Chapter 724 - 201: Fish
"..."
Stare～
"Rustle..."
Swoosh～
At this moment, on the plane heading to Ying Country.
Ye Shiyu frowned, still unable to shake off the oppressive feeling when An Le walked past her just moments ago.
Bai Yi next to her had it worse, pretending to be dead, turning her head to look at Ye Shiyu rather than at An Le.
It was only after An Le had walked past for a while that Bai Yi turned her head, complaining that her neck had gotten sore from staying turned.
As soon as An Le appeared, everyone in the first two rows—except for Sakuragi Yuri, who was completely oblivious—changed their expressions drastically, taking a long time to recover.
At this moment, Ye Shiyu struggled to straighten up, holding on to the seatbelt around her waist, casting her gaze to the left, trying to distract herself by seeing if Sakuragi Hitomi was doing anything to Xiao Huan.
However, Sakuragi Yuri, who was sitting in the middle, occasionally moved her tattered fan, seemingly casually blocking Ye Shiyu’s searching gaze.
This old woman...
Ye Shiyu squinted at the smiling Sakuragi Yuri, finding her increasingly obnoxious.
Yet Sakuragi Yuri seemed completely unaware of Ye Shiyu’s terrifying gaze, continuing to fan herself, occasionally calling the flight attendant to ask for various things.
This made her a wall, completely isolating Ye Shiyu.
Watching this, Bai Yi, sitting beside her, also realized Ye Shiyu’s probing gaze.
After thinking for a second, Bai Yi seemed to understand Ye Shiyu’s thoughts, and first glanced at Spencer in the second row.
She saw Spencer scrunched up in the seat with closed eyes, looking extremely uncomfortable, mumbling something strange,
"One pig, two pigs, three pigs..."
What is this guy doing?
It turned out that Spencer was very afraid of flying. Not only did she need to cover her ears and close her eyes during takeoff and landing, but even during stable flight, she had to quickly fall asleep.
Otherwise, she would get airsick.
And the impact of An Le boarding the plane had also hit her hard, making her forget to cover her ears and close her eyes at takeoff, so she was now a bit airsick.
But that’s also good; this girl is rare quiet, so there’s no need to be vigilant.
Seeing this, Bai Yi relaxed and said to Ye Shiyu in an all-knowing tone with a light hum,
"Stop staring at Spencer, she doesn’t have the energy to do anything to Yan Huan right now."
"..."
Hearing this, Ye Shiyu withdrew her gaze from Sakuragi Hitomi and looked at Bai Yi.
Even now, Bai Yi had not realized Sakuragi Yuri’s sinister hand...
Glancing at her, Ye Shiyu didn’t know what to say.
She just started to doubt whether choosing to ally with the two of them was the right choice.
Wait a minute.
At this moment, the image of Bai Yi shrinking back when seeing An Le suddenly flashed in Ye Shiyu’s mind.
She herself had fought with An Le, suffered a setback, and temporarily avoided An Le’s edge.
And Bai Yi’s reaction was even more intense than hers...
So why is she afraid of An Le?
Ye Shiyu squinted, thought for a second, and then moved closer to Bai Yi with her phone.
In the end, the moment Bai Yi sensed Ye Shiyu getting closer, she quickly backed away like a mouse seeing a cat,
"You... what are you doing?"
"...I have something to ask you."
Seeing this, Ye Shiyu beckoned with her index finger, signaling her to come closer.
Bai Yi hesitated for a few seconds, but finally came a bit closer, considering they were still in an alliance,
"What do you want to ask?"
"You..."
Then Ye Shiyu leaned in to her ear, and asked softly,
"...do you also have a superpower?"
"!!"
This simple question made Bai Yi’s eyes shrink as she turned in disbelief to look at Ye Shiyu beside her.
All the while, Ye Shiyu’s face remained expressionless as she scrutinized Bai Yi’s expression...
As if already knowing the answer.
...
...
"Not even landed yet and the problem has already emerged, Meow-chan..."
As time ticked by, Yan Huan leaned by the window, looking at the team list in her hand, and started to get a headache.
The tentative objectives for Ying Country were twofold:
1. Before the final day’s deadline, stop An Le, who has started to act strangely after turning black, trying to suppress her modifier, which is beginning to spiral out of control.
2. Ensure the smooth landing of this "learning group journey team" so it doesn’t turn into a modifier battle.
However, the issue is:
Sakuragi Yuri’s plan is for them to travel with the tour group for the first four days, then diverge from the main group after Kobe.
After that, they would visit the Sakuragi Family, meeting back in Tokyo on the last day to fly back to Linmen together.
This means that there are only four days when it would be reasonable for Yan Huan to approach An Le.
Moreover, An Le didn’t know about the learning group (in fact, she did), so it’s still uncertain whether An Le will explode once they break off from the group.
The only solution is to invite An Le to join the learning group, anyway, Sakuragi Yuri also mentioned this.
But doing so would turn the learning group into a "superpower combat exchange group."
"Slam~"
Yan Huan hit her head with the list in frustration, feeling it was getting increasingly tricky.
Being unfamiliar with Ying Country, and currently on an external journey, there wasn’t much the student council president could do.
That’s right, Sister Tong is also in Ying Country!
Just don’t know which city she’s in now; might ask her at the stop, maybe they can meet...
With nothing useful at hand to solve the issue temporarily, Yan Huan decided to seize the opportunity presented by the first four days...
"..."
Meanwhile, Sakuragi Hitomi pursed her lips at the side, watching Yan Huan’s contemplative expression grow increasingly tense.
Her mother’s intention was obvious to her; it was to create an opportunity for her to be alone.
