"Uh…"
The male student from the other class clearly hadn't expected such a blunt refusal in public, and he couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, saying with displeasure.
"I just wanted to make a friend, if you don't want to, then fine, why are you putting on airs?"
"Boring."
Toma Kazusa's expression didn't change at all; she simply walked forward on her own.
Unexpectedly, before she had walked two steps, the male student blocked her path again, and his words became even more excessive.
"Someone like you, who openly sleeps in class, just wants to pretend to have a lot of personality, right? Now who are you putting on a cold act for?"
Toma Kazusa pursed her lips, maintaining her outwardly cold demeanor, but a discerning person could notice a hint of panic in her brows.
"Student."
Just then, the male student felt someone tap him on the shoulder from behind.
He impatiently turned his head, and what met his eyes was Kano Yoruhoshi's face with a kind smile.
"Since she's unwilling, you shouldn't say anything more. If you keep pestering her here like a cockroach, it'll be even more embarrassing, won't it?"
When the male student from the other class heard this, he felt there was something sarcastic in it. Just as he was about to retort, his friend beside him glanced at Kano Yoruhoshi, suddenly changed his expression, and whispered something into his ear.
"Is that him?"
"Yes, that's him."
After listening to his friend, the male student from the other class's face turned somewhat ugly. He looked at Kano Yoruhoshi with a mix of apprehension and panic in his eyes, gritting his teeth and saying.
"Nev…never mind, I'll give you face, let's go."
With that, he and his friend turned and quickly left.
"What does that mean?"
Kano Yoruhoshi noticed the change in the other party's expression, thinking to himself that he hadn't even used his secret technique cultivated in Zaun, Dust Release: Mother Stripping Jutsu, so why did the other party run away like that?
What a pity.
He had wanted to take this opportunity to unleash a satisfying verbal attack.
Toma Kazusa narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, gave Kano Yoruhoshi a cold glance, and without a word of thanks, simply left on her own.
Of course, Kano Yoruhoshi hadn't expected her to express any gratitude towards him.
"Um…"
Yotsuya Miko had held it in all morning, finally waiting until lunch break. She quickly chased out of the classroom, approached Kano Yoruhoshi, and cautiously began to speak.
"Can I talk to you alone? About… those things?"
Kano Yoruhoshi nodded indifferently.
"Sure."
"Then let's go to the rooftop."
"Rooftop?"
When Kano Yoruhoshi heard the word "rooftop," the relaxed smile he always wore suddenly vanished. Even when facing Evil Spirits, his face, which always remained calm and composed, actually showed a frown. Yotsuya Miko was startled and subconsciously asked.
"Could it be that there's danger on the rooftop?"
Kano Yoruhoshi waved his hand.
"No, I just remembered an old friend who passed away many years ago."
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko was stunned for a moment, then apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your painful memories."
"No matter."
Kano Yoruhoshi stretched lazily, yawning as he grumbled.
"That guy deserved to die. He didn't dare to openly have a harem, yet he was secretly two-timing multiple women. He got what he deserved."
Yotsuya Miko was speechless.
She had figured it out.
No matter when, she could never use normal human logic to predict what Kano Yoruhoshi would say next.
He was truly unfathomable.
On the way to the rooftop, Kano Yoruhoshi heard students in the hallway seemingly discussing the same thing.
"Did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"This morning before class, a male student tried to threaten a female student. Luckily, the teacher arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"Really? No way, I didn't see any police cars."
"Yeah, that's the most outrageous part. That male student did something like that and didn't receive any punishment. I really don't know what his background is."
Listening to the discussions around him, Kano Yoruhoshi shook his head and said earnestly to Yotsuya Miko beside him.
"The world is truly degenerating, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. In broad daylight, under the clear sky, someone actually did such a thing. Soubu High School has truly fallen…"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the group of students nearby continue to discuss.
"I heard that male student was carrying weapons, a dagger and nails, and a few yellow papers that looked like talismans."
"Not only that, the version I heard said he also carried firearms."
"No matter what, just avoid him from now on. He's apparently a new student in Class A of the first year, with black hair and eyes, about 1.8 meters tall, and quite good-looking."
"The more outwardly outstanding these perverts are, the more they should be guarded against. From now on, walk around Class A; don't meet him."
"He's truly a dangerous person."
...
Silence, is the Cambridge of this evening.
After a while, Yotsuya Miko looked at the silent Kano Yoruhoshi and apologized softly.
"Um… Kano Yoruhoshi, I'm sorry for causing others to have such a misunderstanding about you."
Kano Yoruhoshi remained silent, merely walking directly to the rooftop door.
Seeing him like this, Yotsuya Miko's heart was completely in her throat.
Although Kano Yoruhoshi didn't seem like a bad person, it was hard to say, right?
At the very least, someone who could devour Evil Spirits was definitely not a normal person.
Could it be that after he took her to the rooftop, he was going to kill her to silence her?
Just as Yotsuya Miko was lost in wild thoughts, Kano Yoruhoshi suddenly murmured to himself.
"That makes sense, I should get a gun."
"As the saying goes, a gun is fast beyond seven steps, and both fast and accurate within seven steps."
"To deal with Evil Spirits, American-style iaijutsu is the way to go."
"It's decided, I'll find a chance to get a gun."
Yotsuya Miko sighed helplessly.
You really want to get a gun?
Goodness, the other students' evaluation of you as a dangerous person isn't wrong at all.
"What do you want to ask? You can ask now."
After arriving on the deserted rooftop, Kano Yoruhoshi closed the door and asked.
"That…"
With a thousand words on her lips, Yotsuya Miko suddenly didn't know where to start.
After pondering for a long while, she finally lowered her voice and asked.
"When did you start seeing those things?"
Kano Yoruhoshi shrugged, saying indifferently.
"About half a month ago."
Yotsuya Miko was very surprised to hear this.
In just half a month, had he completely eliminated his fear of Evil Spirits and ghosts?
She remembered that when she first awakened these eyes, she didn't dare to go out at night for nearly a month.
Was she too timid…
Or was Kano Yoruhoshi not a normal person?
Yotsuya Miko composed herself, then asked curiously.
"So, how many of those things have you eliminated to this day?"
Kano Yoruhoshi smiled and said something that made Yotsuya Miko's blood run cold.
"Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?"
