[Three-year Class E] Asagao

The members of class E who were still attending class as usual didn't realize what kind of incident was about to happen, they just sighed at the seat that was vacant again, with a little worry.

But they don't know that what needs to be worried now is not the girl far away in Kyoto, but themselves.

On the day of teacher Irina's birthday, the whole E class was very active in carrying out various activities that had been prepared, roses, birthday surprises...

The entire "action" arrangement is like some kind of blind date show that often appears, full of routines to the point of doubting life.

But everything was expected, until the so-called "old friend" suddenly appeared in their field of vision, on their teacher's podium.

No one knew how he got into this classroom. This man in a florist's apron easily escaped all the perceptions of their long-term assassination training and completely blended into this environment.

This person with a harmless smile made them all send out warning signals.

What he brought was an invitation to them all, though only a piece of paper with a picture on it.

"Huh? It looks like someone is missing?" While admiring the surprised and nervous expressions, the kind-faced man stretched out his index finger and nodded roughly, as if he had discovered something, but his tone was still brisk, " But it doesn't matter, she will definitely come."

At the same time, a girl who was waiting for the train on the platform in Kyoto stopped what she was doing, took out her cell phone from her coat pocket, and opened the text message notification.

It was an unfamiliar number, and on the display was the exact same map instructions that other Class E students had seen, and the signature was [Death].

In the past, when such ambiguous text messages appeared, Li would immediately find out the source and delete them completely, but today she was uncharacteristically silent.

"Ah." Thinking of a certain possibility, Xingzhi unconsciously uttered a meaningless syllable, and lowered his head to count the time.

——Looks like trouble has come to you.

Before the last ray of sunset was about to be swallowed by the horizon, Xingzhi finally arrived at the location on the map, and as expected, he found the two teachers of Class E.Seeing the sad picture of Teacher Wujian leading a ridiculously big dog disguised by Mr. Kill with a black thread, she suddenly felt grateful for the remoteness and difficulty of this place.

If it happened in the center of the downtown area, it might not be that tomorrow's headlines have already been booked.

"Teacher Wu Jian, Teacher Sha, they are here." She compared the pictures on her phone, and pointed to an iron gate not far away that resembled the entrance of an underground warehouse.

"Oh, student Xingzhi, have the matter been dealt with?" Wen Yan quickly changed the dog's disguise and returned to the original shape, Teacher Sha asked.

"Well, the timing is just right." Turning the phone screen to the other party, the girl raised her eyebrows helplessly, "Then teacher, can you briefly introduce the current complicated situation to me?"

"To put it simply, Teacher Irina and other students in the class have been kidnapped. Let's save them now."

"...It's really short enough." Putting the phone away, Xingzhi pushed the door open, "Then let's go down?"

It was the yellow tentacles/hands on the shoulders that were not allowed to dodge that pulled her back gently, and the voice of Teacher Killing came from behind her: "Wait a minute, Xingzhi, I need you to run for me as a teacher." leg."

"Eh?"

When she heard the content of her errands, the girl felt that she was really arranged in a vague way.

Ten minutes later, Xingzhi walked down the dark steps alone with a large bottle of tomato juice, still clueless about the use of this thing in his arms.

Although she could know the distance to the main enemy by the faint sound of explosions and fighting not far away, she still kept her footsteps as light as possible and lowered her center of gravity.

Before she stepped into the bright area in front of her, a voice full of guilty conscience and even low-pitched breath came faintly.

"Student Xingzhi——things, have you brought—"

Being amused by this playful teacher, Xingzhi slandered the teacher as long as you are happy, while throwing out the tomato juice he was holding.

Seeing the octopus reaching out like a treasure to catch the bottle and hiding it quickly, she couldn't help complaining: "Teacher, you don't have to be so guilty, those two are fighting in full swing."

"Yeah, it's better if the secret weapon is kept secret."

——Although I can't see why tomato juice is the secret sauce.

Sighing, before she had time to speak, she was strangled in the cradle by the gradually approaching breath behind her.

Xingzhi put his hands on the railing in front of him, turned over and fell into the same ditch as the others.

"...Secret weapon?" The man who suddenly appeared on the embankment muttered to himself, and then his eyes turned to the only person who could move freely here except himself, "Ah, is it her."

When Xingzhi was now under the same light as them, everyone realized that the girl was not wearing the same training clothes as them, but a seemingly ordinary black suit.

I don't know if it was too late to change clothes or it was intentional.

The glasses he had been wearing all along were also taken off, and the surrounding light was fairly bright reflected in his dark brown almond eyes.

Leaning on the cold concrete slab, she twisted her broken hair behind her ears with one hand, she was on guard but the corners of her mouth began to rise: "Secret weapon? That's really unbearable."

It seems that he is completely ignorant of the horror of the other party, and it seems that he has absolute certainty.

Originally thought that he would be in a state of facing an enemy but didn't want the girl to chat with him with a light smile, [Reaper] seemed to be slightly taken aback, but then he restored his smile: "No, no, you should..."

"Now, the whole class is here." Intentionally or unintentionally interrupting the other party's words, she spread her arms, smiled lightly and tilted her head, as if making some kind of invitation, "Then, Mr. Death, Are you going to lock me in together?"

"Then please?" Contrary to her light tone, the vigilance of the girl's whole body has not been relieved in the slightest.

As if weighing the pros and cons, the conversation between the two ushered in a few seconds of silence.

"Well, let's let you slip through the net this time." The man's eyes swept over her body, and when he glanced at the other students in the iron cage, he turned around and waved his hands as if confirming something. "Anyway, in such a situation, you wouldn't use it."

"It's just that when you disturb my plan, I won't show mercy."

The girl who read the opening and closing of the opponent's lips and pieced together the words, her brown pupils shrank.

[Sure enough...it is an existence that cannot be touched. 】

The attention of the others, after the god of death left their sight, they all focused on the girl.

Except for Xingzhi, no one seemed to have noticed the silent words left by that person's figure at the moment when he disappeared into the darkness behind the door.

After confirming the other party's departure, she slightly loosened the clenched fist at her side, and did not intend to delve into those strange words.

Because the source of the information in her heart can be considered to have some clues.

——Anyway, it’s okay for the time being.

"Xingzhi!" The girls all gathered towards the corner where she was, with obvious concerns in their eyes.

Observing her expression, Chino asked in a low voice: "Are you okay? After all, it won't be easy for someone like that..."

Shaking her head to show that she was completely fine, her eyes fell on the black collar, which was the thing that made all the students unable to let go from the very beginning.

"Compared to my situation, this." She pointed to her neck, "It would be better to remove it as soon as possible."

Because I don't know when that man will detonate it, which is considered extremely dangerous.

"Teacher, can you dismantle it?" Hearing this, the boys and girls all turned their gazes to the yellow octopus standing in the middle, their eyes sparkling with anticipation of its omnipotence.

However, before the head-scratching octopus could answer, a voice suddenly appeared, which was somewhat abrupt in the silence.

"Shimizu, help me untie the thing on my hand, I already know how to disassemble that."

Facing the young man walking towards him through the railing, Xingzhi blinked in surprise, but he took out a small knife similar to a dagger from the pocket of his suit without slowing down.

Killing Teacher's tentacles slapped on the ground, as if expressing dissatisfaction: "Student Xingzhi, you carry such a dangerous weapon with you!!"

"...Teacher, is this the time to worry about this?" The girl who was too lazy to slander [I have more dangerous things you don't know] neatly broke the restraints of several others, and then handed them the knife Show yourself.

After a crisp click, he pinched the collar that had been broken into two halves, and there was a rare excitement in the threaded voice: "...it succeeded."

The excited voice of Terasaka next to him doubled again: "Oh, you made it! It's amazing!"

Xingzhi believed that if his hands hadn't been tied, he would have jumped up and slapped Shito to show his excitement, and then strangled Shito's neck or something.

——I didn’t expect violent dismantling to be effective, what was the killer who claimed to be the god of death thinking...

Looking at the location of the monitoring room upstairs, her mood suddenly became a little complicated.

——Is it too conceited and negligent?

At any rate, with the efforts of Mr. Wujian, the killer on the opposite side was knocked down.

Xingzhi also witnessed the use of that secret weapon. Tomato juice was used as fake blood to deceive the opponent, so that now there was a faint smell of tomato in the humid air.

——Did Teacher Emotional Killer know that he would have such a trick?

--So……

Folding her arms around her chest, the girl fell into some terrible thoughts.

After dealing with these matters and successfully bringing Teacher Irina back, they planned to disband on the spot.

Akabane, who went home with Xingzhi, walked casually beside the thoughtful girl as a matter of course.

It seemed that she had ended all her thoughts, and she finally got out of her inner world.

When she found the boy next to her, she was a little frightened: "...Huh!"

"Did you just find out?" The boy glanced over with a smile, "I almost followed you all the way."

The girl who was talking about her missteps and mistakes hadn't had time to turn her head around and come up with a few normal topics before she was answered by the other party's question.

"Ah, come to think of it, Xingzhi, what does that sentence mean?"

"Eh?" Xingzhi, who chose to play dumb and tried to fool him, erected the invisible warning antenna on his head.

Seeing through her thoughts, he clearly pointed out: "It's that god of death, the one left behind, the unspoken sentence."

"Ah...you saw it." She curled her lips, knowing that the other party was inquisitive about such matters, Xingzhi chose to compromise, "[Untouchable person] means what you know. "

The girl's dark brown eyes were obscured by the shadow cast by the night, she stared at her palm, and then curled up the corners of her mouth into a meaningless smile.

"In short, it's like this, an extremely unstable existence that can easily hurt others."

Akabane was a little surprised by the change in her attitude, but he felt a little relieved about her current situation.

It's just another situation he considered, if she tried her best to pretend to be relieved on the surface, and suppressed her heart even more...

Maybe the day when she collapses is not far away.

"Yejun? What are you thinking?" Xingzhi asked, noticing that the eyes of the people around him froze for a moment.

Maybe it was a little evil, so he said it to her clearly: "I was thinking about it, and you suddenly became so relieved about that reason."

Wen Yan Xingzhi pursed her lips, but unexpectedly, she answered without hesitation: "Ah, you said this."

"Probably because I think it's not worth paying too much attention to. It's better to enjoy campus life or something..."

"Anyway, now, as long as there are no excessive negative emotions, I can still control it."

——But if something really happened, someone would fix it.

The girl in black shrugged her shoulders with a relaxed tone, but her eyes were extremely serious as she stared at him.

Faced with the same question, she had obviously come up with a different answer, and she was a different person from when she was crying in front of the hotel room.

"But Yejun, don't act rashly like last time, or if you really hurt you, I won't be responsible."

After hearing her words, the boy was taken aback for a moment, and then took advantage of the height difference to pat the top of the girl's hair very smoothly. It seemed that the hand felt very good, and he deliberately rubbed the soft hair twice. , his eyes fell on the face of the other party who was both ashamed and annoyed, and he chuckled softly.

"... As I said a long time ago, I will take responsibility for my own decision."

——So even if you hurt me, don't care about it.

After reading the meaning of his words, Xingzhi didn't laugh at and refute the other party's stubbornness and refusal to persuade, because she knew that she was also such a person in some respects.

She just smiled quietly and rolled her eyes, watching the streetlights stretching the shadows of the two of them backwards. The little extravagance in her heart was that the road could be a little longer, and a little longer.

If it is true as what Kazuhisa said, the current situation...

The scene that the other party would most likely not want to see was for her to continue living unwaveringly.

Then why did she bother to muddle along, not to mention her current life is considered nourishing.

【You don't want to fight it all by yourself, Xingzhi, you are still a child after all. 】

[Although it is up to me to say that something is wrong, my sister must also think so. 】

【The matter about Xingming is really not your fault, so stop blaming yourself. 】

[There is no one around you, you have to remember. 】

【You are……】

There are many ordinary companions around her, and there are also many things that she loves deeply.

She should be glad.

The author has something to say:

The girl finally begins to feel that she should cherish what she has now!Although her current state of mind can be regarded as a different kind of broken pot in a certain way, that's right hahahahahahaha
