Chapter 22 Chapter 22 That's not unpredictable, that's a madman's trick...

twenty two

Dazai Osamu couldn't help laughing and patted Li Xiaoqi on the head.

"Were you scared by the last experience of opening the anchor point? Actually, Xiao Qi still remembers it, but is reluctant to take the next step."

Li Xiaoqi hung his head and sighed.

"Hmm... I feel like I need to replenish my energy and take a break. We almost died last time. We were almost skewered... If I hadn't summoned Mr. Zhongli, we wouldn't be standing here now."

She talked on and on, and Dazai listened quietly.

He could see that Li Xiaoqi was not running away because of a psychological trauma, but because he was experiencing a moment so close to death for the first time and needed to vent. It was also to prepare for the next resurrection after death at an unknown time.

Because the system did not urge him, there was no time limit for opening the second anchor point, and even the live broadcast was not started, so Li Xiaoqi was blatantly lazy.

In the past, Li Xiaoqi’s way of healing himself was to prepare delicious food and drinks, watch a favorite drama or Japanese anime, play games, and empty his mind, so that he would be full of energy the next day.

Here, Li Xiaoqi felt that he might die suddenly at any time in the future, so the more ingredients he collected from Teyvat, the more blood-restoring or resuscitation food he could make. The more secure his life would be, and the more hope he would have of returning to his own world alive.

Li Xiaoqi looked apologetic and whispered, "I'm sorry... Being a partner with someone like me who is mentally weak and has no self-protection ability must be a drag."

Dazai Osamu shook his head and said, "I think Xiaoqi has a strong mentality. If it weren't for Xiaoqi's decisive decision to use 1600 gold coins for a special summon at the critical moment, we wouldn't have made it out of the villa alive."

"Haha, life is a big gamble, but I won the gamble at that time."

Li Xiaoqi's eyes were dull and his voice was weak.

"This alone makes me outstanding compared to many ordinary people."

Dazai Osamu curled the corners of his lips and reached out to pat Li Xiaoqi's head again to smooth his hair, almost writing the words "feels good" on his face.

A ray of light appeared in Li Xiaoqi's dejected eyes, and he asked back, seeking confirmation: "Really?"

Dazai Osamu chuckled and nodded.

"Really... Look, aren't these three days of collecting food in Teyvat also preparations for future crises? I personally recommend stocking up on health-restoring and resuscitation-enhancing foods before heading to the next anchor point. Who knows what we might encounter there?"

The compliments brought back a smile to Li Xiaoqi's face. She clenched her fists, seeming to be full of motivation at that moment.

"Well, let's use the ingredients in our backpacks to cook some resuscitation food tonight! For example, wild mushroom chicken skewers, Teyvat fried eggs, sweet flower-stuffed chicken, etc..."

Dazai Osamu nodded and widened the smile on his lips.

"Well, it's time to get ready, and then we'll head to the next anchor point tomorrow to take a look."

At noon, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu were scolded by Mr. Ino again for absenteeism. They put on the cafeteria staff uniforms, wrapped their hair with sanitary caps, and covered their faces tightly with white masks, and began to serve meals for the students in school.

The lunch that day was a set meal with fried pork cutlet, fish and tempura.

Li Xiaoqi looked at the prepared lunch and let out a sigh.

Man is iron and food is steel. These young sorcerers eat the meals she prepares for them every day, and they can't help but feel proud.

"The live broadcast has begun. Both anchors, please get ready and control your facial expressions."

Li Xiaoqi's face froze, but he quickly calmed down.

It doesn’t matter, the live broadcast is almost about to start.

"Excuse me, please give me a tonkatsu set meal."

Nanami Kento appeared at the window and looked at the fried pork cutlet on the plate.

"I want one too!"

Haibara Yu raised his hand and shouted with great energy.

The number of people in the live broadcast room gradually increased, and barrages of comments began to float by, many of whom were viewers who had watched the show before.

"Everyone—listen to me, there's a wild boar on the playground!"

Gojo Satoru ran in and shouted excitedly, "Let's go catch it--"

"Attention, attention! A wild boar has appeared in the playground. It will take 120 seconds."

In an instant, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu's eyes flashed with gold. They dropped the bowls and spoons in their hands and rushed out the door quickly.

Mr. Ino, who was watching them closely in the kitchen, fearing that they would be absent from work again, quickly opened the door and followed them.

Mr. Ino from the cafeteria is very angry, very angry, because the two new cafeteria employees often disappear.

Although the two people came back and apologized nicely after disappearing, and even gave him his favorite honeydew melon, isn't this just a private transaction between employees and superiors?

At that time, Mr. Ino picked up a piece of freshly cut honeydew melon and hummed, "It's quite sweet."

Although he complained many times to Minister Inoue, Minister Inoue always smiled and didn't take it to heart. Mr. Ino didn't know why, but he didn't understand why. Every time he talked about those two people in front of the minister, the minister always looked daydreaming.

He didn't believe that he couldn't punish those two people.

"Hey—you two bastards, don't think you can do whatever you want just because Minister Inoue favors you. Come back here!"

In the cafeteria, Nanami Kento looked at the empty scene at the window and withdrew his hand that was frozen in mid-air.

"Nana, Miss Nana and Mr. Dazai's actions are really unpredictable."

Huiyuan Xiong scratched his hair and sighed, "Last time I saw them picking mushrooms in the grove of the school, and they were laughing strangely."

Nanami Kento raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth, saying, "Haibara, that's not unpredictable, that's a madman neglecting his duty."

"At least give me my set meal, you bastard."

Geto Suguru and Ieiri Nozomi walked in side by side, and when they saw the sly smile on Gojo Satoru's face, they suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Satoru, I just saw Mr. Dazai and Ms. Nana running out in a hurry. I wonder..."

Before Ieiri Naoko could finish her words, her hand was grabbed and her body ran forward uncontrollably.

Also being dragged away was Geto Suguru. He looked at Gojo Satoru's back and twitched his lips. He said, "Satoru, you're not going to—"

"Yes! Let's go catch wild boars together!"

The moment Gojo Satoru pulled Geto Suguru and Ieiri Nozomi out of the cafeteria door, he shouted excitedly.

"thump--"

Mr. Ino fell headfirst in front of him.

Gojo Satoru stopped and Geto Suguru and Ieiri Shoko bumped into his back.

So all of a sudden, Gojo Satoru lost his balance and subconsciously grabbed Geto Suguru. Geto Suguru turned around and grabbed his family member Nozomi, and the three of them fell directly on Mr. Ino.

“Crack.”

There seemed to be a sound of something breaking.

Suddenly, Mr. Ino's face turned pale, his eyes turned white, and a hoarse sound came from his throat.

“Help, help…”

Li Xiaoqi heard the noise, looked back, and shouted: "Mr. Ino, are you okay? We're going to catch wild boars and will be back soon! As always, I'll buy some fruit for you, Mr. Ino!"

After saying that, she and Dazai Osamu disappeared from everyone's sight.

Geto Suguru quickly pulled up Ieiri Nozomi and Gojo Satoru, and then quickly helped Mr. Ino up.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ino screamed in pain and his whole body trembled with pain as his hands rested on his calves.

Xia Yujie frowned slightly and sighed: "It seems that it is broken."

Seeing this, Gojo Satoru said helplessly, "Mr. Ino, it's understandable that the two of them acted like that. They often ask us out to buy honeydew melons as a gift to you. You shouldn't always be bothered about their absences. Director Inoue didn't say anything, did he?... They're old, so don't get so excited."

After saying that, he patted Mr. Ino's shoulders twice.

Mr. Ino suppressed his pain and snorted indignantly.

"Okay, stop making sarcastic remarks."

Ieiri Shoko pulled Gojo Satoru apart and healed Mr. Ino with a reversal technique.

"Mr. Ino, please go back. The cafeteria needs help now."

Mr. Ino stood up with a look of reluctance on his face. "I'm on vacation starting tomorrow. Whoever wants to run the cafeteria is free to do so!"

In the end, he left cursing.

Gojo Satoru excitedly pulled Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri toward the playground. "I remember Miss Nana said those animals and plants only appear for two minutes. We have to hurry."

Xia Yujie was surprised: "Miss Nana also told you?"

Gojo Satoru raised the corners of his lips and shook his head, saying, "Last time when they were taking bird eggs, the tree was a bit high, and Miss Nana had a hard time climbing it, so I went over to help. Miss Nana was so happy at the time, she thanked me several times, and Mr. Dazai seemed to climb trees often, his movements were quite smooth."

He gave a thumbs-up and stuck out his tongue like a cat.

Geto Suguru was silent for a second, then looked ahead and said calmly, "Oh—I see. I told Satoru about this as well."

Gojo Satoru: "?"

Ieiri Shoko blinked, suddenly understood something, and looked at Geto Suguru with ill intentions.

Geto Suguru felt a chill on his back, turned around to meet Nozomi's gaze and immediately denied it.

"Glass, it's not what you think."

Gojo Satoru opened his eyes wide, and a light flashed in his mind, "I see, Jie, you like the older man..."

Xia Youjie raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "I already said it's not true!"

In front, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu continued to rush towards the school playground.

The barrage was filled with shouts for Mr. Ino.

【Mr. Ino——】

[It looks like this happened more than once or twice hahahahaha, Mr. Ino is so pitiful]

[Today's livestream is titled "As always, we're on campus collecting food." Looks like you've been doing a lot, right, Qiqi?]

What happened to Qiqi's wife from being reserved at the beginning to being free and relaxed now? (dog head)

Dazai Osamu teased, "Xiao Qi, look, someone is calling you wife~"

Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched and he looked at the barrage, and there happened to be a few barrages containing Dazai Osamu's husband passing by.

[Qiqi is yours, then Zai is mine, my dear husband~]

So, Li Xiaoqi imitated Dazai Osamu's tone and said, "Mr. Dazai, look, someone is calling you husband and kissing you~"

Dazai Osamu blew a kiss towards the live broadcast screen and blinked his left eye. "Thank you for your love, everyone. You are all my wife——"

As he said this, he laughed triumphantly and said as he ran, "Everyone, let's commit suicide together!"

Li Xiaoqi rolled his eyes and clapped his hands.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. This is the version of Butei Zai who has taken over the body of the leader Zai. The photo is 10,000 yen each—"

“It’s so expensive.”

"That's 5 yen."

“It’s too cheap…”
