My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

The internet is a place of profound and pervasive poison; a brand new door can be opened unintentionally to the pure and innocent Arcueid.

PS1: Arcueid's love for watching movies is an official character design of Mushroom.

PS2: The internet back then was far more diverse and vibrant than it is now. I was searching for the arcade game "Knights of the Round" online when I stumbled upon the Saber King forum, and from then on, I was hooked!

Chapter 12: The kindergarten has changed a lot!

So, the next day.

Stunned by Arcueid's words, Levi became slightly distracted.

What should I say when I see Touma Kazusa? Should I say, "You've been spying on me all this time, haven't you, Touma?" or "How do you release and suppress your female hormones when they're high?"

You can't just ask a girl, "Do you want to have sex?"

The boy couldn't help but frown, deep in thought.

"Avi?"

It was at this moment that Li Wei heard the voice of Ms. Aikawa Misato beside him.

"What's wrong, Ms. Misato?" He snapped out of his daze and looked at the teacher standing beside him, who was looking at him with concern.

"Have you been having something on your mind lately?" This is what a kindergarten teacher named Misato Aikawa says, radiating maternal warmth that could make some gamers call her "Mom" or others shout "I love you, Madam!" and then shower her with water.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you were acting really strange today, always busy and then suddenly standing there motionless, you must be thinking about something, right?"

At this point, Ms. Misato subconsciously reached out her hand, and then Li Wei subconsciously squatted down so that the teacher could touch his head.

"Teacher doesn't know what's happened to you lately, but Xing and I will always support you."

These words made Li Wei feel as if he had returned to the scene more than ten years ago when he was first adopted by his teachers.

Back then, I had no worries; all I needed to do every day was play happily. In the evenings, I would be scolded by Ms. Fujibayashi, who seemed angry but was actually concerned. Then, the two teachers would take me to take a bath together—the kindergarten was in a poor financial situation in its early days and water needed to be conserved. Finally, the two teachers would hold Liwei in their blankets, tell him stories, and then go to sleep together.

Now I have a lot of worries. I can only spare one day a week to help out at the kindergarten, tidying up and moving food. Then, in the evening, two teachers take me to take a bath together. The kindergarten has passed the period of financial hardship. Now, we still take a bath together simply because we are used to it. In the end, the two teachers still hold Li Wei in bed, tell him stories, and then go to sleep together.

“It’s alright, Mother…Miri-sensei.” Li Wei almost called her by the wrong name, but he quickly stopped himself: “I will handle everything, don’t worry.”

A real man shouldn't worry his teacher.

Hearing him say that, Ms. Aikawa Misato smiled, nodded to him, and radiated maternal warmth.

So Li Wei rallied and began helping the teachers at the kindergarten.

First, there are the classrooms where the children have their lessons, then the kitchen and dining hall, followed by other rooms, such as the nap room where Ryougi and I used to sleep together, and so on...

The initial tasks were to sweep the floor, wipe the walls, and clear away clutter, then confirm the intended use with Mr. Fujibayashi.

These items are mostly from online shopping purchases made by the silver-haired natural curly hair, or various prizes won from horse racing and pachinko games, and some are junk left over from when he ran the Yorozuya. Most of them are useless, or only a few are useful.

Li Wei's job was to first ask Fujibayashi-sensei if the item was still useful and whether it should be kept.

The teachers' usual response is: "Principal Gintoki brought this back sometime ago, and I don't know its specific purpose."

The items to be cleaned include, but are not limited to, strange watches marked "Omnitrix", black notebooks with "DEATHNOTE" printed on the cover, and round beads that exude spiritual energy, etc.

After asking several times, Li Wei was basically certain that he could do whatever he wanted with these things, and even if the silver-haired, naturally curly-haired man came back, he might not remember what these things were for.

Then things became much simpler. Usable items were sorted and put away, while completely useless items were packed up and stored in the warehouse, to be handed over to the garbage collector on the weekend. Items of unknown use were simply packed in boxes and dealt with later.

These tasks were much simpler than studying runes, and even Li Wei, who didn't particularly enjoy housework, could handle them with ease. In just one morning, the entire kindergarten was transformed.

"Good boy/girl, you deserve a reward!"

Ms. Aikawa said these words, then opened her arms to Li Wei. She then saw him embrace the boy's head, burying it in his chest and nuzzling him, maintaining this position for three minutes before finally letting go.

Fujibayashi-sensei was much simpler. With a flushed face, she looked around to make sure no one else was there, grabbed the boy's head, and gently tapped his cheek.

The difference between these two teachers is truly striking.

However, considering Fujibayashi-sensei's personality, this is probably the limit. If someone sees it and spreads the word that Fujibayashi-sensei is kissing Li Wei, someone could die.

"Wow, Fujibayashi-sensei is kissing Li Wei!" A little nun named Takayama Maria exclaimed from not far behind.

As a result, she instinctively threw out a dictionary. Hearing a "smack," the little nun's eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness. From her open mouth, something that seemed like a soul could be vaguely seen floating out.

She completely fainted.

……

"Ouch...it hurts...what just happened..."

In the restaurant, Maria Takayama, who had regained consciousness after falling into a coma, covered her head, as if her memory had been fragmented.

This child and her sister were both orphans and graduated from the same kindergarten. Because life was very hard, Li Wei asked her kindergarten classmate, who was also a member of the school's board of directors, to help her get a prayer room at the school, which provided her with a place to live.

"Nothing happened." A wise person knows what to do and what not to do; appropriate concealment is also necessary: ​​"Since things have come to this, let's eat first."

Lunch was still large chunks of grilled meat, steak, large pieces of fried chicken and pork chops coated in batter, yogurt and breadcrumbs and deep-fried, large portions of roasted lamb, and small lamb chops—basically all animal protein.

"Oh, oh, oh." The little nun nodded: "But the senior nuns in the church said that monks should be vegetarian to be devout."

Vegetarians? Li Wei had seen some, but their excited appearance only made the boy think that they were not vegetarians at all.

Dealing with children is not so troublesome; a little coaxing is all it takes.

"It's okay, this isn't squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, it's made from radish." Teacher Fujibayashi lied without batting an eye.

"And this roast chicken..." "This is vegetarian chicken, made from soybeans."

"Spare ribs..." "Vegetarian spare ribs."

"Hamburger..." "Plant-based meat."

"Fried pork chop..."

"Teacher Fujibayashi said it's vegetarian, so it's vegetarian. Why are you so talkative?" The boy roughly rubbed the little nun's head and stuffed a piece of braised pork into her mouth.

The world is finally quiet.

Chapter 13: Li Wei's Youthful Romantic Story Has Big Problems

There were two of them when they arrived, but only Li Wei left the kindergarten.

They had a great time eating and playing at noon, but when it was time to leave in the afternoon, the little nun was so tired that she fell asleep.

Children seem to never get tired. They run around happily until they have exhausted all their energy, then collapse into an adult's arms and fall asleep in the shortest time.

Just like Mary.

"Brother Li Wei, Maria likes you so much."

As they carried the sleeping little nun to bed, coincidentally, in front of the two teachers, the child mumbled something that made both teachers look at Li Wei with eyes that seemed to say, "So you like children this age?", making him very embarrassed.

If Maria weren't such a fool, he might even have suspected the child was faking sleep.

This resulted in two people arriving, but only Li Wei returning.

They came to help, but the teachers ended up having to take care of the children, causing them a lot of unnecessary trouble. However, they didn't find it bothersome at all, since they had raised the children themselves.

"Or, Avi could stay here too."

Ms. Aikawa Misato made a very tempting suggestion: "We haven't been together in so long. How about we sleep together, and I'll give you a lap pillow and tell you stories tonight?"

Ms. Fujibayashi didn't say anything, but judging from her eyes, she seemed to mean the same thing.

Li Wei almost agreed on the spot, if it weren't for the unstable factors at home.

If I get home too late, Arcueid and Lucy might get into a fight, and the house might get torn down.

"Sorry, I've had some things to take care of lately, I need to go home and rest," the boy said. "Next time, next time for sure."

"Ah."

The three of them stood at the door and talked for a long time. It wasn't until Li Wei felt it was really time to leave that the two sides reluctantly parted ways.

……

"The teachers are still single," the boy thought to himself after leaving the kindergarten.

For some reason, almost all the female teachers he had encountered since childhood, including Hiratsuka-nee, were older women eager to get married and were all single.

Sometimes Li Wei wondered if he had some special aura that distorted girls' aesthetics, making it impossible for them to find boyfriends.

"What's wrong? Why are you smiling so strangely?"

Looking at Li Wei's smiling face, the woman with short, black hair and a flat chest, who had happened to run into him on the way and hopped on his motorcycle, frowned and said this. Influenced by Hiratsuka-nee, he had also chosen a motorcycle as his mode of transportation, and like her, he wasn't playing the version of the Great Compassion Mantra.

Yukino Yukinoshita is this guy's name. I've known him since the third grade of elementary school, and we're practically acquaintances now.

However, after entering high school, their relationship was not as good as before, and Li Wei always felt that she was looking at him with prejudice.

"I thought of something happy." The boy dodged the question and changed the subject: "I heard from Hiratsuka-nee that you've been running a club called the Service Club recently. What's it for?"

The name always makes people think in a bad way when they first hear it, wondering if it's the kind of club or department that harbors filth and corruption.

It's understandable that the boy was overthinking things. When he first entered high school, he personally dug out an organization called "Shell Girl" from the school, rescued a girl named Kuchiki Touko, and cured her physical problems.

It was precisely because of this that the White Emperor Academy board of directors did not raise any objection to allocating a prayer room specifically for Mary to live in.

"The Service Club is a club established based on my desire to help everyone." Yukino Yukinoshita said to Levi with a serious expression, "There are all kinds of people in this world, and they will encounter all kinds of difficulties. But if possible, I want everyone to be happy."

The Service Department is a place that provides free assistance to those in need.

I will accept any requests from my classmates and complete them.

I understand. It sounds similar to the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) that Director Sakata ran before his bankruptcy, except it was the free kind.

Have you received any requests recently?

"There are some, and most of them are related to romance."

As she said this, Yukino's tone was full of negative emotions: "These requests are all so boring, buzzing around like flies and so annoying. It's a real shame that I can't use insecticide on them. I just want to banish this world or shatter reality."

"Yukino, have you entered your chuunibyou phase too? It's a bit late, but it's still within the realm of possibility." Li Wei kindly reminded her, "I have a fellow patient here named Takanashi Rikka. Do you need my contact information to discuss our conditions?"

But Takanashi's acting is chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), so what's Yukino's? Is it high school syndrome?

"I'm not a chuunibyou!"

If we were to elaborate on the history of the Service Department since its establishment, it would basically be as follows:

Li Wei is so handsome! Yukinoshita, do you have his contact information?

Li Wei is so cute! There haven't been any new photos of Tohsaka since she graduated. Yukinoshita, could you take some for me and post them on the forum for everyone's benefit?

Yukinoshita, do you know how to win over Li Wei? If you can help me, our child can be your godmother, and you can even name them!

"……what?"

Yukino's words left Li Wei speechless for a moment.

Should we reprimand them for going too far? Or should we express some sympathy for Yukinoshita? Neither seems quite right.

"In other words, 90% of the consultations I've received during this period are about relationships, and 90% of those relationships are related to you." She said, "Some are naive and simply want my help; some are asserting their ownership and asking me to let go—I've already told you I'm interested in that man, so you absolutely can't make a move; and some are just infatuated and actually want me to be a paparazzi and take photos."

This has become even more frequent, especially after some people found out that we knew each other before.

"You've had it pretty tough too," Li Wei said with genuine emotion.

"You know that's good. You're always causing me trouble. Sometimes I even have the urge to kill you." Yukino sighed. "By the way, don't you have any worries? If you do, you can talk to me about them."

"As someone who confides in others, your rating isn't very high," Li Wei thought for a moment and decided to say it anyway.

"Recently, I had a very tense argument with Touma—the one with long, straight black hair who is similar to you, but with bigger breasts—really bigger than you, and glaring at me doesn't work—"

Then on my way home, I picked up another blond idiot, and he had a really bad relationship with Lucy—you know, my pet cat.

Finally, I took Maria—that little ten-year-old nun, the girl with breasts about your size—that's the truth—back to the kindergarten and we ran into two female teachers..."

"Alright, stop now." Yukinoshita interrupted the boy, leaving Li Wei somewhat unsatisfied.

Under the calm, unassuming snow, she said, "I've changed my mind. You'd better hurry up and die."

PS: Based on the replies to the thread about Prince of Tennis, I took a look and found that the tennis technique of hitting a black hole has indeed been cracked. The solution is to hit antimatter—is this really a tennis ball? Even the Trisolarans would have to offer it a cigarette.

I'm getting more and more curious about what level Echizen Nanjiro, the top player in Prince of Tennis, is at. Even if his ability is to travel to the real world and beat up Takeshi Konomi, or draw whatever he's told to draw, I wouldn't be surprised.

Chapter 14 Touma Kazusa is trying her best to endure.
