Li Wei shook his head and said, "Apart from you, Qian Dong, no one else knows about this. Even Cecilia and Houki don't know."
Chifuyu Orimura said, "In other words, this is a secret between you and me."
Li Wei still didn't let go of Chifuyu Orimura's hand, and said, "I want Chifuyu-nee to know that I'm not an ordinary student. I have a trump card that can protect you, so I can share your burden. No matter what difficulties you encounter, Chifuyu-nee, I will always be your safe haven."
Chifuyu Orimura stared silently at the wreath that had transformed into starlight and vanished. She didn't know what to say. She could feel Li Wei's care for her, a care that transcended the boundaries of their sibling relationship.
Chifuyu Orimura said, "My situation is rather complicated, and I don't want to cause you any trouble."
Li Wei pulled Chifuyu Orimura into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said, "I hate the Japanese people's attitude of not wanting to bother others. I can help you, Chifuyu-nee. As long as you ask me for help, I will definitely lend a hand. So, don't rush to refuse, okay?"
Chifuyu Orimura felt the sense of security emanating from Li Wei's strong chest and couldn't help but marvel at how she had found such a sense of security in a boy much younger than herself.
Chapter 4. Cutting Through the Gordian Knife
Li Wei held Chifuyu Orimura tightly, refusing to let go. He knew that if he let go now, all the groundwork he had laid would be for nothing. Chifuyu Orimura had many concerns in her heart, and if she were to come to her senses, her concerns would overwhelm her current impulse, and the two of them would become distant because of the awkwardness at this moment.
"Please let me go, okay? I know how you feel..."
“No, you don’t know.” Li Wei interrupted Chifuyu Orimura directly. This was a crucial moment in the close combat, and he wouldn’t give Chifuyu Orimura any time to hesitate.
Although this scene was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Li Wei, he has now launched an attack, and drawing his sword will inevitably result in bloodshed.
Li Wei hugged Zhi Dong tightly and said, "Zhi Dong sister, you always treat me like a younger brother, but I don't want you to be just my older sister. Moreover, I want to protect you, not just as a younger brother protecting his older sister, but as a man protecting his woman. Do you understand, Zhi Dong sister?"
Chifuyu Orimura was flustered. She hadn't expected Li Wei to have such thoughts. Her conservative nature made her want to escape from the situation, but Li Wei's hands were so strong that she couldn't avoid his passion.
Chifuyu Orimura felt her whole body burning up; not only was her heart racing, but her face was also flushed. She asked herself, "Don't I have any feelings for Li Wei?"
However, the answer she received was no. She didn't know when it started, but she had become accustomed to paying attention to Li Wei, and seeing every bit of his growth made her happy along with him. She told herself that this was a sister's concern for her brother, a perfectly normal feeling. But now, facing Li Wei's questioning, she realized that her feelings for him weren't so pure. She also wondered if Li Wei would ever become the person she would spend her life with.
Li Wei, possessing the ability to read minds, could naturally sense Chifuyu Orimura's wavering emotions. Therefore, he wanted to seize this opportunity to continue his pursuit. If all went well, the two could solidify their relationship at this point. However, missing this opportunity would mean facing a long and winding road ahead for them.
"Li Wei, let me go first. There are so many people watching. If the students see us, I won't be able to maintain my dignity as a teacher," Chifuyu Orimura whispered.
Li Wei said, "I won't let go, and Qian Dong-jie, haven't you noticed that no one around us has even noticed the two of us?"
When Chifuyu Orimura heard Li Wei's words, she turned around and saw that the people around her were treating them like they didn't exist, and would even actively avoid them when passing by.
"What is this?" Chifuyu Orimura was surprised; she hadn't expected Li Wei to possess such abilities.
Li Wei laughed and said, "It's just a little magic. I just minimized our presence and did some optical invisibility. Now, no matter what we do here, no one around us will be aware of our existence."
Hearing Li Wei's words, Chifuyu Orimura's breathing became a little erratic, especially Li Wei's statement that no matter what they did here, no one around them would be aware of their presence. If Li Wei were to do something indecent to her, how could she resist?
Li Wei said, "Sister Qiandong, I know you have many concerns. You not only have to protect yourself, but also your family, and you're caught between the academy and the country, so many things are beyond your control. But now it's all over, because I'm here, and I'll help you solve all your troubles."
Chifuyu Orimura swallowed hard; Li Wei's slightly domineering words gave her an immense sense of security.
Li Wei knew that to completely conquer a strong-willed woman like Chifuyu Orimura, he had to break down her hard shell and expose her softest side.
Without an intelligence advantage, it would be extremely difficult for anyone else to do such a thing. However, before entering this world, Li Wei had already collected a lot of information related to Chifuyu Orimura, and at the same time, he used mind-reading to peer into Chifuyu Orimura's mind.
If love is likened to a war, then Li Wei is like someone who has cheated, gaining absolute transparency on the battlefield. In front of him, Chifuyu Orimura has no secrets whatsoever.
It was precisely because of the one-sided transparency of information that Li Wei dared to launch a swift offensive at this time, preparing to capture Orimura Chifuyu.
Chifuyu Orimura seemed to have lost all her strength, leaning against Li Wei's chest and sighing, "Why did you have to appear? Because of you, my heart has been filled with many fantasies that I shouldn't have. Wouldn't it be better to just let these fantasies remain just fantasies?"
Li Wei smelled Chifuyu's fragrance and said softly, "I'm the kind of person who does what I want to do. I like you, Chifuyu, and I don't want to see you continue to sink like this. So, I'm following my heart and I want to change your life."
Chifuyu Orimura feels powerless about her life. She was tricked by Shinono Tsukasa and became the pilot of the White Knight, which was the beginning of her tragedy.
Chifuyu Orimura knew she wasn't an ambitious person. If she could, she would just want to be an ordinary person, experiencing the joys and sorrows of ordinary life. But there's no going back in life. Because of the White Knight incident, she came into the public eye, and the life of an ordinary person was completely out of reach. From that moment on, she had no way out.
For her own sake and for the sake of her family, she had no choice but to compromise. However, the result of her compromises was that she was gradually forced into a corner. Now, apart from IS Academy, she has nowhere else to go.
However, Li Wei's appearance brought a dazzling ray of light to her otherwise gray life. Fear gripped her, and she dared not approach this beauty rashly, only able to watch Li Wei from afar. Even so, she felt immensely happy. Because of the cruel twists of fate, she felt incredibly vulnerable when facing love, and she had become accustomed to running away. While running away couldn't solve the problem, it at least offered her some peace and quiet.
When faced with Li Wei's confession, Chifuyu Orimura instinctively wanted to run away, but Li Wei's strong hands made it impossible for her to avoid her own feelings. Chifuyu knew that she had to make a choice. Having run away countless times, when faced with her own happiness, would she choose to accept it head-on or run away again?
Li Wei said softly, "I will hold you like this forever, Qian Dong. If you don't agree, I will hold you forever."
"I...I promise..." Chifuyu Orimura's voice trailed off, her shyness causing her to bury her head in Li Wei's chest. She felt burning hot all over, her mind like a boiling kettle, and she was almost dizzy.
Chapter 1. Encouraging Momentum
Chifuyu Orimura gently patted Li Wei's hand and whispered, "I promised you, can you let me go now? If we don't go back, they'll start to get suspicious."
Li Wei had no intention of letting go, and the moment Orimura Chifuyu raised her head, he kissed her deeply.
After a long while, when Chifuyu Orimura felt a little short of breath, Li Wei finally let her go. However, Li Wei still didn't let go, because Chifuyu Orimura was already weak from his kisses, and if he let go now, she would definitely fall to the ground.
Chifuyu Orimura looked at Li Wei with her eyes full of dazedness. At this moment, due to the lack of oxygen, she felt that her brain was a little short-circuited. That sweet feeling that went deep into her soul made her indulge in it.
"I... Li Wei, I can't go on. Can you find me a place to sit down? My legs are weak," Chifuyu Orimura pleaded hastily.
Li Wei picked her up in a princess carry, found a bench, and put her down.
Chifuyu Orimura said, "You're such a scoundrel, you didn't give me any time to react at all, but I don't hate you."
Chifuyu Orimura leaned on Li Wei's shoulder, recalling her first encounter with him. Perhaps it was from that moment that she had already noticed him. At the time, she only thought he was very handsome, a sunny and cheerful young man. But now, it seemed that Li Wei was more complicated than she had imagined.
Chifuyu Orimura looked at Li Wei's profile and said, "Aren't you afraid that the academy will hear what we're saying? Teachers don't need to wear ECHO, but every student does."
Li Wei reached out and put his arm around Chifuyu Orimura's shoulder, saying, "If we can't even solve this little problem, how am I supposed to pull you out of this quagmire? I still have some influence within the academy, and I have the academy's intelligence department under my control, so I don't need to shy away from such issues."
Chifuyu Orimura was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Li Wei to be able to do such a thing. However, considering the extraordinary power Li Wei possessed, it wasn't surprising that he could do such a thing. After all, it was magic, a power from a different system than existing technology. It was perfectly normal that existing technology couldn't detect the anomaly.
Chifuyu Orimura sighed and said, "For you, the academy is probably just a place where you can come and go as you please."
Li Wei laughed and said, "Actually, I quite like the academy. At least the atmosphere here is good. Because of the White Knight incident, extreme feminism has risen in recent years, and the outside world can be described as chaotic. In contrast, IS Academy, which is considered by the outside world to be the stronghold of extreme feminism, is different from what I imagined. There are still most normal people here, unlike outside, where demons and monsters are rampant."
Chifuyu Orimura smiled bitterly, "If I hadn't ridden the White Knight back then, perhaps none of this would have happened. In the end, I am the sinner at that turning point in history."
Li Wei gently patted Chifuyu Orimura's shoulder and said, "The problem isn't with you, Chifuyu. I've looked into the relevant information. In that situation, the conflict between the man and woman had reached its peak. Even without the White Knight incident, problems would still have arisen."
Li Wei was very interested in the White Knight incident from back then, so he searched for information about it in the academy library and online. He then discovered that the timing was very delicate, as it coincided with the peak of the economic crisis. In order to divert attention from the crisis, the perpetrators actively stirred up trouble between men and women.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. An economic crisis, a major event affecting all of humanity, has an impact that no one can escape. At that time, ordinary people had no gold left. The stock and bond markets were both in a slump, the global real estate market was crashing, and even precious metals could not fulfill their function of preserving value. It can be said that at that time, the economic system of most of the world collapsed.
Knowing that if the conflict wasn't addressed, Ben's own faction would be collectively targeted and their members hung up on the streetlights, Ben hired a large number of mouthpieces to incite male-female antagonism and exacerbate the conflict, turning the conflict between Ben and the public into a conflict between men and women.
Just then, the White Knight incident broke out. The Japanese used this incident for publicity, but they underestimated its impact. Because of the IS armor, women's social status completely overwhelmed men, leading to a major reshuffle within the Japanese organization. In this storm, many old Japanese organizations disappeared, while many new ones emerged. However, these new organizations were basically feminist organizations controlled by women, extremist organizations disguised as Japanese, and their nature was even worse than that of the Japanese.
·Requesting flowers·· ······
Ordinary people could hardly see through the struggle, but they remembered one name: Chifuyu Orimura.
As the pilot of the White Knight, many men see her as a sinner for the decline of male power, so much so that now when you search for "Chifuyu Orimura" online, more than 100% of the results are negative.
......... .. ...
Chifuyu Orimura, lacking political acumen, was used as a figurehead but gained nothing, instead enduring countless insults. Coupled with the infighting and power struggles within the feminist movement, she became a mere figurehead, ultimately being relegated to IS Academy due to the balancing act between various factions.
It can be said that the world is now in this state not because of any one person, but because everyone has problems, and all these problems collided and exploded, directly overturning the order of human society and causing the patriarchal society that had lasted for more than two thousand years to return to a matriarchal society.
Chifuyu Orimura said, "Thank you for your comfort, but as the one who ignited all these problems, I know what I did. At the time, I was blinded by my own involvement and only thought about protecting Japan; I didn't think about anything else. But looking back now, I realize I had no choice at all."
As a Japanese person, Chifuyu Orimura couldn't just stand by and watch more than two thousand missiles fall on Japan's head. In order to protect her homeland, she had to stand up. Her abilities were also able to support her in doing what she wanted to do, so she did it. As for what kind of impact it would have, she couldn't foresee it at the time, nor did she have time to do so.
Therefore, Chifuyu Orimura would not deny her crime. She knew that she was the driver who stepped on the gas while the car was going downhill, and now that the car had crashed and she had died, she would inevitably have to bear the responsibility.
Chapter 1. Cecilia is eliminated.
After resting for a while, and waiting for Chifuyu Orimura to recover and tidy herself up, the two returned to the beach.
When Shinonono Houki saw the two returning, she said, "You're too slow, Li Wei-kun. It's very impolite to keep a girl waiting."
Li Wei scratched the back of his head and said with a forced smile, "Everyone has to go to the toilet sometimes. I just ran to the restroom. I don't need to go into the details, do I?"
"Ugh, who wants to hear that kind of suggestive stuff? It's good that you're back. We're waiting for you and Chifuyu-nee to get back for the watermelon-smashing game," said Houki Shinohara.
Chifuyu Orimura's expression remained as calm as ever, but when her gaze fell upon Li Wei, she couldn't hide the tenderness in it. Afraid that her colleagues and students would notice something amiss, Chifuyu resolutely avoided looking at Li Wei. She didn't want to reveal her relationship with him yet, because as a teacher at the academy, she had to maintain her dignity; even if she were to reveal it, now wasn't the time.
The others were oblivious to Chifuyu Orimura's change and were still making a ruckus, preparing for the game to begin.
Maya Yamada picked up a watermelon, walked to an open space some distance from the parasol, and put the watermelon down.
Maya Yamada looked at everyone and smiled, "Who wants to go first?"
In this game, the order of arrival doesn't matter. Although IS pilots are generally quite resistant to motion sickness, continuous circles can still cause disorientation. And when a person loses their sense of direction, even with someone giving directions, it's very difficult for them to find their bearings.
However, everyone's performance was definitely much better than that of ordinary people. After all, they were all IS pilots, and with so many barrel roll maneuvers practiced every day, their resistance to dizziness had long been developed.
Cecilia laughed and said, "Whoever suggests it should go first, so I'll go first."
Houki Shinonono said, "The first person to play the game is at a disadvantage. The first person doesn't have time to adapt and can't see how the others do it. Cecilia, are you sure you want to be the first one?"
Cecilia is quite confident in her physical abilities. After all, after a period of intensive training, her physical condition has improved significantly compared to when she first started school.
That's precisely why Cecilia was confident enough to be the first to step up and give the team a winning start. She smashed a watermelon the moment she appeared. Anyway, there were several fruit shops selling watermelons on the beach shopping street, so even if she smashed a watermelon the moment she appeared, she could just go there and buy another one.
Everyone already knew the rules of the game, but Levi thoughtfully repeated them again to make sure Cecilia understood everything before the game began.
Cecilia was surrounded by the crowd and kept circling around, several times counterclockwise and several times clockwise. After several repetitions, even Cecilia, as the pilot of the IS armor, lost her sense of direction and her steps became unsteady, giving her a feeling of flying through the clouds.
"I feel a little nauseous, but it's okay. I can start giving instructions now. I have three chances to strike, right?" Cecilia said confidently as she put on the blindfold.
Maya Yamada laughed from the side, "Don't underestimate this game. Cecilia, your steps are so unsteady now. It's still a question whether you can even find the watermelon."
The rules of the watermelon-smashing game are that the blindfolded person can only receive a limited number of hints, no more than ten. If the person cannot reach the watermelon within ten hints, they will automatically lose.
Therefore, this game has simple rules, but is quite difficult. Even professional soldiers would find it challenging, and for ordinary people, it's purely a gamble.
“Cecilia, turn 30 degrees to the left, take three steps forward, then turn 10 degrees to the right, take four steps forward,” Chifuyu Orimura said calmly.
To ensure relative fairness in the game and prevent anyone from giving arbitrary instructions, the task of giving instructions was handed over to Chifuyu Orimura, whom everyone trusted. Moreover, Chifuyu Orimura had clearly stated that she would not participate in the game, making it appropriate for her to give instructions.
