Demon Capital Slayer

Chapter 149 Gan すぎ

The perfect temperature, the teacher's voice, the spring breeze blowing through the window, and a desk that's just right for lounging.

As drowsiness kept creeping in, Yu Jian rested his chin on his hand and let out a big yawn, not caring about his image.

For him, the idol image he carries as a pretty boy is a dynamic option; he can have it or he can disappear in an instant.

In terms of details, Yujian has always been indifferent.

A soft laugh came from the side, and turning around, I met Aizen Yurika's teasing gaze.

Behind the glasses, those beautiful, almost eerie phoenix eyes were hard to look away from. The white-haired boy paused for a moment, then pretended to be nonchalant and forced himself to turn his head to look out the window.

The wind is really noisy today...

I seemed to hear another soft laugh, even more subtle than before, yet it stirred my heartstrings even more.

Finally, the school bell rang, instantly waking Yujian up. He stretched and quickly woke up from his drowsy state.

This performance made the homeroom teacher, Shizuka Onizuka, roll her eyes. However, every time she caught him for a question, he answered it perfectly. Although he had taken one less week of classes than others, he did not seem to have any academic problems for the time being.

In response, Yu Jian could only say that those who withstand the intense testing in the examination hall, even if they later switch to arts subjects, won't be stumped by low-to-medium difficulty dungeons. At least they won't be unable to stump themselves with knowledge at the next higher level; they'd need to be at least at the next higher level.

Finally, Shizuka Onizuka had no choice but to point to her eyes and poke at the sword from a distance as a 'threat'.

The latter raised his hands in surrender; he wasn't ungrateful. This homeroom teacher was probably worried about his own studies and, incidentally, didn't want to see another student in his class skipping school.

After the teacher left, the other students naturally ran off quickly as well. They either went straight home or rushed off to participate in club activities. After a whole day of classes, few of them planned to stay in the classroom for long.

Of course, there are exceptions to this.

"My Lord, this is Amegami-no-Kami, she's a current shrine maiden."

Mikami sighed. He was already used to Yurika walking so silently. He had only heard one footstep just now, which was most likely the Rain Guardian that Yurika had mentioned.

Sure enough, a strange female classmate was with Lily by her side. The other girl looked rather reserved, standing behind Lily with her back slightly bent, as if she wanted to hide.

Yu Jian was somewhat surprised; he had some recollection of this classmate surnamed Yu Shou.

When she first learned to use her inspiration to perceive the outside world, she was one of the students in the class who was acting strangely. Although she looked easy to bully, her inspiration always emanated a faint, tingling, itchy feeling, like static electricity.

Recalling the information Yurika had mentioned, since the other party was a shrine maiden whose family ran a shrine, she might also be a practitioner with spiritual abilities.

"Hello, Amemori-kun." Mitsuru greeted him, but Amemori seemed to be startled and shrank back behind Yurika.

After taking a closer look, he noticed that this Rain Guardian was actually quite tall. Yurika was already considered tall for her age, but Rain Guardian Ruri was even a head taller than her.

I've heard that in Japan, girls sometimes bully other girls who are particularly tall, which is why the other girls are used to hunching over and walking with a stoop?

And judging from the other person's appearance, could they be socially anxious?

"N-Nice to meet you, I am Ruri Amemori. Please take care of me." After introducing herself in a low voice, Ruri Amemori bowed rather reservedly.

Her gaze swept over the sword, then quickly looked down at the ground, as if looking at it for too long would blind her with the bright light.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to have troubled you so much, Yurimori." Yurika turned around and took the shy girl's hand, then, before the girl could back down or run away, she naturally took her arm.

Then, Mikado saw that Ruri Amemori froze as if she had been petrified, and her hair stood on end like a startled cat.

But why did he hear a barely perceptible crackling sound in the air?
"N-No, it's nothing. Since it was Aizen-san who asked me to do it, I'll definitely be fine! It's just that I need to prepare a little. Is it okay after school tomorrow?" As she spoke, Ruri Amemori's face quickly turned as red as a ripe apple.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Amemori-kun." Yurika smiled and nudged Amemori Ruri's shoulder, who immediately lowered her head, her neck turning red.

What a shy child...

Yuken suspected that if Yurika held the other girl's hand for more than ten seconds, the girl might start emitting white steam from her ears.

"I...I'm going home to get ready!" Ruri Amemori shouted with her eyes closed, grabbed her schoolbag, and rushed out of the classroom. "Be careful on the way." Yurika Aizen waved to her retreating figure, but the latter stumbled and almost fell over upon hearing it.

"Lily Fragrance, don't bully honest people." Yu Jian sighed helplessly.

"Hey~" the girl drawled, her previously flawless, gentle expression replaced by a sly smile.

"Have it?"

If you say no, then no...

Mitsurugi was helpless against Aizen Yurika's ever-smiling face.

"Don't worry, I have a good relationship with Yu Shou, and he has even left his name in the notebook. He is someone I can trust."

Oh, it's the party in a contract who owes you a favor.

Yu Jian immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

"However, Sayaka seems to be in some trouble." Yurika tapped her chin with her index finger, while her sly smile disappeared.

"How so?" Recalling what he had seen and heard at the lunch gathering, Yu Jian also showed some seriousness.

"I didn't ask directly, but I inquired a bit with Nogizaka-san this afternoon, and it seems to be related to her gyaru friends." Yurika opened her phone and showed the message directly to Mitsurugi.

"If that's the case," the white-haired youth concluded after a moment's thought.

"We cannot interfere arbitrarily."

"so……"

At this moment, Mitsurugi leaned back in his chair, while Aizen Yurika sat sideways on his desk.

Suddenly, the girl bent down, closing the distance between them to within inches.

"Is there absolutely no option to 'leave it alone'?" Aizen Yurika asked softly in a gentle, melodious voice, lowering her glasses to reveal her captivatingly beautiful face.

"After all, they are acquaintances." Yu Jian's ears twitched, but he still looked calm, though his earlobes were starting to feel slightly hot.

"Moreover," the white-haired boy looked out the window.

"I hate bad endings."

"Hey~" Lily Fragrance stood up and squinted as she looked down at Yu Jian.

"So sweet." She gave a double entendre.

"But it's not annoying."

"Hmph." Yu Jian snorted disdainfully and walked towards the door on his own.

"Let's go."

"Where to?" Lily blinked, seemingly innocent and bewildered.

"I promised to stay with you," Yu Jian replied without turning his head.

"Yay~" Lily cheered softly, took a few steps to catch up with the boy, and peeked at his expression.

Yujian turned his head to the other side, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Aizen Yurika raising her folding fan to cover half of her face, her eyes full of smiles.

"Oh dear, suddenly the wound doesn't hurt at all anymore."

"cut."
