A Scientific Urban Detective

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Chōchin Teahouse was also very straightforward and immediately stated her plan: "The sooner the better, we'll act tomorrow morning! I'll first steal a phone that can contact the outside world, which can be used to contact Lin Wuming."

As she spoke, Chōchin Teahouse pulled out a pile of equipment from under her bed – all ninja tools she had made herself using materials around her and spare time.

"But the main escape plan still relies on ourselves," the ninja girl said. "After stealing the phone, I will assassinate the researchers who want to kill Haruaki Hime, provoke infighting among the researchers, and order the guards to participate in the civil war. Then you can take the opportunity to escape."

"So simple?" Shirakinu Hiutsu clicked her tongue.

"The simpler the plan, the less likely it is to go wrong," Chōchin Teahouse said. "We'll improvise when the time comes. Akakawa, your ability is the strongest, so we'll rely on you when we encounter enemies."

"Wahahaha, rely on me~" Akakawa Raifu laughed, then asked vaguely, "But when will the hero come?"

"Call him thirty minutes before the operation," Chōchin Teahouse said. "If the plan goes smoothly, we can meet up with him when we escape from the research institute."

Like Misaki Shokuhou, in Chōchin Teahouse's plan, Lin Wuming was just a backup plan to be used as a last resort.

After all, they hadn't reached a point of desperation, so there was no need to place all their hopes on someone they didn't know.

After agreeing on the escape plan, the four girls rested early to recharge their energy for tomorrow's operation.

...

In the early morning, Hachisu Tomitsu stretched as she walked out of her room. Because she was used to the living environment in Yoizumi Aihana's house, she was completely unguarded, revealing a very relaxed expression.

A beautiful head of golden hair was messily coiled behind her head due to her sleeping posture. She was only wearing a men's T-shirt, the hem of which reached her thighs, and the slightly wide neckline was open, almost completely exposing her left shoulder...

The girl was completely unaware, sleepily walking towards the bathroom.

"Good morning," Lin Wuming, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and greeted her.

"Mornin'~~" Hachisu Tomitsu mumbled, then woke up slightly, opened her eyes to look at Lin Wuming, and then glanced at the kitchen and living room, "Where's Yoizumi-sensei?"

"She has an early shift today and has already left," Lin Wuming said. "Hurry up and wash up, change your clothes, and come eat breakfast."

"Oh." Hachisu Tomitsu nodded and walked into the bathroom.

Because of the low mood in the early morning, Hachisu Tomitsu only behaved like an ordinary girl at this time of day.

However, she seemed to like her current attire. After washing up, she didn't intend to change out of her "pajamas" and sat down at the dining table in high spirits.

"What does it matter, I'm not planning on going out today anyway, so it doesn't matter what I wear at home," Hachisu Tomitsu said.

Lin Wuming nodded, not dwelling too much on the girl's clothing.

"So, I'm still going out to do missions by myself today?" Lin Wuming asked as he ate breakfast, opening his phone to check his emails.

"Wuming, you really don't find it boring," Hachisu Tomitsu said. "I'm impressed you've been able to stick with it until now."

"I don't like giving up halfway."

The leisurely breakfast time passed without any phone calls to disturb them, which made Hachisu Tomitsu feel satisfied.

These days, it's unknown whether Lin Wuming himself felt bored, but Hachisu Tomitsu herself was allergic to the phone's ringtone. Every time she heard the familiar ringtone, she couldn't help but want to stab the phone with a sword!

After finishing her portion of breakfast, Hachisu Tomitsu didn't clean up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher as usual, but sat cross-legged on the chair, looking at the boy across from her.

"Wuming."

"What's wrong?" Lin Wuming looked up.

"Are you aware that you are currently living with a girl?" Hachisu Tomitsu suddenly asked.

She hadn't changed out of her "pajamas" today out of genuine comfort; but after making that decision, she felt that something was wrong.

When she lived with Sakurai-sensei at her own house, Hachisu Tomitsu liked this refreshing and casual attire; but since moving to this apartment, every time she walked out of her room like this, Yoizumi Aihana would remind her and urge her to go back and change.

– Lin Wuming's reminder today was just following the routine, imitating Yoizumi Aihana's actions.

The only reason she was so concerned about her clothes was because there was a boy in the house, a boy about the same age as Hachisu Tomitsu.

However, Hachisu Tomitsu thought carefully and realized that Lin Wuming never seemed to have any opinions about her attire.

– Even in her unguarded state this morning, his expression was still calm.

That's why Hachisu Tomitsu asked.

The newest novel is on 69shu.com!

– Could it be that he's used to living with other peers in the orphanage and research institute, so he's insensitive?

Lin Wuming said, "I've always been aware."

As he spoke, he looked down and examined his clothes.

Only then did Hachisu Tomitsu realize that Lin Wuming always looked neat and impeccable no matter when she saw him.

– So, he's aware in that aspect?

Hachisu Tomitsu couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Lin Wuming didn't think he was doing anything wrong, and belatedly realized Hachisu Tomitsu's true intention in asking.

However, past experience had taught Lin Wuming that it was often easier to restrain himself than to restrain others.

Moreover, he was originally staying at Yoizumi Aihana's house, so he couldn't make the host accommodate him, right?

After Hachisu Tomitsu also moved in, the ratio of men to women in the house became one to two, so the minority had to obey the majority, and he needed to restrain himself even more.

As for the girl in front of him at this moment... she's just a child, not someone who needs special attention yet.

"Speaking of which!" As if suddenly remembering something, Hachisu Tomitsu jumped off the chair and walked around the dining table to Lin Wuming's side. "Wuming, you haven't changed your clothes, have you?"

Because his hands and feet were all wrapped in thick casts, it must be troublesome to put on and take off clothes.

"Wuming, how long has it been since you took a shower?" The girl leaned closer, sniffing lightly.

Lin Wuming rolled his eyes and used his telekinetic barrier to push her away: "What are you thinking? Of course, I've been showering properly."

"But I've never seen you!"

"How could you possibly see me!" Lin Wuming said speechlessly. "I'm always the last one to use the bathroom, after you've all gone back to your rooms to rest."
