The Japanese-fear sorcerer who started by taking in Tomie

Fukagawa High School.

Yotsuya Miko's cheeks flushed slightly. She felt a little shy thinking about what happened that morning, but she maintained her calm demeanor as she walked towards the classroom with her handbag slung over her shoulder.

Good morning!

A girl with short orange hair and bright purple eyes pounced from behind, full of vibrant energy, and grabbed Yotsuya Miko's shoulders with both hands.

"duang"

The soft touch bounced clearly through her school uniform, causing Yotsuya Miko to stagger forward half a step before regaining her balance.

Yotsuya Miko didn't even need to turn around to know who it was—her best friend, Yurikawa Hana.

Good morning, flowers.

"Huh? How did you know it was me?" Yurikawa was very puzzled, and even deliberately spoke in a high-pitched voice.

Yotsuya Miko silently turned around and looked down. Her two breasts were so full that they almost swallowed up her tie. Her white shirt was stretched taut, outlining the rounded peaks below. With each breath, they rose and fell, and even had a slightly pinkish glow. Everything was self-evident.

"Because of elasticity..."

Lily Kawaka jumped back a little, looking somewhat annoyed, and pouted, saying, "Why are you being so cold to me today?"

No way.

"That's right!" Lily Kawaka tilted her head and leaned closer, her purple eyes blinking as she exclaimed in surprise, "Kimi, you look much better today! What good thing happened?"

"It's nothing... I slept well last night," Miko Yotsuya said softly, but the slight blush on her cheeks was hard to hide.

"Hey—Miko, something's wrong with you! You're not hiding something from me, are you?" Yurikawa Hana exclaimed, looking at Yotsuya Miko with suspicion.

"You're not in a relationship, are you?"

Baihechuan Hua covered her mouth, her eyes wide like saucers.

"No way!" Miko Yotsuya retorted somewhat excitedly, her face visibly flushed.

"Liar! Liar! Liar! Your face is all red!"

Baihe Chuanhua darted forward and stood in front of her, his purple eyes gleaming with gossip.

"Which class are you in? What's your name? Are you handsome? What's your personality like? Are you nice to me?"

"I already said no." Jianzi pushed away the face that was getting closer and closer, and then ran away towards the classroom.

At the corner of the corridor, a petite girl stood quietly.

She was no more than 1.5 meters tall, with a pair of gradient pigtails, the upper half bright yellow and the lower half light pink. The ends of her hair swayed gently with the slight tilt of her head, but what was most striking were her eyes. The whites of her eyes were pitch black and the pupils were blood red, like a pair of windows that could lead to hell.

She was staring intently at Miko's retreating figure.

I don't know what she's thinking.

Back in my seat, my phone suddenly lit up. A LINE message from Xin Hengyuan popped up: "Just in case, I'll pick you up from your school after class tonight. I'll tell you the exact location later."

Yotsuya Miko held her phone, her fingertip hovering over the screen for a moment before quickly typing a reply.

"Yes, sir!"

All day long, Yotsuya Miko was absent-minded.

She didn't pay attention to a single word the teacher wrote on the blackboard, had no recollection of which page she was on in her textbook, and even when Yurikawa Hana came over to chat during break, she just responded with "uh-huh" and "yeah".

Miko Yotsuya didn't know how to describe this feeling; whenever Shin Gen flashed through her mind, the corners of her mouth would turn up.

She held her textbook, but her gaze was fixed on the window, her fingers unconsciously circling on her phone, occasionally opening it to check Xinhengyuan's LINE.

The screen still showed their brief conversation from that morning.

Yotsuya Miko wanted to send something, but she didn't know what to send and was too embarrassed to send anything. In the end, she covered her phone with a blush.

It wasn't until the school bell rang that Jian Zicai looked up as if startled awake, but his movements were quicker than anyone else's as he packed his bag almost at lightning speed.

"Miko! You're definitely in a relationship!" Yurikawa Hana grabbed Miko's bag strap, her puffed-up cheeks filled with hurt expression. "Am I not your best friend anymore? You kept such a big thing as being in a relationship from me!"

Yurikawa Kato has been observing Yotsuya Miko for a whole day. Based on her years of experience reading shoujo manga and light novels...

It seems her best friend has been won over...

Lily River Flower: Sadness (

Yotsuya Miko was pulled back and turned around. The puffed-up face in front of her softened her heart slightly. She was silent for a few seconds before speaking softly, "Really, no, I just ran into... a senior."

"A very good senior."

Yotsuya Miko added another sentence.

"Met some kind of senior? What kind of explanation is that! Who was it? Male or female? What school? How old? Where did they live— um!"

Noticing the stares from her classmates, Yotsuya Miko quickly covered Yurikawa Hana's mouth. She leaned close to Hana's ear, lowered her voice, and softened her tone, "Hana, I really did make a promise with my senior... I'll explain later, okay?"

"All right……"

Lily Kawaka pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, but still agreed.

"Xiaohua, I'm leaving now. My senior is waiting for me. Bye-bye!" Yotsuya Miko hurriedly said this and rushed out of the classroom.

Seeing this, Yurikawa's face puffed up like a pufferfish again. Staring at the direction where Miko disappeared, she became more and more uneasy and muttered to herself.

"I really don't know who that senior is, he's got my daughter, Jianzi, all smitten! I've heard there are some scumbags these days pretending to be seniors to fool innocent girls, take advantage of them, and then dump them. What if Jianzi gets fooled by one of those guys? I have to go and see!"

Thinking of this, Baihe Chuanhua grabbed her schoolbag, slung it over her shoulder, and crouched down to carefully follow after them.

However, her tracking skills were really poor. She almost bumped into passing classmates several times, and her hiding place was too conspicuous, with half of her body exposed outside the notice board.

If Miko hadn't been so focused on keeping her appointment that she hadn't noticed what was behind her, Yurikawa Hana's hair and eyes, which were occasionally peeking out, would have been discovered long ago.

……

Shin Hengyuan stood next to the vending machine at the entrance of Fukagawa High School, holding two cans of green tea in his left hand. He took out his phone and took a picture of his surroundings, then sent it to Yotsuya Miko.

Not long after, that familiar figure was seen almost running out of the school gate.

Yotsuya Miko stopped at the door, looked around, and then ran over to Shin Hengyuan. When she stopped in front of him, she was breathing heavily and her cheeks were flushed, whether from running too hard or from shyness, it was hard to tell.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, senior."

"No rush, it won't be long." Xin Hengyuan handed her one of the cans of green tea, then opened his own and took a sip. "Catch your breath and have some water."

Yotsuya Miko took the beverage can; the cool touch calmed her down a little. She took a few breaths and held the can up to Shin Hengyuan.

"Thank you, senior."

"You're welcome."
