang wife!
Looking at Shixiang who showed a look of 'I will support you no matter what you do', Lu Ning couldn't help but want to reach out and rub it vigorously on her little head a few times.
"Hmph, scumbag."
Kotori watched this scene and pursed her lips and muttered.
The sound of this complaint was very small, and neither Zhenna nor Shixiang heard it, but Lu Ning heard it, and couldn't help but glance at Qinli.
The poisonous tongue in the black qin is so uncute!
What do you call a scumbag?!
He's obviously thinking about the ten fragrances, okay!
This is to avoid Shika getting angry about misunderstanding something in the future, so he told her these things in advance.
β¦β¦
Got permission from the main palace...... No, with Shixiang's understanding, Lu Ning had breakfast at seven thirty, cleaned up, and left the house to go to Erya's place.
didn't bother to take a taxi over, Lu Ning directly called Flaxinas, and used Flaxinas's teleportation device to teleport himself to the place where he had made an appointment with Erya.
"Ah...... Test test, can you hear it? β
Soon after Lu Ning arrived at the station, the sound of Qinli contact came from the invisible earphones in his ears.
Lu Ning pressed the earphones with his left hand and said, "Well, I can hear it, where is Erya." β
"I've just left, and I'll be able to get to you around seven-forty-five."
Jeanri looked at the picture on the screen, held the lollipop in his hand and said, "It's a shame that you can divide all the dating time, otherwise you may have to be split into three parts to go to the appointment one by one, and it seems good to be an earthworm." β
Lu Ning ignored the poisonous tongue in the piano and said: "Er Ya has a confession, she can know the things on your side, and she can also know the conversation between me and you, in a sense, it is also very troublesome to attack." β
"yes."
Qin Li snorted lightly and said, "Fortunately, Shidao saved her, she is not resistant to you, and she has been raised to 80 points of favorability by you a few days ago." β
"But this favorability is not up to the standard of the seal, even if she knows that we are going to attack her, she must be stubborn."
Jean said as she tapped on the keyboard.
Lu Ning pursed his lips.
The reason why he didn't refuse the 'help' of Kori and Flaxinas was because maybe with Erya knowing everything, it could have an unexpected effect, and maybe it could make it easier for him.
In fact, knowing Erya's character and heart, knowing her ability, and having an identity that exceeds the upper limit of the identification limit of the indicative article because of being a contractor, these advantages add up, if he can't seal Erya's spiritual power, then Lu Ning thinks he can kill his head and go to heaven to see Brother Cheng.
Ten minutes later.
"Yo, boy, I'm here early."
I saw Er Ya carrying a shriveled dark green travel bag, carrying a travel suitcase in his hand, and there seemed to be a folding trolley on the box, and he appeared at the station as if he was fully armed, and came to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning smiled at Er Ya and said, "No, I just arrived." β
Hearing Lu Ning's words, Er Ya blinked his eyes and said, "Lying without any change in expression at all, boy." β
Er Ya, who was able to use the Notice, of course, knew that Lu Ning had already arrived at the station nearly twenty minutes in advance and was waiting.
Lu Ning shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is a polite lie, in order to avoid making the lady wait for such an embarrassing situation for a long time, of course I have to come over earlier." β
Hearing Lu Ning's words, Er Ya smiled and said, "What you said is very reasonable, well, in the piano over there, it's early." β
While smiling, Erya looked up at the sky, waved his hand, and opened his mouth like a greeting.
This image appeared on the screen of Flaxinas's command room, as if Erya's gaze pierced through the screen and looked at the piano who was sitting in the commander's position.
ββ¦β¦β
Qin Li exhaled and said, "It's indeed quite a difficult opponent, Elf Erya." β
Of course, Erya couldn't see the situation in the command room of Flaxinas, but she could know that Qinli was using a remote camera to monitor the footage there, and she also knew Qinli's every move.
Everything is on the bright side...... That's pretty much the case.
