After Lin Xi and Yukinoshita Yukino left, a girl with long black hair and a girl with short golden hair walked out from another alley.
Looking closely, weren't these two Yotsuya Miko and her best friend, Yurikawa Hana?
Yotsuya Miko is a girl with yin-yang eyes who can see evil spirits.
The other is leaking life energy from her body, appearing like the brightest light bulb in the eyes of evil spirits.
It's probably Yurikawa Hana's magnetic field and Yotsuya Miko's own specialness that attracted the evil spirits.
Yotsuya Miko pretended to be calm as she looked around. Seeing that she couldn't find the evil spirit with eyes all over its body, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt that she had to find a time to ask Lin Xi for help. It would be even better if she could become his disciple.
She was tired of being scared by evil spirits every day, and she could be taken away at any moment. She had really had enough of this life.
Moreover, she herself was one thing.
But her best friend, Yurikawa Hana, had her life energy absorbed right in front of her eyes.
Watching her best friend become weak, she was powerless to do anything.
This feeling was too painful.
… … …
Back to Lin Xi's side.
He had already brought Yukinoshita Yukino back to Sakura Manor.
Returning to Sakura Manor again, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, she had just run away from here because of Sayu's words.
Now she was back again.
Her cheeks were burning, and she felt a little ashamed.
Ogiwara Sayu didn't point out her embarrassment, but just said with a smile, "Yukinoshita-san, I was the one who notified Lin Xi that you ran out."
"A school called [210 Soft High] has recently opened across from Suiko. The people inside all take being delinquents as a hobby, so it's best to go out with a companion."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded seriously.
"I understand, thank you."
If Ogiwara Sayu hadn't notified Lin Xi, she didn't know what would have happened.
She thought that being ostracized since childhood was already the most disgusting thing.
But today, she had witnessed the darker side of human nature.
Thinking of those dirty words, the lecherous gazes looking at her, and the malicious intentions, Yukinoshita Yukino's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing that her condition wasn't right, Ogiwara Sayu said:
"You're welcome. It's good that you don't blame me for saying those abrupt words. I'm going to cook. It's late now. If possible, I hope Yukinoshita-san can stay for dinner."
"Of course, it's all up to you."
After saying that, she left, leaving the space for Lin Xi and Yukinoshita Yukino.
Seeing that her face was not right, Lin Xi sat down next to her and said softly:
"Were you scared?"
"I'm sorry, if I hadn't invited you to Sakura Manor to take care of the cats, you wouldn't have encountered that kind of thing."
"What does this have to do with you? I wanted to come myself, and I ran out myself."
Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, not agreeing with his statement.
"I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you… I… …"
"It's good that you're okay."
Seeing that her expression had softened, Lin Xi also showed a smile.
In his heart, he was thinking that it was time to deal with those delinquents.
Some people become delinquents for the sake of being cool or to get attention.
But some people.
Like the six trash cans they encountered today, were obviously criminals.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him hesitantly.
Lin Xi: "Ask whatever you want. If I don't answer, you probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Then I'll ask."
She took a deep breath, trying to make herself look calm.
"Lin-san, what we encountered just now, was it a paranormal event?"
"Yes, it's probably because those people did too many bad things, which led to resentment haunting them."
"After I knocked them down, the vengeful spirits found an opportunity to possess them, but don't be afraid. Some people won't encounter a paranormal event even once in their lives."
Yukinoshita Yukino rolled her eyes.
How could she not be afraid?
It would be abnormal if she wasn't afraid in the face of this unknown fear.
"Then… what happened to those people in the end?"
Yukinoshita Yukino carefully asked this question.
Lin Xi glanced at her and said directly: "They disappeared."
"Hmm…"
Yukinoshita's younger sister pursed her lips.
"To be precise, I eliminated them. The vengeful spirits had already taken their lives. They had already become puppets. Staying in this world would only lead to more victims."
"Furthermore, I felt quite happy after eliminating them. Am I very bad?"
After saying that, he stared straight at her.
Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head, trying not to meet his gaze.
"Why do you feel happy?"
Lin Xi thought for a while and replied: "To be precise, it's a bit of a relief."
"The thought of them wanting to do something untoward to Yukinoshita-san makes me angry."
Yukinoshita Yukino's cheeks were slightly red, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
So, he felt happy about eliminating the delinquents because of her experience.
Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath and said to him seriously:
"Lin-san, I don't think you're bad."
"Those people deserved what they got."
"So, please don't take those things to heart."
Yukinoshita's younger sister was still very sensible.
It would be really stupid if she thought he was cruel because he eliminated a few scumbags and then distanced herself from him.
"Then, Yukinoshita, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Of course, Yukinoshita Yukino had questions.
For example, whether he could control and command the cats.
But that would be exposing the fact that he deliberately approached her.
She didn't want to do that.
If it were before, she would probably have asked directly.
But now.
Yukinoshita's younger sister had concerns in her heart.
Seeing her silence, Lin Xi said with a smile: "Since there are no more questions, do you want to stay for dinner tonight? Moreover, Sakura Manor has many guest rooms. It's no problem for you to stay for one night."
"No, I still want to go home."
"Alright, I'll take you back."
Lin Xi put Yukinoshita Yukino on the train, watched her leave, and then returned to Sakura Manor.
Seeing him come back, Ogiwara Sayu felt a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, Lin Xi, I shouldn't have confessed to Yukinoshita."
Lin Xi gently embraced her and touched her little head.
"It's okay."
"She'll find out sooner or later. You just said it earlier."
"Don't blame yourself. Instead, I want to thank Sayu for her efforts."
"Thank you for working hard for this family."
Ogiwara Sayu's eyes became moist.
She raised her hand to hug his neck and hugged him tightly.
"I don't feel tired for you."
"It's just that I thought too well. I thought that if Mashiro agreed, Yukinoshita would also agree."
"It seems that Miss Yukinoshita has a very strong sense of pride."
Lin Xi smiled, carried her to the room, and lowered his head to kiss her cute little mouth.
"Sayu, don't blame yourself anymore. Perhaps what you did wasn't completely useless. At least, you've been honest about the relationship, so it will be easier to accept in the future."
"Am I very despicable? I've been tricking Yukinoshita all along."
"Pfft, you know you're despicable, but it's okay. People will always stand by your side."
After expressing her thoughts, Ogiwara Sayu kissed him on the cheek before leaving his arms and going to cook.
On the other side.
Yukinoshita Yukino was naturally very restless after returning home.
Today wasn't without some gains.
The man who is about to be engaged to her really possesses a mysterious power.
Being with him will definitely make her feel very safe.
It's just that...
He's too much of a playboy.
And...
She thought of the reason Ogiwara Sayu mentioned, saying that even if she and Mahiru went together, they could only beg for mercy, and her cheeks instantly burned red.
"Tch... he's just a pervert!"
He even took the opportunity to hug her waist today.
Thinking of Lin Xi, Yukinoshita Yukino tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She hugged the "Mr. Panda" panda plushie, her eyes becoming erratic.
If he's really that amazing...
Wouldn't she be unable to withstand him at all?
Although she doesn't understand that kind of thing, she has a basic understanding.
However, her physical fitness has been poor since she was a child. Despite having good talent and being able to easily achieve success in everything, she usually has to give up after doing it for a while because of her physical strength.
If she really marries him... it seems she wouldn't be able to fulfill the duties of a partner very well.
So, Sayu's suggestion is actually the best solution?
