The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

He picked up Kurumizaka Ruri by the waist and said softly, "Put your hands on me."

"Yeah." Kurumizaka Ruri cooperated by raising her hands, then hugged Luo Shu's neck and closed her eyes in a daze in his arms.

Seeing this, Luo Shu did not wake the girl up, but silently took her back to the idol research club classroom.

Then, he discovered that in the less than half an hour that he was helping Kurumizaka Ruri wash and change her clothes, the originally messy environment of the Idol Research Club's classroom had already been cleaned up.

"Liuli, besides you, who else has the key to the Idol Research Club's classroom?"

"Ajin." Hearing Luo Shu's question, Kurumizaka Ruri could only force herself to cheer up and opened her heavy eyelids. Then, she saw the brand new Idol Research Club classroom and yawned. "Shu-kun, do you want to know who cleaned it?"

"Ah."

"It should be Ajin." Kurumizaka Ruri said lazily, "I actually sent her a text message to tell her beforehand when I was taking a shower."

"I see." Luo Shu finally understood why Kurumizaka Ruri had insisted on taking out her phone while she was taking a shower. "But, wouldn't that be too much trouble for Senior Jinjinmi?"

"It's okay, Ajin is one of us."

Kurumizaka Ruri contentedly rested her head on Luo Shu's chest, listening to her lover's steady heartbeat, "I've already told Atsu about my relationship with Shu-kun."

"Is that so? Then I'll take you back to the classroom."

"Okay." Kurumizaka Ruri coveted Luo Shu's embrace for a while, and then realized that he actually intended to take her back to the classroom in a princess-carrying position. She quickly said, "But before we go back, Shu-kun, please put me down first."

"Do you still have the strength to walk?"

"Shu Jun, please help me go back."

Kurumizaka Ruri blushed slightly, "I don't want Reina to notice anything."

"Why do you say the same thing as Xue Cai?" Luo Shu felt a sense of déjà vu. "Could it be that you and Xue Cai discussed this together before?"

"No, I didn't." Kurumizaka Ruri looked a little embarrassed when she heard that. "...Well, anyway, it's all Setsuna's fault for running away first, so I..."

"Okay, okay, let me help you go back."

Luo Shu pinched her pink little face in annoyance, "I always feel that if you and Xue Cai hide this from Reina and she finds out, you two will probably suffer the consequences."

"Hehe, at worst, I'll just have to trouble Shu-kun to comfort Reina."

Kurumizaka Ruri giggled, took Luo Shu's arm, and limped out of the Idol Research Club classroom with his support.

On the other side, Reina Hamasaki from Class B of Grade 1 suddenly sneezed, which really scared Yoshida Xiao who was standing next to her.

Chapter 30: The atmosphere is a bit weird

"Rena?"

Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui was also startled by Hamasaki Reina's sneeze. She looked at her friend with some concern, "Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Hamasaki Reina took the tissue handed to her by Yoshida Xiao with a somewhat depressed look, and gave her a bright smile, "Yoshida-san, where were we talking just now?"

She had previously learned from asking Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui that this girl seemed to have received special care from Luo Shu.

Although she didn't quite understand why Luo Shu would entrust Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui to take care of Yoshida Xiao, she believed that Luo Shu must have his own considerations for doing so.

At this time, Hamasaki Reina's initial liking for Yoshida Xiao was quite good because of her love for him.

"Well, I actually want to ask, Xiao Gaofeng and Hamasaki, why do you trust Luo Shu so much?"

Yoshida smiled nervously, his tone filled with uneasiness, "After all, I didn't even know him before I enrolled."

"I don't know about that either." Reina Hamasaki thought of the previous opening ceremony, when most of the teachers and students of Seishin Academy almost suffered from the collective hypnosis of the psychic Tanaka Hatsu.

After a little thought, she understood that Luo Shu's asking Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui to convey those words to Yoshida Xiao was definitely not aimless.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Hamasaki Reina said soothingly, "It's just that, Yoshida-san, I believe that what Luo Shu entrusted Xianghui to tell you was not just a spur-of-the-moment thought."

"Reina, I also think what Luo Shu-san asked me to tell Yoshida-san is quite strange."

When Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui saw Reina Hamasaki hesitate to speak, she understood that she had some concerns.

She didn't quite understand why Hamasaki Reina had such high trust in Luo Shu, but she still decided to trust her good sister's judgment. So when she said this, she paused for a moment, signaled Hamasaki Reina to calm down, then slowly turned her head to look at Yoshida and smiled, then changed the subject and added,

"However, Yoshida-san, I specifically asked Luo Shu-san why he did that. Do you know what Luo Shu-san said?"

Yoshida smiled and shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"Yoshida-san should also understand that bullying in schools in Fuso is very common."

Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui looked at Yoshida's innocent smile and sighed. She hesitated for a moment and decided to tell her and Luo Shu's concerns directly.

"I don't know if Yoshida-san noticed, but your introduction to the class earlier made you a potential target for school bullying."

"School bullying?" Yoshida Xiao's face turned pale when she heard this. She said in disbelief, "No way."

"Yoshida, you haven't noticed yet. In just this morning, small social circles have formed in our class, and you've been isolated without even realizing it?"

Yoshida Xiao was stunned when she heard this. She then subconsciously looked around and realized that if Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui had not taken the initiative to ask her to have lunch together at noon today, she really would not be able to find anyone she knew to have lunch with on her first day of school.

"It seems that Yoshida-san has noticed something."

Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui sighed, "After the class introductions, Shirakawa-sensei took the time to let us get to know each other. Yoshida-san should have heard it."

Yoshida smiled and nodded slightly when he heard this.

"So, Yoshida-san, if I hadn't taken the initiative to talk to you and exchange contact information with you, would you have had the courage to approach other students?"

Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui looked at Yoshida and smiled, but she didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem yet. She could only continue to explain to this naive girl the importance of socializing on the first day of school, "I think Yoshida-san probably doesn't dare to take the initiative to talk to others.

Frankly speaking, if Luo Shu hadn't suddenly approached me, I probably wouldn't have approached you. It's not that I have any personal dissatisfaction with Yoshida, but because even if I didn't approach anyone on my first day, I already had my own little social circle at Seishen Academy."

Yoshida smiled when she heard this and wanted to refute Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui's judgment that she didn't dare to take the initiative to talk to others. However, when she thought about the time when Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui took the initiative to talk to her after the self-introduction session, she actually felt relieved.

She understood that Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui's judgment of her was correct.

Yoshida laughed, you have always been a coward.

"Kaho, can't you be more tactful?" Hamasaki Reina didn't expect that the usually gentle Kaho Takahashi would speak so harshly. She smiled apologetically at Yoshida and said, "Yoshida-san, what Kaho meant was... well, anyway, you shouldn't think too much about it."

"Hamazaki-san, I understand." Yoshida smiled as he watched Reina Hamasaki look bewildered. There was no trace of disappointment on her face. Instead, she looked at Kaho Kotakamatsu with eyes full of gratitude. "But, Kaho Kotakamatsu was right. I really didn't have the courage to approach anyone back then. Or rather, I actually breathed a sigh of relief when Kaho Kotakamatsu approached me."

"Yoshida-san..." Hamasaki Reina didn't know what to say when she heard Yoshida say that with a smile. She could only look at Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui with a slightly reproachful look and said, "Xianghui!"

"I'm very sorry, Yoshida-san. What I said just now was a bit too harsh."

Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui also realized at this time that she was a little emotional just now, so she chose to apologize crisply.

The reason for her emotional state is that she saw herself in junior high school in Yoshida Sho.

She saw the timid self of the past, the weak self who almost encountered school bullying.

"You don't have to apologize, Gaofeng." Yoshida Xiao was a little panicked when she heard that. She subconsciously stood up, bowed to Xiaofeng Xianghui and Hamasaki Reina and apologized, "Rather, I should apologize to Xiaofeng and Luo Shu. I shouldn't have suspected you of having ulterior motives."

At this time, many freshmen in Class 1B of Senior High School focused their attention on Yoshida because of his smiling behavior.

Yoshida Xiao noticed everyone's gaze and immediately felt the pain of being socially disgraced. He shrank like a quail.

Kotakamine Kaho and Hamasaki Reina were also caught off guard by Yoshida Sho's exaggerated action of suddenly standing up and bowing to apologize.

At this moment, Luo Shu, who sent Kurumizaka Ruri back to Class A, also arrived at Class B. He happened to see Yoshida standing up with a smile and bowing to apologize to Kotakamine Kaho and Hamasaki Reina. He also noticed the strange atmosphere in the class and frowned slightly.

What is this?

Could it be that Yoshida Xiao and Reina had a fight?

They don't look like they're arguing...

Let’s not worry about that for now. The most urgent thing now is not to let the atmosphere become so deadlocked.

Thinking of this, Luo Shulong walked straight to the side of Yoshida Xiao and the other three girls with a tiger's gait, and suddenly asked,

"What are you guys talking about that makes you so excited?"

"Shu-kun, I..." When Reina Hamasaki heard Luo Shu's voice, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She raised her head and looked at her for help.

"Student Luo Shu, that's not what you think."

Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui was also a little at a loss. Her face turned red and she really wanted to explain what had happened, but the words were stuck because her mind was blank.

"Okay, it's normal for good friends to say the wrong thing occasionally when chatting." Although Luo Shu didn't quite understand what happened between the three girls, he knew that he couldn't let this awkward atmosphere continue.

Therefore, he tried to use a gentle tone, smiled and comforted Yoshida, who was standing there like a quail, "Yoshida-san, don't just stand there like an idiot. Lunch break is almost over. Go back to your seat first."

"Yeah." Yoshida smiled and found that Luo Shu was not angry at all. Instead, he comforted her in a gentle tone. She then mustered up the courage to look up and saw that the tall boy in front of her was looking at her with eyes full of kindness. The tension in her heart was relieved and she turned around and walked towards her seat obediently.

"Alright, if you two still want to chat with Yoshida-san, wait until the freshman physical exams are over this afternoon and then continue."

Luo Shu chose to temporarily stop the conversation between the three women, and then she said to Hamasaki Reina, "Reina, there is not much time left for lunch break, you should go back first."

"Yeah." Upon hearing this, Hamasaki Reina could only stand up obediently, smiled at Yoshida with a slightly apologetic look, exchanged glances with Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui, and then walked out of Class C classroom.

After Luo Shu watched Hamasaki Reina leave, he turned back to look at Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui and smiled gently, "Xiao Gaofeng, don't think too much. I'm going back to my seat. If you have anything to say, we can talk to Yoshida later."

"Sorry, Luo Shu-san, I seem to have messed up."

"Probably not." Luo Shu pointed in the direction of Yoshida's smile. "I can see that Yoshida-san doesn't seem to blame you."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui finally mustered up the courage to look up at Yoshida and smiled. She found that she was giving her a gentle smile, and she suddenly felt relieved for no reason.

"Yoshida-san just apologized to you, probably to express his gratitude to you."

Luo Shu was not actually sure what Yoshida Xiao's motivation was for standing up and bowing just now, but when he thought about the panicked looks of Hamasaki Reina and Kotakamine Kaho, he saw no sign of anger on their faces, but rather a bit panicked and at a loss.

Therefore, he felt that there was no serious verbal conflict between the three girls.

"Is that right?"

Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui had regained some composure at this time. She was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she understood the reason why Yoshida Xiao bowed and apologized seemingly abruptly, and she was suddenly a little amused.

"I guess so." Luo Shu shrugged. "Okay, now that you've calmed down, I'll go back to my seat."

"Yeah." Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui looked at the gentle expression on Luo Shu's face, and suddenly felt her heartstrings being strongly touched. She looked at Luo Shu's tall back after he turned around, and felt a full sense of security for no reason, and her face turned unnaturally red.

Luo Shu didn't realize that he had inadvertently touched the girl's heartstrings. He just walked back to his seat and sat down, feeling somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, the relationship between the three of them did not really become strained, otherwise there would probably be a lot of changes in Yoshida Xiao's plot.

However, to be on the safe side, I'd better ask Reina what she, Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui and Yoshida Xiao just said.

Chapter 31: Intention to Kill Morishita Wataru

Luo Shu returned to his seat, took out the specially customized mobile phone of the World Tree Terminal, and sent a text message to Hamasaki Reina's LINE account.

I roughly asked her and Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui what they had just talked about with Yoshida.

Hamasaki Reina's typing speed was quite fast, and she quickly sent a short and concise summary.

Luo Shu took a quick look and understood why the atmosphere between the three women had become so strange.

He pondered for a moment and replied to Hamasaki Reina.

"You and Kaho-chan wanted to dispel Yoshida-san's doubts through chatting, and your intentions were good."

Luo Shu first affirmed that there was nothing wrong with what Hamasaki Reina and Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui did, and then tactfully explained that his previous actions might be the root cause of their troubles.

"But what I asked Xiao Gaofeng to convey to Yoshida was indeed too abrupt and strange. After all, I had never met Yoshida before, so it's natural for her to have doubts.

After all, there is no love or hate in this world without a source. Reina, I can only tell you that the real reason I pay attention to Yoshida-san is because I actually have a special ability to see the future."

Luo Shu decided to reuse the same rhetoric he had used to convince sisters Alice and Isis. After all, although he did not master mysterious skills such as [Future Vision], he did know the original plots of many otherworldly works related to this derivative world.

To some extent, it can be considered an alternative way of predicting the future.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for him to claim that he has the superpower to predict the future.

"Kumamon question mark.jpg?"

When Reina Hamasaki saw the text message that Luo Shu suddenly sent her, she was stunned at first and subconsciously thought that Luo Shu was joking.

But she suddenly thought of what Tanaka Hatsu did at the opening ceremony in the morning, where he performed collective hypnosis on the teachers and students of Seishin Academy, and how Luo Shu had solved it neatly and efficiently as if he had anticipated it.

She believed what Luo Shu said, and also understood why he entrusted Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui to convey those seemingly inexplicable words to Yoshida Xiao.

Thinking of this, Hamasaki Reina typed in the dialog box.

"Did Shu-kun see Yoshida-san's future and that's why he asked Kaho to be friends with Yoshida-san?"

"Yes." Luo Shu thought for a moment after seeing Reina Hamasaki's question, then gave an affirmative answer. "After all, Xiao Gaofeng has a good relationship with you guys. If Xiao Gaofeng gets close to Yoshida, it will help to avoid Yoshida being isolated in school due to his personality and thus suffering from bullying."

"Will Yoshida-kun only encounter bullying in the future?"
