"How can you know without comparing." Ge Li said in a stubborn tone.

Wayne frowned and said: "Sing Li... you may not understand that for them, losing this game means losing, it is nothing at all. Anyway, no one will blame them, let alone return the favor.

Lawrence is the one who takes the blame."

"But, it's different for you."

Because I understand her devotion to the orchestra department, I don't want to watch her crash into a rocky mountain.

Starting from the elementary school, Karei spent a lot of time every week in the club management of the orchestra department. Even on weekends, she often came to the academy to select etudes, make activity plans, etc.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the orchestra section is part of her hard work.

If the orchestra section, which occupies such an important position in her heart, finally turned into a mobile club in her hands...

The lost honor is not so easy to get back.

Especially, from the hands of the protagonist.

But--

"I would rather challenge and then fail than fail without even taking the first step."

Ge Li's water-like eyes were extremely stubborn at this time.

She looked at Wayne steadily, her eyes full of emotions that he couldn't recognize.

Seeing that he couldn't convince her, Wayne was a little impatient.

"This is not a failure... this is a roundabout tactic! Save your strength and wait for the opportunity to have the possibility of defeating the strong with the weak..."

Ge Li opened her lips slightly and interrupted his words.

"You always thought Chris was better than me, right?"

Wayne was stunned by her question and speechless.

——No way, you have to fight even now?

"No, I am not talking about this matter based on personal preference. I am discussing this issue with you based on objective reality."

"Miss Songli, in my heart, I am no worse than anyone else." He said, "But... some things cannot be changed by one's subjective will."

He didn't want Geli to be hit because of something like this.

She also didn’t want to imagine what those people who had given her all kinds of praises before would say about her if the orchestra department lost its activity room in her hands.

She is different from Chris.

With Chrissy's usual reputation, no matter how unorthodox she did, people would only pretend to be surprised and exclaim, "Sure enough, that's something that young lady can do."

These innocuous remarks were not taken seriously by Chris at all.

But if Ms. Songli deviates from the image that everyone originally expected, her proud status in the past may face collapse.

Most of those who once followed the trend in praising her will continue to follow the trend in slandering her.

——People will always be more demanding on children who have always been obedient.

There are many such unreasonable people in this academy.

"Are you afraid that I will lose the activity room of the orchestra department?" she asked coldly.

"I'm not kidding." Wayne said solemnly, "If the current situation continues, there is at least a 90% chance that the orchestra department will lose."

After hearing his words, Ge Li was silent for a moment.

Just as Wayne was hesitating whether he should agree if Song Li asked for help, her slightly deeper voice came to his ears.

"I can agree to your request and let others take the lead in this matter."

Soon, she followed up with the next sentence——

"But you have to compensate me in other ways."

compensate?

Wayne asked slightly confused: "How to compensate? Then in my name, I will lose the activity room of the orchestra department to you?"

"…seems like a feasible suggestion."

Miss Songli first expressed her affirmation of his proposal, and then shook her head. "But, that's not what I'm talking about."

"Huh?" Wayne looked at her puzzled.

"Last weekend, did you and Chris go to the lake to play?" Ge Li suddenly asked.

...You also know this?

Could it be that they secretly sent someone to follow me?

Seeing that Wayne's expression was condensed and full of suspicion, Ge Li said angrily: "That guy Gavin has already leaked your whereabouts at the Lily Club."

"..."

Almost immediately, he saw Gavin bragging about everything.

Please! Gavin, you must remember that you are going to confess your love!

Before the results of this kind of thing are obtained, isn't it necessary to enter the village secretly and not to shoot?

He hesitated twice, "Ah, there is such a thing."

"How's it going? Are you having a good time?" She stared at Wayne and asked expressionlessly.

Wayne looked embarrassed.

Should I say I am happy or unhappy...

"It's... not bad."

Although his answer was ambiguous, Ge Li did not get to the bottom of it.

She just said: "I want to go too."

Wayne frowned.

"It's up to you to decide the time and plan. In short... you want to take me to play."

After saying this, Geli didn't want to hear his next response, but walked away from him and left the library area.

An imperceptible breeze blew by.

Only a stunned Wayne was left standing there stupidly.

…

After all, Songlee-san is still a little girl, so it's normal for her to want to go out and play.

The problem is, if someone sees him traveling alone with her, that's not a trivial matter.

This is true for both those who know her and those who know her.

With this entanglement, Wayne came to Conley's research laboratory.

As his teacher who had taught him for many years, Conley still received a lot of preferential treatment in the city guard, although he still could not completely clear himself of the suspicion.

You know, it's a hellish place where torture can be justified, and it would be nice to be able to come out with all the beards and tails intact.

In addition, Professor Conley is a rare talent after all. There has been no further progress in the case for the time being, so the City Guard has released him for the time being.

Since he was subject to a personal restraint order and was prohibited from leaving the capital by the joint investigation team, Conley simply stayed in the research room these days and became a veritable homebody.

However, today, he did not show off his treasures as enthusiastically as before, but frowned.

Even when he saw his disciple, he didn't look very happy.

"Wayne..."

After a moment of silence, he asked softly and hesitantly: "Do you think... will my invention bring good changes to the world, or will it bring bad changes?"

In the research room, the workbench is kept very clean, without any clutter, and there is no dust on the floor.

It's completely different from the messy look before.

Seeing this, Wayne couldn't help but sigh.

...The teacher seems to have doubts about the significance of the existence of those research inventions.

He placed the roasted chicken legs he had packed on the table.
