PS1: This is the final update. May my later years be filled with misfortune! I have evolved!

Then it burned out [vomiting blood].

PS2: I've been thinking about this chapter for a while now. I hope the handling of the emotions won't be too awkward. [Looking up at the sky]

PS3: I'll talk about the update on the 20th after I've recovered my health, I'm too exhausted...

PS4: Although Rita herself felt that she had messed things up with Gu Yu, everything she did was actually helping Gu Yu speed up some of his progress.

Miss maid, you'll regret this one day. [Sneer]

Chapter 112. Ancient Rain, Night Walk

After dinner, Gu Yu was kicked out of the restaurant by everyone, who said, "You've been working hard all day, go and get some rest."

After Gu Yu went into the bathroom to shower, Mei, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, suddenly looked towards Gu Yu's room.

When Vyat attacked last time, the door lock that Mei broke hadn't been repaired yet.

In other words, if she sneaks over there late tonight, it won't be so easy for her to be caught...

Something's not right. What strange things am I thinking?

After banishing the thought from her mind, Mei immediately blushed and tried to focus her attention on the dishes in the sink.

Unfortunately, she immediately lost focus.

Lately, I've been acting really strange. Kiana's father's "secret manual" was clearly just a joke, but she actually took it seriously.

Gu Yu is from China, and the impression that people from China give Mei is that they are very reserved and demure.

Just like Class Monitor Fu Hua, she is steady and reserved.

Gu Yu, who also hails from China, must be a person like that.

Mei, calm down, be more reserved. The situation isn't that bad yet.

It's not time to be desperate yet!

On the other side, Yuno, watching Mei's internal struggle, asked in confusion.

"Mei? Are you alright?"

"Yuno?! I, of course I'm fine."

"In that case..."

Yuno pointed to the chopsticks that Mei had broken in her hand and said helplessly.

"These are unusable, throw them away."

???

At this moment, Mei realized that she had unconsciously used her strength on the chopsticks in her hand due to excessive tension.

After blushing and throwing the chopsticks into the trash can, Mei put aside the strange thoughts in her mind and began to focus all her attention on the sink.

"Honestly, everyone's been acting so strange lately."

After seeing Mei recover completely, Yuno recalled the recent reactions of everyone in the dormitory and felt that everyone was acting a little strange.

Ever since Bronya stopped him in the woods, that little girl has been stealing glances at him every now and then.

She thought she had hidden it well, but please, she was a pseudo-Herrscher, her five senses had long surpassed the limits of humanity, how could she not have noticed Bronya's strange gaze?

Squad Leader Fu Hua and Gu Yu originally had a so-so relationship, but at today's dinner table, the atmosphere between the two was noticeably less tense than before.

Hmm, I heard they went on this mission at the same time. What happened between them during the mission?

Also, Mei's mood has become increasingly anxious and restless lately.

Yuno had a good impression of Mei, after all, they were both in the same boat back then, one being ridiculed by classmates and the other being bullied by others in the class.

When he was almost consumed by his own collapsing consciousness, he said he wanted to kill Mei, but afterwards, she seemed to have forgotten about it and forgave him with a tolerant attitude.

If possible, Yuno hopes that her own can share her burdens.

But judging from the current situation, Mei clearly has no intention of revealing her feelings.

"Kiana is still the best. Her mentality is actually the one that we humans should learn the most from."

Looking at the girl lazily watching TV in the living room, Yuno felt a little envious.

Kiana is always like this, constantly infecting those around her with her sunny attitude.

Some people might think that this girl is carefree, silly, and lacks femininity, but Yuno doesn't dislike Kiana at all.

However, no matter how you look at it, Yuno knows very well that everyone is gathered here now because of that man.

"Hmm, could it be that..."

Suddenly remembering a secret manual she had overheard from the unconscious Kiana in the living room last time, Yuno's eyes sharpened.

"Mei, you're not planning to ambush Mr. Kouyu at night, are you?"

[Bang!]

Mei, who was originally going to pour out the water in the basin, dropped what she was holding because of this shocking statement.

Then, she looked at Yuno, who had already finished her work, and refuted her words haltingly.

"Yuno, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly do such a thing?"

No, no way, Kiana, that big mouth!

"Yes, that's true. You've always maintained the poise of a young lady, how could you do something like this?"

After seeing Mei's reaction, Yuno suddenly realized that she had been overthinking things.

Mei has always had the air of a young lady from a wealthy family. She treats others with composure and gentleness. How could she possibly want to do such a thing?

"I'm sorry, I was just overthinking things."

Someone who does things without any sense of proportion—I think Kiana is the only one in this dorm who could do that.

Hmm, it shouldn't be my imagination.

……

Late at night. Valkyrie Dormitory

After confirming that everyone had turned off the lights, Gu Yu quietly got out of bed.

He longed to drift off to sleep right now, but he hadn't forgotten that there was still an important thing he hadn't finished.

After gently opening the door to her room, Gu Yu tiptoed to Lin's door and gently knocked on it.

"Maggie, I know you're not asleep, can I come in?"

"Mr. Gu Yu... The door is unlocked, please come in."

After hearing Lin's permission, Gu Yu gently turned the doorknob and entered the room.

Five seconds then passed.

Kiana, Yae Sakura, Mei, Bronya, and Himeko burst out of their rooms with lightning speed.

The five of them knew very well that if they started talking now, Gu Yu and Lin, who were in the room, would definitely hear what they were saying.

So, at Himeko's prompting, Bronya immediately pulled out the tablet she had prepared beforehand and began writing on it.

What do you all think?

Gu Yu actually took the initiative to find a girl in the middle of the night and went directly into her room.

This is very strange, absolutely very strange.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Mei immediately snatched the tablet and started writing on it by hand.

Don't overthink it, Gu Yu isn't that kind of person.

Really? Then why do you look so anxious, Mei?

Seeing her best friend Kiana snatch the tablet and look at her with a mischievous grin, Mei felt her blood pressure rising.

I believe this is Mr. Gu Yu's prerogative...

After taking the tablet and writing down this sentence, Yae Sakura, who was thinking from Gu Yu's perspective, was instantly glared at by the other four people's sharp gazes and took several steps back.

Enough with the small talk. Although I feel very sorry for Gu Yu, this matter cannot be taken lightly.

Himeko, with a playful smile on her face, gave instructions to Bronya.

Bronya, using your biochip to directly convert what you hear into text, is that alright?

Mission accomplished!

After saluting Himeko, Bronya immediately began preparations.

Mei-neechan has so clearly expressed her feelings, but now...

Gu Yu, what are you thinking?!

PS1: Some readers have asked about the reader group again, so I'll give a serious response here.

I did consider starting a book club, but after thinking about it, I gave up.

I usually chat with other authors in author groups and hear them talk about all sorts of things. Most of the time, book club groups are just places where nothing's going on; everyone just chats and has fun.

But if one or two idiots suddenly appear, then things will get really bad.

A friend of mine started a book club group, but it got into a fight, and someone reported the group. As everyone knows, suggestive content and suggestive jokes are common in book clubs, and they're sure to cause trouble.
