After that, Maho took a leave of absence from his professor and returned to Neon.
At LAB, Kiriko and others began secretly developing a time jumping machine.
Kiriko: "I think it's the fault of the microwave itself. Since it was picked up and thrown away as a large piece of garbage, there may be a short circuit somewhere."
"I picked you up?" Maho said.
"What we are building is a great invention that can be named. Why would you use large pieces of garbage as components?"
"Microwave ovens are too expensive."
"It's unbelievable."
"You can use my credit card, no matter what, I'll get it done quickly."
Although Mahon also has too much savings, he can't manage that much.
"That will be of great help." Tongzi said.
Maho wiped his face covered in sweat and soot with a towel. The pure white towel immediately turned black.
"I really can't stand it anymore. Turn on the air conditioner."
"There's nothing we can do about it. If we work with the No. 2 telephone oven, the switch will trip, and the electricity bill is too much. Didn't we say it can only be used for one hour a day?" Tongzi said.
What a harsh environment. Was it in this environment that Chris built the time machine? When he thought of this, Maho was in awe of Chris.
"I know." Maho said.
"please."
"I'm sad, I'm already on secondment to practice games."
The day Maho arrived, he heard from Reiha that he seemed to have made the date a complete failure.
In fact, from then on, Tongzi became much more honest than usual.
Mayu's famous saying is that Kiriko doesn't play games, which is a very thirsty thing.
Too lazy to mess around with Kiriko, Maho also started talking about serious matters.
Today is the breath. In fact, Maho is secretly looking forward to today. Maho, who has been living outside, is somewhat interested in the elegant culture of neon summer.
Especially the breath, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and the tradition of writing wishes on bamboo leaves left a particularly deep impression on me.
This is a rare opportunity, and Zhenfa also wants to try to express his wish, because he hates being treated like a child, so he doesn't want to say it out loud.
However, girls like Mayu and Phyllis seem to like this type of activities. Maybe they will come back and invite themselves. Mayo is looking forward to it.
So on this hot afternoon, thinking about the situation of LAB and Tongzi, it makes my heartache.
"ha."
Thinking about these things.
Suddenly Tongzi's cry came.
"What, what are you going to do?" Maho said.
"That's not what we're talking about now. Zhenyu called just now and Lin Xiao is coming soon."
Upon hearing this, Maho screamed in panic.
Lin Xiao has basically not been to LAB recently. In fact, although he was sent to Neon on the day he arrived, he was never seen again after that.
That’s why I can enter and exit LAB with peace of mind.
"Although the No. 2 telephone oven has been hidden, please be careful not to expose our affairs."
"Well, I understand."
"It's not so bad now."
"If you don't go back to Felice's apartment, it's because I wasn't originally here."
Yes, this is how Lin Xiao explained the reason for coming to Neon. If he was exposed to the development of a phone oven, things would be in trouble.
"That's it."
"Then, come out quickly."
"Where you are, I can't get out."
"makes sense."
After confirming that Kiriko had left, Maho hurriedly changed his clothes.
There was the sound of the door opening coming from the entrance.
"Hey, Kiriko."
Are you here already? Maho hid in an instant, but he was stunned when he looked at himself, and his clothes were scattered outside the door.
There was no way to get the clothes without being noticed by Lin Xiao.
In this case, just stay in such a defenseless state, hide and endure.
But like this, I can't calm down at all.
...
This side.
Entering LAB, Tongzi brought a somewhat flustered Mo Yang.
"Ah, it's difficult for Lin Xiao to come here alone."
The room had a burning smell for some reason.
I don't know why it smells like soap, maybe it's Lingyu.
"What are you doing? It's all dark." Lin Xiao said.
"Which one is this?" Tongzi said.
"I picked up an abandoned microwave oven before, right? I was just about to heat up some fast food, and it exploded."
"Is everything okay?"
"The landlord got angry."
"Don't let him keep an eye on you, or you'll be in trouble when you get kicked out."
"In that case, if you are fine, Lingyu will have no place to cut."
"Yes."
"Then why are you here today? Mayu isn't here?" Tongzi said.
"I have something to tell you. It's good news."
"I reject."
"I haven't said it yet."
"Because most of your news is bad."
"Listen to me, I had dinner with the professor yesterday, and then we talked about studying abroad."
"It's that one again." Tongzi said.
Lin Xiao is now in regular contact with the professor. Of course, the professor also knows about Maho's arrival.
Yesterday I saw Maho's photos, and she still had a rigid expression on her face while trying on clothes.
Therefore, the professor sincerely invites him to discuss in detail about going to Victor University.
Of course, the minimum requirement is also proposed, which is to pass the study abroad test after graduation.
"Because the opportunity was rare, I told the professor about Tongzi, and he was also very interested."
"I?"
"Victor University has a place like the Institute of Intelligence, where top hackers gather. With your level, you can definitely do it."
I've invited you before, but he wasn't interested at all.
Maybe you don’t want to leave Akihabara and don’t go anywhere where you can’t buy games and figurines.
Always say this.
"Because I am a super hacker, I can get in."
"Anyway, how about meeting the professor first so that we can become familiar with each other."
"It's very busy now."
"You can squeeze some time out of the day."
"CM I'm still participating."
"It's not like there's only one month left."
"Anyway, not for now."
"They're really all trying to stop me from going. I don't want to go."
Lin Xiao sighed and did his best. The room was still the same, and the air was stuffy.
Although there is air conditioning, there is no way to use it.
"Tongzi, is there anything to eat?"
"I don't know, Mayu may have bought some." She stood up and opened the refrigerator. There were ordinary clay and mineral water, but there was nothing that she wanted to drink.
There is a lot of roast chicken, maybe Ling Yu’s share is included, he knows a lot about it.
"Bring you a bottle of sports drinks."
I took a bottle of a newly released sports drink and drank it in one gulp.
Suddenly I saw five bananas on the shelf next to the refrigerator that was used to store Dian Xiyou. They must be Zhenyu's.
But even so, the amount of various foods is not too much.
Although originally it was okay for people to eat it no matter how they tasted it, in the end it probably tasted so bad that it was inedible.
"That guy Mayu, he bought too much from the intersection."
"Those are not Zhenyu, they are me."
''ah."
Tongzi suddenly closed her mouth, and when she looked over, he obviously looked away.
What happened was so strange just now. Is this guy hiding something?
"Did you buy it? When did you like it so much?"
"You see, Ling Yu said it is very good for losing weight, so you should eat it every day."
It seems it was popular before."
There has been a stupid incident where someone said bananas can help you lose weight, and then the next day there wasn’t a single banana left on the supermarket shelf.
Since I am a fruit and vegetable store, I also bought a lot of bananas. However, after the popularity has passed, there are only a lot of bananas left.
''Then don't buy so much.
I got one from above and skinned it.
"Anyway, you have to plan."
Yes." Tongzi said.
Then, Lin Xiao threw the banana peel into the trash can.
I saw a strange thing. There were a lot of banana peels in the trash can.
Don't submerge half of it, and not only the skin, but also half of it is half rotten.
I have seen this scene of trash cans before.
Yes, a year ago, I was doing continuous experiments here, and I just saw that the things in the refrigerator were revived.
That extraordinarily huge amount.
"Could it be."
Lin Xiao ignored the filth and put his hand into the trash can.
Although Tongzi started to panic when he saw it, Lin Xiao ignored him.
As expected, a large number of chicken nuggets were found under the remains of the bananas. No matter how much Mayu liked it, she would not eat this every day.
I went deeper into the trash can and found something I didn't want to see there.
"Tongzi?" Lin Xiao said.
"Um?"
"The combination of bananas and chicken nuggets is very nostalgic. We did the same thing about a year ago. Mayu was very angry because it was wasteful and we couldn't be so rough."
"is it"
"So I had no choice but to use bananas that had been processed in the microwave. It tasted really bad," Lin Xiao said.
"However, I still can't eat this thing. What I pulled out of the trash can turned into a green banana."
What was originally a banana, once became a burnt banana.
"What a tragedy." Tongzi looked regretful, but her attitude immediately changed.
"Too bad, I was exposed so easily. I thought I could hide it."
"In fact, if I have a clue, I will have a good talk with you about this matter, frankly."
Tongzi threw the towel over.
Just like what Tongzi used, this white strip is already very dark, there is no other way, this is what it is used for.
Tongzi entered the development room and took off the cover.
"This is unit number two."
What quickly appeared on the table was Future J Machine No. 8, which was built a year ago and was continuously improved and quickly disintegrated.
"The name doesn't matter anymore."
"Really? It doesn't sound like what you said. No matter which future it is, it will be decided at the meeting."
"This is black history."
Tongzi turned to the once futuristic machine that was piled with dust on the head frame inside, and her eyes wandered over it.
What, this attitude just wants to say that what happened at that time was a night of precious youth?
Don't be kidding, that's very dangerous.
"Have you forgotten what I said?" Lin Xiao said.
"This is dangerous and not something we can hold."
"Yeah, but I have to build a time machine in the future. In this case, researching this thing is indeed the first step."
"Tongzi!"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but shouted and asked.
"I've said it several times!"
"What happened to me because of this thing? What did I go through because of this thing?"
"Because by creating this thing, Mayu would be killed, because by creating this thing, Chris died, and because by creating this thing, your daughter jumped back in time and committed suicide in the end.
Are you a fool who won’t shed tears until he sees the coffin?”
"You are the one who is stupid, Lin Xiao." Suddenly, an angry female voice came from behind.
What I saw when I turned around was Maho.
"Maho, what kind of dress is this? Why are you here?"
"Well, I can't bear it any longer. Stop staring at me. I'll sue you."
"It's how you dress up."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to get dressed now."
Maho got dressed and came out after a while.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Maho said.
"Have you been waiting for me since I came here?"
"It doesn't matter what happens to me."
"The photos sent to the professor were also specially forged?"
But I was completely deceived. The degree of completion must have been processed by Kiriko's hands, and Maho studied it together.
"In other words, the purpose of your coming back."
''Ah. Yes.
Maho said: I came here for this insensitive thing like a telephone oven."
"I should have said that by changing what happened in the past, are you going to start repeating it again?"
"wrong."
"What's wrong? If you send it, the world will return to World A again, and Mayu will die. No matter how many times you save it, you will always die."
Then a very scary scene happened, Lin Xiao stared at Zhenfan.
The suitcase-shaped Maho doesn't want to talk about her doing this kind of thing.
But once again, he placed the forbidden time machine in front of him, and the moment of death flashed through his mind.
Finally said the unspeakable words.
"Do you want the world line to return to World A?"
"Are you looking forward to a world where Chris is alive and really dead?" Lin Xiao said.
"You bastard." Tongzi punched Lin Xiao.
There was a shock on his face, and he fell to the ground when he realized it. He didn't understand it for a moment.
Got beaten?
By Kiriko?
This is the first time this has happened in five years of knowing each other.
"Apologise, apologize to Maho immediately."
"Wait, stop, Mr. Kiriko."
"I can imagine how painful you are, Lin Xiao."
Kiriko: "So I won't give you any cheap sympathy, but you're just being coquettish as a second-level fruit. Maho, Reiha, and Mayu, everyone will work hard for you."
"That's enough, please stop." Maho grabbed Tongzi's body and stopped him.
"You won't understand until you let this guy go and beat him up a few times."
"That's enough, calm down."
Really "I will explain the next instructions. You go and wash your face first."
Tongzi finally returned to her original state.
"knew."
The oven was fussing, with an inappropriate expression.
Kiriko was not the kind of person who was good at dull atmosphere, but she didn't even do this and left.
"Really." Mafan lowered his head and looked at Lin Xiao.
"It's all because you said something strange."
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I definitely didn't mean what I felt just now."
"I know, you are not that kind of person." Maho said; "Can you stand up?"
He held Maho's outstretched hand, stood up slowly, and received a punch without warning.
"That punch just now was very powerful. It was also very powerful when I criticized a gentle guy and got angry."
"Yes, and it's not for myself but for other people. It feels great and a little surprising."
