When the ceremony ended, Sato Kazuma happened to walk in from the door holding food.
"Oh, is it over yet?"
He didn't seem surprised that Liu Zi had been repaired. He walked in normally and closed the door. He put the food on the table and asked, "I bought some fried noodles and bread. Do you want to eat some?"
"I want to eat! I happen to be hungry!"
Aqua cheered.
Xiao Lin asked curiously: "Sato-kun, you don't seem surprised at all?"
"Should we be surprised?" Sato Kazuma shrugged indifferently: "Senior Xiaolin will fix her anyway, so after thinking about it, I'm not so surprised."
"You really believe me."
She was a little shy about the unwarranted trust, but shook her head and said, "But unfortunately, Aqua was the main contributor to her repair."
"Really?!"
"it is true."
It was still early for Sato and Makoto to go down to the world, and the time they spent together was relatively short. Aqua had not yet shown her powerful talents other than her role as a goddess, so it was natural for him not to know.
"Master Xiaolin, who is this man who makes you feel physically uncomfortable just by looking at him?"
The words spoken by the cute doll are indeed so venomous.
Sato Kazuma was immediately speechless.
Xiaolin introduced Liu Zi: "His name is Sato Kazuma. He is a very trustworthy companion of mine and a very reliable junior."
"Are you more trustworthy and reliable than me?" Liu Zi looked at Sato Kazuma with a hint of unknown meaning in her eyes.
Xiao Lin smiled slightly: "Of course! ...Only that was the case before you, but not now."
"Ah, it seems that I have fallen out of favor. But if you think about it, you will know that compared to the lowest level human bug who is good for nothing, I am more trustworthy as the highest-end Y-series doll."
Liu Zi puffed up her chest proudly with the attitude of a winner, even though it didn't require any big ups and downs.
"I am a male high school student with strong desires, and my type is big sisters!"
After Sato Kazuma complained, he couldn't help but turned around and complained to Xiaolin: "Am I jealous of her? What's the point of swearing to the palace? And it's too venomous! Although she is very delicate and beautiful, she has a bad personality. Bad!"
"Sorry, please bear with me for a while."
Xiao Lin patted him on the shoulder and defended Liu Zi: "She should be like this because she is programmed to be like this. In fact, apart from her sharp tongue, Liu Zi is still very good, gentle and kind."
"Is it really?"
Sato Kazuma also knew that Ryuuzi was a mechanical doll, and since he was essentially a senior otaku, he naturally understood the "cute setting of mechanical doll personality programs" in film, television, novels or anime.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
"Since Senior Xiaolin said so."
Sato Kazuma put aside his prejudices, tried his best to show a kind smile, and extended his right hand to Liu Zi: "Hello, Miss Liu Zi, my name is Sato Kazuma, and I am a brave man from another world like Kobayashi-senpai."
This is the only title he can come up with.
After all, he hadn't made a name for himself yet, he didn't have any powerful cheats, and he didn't want to be at a disadvantage in front of the person who just belittled him, so he had no choice but to use his reputation as a brave man from another world to build a banner.
But Liu Zi didn't shake hands with him.
"Excuse me for being rude, but I really can't touch him."
Liu Zi apologized to Xiao Lin, and at the same time said to Sato Kazuma in disgust: "According to my eye scan, I found that there are a lot of bacteria remaining on your hands. I hope you can clean them before coming back."
Reminds me of a saying I once heard.
Never shake hands with adolescent boys casually, because you don’t know how much youth regret remains on it.
Xiao Lin subconsciously stayed away from him.
"Sato-kun, you guy..."
"Wait...! No! It's not what you think! Senior Xiaolin! You misunderstood! You really misunderstood!!!"
Kazuma Sato raised his right hand and defended loudly.
But his previous bad impression made his defense unconvincing at all, and it would only get darker and darker.
Sato Kazuma turned gray.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zi completely defeated Sato Kazuma with just a few words, without even a chance to defend himself.
Hiss, could she have done it on purpose?
He said that Sato Kazuma was a reliable junior whom he trusted, so he was so jealous that he used his poisonous tongue to stimulate him...
He looked at the maid next to him suspiciously, but Liu Zi's face showed no abnormality as usual. Xiao Lin shook his head and threw the suspicion away.
Probably not, Liu Zi wouldn't do that.
Xiao Lin chose to believe it.
After a while, Sato Kazuma recovered from his grayness. He had suffered from various verbal injuries and had a strong ability to self-regulate.
He looked at the peaceful Liu Zi and asked, "Senior Xiao Lin, has she decided that you are the master?"
"Well, that's right."
Xiao Lin nodded.
It seemed that there was still some residue in his body. After Kazuma Sato said it, he subconsciously recalled the pleasure he had just felt.
"Hmm...that's weird."
"What's wrong, Sato-kun?"
"According to the general setting, shouldn't she consider the person who repaired her as her master? Kobayashi-senpai also said that it was Aqua who repaired her as the leader, so why not choose her? Ah, of course, I don’t mean that Senior Xiaolin is not suitable to be a master.”
This is a problem.
Xiao Lin was also a little confused.
Although he was the one doing the operation, Aqua was the one directing it, and he was just a tool who followed instructions.
So why choose him as the master?
"Can you explain it to me, Liu Zi?"
"Because it was Mr. Xiaolin who repaired me with his own hands and chose you according to the program settings."
In other words, as long as you do it yourself, it doesn’t matter whether you know how to cultivate or not, as long as you cultivate well... you mean?
"And I feel that that adult is too stupid to be my master."
Liu Zi's poisonous tongue arrived late.
The three of them turned their attention to Aqua, who was eating two fried noodles bread in her hand, her mouth bulging with food, and she looked like a stupid squirrel.
"Well, it's Aqua after all..."
"She is an idiot goddess after all..."
Kobayashi, Sato Kazuma held their foreheads and sighed, because what Liu Zi said was indeed correct.
Aqua quickly looked up when she heard someone shouting.
"What?"
"It's okay, just keep eating."
"oh!"
She cheered and started gobbling it up again.
Fortunately she was not chosen.
The stupid goddess is unreliable and often gets into trouble. If Liu Zi becomes her waiter, she will definitely turn Axel upside down.
Besides, Aqua is the goddess of water who often sprays water for no reason. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't match a mechanical doll created with many gears.
If one day the gears of Liu Zi become oxidized and rusted due to Aqua spraying too much water, it would really make people laugh or cry.
Xiaolin suddenly thought of something: "By the way, where are Darkness and Megumin?"
"It should be at the base, right?"
Although it was a holiday, everyone still couldn't take any time off.
Especially Megumin.
After the team established a common base, she was very keen on tidying up the room, and even said the extremely sad words "This house is better than my home".
"The hotel can't accommodate four people, so let's go there, just in time to introduce them to their new companions."
"I've long wanted to have my own room."
Sato Kazuma’s heart is known to everyone.
Afterwards, they simply packed their luggage and headed straight to their new home in a converted warehouse.
