A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1037 First Kiss
"Tiger Bee, you've lost," Lin Wuming said.

The girl in his arms nodded gently, and Lin Wuming then released her, letting the tiger bees disperse through the honey.

“Yes, I lost.” Tiger Bee Honey readily admitted, then continued, “No matter what the outcome of the next duel is, my relationship with Nameless will not change.”

"Hey! Don't change the rules of the game without permission!" came a protest from behind.

Misaki Shokuhou couldn't sit still any longer and finally spoke through someone's body.

Tiger Bee turned its head to look, but among the members of the Bee Scavenging Faction, it was impossible to tell which one was speaking.

But it doesn't matter, since they are all Misaki Shokuhou's eyes and ears anyway.

Tiger Bee smiled, gave the girls a provocative look, then turned around, hooked his arm around Lin Wuming's neck, and stood on tiptoe...

No, the girl jumped straight up and crashed headfirst into it!

Caught off guard, Lin Wuming felt the girl's hands gripping the back of his head, trying to force him to lower his head.

Immediately afterwards, the face of the tiger wasp rapidly approaching through the honeycomb appeared.

When they realized what the girl wanted to do, their noses touched first...

At this moment, Lin Wuming certainly couldn't erect a mental barrier for defense. Therefore, after their first close encounter, tears welled up in both Lin Wuming's and Hu Feng Toumi's eyes.

Despite the initial failure, the tiger hornet wasp refused to give up and instead tightened its grip to make a second attempt.

Lin Wuming obediently turned his head to the side and leaned down to kiss him.

Their lips touched, but this time they collided head-on with each other's front teeth...

To outsiders, it was an undeniable passionate kiss.

The girls from the Shokuhou faction couldn't help but gasp and whisper among themselves.

Even after letting go of her inner turmoil and removing the thorns from her heart, the tiger wasp's nature of seeking honey remained unchanged; she was still a tiger wasp, a tiger wasp full of aggression and invasiveness.

Lacking experience and due to its personality, the tiger wasp quickly forgot that it was a kiss, forgot the soft lips and tongue, and instead revealed its sharp fangs...

After a long while, their lips parted, leaving a thin trail of blood.

“I’m sorry…” Tiger Bee Honey licked his teeth and said hoarsely, “I… am not very good at this kind of thing.”

Lin Wuming could only smile bitterly, wiping away the beads of blood that had seeped from his lips with his finger.

"This isn't a matter of familiarity, is it?" Lin Wuming swallowed the blood in his mouth; not only his lips, but even the tip of his tongue was bitten and bleeding. "Kissing shouldn't involve using your teeth..."

"Sorry, I was a little startled just now..." the girl said expressionlessly.

"Well, forget it, let's leave it at that." Lin Wuming shook his head slightly, since he wasn't really at a disadvantage anyway.

After the brief passion subsided, reason returned, and Lin Wuming realized that his kiss with Hu Feng Toumi was inappropriate.

Keep in mind that everyone around us is from the Shokuhou faction!

The girls of the Shokuhou faction were stunned by the series of unexpected developments—first, the tiger wasp Toumi suddenly attacked and successfully stabbed Lin Wuming! Then, the two suddenly kissed passionately, leaving everyone even more bewildered.

—If I remember correctly, they should be in the middle of a duel right now, right? Shouldn't Tiger Bee and Nameless Senior be rivals? Even if they were to clarify their romantic relationship, that should happen after the duel, so why are they already...?

The girls exchanged bewildered glances, even though they were all bystanders unrelated to the matter. However, these innocent young ladies from an all-girls school couldn't help but blush.

So...should we offer them our blessings now?

"Are you kidding me? What is Your Majesty going to do?" "Huh? So what should we do?"

The girls were in a state of confusion, discussing amongst themselves. Suddenly, all their voices ceased.

In the blink of an eye, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Lin Wuming.

This time, starlight seemed to flicker in everyone's pupils.

"This is a battlefield," the girls said in unison.

So Misaki Shokuhou finally took action herself.

“Shokuhou…” Lin Wuming touched his nose.

"Don't worry, Nameless Senior," Misaki Shokuhou said. "They won't bring up any more excuses like breaking the rules."

The girl's tone was flat and steady, without any emotional fluctuation.

But the more this is the case, the more one can feel the Queen's anger.

"Now, losers, step down!"

Upon the Queen's command, the tiger bee, Toumi, immediately turned and walked away.

"Shokuhou..."

“Don’t worry, Nameless Senior,” Misaki Shokuhou said first, “They’re just letting her leave the stage… Or do you want them to use her as a pawn in the next battle?”

"No, this is fine," Lin Wuming quickly said.

"Hmph!" Misaki Shokuhou snorted coldly, striding angrily across the ground as she walked from her hiding place toward the battlefield.

"This is utterly incomprehensible, hopeless, and utterly baffling!" Misaki Shokuhou wished she were stronger; otherwise, she could have crushed the remote control in her hand. "Why did it have to be a tiger bee... So, even the original characters can't withstand a force from the heavens?"

In Misaki Shokuhou's mind, the strongest opponent was undoubtedly Misaka Mikoto, who had maxed out her affection level. As for Tou Mitsu... she wasn't without threat, but she had retreated to the very bottom line from the beginning, so if she was a threat, she was the one ranked lower.

Unexpectedly, she has now launched a sneak attack and taken the lead...

—Tiger Bee is abnormal, and it's also abnormal that she can fall in love with her nameless senior without any reservations!

The crowd parted, and on the other side of the crowd stood Lin Wuming.

As usual, the nameless senior looked at himself with ease.

Accepting the established reality, and given that the boy was indeed shameless, the nameless senior no longer felt any embarrassment or guilt.

—Yes, after all, we knew from the beginning that what the senior wanted was a crystal palace ending…

Misaki Shokuhou suddenly felt a little deflated—the nameless senior was still the same, completely unreserved from her… even a little bit of excuse would have been better…

Sometimes, self-deception is a kind of wisdom.

Unfortunately, the long period of getting along since they met had instilled in Lin Wuming a habit of not putting up futile resistance and never hiding anything from Misaki Shokuhou.

Ah~~ Is this what they call reaping what they sowed? Wasn't it also related to how the nameless senior became "abnormal"?
—And then again, the fact that someone could accept someone who could read minds... and even fall in love with them, is ultimately thanks to Wuming's "abnormality."

How many normal men can accept a girlfriend who makes them unable to keep any secrets, as if they are mentally naked?
—Thinking about it carefully, Misaka-san is really pitiful. Among us, she seems to be the only one who is "normal," right? Even Shirai Kuroko... was a pervert in the original work, has she really recovered her normal powers now?
