I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

　I want to protect Sui, but she's so fragile, she'll hide away and cry alone. I want to understand Sui, but she's so mysterious, no one knows where her injuries come from.

　And there are some things about Chitose that are very attractive to Aine.

　She is very real and sincere. She is the only girl who came up and accused her of being condescending and disgusting.

　"She's so funny."

　Click——

　The back door of the classroom was pushed open, and Aine knew who had come.

　"Sui Sui! Sui... Sui?"

　The initial surprise turned into astonishment, and Chihaya Aine looked at Noshiro Chitose in front of her with some disbelief.

　The other person didn't even look at her, but just stared at the ground, hiding his face with his drooping bangs.

　But Aine had already seen the other person’s face.

　"Wounds! More!"

　Chihaya Aine's exclamation echoed in the empty classroom.

　She stepped over the desks and chairs of other students and sprinted quickly to Chitose.

　"Tell me, have you been bullied? What exactly is it..."

　The hand on the other person's shoulder was slapped away.

　Under Aine's surprised gaze, Chitose's broken lips trembled a few times: "Don't... don't come near me. I told you a long time ago... you will definitely become unhappy... and so will I."

　"Chihaya Aine, thank you for taking care of me these days. But please don't worry about me anymore..."

　"Eh?"

　Why is this!

　Wasn't everything fine yesterday? This hot and cold feeling is really fatal.

　Aiyin didn't want to give up. She was about to say something when Chitose

　He looked so shocked that he couldn't speak.

　Qiansui's eyes suddenly became red.

　Tears soaked into the wound dressing and gathered into small streams on the scar.

　"Don't cry, I..."

　"Go away! If it's for my own good... I've already told you... Do you think being a little gentle won't make people hate you? Now let's make things clear... I'm a very annoying guy. If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, stay away from me!"

　The white-haired girl in front of him seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

　Aine knew that she shouldn't push the other person any further at this point.

　She took a step forward and stroked Qian Sui's hair just like she did yesterday.

　This time she wasn't slapped away by the trembling Chitose.

　"Okay then, I'll come see you again at noon today."

　"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I..."

　"I'm the president of the student union. If you have any trouble, you must tell me! There's nothing I can't solve, Sui Sui!"

　I'm the incoming student union president! Come and trouble me!

　Aine subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth when she mentioned her personal achievements.

　"You? You... Can you really help me..."

　No, in fact, the biggest help you can get from me is if you stay away from me.

　Chitose was alert and cautious, but Aine felt that Chitose at least trusted her.

　"Of course, don't you see who I am? I'm Chihaya Aine!"

　Aine continued to make many promises, and only then did she manage to appease Chitose.

　[It seems that the feeding a few days ago was very effective! ]

　[I feel like Sui Sui has accepted me, how wonderful! ]

　The immense sense of accomplishment that comes from gaining the girl's trust, the pride that comes from showing off one's position, and the moral approval that comes from exercising one's compassion—

　All of these things came together, making Aine feel like she was the "passionate person" her father had mentioned.

　"Sui Sui, see you at lunch break. Take a good time to calm down."

　"Actually…never mind, okay."

　Chihaya Aine grabbed Noshiro Chitose's hand and looked at the girl she had comforted. Suddenly, a strange thought came to Aine's mind:

　I am simply an angel.

　[Isn't what I'm doing now what the ancient knights would do?]

　The appearance of Chitose Noshiro is really great.

　She gave Aine a feeling of a hero saving a beautiful girl, a strange sense of strategy.

　It seemed that his appearance brought her salvation.

　A cheerful tune was playing on the campus radio.

　Aine returned to her seat, her palms still warm.

　So she started humming along, and that's what happened.

　Ch278. You really are not kidding me, are you?

　Chitose could never forget Aine's smile.

　This girl is so simple and her kindness is so pure.

　So pure that Chitose couldn't even refuse her.

　But in fact, rejecting her is the best decision, but Aine seems to have decided to take advantage of her.

　It's so difficult.

　……

　I am the system. I don't have a name, only a code name.

　My little host Qiansui calls me Tongzi, which I think is a very suitable name for women in their country.

　So I think this is the name that Xiao Qiansui gave me.

　"Tongzi?"

　The system, aliased as Kyo Haizuka, sat in its own seat, while also remotely controlling the role of "Chitose's adoptive mother".

　"Hey, Jing, are you listening to me?"

　Chihaya Aine next door was talking to me, but I didn't really have much energy to respond to her.

　I was so engrossed in beating Chitose yesterday that I'm not in the best of spirits now and I'm almost dead tired.

　"I'm here, Aine, what's wrong?"

　"I want to ask you something, um! I only asked you because I heard you are very knowledgeable in this area."

　Aine blinked and took advantage of the teacher's inattention to secretly whisper to "Kyo Haizuka".

　This is the last class before lunch break, which is actually the second class of the day.

　Kyo Haizuka tangled his fingers in her hair.

　Don't be envious, this is the arrangement in their country.

　As a system, she was envious to death. When she was in the System Academy and was system C137, she had to get up at five in the morning to attend classes and finish classes at four fifty the next morning.

　【I'm so jealous.】

　"What's the problem? Tell me."

　"Well, oh, I have a friend who wants to comfort her friend. But this friend is a little special, full of secrets that she doesn't want to tell. What should I do?"

　The friend you are talking about is yourself.

　"Leave her alone and let her die on the roadside like a wounded wild cat."

　"How is this possible!"

　Their conversation was forced to end when the teacher turned around. It wasn't until the teacher turned back to writing on the blackboard that Aine continued, "Is there a more reliable method?"

　"I don't understand, but actually, making friends is pretty much the same as falling in love, especially when it comes to the troublesome kind. You can search for dating tutorials online."

　Miss System said this casually.

　In her opinion, anyone with a decent IQ would not believe her nonsense.

　Haha, right, Aine, you definitely wouldn’t…

　Haizuka Kyo glanced away, only to see that Aine had fallen into an unusual silence.

　No, silence is not enough

　Rong's current state. Is she in deep thought?!

　"what are you thinking."

　"I've discovered that you're an absolute genius, Haizuka! If I were the president of the University of Tokyo, I would definitely award you a doctorate without hesitation. You're a huge help!"

　Aine didn't wait for Haizuka's reaction and started searching online.

　She really felt that Chitose was as difficult to capture as the heroine in the TV series in some ways.

　So, maybe if we change our perspective, things will really work out.

　[Become good friends with Sui Sui! Take her with you to move forward!]

　Huizuka blinked, then finally sighed with a smile on his face.

　"Humans are truly fascinating creatures."

　Cunning yet gentle, good at scheming but also easily schemed against.

　She turned her head to look at Chitose Noshiro at the back of the classroom.

　[Sometimes I feel like, it would be nice if there were more badass yet gentle guys like you.]

　【But I still hope you can keep your original intention. 】

　【Keep going, Chitose Noshiro. 】

　……

　"Sui Sui, do you think the miso soup tastes good?"

　"Hmm...was it made by Chi...Aine?"

　"Yeah, yeah, isn't it awesome?"

　"It's delicious... but don't look at me like that, it's a bit greasy."

　"How could that be! Those eyes are clearly filled with love!"

　“…” Noshiro Chitose moved to the side after hearing what Chihaya Aine said, widening the gap between her and Aine.

　"Hey! Are you disgusted with me?"

　Aine pretended to be sad. She didn't really feel much for such bland words. But she still hoped Chitose would say, "No, I don't dislike you at all."

　"It's okay...at least I don't dislike you now."

　Well, this answer is acceptable.

　Aine continued to use her chopsticks to finish her lunch, but she heard Chitose continue to speak in that sweet yet cold voice: "Thank you... for comforting me this morning. I wasn't feeling well at that time."

　"It's no big deal, it's just us two, don't take it to heart!"

　The sweet smell of rice lingered between her lips and teeth, and Kanae always felt that the smell of shampoo in Chitose's hair was more tempting.

　I really don’t know if it’s because the shampoo Chitose uses really irritates her or because... Chitose herself smells good?

　Not sure, I'll try smelling other places in Chitose when I get a chance.
