After the combat meeting, Ling Yi followed Haruka Shinomiya to the underground special training ground.

This is a different place than the usual training ground, which is used for competency training. There are a lot of measuring instruments on the walls, and there is a huge glass window near the ceiling, in which women in white coats walk around, presumably in a monitoring room that analyzes various numbers.

For some reason, Fukatsuki and Lisa followed.

…… Fukatsuki's thoughts are not difficult to understand. Finally a person of the same kind appeared, and it was natural that he couldn't help but care, as for Lisa, Ling Yi was a little big, so he could only pretend not to see it.

Haruka Shinomiya caught a glimpse of someone in the monitoring room making an OK gesture at her, so she spoke.

"It's time to go."

"Smack."

Ling Yi nodded when he heard this, and snapped his fingers lightly.

Rumble!

Don't get me wrong, it's not an explosion.

Only the ground cracked, as if it had been smashed by a giant's fist, and cobweb-like cracks spread from beneath his feet.

In an instant, the ground sank by at least half a meter or so.

This is still Ling Yi's strength, in fact, what is going on with [Universal Repulsion], he himself doesn't understand. It can be used completely as you like, and together with your thoughts, your ability will be activated with your mind, which can create a magnitude eight earthquake or a gentle breeze...... He has the final say on the outcome.

“……”

The three onlookers next to each other glanced at each other, and Haruka Shinomiya continued to speak:

"Second preparation."

This time, you don't even need to snap your fingers, just increase the force.

So after only ten minutes, I had to end the ability to practice early.

The reason is that the exercise ground is no longer usable.

There was no way, so Shinomiya Haruka had to find a few beautiful analysts to collect the number of words by means of oral records.

After dozens of minutes, Ling Yi's mouth was dry. I can't wait to drag these serious scientist girls to the room for a lesson, and the province always asks him if this is okay and that is okay, damn, I don't know if I can't say no to men?

Two days after the inspection, the list of members involved in the operation was officially published.

There were twenty people in total. Eight of them were students in the Brunhilt classroom.

Considering the scale of the operation, this number was smaller than Ling Yi had imagined. I'm afraid this is for the worst-case scenario. The result is to minimize losses.

On the day of the announcement, a formal pre-war meeting was held to convey the future plan.

It is planned that in order to lure Basilisk, the members of the Brunhilt classroom will go to the uninhabited island first.

Then the next day, after a lot of work and preparation, Ling Yi was able to lie on the deck and bask in the sun.

The ship was a transport ship for transporting supplies, so it wasn't armed.

Although he asked [Nifuel] to borrow a faster warship, this was tantamount to giving the other party a reason to intervene in this operation. Haruka Shinomiya, the commander of this operation, seems to be particularly wary of Nifuel's sideways intervention.

Presumably, it was the self-assertion of [Nifur] when the Leviathan attacked, and there was a huge gap between the two sides.

On the contrary, Ling Yi, the 'murderer' who carried out the task, was trusted by everyone, probably thinking that the person who held the knife was not necessarily a bad person, and the person who instigated the person with a knife to kill people was the bad person.

…… It's awkward.

"Ah, Monobe! Isn't that a dolphin? ”

Such a vigorous shout. I think it's Elise with my toes, too.

However, Ling Yi can somewhat understand the curiosity of the girls who are locked up in [Midgar] all day long and rarely go out.

"Yo! Tia has already turned the deck! ”

Tia was so excited when she got on the transport ship that she kept running around.

If Ling Yi hadn't closed his eyes, he would definitely be dizzy by her.

Really, little ghosts are little ghosts, and they can't be quiet.

He complained to himself shamelessly, completely forgetting that he was a modern-day 'Peter Pan'.

I don't know how long it took, but the noise finally died down. But then came --

"Are you a turtle? Everywhere you go, you are lying lazily, and you don't have the vitality of a young person at all. Tia has done a better job than you in this regard. ”

Without opening his eyes, Ling Yi only knew who it was.

"Why don't you stay in the break room with them and come here to disturb me?"

"It's nothing, it's just worrying about you. Ever since the Heka and Krees incidents, you seem to have been avoiding me. ”

“……”

Ling Yi opened his eyes slightly, and found that Lisa had her back to her. The upper body was lying on the guardrail, as if looking at the distant horizon, the side face had no expression, and the blonde hair danced in the wind.

This scene is really like a picture scroll.

"Actually, I know what you're afraid of." Lisa said nonchalantly, "As expected. I like you, just like Elise has a crush on Yu Monobe, and I'm also crushing on you, but if I say it now, it can't be considered a crush. Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to make a statement, in fact, my parents told me to choose a marriage contract early a long time ago, which is the fate of being born as the daughter of a big conglomerate. No—before birth, to be exact? While I was still in my mother's womb, it seemed that I had already made a surprising number of marriage contracts. ”

"But my relationship with my parents is not too bad. This is not uncommon in families with huge power and wealth. I think my parents have given their children more freedom, yes, the freedom to choose among the candidates they approve of as betrothed. ”

Lisa's words were filled with a strong sense of sarcasm, followed by a long sigh.

"So I thought, at least indulge it now, and the most my parents will say anyway, 'It's a good experience, let's sing the praises of youth.'" I'm sorry if it bothered you. ”

"Actually, I have a girlfriend."

Ling Yi finally spoke.

Lisa's delicate body was shocked, and she turned her head sharply to look at Ling Yi's clear eyes.

“…… I see, I'm sorry. ”

After a moment of silence, he replied.

His voice trembled slightly, and his smile didn't look like it was sincere.

"--But I can help you with your troubles."

Ling Yi smiled, and her serious and sincere tone made Lisa resist the urge to escape.

"It's useless. My parents won't be persuaded. I've done similar efforts more than once, and even if we were really lovers, they wouldn't have agreed. ”

"That's the way to do it, I'll make them do what you want, and all you need to do is smile. Yes, the smile, the same smile that gave me a little headache and had to accept, that was the Lisa I knew, not the poor little creature who looked like she was now. ”

Ling Yi waved his hand and asserted.

The tone was flat, but there was an unmistakable convincing.

"I'm not a poor little animal! I'm telling you this, it's just that I'm in a bad mood and want to talk to someone. It's true that I like you, but don't get too carried away! Also, even if you want to comfort me, find a reasonable excuse. ”

Lisa said in annoyance, like a fried Persian cat.

"Can you contact your parents now?"

Ling Yi didn't explain to her, and asked directly and clearly.

"Uh, is it okay to make a phone call?"

Lisa was stunned, not quite understanding Ling Yi's intentions.

"Good. Call your parents right now. ”

"What the hell do you want to do? Don't mess around. If you annoy them, you'll be out of luck! ”

"(Staring)—"

"Okay, okay, I'll just call it, but the most you can do is say hello, don't talk nonsense and make them angry."

Lisa couldn't stand Ling Yi's sharp eyes that were enough to stare through the steel plate, so she had to take out her personal terminal. While swiping your finger across the screen, you keep instructing.

"Do your family know about you talking like that?"

Ling Yi plucked out his ears with a disgusted expression.

"You actually call me a chatterbox?!"

Lisa was furious, Miss Ben didn't say so much for you. was so angry that he wanted to smash his head with the personal terminal in his hand.

"Don't talk about so many useless things, okay no."

Ling Yike didn't want to deal with her. No benefit to myself at all.

"Hmph."

Lisa glanced at Ling Yi with hatred, pressed the call button, and handed him the personal terminal.

Soon, the call was connected.

"It's so rare that Lisa will take the initiative to call back."

It was her father who answered the phone.

The voice is loud, full of laughter and warmth, and people can't help but have the impression of a loving father.

However, when Lisa heard this voice, her expression became very unnatural, a little weak, and a little resentful, and it could be seen that she was not very willing to deal with her family.

This was evident in her father's opening remarks.

"Hello, Mr. Mark. I'm sorry I couldn't get your daughter to answer the phone, and I hope you don't get offended. ”

Ling Yi is fluent in London accent English with one mouth, and his proficiency has reached the point where no one can tell which nationality he is from across the phone.

The unexpected voice of the strange man made Mark. Haywaga was silent for a while before he calmly asked, "Hello, I'm Mark. Haywagga, I don't know who you are? ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, I'll forget about me in a few minutes anyway, now prick up my ears and hear every word I say - [Don't interfere with Lisa's life]."

With that, Ling Yi hung up the phone and threw his personal terminal to Lisa.

"Huh?"

Lisa was a little stunned by his tough words, and hurriedly caught the personal terminal, and before she could open her mouth to question, Ling Yi continued: "Contact your mother now. If you are an Oriental, then you just need to deal with your father, but unfortunately you are a Western European, and with the strength of European and American women, you will not let your father sit idly by, so for the sake of insurance, you should also take care of your mother. ”

"What do you want to do! Do you know what you just said? It's over, it's over, Dad will definitely be angry, but it's okay, he thinks at most that I instigated someone else to do it, and when he calls again, I'll take all the blame. ”

Lisa rubbed her temples, trying to calm down the agitation of her emotions and calm herself, really, why does this man always like to mess around, even if he wants to convince him, he should have a correct attitude, that kind of tough way of speaking will only be perceived as provocation.

But the reason why Ling Yi is so 'bold' is not for himself? When I thought about it like this, I suddenly felt a little sweet in my heart.

"Hey, you're making too much of a fuss. Hurry up and contact your mother, hurry up, I'll promise to help you this time, don't waste the opportunity. ”

Ling Yi looked at the girl who had already decided to sacrifice herself to save others.

However, he didn't hate Lisa's honesty and bravery.

In terms of personality, the only difference between Lisa and Asukina is the kindness of Cheng Dù.

Lisa has always been unapologetic to strangers, while Asuna wants to take care of things that don't go well, of course, this kind of kindness is something that most people have.

For example, if an old man is knocked down in front of you, as long as he has a little conscience, he will help him, and as for the consequences, don't say anything...... Maybe you won't do it, but your mood will certainly not be much better.

"Enough! I know you're trying to help me, but forget it, thank you. ”

Lisa shook her head, she didn't want to be angry with her mother, and she didn't want to get into trouble because Ling Yi was angry with her.

“…… If you believe me, call now and ask your father what he thinks of your future marriage, and I'll go back to my room and go to bed. ”

Ling Yi took a deep look at him, got up and left the deck.

"Wait—"

Lisa was tempted to explain that I didn't disbelieve it, but that it was for you're thinking about you, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her lips, and her reason restrained the impulse.

- Forget it, that's it.

Just being wronged is nothing.

Lisa took a deep breath and was about to put away her personal terminal, but suddenly remembered Ling Yi's words before leaving, and couldn't help but lose her mind.

“…… Just apologize to Dad. ”

Muttered, and dialed the phone again.

Dudu-

"It's so rare that Lisa will take the initiative to call back."

It's still Mark. Haywagga, it's still the same as it was a few minutes ago.

“……”

Lisa suddenly felt unrealistic.

The mood is extremely awkward. It's like giving the other party a slap in the face, but the other party doesn't know it, but it feels similar to your warm greeting, which is too strange and unreasonable.

"Lisa?"

"Huh? I, I'm here. ”

Probably because Lisa was silent, Mr. Mark couldn't help but be a little worried.

"It's okay, if there's anything bothering, just say it, and Dad will solve it for you."

"You're so careful, I just want to call you all of a sudden."

Lisa prevaricated.

Mark. No matter how Haywaga said it, he was also the leader of an international group, how could he be fooled by her perfunctory words, and suddenly his mind moved, and he asked tentatively:

"Lisa, I heard that [Midgar] transferred to a boy some time ago."

"There's such a thing, what's wrong?"

"I remember that he was a very good soldier, although he was a little out of the same household with our family, but as long as you are satisfied, I will try my best to convince your mother and strive to let you get married as soon as possible."

"Huh?"

When Lisa heard this, she was stupid.

Is this about the Ministry of Things? (To be continued......)
