It wasn't the windy rooftop that was dangerous, but rather that she was in real danger at any moment when he wasn't around.

And only he can detect and deal with those dangers immediately.

more importantly……

He hasn't been online for two days.

"Sorry," Shimada Sho thought to himself, "something came up the other day."

"Mr. thug, you don't need to apologize."

"No, I should have told you beforehand."

Yukine Kamishiro did not respond.

But Shimada could sense that her mood had dropped a bit.

[Ding! Limited-time training mission triggered!]

【Yukine's Wish: The Young Lady's Anxiety 2.0】

[Task Description: Two consecutive days of missed appointments have left the young lady deeply uneasy. She begins to wonder if Mr. Thug has grown tired of this body, found a more interesting place, or plans to disappear forever. Please log in on time every day for the next five days and dispel her doubts with your actions.]

[Task Rewards: Random attribute rewards and item rewards.]

[Task Requirements: Log in at least once a day for six consecutive days without interruption.]

Shimada Sho's lips twitched as he looked at the light screen that popped up in front of him.

Six days, twice as long as last time.

Not too harsh.

And there's also the attribute point reward he wanted most.

"Yukine".

After accepting the task, Shimada Sho took the initiative to speak.

A question from Yukine Kamishiro echoed in her mind: "What's wrong?"

“I will log on every day on time from now on.” Shimada Sho felt it was necessary to tell her.

The voice in my mind fell silent for a moment.

Then, with a slightly raised tone, he asked, "Really?"

"real."

"Won't disappear without a trace, and will you come every day like before?"

"……Yes."

Another silence followed.

But this time, Shimada Sho could clearly sense that the young lady's emotions were gradually warming up.

Like spring water beneath the ice, quietly surging forth when spring arrives.

"Then it's settled," Yukine Kamishiro said softly.

"Yes, it's settled."

A gust of wind blew, causing the young lady's long silver hair to flutter and dance.

Only then did Shimada Sho feel a slight chill.

He leaned against the railing, his gaze casually sweeping across the campus below.

Thinking about how to start the conversation, he decided to first dispel the young lady's unease with words.

But upon that first glance, his gaze faltered.

Wait a moment.

His gaze lingered on the building in front of him.

The activity room building with its red exterior is next to a small playground with a rubber track.

Further away, you can see a small grove of trees, barely visible in the darkness...

This isn't where I go to school!

Shimada Sho walked to the other side in disbelief and looked towards the school gate.

That's right.

The familiar security booth, the nearby flower bed, and the dilapidated bicycle shed all match up perfectly.

The place he is standing on now is the rooftop of the Dongli High School teaching building.

"Yukine," Shimada Sho tried to make his voice sound less surprised, "Where is this place?"

"Dongli High School," Yukine Kamishiro finished the sentence for him, "my new school after I transferred."

"...What are you doing here?"

"My mom came to the school today to discuss the investment, and I came along to get familiar with the environment beforehand."

Shimada Sho felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.

The young lady attends Dongli High School.

He goes to school on the rooftop of the school building every day.

And next week, she will officially become a student here.

"Mr. Thug?" Yukine Kamishiro's voice was filled with doubt. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing," Shimada Sho replied dryly. "I just think this place is pretty run-down."

“Yes.” Yukine Kamishiro deeply agreed.

Shimada Sho decided to drop the subject, knowing that saying more would only make things worse, so he said, "It's too windy, let's go down."

“Okay.” Yukine Kamishiro had no objection, and then added, “Mom should be almost done talking, I’m going to wait for her.”

"it is good."

Shimada Sho turned and walked towards the door to the rooftop.

Pushing open the iron gate and stepping into the stairwell, the wind was shut out, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

He walked down the stairs.

The young lady didn't give him directions, but he didn't hesitate at all.

Go down to the third floor, turn right, and continue forward.

At the end of the corridor is the meeting room for the school's senior management.

He knows it too well.

I have to pass through this corridor every day on my way to school.

"Mr. Thug".

Suddenly, the voice of Yukine Kamishiro echoed in my mind.

"Ok?"

"You know about Dongli High School too?"

Shimada Sho suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"I don't know," he answered casually, then tried to make his voice sound calm as he asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Because you seem to be very familiar with this place."

Yukine Kamishiro's tone was devoid of emotion, as if stating an observation: "When you turned right downstairs just now, you didn't hesitate."

Shimada Sho's heart skipped a beat.

The young lady is openly testing him.

"All schools are pretty much the same," he said casually. "The internal structure is basically the same."

"Yeah."

"Ah."

Yukine Kamishiro did not press the matter further.

Shimada Sho breathed a sigh of relief and slowed his pace considerably as he walked.

You should at least act a little unfamiliar with them.

I walked down the stairs and through the corridor to the front of the conference room.

The meeting room door was ajar, and faint voices could be heard coming from inside.

Shimada Sho didn't go in; he just stood there and waited.

"Mr. Thug".

"Ok?"

"Can you tell me your name?"

coming.

Shimada Sho's fingers tightened involuntarily.

This is a question that should have been asked long ago, but the young lady has waited until now to bring it up.

“A name is just a code.” Shimada Sho used the words he had prepared beforehand.

The young lady persisted, "Then what is Mr. Thug's code name?"

......"

"Can't I say?"

Shimada Sho opened his mouth, wanting to give a fake name to brush it off.

But he swallowed the words back down his throat.

He didn't want to lie to her.

"I'll tell you later." In the end, all he could give was a rather unhelpful answer.

"When is 'later'?"

"Wait...for the right time."

The young lady fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he softly hummed in agreement.

The corridor fell silent.

The conversation in the meeting room continued, with occasional phrases like "educational reform" and "brand upgrade" audible.

Shimada Sho leaned back on the bench, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Mr. Thug".

Yukine Kamishiro spoke again.

"Ok?"

"Where are you from?"

"……Tokyo."

"Where in Tokyo?"

"..."

Shimada Sho had absolutely no idea how to answer.

Not getting an answer, the voice in my head asked another question, "How old is Mr. Thug?"

"sixteen."

"Same as me."

"Ah."
