Chapter 365 - 365: A Bangboo Limbs Seem Unable to Perform Certain Movements

Back at the Public Security office, Zhu Yuan tried several methods, but none of them could wake Qingyi.

Seeing this, Wise stepped forward and pressed a few points on her body.

Instantly, Qingyi's body trembled slightly before her eyes suddenly opened.

"Hmm~ Hm? Why are you all staring at me like that? What happened?" she asked in a cute, confused tone.

"Senior... are you alright? Are your consciousness and memory okay?" Zhu Yuan asked with concern.

Although there were no signs of disassembly, Qingyi had been in Grace's hands for quite some time.

Who knew whether she had messed with her programming?

"Isn't this Wise, Zhu Yuan, and Miyabi? What's wrong?"

"Phew... It seems like there's nothing seriously wrong."

Zhu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Qingyi crossed her arms and looked completely relaxed.

"Not just that, but I feel light as a feather! All my joints are smooth and nimble. Great work with the blade as always, Miss Miyabi!"

"You're too kind. In fact, Wise's swordsmanship is no worse than mine," Miyabi said confidently.

"I know that. I was looking for him at first too."

Qingyi nodded in agreement. In particular, Wise's blade was also very sharp, but it seemed to have some strange effects.

The last time she experienced it, she had felt her body soften and...

Anyway, the reason for this dramatic turn of events was that Qingyi, taking advantage of her vacation, wanted to upgrade her body components. It was said that the new Porcelume parts were quite good.

However, Qingyi always felt they didn't quite match her original model design, as if they were a few micrometers too tall. Not only did that make her uncomfortable, but it also felt wrong whenever Wise touched her.

"Alright, I have two master swordsmen here to make some fine adjustments. Otherwise, I'll probably be bothered by this until the next maintenance."

"So that's what it is... Next time, let me buy the parts! Don't use such dubious products!" Zhu Yuan scolded, looking very much like a worried mother.

"...But the recent discount on the Porcelume components at that store was really tempting. I was only trying to further optimize the team's equipment performance. Wise, you understand me, right?"

Faced with Zhu Yuan's nagging, Qingyi immediately chose to act cute and spoiled toward Wise beside her.

"Ahem. Although your reasoning is valid, you still can't install pirated parts," he said, furrowing his brows in disapproval.

"Alright, if even you say so, I'll comply next time."

Qingyi looked slightly disappointed. Seeing that she was fine, Miyabi prepared to leave. However, she seemed to have forgotten something before doing so.

Meanwhile, Wise didn't forget to ask Qingyi about technical accessories for Eous. She gave him several recommendations and even presented him with some Porcelume materials she had purchased from Waifei Heights.

Thus, the matter was finally resolved.

"By the way, Wise, do you have any plans for New Year?"

"Hm?"

"Well... my parents want me to bring you over for a reunion dinner, so I wanted to ask you..."

Wise's expression instantly became awkward as he wondered why he so often found himself in situations like this.

Then again, considering his current circumstances, it would be strange if he didn't.

"Okay, I certainly have no problem with that, but on that day, you might need to cover for me," he said.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuan asked, confused.

"You'll find out then. Oh, and Qingyi, are you going to Zhu Yuan's house too?"

<<>>

After leaving Public Security, Wise received another message from Miyabi. Apparently, she had remembered what she originally wanted to say only after returning home.

| (My-Cute-Dazed-Fox) Miyabi: Are you coming to my house on New Year? My father welcomes you very much. You can bring Belle along, and for convenience, Yanagi will also bring Soukaku to my house. |

Seeing this, Wise immediately agreed, though he hadn't expected Yanagi to choose Miyabi's house.

Was that her idea as well?

At the same time, in Section 6...

"Chief Miyabi, what did he say?"

Yanagi and Soukaku approached Miyabi, who was holding her phone. After reading the message, her ears twitched slightly before she nodded.

"He agreed."

"Yay!" Soukaku jumped happily.

"Phew... That's great..." Yanagi breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Wise had expected, this plan had been her idea. Ever since she learned that Wise had so many girls around him, she had begun to feel a sense of crisis.

At this point, trying to gain an advantage alone was probably no longer enough.

The best solution was to ally with Miyabi.

Now it was confirmed that Wise already had three commitments for New Year, and more would certainly be added later.

Putting that aside, the next day, after Eous won the previous match in the Bangboo Beauty Competition, it was soon time for the group stage of Ridu's Got Boo, where Wise met Astra again.

However, a small accident occurred during this period.

"Little one, don't rush. Tell me what's wrong."

"Waaah, I want Daddy! I want Mommy!"

In front of Wise stood a little girl who had apparently been separated from her parents in the large crowd.

He had originally planned to meet up with Belle and Astra after checking the group stage situation, but he unexpectedly encountered this incident on the way.

Naturally, he couldn't simply ignore it.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I'll help you find your dad and mom, okay?"

His comfort seemed to work.

His comfort seemed to work. The little girl slowly lowered her hands from her eyes, glanced up at him, and stopped crying. Then she obediently took Wise's outstretched hand.

Seeing this, Wise took out his phone and sent a message to Belle.

Coincidentally, the little girl's hair was also gray, though a darker shade.

Meanwhile, Belle received the message. Though confused, she still informed Astra and Evelyn about the situation.

"Huh? Something suddenly came up? What is it? Is he in trouble? Do we need to help?"

Astra's barrage of questions made Belle quickly wave her hands, indicating that she didn't know either.

"Even you don't know? What exactly is it? I'm so curious..."

Just as Astra was wondering about it, her peripheral vision caught sight of Wise.

<<>>

Meanwhile, another familiar group appeared nearby.

"Actually, isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

Following Seth's worried words came Qingyi's proactive suggestion.

"If Agent Gulliver has concerns, it's not impossible for me to do it."

"Enh-ne, Na-nhu. (It's just work. I have no problem.)"

Agent Gulliver said this, clearly not opposed to the idea.

"Is that so? Actually, I'm quite interested... I know a thing or two about dancing. Although Bangboo's limbs seem unable to perform certain movements..."

Qingyi looked slightly disappointed by Bangboo's response. It seemed she genuinely wanted to participate.

"Qingyi... what other movements are you trying to do...? It's already enough of a blunder to ask Agent Gulliver to participate in this beauty contest. Please don't expand the scope of that blunder..."

Seth looked at the eager Qingyi with visible exasperation.

In some ways, she was still a playful little girl.

"Why do you say that? Originally, Officer Cui from the bureau was supposed to participate yesterday. Agent Gulliver was only invited by us to help, and that's how he accidentally got involved and stepped in."

Qingyi paused briefly before continuing.

"If I were to borrow Agent Gulliver's body to complete the competition, then at least the consciousness inside the Bangboo would still belong to a Public Security member. Wouldn't that simply be setting things right?"
