Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

Except for combat.

"Then I'll leave this to you, Rope!"

"Of course, I'm not here for paddling."

Watching Elquite walk into his room with brisk steps, Rope also picked up a random room with his "trophy" and pushed the door in.

Chapter [-] The Raven

Tono Shiki woke up at around two in the morning.

The young man shook his groggy head, struggling to get up.Later, he found that his body was like a rusted machine, making an overloaded sound with just a little movement.The pain in the left arm bone made him gasp for breath as he gradually regained consciousness.

……What's wrong with me.

Giving up the struggle, Tono Shiki lay on the bed, subconsciously took out his glasses from his chest and put them on, then opened his eyes with peace of mind to look at the unfamiliar ceiling and recalled.

On the way out of school, I saw a man and a woman. The woman had blond hair and red pupils. She had an inexplicable impulse...

Memories are interrupted here.

No matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember what happened after that, including why he slept in this expensive-looking hotel room.

"Yes, you are the best one among the people who came here this time." A cold voice came.

Tono Shiki turned his head, and a black-haired young man was sitting on a chair by the window, holding a hardcover book in his hand.

Whether it is a handsome face or that sitting posture, it gives people a feeling of "elegance".

The youth's icy expression collapsed after a few seconds, revealing a smile that couldn't help but laugh.

"Just kidding, please don't care. I don't know why, but looking at your current situation, I really want to say this sentence, the feeling of a famous line."

"……Who are you?"

This young man... the one who walked with that blond girl in the afternoon?

The familiar feeling made Tono Shiki quickly recognize Rope. After all, those highly recognizable blue eyes will have a deep impression even if they have seen them once.

"You can call me Rope."

Rope didn't explain much about his identity.

He closed the book, placed it on the round table next to him, and poured himself a glass of red wine—it was the ordinary red wine sold by the hotel, not a very expensive brand.

he said slowly.

"I've finished my self-introduction. Now, Mr. Tono Shiki, let's talk about you. Illegal stalking, entering private territory without consent, and attempted murder with a controlled knife. You shouldn't deny these charges, right? Criminal, you now rightly owe me the victim favor—the favor for not handing you over to the police. And then…”

"wait wait wait!"

Tono Shiki hurriedly spoke up.

A series of big, bad-sounding hats snapped down, even if they weren't awake, they should have woken up.

"What are you talking about?" The boy looked at Rope inexplicably.

"How could I do these things. After all, you just said your name in the self-introduction just now, right? Why do you know my name, why I am here, and the logical relationship between you didn't explain it at all! I just Just an ordinary high school student..."

As if the "chaos buff" had been applied, Tono Shiki's head was a mess.

"Ordinary high school students? Will ordinary high school students cut people with knives like mad dogs? It looks like they plan to divide me into seventeen."

Rope pointed to Tono Shiki's side with a smile.

Only then did the young man realize that the "Seven Nights" knife, which he hardly left his body, was lying quietly on the table by the bed.

"If you admit that's what the average high school student would do, then I would have doubts about the basic common sense of the world."

Rope's words stopped.

Looking into Shiki Tono's eyes, he realized that the other party may have lost the memory of the attack.

Immediately, Rope lost his interest in continuing to run trains and pretend.

Talking about mistakes for profit with a person who has amnesia is like playing the piano to a cow.The other party didn't even remember what he did, and what else did he say.

"...Forget it, it's just a small matter anyway, if you don't remember it, forget it."

he said with a sigh.

"Take it as an inexplicable chance encounter. Mr. Tono Shiki, no matter what happened before, with your physical condition, it's best to rest here tonight, and I will send you back to Tono's house tomorrow. At that time, I will explain in detail with your sister, the owner of Tono."

"Hey--"

Ignoring Tohno Shiki's call, Rope stopped, turned and left the room.

Leaving a question mark full of Tono Shiki.

……

Go to Elquite's room and knock on the door.

The blond Vampire Princess didn't sleep. The True Ancestor is the same as Rope. Unless it is necessary and conscious, sleep can be ignored.

Judging from Elquette's appearance, it should have been expected that Rope would come to her. The expression on the door was very natural, and there was no embarrassment of "being alone with adult men late at night".

Waiting for Rope to sit down, Vampire Ji asked with great interest.
