"Kiyono-kun, there's another person in the alley."

"Ok?"

“My mother had been coughing all night, and we were out of cold medicine at home, so I went out to buy some. When I passed through the alley, I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt dizzy and my body went out of control and I walked in,” Kato Megumi explained softly. “Then I saw that monster from before, attacking a woman. I was so scared that I came to my senses.”

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and stepped deeper into the area. He soon saw a woman whose flesh was mangled and bloodied, a truly gruesome sight.

"How is she...?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head, trying to observe Kiyono Makoto from behind.

Snapped.

Kiyono Makoto grabbed the girl's right hand, frowned, and ordered:

"Kato-kun, turn around."

"...鸸蹴熘疚亿伞芭硫帬∞好."

Kato Megumi obediently turned around.

"Don't look around."

Kiyono Makoto stepped forward, reached out and checked the woman's breath. He found that she was still breathing, but clearly only had one breath left, so he decisively used water magic to help heal her.

The mist drifted away and quietly seeped into the woman's body. The woman on the ground trembled slightly. Although she did not wake up, the small wounds on her body had healed and her breathing had become noticeably more stable.

"call……"

Using water magic continuously in a short period of time will multiply the consumption of mental energy. Kiyono Makoto let out a light breath and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead:

"Don't worry, she's still breathing. I just treated her."

Seino Makoto blocked Kato Megumi's view:

"Let's go, let's get out of here first, and then call the police."

The two walked out of the alley, and Kato Megumi took the initiative to call the police. Then, instead of leaving immediately, they walked to the other side of the road and waited for each other.

Soon after, police cars and ambulances arrived with sirens blaring and carried the woman away from the alley on a stretcher. It could be seen that the woman had regained consciousness and was sobbing.

"call……"

Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.

"Kiyono-kun, I'm going home now."

Where's your umbrella?

"Uh... when I was feeling dizzy earlier, I think my umbrella fell to the ground. It must have been blown away by the wind."

This is clearly a super frustrating thing, but your tone is far too calm!

Kiyono Makoto hesitated for two seconds: "Is Kato-kun's house far away?"

"Huh?"

"The rain is getting heavier, and you don't have an umbrella. Let me take you."

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips, showing no sign of rejection:

"...I'm sorry to have troubled you, Kiyono-kun."

"Let's go." Kiyono Makoto turned to the girl beside him. "Did you lose your medicine?"

"No, I put it in my bag after I bought it."

"Will Kato cry if she loses her bag?"

"That kind of thing shouldn't happen. A bag isn't an umbrella; it won't be blown away by the wind, will it?"

"..."

The two soon arrived at an intersection. While waiting for the red light, Kiyono Makoto turned around and looked at the quiet, indifferent-looking Saint, and couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you even a little bit curious about the monster from before, Kato-kun?"

"Actually, I'm a little curious," Kato Megumi replied calmly, "but I feel that asking rashly would put Kiyono-san in a difficult position, so I won't ask."

No, your personality is far too easygoing! If it were Eriri, she'd probably be asking a million questions by now!

Based on her behavior just now, it's clear that Kato Megumi is still an ordinary person and hasn't been recruited by the amusement park to become a player, so Kiyono Makoto didn't explain in detail:

"Kato-kun will find out later."

“Eh…” Kato Megumi blinked her bright eyes, “Actually, it’s okay if I don’t know, as long as we don’t run into each other again in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto retorted, "It feels like you're setting a dangerous flag."

"Ah~ should I withdraw now?"

"I'm sorry, it's too late."

"..."

A moment later.

Kiyono Makoto and Kato Megumi arrived at the entrance of a detached house.

"Kiyono-kun, I'm home."

Kato Megumi looked up at her and thanked her earnestly:

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun."

"You're welcome, I was just passing by."

"If it weren't for Kiyono-san's timely appearance, I might never have been able to go home again, so please let me repay Kiyono-san."

Kiyono Makoto waved his hand, preparing to leave, when the door suddenly clicked open...

Chapter 29 The Saint Student and Water Magic

"Xiao Hui, you're back?"

A beautiful woman stood in the entryway, her long black hair simply tied up, with a gentle appearance and a graceful demeanor.

Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Mrs. Kato breathed a sigh of relief:

“Xiao Hui has been out for more than half an hour and hasn’t replied to my messages. Mom is a little worried and is about to go out to look for you.”

“Um…” Kato Megumi blinked her bright eyes, naturally not mentioning the danger she encountered, and said in a nonchalant tone, “My umbrella was accidentally blown away by the wind, but luckily Kiyono-san brought me back. We were chatting the whole way and I forgot to check my phone.”

"Hey, is this Xiaohui's friend?"

Mrs. Kato's gaze shifted and landed on Kiyono Makoto, her eyes quickly brightening.

Kiyono Makoto bowed slightly and replied politely, "Auntie, good evening. I am Kiyono Makoto, and I am a classmate of Kato."

"Come in and sit for a while." Mrs. Kato quickly opened the door. "It's raining heavily outside. Come in and have a cup of tea before you leave."

"I'll drink again next time..."

"Today is the first time Xiao Hui has ever brought a friend home since she was a child. She must come in for tea."

"..."

Faced with the exceptionally enthusiastic Mrs. Kato, Seino Makoto could only turn to his classmate, Sage, for help.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi gently ran her fingers through the strands of hair by her ear, and said in a light tone, "The rain is indeed getting heavier. Kiyono-san, come in and have a cup of tea."

Hey, I asked you to help out of this predicament, not for you and your daughter to work together!

Faced with Mrs. Kato's enthusiastic invitation, Seino Makoto had no choice but to agree:

"...Then I'll take my leave."

Kato Megumi stepped into the entryway first, bent down to open the shoe cabinet, and whispered as she took out slippers:

"Mom, it's windy at the door, you should go inside first. Your cold hasn't gotten better yet."

"Okay. [Unintelligible characters]"

"The cold medicine is in my bag. I'll give it to you later. Remember to take your medicine on time, Mom."

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

The mother and daughter's conversation seemed normal, but for some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of subtlety about it.

"Kiyono-kun, change into slippers." Kato Megumi put down a pair of blue slippers. "These are spare slippers for Dad; no one has worn them."

"Thank you."

Kiyono Makoto politely thanked him, bent down to change his shoes, and after standing up, he felt like he had forgotten something.

"Wait...where's my umbrella?"

Looking at his empty hands, Kiyono Makoto finally remembered what he had forgotten.

"Um, the umbrellas are all set up."

Kato's light, airy voice reached my ears.

Kiyono Makoto looked around and found that the umbrella had been neatly folded and was now inside the umbrella holder next to him.

"When did this happen? How come I had no idea?"

"It was Kiyono who handed me the umbrella herself."

"I have absolutely no recollection of this. I suspect that Kato-kun has the ability to telekinesis."

"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary girl."

"..."

Kiyono Makoto followed Kato Megumi through the entrance hall and into the living room.

The overhead lights were bright.

The living room wasn't large, but it was exceptionally clean and tidy, filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Kiyono-kun, please sit down and rest for a while," Kato Megumi said softly. "I'll make you a cup of tea."

"Thank you."
