A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 770 On the Way to the Restaurant

On his way to the restaurant, Lin Wuming saw a familiar figure once again...

Today, the dormitory of the 7th School District is filled with the active figures of "maids," but among the many maids, the one in front of us is different.

Although she was wearing a standard maid outfit, the color scheme was yellow and black, which was completely different from the black and white color scheme of the other maids.

Perhaps it was a privilege of being the head maid, or perhaps it was just Yun Chuan Juya's personal hobby, but in any case, her maid outfit was noticeably different from the others.

At this moment, the head maid, who was in charge of all the maids today, was behaving very strangely. She was bending over and looking around furtively as she moved around.

It also seemed as if it was searching for something.

"Yunkawa-kun, what are you looking for?" Shirai Kuroko couldn't stand it anymore and called out to her.

This morning, this person repeatedly emphasized the importance of maintaining proper etiquette and not giving visitors a "rude" impression.

Now it seems that the head maid herself has made an exception?

Noticing someone approaching, Yun Chuan Juya seemed to switch instantly, immediately straightening up and displaying a flawless expression: "Sorry, I was a little out of line just now. May I ask... is it Shirai-kun?"

Yun Chuan Juya looked relieved: "With Shirai-kun here, there won't be any problems. Well then, please allow me to take my leave first."

“Oh, right,” Yun Chuan Juya stopped again and said, “If you’re looking for Misaka Mikoto, she’s not in the restaurant, and neither are Shokuhou-san and Tora-san.”

“No need for you to worry,” Shirai Kuroko said. “We’re just going to have lunch, and I’ve already contacted my sister.”

"That's good," Yun Chuan Juya said. "Please wish her a successful performance."

"Wait a minute," Shirai Kuroko pressed, "what were you looking for? Do you need help?"

“I’m looking for a special visitor,” Yun Chuan Juya said, “but it’s just a private matter for me, so don’t worry about it.”

As she spoke, Yun Chuanjuya seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and walked straight to Lin Wuming: "Boss, you might run into him, so please keep an eye out for any unusual visitors..."

She shook her head and changed her mind halfway through her sentence: "No, never mind, just enjoy today's activities. That's all then, please allow me to take my leave."

Having said that, Yun Chuan Juya lifted her skirt, curtsied, and then turned and left.

"She...recognized me?" Lin Wuming asked.

“Obviously, yes.” Shirai Kuroko spread her hands.

"So where did things go wrong this time?" Lin Wuming turned to look at the window on the other side of the corridor, scrutinizing himself through the reflection in the glass. "How did she recognize me?"

Thinking back carefully, the words "nameless senior" didn't seem to appear in the conversation just now, did they?

“Don’t let her appearance fool you,” Shirai Kuroko explained, “Kumokawa-san is indeed an outstanding student at the Ryouran Housekeeping Girls’ School.”

“Of course I know that,” Lin Wuming said. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked her to help me manage the foundation.”

“No,” Shirai Kuroko shook her head, “What I mean is, by that school’s standards, only those who can recognize the master they serve at any time are qualified maids.”

"Just because of this?" Lin Wuming clicked his tongue. "Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration..."

However, considering the various actions of Maika Tsuchimikado in the original work, it seems that such a high-class maid is not impossible.

After hearing this, Saten Ruiko couldn't help but exclaim, "What an amazing maid..."

“It’s simply unimaginable.” Kazari Uiharu exclaimed with admiration. “It’s even more unimaginable that someone could afford such an extravagant maid…” “Nameless-senpai is one of them,” Kuroko Shirai said calmly. “So don’t overthink it, just treat it normally.”

“The nameless senior is also a remarkable person,” said Haruharu Shiori.

"Alright, let's go inside quickly," Lin Wuming said. "We can talk about anything while we eat."

Today, the building is filled with so many familiar faces. It's not just Lin Wuming himself; the girls around him also frequently run into their classmates or friends.

When encountering someone you know, stopping to greet them and exchanging pleasantries is the most basic etiquette, and sometimes you have to spend more time chatting for a few minutes.

So much so that even a short corridor required frequent stops and starts, making the journey extremely difficult.

With the restaurant finally in sight, Lin Wuming really didn't want to be delayed at the entrance again for some strange reason.

"Um... excuse me," a familiar voice came from behind, "is the restaurant in this direction?"

Looking back, sure enough, it was Touma Kamijou with his spiky hair.

However, Touma Kamijou wasn't asking Lin Wuming and his group, but rather the other maids passing by in the corridor.

"I'm so sorry, I got a little lost..." Touma Kamijou said, scratching his head and chuckling sheepishly.

After confirming that they were heading in the right direction, Touma Kamijou walked over, muttering with great emotion, "It's really not easy, finding even a restaurant is so difficult..."

"And I got lost. Have I been assimilated by that Nameless guy?"

"..." Lin Wuming looked over speechlessly.

Several girls around him also looked at Lin Wuming.

This time, however, Lin Wuming's disguise finally worked, and Kamijou Touma did not recognize him when he passed by.

"Ah, it's you, Shirai-kun." Among the group, Touma Kamijou only recognized Shirai Kuroko, so he stopped to greet her and then confirmed again, "Your clothes... You're a maid today too, right? Is the restaurant here?"

"Yes," Shirai Kuroko said helplessly, "It's just ahead, there's a nameplate on the door of the room."

"Ah, thank you very much, I won't bother you any longer..." Kamijou Touma quickly said.

"Seriously, didn't you already ask? Is it really necessary to confirm it again?" Shirai Kuroko retorted.

"Well, it's better to be cautious," Touma Kamijou chuckled awkwardly. "After all, this is a girls' dormitory; you can't just walk into any place..."

Well, Lin Wuming understood to some extent why this guy was being so cautious.

Considering Touma Kamijou's inherent "luck with women" and "womanizer" traits, he might have just gotten lost in a strange place and triggered some special event.

Shirai Kuroko thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I see, your consideration is indeed very reasonable."

Because they were heading to the same destination, they chatted as they walked. By the time they finished talking, they had arrived at the restaurant entrance.

"It really is close." Touma Kamijou nodded with a pleased expression.

Then, after listening intently and seemingly confirming something, he composed himself and stormed in.
