Her pink hair fluttered in the wind, and one could see the loneliness and unwillingness on her face from the side.

Kiyotaka looked at Ichinose sitting in his seat from afar, and understood what was going on.

I'm afraid she has been sitting here since they separated last night, otherwise her face wouldn't be so pale. It's obvious that she didn't get enough rest and was exposed to the river breeze for too long.

Kiyotaka walked silently to Ichinose's side, and seemed to notice that there was someone next to him. Ichinose came back to her senses and was a little surprised to see the person next to her.

"Kiyotaka? Why are you here..."

Kiyotaka stared at Ichinose.

"Should I be the one asking this? You look very bad, with dark circles under your eyes. You must have been looking at me for a long time."

"Oh, no, you have dark circles under your eyes?"

Ichinose let out a small exclamation and covered her face with her hands, as if she was very concerned.

But Kiyotaka just ignored this performance. He sighed softly and didn't want to ask if he needed help. He just took off his coat and put it on Ichinose before turning around and leaving.

Ichinose held Kiyotaka's coat in her dazed hands, which still had Kiyotaka's body temperature on it. She watched Kiyotaka's figure gradually disappear before she lowered her head weakly. Although she was speechless, two drops of crystal liquid quietly fell on her legs.

----

Time quietly came to February 10th, and it had been almost a week since the rumor about Ichinose spread. As it spread, it was no exaggeration to say that the whole school knew about Ichinose.

However, Ichinose remained silent and did not ask the school for help. He just lived his life as usual, as if the rumors were just rumors and could not be true.

With this attitude, many people's attitudes have changed from questioning to

"Ah, as expected of Ichinose."

"Rumors are just rumors, I just said they are not true."

"The lie is self-defeating." Wait...

Such an attitude.

The plan to frame Ichinose was foiled.

She successfully weathered this round of controversy by keeping silent, and many people turned their attention away from the rumors about Ichinose and focused on their school life.

Yes, Tiantai.

Qing Long looked at the silver-haired girl leaning on a cane and gazing into the distance, and he didn't think so.

"What's the matter with calling me here?"

Kiyotaka was the first to speak.

Sakayanagi Arisu withdrew his gaze from the distance, turned around and smiled at Kiyotaka with an ambiguous meaning.

"Qinglong, don't you think the scenery here is beautiful? It's like you can take everything in and have complete control of it?"

Qinglong poked his head out to take a look.

The teaching building is a fairly tall building, so it is no problem to say that it is in full view.

"Really? It's not that bad. There will always be some corners that are blocked and missed. No one can fully grasp it, right?"

Sakayanagi covered her mouth and chuckled twice.

"Qing Long, you are still so interesting. I am looking forward to the duel with you more and more. I really want the scene of defeating you with my own hands to come soon..."

"You change topics pretty quickly."

There was no expression on Qingtaka's face, he looked indifferent, and he was unmoved by what Sakayanagi said.

"Yeah?..."

Sakayanagi seemed to think about it.

"Then I'll jump again."

Sakayanagi bowed and looked towards Kiyotaka.

"I'll let Ichinose go for the next few days. After all, it's almost the 14th, and I want to concentrate on preparing a gift for you..."

Number 14?

Qinglong's mind was suddenly confused.

Others might know right away that the 14th is Valentine's Day, a holiday when ambiguity and love sprout.

But Qinglong had never had such an idea, so he didn't react at all.

As if Sakayanagi had seen through Kiyotaka, she walked towards the door with her cane while whispering softly.

"Qionglong, please look forward to the gift I brought you. I think... you will like it."

Chapter 193 Conviction?

After finishing a day of classes that were quite boring for Qinglong, Qinglong also returned to the dormitory.

To Qinglong's surprise, the entire dormitory building seemed noisy.

Kiyotaka saw Horikita who came back a little earlier and approached him.

"Why do you feel so messy?"

Horikita's expression was a little serious.

"I thought the matter was over, but... it started again. I don't know who put a letter in our mailbox. The method was the same as last time. I think there should be some in your mailbox too..."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong walked to his mailbox and entered the password to open it.

A folded piece of white paper lay there alone.

【Ichinose is a criminal. 】

Kiyotaka opened it and found only six very concise words inside. Moreover, this declaration was not as simple as a rumor, but more like a direct accusation of killing Ichinose.

Moreover, he actually used imitation techniques, which is really...

This made Qinglong's eyes slightly stern. After all, he just chatted with Sakayanagi in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that woman to launch an offensive again without stopping.

You really can't trust anyone's words...

"It feels like this move is intended to drive Ichinose to a dead end."

Horikita moved closer to Kiyotaka and murmured while looking at the words on the note.

"Who knows? No one knows what she is trying to do. And to be frank, this is also a form of rumor."

Kiyotaka responded to Horikita with a cold expression.

In this heated atmosphere, Ichinose appeared, or rather, was called back by the people from Class B.

She took the paper and just looked at it quietly, without any change in her expression.

However, even though he could clearly read the paper in one glance, Ichinose stared at it for dozens of seconds, as if he wanted to see through the words.

"Was this note placed in the mailbox?"

Ichinose gently held the paper and looked up to ask the classmate in Class B beside him.

"Well, it's getting too much. I think the whole first grade has been given it..."

Asakura Asako, a girl from Class B, came closer as if hugging Ichinose.

"Xiao Fanbo, let's not endure it anymore, let's just tell the teacher and let this person get the punishment he deserves!"

Unlike the vague word-of-mouth rumors, this time we have actual evidence. If we really hand it in, we may be able to find the criminal.

However, the students in Class B who believed in Ichinose Honami ignored a problem they didn't want to believe, that is, although this could indeed find the rumored criminal, but for the "criminal" Ichinose, was this really just a rumor? If what was said in it was really true, then this would simply be a road to push Ichinose into the bottomless abyss, right?

"It's okay, I won't care about such trivial matters."

Ichinose smiled at the people in Class B.

"But this will affect you."

The scary thing about rumors is that they can be unfounded, but as long as someone believes them, there will be people who will develop a dislike for the subject of the rumor. Over time, Ichinose's reputation will surely be greatly damaged invisibly.

"I'm sorry that my own affairs have affected you, but it's really okay, please don't worry about me."

Until the very end, Ichinose was still comforting the students in Class B, as if she was a problem solver who was not involved in the problem.

"I'm going back."

When Qinglong saw this, he no longer had any interest in reading any further, so he turned around and walked towards the elevator.

Horikita glanced at Kiyotaka, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she chose to remain silent and sighed silently.

When Kiyotaka walked into the elevator, another girl also walked in. Kiyotaka looked up and found that the girl in front of him with purple hair and a somewhat cold expression was Masumi Kamuro from Class A, someone Kiyotaka had met a few times.

"Which floor?"

Since Kiyotaka was standing next to the button, he asked casually.

But Kamuro had no intention of answering, so Kiyotaka just pressed his own floor and gave up.

When they arrived, the door opened and Kiyotaka walked out. To his surprise, Kamuro also walked out.

Is she here to see which boy?

That's weird...

"What do you want from me?"

Kiyotaka stood in front of his dormitory door and reluctantly asked Kamuro who had been following him silently.

"I have something to tell you."

"You tell me, I'll listen."

"I'm afraid of the cold. Can you let me in to talk if possible?"

He asked, but his tone was unmistakably threatening.

She would go into Kiyotaka's room no matter what Kiyotaka said.

"Ugh..."

Qinglong sighed softly, unlocked the door and walked in.

Kamuro looked normal as she looked around Kiyotaka's room.

"What a boring room."

"You force your way into someone else's room just to judge the style of their room?"

"Force? That means you allowed it, right?"

Kamuro sat directly on Kiyotaka's bed without any hesitation. She looked at Kiyotaka's big bed, and it was unknown what she was thinking about. Her face was slightly flushed but it disappeared in a flash.

"Permission granted... Never mind, what do you want to say?"

Kiyotaka sat on a chair and looked at Kamuro.

"I came to your room after all, and you didn't even offer me a drink?"

Qinglong ignored the shameless girl in front of him and finally compromised.

"Tea or coffee?"

"No cocoa?"

"....have."

"Then let's do it."

She is really a girl who doesn't play by the rules. Even though she has been given choices, she insists on creating her own choices.

Qinglong had no choice but to get up and boil some water.

"If you're so afraid of the cold, wouldn't the hall be a better choice?"

The heating in the hall may be more comfortable than in the room.

"I don't want to be seen chatting with a boy in public."

Kamuro refused without a second thought.

"So what is it."

Qing Long actually had no interest, but now that the topic had come to this, he had to ask.
