Chapter 178 Yukino's Jealousy
In the morning, Xia Sheng woke up at the usual time. As soon as he opened his eyes, he sat up and reached for his phone on the bedside table.
There are several unread messages.
When I opened it, I saw that it was sent by Akiyama Rei and the others.
They just sent messages not long ago, all saying they're safe and sound, and nothing happened last night.
The black-mist people did not attack them again.
Xia Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. His guess was correct; for the time being, it would only attack from the outside.
However, Yui Hirasawa has not yet sent a message.
Xia Sheng wasn't in a hurry; he knew that guy was probably still sleeping in at this hour.
What happened yesterday won't affect her sleep.
Yuika Hirasawa possesses the most powerful single-core processor, allowing her to focus on one thing without being disturbed or affected by other things.
That's how it is with sleeping.
Xia Sheng put down his phone and got up to go for a run.
Running alone is quite efficient. He ran for half an hour, worked up a sweat, and then came back.
After he finished showering and returned to his room to change, Hirasawa Yui finally got up and sent him a message to let him know she was safe.
Hirasawa Yui: [Natsuo, nothing happened last night~]
Savior: [Just woke up?]
Yui Hirasawa: [How did you know?]
Savior: [Just guessing, Tainaka and the others were already up.]
Yui Hirasawa: [Hehe~]
Savior: [It's good that you're alright. Get up, it's time for school.]
Yui Hirasawa: [Mhm.]
After finishing their chat, Hirasawa Yui changed into her uniform and headed to school.
He bought some breakfast on the way, ate it in a few bites, and then took out his phone to check the news headlines as he walked.
There was no unusual news, but he did search and found what happened last night; someone had recorded it.
Xia Sheng clicked to check, and thankfully, only the black mist figure appeared; he wasn't there.
It didn't have much influence, and nobody believed it.
The comments section was full of disbelief, with people saying it was special effects, editing, and fake.
It's normal; it's hard to believe such things unless you see them with your own eyes.
Xia Sheng read the comments for a while, then ignored them, since nobody believed him anyway.
He soon arrived at the school gate.
To his surprise, the other students seemed to be laughing and excited when they saw him.
After thinking for a moment, he understood what was going on: it was because Shiina Mahiru hadn't walked with him.
Having not spent two days together, this group of people couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.
Xia Sheng didn't care and let them think whatever they wanted. After all, the greater their hopes now, the more desperate they would be later.
Just imagining their expressions of utter despair makes him incredibly excited.
Upon entering the campus, Xia Sheng made his way to the teaching building, changed into indoor shoes at the shoe-changing area, and was about to go to the classroom when he heard a commotion outside.
Looking back, a beautiful figure came into his view.
She was elegant and light-footed, her slender figure exuding a confident yet unapproachable aura, yet she remained captivatingly charming.
"Yukino," Natsuo called her name.
"Yes, good morning." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in response.
"Good morning." Xia Sheng walked towards her.
The two of them arrived at the girls' shoe changing area one after the other.
After taking out her indoor shoes from her shoe cabinet, Yukino Yukino paused and looked at Natsuo with suspicion.
"What's wrong? You want me to help you with your schoolbag?" Xia Sheng reached out his hand.
"...What are you going to do?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked in return.
"Since we've met, I'll definitely wait for you to come together," Xia Li replied matter-of-factly.
"No need, we're not in the same class."
"At least let's go upstairs together, okay?"
"There's no need, you can go up first."
"No, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"It's not convenient to talk about this here. We'll go to the Service Department later."
"What?" Yukino Yukinoshita took a step back, staring at him nervously.
"You're not going to... again."
?
She remembered what happened that morning, but Xia Sheng had taken advantage of her.
"What are you thinking about? It's about the Black Mist Man. It appeared last night," Xia Sheng explained in a low voice.
"Really?" Yukino Yukinoshita's expression immediately turned serious.
"Mm." Xia Sheng nodded.
"I understand." Yukino Yukinoshita handed him her schoolbag and started changing her shoes.
Xia Sheng took the schoolbag, his gaze falling on her small, bare feet after she took off her shoes.
Encased in black stockings, her curves were exquisite, petite and adorable, and her toes twitched slightly, as if she were trying to seduce someone.
Xia Sheng felt an urge to grab them and play with them.
I don't know if I'll have the chance in the future.
Yukino Yukinoshita quickly changed her shoes, put them away, and took back her schoolbag.
"Let's go straight to the activity room."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, her steps light but revealing a hint of panic.
Xia Sheng noticed that her ears had a faint blush.
It seems his gaze was too intense just now.
The two arrived at the service department, and Xia Sheng entered afterward, closing the door behind him.
Hearing the door close, Yukino Yukinoshita paused, then casually walked to her designated spot and sat down.
"The Black Mist Man appeared last night? Who did it attack?"
Xia Sheng sat down next to her, close to her, and replied, "There are five girls."
Yukino Yukinoshita glanced warily at their touching shoulders but didn't separate them: "Five girls? Who are they?"
"They're about the same age as us, students at the Yinxiu Women's Academy, and part of a small band."
"Band..." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned.
"That's all?"
That's all.
"Then your previous procrastination test was wrong."
"Well, it's hard to say, since this time the black mist man is a goblin in disguise."
"That's true... Why did you come closer?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him helplessly.
Before he knew it, Xia Sheng had rested his head on her shoulder.
"It's okay, let me lean on it for a bit."
"...Can you be a little more mature?"
"Just for a little while." Xia Sheng hugged her arm affectionately.
Yukino Yukinoshita struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free, so she gave up: "Fine, but you're not allowed to do anything else."
"What do you mean?"
"You know the answer already, so you ask."
I will try my best.
"You... sigh, how is that black mist person?" Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, unable to bear it any longer, and changed the subject.
She found herself helpless against him, feeling an inability to refuse him.
"They ran away." Natsuo replied indifferently, sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from Yukino Yukinoshita.
"They ran away?"
"Hmm, unlike the two black mist figures before, it didn't give up until it achieved its goal. It fought with me for a bit, so it probably knows I pose a threat to it."
"You mean...?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him in disbelief.
"That's right, it has the ability to make judgments and can think for itself."
"This is really..." Yukino Yukinoshita's expression turned serious.
A Black Mist being with a sense of judgment would be too dangerous for this world, especially if its primary goal is to destroy society.
The mere fact that it could arbitrarily disrupt society, harm people, and evade Xia Sheng in a guerrilla-like manner was something he couldn't even imagine.
That's too dangerous.
"Is it only targeting them?"
"It probably is. Perhaps it invaded this world with a mission. They might be very important. For example, they might become our companions in the future and possess special abilities," Xia Sheng guessed.
Just being the protagonist shouldn't be enough to warrant such targeting; it must be a special possibility.
So, does that mean there are beings among the invaders who can foresee the future?
"Companions...then shouldn't you protect them?" Yukino Yukinoshita changed the subject and asked in a calm tone.
"Yes, they are definitely important, and dealing with the Black Mist People is also a top priority."
"How well do you know them?" Yukino Yukinoshita continued to ask.
Xia Sheng didn't notice her odd behavior and answered her questions readily: "It's alright. I took them home yesterday and got to know them a little."
"Oh, you even offered to take them home? How kind of you?"
"I'm just worried they might be attacked by the Black Mist People again... Hmm?" Natsumi looked up at Yukino Yukinoshita.
He finally realized something was wrong; her expression seemed a little cold.
"Yukino, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much... Just answer me honestly, weren't those people cute?"
