[Three-year Class E] Asagao

The woman's speed is extremely fast, and her figure is even more agile than Xingzhi's. Only the silhouette can be captured in the gap between attack and block.

However, what is surprising is that since her eyes turned blood red, the young man's speed and reaction have slowed down visibly to the naked eye.

And as if affected by something, his originally expressionless face suddenly began to produce strange twitches.

Akabane, the bystander who noticed this change, frowned, what... is it?

"Sure enough." As if she could hear the doubts in their hearts, the woman retreated after a blow, and explained after a certain distance, "It's just that this child hasn't learned to rely on his own strength to operate with the same blood, which is cheaper for me. ..."

She reached out her hand in the direction of the young man and grabbed the blade.

"Come back here, Xingming."

"Strive with the same blood."

Qian Punishment was gently vibrating in her hands, causing the surrounding aura to smudge with red-gold light.

As if avoiding those rays of light, the young man's eyes widened instantly, and he struggled to retreat, but his steps were chaotic as if he was caught by something, and his face gradually broke into a wavering expression.

Grasping the right time, the woman struck out the dagger in the opponent's hand vigorously with the handle of the knife. The severe pain in the young man's hand seemed to be still not as good as the struggle in his heart.

The ghost beam fell on the ground and made a piercing burning sound, hissing like a poisonous snake revealing its own letter, and the strange black air quickly diffused in the shadows.

She frowned, and with a flick of her hand, she threw the dagger held in her left hand in the direction of the two people next to her.

The dagger seemed to be alive, splitting the black energy that was attacking them.

But the woman just sighed a little unbearably, and held another thousand-punishment blade in her hand.

The bright red color dripped along the arc of the blade, and she smeared the blood in her hand on the surface of the ghost bundle. While the dark blade glowed with a moist luster, all the black energy returned to the blade as if it was forcibly contained. middle.

The white talisman paper taken out from nowhere tightly entangles the ghost, like a living thing, making it impossible to break free.

"seal up."

After uttering the word softly, the woman let out a long sigh of relief.

As if aware of the weakness of the young man behind her, she turned around and spread her arms, but at the same time that Xingming fell into her arms, Heyin's hands covered the other's ears intentionally or unintentionally.

Such a scene does not seem to be a suitable environment for dialogue. The two people who lost their words for a while faced the woman silently with a little helplessness.

Keenly aware of this, Harmony started the conversation.

"You are Xingzhi's teacher, right? My child has been taken care of by you a lot." Even in the question, her tone was very affirmative, and then the woman curled the corners of her mouth and smiled apologetically, "Although it can only be done with I met you in this form, please bear with me."

Presumably she knew the relationship between him and Xingming who used to be the "Grim Reaper", Teacher Kill rarely gave up all the words of greeting: "The matter about Xingming..."

"Since it's his decision, I don't intend to interfere, and I have no right to blame you for anything..." Combing with her hands, she gently combed the purple-black hair that was exactly the same as her own, and then showed slyness half-jokingly. "But when he recovers, Xingzhi must teach him a lesson."

As if hesitating for a while, the yellow octopus stretched out its tentacles in the direction of the woman: "...I'll take him to the hospital for a checkup."

"Then please." Looking defenseless, she nodded and handed over Xingming.

While standing up, she pondered for a while, and said softly: "...Thank you for giving him this not-so-good experience."

As if he didn't know how to react, Mr. Kill just froze his body for a moment, and then disappeared in place at Mach speed.

Such a not-so-short period of time was enough for Akabane to observe the woman in front of him.

Leaving aside her self-evident identity, one can indeed see that Xingzhi's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to hers.

An idea couldn't help popping up in his mind, maybe when Xingzhi reached this age, he probably would look almost the same as this.

As if aware of his thoughts, He Yin's gaze, which had originally raised his head, turned to him.

"Ah, it's you, Akabane-kun." Even though it's the first time I've met someone, but I greet him like an old friend. It's always a bit strange.

Perhaps, just how to call this point is enough to make people entangled for a long time.

"Don't be obsessed with that, after all, [I] here is not the real Shimizu Harmony."

"You don't have to answer the next words, just treat it as my self-talk."

Choosing to ignore his little confusion, the woman continued her story quietly with a smiling voice.

"As for the question of why I know you, the answer is very simple." She pointed to her heart and head, "Because this body belongs to Xingzhi."

As soon as the topic changed, the woman's dark brown eyes shone with a sly light: "But apart from these..."

"I know many, many other things." She picked a relatively flat stone and sat down, and she stared at him intently with her chin propped up, "For example, Xingzhi gave you that."

He narrowed his eyes with a smile, and seemed to be gratified: "It's actually not me who has kept her heart."

On the way of speaking, the color of the two thousand punishments in the woman's hand gradually dissipated and became translucent. Noticing this change, she murmured softly, "Well, it's almost time."

"Then goodbye, Akabane."

Although there was some reluctance and worry in the woman's eyes, the light reflected in the dark brown color was still gentle and peaceful.

"Thank you for breaking into her life."

"...?"

When she regained her senses, Xingzhi was still a little dazed, and she hurriedly wanted to stand up when she found that Akabane Ye appeared in front of her at some point.

The loss of strength became the biggest stumbling block at this time, and the girl's eyes showed the unwillingness of having more than she wanted but not enough strength, and she fell back to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the pain did not come from the contact with the ruins under her body. The hands stretched out in front of her hurriedly supported her, and then helped her stabilize her body with half hugs and half hugs.

"Hey wait..." Struggling with all the strength left, the girl's voice was hoarse.

He completely ignored her reaction, and the other party didn't give her a chance to break free. He used real strength but didn't hurt her. It can be said to be very cunning.

"...Well, you can't say much anyway in this state." Akabane lowered his head slightly, and approached the ear of the girl in his arms, "Then listen to me."

His hot breath sprayed on Xingzhi's ears, dyeing her ear pinna and cheeks a reddish color.

After those few whispers, the girl's face showed some expressions he had seen before.

That was the harbinger before she cried.

"You, you are really curling up and getting deeper..." With a hoarse voice, when she spoke, as expected, warm liquid flowed down Xingzhi's face, with a choked voice full of helplessness, "It's... there's no turning back."

She had no choice but to bring his life back to its original state.

"...I know." Rubbing the girl's soft long hair sideways, the young man kissed her hair, his rarely soft voice carried a smile.

"I asked for it."

After receiving the contact, Kazuhisa and Ichino rushed to Tokyo overnight from their home in Kyoto. Xingming was received by the best hospital in Tokyo for treatment there. To be on the safe side, Xingzhi also had a detailed physical examination there.

The wounds everywhere were very small, and because his mental state was still not good, he was pressed into bed for a few days as an injured patient.

It wasn't until she felt that it was time for her to start to grow mold and fungus that He Jiu reluctantly signed the discharge agreement.

Even though everyone came to visit her during her hospitalization, they expressed their understanding and support for her behavior just like when they treated Mao Yefeng.

For some reason, she was still at a loss, and she was still hesitant and confused about how to face them.

But in the third semester, Xingzhi still returned to Class E.

Not because she wanted to understand something, but because she had to go.

Contradictions about a certain issue intensified to the point where the entire class was split.

As for Mr. Kill, it is to save or to kill.

The Rescue faction headed by Nagisa Shiota, and the Killing faction headed by Akabane Ye.

All eyes were on her, and they were all waiting for her reply.Because of her choice, it is destined to provide a powerful trump card for one of the two sides, which will have an irreversible and unpredictable huge impact on the battle situation.

"Make a choice, student Xingzhi." Teacher Sha's voice sounded from behind her, seeming to urge her.

She opened her mouth: "I..."

The girl's clenched hands gradually loosened, and the waves in her dark brown eyes gradually subsided.

"I choose to be neutral." Her cold voice stated the cruel facts very calmly, "This battle must have a result. Once I use that knife, it will obviously be an overwhelming victory."

"For the sake of fairness, I chose to watch the game with the teachers."

Fighting with all your strength does not mean that the other students' confrontation with each other is not exciting enough, but what she looks forward to the most in her heart is the final fight between the two people who are at the center of the conflict.

The life-and-death struggle of assassins of different styles, in addition to worrying, makes a certain part of Xingzhi's body ready to move.

Unsurprisingly, there were only two people left on the field in the end, and the students who were "killed" all returned to the hillside where Xingzhi was watching the battle one after another.

The tense atmosphere made them nervous, and everyone was staring at the decisive battle down the hillside.

The battle was stalemate for a while, Ye and Zhu fought inseparably.

Even though Akabane's fighting skills are indeed slightly better, Shiota Nagisa's ghost-like actions are also too flexible and difficult to deal with.

They didn't use any weapons, and what the two had was a simple competition of fighting skills, in order to make the other party convincingly admit defeat.

Seeing such a scene, Xingzhi inexplicably remembered the days when the three of them were in the same class.

Both she and Nagisa are the kind of existence that others can easily ignore, even if the reasons are not the same.

However, Ye has always been very outstanding and extremely talented in all aspects.

If someone told her at that time that the two people in front of you would fight because of their different positions in the future, and she would tell her about the thousand punishments in her own body.

She must think that the person is not insane.

Because at that time, Zhu was so irresistible; at that time, she was also so alienated and silent.

But it's different now, they are already different people.

Slightly curling up the corners of her mouth, she looked at the battlefield down the hill and smiled, the outcome was decided.

The killing faction voluntarily surrendered, which was a victory for the saving faction.

The moment the battle was over, everyone relaxed, and chatted with each other without any barriers.

"Ah, what a pity—" Stretching her waist, Li Ying turned around and hooked Xingzhi's shoulders, sighing, "If possible, I would really like to have a date with you, Xingzhi. "

"Well—" Patting the other party's dangling hand hooked to him, Xingzhi said with a smile, "There will be opportunities in the future, and I am also looking forward to it."

Even though she said that, she didn't have the confidence to be sure.

Where is the day when I am sure that Qian Punishment can really get rid of me.

After this split, Xingzhi returned to her campus life half-heartedly.

Their friendship did not break because of the fight, but the fetters deepened.

All the staff began to search for a way to save Mr. Sha within only one month.A large amount of electronic materials and gossip were collected, and the reports were generally stacked on a table.

When school was over, Ritsu, who thought she had gone to collect other materials today, whispered to the girl in front of her: "...Xingzhi, can I take up a little time?"

"Well, yes." He Jiuhui is at the hospital today, and it doesn't matter if he goes later. Thinking of this, Xingzhi nodded, "What's wrong?"

"Regarding a certain space program that I recently found in the hacking project system, I may have found something related to you, Xingzhi..."

As he said that, a series of patterns appeared on Ritsu's screen, all of which were logos and badges of various companies without exception, and among them was the one that was the family crest of the Shinohara family.

It is estimated that it is the aspect of financial sponsorship.

"Hey——" Obviously realizing this, the girl dragged out the ending, and she turned the ring on her left ring finger, "What's wrong with this project?"

"Actually, I don't have permission after this step, and I can't crack it by force." A window popped out on the screen, separated by two horizontal lines, "You must have the key to get the files inside. .”

"Such a strict protection measure..." Talking to himself, Xingzhi moved closer to the screen, and Xingzhi narrowed his eyes, "I didn't expect that group of people to be quite thoughtful."

"Has Xingzhi always regarded the people in my family as idiots?"

"!!" Suddenly a voice came from behind. The girl who was immersed in her own thinking and didn't realize that there was someone behind her was startled, and quickly turned around to avoid it.

"Yejun? When and where??"

Ritsu replied instead of the boy: "As for Ye, he was there from the beginning."

"...Lun, did you know you didn't tell me?" Feeling betrayed, the girl's eyes twitched, "Did you all collude?"

"Because classmate Ye is very smart and understands your situation in Xingzhi, so I thought it might be helpful." Even though she was exposed, she still pretended to be aggrieved, which made her dumbfounded.

"She said so—" Seeing Xingzhi's speechless appearance for a while, Akabane smiled and pressed her shoulders, and gently pushed forward, "Anyway, let's see how to get this key first. ?”

Sighing, the girl's eyes returned to the screen in front of her.
