The smooth, fair little feet kept slapping.

She hugged her pillow and rolled around on the bed.

When Kirino Kousaka heard that her rigid father had hired a bodyguard for her, she initially refused.

Especially since the bodyguard was a boy the same age as him.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was arranging a blind date for herself.

As for the safety issues brought about by copycats, Kirino Kousaka had actually considered them.

So, after discussing it with the president, Saori, it was decided that everyone would go together for this offline meetup to avoid being alone as much as possible.

However, just as she was about to refuse, she heard the boy's name from Daisuke Kosaka:

Kujo Toru.

Isn't this the Grim Reaper Gao Yiqiu who Dad always mentions?

They always manage to find murders in all sorts of remote places.

It also provided a lot of inspiration for her novels.

Even the main character is based on him.

Kirino Kousaka had long wanted to meet him in person.

So she completely forgot her previous intention to refuse and readily agreed.

Instead, it left Daisuke Kousaka completely bewildered, as he was trying to figure out how to get her to agree.

But in any case, it was a good thing that he agreed, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

The night gradually passed.

The sun shone down on the earth once more.

Kujo Toru changed into his school uniform, slung his signature hiking backpack over his shoulder, and stuffed the bone sword and the divine sword into the bag.

She glanced at Suzumoto Mayu, who was clinging tightly to her collar, insisting on going to school with her.

After thinking for a moment, he ignored her struggles and forced her inside as well.

They simply left a slit in the zipper so she could peek out from inside.

"Behave yourself, you hear me? I'll check on your studies again when you get back tonight."

He flicked her and strode towards Soubu High School.

Even though he had only taken a week off, he felt like he hadn't been to school in ages.

So much has happened lately: the black raccoon dog, the Sesshoseki fragments, and even a trip to the Noragami world to become a god.

Looking at the familiar campus and teaching buildings in front of him, Kujo Toru felt a little dazed.

Upon arriving at the classroom, I hung my bag next to my desk and took out the book "Summer Fireworks" to continue reading.

He arrived very early; there weren't many people in the class.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that students began to enter the classroom one after another.

The air gradually became lively.

Many people took advantage of the time before Hiratsuka Shizuka arrived for the morning meeting to share their weekend experiences with their friends.

Some people, like Toru Kujo, buried themselves in books, except they were reading textbooks.

There are only two weeks left until the final exams.

As a college entrance exam-oriented high school, many students still aspire to achieve good grades.

A golden figure slowly walked into the classroom.

It attracted most people's attention in an instant.

Miura Yumiko habitually glanced at Kujo Toru, wondering if he had returned to school.

Since being rescued on Tuesday morning, Miura Yumiko has had complicated feelings towards Kujo Toru.

At the same time, I have many questions I want to ask him.

For example, what exactly happened to her that day? Why did she go to Chiba Park in a daze?

For example... what exactly is his relationship with that silver-haired girl?

But when she actually saw Kujo Toru return to class, all those questions were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't ask a single one of them.

This made her very irritable.

He could only pretend not to see her, ignoring the pink-haired ball of fluff who had greeted him, and went to sit down in his seat.

His gaze, however, would frequently fall on Kujo Toru.

Sitting next to Kujo Toru, Hayama took in all her little actions.

I have a bit of a headache.

Why have these two been so at odds since the third year of junior high?

You can't afford not to take the initiative, Miura...

With a sigh, Hayama glanced at the book in Kujou Toru's hand and spoke first:

"Kujou, long time no see. You suddenly took leave last week, did something happen?"

Yumiko Miura also pricked up her ears, waiting for Toru Kujo's answer.

Volume 1: Chapter 112 Natsukawa Masuzu: We're already in that kind of relationship.

"It's nothing, I just went back to my hometown in Shikoku."

Kujo didn't even look up, his gaze still fixed on the "Summer Fireworks" in his hand, and casually made up a reason.

Anyway, Hayama Hayato has been his deskmate since junior high school, so he knows about his hometown and will fill in the gaps himself.

As expected, Hayama Hayato assumed that Kujo Toru's grandfather, who stayed in Shikoku, had encountered some problems, which was why he had taken a few days off to go back and check on him.

After giving Miura Yumiko, who was eavesdropping, a wink, Hayama stopped talking.

Refocus your energy on the teaching materials you have.

With final exams approaching, he also needs to focus on studying.

We've already done everything we could to help.

It's not like Miura can just sit there anxiously without taking any initiative himself.

These are things you ultimately have to fight for yourself.

However, after receiving a signal from Hayato Hayama, Miura Yumiko did not take the initiative as he had expected.

Instead, they pretended not to see it and fell into deep mental exhaustion.

Yumiko Miura is a proud person.

From childhood to adulthood, they have always been the center of attention and the core of small groups.

She knew that this aspect of her personality was bad, especially in front of Kujo Toru, who never indulged her.

Especially after the major upheaval in the Kujo family last year, the two gradually began to drift apart.

She has thought more than once about taking the initiative to change the situation and trying to maintain the relationship.

But she could never bring herself to say it, and each time it would end up looking like she was picking on Kujo Tetsuya.

because……

"Doesn't this sound like I'm admitting defeat?"

Miura Yumiko muttered something to herself and bit her lip.

He sighed deeply.

Support your forehead with both hands.

It was rare for him to show a hint of vulnerability.

The classroom door was pushed open.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, wearing a white lab coat, strode in.

He first glanced at Kujo Toru.

Upon discovering that the other person was sitting there properly, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

He coughed softly and clapped his hands, interrupting the students' chatter in the classroom:

"Alright, stop it, it's time to get ready for class!"

Seeing that the classroom had quieted down, and all the students except for Kujo Toru, who was engrossed in his book, were looking at her, Hiratsuka Shizuka continued:

"Before classes officially begin, I have an announcement to make: starting today, a transfer student will be joining us."

"I hope everyone can get along well and help the transfer student adapt to life at Zongwu High School as soon as possible."

His words carried a hint of warning.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was well aware of the situation she would face if she transferred to the school at the very end of the first semester.

When social circles have established members, newcomers may find it difficult to integrate and may even face rejection.

In more serious cases, incidents such as emotional abuse may occur.

Although she was confident that nothing so terrible would happen in the class under her iron fist, she still had to remind these guys.

Only when she saw the stern expressions on everyone's faces did she turn to look at the door:

"Alright, Natsukawa-kun, please come in."

is her? !

Yumiko Miura frowned.

She recognized the new transfer student.

Last week, the other party kept an eye on the serial dismemberment murderer and went to the police station with her to give a statement.

Did you transfer here because of Kujo Toru?

A sense of crisis, from an unknown source, enveloped her.

Her long, silver hair danced in the wind.

Her exquisite face was like that of a fairy.

Her azure eyes were as clear as a mirror.

A gentle smile graced her lips.

The girl, dressed in the uniform of Soubu High School, walked up to the podium, her plump thighs swaying alternately beneath her pleated skirt.

Cross your hands and place them in front of your lower abdomen.

They didn't rush to write their names on the blackboard, nor did they rush to introduce themselves.

Instead, he first scanned the entire classroom and finally spotted the familiar figure with his head down near the window.

The smile on his face grew even more fervent.

She raised her hand in greeting, directly confirming Miura Yumiko's guess:

"Kujo-kun, from today onwards we are classmates."

In their astonishment, all eyes fell on Kujo Toru.

Kujo Toru remained silent, engrossed in the second volume of his novel, "Oblivion," and muttered a curt reply:

"Oh."

Natsukawa Masaki's expression fell.

It sounded like a complaint, but also like a pout:

"Can't you be a little more enthusiastic? We do have a secret relationship, after all."
