Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

"Tokisaki-san, have you gotten used to the school during this time? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Facing the other party's question, Kuang San first showed a gentle smile.

"I'm used to it, ah~ah~ah!!"

???

The girl standing in front of Kuang San was also startled when she heard such a sudden and melodious singing voice.

"Tokisaki... classmate? Are you okay? Are you... feeling unwell?"

At this moment, Kuang San only felt that her body was constantly being stirred as if it were put in a blender. The flushing feeling that reached the top of her head from time to time made her feel like she had lost her soul in an instant.

She gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to do anything strange, and shook her head with a very forced smile on her face.

“No… hum… no…”

"Are you really okay? Your face is suddenly so red? Is it... a fever? Shall I take you to the infirmary?"

"No... I'm just a little tired... Excuse me, sorry."

After saying that, Kuang San left her in a hurry without waiting for her girlfriend's reply.

Shikimori Feng looked at the awkward walking of Kurumi, and walked leisurely to the female classmate.

"I see, Tokisaki-san does have a 'fever', so please take good care of the new student."

"Ah? Uh-huh..."

Chapter 134 You Must Be Responsible for What You Say

It was an agonizing journey, as if walking through endless thorns, and they were finally about to reach the long-awaited destination. Kurumi staggered, almost using up her last bit of strength to stumble forward, while Shikimori followed closely behind her, neither hurried nor slow, with a playful smile on his face, as if he was enjoying this silent chase.

An unprecedented anxiety was surging in Kuang San's heart. The short distance that usually took only a blink of an eye had now stretched into a long journey.

Her cheeks were stained with a sickly red, the heat was rising like a high fever, and the sweat on her forehead was dense, reflecting the swaying light and shadows around her.

Every step forward felt like countless tiny ants were crawling slowly on her skin. The indescribable itchiness and discomfort made her grit her teeth and clamp her legs together. Even without lowering her head to check, she knew that the shameful secret had quietly wet her clothes. The slightest movement would cause drops of crystal liquid to slowly slide down the curves of her body.

Finally, with her tenacious willpower, Kuang San dragged her exhausted body and arrived at a secluded corner of the campus, which was sparsely populated and a rare quiet place.

However, even this last safe haven could not prevent her delicate face from being covered with fine beads of sweat. Her eyes were empty and blurry as she looked into the blurry front. Her legs felt as if they were filled with lead and she could hardly support herself even for a step.

At this critical moment, Shi Shoufeng timely ended the heart-pounding prank, and light applause rang out in the silence with a hint of playful appreciation.

“Pah.”

"What amazing endurance! I must say that your perseverance is beyond my imagination. Perhaps, in different circumstances, this experience would be different."

There was an evil curve at the corner of Shiki Shoufeng's mouth, and his words were full of ridicule.

Kuang San forced a bitter smile, her face still flushed unnaturally. She leaned against the cold wall, slumped on the ground weakly, looked up at Shiki Morikaze in front of her, her voice a little hoarse.

"Ha...ha...I have fulfilled my promise. Now, can you let me go?"

Shikimori Feng's fingers gently lifted up Kurumi's chin, his eyes deep, as if he was savoring something.

"Of course, I'll let you go... today."

"today?"

Kuang San keenly caught the key words and suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Yes, I said 'today' from the beginning, didn't I? You were too nervous before and didn't hear it clearly."

Shikimori Kaede's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in Kuang San's heart.

Kuang San's whole body shook, as if she was in an ice cellar. She forced herself to calm down and re-examine the previous conversation. She suddenly realized that Shiki Morikaze had indeed not made a long-term promise. All the focus was on "today".

It was my own negligence that caused me to fall into this invisible trap.

"today…"

Kuang San laughed at herself, her laughter full of helplessness and bitterness.

It turned out that all his efforts were just jumping from one predicament into another more cunning cage.

"There's no escape..."

These three words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Kuang San's heart hard. It was her deepest despair at the moment, and also the cruelest reality.

At this moment, Shi Shoufeng slowly squatted down, with some indescribable intention. He simply crossed the obstacle and played with the whiteness at will, with a hint of playfulness in his words.

"Why are you so depressed? At least now, you have the right to bargain with me, right?"

Kurumi's body trembled slightly because of the indescribable feeling. Reason and resistance seemed to be taken away at this moment, and replaced by a strange sense of relief and an irresistible subtlety.

"Is it just qualifications? Logically, shouldn't you meet my requirements?"

Kuang San's voice was subtle, mixed with a hint of reluctance and anticipation.

Shikimori Kaede simply responded lightly, clapped his hands as he spoke, stood up leisurely, and left a meaningful back view to Kurumi.

"Well, that depends on how you understand it. I don't know."

There seemed to be an endless and deep night sky in Kuang San's eyes. Those eyes were fixed on Shikimori Kaede's receding back, with complex and indistinguishable emotions flashing in them.

She was silent for a long time, and finally, the silky and delicate voice slowly spread in the air.

"Let's... negotiate peace."

Upon hearing this, Shi Shoufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and an amused smile spread out at the corners of his mouth.

He lowered his eyes lazily, and the golden sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, sprinkling on his body in patches, adding a bit of arrogance to this young man who already had an outstanding temperament.

He lowered his head and looked directly at Kurumi.

"Negotiation? Well, this is a novel suggestion. Tell me more specifically, what does 'negotiation' look like in your mind?"

Kuang San took a deep breath, as if she was using all her strength to suppress the waves in her heart.

Although her voice was slightly trembling, it also revealed a kind of persistence.

"From this moment on, you go your way, I go mine, we don't interfere with each other, and we live in peace, okay?"

A playful smile appeared on Shikimori Feng's lips, and he slowly squatted down until his eyes were parallel to Kurumi's.

He stretched out a slender hand, and domineeringly lifted up Kuang San's delicate chin, and his sneer revealed a sense of oppression that was difficult to ignore.

"Oh my, Kurumi, excuse me, given the current situation, I don't think you have the capital to negotiate with me, okay?"

Facing Shikimori Kaede's provocation, Kurumi's eyes became increasingly cold, but in this coldness, there was inexplicably a bit of indescribable charm.

Although her voice was cold, it contained a strange charm.

"Don't get carried away too soon, Shiki Shoufeng. Do you really think you can be so arrogant forever? If not..."

Having said this, Kuang San suddenly realized her slip of the tongue, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and she quickly stopped talking, trying to lock the secrets that were almost blurted out back into the abyss of her heart.

Shikimori Kaede caught the subtlety in Kurumi's words.

"'If not' what? It seems that you seem to be hiding some interesting facts. Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist, Kurumi, you understand what I mean, right?"

Kurumi shook her head violently, breaking free from Shikimori Kaede's control as if she were breaking free from shackles.

"You'd better not give me any chance, otherwise, I swear, one day, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Tsk...

Shi Shoufeng curled his lips in disdain.

"Kill me? Yeah, I'll wait. But now...you should pay for your own actions first."

After saying that, Shi Shoufeng once again pressed the button in his hand without hesitation.

In just a moment, Kuang San curled up into a ball.

Chapter 135 Absolute Command

Watching Kurumi's helpless posture turning over and over again, Shikimori Feng's heart did not experience the slightest ripple. Instead, an inexplicable feeling quietly occupied his thoughts.

Suddenly, a fragment of memory flashed in his mind...

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have mastered a powerful skill that had not been fully utilized yet!

It was after unlocking the abilities of the Gokawa sisters that Shikimori Kaede accidentally obtained the powerful skill of "Absolute Command".

He has no definite answer as to the timeliness of this skill, but it undoubtedly possesses a power that cannot be underestimated and is enough to change the direction of many things.

At this moment, this idea was like a seed, quickly taking root and sprouting in his heart.

His gaze slowly focused on Kuang San, and a bold plan emerged in his mind.

perhaps...

Let Kurumi be the first test subject of this skill.

"Absolute command..."

Shiki Shoufeng whispered.

Following this soft moan, Kuang San, who was struggling in pain, suddenly stopped, as if she was firmly fixed by invisible shackles.

She gently propped herself up with her hands and sat up, her soft pink lips gently opening and closing, revealing a barely perceptible sense of emptiness and emotion.

The red eyes, as deep as the night, were fixed on Shi Shoufeng, with both confusion and hidden temptation in them, like two bottomless pools of water that made it impossible to look away.

Then, a tiny and indiscernible whisper escaped from Kuang San's lips. Although her voice was faint, it carried a strange magic, trying to penetrate the constraints of the air.

Although she tried her best to react, her body could only tremble slightly, as if all her strength had been drained away by this silent command, leaving only the most primitive and basic emotions looming in her eyes.

"So it works so well...?"

There was a hint of surprise and disbelief in Shi Shoufeng's tone, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He muttered to himself, feeling both curious and a little amorous about this sudden change.

Looking at Kuang San who instantly froze into a wooden figure in front of him, Shikimori Feng couldn't help but click his tongue.

His eyes shuttled back and forth between Kurumi's body, trying to find any sign of resistance or hesitation, but obviously, apart from the unnatural stiffness of her body due to the control and the slight tremors caused by the continuous maximum power, Kurumi's face was as calm as water, without the slightest ripple.

"Kuang San."

Shikimori called out again, as if he wanted to verify whether the scene before him was just an illusion.

"I'm here."

The response sounded mechanical and empty, as if it came from a distant place, having lost its original emotion and warmth.

These few simple words, like dead leaves dried by the wind, carry with them an indescribable sense of loneliness.

"stand up."

The commands are concise and clear, without any unnecessary embellishments.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kuang San seemed to be controlled by invisible strings. Her body suddenly straightened up and her feet landed firmly on the ground. Her movements were swift and precise, as if all the previous sluggishness was just an illusion.

"Two jumps?"

There was a subtle smile in Shiki Shoufeng's tone, with a hint of tentativeness and joking.

As soon as the words fell, Kuang San actually seemed to have received the most direct instructions. Her feet left the ground lightly, making a slight but rhythmic "bouncing" sound, and each jump was so precise that it seemed to have been carefully calculated.

"Call twice?"

This time the order sounded even more nonsensical, and Shi Shoufeng himself felt that this inexplicable interest was spreading in his heart.

And Kuang San, under this incredible control, actually opened her mouth, "Meow————"

....hiss.

Witnessing this scene, Shi Shoufeng was suddenly attracted by the absurdity and fun. The corners of his mouth rose inadvertently, and his eyes flashed with childlike excitement and surprise.

He didn't expect that everything would go so smoothly, nor did he expect that he would have such a strange fascination with this game of manipulating other people's behavior.

Especially the cat's cry of Kurumi, which made the emotion that Shikishoufeng had been enduring begin to spread quietly.

After teasing for a while, Shi Shoufeng had completely believed in the control effect of his skills.

No...it would be better to say that he had known it all along and just wanted to take the opportunity to settle the trouble caused by Kuang San's mischief over the past few days.

After playing the game for a full ten minutes, Shikimori Feng's attention began to drift away. This brief revenge did soothe his tense nerves, but who knew how long the effect of this skill would last?

It is more important to get the information you want to know and not allow him to delay too much.
