You say this is a love game?

"what type is it?"

"Chivalric literature! And the light novels that have been so popular in recent years!"

"Like, that's too much like it. If you add quotation marks to the resume, it can be turned into a light novel. I hope it sells well."

Just by adding these prerequisites together, whether it is knight literature, light novel literature, or otome literature that is more suitable for girls, Makoto Mizutani can come up with several sets of unique scripts in his mind.

But if these plots happened in the real world, they would seem illogical.

Mai Yajima obviously didn't realize this, but what was interesting was that there was no sign of grievance or unwillingness on her face. On the contrary, she was always in high spirits, sitting next to him and telling him stories, and even mentioned some "interesting things" inside the Yajima family... Makoto Mizutani shook his head and suppressed Mai Yajima's desire to share.

"Aren't you curious? That's the Yajima family's business."

"I'm worried that if I know too much, I'll be silenced."

"No, if someone really wants to attack you, just stand behind me and I will protect you!" The girl rolled up her sleeves and struck a bodybuilding pose as if to show off her muscles.

But this only reveals her fair wrists.

muscle?

Not visible at all.

What can you do with such thin arms?

Can you still be the Chicken Coop Superman in the second creation who likes to rape sensei whenever he wants...

He changed the subject and said, "So, you've left the Yajima family and are working at a convenience store to support yourself?"

"Yeah, and I'm lucky enough to live very close to you, Makotan!"

"Hehe, I was originally thinking about moving to another place, but now there's no need. It's rare that we live so close. Will you invite me to your home in the future?"

"Forget it, it will be bad for your reputation if it gets out."

"This is pure friendship!" the girl said righteously, "Does Makotan have any objections to our pure friendship? Or does inviting friends to my home make you, Makotan, have bad associations? Could it be... hehe~"

"Don't worry, I won't mind a boy living alone in an apartment~"

Is this person trying to provoke him?

Of course, Makoto Mizutani would not invite Mai Yajima to his house.

Apart from anything else, there's a zashiki hidden in the house...

Get off at the bus stop near the school.

Kubo Shinji was waiting for him.

"Yo, Makoto—huh?!"

This good homie with dyed yellow hair immediately turned around and pretended to run away the moment he saw Mai Yajima.

Humph, want to escape?

Mizutani Makoto immediately took a step forward and slapped Kubo Shinji on the shoulder with a bone-dissolving palm.

The latter turned around with an annoyed look on his face, and before Yajima Mai came close, he whispered very quickly:

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Why do you want to run? Aren't we good friends?"

"Bullshit! I don't want to be a light bulb. Go and be with your girlfriend. Let me go!"

"You're the one talking nonsense. You must accompany me on this journey."

"Mizutani Makoto! This is so unkind of you. How could you let your emotional problems drag me down...ah?"

"Hello, Kubo-san."

Mai Yajima poked her head out from the side and looked at the two people arm in arm with a smile.

"Wow, you two have such a good relationship! Such a friendship is so enviable."

Emphasize friendship!

Shinji Kubo's whole body froze, and he groaned inwardly - Sister, you don't want to defend against me too, do you?

Mizutani Makoto patted his good brother on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, my dear Shinji."

"Brother, stop making trouble."

"You don't even want to call me godfather."

"Godfather, can you let me go?"

"Do you understand what filial piety is? Is it difficult to accompany your adoptive father on this journey?"

Shinji Kubo, faced with the unkind Makoto Mizutani, simply gave up struggling.

The atmosphere among the three of them was quite harmonious.

But the atmosphere at the school gate was not so friendly.

A group of people held up red banners and gathered at the school gate, shouting prepared protest slogans and making a lot of noise.

Wow, you even dare to disturb the lives of young masters and young ladies?

Many students passing by cast curious glances and then started talking among themselves. Mizutani Makoto also looked over and was suddenly stunned.

"Takahashi Shugo committed suicide?"

PS: Why is [被丨灭口] a sensitive word?

Forget it, don't care

Chapter 036 This World is Too Dangerous

Takahashi Hidego committed suicide.

It was Sunday. While Mizutani Makoto was still fishing, the man hid in the house and committed suicide by cutting his wrists.

Makoto Mizutani still remembers him. He was the survivor of the "Thirteenth Staircase" and the only unlucky guy who witnessed the entire process of Kohei Sakamoto's disappearance.

After Kohei Sakamoto disappeared, Takahashi Shugo has been on leave from school and at home.

"To be able to take a leave of absence under such high pressure, Takahashi Hidego's family background must be quite good."

As a real rich man, Kubo Shinji's intelligence network is much more powerful than Mizutani Makoto's.

"His parents are in business, and he has an older brother who's in politics. If you've been following our recent city council election, you'll have seen his older brother's name."

"After spending so much money, I'm sure I'll get a seat in parliament this time."

To sum up Takahashi Hidego's family background, it is a typical case of parents being in business and children going into politics, and they have already made it.

Mizutani Makoto nodded secretly. Everyone who could enter this school must have special skills.

Kubo Shinji: "If it were an ordinary student, do you think he could stay at home under such pressure? Unless reporters and police break down his door, I wouldn't have any problem writing my name backwards."

As for the subsequent development, it was a negotiation and compromise between the Takahashi family and the Sakamoto family.

The pressure on Takahashi Hideo was basically borne by his parents. During this period, only the police could contact Takahashi Hideo, and the Takahashi family fully cooperated with the Sakamoto family's requirements, but the progress of the case was always stuck there.

"Then how did he die?" Mizutani Makoto was extremely puzzled.

Kubo Shinji came closer and whispered, "It is said that Takahashi Shugo has gone crazy."

"Crazy?" Mizutani Makoto frowned.

"He was indeed quite cooperative, but he kept talking about weird things and monsters. It would be a wonder if the police could do anything about him. And then he kept having nightmares. Every day when he woke up, he would say that there was a monster in his dream trying to catch him. In short, his entire mental state was not good."

"His parents hired a group of psychiatrists for him, but while the experts were still on the way, Takahashi Shugo committed suicide by slitting his wrists in his room."

The lucky ones who escaped from the ghost stories don’t seem to be so lucky.

In the last days of his life, he was still tormented by the fear brought by ghost stories, and even his nightmares might be real...

Others may not know, but Mizutani Makoto knows that there are demons and monsters lurking in this world.

Before Takahashi Hidego escaped, he was grabbed by a ghost hand by the ankle. He struggled hard to escape from the stairs, which led to the subsequent hot post incident. But now it seems that the ghost hand might not be some kind of mark. Takahashi Hidego seemed to have escaped, but in fact he was still on the table of ghost stories.

It just waits for the victim's fear to ferment, and then eats it with greater pleasure.

"Danger."

This world is so damn dangerous!

Makoto Mizutani didn't dare to think about it. Even he was powerless to resist the strange stories now. What a desperate situation it would be for ordinary people to encounter strange stories.

The terrible thing is, it seems like none of these weird stories are good!

Thinking of the scene of his heart being torn out last night, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but feel a phantom pain.

A strange story about inherent evil...

As Yajima Mai listened, she looked thoughtful.

She asked, "What about the protest team at the door?"

"Hehe, that's the result of the combined efforts of the Takahashi and Sakamoto families." Kubo Shinji laughed, motioning with his chin for the two to look over. "Takahashi Shugo committed suicide yesterday. The Takahashi family certainly couldn't handle such an accident... Whether it's a real ghost or someone deliberately pretending to be one, they want a result."

"Doesn't this demand overlap with that of the Sakamoto family?"

"The police have no clue what's going on, and the school is trying to keep the story under wraps for its own reputation by remaining silent on the matter... They couldn't bear such injustice. One family lost their beloved youngest son, and the other lost their only child. They didn't tear the school apart, but instead brought in reporters and protesters to put pressure on them. That's already very respectful of them."

At the same time, this incident also made the news and became a hot topic of public opinion in Night Light City, and it seemed to be spreading to other places.

This is really going to be a big deal.

Ye Jian High School can no longer be suppressed.

"Of course, if you ask who is the most unlucky scapegoat in the whole process, it must be our dear tax thieves." Kubo Shinji smiled from ear to ear.

"Whether it's pressure from family, school, or society, it will all eventually transfer seamlessly to pressure from the police. Let's wait and see how long it takes for the police to provide a satisfactory response."

"Bow and apologize?" Mizutani Makoto answered immediately.

"The kind with the clicky flash?" Yajima Mai agreed.

"Wuhu, you two look like a couple." Kubo Shinji whistled.

Facing Mizutani Makoto's dead eyes and Yajima Mai's delighted gaze, Kubo Shinji proudly put his hands on his hips, feeling so proud of himself.

"Why don't you praise me? My intelligence network is awesome, right?"

I was bored and just ate melons everywhere, and I created an intelligence network!

"Even if it's from another school, I'll still eat it!"

Kubo Shinji walked leisurely in front, while Mizutani Makoto and Yajima Mai walked side by side. The yellow-haired boy turned his head and glanced at the in-laws who seemed to be performing a romantic comedy, and smiled.

But as soon as he entered the classroom, he turned around from the front desk, holding his chin with a bored expression.

The students of Yami High School can be roughly divided into three types.

The first type is the rich kids who are rich, powerful and good at studying. These are the Celestial Dragons, the top of the food chain.

The second type is those who are rich and powerful but have no interest in learning, and are forced by their families to live a carefree life. Kubo Shinji falls into this category. He calls himself a "dandy boy" and bluntly states that he will never start a business in his lifetime, intending to live a carefree life on the mountain of wealth his father gave him until he dies.

There is no need to say much about the third category. For a top student like Makoto Mizutani who comes from an ordinary family, his main task in school is to study hard.

Mizutani Makoto twirled his mechanical pencil.

While he was doing his homework, Kubo Shinji was still harassing him persistently, chatting with him about some interesting things inside and outside the school from time to time, and even joking with him with interest, saying that there was a young lady who wanted to elevate her pure friendship with Mizutani Makoto to a higher level, and was hinting at him.

"What a beautiful thing this is!"

Kubo Shinji said this in an extremely passionate tone, and felt a piercing gaze. When he looked up, he found that Yajima Mai was holding her face with her hands, looking at him and Mizutani Makoto with "interest".

"Why don't you say anything?" Mizutani Makoto turned his back to Yajima Mai and didn't notice anything unusual.

Kubo Shinji said seriously, "Makoto, you're a man with a family, why do you care about what so many women think? Whoever she is, I'll block them all for you. Just let them come to me! So, let's talk about the girls' school next door."

Can you be a little more assertive with your technique of changing the subject?

Mizutani Makoto pursed his lips and decided not to bother with him.

He continued writing and came up with another perfect answer to a trigonometric function, which made Kubo Shinji's eyelids jump.
