"Please come in!" Wayne's voice rang out from inside.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she heard Chris shout angrily, "Wayne! How could you cheat! Don't take it off!"

Then, Karen saw Chris, who was baring her teeth and claws and whose forehead was covered with notes, and Wayne, who looked helpless.

“Young Miss, Young Master Wayne. People from the Baptiste Merchant Guild have come to see you, saying they have extremely important news that they must tell you in person.” Karen said calmly, as if she hadn’t seen the scene before her.

Miss Chris's studies, though always starting under the guise of doing homework, often ended up with her playing games.

She's used to it.

Wayne and Chris exchanged a glance and quickly got up to tidy up the mess on the table.

Chris straightened her skirt, sat down in the main seat, and said solemnly, "Please invite him directly to the study."

"Ok."

A short while later, Benjamin followed Karen into the study.

Karen poured him a cup of tea, then gently closed the door without staying.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Benjamin immediately stood up excitedly, "Miss Chris, Master Wayne, my father asked me to inform you that the fabric you needed before can be mass-produced!"

Chris: !!!

Wayne: ? ? ?

“Wait, didn’t they say those plants had withered and wouldn’t bear fruit?” Chris asked in surprise.

“That’s how it was originally,” Benjamin said. “But, in my grandmother’s hometown, for some reason, the entire grove of trees suddenly started bearing fruit again overnight! My father had been keeping an eye on them, and when he heard the news, he immediately spent a lot of money to buy a large quantity of fruit.”

"Suddenly withered and died, then suddenly bore fruit... Is it really that casual?" Chris didn't know what to say.

Wayne frowned deeply: "Are there any unusual phenomena occurring in the area?"

Benjamin was taken aback.

"It seems that some people say they have seen a beam of golden light pierce through the heavens and the earth."

Wayne stroked his chin and paced back and forth.

Previously, Xiaobai confidently stated that it was a curse that could only be resolved by either "magic from a higher plane" or by light magic.

Surely there aren't really any wild magical girls lost in this world?

That leaves only the possibility of light magic.

Could it be the original female lead?

In the anime, she is the only person with light magic, and she is also a commoner.

"Whatever the reason, we at the Duke of Winchester have already placed the order. How long will it take to make?" Chris asked decisively.

Benjamin said, "A week is enough. The process isn't too complicated; the chemicals are the key."

"That's great!"

Chris laughed and pulled a handful of Grand Pounds from her pocket, slamming them onto the table.

“Money is no problem! Take this as a deposit first, and if it’s not enough, just come to the Duke’s mansion and let us know the amount.”

Thus, this big deal was resolved in an unprecedented speed and with just a few words.

Benjamin left in high spirits, walking with a swagger as he carried the money.

Those fruits are a great opportunity for the Baptiste Merchant Guild to make a name for themselves!

On the other side, Chris was also very happy.

The school fair is a sure thing!

She turned to Wayne in a lighthearted tone and said, "What is this called? This is called: 'Where there's a will, there's a way, and things will work themselves out.'"

But Wayne seemed not to be listening to her, staring blankly out the window, lost in thought.

"Wayne?"

No response.

"Wayne!"

Chris frowned and raised her voice.

Wayne suddenly realized, "Oh, ah... Chris is right!"

He grinned, revealing a formulaic smile that showed eight teeth.

What were you thinking about just now?

Chris was not fooled by his seemingly innocent smile.

Her intuition told her that Wayne was thinking about something important.

“I was thinking that if I had the time sometime, it would be nice if Chris could come with me to visit the area.”

A smile played on his lips as he looked out the window again, as if he were dreaming of the future.

"If I could stroll along a country lane with you and climb a tree to pick fruit together, it would be a very precious memory."

"..." Chris showed a somewhat cheesy expression.

Chapter 55 School Meeting

The annual school fair has begun.

Due to the unique nature of Qingxi Academy's educational operations, each year's executive committee prepares a limited number of special invitations, which are specifically distributed to parents who are very concerned about the school's teaching.

Of course, such special invitations are rare opportunities. These outsiders do not have the right to vote on the program; they are simply participating as guests to help liven up the atmosphere.

The situation is not so obvious in the elementary school section, but once students move up to the main campus, the school will inevitably attract a lot of attention from the outside world.

Students who excel in these activities can become incredibly popular throughout the capital, becoming the absolute focus of attention at any banquet they attend.

The school council isn't just about clubs; each class also organizes its own activities. For example, in Wayne's fifth-grade class B, their base this time is a café.

It was called a coffee shop, but it was really just a classroom that had been slightly decorated, with the words "Class 5-B Coffee Shop" written on the blackboard. Even the coffee beans were sponsored by Miss Archie Edgeworth.

It's ordinary, nothing special among all the ingenious and creative programs.

But this is understandable, since everyone's attention is focused on club activities, and the classroom is just a place for everyone to rest when they are tired of playing.

Wayne held a cup of coffee in his hand, not feeling guilty at all about eating and drinking for free.

He had a small, fluffy, and very cute white dog plush toy pinned to his chest.

This is a redesigned version of Bobby by Chris, with a round belly, looking somewhat fatter than the Bobby in the theatrical performance.

Naturally, it has an image that makes people want to touch it at first glance, full of cuteness.

"Wayne, may I touch this...?"

A girl wearing round glasses asked with a curious look.

Wayne glanced down at it, then took it off. "Here you go."

"Ah, this is too...too..."

The girl's face flushed instantly, her expression filled with shyness.

"It's alright, our craft club made a lot of these, which were originally meant to be given as gifts to the students who come to visit," Wayne said with a smile. "If you feel embarrassed, just bring more friends to watch the craft club's performance later."

"……Um!"

The girl with round glasses carefully picked up the miniature Bobbi plush toy and held it protectively to her heart.

Chris was calling him from outside the corridor.

"Wayne, come out and help!"

"coming."

After responding loudly, he said to the female classmate whose name he still didn't know, "See you later."

He finished the last sip of coffee in the paper cup, and as he walked out of the classroom, he threw the empty cup into the trash can by the door.

Meanwhile, the girl remained standing blankly at his table.

a long time.

"See you later." Her voice was so low that she could barely hear herself.

Outside the classroom, Chris handed Wayne a thin stack of flyers.

“Although the competition between the craft club and the orchestra has already generated a lot of buzz, we still need to promote it to students in other grades before the performance officially begins,” she said. “I’ve put up life-size posters of Bobby at several key intersections in the academy.”

Chris said smugly, "When it comes to propaganda, Gothic could never beat me."

Wayne took the flyer and saw that it was written in large, brightly colored letters:

[A work that transcends centuries!]

[The superhero from the stars—Poppy, here we come!]

A huge shadow of a dog's head and a bear's body filled the entire page.

Next to the eye, a straight line almost breaking through the edge of the paper is used to depict how it is emitting light.

The design is so exaggerated that it clearly exceeds existing aesthetic standards, making it unforgettable.

"Did Chris draw this?" Wayne asked.

He subconsciously flipped it over to look at the back, but the flyer only had a picture on the front, and only the two sentences of text were colored.

"Yes, I worked late into the night every day, and I was exhausted from drawing."

She twisted her neck. "After all that hard work, I only managed to draw a few pictures. If only we had a photocopier."

"You can call me next time. Although I'm not very good at drawing, I can still write a few words or help with outlining."

“Oh well, everyone has their own task.” Chris patted Wayne on the shoulder.

Thanks to the efforts of everyone in the crafts department a few days ago, the giant Bobby's design has been fully completed.

Despite its seemingly wide and stout physique, there are actually cavities in its limbs and head, specifically designed to provide room for Wayne's manipulation.

It is currently displayed at the exhibition site applied for by the Handicraft Department, completely covered by tarpaulins on all sides and above to prevent premature disclosure.

"Because I put a lot of effort into this, I must send it to someone who truly likes Poppy and will take it seriously."

As Chris said this, she pushed Wayne out.

"???"

Wayne stared at her blankly.

Chris said with a determined look, "Now, I have to go and get my other girlfriends to support me, and the arduous task of handing out flyers is yours!"

As she spoke, she raised her five fingers together to her eyebrows and gave Wayne a salute.

Then they ran away in a flash.

"Gan!"

Wayne felt like he'd been tricked.

I felt sorry for her before, but she was sold off so easily?

However, after sighing, he obediently turned around and went downstairs to hand out flyers.

Along the way, I mostly saw groups of friends, two or three at a time, carrying food and gifts they had gotten for free from various exhibition booths, laughing and jumping around excitedly.

Looking at the children, Wayne couldn't help but smile.

That's the fun of campus activities!

"Eh? Who is this brother...?"

A familiar-looking little girl walked past Wayne, then stepped back and stared at him.

Wayne smiled at her in a friendly manner.

"Oh, I remember now! You're Chris's family, right!" The little girl's eyes lit up.

Is Sister Chris there?

As she spoke, she looked around, glancing at her surroundings.
