I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

　"Haitsuka Kyo! You deserve to die! I've been putting up with you for so long...

　How dare you do this."

　Aine paced back and forth on the terrace, her already negative mood becoming excited again.

　[Last time in the principal's office, it was only because the principal was there... otherwise I would have punched him on Chitose's behalf!]

　At least that’s what Aine imagined.

　She really wanted to punch that guy on Chitose's behalf. But at that time, she naively believed that school bullying could be resolved through peaceful negotiations, but the reality was that the parents' reconciliation made everything pale.

　Why do so many people in this country not take bullying seriously?

　In Chihaya Aine's heart, that restless flame burned and made her feel uncomfortable all over.

　"No, no, no! Last time, Student Council President Aine couldn't defeat them... This time, I must use a different method."

　Haizuka Kyo! This isn't the end of it!

　Chihaya Aine picked up the phone and prepared to reply to the other party:

　【Send your address, where are you? 】

　-

　Py——

　Ch316. The only way to end school bullying

　Those bastards just won't stop, right?

　Even if we let them go and negotiate with them, there won't be a good ending, right?

　Forgiving and tolerating these school bullies is secondary bullying of the victims!

　A raging fire was burning in Chihaya Aine's heart at this moment.

　"No, I can't bear to see it end like this. How can this be allowed!"

　I already regret not protecting myself well, and you actually dare to use the video to provoke me!

　"Huh?! That's... unforgivable."

　Aiyin only regretted not punching the other person in the nose in the principal's office that day. Thinking about the other person's arrogant face now really made her feel unhappy.

　"Before, I had my position and face to constrain me, but now I can do whatever I want!"

　I, Chihaya Aine, just want to stand up for Noshiro Chitose!

　"At worst, I can just transfer schools... That guy clearly has no intention of letting me and Sui go. Why on earth would he send me this video so late at night?"

　The more Aiyin thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She drank water and took a shower, and after trying all the methods that had ever calmed herself down, she realized that her heart was still beating restlessly.

　"Damn it! Even if I have to transfer schools, I can't live like this."

　"It would be fine if I was the only one suffering, but... Xiaosui will definitely not be let off."

　"If the school and my parents can't give me the results I want... then I will..."

　Aine twisted her wet long hair, an extreme idea brewing in her mind.

　She picked up her phone again, deleted the words in the chat box, and blocked the other party to prevent being harassed again tonight.

　"Haitsuka! Tomorrow... no, today at school, let me put an end to everything!"

　……

　"Mom, I might have to go home for lunch today...ah, and maybe you'll pick me up soon, so I'm going to give you a heads up!"

　"Eh?"

　Ms. Chihaya, who was clearing the table, blinked and instantly realized that her bold daughter was about to do something big.

"Then, don't let yourself regret it. Mom and Dad will always be your strong support. If there is something you really can't handle, please be sure to communicate with us."

　"Yeah!" Mom was as generous and understanding as ever. "But I want to do it on my own! I... never mind. I'll talk to you guys about it later! See you later."

　"See you later?"

　Aine felt saddened by her mother's confusion, and this time she was going to cause trouble for others again.

　But she had to do it.

　She wants to correct all the chaos happening on campus in the most wrong way.

　Even if it would cause the identity she created to collapse, she would not hesitate.

　When the cherry blossom petals were trampled into mud, Aine came to school early.

　Last night she tossed and turned again and couldn't fall asleep, but finally took a nap with the help of melatonin.

　"Xiao Ai? Good morning."

　When she saw the only student in the classroom, Chitoshi Noshiro, Chihaya Aine went up to her and hugged her without hesitation.

　"Give me a kiss, Sui Sui, I need a kiss to boost my morale."

　"Huh? You're saying something like that so early in the morning..."

　Chitose wanted to be more tactful, but there was no way he could stop Aine who was pushing towards him like a wild boar.

　"Ugh...be gentle..."

　After a long time, when their lips parted, you could even see a faint silver-white thread.

　"What's wrong with you today? You're like this so early in the morning, you..."

　"Don't talk, old man. I have to do something big today. My hands are shaking."

　Aine held Chitose's face just like she held hers yesterday. The victim's little face had finally grown a little flesh recently.

　"what?"

　"I've discovered I have a trick that can completely solve the problem of school violence... Sui Sui, promise me you'll live a good life from now on."

　It was like they were saying their final goodbyes, and the girls' whispers echoed in the empty classroom.

　"what?"

　"I've discovered that relying on others is useless. If I want to save you... the only way I can come up with that will satisfy my anger is...

　Next one! "

　People walked into the classroom one after another, and Chihaya Aine just looked at Noshiro Chitose deeply in the end.

　She was trying to keep Chitose's pitiful appearance in mind. This way, she would be more motivated to accomplish what she wanted to do.

　Sitting back in her seat, Aine tried hard to control her emotions and not show any excitement.

　"No, I need to watch yesterday's video again... If I don't act irrationally next, I'll get a headache."

　The bustling sound in the classroom was the best soundtrack for watching the video. Chihaya Aine watched the video of Noshiro Chitose being bullied over and over again.

　Every word and expression of the victim pierced her heart like a barb.

　[Damn it! Bullying can't really be resolved peacefully!]

　Should I choose to continue being a coward and feel guilty towards Chitose Noshiro for the rest of my life, or should I choose to be a hero, even for just one minute?

　[Of course I want to be Noshiro Chitose's hero! ]

　“Hey, Aine, what are you looking at?”

　Haizuka's voice sounded like the whisper of a devil, coming from behind Chihaya Aine.

　Her body trembled at first, and her head turned slowly and stiffly.

　"Oh, it's Haizuka Kyo... Tell me honestly, when you beat up Xiao Sui on the rooftop, how many punches did you give her in the head to give her a mild concussion?"

　"A dozen punches? I forgot."

　"Don't talk about this kind of thing in such a nonchalant tone! You idiot!"

　【Aine! Go ahead! Think about your Noshiro Chitose! 】

　She jumped up instantly and grabbed the other person's neck.

　She remembered the day when Chitose was held hostage by her adoptive mother.

　[What on earth am I doing now?]

　“Hey! Aine! What’s wrong with you two? Stop getting into a fight!”

　On their side, countless female classmates were surrounding them.

　They seemed to want to pull them apart like they did that day. But this time, Aine didn't want this ending.

　When she approached Huizuka with her trembling fists, Huizuka still had that arrogant expression on his face: "What's wrong, Student Council President? As someone who takes the lead in opposing school bullying, do you really want to bully me on campus?"

　"..."

　She's betting with me.

　The veins on Aine’s forehead and fists bulged.

　She bets me that I wouldn't dare hit her! I really wouldn't dare... But, Sui is waiting for me to help her! I'm her only support...

　"Yeah, you're right!"

　"But I'm not the student union president anymore! I resigned early yesterday morning!"

　"You bastard, prepare to be met with violence from me!"

　Chihaya Aine no longer hesitated and punched Huizuka on the head.

　Her heart was trembling violently, and time seemed to be moving surprisingly slowly at this moment.

　This was the first time in her life that she took action.

　[That's it! Even if it can only alleviate a little bit of the guilt...it's worth it!]

　Ch317. Are you willing to elope with me again?

　When that punch was thrown, Chihaya Aine was stunned.

　The extreme sense of impact and the extremely strong impact made her eyes dizzy.

　Aine didn’t actually feel very happy.

　She watched the girl who had bullied Qian Sui slowly fall backwards, but her heart was empty and she had no feelings at all.

　The crowd stopped, and the boiling and ineffective shouting stopped.

　Aine didn't look at the others, but everyone's eyes were on her, which made her understand what her classmates were thinking.

　[Strange, incredible, indignant...]

　This was the feeling she felt from the friends she once knew.

　They must have been confused, but they must have been very angry after seeing the student union president who took the lead in opposing school bullying "bullying" a classmate.

　"I...succeeded."

　This time, I completely defeated Huizuka Kyo

　and then?

　Jing, who was beaten so badly that he lost his way, knocked over the tables and chairs and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

　She was lying on the ground, just like Chitose who was pinned against the wall and unable to move in the surveillance video.

　“I really succeeded.”

　It was not until she said these words again that Chihaya Aine accepted the reality that she had used violence to completely end school bullying.

　【But, I also became a bully...】

　I became the kind of person I hated in order to make the person I hated disappear.

　Did I really succeed? I don't know.

　Aiyin had calmed down now. She was no longer breathing heavily, and the gleam in her eyes was fading.

　"Xiao Ai! Stop standing there! Come run away with me!"

　While Chihaya Aine was still in a daze, the white-haired girl squeezed out of the crowd.

　She stood out and grabbed Aine's wrist and pulled hard, causing the latter to run.
