"I'm sorry, I don't know how."

Ye Shanming rejected her request with confidence, stretched out his right hand and fiddled with her little head: "But there are tea bags in the drawer. If you want to make some, please make me a cup."

"What a rude man."

Zhenhong took out a cane from somewhere and pushed Ye Shanming's fingers away. She was helpless about his attitude and could only drag her small body and tiptoe to take out the tea bag from the drawer. It took her quite a while to brew the black tea with great effort.

Fortunately, although it was a tea bag, it was quite high-end. Zhenhong pinched the small teacup she took out of her suitcase with one hand, took a sip, and was quite satisfied.

"Shinkuru, who created you?"

Akira Yeshan was also very satisfied with Zhenhong's tea-making skills. It seemed that there was someone in Tokyo who could replace Aura in doing housework. If there was a chance in the future, he could make a few more similar dolls to take care of daily life.

Shinku was unaware of Ye Shanming's evil intentions and answered his questions truthfully:

"My father is the legendary genius puppeteer Luo Zhen. In addition to creating me, he also created five other sisters."

"It's just that Father disappeared after creating the six of us Rozen Maidens. In order to see Father again, the Rozen Maidens started the Alice Game."

"Collect all the Rose Madonnas and become the perfect girl Alice envisioned by my father. This is the purpose of the Alice game."

After hearing what Zhenhong said, Ye Shanming became very interested in this talented puppeteer and couldn't help but ask: "Luo Zhen? I really want to discuss magic with him."

"Then you may be disappointed."

Shinhong took a sip of her tea with difficulty. "Holliye told me that this is no longer the world I used to be in. I was trying to confirm this earlier. Although the N-Field can still be opened normally, Laplace's Demon and the Rabbit Hole are gone."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you probably won't be able to see father again."

Although she said this, there was not much disappointment on her face about not being able to meet her creator, but more of a sense of relief.

"You don't seem very sad, even though you can do something like Alice's game where you kill your sisters."

Zhenhong seemed to feel tired of holding the teacup all the time, so she changed her position:

"I don't like fighting with my sisters, but this situation makes me feel more relaxed."

After getting a general understanding of Zhenhong's situation, Ye Shanming asked to study her body, but was naturally ruthlessly rejected by Zhenhong.

However, he did not force her. Not being able to study Zhenhong's body would at most slow down his progress in analyzing this magic. As an immortal, he had plenty of time and there was no need to force her because of such a thing.

"I'm going to sleep first. You can move around freely, but it's best not to let others see you."

Ye Shanming yawned, lay down in bed, and told Zhenhong:

"Even though I can handle it if someone finds out, it will be very troublesome. I don't really like using magic on innocent people."

"You don't need to tell me about this. As a lady, I know it too."

Zhenhong responded faintly.

After Ye Shanming fell asleep, she flew lightly to his side and looked at his right middle finger curiously. There was nothing there. Logically, after signing a contract with Rozen Maiden, there should be a ring symbolizing the identity of a medium.

However, she could clearly feel the connection between herself and Ye Shanming, and the absence of the ring did not cause any impact. In the end, she gave up exploring, flew back to her suitcase, and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Ye Shanming dressed neatly and went to the restaurant on the first floor to have breakfast. After a while, the girls also arrived one after another.

"Master, you got up so early."

Ji Karen brought her breakfast and sat diagonally opposite Ye Shanming. Ju Se Erica also sat over, leaving only the seat next to him empty.

“I’ve always had a very regular life.”

Akira Hayama responded calmly, thinking about whether to bring some desserts to Shinku. What made him feel strange was that Ji Karen and Oose Erica kept looking at him with inquiring eyes.

"Zhenfei, this way, this way!"

Shijo Zhenfei appeared in the restaurant. Before she could find a seat to sit down, Ji Karen greeted her excitedly and forced her to sit in the empty seat next to Ye Shanming.

As soon as she sat next to Ye Shanming, Shijo Zhenfei couldn't help but think of the embarrassment of yesterday afternoon. She felt a little restless and couldn't help but glance at him twice, and found that Ji Karen was laughing.

"Karen, why do I feel like you're acting weird today?"

"No...no,"

Ji Kailian's smile froze, and she racked her brains to come up with an excuse: "Maybe it's because I was too excited to go out and play."

Chapter 12: Ji Karen's perfect plan.

Ye Shanming looked at her suspiciously. This was the expression on Aura's face every time she tried to do something bad to him but was exposed.

Although he didn't know what Ji Karen planned to do to Shijo Shinki, he still planned to stay away from these two people to avoid getting involved.

After finishing breakfast, he asked the waiter to pack a dessert and black tea to bring to Zhenhong.

The holiday after the midterm exams is only three days, and they will return to Tokyo tomorrow morning, so today is actually the last day of their trip to Hakone.

After relaxing in modern life for more than half a month, Ye Shanming planned to go back to another world tomorrow night and leave Aura alone there. He was indeed a little worried, and the conversation with Shulahat before leaving made him quite concerned.

Shinhong enjoyed her breakfast elegantly. Although she didn't need to eat as a doll, Ye Shanming's behavior made her feel respected and she was very satisfied.

"I'll be out first. If anything happens, you can have your artificial elf Holly come to me. Through the contract, I can sense your exact location."

In response to Ye Shanming's instructions, Zhenhong nodded, indicating that she understood.

Miyanoshita Onsen Street is extremely bustling today. In the morning alone, there are already many stalls on both sides. The entire street is filled with all kinds of small stalls, but they are still in the preparation stage and have not officially opened for business.

"Qiang Qiang!"

Fujiwara Chika changed into a pink yukata, holding a flyer in her hand, with an innocent smile on her face:

"Second installment of our guide Chika's special itinerary! Today is the annual Miyanoshita Onsen Festival, so let's enjoy it!"

Ji Karen, Ouse Erica, and Kashiwagi Nagisa exchanged glances and raised their hands:

"I heard there's a fireworks display tonight at 8:30!"

"Hey, is there really a fireworks display?!"

After hearing what Ji Karen said, the girls became excited. Even the outwardly indifferent Kaguya Shinomiya was a little excited in her heart. She had never watched a fireworks display with so many people before.

"Yes, really."

Ji Karen said firmly that although it was her idea to hold this fireworks display, Erica Ouse contacted the relevant personnel, and Nagisa Kashiwagi provided all the funds, even the locals of Miyanoshita Onsen Town were unaware of it.

As early as last night, after deciding to help Shijo Shinki, she had thought of a complete set of plans. The most touching and heart-revealing one was that the two of them watched the fireworks alone. No matter how troublesome a girl's personality is, she will face her own heart in front of the fireworks display.

In order to carry out the plan smoothly, she had a lot of things to do during the day, so she grabbed the other two accomplices and left the team directly.

"Zhenfei, have fun. We just saw an interesting place, so we'll leave first."

"Wait……"

Shijo Maki only had time to say half of her words before Kallen and the other three had already run away. On the other side, Fujiwara Chika also took Shinomiya Kaguya shopping, and Fujiwara Moe also took Azusa Azusa and Shirogane Kei to follow her sister. In the blink of an eye, only she, Hayama Akira and Hayasaka Ai were left.

Since Kaguya Shinomiya was secretly protected by other people from the Shinomiya family, Hayasaka Ai followed her orders and continued to stay with Akira Hayama.

Being alone with Akira Hayama made Shijo Shinki feel a little uneasy, but fortunately there was Hayasaka Ai, who could help her ease the embarrassment a little.

"Where do we go next?"

She deliberately kept a distance from Ye Shanming and pulled her ponytail. After a night's rest, her feet were able to walk normally, but she couldn't do any strenuous exercise yet.

"Let's go to the Open-Air Museum first,"

Akira Hayama also followed Chika Fujiwara to make some travel plans, and deliberately took care of Shijo Shinki: "The hot spring town is still being prepared, let's come back to the festival tonight."

Meanwhile, Ji Karen told the other two about her battle plan. Erica Kose hesitated.

"Karen, do you really want to do this? It feels a bit hasty."

"It's not a big problem."

Ji Karen was full of confidence: "Anyway, we just need to let Zhenfei and Master go to the observation deck on the top of the shrine mountain to watch the fireworks alone."

"What about Kaguya Shinomiya?"

Kashiwagi Nagisa asked the question unexpectedly, pointing out another key person. They had ways to lure away the others, but Shinomiya Kaguya had a very ordinary relationship with them, so there was nothing they could do.

"Don't worry about that. In fact, Qianhua is also involved in this plan."

Ji Karen's face was full of pride: "Qianhua also wants to help us, so she will take care of Shinomiya Kaguya's side."

"Then let's get started, disband!"

Looking at the backs of Ji Karen and Ouse Erica leaving, Kashiwagi Nagisa took out his mobile phone and a twisted smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

The person who is closest to the real concubine can only be yourself.

The sky gradually darkened and the street lights came on. After eating a little and changing into yukata, everyone left the hotel together and walked into Miyanoshita Onsen Street, which had become the center of the festival.

Ji Karen secretly sent a look to the other accomplices, and the others understood and began to act, first eliminating the interference of people.

"Scumbag Senior..."

Azusa Azusa, wearing a light green yukata, walked to Akira Hayama a little shyly. She took a deep breath and was about to invite him to join her at the festival when she was suddenly pulled away by Moe Fujiwara who appeared next to her.

"Sister Xiaodouzi, there's a mask stall up ahead, let's go take a look!"

Azusa Azusa originally wanted to refuse, but after this interruption, the courage she had just mustered disappeared completely, and she was dragged away by Fujiwara Moeha.

Holding Shirogane Kei in one hand and Azusa Azusa in the other, Fujiwara no Moe was deeply moved by her own noble behavior.

My elder brother treated me so badly, but I still tried my best to help him. You are so great, Mengye!

Seeing that her sister had already started to act, Fujiwara Chika, one of the planners, did not want to fall behind. She buried Shinomiya Kaguya's arm in her chest, completely ignoring the latter's suddenly gloomy face, and dragged her to a fortune-telling stall.

"Kaguya, I heard that this place's love divination is very effective, let's try it."

In just a short moment, just like in the morning, half of the people disappeared. Before the four concubines could react, Ye Shanming had already keenly noticed that something was wrong and glanced at Ji Karen.

Ji Karen was startled by his gaze and forced a smile. She pointed forward in a very exaggerated manner, trying to look surprised.

"Ah, Master, look, there's a balloon-inflating stall over there. Let's go and have some fun."

"You guys go ahead, I'm not interested."

Ye Shanming decisively rejected Ji Karen's proposal. No matter what tricks she had, he just had to stay away from her.

Ji Kailian had never expected that the first setback of tonight's operation would be at Ye Shanming. Fortunately, she had a backup plan. She directly changed the target and sent an invitation to Shijo Shinki:

"Mahiru, let's go play. Erica, you guys come along."

As he said this, he made a gesture towards Oase Erika, who understood what he meant and grabbed Kashiwagi Nagisa's hand.

"You guys go ahead, Nagisa and I will go get some candy apples."

Chapter 13 We are a team of three.

"boom!"

The bullet grazed the balloon, and Shijo Zhenfei was a little annoyed. Ji Karen stood beside her and clapped her hands happily:

"Zhenfei is amazing! She actually broke 15 of them! She's the third prize!"

Under Ji Karen's flattery, the originally unhappy Shijo Shinki suddenly lifted her hair, her face full of pride:

"Of course, I am Shijo Shinki."

Behind the two of them, Akira Hayama nudged Hayasaka Ai, who had been standing next to him.

"Why don't you go up and play?"

"I'm not interested in these things."

Hayasaka Ai glanced at the stall calmly, raised her left wrist, checked the time, and muttered to herself:

"It's almost 8 o'clock..."

"Are you looking forward to the fireworks display?"

"No, I'm not looking forward to it."

Hayasaka Ai denied what Hayama Akira said, a playful smile on her face. "It's just that I got some interesting news this afternoon. The organizers of today's festival didn't actually plan a fireworks display."

"I understand."

Ye Shanming glanced at Ji Karen who was dragging four concubines for a walk, and he realized that this so-called fireworks display was probably created by Ji Karen alone.

"The setting off of large fireworks requires advance notification to the fire department, otherwise it will violate public security regulations. Do you think the fireworks display tonight can be held as planned, Hayama-san?"

Hayasaka Ai had an expression of watching a good show on her face, and just as she said, the cell phones of Kallen Ji and Shinki Shijo rang at the same time. They both took out their phones and saw that the callers were Erica Oase and Nagisa Kashiwagi.

"Kallen, the fire department and police just came over. They said they received a report that someone set off large fireworks without permission. They want to temporarily detain Nagisa and me. Hurry and come to the police station to rescue me!"
