A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 645: Shirai Kuroko's whereabouts are unknown
"No..." The girl was about to deny it, but after a pause, she finally said, "I just felt that I was too weak and played no role at all in the battle!"

You know, Hufeng Toumi has always been obsessed with fighting alongside Lin Wuming, and even every time Lin Wuming fights the enemy alone, it will arouse her dissatisfaction.

——However, in the two recent battles with Oreos, the role I played... was almost zero!
This made Tiger Bee Toumi feel that his persistence and pride were a joke.

Lin Wuming showed a look of realization and said soothingly, "It's just because you and your opponent don't get along, right? Today's stand for Oreos is essentially a piece of gold. It can't be considered a 'living' thing, so of course it can't be stabbed to death."

"Losing is losing, winning is winning. There's no point in making excuses in a fight." Tiger Bee Toumi gripped the wheelchair handles tightly, as if she was going to crush them. "My strength isn't enough!"

"Okay, stop being so stubborn." Lin Wuming patted the girl's hand. "In fact, I didn't play a big role in today's battle. The real main force was Misaka Mikoto."

"Tsk, that's even worse..." Tiger Bee Toumi muttered to himself.

——Unlike Shokuhou Misaki who took the initiative to retreat to the rear of the battle, Misaka Mikoto is competing with herself for the same ecological niche!
What's worse is that the level 5 "A Certain Scientific Railgun" is objectively stronger than the level 4 "Absolute Penetration".

Tiger Bee Toumi pursed his lips, a serious expression on his face.

Noticing that the girl behind him had fallen completely silent, Lin Wuming belatedly realized the mistake he had made.

—I shouldn't have mentioned Misaka Mikoto...

Lin Wuming's original intention was to explain that he also played a supporting role in today's battle, and his position and situation were similar to that of Hufeng Toumi.

But the tiger bee's honey seems to have understood it to mean something completely different.

She was comparing herself to Misaka Mikoto.

Lin Wuming opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say to comfort Hu Feng Tou Mi.

After spending such a long time together, Lin Wuming certainly knew that Hu Feng Toumi was a person who was quite confident and conceited in his own abilities.

In this situation, any language is pale and powerless.

Just like what Hufeng Toumi said just now - losing is losing, winning is winning.

This is what fighting is all about, simple, direct, without any room for ambiguity.

And so, the two returned home in silence.

"Tiger Bee, we have just enough ingredients at home, let's make strawberry cake." After Lin Wuming counted the reserves in the refrigerator, he decided to use the girl's favorite to revitalize her.

"Hmm..." Tiger Bee Toumi was still daydreaming. Standing at the kitchen door, he tilted his head and reacted for a moment, "Okay!"

——Wow, the situation is a bit serious. Even strawberry cake can’t make her recover?

"As for the strawberry cake, just leave it to me." Tiger Bee Toumi finally regained some energy and pushed Lin Wuming out of the kitchen forcefully. "This is the only dish I'm better at than Wuming!"

Seeing that Tiger Bee Toumi had finally perked up, Lin Wuming didn't insist on staying in the kitchen: "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll be looking forward to it."

Next, Tiger Bee Toumi was busy in the kitchen making a lot of noises.

After a period of patient waiting, a sweet aroma wafted out from the kitchen.

I have to admit that Tiger Bee's cake baking skills are indeed becoming more and more sophisticated, and there is no problem in opening a shop directly with her works.

Lin Wuming is not particularly obsessed with sweets. He will be happy to eat them simply as desserts and snacks.

Even though they had just eaten dinner, Toumi had no problem with the strawberry cake, as it was in her other stomach. Furthermore, it would be a perfect midnight snack for Aho Yomigawa when she got home from get off work. As a result, Toumi made so many cakes in one go that even the three big eaters at home couldn't finish them all.

Tiger Bee Tou Mi regards making cakes as a way to relieve stress. Looking at the cake dough filling up the oven and the cream being processed in the blender, a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously.

She was also aware that she baked too many cakes. But that wasn't a problem.

"They will all come tomorrow anyway, so we can just share the food with them." said Tiger Bee Toumi.

It has become a routine that there will always be guests in this house during holidays.

"Wuming, try it." Tiger Bee Honey cut a piece of the cake it had just finished and handed it to Lin Wuming.

Lin Wuming looked at the cake in his hand and hesitated to take a bite.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" The girl looked at him nervously.

"No, there's nothing wrong with that." Lin Wuming shook his head, "It's just... strawberry cake, where are the strawberries?"

"..."

"Tiger Bee, you also said that the so-called strawberry cake, strawberries are its core and treasure, but I always seem to miss this treasure." Lin Wuming couldn't help but complain.

The girl opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, and a crystal red strawberry lay on her tongue.

"Okay, I get it..." Lin Wuming couldn't help but hold his forehead, "As long as you are happy."

Tiger Bee Toumi was also a little embarrassed - it was completely a habit. When he handed the cake to Lin Wuming, he habitually took off the "treasure" on it.

In the past, there might have been an element of prank, deliberately snatching the strawberries from Wuming's cake; but at least today, Hufeng Toumi originally planned to invite Lin Wuming to taste a whole strawberry cake.

After chewing the strawberry in his mouth a few times, Tiger Bee Toumi quickly promised: "Next piece, next piece of cake, I will definitely not touch the strawberry on top!"

Having said that, she immediately turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

Lin Wuming actually made a complaint because he saw the girl's skillful act of stealing; in fact, he didn't care about the small strawberry on the cake.

He is the one who is in charge of the kitchen and food purchasing at home. It's just strawberries, as a fruit, he can eat as much as he wants.

Carrying the plate back to the dining table, Lin Wuming prepared to savor this masterpiece of tiger bee honey.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Misaka Mikoto?" Seeing the avatar displayed on the screen, Lin Wuming answered the phone while wondering whether to ask her to come over for cake.

"Oh no, Wuming-senpai!" Without even having time to greet her, Misaka Mikoto said immediately after the call was connected, "Kuroko is missing!"

When Misaka Mikoto returned to the dormitory, she found that Shirai Kuroko had not returned yet.

I didn't take it too seriously at the time. After all, Shirai Kuroko had the job of a disciplinary committee member and she usually came back on time.

However, even after the curfew, there was still no news from Shirai Kuroko. When she called to contact him, it showed that she was out of service area.

Misaka Mikoto then became anxious.
