Gravity Girl Shining

But there are other owners in this field.

"Hibiki, Matcha!"

Then, the petite cat girl pounced towards the two people hugging each other, but she was stopped by Chihaya Aine's divine power before she moved halfway.

"Little Lenai, you can't go over there!"

"Interesting men and interesting women are hugging, I want a hug too! Hugs come with matcha!"

"You can't say that! Lenai!"

After being disturbed by Kaname Rakuna, Deng couldn't help but look up, looking at the cat that was stopped by Aine, and reluctantly ended the hug mode.

How to say it, as someone who is often taken care of by everyone, when facing Kaname Rakuna, Takamatsu Deng rarely developed the confidence and sense of responsibility to take care of others.

Perhaps this is the difference between a lonely person and an anthropomorphic cat.

When Shiina Riki returned with a bag of drinks, he saw the strange sight of four people playing with the cat together.

"Richie! Matcha!"

Before anyone could speak, Lenai broke free from the cat-stroking hand and ran straight over.

"How did you know I bought a matcha-flavored drink...Okay, okay, stop rummaging around, I'll find it for you right away!"

Anyway, as long as there is matcha, the cat can be quiet for a while.

Looking at Kaname Rana who was sitting aside and drinking her own drink, Shiina Riki sighed and prepared to distribute the other drinks in the bag to everyone.

"Lixi, what did you buy me?"

Looking at Uehara Hibiki coming over, Shiina Riki was shaken.

"Who knows? I just bought it. Drink whatever you like."

Did you really just buy it randomly? One point for the Tsundere team.

Looking at Uehara Hibiki's meaningful smile, Shiina Riki hurriedly took out a can of coffee and handed the whole bag to Uehara Hibiki.

"It's all given to you, take your time to choose."

Okay, Uehara Hibiki looked at the other parts in the bag and started to distribute them.

Su Shi likes black tea as always, and Ai Yin has been following her recently, trying to get a taste of the upper-class ladies.

What was left was a can of Lixi coffee and a can of Coke.

Strange……

When I order at the RING coffee shop, I often complain about why they don't sell Coke. I never order coffee, but various teas with sugar. Li Xi will remember this, so it's not surprising that he brings me Coke.

But the last bit of coffee...

Uehara Hibiki glanced at the lamp that was standing behind him and didn't dare to come over to choose one.

Drum player, you are the sole pusher of the lamp.

Don’t you even know what flavor of drink Deng likes?

It's too ridiculous.

With a long sigh, Uehara Hibiki took out the last cup of coffee and cola in front of Riki's expectant expression.

only……

"Deng, here's the Coke. I've always liked it, it's sweet. Want to try it?"

Then, Uehara Hibiki opened the coffee and the cool, slightly bitter taste went down her throat. Deng tasted sweet, but she couldn't get used to the taste of coffee. "Consider it my saving grace, Lixi," she said.

Well, coffee is nice once in a while though.

Looking at the dazed Shiina Tatsuki, Uehara Hibiki raised his coffee as if they were drinking from each other.

"Mm, Lixi tastes really good."

“My taste!”

Shiina Tatsuki, who didn't know the truth yet, immediately started to make associations.

When I think of drinks with the same flavor, I immediately think of couples' drinks, indirect kissing, and tongue-sticking. Shiina Tatsuki's imagination can only leap forward in this area.

Suddenly, Shiina Riki turned his head away, afraid that the blush on his face would be seen by everyone, and then drank the coffee in a hurry.

"Okay, time is running out, everyone, let's go to the next place."

"Isn't the reason we don't have much time because you, Lixi, insisted on coming to see the pandas?"

Chihaya Aine, holding a cup of tea, complained about Shiina Ritsuki's hasty remarks. "Usually, Ritsuki is the one who puts the pressure on me, but today, I'm the one who's right."

How does it feel to be accused?

Unfortunately, if it were somewhere else, Shiina Riki might admit her mistake, but in the field of pandas, she would never take a step back.

"Pandas are the cutest. Even if we had to wait in line all day, it would still be worth it. We were lucky to have only waited in line for over an hour since the park opened at 9:30. As far as I know, every time the park opens, the people at the front of the line have been there since 4 a.m."

"real or fake?"

Aiyin was frightened by the even more fanatical panda fans. She really couldn't imagine how anyone could queue for nearly six hours starting at midnight just to see pandas.

Uehara Hibiki was also surprised, but this action seemed strangely familiar.

“It’s like buying limited edition merchandise or game launches in Akihabara.”

"what is that?"

Now it was Shiina Riki's turn to be confused.

"I see."

Somewhat unexpectedly, it was not the social butterfly Ai Yin, but Su Shi who first understood everything.

"For enthusiasts like Lixi, being the first to see the pandas is truly worth the time it takes."

"But everyone saw how adorable the panda is. Other tourists said it's rare to see Xiangxiang so close to the glass. We were really lucky today, and it was worth the wait."

"Lucky."

The keyword was triggered again, and Shiina Riki fell silent.

That bet and request made by Uehara Hibiki...

Too foul.

Although she noticed that Shiina Riki fell into strange silence from time to time, Chihaya Aine had given up trying to understand the panda lover's inner thoughts. Anyway, she was probably speechless after seeing the panda.

"Pandas are indeed adorable, but I've always known them to be very friendly with people. Is a close interaction like today's rare?"

"Because Panda, Kai Xin, and Xiang Xiang are very obedient children. And we are not the lucky ones."

Seeing Rakuna suddenly interrupting the conversation and pretending to casually make the same palm-clasping gesture as Xiang Xiang, Uehara Hibiki was shocked.

Oh, and I learned my skills from Lenai. She's an expert at communicating with animals. Did she talk to Xiangxiang? Could she have known something?

But it's a pity that Kaname's beautiful heterochromatic eyes, like before, always reveal a sense of freedom, and there is no sign of overly emotional expression.

"Okay, now's not the time for some slow chat."

Chihaya Aine suddenly remembered something and reached out to check her phone.

"It's almost eleven o'clock now. Riki and Hibiki both have part-time jobs this afternoon, so everyone needs to hurry."

"But everyone is here to have fun after all. Rushing to check in and see the sights along the way would actually defeat the purpose."

Uehara Hibiki was not in a hurry and looked around at everyone.

"Just like Lixi wants to see pandas, does anyone have any particular animals they want to see?"

"That's not the case."

"me too."

Deng originally wanted to speak, but when he saw that everyone else didn't care, he couldn't help but put down his half-raised hand.

"Deng, if there's anything you want to see, tell me."

Uehara Hibiki naturally would not let her retreat and directly held her hand.

"Then... penguin!"

as predicted.

"As for the Penguin, it's in the West Park. Do you want to go there directly?"

Aiyin looked at the map on her phone and quickly planned a route.

"I want to see lions and tigers!"

Renai's sudden words startled everyone. After all, it was common knowledge that Deng liked penguins, but Renai's words...

"Lena, you are not..."

"Well, tigers and lions are also cats."

In response to Aine’s question, Kaname Rakuna smiled with a determined look.

how to say.

From the perspective of biological classification, it is true and cannot be refuted.

But is this appearance difference too great?

Regardless, since Lenai had spoken up, we had to treat everyone equally and satisfy their requests. Uehara Hibiki carefully looked through the map and quickly made a decision.

"According to the map, lions and tigers are in the northernmost wild animal area. From this intersection outside the Panda House, walk northwest, pass the Elephant Lawn, and reach Bear Hill. Then, make a small circle around the wild animal area, pass the Polar Bear and Seal Park, and take the monorail to the West Park area."

"Not bad. Although we missed the five-story pagoda and most of the bird park, this route allows us to see most of the star animals in the East Park without wasting too much time."

Aiyin was only focused on checking the hot spots so as not to miss out on the star animals. This route was amazing.

"Then let's get going quickly, everyone, hurry up!"

This time it was Chihaya Aine's turn to take the lead and lead everyone.

Uehara Hibiki used the excuse of buying matcha candy for Lenai and lagged behind the main group by a few steps.

"Matcha, matcha, matcha, matcha."

Looking at the excited girl beside him, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but think of the magical animal language skill again. How did Lenai cultivate such a skill?

The prices of goods in the zoo are still as ridiculous as ever, but considering the speed at which Lenai consumes candy...

Perhaps the reason she hasn't gotten cavities yet is a more bizarre supernatural event than being able to talk to animals.

"Hibiki? What are you thinking about?"

Reluctantly paying the bill, in order to complete the task of training the cat, Uehara Hibiki bought two extra boxes of matcha candy and started feeding the cat.

"Lenai, just now in the panda house, did you..."

No, that's not the right question.

"Lena, can you talk to animals?"

"Hum hum."

Kaname Rana didn't say anything with her mouth full of candy, but just smiled slyly and put her arm around Uehara Hibiki's arm.

Those beautiful heterochromatic eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, as if they could see through Uehara Hibiki's soul.

Is this considered a default?

That’s right, I have already confirmed this fact through the system, and now it’s just a matter of revealing it.

"Lena, how did you do that?"

As Uehara Hibiki asked tentatively, he prayed silently that no Onmyoji family or Holy Grail War would pop up, as his mortal body could not withstand such a sudden change in style.

"I don't know, but one day, I suddenly understood the sounds of animals, guitars, and ghosts."

Kaname Lenai's answer was the safest one: no magic organization, no Holy Grail War, hooray!

But Miss Lenai, did you just say something terrible?

Ghosts are common in supernatural phenomena, so forget about it. But in this world view, can musical instruments really speak?

This is amazing, it’s worthy of the era of the almighty big girl band!

Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but think of his keyboard. If he could hear it speak, what would it say?
