Location: White Emperor College, Bell Tower, Student Council Hall.

"Please use tea and be careful ...... scalding"

A cup of steaming black tea was placed in front of Gui Daisy and Ayasaki, and then Mu Xiu gently sat back in his original position, looking like he didn't care about himself, just listening to the conversation of a few people.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was not too interested in such a thing, but he was listening attentively to what others were talking about, so that people couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while.

Spring Breeze Qianying is indifferent or cold, explaining this marathon to the debt housekeeper: "...... This year's marathon is divided into several events according to the distance to be run, and although it is called a "marathon", the shortest event is only 500 meters......

Maybe it's really a human being, as her name suggests, her voice is also steep like a spring breeze without any ups and downs, steady and uninhibited.

"Is that so? Aha......" The debtor butler reached out and touched the back of his head, I don't know why, when he was talking to other people, he was using Ding Ning or honorifics. However, at this moment, he tried hard to make his tone and topic turn a little more natural, but it still made people feel unusually stiff.

"I'm wondering, I don't know what kind of project Miss Daisy and Mu Xiu plan to participate in......" he said, his earnest eyes looked at the pink-haired girl and the black-haired boy opposite.

Because of the "one point difference" incident not long ago, Gui Daiju specially dragged her sister to the door to apologize, so now she and the debt housekeeper are not strangers.

However, the elder only smiled and reached out to take the teacup, she first smiled politely at Mu Xiu and thanked her, and then said slowly and in a natural tone, "What kind of project do you participate in?" I'll take part in all of them! ”

“……”

Ayasaki Sa maintained the posture of reaching out and scratching the back of his head, and his body stiffened briefly for a moment, "Ah~~~ That's it...... All of them will participate......"

As if trying to swallow a mouthful of saliva, he racked his brains and whispered hesitantly, "It's too hard to participate in all of them, isn't it?" And winning them all doesn't seem like a good thing...... That, Miss Daisy, would there be any items that you deliberately put water on? ”

The words have already reached such a point, basically his intention is self-evident, the spring breeze Qianying pushed the glasses, the flash on the lenses flashed, and the temperature of the entire student union hall seemed to have suddenly plummeted by a few degrees.

Mu Xiu raised the teacup and took a sip, his eyes lowered, so that people couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"Ahaha, Ayasaki-san, you're really- I look ...... Like someone who can release water? ”

The pink-haired girl replied casually with a smile on her face, as if she had taken it for granted.

"Oops! It's nerve-wracking...... It's not like it at all...... "The debt butler has been in that position for a full ten seconds, but instead of putting it down, it seems to be completely frozen. The corners of his mouth twitched, and a big cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing that there was really no possibility of a breakthrough for the student council president, Ayasaki had to smile bitterly, with the last trace of hope in his eyes, and looked at another "target".

"That, Mu Xiu-san—"

"Well, what's the matter?" Mu Xiu nodded casually, and after looking at the debtor steward for a while, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly to outline an obvious arc, and the expression on his face also changed to a smile.

"This ......," the debtor butler struggled to maintain an etiquettely impeccable smile, but a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead again. Could it be that you didn't hear us speak at all, or should I point out here that you are so smiling and married to Miss Daisy?

"So, are you curious about which program I'll be participating in?"

After listening to the question retold by the debt housekeeper, Mu Xiu said slowly, and then in the expectant eyes of the debt housekeeper, he did not say such a cruel answer as "all will participate", but in a sense, it made the other party even more uncomfortable.

"Don't ask such a sharp question, it's hard for me to give you a clear answer directly."

Ayasaki Sa couldn't maintain a proper smile anymore, and immediately put on his face full of surprise: "-Why! ”

Mom, humans are really hard creatures to communicate with.

Mu Xiu looked away from the balcony window, and turned his head after a while. He still maintained the smiling expression that was very similar to the Gui Daisy just now, and said, "Anyway, when you see the Gate of Truth, you will know the answer to this question." ”

"Yes, yes? Wait, no, I don't know how to refine the human body, and I just want to ask Mu Xiu which marathon event you plan to participate in, how much do I have to pay for such a simple answer! ”

"Ahem, don't worry, boy, we all know what you're for......"

Mu Xiu retracted his expression and stretched out his hand to pull out a thin page of documents in the drawer of the desk. "However, I think you should consider the sixth event, the freestyle marathon is better......"

Five minutes later.

Ayasaki happily took the page and left, seemingly receiving a satisfactory answer.

Spring Breeze Qianying retracted her gaze, then looked back and forth on the faces of the two opposites, and after a while, she was the first to break the silence: "President, are you going to team up with Mu Xiu in the sixth freestyle marathon?" ”

"W-What?"

A white palm knocked over the teacup on the table, and Gui Daisy hurriedly got up and pulled out a few tissues from the side.

"I've already signed up for Meixi, it's with Meixi...... So how could it be possible to team up with Mu Xiu or something! If Mu Xiu also participates in this event, it would be better to find someone else to join him......"

"I think so, too." Mu Xiu was very crisp.

After all, the boy had known about this plot for a long time, so naturally he didn't have any special emotions and thoughts, he just nodded naturally, and naturally agreed with Gui Daisy's statement.

Then he looked at the elder as if he was aware of it, but only saw the pink-haired girl with her head down and wiping the water marks on the table very naturally, tidying up all kinds of bits and pieces.

It's just that Mu Xiu has the ability to perceive breath, so he tilted his head slightly, why was the other party suddenly unhappy?

……

……

Time has passed in the blink of an eye.

The date on the calendar has come to the first of February, which is suitable for travel, seeking wealth, getting married, and being buried; Avoid lawsuits, prayers, groundbreaking, and betting.

"Hmm...... In short, because of this, I am your teammate this time! ”

The salute rang out early in the clear spring sky, and the chill of the morning was not completely dissipated. At the edge of the long red plastic runway, standing at the forefront of the crowd of onlookers, Lilicia Fujido held a wireless microphone in one hand, gently lifted the hem of her skirt with the other, and smiled elegantly at someone looking up at the sky.

"Therefore, protect me!"

"Because it's too brief, I don't know anything...... Mu Xiu's head was full of black lines, from the posture of raising his head to making people worry that his cervical spine would be misaligned, he lowered his head and said in great confusion.

In all fairness, the girl in front of him is indeed a real beautiful girl, but the inner essence is too bad, plus it is exactly the same voice as the black long straight of a certain Warring States period, and he only thinks about how far away he can from the other party.

The freestyle marathon is one of the five major events of the White Emperor Academy, but it has not been held for many years before, and it is only now picking up again. Because of its rules and regulations, this event itself has a certain degree of danger, that is, there are not too many restrictions, starting from the starting point, passing through several stations along the way that must be checked-in, it is basically a lap around the White Emperor Academy, and the person who reaches the finish line first is considered to win.

It's just that you must know that a large part of the area around the White Emperor Academy is an undeveloped area, with incredible terrain such as primeval forests, mountains and valleys, and the few points that must be passed, no matter how short the distance is, there is also a distance of 50 kilometers to run—which is already a few kilometers more than the internationally popular marathon distance.

The rule is that they work in pairs, and if they finish the race, they can be combined freely, and if they can't find their teammates, they will be randomly selected from this category of individual applicants to become a team.

It's just that Mu Xiu didn't expect that he would draw the next lottery anyway.

"Hey! It's too rude to say that you want to sign something! Fujido Lilicia said dissatisfiedly, and then showed a noble smile like the eldest lady, "This kind of playful competition, there are no strict rules at all, if it weren't for me teaming up with you, you wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the competition now!" ”

"Anyway, as long as one person reaches the end, it's fine." Mu Xiu sighed, "The undeveloped area of this school is not small, and there are many places where there are no cameras along the way, and it is not so easy to be found if you bury a person." ”

"Wait, what you're saying is even more rude!!"

The blonde girl with two ponytails still had an elegant smile on her face, but the slender palm of the wireless microphone burst out of the veil muscles. She eventually took a few deep breaths, though, and then held up the microphone to her mouth.

- "Please sign up for the freestyle marathon and have passed the race to gather in front of the starting line in the race venue, and the race will start in five minutes. ”

At this moment, a clear, familiar voice came from the loudspeaker, and the announcement was repeated several times.

"......" Muxiu.

"Alright, come on, come on, mate, let's hurry up—" Putting down the wireless microphone, Lilicia Fujido turned around and walked out first.

Mu Xiu had a rather complicated mood, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, squeezed out an ugly smile, and then dragged his heavy steps to follow. "Anyway, what the hell are you here for...... Fujido, can you concentrate a little bit and do your duty as an athlete first? ”

"No, this is the origin direction that I have accumulated since the beginning of existence, and this chaotic impulse cannot be countered ......"

"Mouthful! Is your origin "remnant thoughts"?! ”

The false smile that Mu Xiu had worked so hard to maintain was already full of cracks and signs of imminent collapse, but he vaguely felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't catch it.

Because of the danger of the free marathon, it does not mean that you can pass as long as you sign up, in fact, the runners who appear on the track today are either outstanding in their own athletic ability, or they are very skilled, or they are both, or their teammates have both.

Five minutes later.

"It's all a strong enemy in some way......" Standing at the very edge of the runway, Mu Xiu sighed and raised the starting pistol in his hand.

"Wait, what's in your hand?!" Fujido Lilycia next to her couldn't turn a blind eye to such a situation.

"The starting pistol!"

"Where's the starter?"

"I am!"

“…… You were embarrassed to talk about me just now?! A few bruises appeared on the blonde double-ponytailed girl's face, and she raised the wireless microphone in her hand and pointed at Mu Xiu, who was unconscious.

"It's a fun game to be able to use all kinds of advantages. Fujitang-san, get ready, I'll give an order when I count to three......" Mu Xiu replied without being salty or light, and then looked at the other players who had pricked up their ears in the past on a line, "Ready!" One...... Run! ”

With the sound of a gunshot, Lilycia Fujido, who was still preparing for the pose just now, immediately felt that her wrist was being dragged all at once, and she flew out in an instant!

“……”

“……”

The other people in front of the starting line were still in shock, watching the two of them turn into a black shadow and quickly move away, dragging up an arrogant cloud of smoke behind them.

"Didn't I ask you to prepare, why don't you run right away, it's a drag with you!"

Hearing such accusations, although Lilicia Fujido was in the process of being dragged and galloping, she still opened her eyes angrily in the oncoming strong wind pressure: "I still want to talk about you!" Didn't you say that "if you count to three, you'll be ordered", did you eat two and three?! ”

"Whew, whew! As long as you know one, you can live! ”
