Perhaps because the two sisters were evenly matched, Xingyue Ling felt that she couldn't suppress her sister's struggle with just her arm strength, so she pressed down on her sister, trying to use her weight to restrain Xingyue Feng.

Kitahara Sōsuke dared not respond, after all, he had just managed to appease Hoshizuki Kaede a little.

Xingyue Feng continued to struggle, trying to tickle her younger sister, but their hands were entangled and raised above their heads. She could only twist and turn, attempting to break free.

"You bastard, you've already taken mine, aren't you going to help me!"

The one who strikes first gains the upper hand, while the one who strikes later is at a disadvantage. Xingyue Feng was ultimately suppressed, and with their strength and skills being evenly matched, he could only be at a disadvantage without taking the initiative, and could only reluctantly call for reinforcements.

"You guys are putting me in a difficult position..."

Kitahara Sosuke is bound to be indebted to those he's taken advantage of. But how can you bear to take advantage of such a wonderful girl like Rin, who's been selling her sister and giving you freebies every day?

Kitahara Sousuke could only decide to stand by and watch, remaining neutral.

As a result, Xingyue Ling's hand seemed to have failed to grasp Xingyue Feng's wrist. Her sister seized the opportunity and pointed her finger directly at her waist, causing Xingyue Ling to go limp and collapse onto her sister's body without any ability to resist.

"Hmph, Rin, you're still too young!"

Hoshizuki Kaede glanced triumphantly at her defeated sister, patted her head in encouragement, then turned to Kitahara Sōsuke, about to berate him for "betraying the enemy":

"What's that expression on your face?"

Hoshizuki Kaede looked at him strangely. She had clearly won, so what was with that pitying look? She slowly turned her head, following Kitahara Sōsuke's gaze, her eyes finally settling on her chest…

It is seen as a ridge and a peak on the side.

The east wind prevailed over the west wind.

Countless thoughts flashed through Kitahara Sosuke's mind in an instant, but in the end, he could only summarize it as "There is no harm without comparison."

When some things are squeezed together, the outcome is already very clear.

"Lost!"

Star Moon Maple looked up at the white ceiling and felt that life was bleak.

"Hey, wake up, snap out of it."

Kitahara Sosuke chuckled and poked the other's cheek. Rin had already put away her divine weapon, leaving only Hoshizuki Kaede lying alone on the bed, contemplating life.

"You call yourself the older sister? Why are you getting angry with your younger sister?"

"You do not understand."

Xingyuefeng slapped the other person's fingers away and sat up angrily.

In the end, it was just a momentary outburst. Feng and Ling were such good sisters, how could they have a falling out over such a small matter? Before long, they were back to normal.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"It's much better. If Xingyue could blow on my wound, it might heal right away."

Kitahara Sosuke said with a grin, "I've been lying in the infirmary for almost an hour, and it's time for Toyonosaki Academy to let out for the afternoon."

"call……"

"I wouldn't... Ring! Why are you being so nice to this guy!"

"Didn't Sosuke say that this would make it heal faster?"

That guy is lying to you!

"I'm all better now! I'm completely healed."

Kitahara Sousuke stood up, full of energy.

"Hmph, then hurry home!"

Xingyue Feng grabbed her younger sister and hurriedly left the infirmary; they still needed to go back to the changing room to change back into their clothes.

"Wait for me."

Kitahara Sousuke followed closely behind the two sisters.

"You're not planning to peep into the women's locker room, are you?"

"No, it really was just on the way."

Kitahara Sosuke looked completely innocent. The men's and women's changing rooms were both at the very back of the corner on the first floor. He needed to change his clothes too, right?

"Hmph, that's for the best, otherwise I'll just call in the women's changing room and say someone stole something. With witnesses and physical evidence, I'll make you disappear from this society."

Hoshizuki Kaede said smugly, "The evidence is in the other party's pocket. All I have to do is search Kitahara Sousuke, and he'll make him kneel down and beg for my life."

"You're so cruel..."

"Each each other."

When Kitahara Sosuke and his two friends changed into their school uniforms and returned to the classroom to get their bags, the classroom was already empty. The sky began to darken, as if it might rain at any moment.

"Sōsuke, look—"

Ling picked up a strange, earphone-like object from the flower bed next to the teaching building.

"Hey, Ring, don't pick up unclean things."

Kitahara Sosuke took the earphone-like item from Rin's hand and examined it.

"Xingyue, are there any hearing-impaired people in our school?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this?" Xingyue Feng looked at the other person with some curiosity, then tapped his cheek with his finger and thought for a moment.

"There shouldn't be anyone like that in the second or third year, and it seems that none of the new students who enrolled this year have provided any relevant materials to the student council..."

Oh, by the way, it seems a new student transferred to Class C yesterday. I heard they have some health issues, but I haven't seen their medical report yet.

"Well, thank you."

Kitahara Sousuke nodded, his fingers clenching tightly around the object in his hand.

"Oh right, I suddenly remembered that I left something in the classroom. You guys go ahead, don't wait for me. It's about to rain, be careful not to catch a cold if you get wet."

"Who's going to wait for you!"

Hoshizuki Kaede retorted angrily, then turned and left. The number of boys who wanted to walk home with her could circle the entire Toyonosaki Private Academy, and this guy didn't appreciate it at all.

"Sōsuke, bye-bye—"

"Be careful on the road."

Rin waved to Kitahara Sousuke, then turned and followed in her sister's footsteps.

Watching the two sisters disappear at the school gate, Kitahara Sousuke didn't go back to the classroom to look for what he thought was "the thing he left behind." He rolled up his sleeves, carefully stepped over the outer vegetation, and jumped into the soft, damp soil of the flower bed.

"Oh dear, where did it fall?"

Chapter Thirty-Four: The World Kissed Me with Pain

"Hello everyone, my name is Nishimiya Shoko."

A girl with long, cherry-blossom-colored hair stood on the podium, a gentle smile on her face.

"I hope to use this notebook to communicate with everyone."

Her self-introduction was completely silent; instead, the sound of pages turning on a notebook filled the air.

"If you have anything you want to say to me, you can write it down in your notebook and tell me."

"I can't hear."

The girl bravely stepped out of the school for the deaf for the first time, and when she was about to enter high school, she chose a high school for ordinary people.

Her hearing impairment wasn't discovered until she was three years old. By the time her parents took her to the hospital to get a cochlear implant, she had already missed the best age to learn to speak.

So she chose to communicate with others using a laptop so that people wouldn't be scared away by her strange voice. Her long hair covered her hearing aid, making her look like an ordinary, cute girl.

She tried to smile, because she had heard that smiles can bridge the gap between people.

Most of the students in the class were as gentle as she had imagined. After class, many people gathered around her desk, and her notebook was soon filled with writing.

"Snapped!"

The sound of a balloon exploding, transmitted through the hearing aid, went straight to her brain, causing Shoko's body, who was packing her schoolbag, to tremble involuntarily.

"What? It looks like I can hear it."

A casual voice came from behind, and the boy with spiky hair listlessly tossed away the remnants of the balloon in his hand.

"Shoya, you're so stupid! How can you attend class if you can't hear me?"

Kazuki Shimada patted his friend Shoya Ishida on the shoulder with a grin.

"Enough with the nagging. I already knew that. I just wanted to expose her lie."

Ishida retorted irritably, then walked up to Nishimiya Shoko. He hated the girl's ever-present smile; shouldn't she be trembling like a squirrel at a time like this?

"Hey, aren't you deaf?"

As he spoke, Ishida roughly brushed aside the girl's long, cherry-colored hair by her ear, wanting to see what was wrong with her ear.

"Hey, Yiqi, I've found something fun."

"do not want!"

The girl subconsciously used sign language to stop him, but Ishida Shoya took it as disobeying him.

"Yiqi, help me grab her hand."

Shoko's hands were held in place from behind, leaving her helplessly twisting her body and shaking her head to avoid the other person's hands.
