The strongest high school student in Japan

"If he were caught by Hyoudou Takako...it would be terrible."

"Yeah, I'm afraid it will be more painful than death." Mogami Jun nodded again.

Sagihara Shion closed her eyes slightly, as if she felt sympathy and regret for this answer that everyone could imagine.

"Yeah...it's going to be terrible, it's going to be very painful..." she muttered to herself.

But soon, she opened her eyes again, and then looked at Mogami Jun as if she had made up her mind, "But even so... even so, I still hope that Jun-kun, you will stop interfering in his affairs, just let him... just let him take care of his own business..."

Jun Mogami opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Before he could say anything, Sagihara Shion gave a bitter smile.

"I'm so ridiculous. Why should I cover up at this time? How can I take care of my own business? If no one helps him, he will definitely fall into the hands of Hyoudou Takako! Since I have already been despicable, then I...then I must at least face my despicableness honestly! So I have to tell the truth, Jun-kun, please leave him to die! Just regard it as following my orders. You have done so much before, there is no need to continue..."

"Senior..." After hearing what Senior Sagihara said, Mogami Jun felt mixed emotions, "This... doesn't sound like something you would say."

"What does it mean to be like me?" Sagihara Shion asked back immediately. "Stick to principles, never give up or be afraid? If this is just my personal matter, I can certainly continue, I am not afraid to carry out my beliefs. But I don't want to let you face danger because of my stubbornness and persistence... Do you know why I didn't ask you before? I just don't want to add any moral burden to you, so that you dare not make a decision because of me. But now that it has come to this, I feel that I can't hide behind you cunningly. I should take moral responsibility for you, because you have done enough for me..."

No wonder... No wonder the senior sister's expression was so ugly just now... Jun Mogami finally understood in his heart.

It must be very difficult for her to make such a decision.

There was a little more compassion in Mogami Jun's eyes.

"So, between Zhengyi and me, Senior Sister stood on my side?" After a moment, he tried his best to conceal his feelings, and then asked again. "So Senior Sister took this moral responsibility for me and asked me to abandon my promise and watch him die without saving him?"

"Yeah... Although I like justice very much, I have never reached the point where I would let myself and the people around me take the initiative to become victims of justice..." Sagihara Shion smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Who doesn't want to make the world a better place by themselves? But people are people, and there are always differences in closeness and distance. If the people you care about are sacrificed, then what is the meaning of a beautiful world? What's more, only if we live well ourselves first, can we have the energy to help others, right?"

After hearing what Sagihara Shion said, Mogami Jun felt a lot more relieved.

Senior Sagihara's set of values ​​is just like the way she treats people: reserved yet measured, compassionate but not a pushover, and she will never force others to sacrifice for justice.

Perhaps it is because of her difficult teenage years that she realizes how precious everything around her is, and is more willing to grab what she still has at all costs.

And I happen to be within this range.

Therefore, after an ideological struggle, Sagihara Shion decided to make this request, which went against her own wishes.

It's really amazing. Zhenyou had made the same request before, but she didn't have any ideological struggle.

Although the two people have different ideas, their starting points are the same.

So, thank you.

"Senior, I am very grateful for your thoughts." Mogami Jun put aside his thoughts and spoke again, "But you don't have to say that. I can make decisions for myself and don't need anyone to bear the responsibility and psychological burden for me."

"If I can't even overcome this little obstacle of conscience, then I have no right to say that I can be your helper. I know what kind of world we will sink into..." Sagihara Shion answered stubbornly, "I just hope that when I look back on everything in the end, I can still tell myself with relief that everything is worth it. But even if it's not worth it, this is the path I have chosen, and I will be mentally prepared."

"But I won't let you be embarrassed to this extent. What's the point of one-sided understanding and sacrifice?" Mogami Jun spread his hands, "Don't worry, senior sister, at least in this matter, the situation is not that bad."

340, Visit the School

"Don't worry, senior sister, at least in this matter, the situation is not that bad."

After hearing Mogami Jun's words of comfort, Sagihara Shion was a little skeptical, "What does Jun-kun mean?"

"I asked Yukio Tonegawa for help, and he promised me to protect Koichi Sakai and his couple." Jun Mogami answered directly.

"Mr. Tonegawa?" Sagihara Shion was obviously a little surprised. "Will he...will he do this?"

"Since he has agreed, I think he will definitely do it. Mr. Tonegawa and I are quite similar. We will not overestimate our own abilities and ruin our reputation." Mogami Jun replied, "Besides, Senior, this is the maximum I can do to help them. If even Mr. Tonegawa can't protect him, then what's the point of me doing more?"

Sagihara Shion thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"You're right, this is the best way... Chunjun, you've done a great job. I never thought that Chunjun would take the initiative to do this..."

Hey, who am I in your heart?... Jun Mogami couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"First of all, I have to state that even now, I still have no good feelings towards him, and I don't care too much about his life or death." Mogami Jun raised his head slightly proudly, "I fulfilled my promise only because I value my credit very much, and he is not worth me destroying my credit.

“Hahahaha…” Sagihara Shion couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Jun-kun is really cute sometimes…hahahaha…”

In the quiet reading room, Sagihara Shion suddenly forgot her self-restraint and burst into laughter.

The reason why she was so happy was, of course, not just to make fun of Mogami Jun, but more because she was glad in her heart that she and Jun-kun did not have to bear the burden of conscience so early.

Although she was cruel and willing to bear the moral responsibility herself, deep down in her heart she still hoped for a better solution. Now that she saw her wish come true, she was naturally very happy.

After putting down the huge stone in her heart, Sagihara Shion's mood immediately improved, and the smile that was supposed to be there returned to her face.

"Chun Jun, I'm sorry... I've caused you so much trouble with my random thoughts..."

"No, it's not a problem. On the contrary, I'm very happy." Mogami Jun smiled and shook his head. "Senior is willing to break the principles in her heart, stand up and bear the moral dilemma for me. This takes a lot of courage... I am very moved."

Sagihara Shion's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and dared not say anything more.

Even without looking at her face, Mogami Jun could feel the shyness and shame, joy and relief wrapped around her.

He wanted to make a few more jokes, but seeing that Senior Sagihara was already like this, he had to stop and change the subject.

“Please rest assured, senior sister. Although Hyoudou Takako is aggressive this time, she is in the open and we are in the dark. She has no way of knowing the twists and turns in the story, nor does she know the role we played in it—” Mogami Jun sneered, “The funny thing is that Hyoudou Takako found me last night and arrogantly declared that she would never let those enemies go, but she didn’t know that the culprit was standing in front of her at the time…”

Now when he thinks back to last night, he still finds it a little funny.

"Jun-kun!" Sagihara Shion suddenly raised her hand and held Mogami Jun's hand, her eyes becoming extremely serious. "Don't do this!"

"Hmm?" Mogami Jun only felt a little pain in his shoulder, so he looked at Sagihara Shion in confusion, "Senior?"

"Since things are not over yet, we must not let our guard down. No matter how smoothly things go, there will always be some accidents. You must know that you are facing someone like Hyoudou Takako, and there is no room for error!" Sagihara Shion earnestly warned the young man, "Jun-kun, you are better than me. You can do things that I can't do, and I can't give you any advice, but the only thing I must remind you is to be cautious, okay?"

Being taught such a harsh lesson by his senior made Mogami Jun a little uncomfortable, but he was of course very clear about the other party's intention.

He had always been indignant because Hyodou Takako had been so arrogant before. Naturally, he was very happy that Hyodou Takako had been humiliated this time. However, no matter how happy he was, he must not take it lightly. If there was even the slightest mistake, it would be difficult to resolve the situation.

"Senior is right." Mogami Junya came back to his senses and lowered his head a little embarrassedly, "I shouldn't have gotten carried away..."

"It's nothing... You should be happy, but don't get too carried away. After all, Hyoudou Takako will definitely try her best to find out who is secretly against you, so you must not be careless." Seeing Mogami Jun's reaction, Sagihara Shion also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she realized that she was still holding Mogami Jun's hand, so she felt a little embarrassed and let go.

However, she found that she couldn't take her hand back.

It should be that Jun Mogami grabbed her hand.

"Jun-kun...?" Sagihara Shion asked cautiously.

She herself didn't know what she was asking or what she was requesting.

Jun Mogami didn't answer, but just kept holding her hand.

He didn't know what he was doing. When he noticed that the senior sister was about to withdraw her hand, it seemed as if his right hand automatically reached out and grabbed her.

But no police officer would accept this...

In the empty room, Mogami Jun and Sagihara Shion looked at each other in surprise.

He didn't know what he was thinking, he just... just felt reluctant.

"Senior." He spoke after a moment.

"Hmm?" asked Sagihara Shion.

Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Let's go out for a walk together—"

"Huh?" Sagihara Shion opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Anyway, it's already this time of night, and the library will be closing soon, so why don't we go out for a walk together?" Mogami Jun repeated his request, "It should be pretty cool outside now."

"But...but...what if someone outside sees us?" Sagihara Shion asked in a low voice.

"Everyone has left school now, right?" Mogami Jun shook his head disapprovingly. "Besides, even if someone saw it, what would happen? Would anyone restrict our freedom of movement?"

"That's what I said, but... it would be bad if there were any strange rumors..." Sagihara Shion was still a little hesitant.

"What bad rumors? Why should we care about rumors?" Mogami Jun asked back immediately, "It's already come to this point, do you still need to care about what others think of you? What have you gained by living cautiously all these years? Since others will not affect your life anyway, why bother to care about what others think of you?"

"That's not what I meant. I won't be in any trouble, but you..." Sagihara Shion shook her head slightly.

"It won't matter to me. Anyway, I don't have a good reputation and I haven't thought about running for the student council president. Why should I care about what others think of me?" Mogami Jun couldn't help laughing. "Senior, you are about to leave here. Isn't it nice to leave some good memories before you go?"

Perhaps it was the last sentence that touched Sagihara Shion's heartstrings. The hesitation on her face slowly disappeared, and then she sighed helplessly.

"Alas... you are too eloquent. I can never win the argument with you."

By saying this, she obviously acquiesced to Jun Mogami's rude request.

Jun Mogami's face suddenly broke into a smile, and then he stood up suddenly.

"Well, senior sister, let's go--"

Because he was holding Sagihara Shion's hand, Sagihara Shion couldn't help but stand up as well.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that she was about to be dragged away, Sagihara Shion helplessly stopped the other party, "I... I'll clean it up first, let go of your hand."

Mogami Jun obediently let go of his hand.

Then, she slowly packed her things and put them into her bag. After slinging the bag over her shoulder, she looked at the boy. "Are you satisfied now?!"

This complex look containing resentment, helplessness and joy made Mogami Jun couldn't help laughing.

"Well, let's go."

The two of them then walked out of the reading room side by side, went downstairs, and walked out of the library.

They walked between the campuses along a road that was already familiar to them.

Because it was already very late, there were not many people around, so there was no hindrance or awkwardness. The two of them walked around while chatting in low voices.

Although the places they passed along the way were all scenes and buildings that they had seen countless times, when the two of them wandered among them together, it seemed that they had a new sense of experience.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the corridor between the junior high school and the high school.

The last rays of the setting sun in the evening slowly disappeared in the sky. The night was about to swallow up the last bit of gold in the horizon. The increasingly faint light combined the shadows of the two people beside the railing, ending the day with a magnificent scene.

"Jun-kun, it's so strange..." Sagihara Shion whispered, "Although I don't have many good memories here...but when I think about saying goodbye to this place soon, I suddenly feel reluctant to leave."

"If you don't want to leave, you can come back from time to time. You should have more time after entering university anyway." Mogami Jun replied with a smile.

"How can a college student go to high school every day?" Sagihara Shion glanced at him. "That's too outrageous."

"That's just because they don't have anything to linger on, right?" Mogami Jun asked back, "If they did, then why wouldn't it be a problem to come back and take a look?"

"If there is..." Sagihara Shion repeated in a low voice.

"So... Chunjun, if there is any, would you go to the university to take a look?" she asked again after a moment.

"Of course!" Mogami Jun answered without hesitation, "As long as there is a senior, no matter where it is, I will go to see it -"

Sagihara Shion looked into Mogami Jun's eyes, as if trying to gauge the sincerity of his words, then she turned her head again and looked at the horizon.

The sky fell and night finally arrived.

"If that's the case, that's good too." She whispered something unclear.

Then, she suddenly took the initiative to extend her hand to Jun Mogami.

"Chun-kun, it's a deal!"

"It's a deal." Mogami Jun smiled and stretched out his hand, holding the senior's hand.

The touch is so soft.

Although night has fallen, looking at Sagihara Shion's sparkling eyes, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to find the way back.

"Hey! What are you doing? Mogami?!" At this moment a greeting came from afar.

The voice was strangely familiar... Jun Mogami subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

A blurry black shadow quickly approached the two people and then stood in front of them.

"Teacher Ikawa...? You haven't gone home yet?"

It turned out to be his homeroom teacher.

Oops, I didn’t expect my luck to be so bad… I ran into him the first time I went out for a walk.

"It's all because of you that I have to work overtime today." Teacher Yichuan looked up at the two of them while panting.

"I thought I was seeing things, but it turned out to be you... Why haven't you left school yet so late? What are you doing here?"

Then, he looked at Sagihara Shion, "Who is she...? She doesn't look like she's from our class? You two seem to be pretty close...?"

Mogami Jun glanced at Sagihara Shion, who was currently lowering her head in shame, as if she was afraid that Teacher Ikawa would recognize her.
