Chapter Thirty-One Waiting for the Car
Kaito Hatsuyuki stood at the bus stop with an unpleasant expression, muttering to himself; a few other students waiting nearby huddled together in a low voice discussing something, if not for those suspicious glances occasionally cast towards Kaito, it would have looked like ordinary gossip among students.
I was already unhappy, and now I'm even more unhappy. Why do I have to continue being the subject of your discussions after being ridiculed by an unlucky spokesperson? Today, the Lucky Star Anime Fortune Telling Community clearly said that Aquarius people would have good luck! What kind of development is this? Is the Lucky Star Anime Fortune Telling Community a scam run by the Tonglin family, specifically designed to cheat people like me who only post occasionally and don't reply to comments?
After waiting for a long time, the bus to the hospital still hadn't arrived. On such a hot day, Jie Lü Chu Yì really didn't want to walk that far to get to the hospital; out of boredom, Jie Lü Chu Yì used his ability to control the dust in the air and gather it into a bundle of invisible threads and two cylindrical objects, forming a makeshift telephone (PS1). One end of the phone was connected from his ear to the side of several chattering girls who were gathered together discussing him.
Hmph, this trip is just the beginning of my dark smile: My ability is quantum acceleration, and quantum is a unit noun, so I'm not just limited to controlling heavy particles in aluminum products. It's just that due to familiarity, controlling aluminum products feels more natural, which is why I like to use them often in battle!
Soon, the content of the girls' discussion was transmitted into Kaito Minami's ears through the grapevine.
"Hey, is that guy with dead fish eyes really Soten's boyfriend? He looks so gloomy."
The first sentence that came through almost made Kaito choke on his saliva, and he quickly cancelled the ability to make the phone call disappear. At the same time, some doubts arose in Kaito's mind; what was this inexplicable dialogue all about? As Kaito looked over there again, everything became clear... one of the girls there was one of Soten no Ko's gossip friends from that day.
Learning that the rumor was spread in such a way, Jio was so angry that he gritted his teeth; if I had known it was like this, I would have made you all die, it's better to use "Fantasy Royal Hand" and never wake up again. I'm a person who has dedicated my body to 2 dimensions, how dare you use such rumors to tarnish my innocence? Aren't you afraid of retribution?
But then again, Touma suddenly thought; he had been listening to "Phantasmal Hand" for the past few days, and even out of a sense of revenge, he had played it for Index. However, neither of them seemed to have exhibited any abnormalities. Not to mention an increase in abilities, their computational powers hadn't increased significantly either. This was evident from how Index still acted like an idiot when doing her summer math homework after listening to "Phantasmal Hand".
If I didn't get any benefits and fainted, that would be a huge loss. But is this thing really genuine? Won't it be Taobao selling high imitation goods? The more I think about it, the more I feel it's possible. I said how come after listening for so long to 'Fantasy Royal Hand' I actually felt more energetic and didn't show any signs of dizziness at all. This stuff is indeed a high imitation! Thinking that this was possible, Jian Lü Chū Yǐ suddenly let out a sigh of relief feeling like he had narrowly escaped disaster.
At this time, the long-awaited bus finally appeared in the distorted air above the highway, with the clumsy bus first revealing the top of the car with numbers and terminal stations written on it, followed by the entire bus finally appearing in the eyes of people who were eager to see. The waiting crowd couldn't help but smile at each other, this scorching weather was really too hot, even the uncle who didn't care about his skin being sunburned didn't want to stay outside for long in such weather.
Kaito Minami was in the queue waiting to board the bus, when a ringtone of "Maboroshi no Kanata" suddenly started playing from his phone; without thinking, he quickly reached into his pocket and turned it off.
The reason is, firstly, in Japan, it's considered impolite to speak loudly on the phone or let your mobile phone make too much noise in public places; secondly, because Keitai thinks that apart from his mobile service provider, no one else would send him text messages or emails, so whether he looks at them or not doesn't matter, just like in the past when he only received texts from 10086.
After getting on the bus, Jie Lü Chu Xiang found a seat in the back and sat down. The seats at the back of the bus are generally where pickpockets tend to appear more frequently. In his past life before crossing over, Jie Lü Chu Xiang had encountered thieves trying to steal from him several times, and they always chose this position. Once, he even saw a small blade used by thieves in the gap above the plastic seat on the bus! This all goes to show that the back of the bus is indeed a favorite spot for thieves to strike.
Kazari Utsuho liked this place because it was relatively less crowded and quieter. Moreover, Kazari wasn't afraid of those sneaky bastards even before, and now he wouldn't care about them at all. Besides, in Academy City, being a delinquent is more promising than being a thief, who would be stupid enough to be a thief?
After the bus started moving, Jiaolong felt that the driver's speed was a bit slow, no wonder it took so long to arrive at the station. Compared to those drivers in his previous life who could drive buses like sports cars, this one was far too inferior. He thought back to when he was young and never got car sick, but during college, he embarrassingly threw up on NN's 76 bus route! Although it wasn't until after getting off at the terminal station that he vomited, and the people around him who kept throwing up nonstop from start to finish also played a role in pushing him over the edge.
Now thinking back to the embarrassing things that happened when I was in college, I couldn't help but curl up my mouth; if it wasn't for running into bad luck and being assigned to the same class as that bastard, at that time I should have left behind many precious memories that cannot be erased like everyone else.
"My wavering thoughts are like marshmallows, fluffy and floating..."
Just as Kaito Minami was zoning out, staring at the streets moving backwards outside the car window with his chin resting on his hand, his phone in his pocket rang again. This time it was "Fuwa Fuwa Time" set as the ringtone for incoming calls; Kaito rolled his eyes and decided that if it was a sales call, he would not hang up or say anything until the other party hung up themselves!
Jie Lü Chū Yì impatiently pulled out his phone, saw the incoming call display on the screen, and felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He glanced around at the surrounding passengers who were giving him disapproving looks due to the loud ringtone, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the answer button; anyway, I'm just a homebody, no matter how you think I'm being rude, it's all just a waste of effort.
Sometimes, spiritual victory is indeed the best excuse for human self-protection.
…………………………………
Today, I did business and met a person from Jinan, Shandong named Wang Xiaoqing. He insisted that I ship the goods ahead of schedule. I explained to him that cutting in line is not good and is not allowed. As a result, this bastard actually filed a complaint against me! How shameless! Due to this person's matter, the upload was delayed for a bit, sorry about that.
