Chapter 19 A person who walks alone will also be worried
After a while, Watanabe Haruyo, who escorted Nazukahiko away, returned to the office, only to see Saionji Yuki sitting behind the desk, silent.
"Haruyo, you're back." The girl looked up at Watanabe Haruyo, her eyes no longer as aggressive and powerful as before.
"Miss..." Watanabe Haruyo wanted to say something, but when she saw her young lady's appearance, she just stood quietly.
"Haruyo, I'm a little... a little tired." Seeing Haruyo Watanabe standing in front of her, the girl took off her wig gently and slowly, and her dreamy silver-white hair reappeared in front of Haruyo Watanabe, "You also know
, if it were not to cover up my cowardice and become such a perverse and aggressive character, I would not want to wear it anyway."
"Miss..." Watanabe Haruyo looked at his young lady's eyes slightly closed and couldn't help but speak softly, "It's all my fault. I didn't notice Nazukahiko's actions and failed to stop him from entering the office."
"Don't blame yourself too much, Haruyo." The girl said softly, "We all know that this matter will be exposed sooner or later...it's just that it's a little early.
"But over Nazukahiko..." Watanabe Haruyo hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but mention it, "Miss, really want to withdraw the manpower and prepare him to fend for himself?"
In that case, the secret might be able to be kept—after all, my young lady didn’t take the initiative again.
"How is that possible, Haruyo." The girl gently held her hair beside her ear, her meaning unclear, "You know, I'm not such a cold-blooded person."
"I misunderstood what Miss meant..." Watanabe Haruyo bowed slightly, "But in this case..."
"From the reaction just now, Natsuka Hiko has proven his worth." Saionji Yuki shook his head slightly, interrupting Watanabe Haruyo's words, "In terms of resistance to pressure, reaction, and analysis, he is excellent.
"That……"
The girl sighed softly, "I'm just curious about how far he can go."
With that said, the girl put her pure black hair back on.
Witnessing his young lady's actions, Watanabe Haruyo was not surprised at all, "Then Yu Himuro..."
"I let her into the private psychology school just because I wanted to use her as a pawn to break the game." The girl's tone was cold, as if the aggressive acting chairman from before had returned in an instant, "But I didn't expect Nazukahiko's reaction to be like that.
Intense, so... desperate."
"You are so diligent and reckless...it makes me a little envious."
The girl's tone was a little disappointed.
…
Nazukahiko didn't know the subsequent conversation in the chairman's office. He only knew that when he left the campus, he was so weak that he couldn't walk normally.
But if you think about it carefully, this kind of reaction is perfectly normal. After all, he had just resisted the pressure from Saionji Yukie, forced Himuro Yuu out of this matter, and reached a rough equality with this young lady.
agreement.
However, when it came to facing the underworld, the girl still gave him a difficult problem - Watanabe Haruyo did not provide much help within the allowable range.
So in the end, he has to face it himself.
After walking out of the school gate, Nazukahiko found a random place to sit down in the surrounding area and marked out his own panel.
To be honest, besides being worried about the underworld, he was also a little puzzled that he could load two maps at the same time.
Didn’t it say before that only one map can be loaded?
Is this because the situation is too urgent, so the panel is stuck with a bug?
Or make an exception for yourself?
"Love Map: Exclusively for Yu Himuro"
"Decision Mission: Melting the Ice (The Beginning)"
"Branch (Part 2): Inform the school of Izumi Yuzuki's identity and declare that everything has nothing to do with Himuro Yu."
"Remarks: This branch is created with self-created option permissions"
"The fog exploration was successful and the reward was: 10 experience points"
"Although I failed to keep Himuro Yu's secret, I successfully saved her from being implicated and received a special reward: 30 experience points."
"Current experience value: lv3 (40/100)"
Well, this is Himuro-san's mission. Overall, it was completed successfully?
Looking at the words in front of him, Nazukahiko nodded with satisfaction.
"Shared mission: Find out what happened at Ranzhixi"
"Status: Complete"
"The mist exploration was successful and rewards were obtained: 10 experience points (from listening to the singing spring), 10 experience points (from melting the ice)"
Looking at the continuous text, Nazukahiko reacted.
The task on the previous panel that asked him to find out what happened to the Ranzhixi should have been completed when he learned the identity of Izumi Yuyue and gave his guess.
"Love Map: Saionji Snow Painting Exclusive"
"Decision mission: clearing the snow (beginning)"
"Branch (left): Change the topic and ask about hair color"
"The fog exploration was successful and the reward was: 10 experience points"
"Because I successfully guessed and learned the secret of Saionji Yukie, I received a special reward: 20 experience points."
"For successfully resisting the pressure from Saionji Yukie and countering the threat, I received a special reward: the title "Lone Walker""
"Title description: Walking alone in the dark always requires courage beyond ordinary people."
"Note: This title can be used when loading all maps, and the time limit is permanent."
"Current experience value: lv3 (90/100)"
"Because the map was recently activated, the original map was automatically overwritten. After this time, similar situations will no longer occur."
Before Nazukahiko could do anything else, the panel explained why the map could be loaded at the same time and then automatically dissipated, leaving only the scene before him that returned to normal.
A honking car sped past, waking him up while he was still thinking.
"Ha, if you succeed in contradicting that Miss Saionji, there will be so many benefits?" Nazukahiko put his forehead on his hands, his tone sounded helpless and funny.
He took a deep breath and stood up.
The board has already given him a lot of rewards. In a few days, he will have three skill points, enough to greatly improve his swordsmanship skills.
In that case, not to mention anything else, just in terms of fighting, Nazukahiko only thought that he would fight ten.
After some daydreaming and putting aside his worries, Nazukahiko mingled among the office workers after get off work at night and took the train back to Bunkyo District.
When he returned to his home, Nazukahiko stopped for a while and felt a little emotional - no matter what, as an ordinary exchange student in Kansai, facing the eldest lady of Saionji Temple, the experience was too thrilling.
Fortunately, he didn't show any signs of panic.
I just don’t want to be threatened and forced by Saionji Yukie, but this is a very real feeling.
And now, as a student who is about to enroll in a private psychology school, what he can do now is to gain a foothold in a private psychology school first.
Of course, before that, we have to deal with the gangsters in Bunkyo District.
After straightening out his thoughts, Nazukahiko took out the key and opened the door.
The scene in the living room fell into his sight and he was stunned on the spot.
Himuro Yu and Izumi Yuzuki, two girls on one side and one on the right, sat quietly facing each other at the table.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Izumi Yuyue immediately cast her gaze, but Himuro Yu didn't move at all, still lowering his head slightly, as if he had fallen asleep.
The light fell on them, one bright and one dark.
Seeing this scene, Nazukahiko stepped lightly, lowered his voice, and asked Izumi Yuyue and Himuro Yu what was going on.
"Nazuka...kun." Himuro Yu's voice finally sounded. The voice that should have been cold and composed was a little more hoarse.
"I thought Himuro-san fell asleep." Nazukahiko was stunned for a moment, "Himuro-san just fainted in the bookstore in the afternoon, so he should go to bed early tonight."
Himuro Yu raised his head slightly, but his eyes did not look at Nazuka Yan.
Nazukahiko took off his shoes, walked to the table and sat down, "Himuro-san, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
He casually looked at Izumi Yuyue next to him, only to find that the girl was constantly giving him looks.
Izumi Yuyue, what does this mean? Why are you giving me such a look...are you trying to remind me?
After thinking for a moment, Nazukahiko still couldn't understand, so he could only return his attention to Himuro Yu.
"Is it Nazuka-kun, are you taking the initiative to hang up on me?" Yu Himuro finally turned his gaze in Nazukahiko's direction.
Only then did Nazukahiko realize that something was wrong.
The girl's eyes were bloodshot and her lips were pale.
"Himuro-san..." Looking at her, Nazukahiko suddenly understood, "I hung up the phone at that time, just because I didn't want Himuro-san to be involved..."
"But...what's the difference between that and Nazuka-kun leaving without saying a word six years ago!" Yu Himuro looked at him, the emotion in his eyes that should have been as calm as water was indescribable, "And this time, I won't
I know if Nazuka-kun can come back safely!"
The girl's voice had a vibrato, and her body was trembling slightly.
Six years ago, when she was still young, she returned home and wanted to find Nazuka Yan as usual.
At that time, the girl had not thought about what she wanted to do with Nazukahiko, she just simply wanted to stay with him.
When she arrived at Nazukahiko's home where she lived alone, she only saw a note.
Daily necessities, clothes, books, everything that belonged to Nazukahiko and could be taken away, all disappeared, leaving only an empty room and her alone.
The girl was like a person falling into deep water, hoping that the note would be her bundle of straw.
Unfortunately not.
There was only one simple sentence on the note.
"Sorry, I have to leave."
Just a simple sentence made her, who was still struggling on the surface of the water, sink to the bottom of the water.
The girl holding the note waited until the sun set, until the new moon rose, until her parents found Nazukahiko's home and took her home.
From then on, Nazukahiko never appeared in her life again.
No news.
When I heard Saionji Yukie's words today, the girl's mind immediately flashed back to the helplessness she felt six years ago.
Therefore, she used the greatest courage in her life to say harsh words and threaten the chairman.
The call was suddenly hung up, and when she called back again, all she got was a busy signal.
Nazukahiko disappeared again, just like six years ago.
He worked hard for six years, doing things he didn't like, trying his best not to be left too far behind by everyone, and even joined the Shrine for him.
But six years later, a simple busy tone made the once lonely despair resurface again.
With the reappearance of Nazukahiko, she may gradually return to the colorful world, but she will suddenly turn back to gray.
The girl tried more than a dozen times, but got the result again and again that the other party was not connected. So she came to the living room and sat down at the table without saying a word.
Until Nazukahiko appeared in front of her again.
"I..." Nazukahiko was about to defend when he saw Yu Himuro suddenly stood up and was about to walk back to the room.
However, the girl's body was weak, and she had just been sitting there, so she lost consciousness and fell forward after just two steps.
Nazukahiko threw himself out of his seat and only had time to cushion the girl with his body, preventing her from hitting the ground.
He looked at the girl and didn't speak for a long time.
"Nazukahiko." Izumi Yuyue, who had been silent all this time, walked up to him.
"I'm sorry, Miss Izumi, can you do me a favor?" Nazukahiko's smile was a little bitter.
"Yes." Izumi Yuyue nodded lightly, helped him lift Himuro Yu, and helped him pick up Himuro Yu.
"Himuro-kun needs to rest. I have to ask Miss Izumi to take off her clothes." After sending the girl into the room and gently placing her on the bed, Nazukahiko turned around and said only one sentence to Izumi Yuyue,
He walked out of the room without looking back.
Quan Youyue looked at his leaving figure and pursed her lips.
…
After leaving Himuroyu's room, Izumi Yuzuki returned to the living room and saw Nazukahiko sitting at the table, looking at the light and shadow on the table in a daze.
"Hey, Nazukahiko." The girl stepped forward and gently shook Nazukahiko's shoulders.
"Ah..." Nazukahiko came to his senses, "Thank you so much for what happened just now, Miss Izumi."
After thinking about it, he added, "Whether it was the reminder with his eyes before, or helping me take care of Himuro-san later."
The girl looked at his sincere expression, and the words she originally wanted to say were inexplicably delayed.
Pulling out the chair on the left, the girl also sat down.
"Nazukahiko, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm?" Nazukahiko, who had continued to lower his head, looked at Izumi Yuyue after hearing this, "Is there anything else Izumi wants to tell me?"
"My identity." The girl bit her teeth lightly, looking determined, "I can't hide it like this anymore."
"Ms. Izumi has made up her mind?" Nazukahiko was really surprised.
He went to a private psychology school and experienced a lot of things, but Izumi Yuyue didn't.
The girl just stayed at home and stayed with Himuro Yu for a while.
"The way Himuro-san looked just now was really... really..." the girl thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable adjective. "In short, she was really worried about you and hit her continuously in the living room.
I called more than a dozen times, but none of them were answered.”
"Himuro-san's appearance only appeared because I hid here." Izumi Yuyue lowered her head slightly, her tone was a little low, "So I thought, since Nazukahiko, you and Himuro-san have not given up.
I, then I can't hide the secret."
The bloodshot look in Yu Himuro's eyes appeared in his mind, and Nazukahiko sighed, "Miss Izumi doesn't have to blame herself for this. I hung up the phone on my own initiative because I acted too quickly without thinking carefully.
