The Puppeteer of Academy City

September 27th, the first school day after the Daihasei Festival.

The lazy atmosphere still hangs over Academy City. After the school bell rang, a large group of tired students poured out from each school, walking back in twos and threes.

After a whole week of sports festival, it was really uncomfortable to go back to class suddenly.

Among them, the students who belonged to the Disciplinary Committee felt even more deeply—after all, they were still working overtime like crazy until yesterday, and they had no time to rest at all.

Beside the mobile booth in the park, Chuchun Shili, a member of the 177th Branch of the Disciplinary Committee, was in this lazy and lethargic state.

Holding the crepe she just bought in her hand, she stood on the side of the road, staring straight ahead in a daze.

Chuchun Shili's position was originally logistical support, she was also in charge of summarizing the report and sorting out the files, so she didn't rest all day yesterday.

Thinking about having to continue to work overtime today, Uiharu Shuri's heart became even heavier.

"Chu-Chun-Zhuli!"

Suddenly behind her... Strictly speaking, a familiar voice came from behind her, accompanied by an equally familiar updraft.

Feeling disgusted, Uiharu Shiri screamed and pressed down on the hem of her uniform skirt.

"Ah! What are you doing!" The girl was awakened instantly, her face flushed.

Her friend and the culprit who lifted her skirt - Saten Ruiko completely ignored her scolding, squatting on the ground with emotion.

"Is it a bear pattern today? As expected, it is early spring, and it matches your style very well."

"Stop talking!" Chuchun Zhuli hurriedly reached behind her back, pressing down on the hem of her skirt.

"Yes, yes, although it is a bit childish, it matches well with the wreath on the head." Another voice came from beside him.

Both Saten Reiko and Uiharu Shiri were stunned, and Uiharu Shiri screamed again.

Uiharu Shuri is somewhat used to the vicious interests of Saten Reiko, a bad friend. But it was unacceptable that suddenly there were many other people peeping under her skirt so openly.

Saten Reniko quickly turned her head to look, only to see another person squatting beside her, a girl about her age.

Like Saten Ruiko, she has enviable long black hair, which is tied into a ponytail and hangs behind her head. I don't know which school he is from because he is wearing private clothes.

Jian is also a girl, so she calmed down a little bit.

Pressing the hem of the skirt with one hand, she took a few steps back and distanced herself from the two of them.

The ponytail girl who suddenly appeared stood up with an expression of interest on her face: "Thank you for the hospitality! Is this the way your school greets you? It's really good!"

She was obviously a pretty girl with a pretty face, but her expression was like that of a lecherous boy.

"That's not it!" Chuchun Shili retorted loudly.

Saten Saten also stood up, scratched her head and said, "Well, just kidding, don't take it too seriously..."

Because there was a stranger next to her, Saten Reniko also restrained herself a lot and apologized quickly.

"Don't worry about it, I'll treat you to a crepe!" Saten Ruiko seemed to have thought of a good idea.

"I already have it!" Chuchun Shiri held up the crepe in his hand.

"I bought the chocolate flavor, and I can exchange it."

"Oh, I want one too." The girl with the ponytail said without hesitation, "Give me the mango flavor, so there are three flavors."

"Eh...is that so?" Even Ruiko Saten, who had a cheerful and carefree personality, was a little troubled at this time.

"Let's go, let's go." The girl with the ponytail didn't realize it, she took Saten Renko's hand very familiarly, and walked towards the booth.

"Huh? Please...please let go...I can walk by myself!" Saten Ruiko said hastily, and struggled hard.

But to her surprise, the girl with the ponytail was extremely strong, and Saten Saten tearfully twitched a few times, but she couldn't break free.

Moreover, the ponytail girl kept making small movements, stroking her hand carefully back and forth. If she had changed her gender, Saten Saten would have already slapped her.

After finally buying a crepe, the ponytail girl finally let go of Saten Ruiko.

The three of them ate pancakes on the bench next to them.

"Well, it tastes good." The ponytail girl praised repeatedly, "By the way, we are also friends, is it time to get to know each other?"

"Wow, there's definitely something wrong with your order, right?" Saten Ruiko complained, "But... I'm Saten Ruiko, a first-year student at Sagawa Middle School, and this is Uiharu Shiri from the same class."

"Oh," the ponytail girl nodded, "I'm also in the seventh grade, but I don't go to school here. You can call me Chanjuan."

"moon?"

"Well, it means moon in Chinese."

Chuchun Shili asked: "But now it's not the period of the Daiha Star Festival, if you are a foreign tourist, why are you still staying in Academy City?"

"Daba Star Festival?" Chanjuan turned her head to look at the advertisement on the side of the road that has not been removed, "Oh, that... I just arrived today, and it has nothing to do with the sports meeting."

"Chanjuan, are you going to transfer to another school?" Reminiscent of what happened to Misaka Mikoto the day before yesterday, Saten Renko guessed.

"No, I'm here to visit my relatives." Chanjuan said with a smile, "My little brother lives in this city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Saten Leizi and Chuchun Shili looked at each other, some couldn't understand each other the words said.

"You mean, your junior goes to school here?" Chuchun Shili asked, "Which school is it? Do you need help?"

"Don't worry, I can find him." Chanjuan gnawed on the crepe and said suddenly, "Tear, are you practicing the silk-drawing scene?"

"Reniko..." Saten Saten felt her impoliteness again, and at the same time looked over in surprise, "I am indeed practicing how to operate the puppet, how do you know?"

"Your finger has calloused marks from the friction of the ring, you can tell it by touching it."

"Hey! Is it so serious?" Saten Ruiko hurriedly stretched out the five fingers of her right hand to check carefully.

"You can't see it, it's just a sign." Chanjuan said, "I have a formula. If I make a hand cream with ointment, it can eliminate calluses on my hands. I will send it to you later."

Saten Ruiko almost thought that the girl was here to sell cosmetics.

But at this point, she finally came to her senses.

"Excuse me, Chanjuan, are you also a puppet master?" Zuo Tian Leizi asked her, "Do you know Senior Ling Xingye?"

Chanjuan swallowed the crepes in the last few mouthfuls, and then said: "I am not a puppet master, but I know more about puppet masters. Also, I was rude just now, and I didn't give my full name—my name is Ling, Ling Chanjuan. As for your mention of Ling Xingye is my family's junior brother."

After all, without giving the other two any time to be surprised, Ling Chanjuan jumped off the bench, bid farewell and left.

"It's almost there, I'm going to find my junior brother, see you later!"

Saten Saten watched the other party leave blankly, and asked after a while: "That girl, is what she said true or false?"
