#163 - Debate on beverage taste
After confirming that Lin Wuming's memories were locked and only he could unlock them, Misaki Shokuhou nodded in satisfaction—unless a second Level 5 psychic appeared, no one should be able to break through her barrier.
—Wuming-senpai's memory information is completely mine!
Having obtained a satisfactory reward, Misaki Shokuhou was content and didn't linger, rising to say goodbye.
After seeing the guest off, Lin Wuming noticed the opened can of drink was still on the table, and after thinking about it, he went over and picked it up.
"Wuming, don't drink it..." Honeycomb Touma saw this and quickly called out.
"Oh, although this can of drink is open, Shokuhou didn't even take a sip. It would be a waste to throw it away directly, don't worry about it..." As he spoke, Lin Wuming tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
"...This taste, how does it feel like beer?" Lin Wuming finally understood why Shokuhou Misaki hadn't drunk it just now.
"Because it is beer!" Honeycomb Touma said, "Kiyama-sensei personally bought the canned drinks, what else could it be besides beer? Why do you think I was trying to stop you just now..."
Because the can was entirely in English and had colorful tropical fruit patterns, Lin Wuming subconsciously thought it was a newly released fruit juice drink, so he casually opened it to entertain the guest.
Unfortunately, although time-travel allowed Lin Wuming to directly master Japanese, it didn't improve his English skills.
Two hours later, Kiyama Harumi returned home and saw that one of the drinks on the table was missing.
"Wuming, did you drink the beer I bought?" Her instincts as a security guard teacher instantly kicked in, and she guessed the truth immediately.
"No," Lin Wuming poked his head out from the kitchen, "I just drank a can of weird-tasting juice."
"Juice..." She looked back at the can on the table—now that she looked at it, the appearance really did look like juice at first glance.
"Don't try to weasel out of it! This is clearly beer, fruit-flavored beer!" Kiyama Harumi came back to her senses and immediately shouted, "It's clearly written on it..."
"Sorry, I don't know English," Lin Wuming retorted.
Actually, if he looked carefully, he would still be able to recognize the words on it. It was just that he was too lazy to look at those headache-inducing foreign words on the can.
"Wuming-kun," Kiyama Harumi said in a serious tone, "You're already a member of Judgment, you need to lead by example! And don't forget, I'm also a teacher, how can you secretly drink in front of me?"
"Kiyama-sensei put her drinks wherever she wanted without writing her name on them, she's also at fault," Honeycomb Touma said a fair word for Lin Wuming's side.
Then, with her further explanation, Kiyama Harumi finally understood what had happened.
After confirming that Lin Wuming hadn't intentionally tried to secretly drink, Kiyama Harumi didn't plan to pursue the matter any further.
After all, just like Honeycomb Touma had said, she was also at fault for not storing it properly.
"Okay, I'll remember to mark the alcoholic drinks in the future," Kiyama Harumi immediately grabbed a marker and scribbled her signature on each can.
At the same time, she said to Lin Wuming, "Next time if you drink a weird-tasting drink again, remember to check if it's alcohol, don't drink it all in one gulp."
"Waste is shameful," Lin Wuming said, "And I said, I was drinking a strangely flavored juice."
"Okay, okay, juice it is then... Remember not to drink my juice before you're an adult, okay?" Kiyama Harumi didn't continue to argue on this topic, "Then for today's dinner, let me use these juices as an accompaniment."
Actually, Kiyama Harumi was only so concerned about Lin Wuming drinking a can of beer because of her instincts as a teacher.
If she were in a different position, or if she hadn't noticed that a can of beer was missing from the table, she wouldn't have fixated on this point.
After all, one can of beer wouldn't make him drunk, and Lin Wuming seemed completely unaffected. Since he could restrain himself and not get drunk, that was fine.
Having spent time together recently, Kiyama Harumi also knew that Lin Wuming was a very self-disciplined person who was good at self-management and was already very mature mentally.
Unless he encountered some extreme situation, Lin Wuming was actually the kind of person who followed rules and order the most.
In comparison, the other child was not as reassuring...
Kiyama Harumi couldn't help but look at the girl sitting next to Lin Wuming.
Unlike Lin Wuming, if Honeycomb Touma drank alcohol... she would probably get drunk without anyone noticing, right?
Moreover, this girl's drinking habits... combined with her superpower and that unstable mental state, it would definitely be a disaster!
Thinking of Honeycomb Touma going on a drunken rampage and using her ability to draw her sword and stab wildly, Kiyama Harumi couldn't help but shudder. If that kind of situation really happened, could she and Lin Wuming really subdue this girl with just the two of them?
Even with all the security guard teachers in this apartment building, could they stop Honeycomb Touma's "Absolute Penetration"?
"Honeycomb, you absolutely mustn't learn from Wuming and drink alcohol, okay?" Kiyama Harumi instructed with a serious expression.
The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
"I said, I drank juice, juice," Lin Wuming reflexively retorted, then quickly added, "However, Honeycomb, you really shouldn't drink that weird-tasting juice."
Similar to what Kiyama Harumi was worried about, Lin Wuming also thought of the terrifying scene of Honeycomb Touma going on a drunken rampage.
Faced with their warnings, Honeycomb Touma rolled her eyes: "I wouldn't drink those non-sweet drinks!"
Honeycomb Touma liked sweets, and even when drinking black tea, she would add a lot of sugar, otherwise she would never drink it.
"Uh... actually, beer also has a sweet taste, as long as you taste it carefully..." As a seasoned drinker, Kiyama Harumi couldn't help but defend beer.
"Hmph, the same rhetoric as when Wuming tricked me into drinking tea," Honeycomb Touma said, "I won't be fooled again."
"No, no, no, tea is bitter first and then sweet, that lingering sweetness is the essence, adding sugar is heresy!" Lin Wuming also immediately defended tea.
Honeycomb Touma would of course not be persuaded by their words, firmly standing on the side of her "sweet water" when it came to drinks, and would never compromise.
Similar arguments or discussions often happened in this house, and the three of them were used to it.
Because they weren't a "family" in the normal sense, Lin Wuming and Honeycomb Touma were only temporarily staying here, and Kiyama Harumi was acting as their guardian.
As the head of the household, Kiyama Harumi adhered to the idea of fair and equal treatment, and respected the attitudes and thoughts of the two children.
As long as it didn't violate school rules or public order and good morals, Kiyama Harumi wouldn't interfere too much with their thoughts.
Of course, this also included their different beverage preferences.
