Chapter 65 Locking The Shared Bike
"Finally, I finished Auntie's matter," Li Xia was in a good mood, and the recent gloominess had disappeared. The development of things went even smoother than he had expected.
Mori Mari was not decent in her lifestyle, but unexpectedly had some elegance, which made him feel less annoyed when he encountered her.
With a pleasant mood, Li Xia opened the back door of the car and then froze with a smile on his face. He saw someone in the back seat, dressed in a neat black men's suit, wearing white gloves, and holding a long blade vertically in the car.
It was none other than the black reaper he hadn't seen for a few days, Kirigiri Shimizu.
"Why aren't you getting in?" Kirigiri Shimizu still had a cold expression, turned his head to look at Li Xia, and spoke in a cold voice, "Is there something strange about me?"
"..."Li Xia wanted to say that everything was strange, like how normal people wouldn't hold a blade in a car, but he still held back and obediently sat in the back seat.
"Pfft..." Komachi Akane sat in the driver's seat and saw Li Xia's embarrassed expression through the rearview mirror. She desperately held back her laughter because, after all, she had received professional training.
The car started, and Li Xia felt extremely anxious in the back seat. He was truly afraid of Kirigiri Shimizu, as it was impossible to predict what she would do next.
The last incident involving a mother and son who ran away from home had already caused him to feel isolated at school.
"Is there something troubling you recently?" Kirigiri Shimizu stared straight ahead, using the coldest tone to speak the warmest words: "We are family, share your worries with your mother."
The leader of the ghouls was ambushed, which was a rare major event even within the Special Affairs Department. This caused her to delay her report by three days, and now she needed to expedite the progress of the mission.
According to the system's style, the fastest way was naturally to directly ask him.
"..." Li Xia's expression was indescribably strange. He found it hard to imagine how Kirigiri Shimizu could speak with such a cold expression and tone.
But she asked, and Li Xia did not dare not to answer. He chuckled, "Everything has been fine recently, no particular worries."
The matter of Asakawa Aki and Mori Mari had temporarily ended. If there was any worry, it was only Kirigiri Shimizu, the black reaper. However, Li Xia glanced at the long blade in her hand, and the words remained unspoken.
Kirigiri Shimizu frowned as she heard his answer. How could she complete the mission if he had no worries?
Her change in expression was immediately noticed by Li Xia. Kirigiri Shimizu had always looked serious, but this furrowed brow instantly made the temperature drop a few degrees around them.
Li Xia couldn't help but shiver. He always felt like Kirigiri Shimizu had a look on her face as if she was about to draw her sword.
"You have worries," Kirigiri Shimizu said coldly, her tone icy and certain.
"I..." Li Xia was at a loss for words. He wanted to say no, but when he saw her icy gaze, he swallowed the words and quietly said, "Yes, I have worries..."
As he spoke, he looked at Kirigiri Shimizu's face and asked softly, "What kind of worries should I have?"
Kirigiri Shimizu turned to look at Komachi Akane and asked, "What kind of worries should a college student have?"
"Huh?" Komachi Akane was enjoying the show and didn't expect to be asked. She stumbled for a moment, almost stepping on the brakes. She could also feel the killing intent from Kirigiri Shimizu and cautiously replied, "The worries of a college student should be... love?"
Kirigiri Shimizu turned her head coldly and looked at Li Xia, her eyes filled with a strong sense of threat. She had to trigger the mission today.
"Uh... love, huh," Li Xia's face looked unpleasant. Although he had also thought about having a romantic relationship after entering university, due to his senior and his aunt's situation, he really had no intention of dating now. Despite being threatened by Kirigiri Shimizu, he still patted his head and said, "Compared to love, I think studying is more important."
As soon as he finished speaking, the long-lost system prompt sounded in Kirigiri Shimizu's mind.
"Ding, detected keywords: love, study, random mission triggered."
"Random Mission (2/3) Love and Study"
"Mission Description: Both love and study should occupy an important place in a child's life. Please complete the following tasks, mission scores will be cumulative."
"Task 1: Help Li Xia achieve good grades in a team assignment."
"Task 2: Help Li Xia have a romantic relationship."
"The deadline for the task: None."
"The reward for the task: The final scores of tasks 1 and 2 are multiplied by 60% and added together to give the final score. The higher the overall score, the greater the chance of obtaining advanced skills."
"Double task..." Kirigiri Shimizu immediately started analyzing. This situation had never occurred before, and the workload had doubled.
But high risk comes with high rewards. The reward is the sum of the two scores, multiplied by 60%. In other words, for a 120-point question, 100 points would be the maximum reward.
The advantage of this task is that it is easier to obtain high scores and acquire rare skills, but there are pros and cons.
Li Xia also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. After he finished speaking, Kirigiri Shimizu fell into contemplation and no longer paid attention to him. Obviously, his response had made her lose interest in him, which was good news.
Soon, the car stopped downstairs at his house. After bidding farewell to the two, Li Xia was about to get off the car.
Suddenly, Kirigiri Shimizu turned her head and looked at him, saying, "Go home and get some sleep, don't play with your phone."
"...Alright." Li Xia's expression was strange, but he obediently nodded. Kirigiri Shimizu obviously didn't realize how out of place it was for her to say such words with a cold face and icy tone.
He came home and found that the lights in the room were still on. Fujino was propping her chin up with one hand and flipping through a book with the other.
"Senior, I'm back," Li Xia stood at the doorway, taking off his shoes and greeting her. In fact, he knew Fujino was also very dangerous.
But compared to Kirigiri Shimizu, whose behavior patterns were unpredictable, Fujino wasn't as scary.
"Welcome back," Fujino closed the book, tilted her head, and said with a cute expression, "Do you want to eat first, take a shower, or have me first~"
"Senior, don't make jokes like that," Li Xia shrugged. Since the last time Senior bit him on the chest at the cafe, she seemed to have become more open about it.
Although she still looked silly and cute, she always said some ambiguous things with an innocent expression.
"What book is Senior reading?" Li Xia looked at the black-covered book she had closed.
"It's a very interesting story~" Fujino smiled, "It's a story about a protagonist and a woman of the night."
"Lately, it's quite popular to advise women of the night to turn over a new leaf," Li Xia shrugged, "What's the difference between that and locking a shared bicycle?"
"Hehe~ It is said that men have a unique feeling towards elegant ladies." Fujino looked at Li Xia with a half-smile: "Do you have that, Li Jun?"
