There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"I dragged Kato over here to make up the numbers. There is strength in numbers!"

An Yi explained.

Li Nian glanced coldly at the laughing An Yi and said to Kato.

"I'm sorry to have involved you, Kato, and to have troubled you."

"No, it's okay." Kato shook his head and said with a smile: "No one has invited me to join any club so far. This is the first time I've been invited suddenly. I feel quite honored. Besides, it seems like it will be very interesting."

"Even if you told me..."

It's obvious that An Yi wants to gather all the people who make games together to form a club - but this is still a work in progress.

"Ah, here we are."

An Yi suddenly called a halt. It seemed that they had arrived at the destination. Li Nian stopped, looked up, and was stunned.

"It's this classroom. Let's go in and wait."

An Yi pointed at the classroom door in front of her, but Li Nian was looking at the sticker on the doorplate of the classroom next door.

I feel a little more than last time I came...

"Next to them is the Service Department..."

Wu Geng obviously still had some impression and exclaimed in surprise.

The club activity room assigned to Aki is next to the service club of Yukinoshita and Hikigaya.

Chapter 182: Chatting about Roles

That's why I felt familiar with this journey along the way, as if I had been here before. Li Nian had been to this service department next to me once before.

"..."

Li Nian thought of what Kato said before, that when Amami went to Mr. Hiratsuka to apply for a club, he was just being naughty at first, until he mentioned Li Nian's name. Then Mr. Hiratsuka seemed to suddenly change his mind, approved Amami's club application, and arranged this activity room for him.

It is indeed possible that it was a coincidence...but Li Nian's intuition reacted again, and he smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Is there any relationship between Hiratsuka-sensei and the Service Club?

Li Nian and Gogen looked at each other and saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes, but their understanding of this club only stopped at the last time they came together to seek evaluation for their respective manuscripts. They knew that the members of the club included Yukinoshita, and Hikigaya and Yuigahama from their class.

"What's wrong? Why are you all standing?" An Yi opened the door with the key and urged Li Nian and others to go in quickly: "Go in and sit down first. Eriri and Kasumigaoka-senpai should be here soon."

Everyone then walked in. Li Nian was the last one. He turned his gaze and looked at the corner of the corridor. He narrowed his eyes slightly, then retracted his gaze, followed them in, and closed the door.

After everyone entered the office, a person slowly walked out from the corner of the corridor that Li Nian had just been looking at, staring at this side with a pair of cloudy dead fish eyes, and his expression seemed very confused.

That's Hikigaya Hachiman.

As a member of the Service Club, he had to participate in club activities after class as usual, and came to the Service Club after school.

He is usually a shy person. Even after being classmates for so long, he still has little interaction with the people in his class. He followed Li Nian and others all the way, quietly hanging behind them, and had no intention of saying hello.

As they walked along, he initially thought that this group of people were going home and would get separated along the way, but he didn't expect that in the end they were all walking the same route, and they even entered a classroom next to the service department that was originally empty.

Hikigaya looked at the door that Li Nian had just closed and thought.

What on earth is going on…

……

……

Li Nian walked into the room and looked around.

It was similar to the service department next door, which he had visited last time. The entire space was the size of a classroom, with almost the same specifications, but it was obvious that An Yi had taken good care of it. There were no tables and chairs placed haphazardly in the back, and there were only two large tables in the middle. Although there was no equipment and it seemed unusually spacious, even empty, it was very clean everywhere. There were snacks, kettles, cups and other items on the tables, and it was obvious that An Yi had made preparations.

"Whether the negotiation can be successful depends entirely on you!"

An Yi placed a stool for Li Nian and brought him tea and water, looking very attentive, hoping that Li Nian would say a few good words for him later.

Li Nian didn't say anything. He just drank his tea silently and looked at the two girls sitting over there.

An Yi also poured tea for them, but Gogen sat very restlessly, holding the teacup in his hand, glancing towards the door from time to time, obviously anxiously awaiting the arrival of Kasumi Shiko.

In comparison, Kato seemed much calmer, chewing on senbei and drinking tea, looking leisurely and contented, as if he was very happy.

Emmm...

How should I put it? With this comparison, I can feel that Kato has a completely different style from other girls...

"Is there something on my face?"

Li Nian couldn't help but stare at Kato for a while longer. She noticed that he thought there was something on his face while he was chewing on the senbei, so he reached out to wipe it off.

"No." Li Nian paused, and asked out of curiosity: "Now that things have come to this, I suddenly want to say it. I feel that you, Kato, are a little different from other girls."

"Eh? Where?"

"How should I put it..." Although it was Li Nian who asked the question, he couldn't find a good adjective for the moment: "Quiet? Easygoing? Gentle? About that?"

Basically, he just picked some nice things to say, but Kato didn't show much joy. Instead, he tilted his head in confusion.

"If that's the case, it should be similar with other girls, right? Everyone feels the same way."

"No, it's because..."

Li Nian rarely knew what to say.

Because the main impression that Kato Megumi gives people is that she is "easy to integrate into the environment and the group." It is reasonable to say that she blends in with the crowd - but this is definitely not accurate.

After all, she is still cute, with regular facial features, a medium height, and delicate skin, with the right curves and the right concavities.

"Um……"

"Student Li Nian?"

"For example, compared to the girls in Miura and Yuigahama's class, Kato, you seem to lack something that a JK should have nowadays."

"What are you talking about~~?"

Wu Geng was listening to them talking and looking at Kato. He had the same feeling as Li Nian. Li Nian seemed unable to grasp the main point, so Wu Geng tried to add a sentence.

"It's about personality."

"Yes, that's it." Li Nian clapped his hands and nodded firmly in agreement: "Kato, your personality is too subtle, so you seem a little, uh... plain?"

Kato thought about it, then nodded slightly.

"...If I had to say so, it seems like this, I am indeed quite inconspicuous."

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

For some reason, An Yi suddenly denied it loudly and fiercely, and made an X with her hands.

When everyone looked over, he pushed up his glasses, letting the lenses reflect a sharp light. Then, with a serious expression, he said solemnly, "Mr. Kato, you really underestimate the attribute of [insignificant]! That should be the kind of person who has a strong inferiority complex about his or her appearance and personality, always exuding a very negative aura, as if he or she is always belittling himself or herself in his or her heart, [I am completely useless.] - Yes, just like Mr. Li Nian before!"

“…I’m sorry, I used to be like that.”

Li Nian's eyebrows jumped down.

"And because of the sharp contrast with his previous appearance!" An Yi seemed to be getting more and more excited as he spoke: "Look at Li Nian now, he exudes a kind of confidence that says 'I am the only one in the world'! Plus this upright and strong body that looks like it has been through rigorous training! And his handsome and handsome facial features that were as sharp as a knife. In contrast to his past, he has become more distinct, hasn't he? This is called a character."

Li Nian was picking his ears.

"Who are you talking about? I don't remember ever seeing such a dazzling person in my life."

"It's just a little bit exaggerated, don't worry about it."

Wu Geng looked Li Nian up and down, as if comparing it with An Yi's statement, and concluded: "It is a little exaggerated to a certain extent..."

Kato also looked at Li Nian, and he seemed to have grasped the key point from An Yi's nonsensical remarks. He nodded at him thoughtfully: "I see, personality and role, I seem to understand... Indeed, I don't have such a distinct role as Li Nian."

"…I say, what kind of character are you looking for in me? I look like an ordinary high school boy you can see anywhere."

After Li Nian said this, the three people looked at him in surprise as if they were a monster.

"I actually don't seem to have any self-awareness?"

"Just saying it as if nothing happened..."

"Rather than saying it as if nothing had happened, it's better to say it shamelessly."

Li Nian's pretended calm expression was a little off. He didn't know why the fire was directed at him. He looked up at the door.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this topic. The two main characters are here."

Chapter 183: The inevitable contradiction and the unexpected rescue

"what?"

The three of them were stunned, and suddenly they heard a clicking sound. As soon as Li Nian finished speaking, the door over there was pushed open.

Everyone looked back and saw Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-san standing outside, one in front of the other. They had both arrived.

"Senior Kasumigaoka, Eriri! You are here, come in and sit down!" An Yi's expression lit up with joy, and he immediately put stools for them and made tea.

"They really came..." Li Nian didn't truly believe what Amaki said until he saw the two people actually appear in front of him and come to the appointment. Similarly, Kasumigaoka and Eriri finally felt relieved when they saw Li Nian already sitting in his seat.

Sawamura, who was standing obediently behind Kasumigaoka, muttered softly, "These two people actually came to find this guy Tomoya?"

"Is this place more lively than I thought?"

Kasumigaoka walked in generously, sat next to Li Nian, and looked at Gogen and Kato while speaking.

"These two are..." An Yi was about to explain when the two extra people, Gogen, stood up suddenly and bowed nervously to Kasumigaoka.

"Hello, Teacher Kasumi Shiko!"

Kasumigaoka smiled and waved gently at her.

"Nice to meet you again, Gogen-san."

"Do you remember my name?"

Maybe because he felt honored and excited that his name was remembered, Wu Geng blushed a little.

Xia Zhiqiu glanced at Li Nian.

"Of course. After all, we are friends who have been through that kind of thing together, right? So there's no need to be so restrained."

"...That's true." Gogen nodded with emotion.

At that time, a spiritual disaster occurred with Li Nian as the center, and they who happened to be around were dragged into it. The experience was too shocking for the people involved.

Li Nian remained calm and pretended that he hadn't heard anything.

"Gogen knows some programming, so I plan to let her work on the framework of the game." Although it seemed that Kasumigaoka and Gogen knew each other, Amaki still explained the rationality of Gogen's appearance in this occasion, and introduced Kato: "This is Kato Megumi, from our club..."

An Yi is a bit stuck here.

"Mascot." Kato answered.

"Don't take it seriously." Li Nian added helplessly: "Kato is... equivalent to a secretary who handles miscellaneous tasks."

"Should I call you senior or teacher?" Kato stared at Kasumigaoka with twinkling eyes.

“…Whatever.”

"Then let me call you teacher." Kato said with a smile: "Nice to meet you, Teacher Kasumi Shiko. I have read your "Love Metronome". It is an excellent and moving work!"

She was not curious about the fact that Kasumigaoka was a third-year senior, but simply expressed respect and admiration for the author, Kasumigaoka Shiko.

Kasumigaoka was a little surprised, and then she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you. It's my pleasure."

"And this is Sawamura Spencer Eriri, a sophomore, who is in charge of the original painting of my club."

"Gogen-san and Kato-san, right? Hello, nice to meet you." Sawamura smiled implicitly - she had been maintaining this expression from the beginning, and now she nodded slightly to everyone.

An Yi muttered: "She's still acting like a big lady..."

"Ryouya-kun? What are you saying? I didn't hear you clearly?" Sawamura looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Nothing, nothing." An Yi shook his head like a rattle.
