"it's me."
After calming down, Kato Emi bit her lower lip and quickly grabbed Kiyono Makoto's arm, her eyes filled with tension.
"Kiyono-kun, there's a monster in the alley! Let's run!"
Feeling the chill creeping in from the depths of the alley, Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and handed the umbrella to Kato Megumi, his tone steady:
"It's too late to run now."
"Ho ho..."
A deep, animalistic panting sound came from the darkness.
A humanoid beast with bloodshot eyes emerged, pattering through the rain. Its body was covered in black fur, and its head was a hideous wolf's head, making it look extremely eerie.
"Werewolf?"
Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly, instantly recognizing the other party's identity.
"It should be said that they are players..."
Chapter 28 Kato Wants to Repay a Kindness
Werewolves cannot exist in the real world, so the werewolf in front of you is definitely a player from Paradise.
Players walk on the edge of danger, much like soldiers going to war, and they generally have all sorts of mental health issues.
People often suffer mental breakdowns when they are under constant high pressure, so players use all sorts of ways to release stress, with fine wine, gourmet food, and brothels being the most common choices.
However, some inherently evil Uchiha brats have their evil thoughts amplified by Paradise, and they specifically target ordinary people to vent their frustrations.
Without a doubt, the werewolf in front of us is an evil player who acts without any scruples.
"There are actually idiots who would willingly offer themselves up..."
The werewolf player's voice was hoarse and grating, his breath seemingly carrying the stench of a wild beast. His blood-red eyes were fixed on Kiyono Makoto, filled with cruelty and mockery.
"Then let's all become my toys."
Kato Megumi's pretty face turned pale, but she didn't abandon Kiyono Makoto and run away. Instead, her voice was tense:
"Kiyono-kun, call the police!"
"police?"
The werewolf player stepped forward unhurriedly, his tone revealing undisguised disdain and superiority:
"By the time those good-for-nothings get here, you'll have already been torn to shreds by me."
"Then let's give it a try."
Kiyono Makoto simply extended his right hand.
next second.
The raindrops seemed to have been paused, suddenly freezing in mid-air.
Whoosh whoosh.
Countless raindrops converged from all directions, quickly condensing into a spinning water bullet in Kiyono Makoto's palm.
Water magic is amplified by water. In the desert, Kiyono Makoto could only conjure a small water bullet, but now it's raining and the surrounding moisture is abundant, so the power of the magic is naturally greatly enhanced.
"Huh...?"
Kato Megumi's eyes widened, and a rare look of surprise appeared on her usually calm and composed face.
The werewolf player suddenly stopped in his tracks, his fur stood on end, and his pupils contracted:
"You're a player too?!"
Kiyono Makoto remained silent, simply gathering his strength.
As the compressed water bomb in his hand grew larger, the danger level rose.
"...Just you wait and see."
Without hesitation, the werewolf player turned around and jumped over the wall to escape.
When players meet in the real world, unless they have a deep-seated grudge, they will generally avoid conflict, because no one knows what the other has up their sleeve.
Kiyono Makoto wasn't confident he could defeat his opponent, so he didn't pursue. Once he was sure the danger had disappeared, he waved his right hand towards the sky, and the water bullet, which had reached its limit, exploded in mid-air, turning into a visible white shockwave that rolled outwards.
Splash!
A torrential downpour began.
Fortunately, Kiyono Makoto took a half step back in time, thus avoiding getting soaked.
"call……"
Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and looked at Kato Megumi behind him:
"Kato-kun, let's go."
Just as he turned around, Kiyono Makoto's sleeve was tugged, and Kato Megumi looked up at him, saying softly:
"Kiyono-kun, there's another person in the alley."
"Ok?"
“My mother had been coughing all night, and we were out of cold medicine at home, so I went out to buy some. When I passed through the alley, I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt dizzy and my body went out of control and I walked in,” Kato Megumi explained softly. “Then I saw that monster from before, attacking a woman. I was so scared that I came to my senses.”
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and stepped deeper into the area. He soon saw a woman whose flesh was mangled and bloodied, a truly gruesome sight.
"How is she...?"
Kato Megumi tilted her head, trying to observe Kiyono Makoto from behind.
Snapped.
Kiyono Makoto grabbed the girl's right hand, frowned, and ordered:
"Kato-kun, turn around."
"……it is good."
Kato Megumi obediently turned around.
"Don't look around."
Kiyono Makoto stepped forward, reached out and checked the woman's breath. He found that she was still breathing, but clearly only had one breath left, so he decisively used water magic to help heal her.
The mist drifted away and quietly seeped into the woman's body. The woman on the ground trembled slightly. Although she did not wake up, the small wounds on her body had healed and her breathing had become noticeably more stable.
"call……"
Using water magic continuously in a short period of time will multiply the consumption of mental energy. Kiyono Makoto let out a light breath and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead:
"Don't worry, she's still breathing. I just treated her."
Seino Makoto blocked Kato Megumi's view:
"Let's go, let's get out of here first, and then call the police."
The two walked out of the alley, and Kato Megumi took the initiative to call the police. Then, instead of leaving immediately, they walked to the other side of the road and waited for each other.
Soon after, police cars and ambulances arrived with sirens blaring and carried the woman away from the alley on a stretcher. It could be seen that the woman had regained consciousness and was sobbing.
"call……"
Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.
"Kiyono-kun, I'm going home now."
Where's your umbrella?
"Uh... when I was feeling dizzy earlier, I think my umbrella fell to the ground. It must have been blown away by the wind."
This is clearly a super frustrating thing, but your tone is far too calm!
Kiyono Makoto hesitated for two seconds: "Is Kato-kun's house far away?"
"Huh?"
"The rain is getting heavier, and you don't have an umbrella. Let me take you."
Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips, showing no sign of rejection:
"...I'm sorry to have troubled you, Kiyono-kun."
"Let's go." Kiyono Makoto turned to the girl beside him. "Did you lose your medicine?"
"No, I put it in my bag after I bought it."
"Will Kato cry if she loses her bag?"
"That kind of thing shouldn't happen. A bag isn't an umbrella; it won't be blown away by the wind, will it?"
"..."
The two soon arrived at an intersection. While waiting for the red light, Kiyono Makoto turned around and looked at the quiet, indifferent-looking Saint, and couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you even a little bit curious about the monster from before, Kato-kun?"
"Actually, I'm a little curious," Kato Megumi replied calmly, "but I feel that asking rashly would put Kiyono-san in a difficult position, so I won't ask."
No, your personality is far too easygoing! If it were Eriri, she'd probably be asking a million questions by now!
Based on her behavior just now, it's clear that Kato Megumi is still an ordinary person and hasn't been recruited by the amusement park to become a player, so Kiyono Makoto didn't explain in detail:
"Kato-kun will find out later."
“Eh…” Kato Megumi blinked her bright eyes, “Actually, it’s okay if I don’t know, as long as we don’t run into each other again in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto retorted, "It feels like you're setting a dangerous flag."
"Ah~ should I withdraw now?"
"I'm sorry, it's too late."
"..."
A moment later.
Kiyono Makoto and Kato Megumi arrived at the entrance of a detached house.
"Kiyono-kun, I'm home."
Kato Megumi looked up at her and thanked her earnestly:
"Thank you, Kiyono-kun."
"You're welcome, I was just passing by."
"If it weren't for Kiyono-san's timely appearance, I might never have been able to go home, so please let me repay Kiyono-san."
Kiyono Makoto waved his hand, preparing to leave, when the door suddenly clicked open...
Chapter 29 The Saint Student and Water Magic
"Xiao Hui, you're back?"
A beautiful woman stood in the entryway, her long black hair simply tied up, with a gentle appearance and a graceful demeanor.
Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Mrs. Kato breathed a sigh of relief:
“Xiao Hui has been out for more than half an hour and hasn’t replied to my messages. Mom is a little worried and is about to go out to look for you.”
“Um…” Kato Megumi blinked her bright eyes, naturally not mentioning the danger she encountered, and said in a nonchalant tone, “My umbrella was accidentally blown away by the wind, but luckily Kiyono-san brought me back. We were chatting the whole way and I forgot to check my phone.”
"Hey, is this Xiaohui's friend?"
Mrs. Kato's gaze shifted and landed on Kiyono Makoto, her eyes quickly brightening.
Kiyono Makoto bowed slightly and replied politely, "Auntie, good evening. I am Kiyono Makoto, and I am a classmate of Kato."
"Come in and sit for a while." Mrs. Kato quickly opened the door. "It's raining heavily outside. Come in and have a cup of tea before you leave."
"I'll drink again next time..."
"Today is the first time Xiao Hui has ever brought a friend home since she was a child. She must come in for tea."
