“Mr. Chen, we…” Yotsuya Miko glanced at Chen Yi, wanting to say something.

"Yotsugu-kun, let's not meddle in other people's family matters." Chen Yi reached out to stop Yotsugu Miko and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively." Yotsuya belatedly realized her mistake, glanced in their direction, and walked home as usual, with Chen Yi following slowly behind.

"Speaking of which, Yi-kun has never taken me home before," Sakurajima Mai remarked with a touch of melancholy.

"You're staying at my place now, where am I supposed to take you back?" Chen Yi complained.

Then Chen Yi felt his foot being gently stepped on.

"Shouldn't you say something nicer at this time? Does Yi-kun not know how to chat with girls?" Sakurajima Mai's eyes narrowed slightly, a threatening undertone lurking beneath the surface.

"Okay, do you want me to take you home today?" Chen Yi said, going along with what the other person said.

“Of course.” Mai Sakurajima took Chen Yi’s arm. “My home is on the 16th floor of the Mihama CAYN Building in Shazhou 2-chome. Take me home.”

"This is clearly my home address, okay?" Chen Yi was speechless.

"Chen Jun, let's go." At this moment, Chen Yi felt his left hand being held, and a gentle force pulled him forward.

Yotsuya Miko was in front, blocking some of the view. She turned her head, her eyes filled with doubt.

Then Chen Yi felt the pressure from Sakurajima Mai's arm tighten even more.

"Miss Mai, you're hugging me too tightly." Chen Yi turned his head away, trying his best not to look at her.

It seems like Yotsuya Miko is more interesting... no, wait.

Chen Yi's mind wandered for a moment, but reason quickly prevailed, and he tried to distract himself by thinking about other things.

But when he turned his gaze to the other side, he saw Kroos staring straight at him, without saying a word from the beginning.

"Yi-jun likes it very much? In the end, it's just Xiao Chu Nan, isn't it?" Sakurajima Mai was very satisfied with Chen Yi's performance, and released her embrace to hold his hand instead.

Chen Yi glanced at Mai Sakurajima, then at Miko Yotsuya in front of him, and finally at Krokay, who remained silent.

For the first time, I realized the problem of the 'battlefield' and was caught in a state of 'helplessness'.

......

"Chen-kun." Sitting on the tram, Chen Yi looked at the scenery rushing past the window when he heard Yotsuya Miko suddenly speak to him.

“A few days ago, during the time Chen Jun didn’t take me home, I killed an evil spirit.” She said calmly, looking up into Chen Yi’s eyes.

"They weren't so scary after all."

It's a declarative sentence. It's been about two to three months since Yotsuya Miko first came to the Service Department to submit her request. Initially, Yotsuya Miko went from being afraid and even incontinent to being able to fight back on her own. In just over two months, she completed a great transformation.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Miko Yotsuya bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your help, thank you for accepting my request..."

"Yotsugu-kun, this is your own growth." Chen Yi placed his hand on Yotsugu Miko's head and gently rubbed it.

"Chen Jun, it was you who helped me muster up my courage."

"Others can only act as external forces to propel you forward, but what ultimately determines your growth is yourself." Amidst the noisy crowd, Chen Yi's words of encouragement clearly reached Yotsuya Miko's ears.

"So, the request regarding Yotsuya-kun has been successfully completed?" Chen Yi moved his hand away, and the other person looked up at Chen Yi's face.

"That's true, but... as a friend, Chen-kun should accompany me home from school, right?" Yotsuya Miko still held some hope in her heart.

"Occasionally it's possible, but sometimes I'm just too busy," Chen Yi said, shrugging.

“Hmm…” Yotsuya Miko nodded, glancing away.

In the Service Department, although I could chat with Chen Jun, there were still too many people, and I couldn't get many things done...

For example, like now, I hold Chen Jun's hand all the way home from school.

That senior student surnamed Kasumigaoka must be eyeing Chen Jun as her prey, wanting to play with him and then abandon him... We can't let her succeed. You can tell at a glance that she's a bad woman!

Yotsuya Miko became alert.

Seeing that the other person had stopped talking, Chen Yi carefully adjusted his standing posture.

There was no way around it; having someone holding my hand on both sides made it feel really strange.

Oh, and there's also a mysterious gray-haired woman who just stares without saying a word.

'Klukay, Klukay?' Chen Yi couldn't see her from his angle, so he tried calling out to her in his mind.

“Commander, I’m here.” Kluge’s voice was devoid of emotion.

Are you throwing a tantrum? Why?

"No, Commander." Kluge's voice was flat.

The ultimate theorem of arrogance: if it doesn't exist, it does.

'Krooice, you're the best.' So Chen Yi decided to start by praising her.

"Thank you, but Commander, you don't need to keep guessing. I'm not angry."

'Kluisai, let's be frank. There shouldn't be any barriers between us.'

As the tram entered the tunnel, the scenery outside the window immediately became a mirror reflection inside the carriage. Chen Yi looked at the crowded people but couldn't find that blue figure.

“Commander, you have to take responsibility for the gifts you send out.” Kroos didn’t say it directly, but she implied something.

Chen Yi remained silent.

'I tried to keep my distance,' he argued.

“Commander, it’s not a matter of distance. For your own sake, you must understand that if you only think of yourself and don’t seek help from others, even the most resilient person will break down.” Kroos suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yi, her pretty face close to his.

'I understand.' Chen Yi struggled internally, but gradually relaxed.

Afterwards, let's also try to find ways to help with the treatment from the perspective of friends, like Kasumigaoka and the others.

Chen Yi thought to himself.

Kroos, however, wore a rather strange expression, seemingly annoyed.

However, Chen Yi did not notice this little trick.

Adolescent Syndrome: Chapter Eighty-Seven - Metamorphosis, and Cupcakes

The RSH-12 is a large-caliber revolver developed by the Russians at the beginning of the century. It was issued to special forces for counter-terrorism missions. Due to its caliber, the RSH-12 has relatively good stopping power and penetration capability.

Yotsuya Miko gripped the gun with both hands, a wisp of smoke rising from the muzzle, and only lowered the gun after seeing that the evil spirit had completely ceased its movement.

This gun is the one Chen Jun gave her.

...Going back to school and leaving school, ignoring those strangely shaped evil spirits on the train, is something that Yotsuya Miko has to go through every day.

Looking at her reflection in the car window, a malevolent spirit was a few steps behind her. Yotsuya Miko didn't panic; she closed her eyes and yawned.

"Hmm?" Yotsuya Miko was slightly puzzled for a moment, then began rummaging through her backpack.

"Ah, I forgot my things... Oh well." Yotsuya Miko muttered to herself as she took the revolver out of her bag, covered it with her uniform jacket, tucked it under her arm, and then casually slung the bag back over her shoulder.

She was still watching me, just as expected. Miko Yotsuya's expression didn't change; she simply crossed her arms and leaned comfortably against the carriage wall next to the train door.

"The train has arrived at xx station..." The announcement came over the train's loudspeaker. Yotsuya Miko stared at the ground, turned around and got off the train as if nothing had happened.

She followed him out... Yotsuya Miko didn't turn around, but you could tell from the footsteps that the evil spirit had gotten off the bus with her.

Did they discover that I can see? How did they discover that?

Yotsuya Miko lowered her gaze and walked home with the same pace as usual.

"Tap tap tap..." After leaving the subway station and returning to the sunlit street, the evil spirit still followed closely behind, showing no sign of leaving.

"Looks like they really are targeting me..." Yotsuya Miko calmed herself down, and when she reached the edge of the alley, she suddenly accelerated and turned into the alley.

The evil spirit paused for a moment, roared, slammed its deformed hand on the ground, and crawled toward the alleyway where Yotsuya Miko had disappeared into.

However, it was not a lamb to the slaughter that met it, but a hunter with a shotgun.

......

Chen Yi listened quietly, nodding occasionally.

Just as she had previously declared, Miko Yotsuya has indeed become someone who can handle danger on her own.

"Yi-kun, why don't you praise me for helping kill so many birdmen that day?" Mai Sakurajima suddenly seized the opportunity and threw out a dangerous, potentially fatal question.

Because he was too busy to care at the time, because Mai Sakurajima wasn't as timid and anxious as Miko Yotsuya... etc., any answer that came out would severely damage his image, so Chen Yi was certainly not stupid enough to say it directly.

"It was my oversight. Miss Mai is the best in the world," Chen Yi replied earnestly.

"That's more like it."

"Mr. Chen, you don't need to see me off. I'm going back now. See you tomorrow." As the tram arrived at the station, Yotsuya Miko got off, waved to Chen Yi, and gave him a warm smile after receiving his reply. Without lingering, she walked towards the tram platform exit.

"See you tomorrow." Chen Yi waved his hand, seemingly feeling that the guitar bag he was carrying was a bit heavy, so he took off the shoulder straps and put the guitar bag on the ground.

"Are we going home now?" Mai Sakurajima asked.

"Where else can we go?... What kind of snacks do you want to eat tonight?" Chen Yi suddenly asked Sakurajima Mai, as if he had just remembered something.

"Snacks? Why are you asking about that all of a sudden?"

"I haven't officially congratulated you since your novel became a hit. I was planning to prepare some desserts to celebrate when we first met, but I got delayed and forgot..." Chen Yi explained.

"That guy surnamed Kasumigaoka?" Mai Sakurajima raised an eyebrow, a wicked idea quietly brewing in her mind.

"You don't mind if I help you, do you?" Mai Sakurajima asked casually.

"Can you do it?" Chen Yi asked in surprise.

“…I can learn.” Mai Sakurajima then realized that the other person’s baking skills were not on the same level as hers, and her volunteering was a bit like showing off her skills in front of Guan Yu.

"Then forget it. If you're interested, I can teach you, but since it's something I'm giving away, I'll just have to figure it out myself." Chen Yi's refusal was quite tactful.

"Commander, is this really considered tactful?" Kroos asked, puzzled. It sounded like a clear rejection, and it even mocked the other party's lack of skill.

The commander's emotional intelligence is so unpredictable.

Then Chen Yi's foot was stepped on again, this time with some force.

"Miss Mai, I don't think I have that kind of strange fetish, so there's no need to reward me." Chen Yi tried to pull his foot back, but the pain in his toes became even more intense.

"I was wrong, I was wrong..." Chen Yi quickly apologized as he felt his toes getting cold.

......

Yukino's words were merciless, like a sharp knife piercing Yukino's fragile heart.

However, refuting this seems to confirm the label of 'childish willfulness'.

Therefore, on the way home, Yukino could only sulk.

"Yukino, do you know why we brought you back this time?" After arriving home, Yukino Shinobu sat down on the sofa, poured herself a glass of water, and spoke in a flat tone.

"do not know."

"What do you think of Chen Yi?" Yukinoshita Haruno didn't answer directly, but suddenly shifted the topic to an unrelated person.

"Based on your own honest opinion."

“An international student, calm personality, and better at math than me,” Yukino replied briefly.

“Wrong.” Yang Nai shook his head, took a sip, paused, and said again.

“This international student was attacked by spies several times after landing in Japan and miraculously survived... This is extremely rare in the entire country of Japan. Moreover, he did not suffer any serious injuries or leave any irreversible psychological problems. He is someone you can only look up to but never catch up to.” Yukinoshita Haruno refuted her mercilessly.

“Look at yourself again. For safety reasons, we sent you to study at Tokyo University for elementary and junior high school, but this has also made you ignorant and clueless. If you watched the news regularly, you would know why I called you back this time.”

"..." Yukinoshita fell silent, because she was indeed very smart and could instantly understand the cause and effect of things.

One direct reason for the sharp drop in Yukinoshita's stock price was the intrusion of numerous spoofs into a luxury apartment building in the city center on a day of torrential rain. This major incident thoroughly exposed that Yukinoshita's real estate advertising of security guarantees was nothing but a bubble.

Her sister, after resolving the company's issues, immediately thought of the safety of her residence and went to persuade her to go home...

"I'm sorry... Sister." Yukino Yukinoshita understood what was going on and bowed her head in apology.

"If there's nothing else, go pack the necessary things. The security at home is definitely better than here." Yukinoshita waved her hand, her mood gradually calming down.

She was looking for some fun again, so she naturally thought of Chen Yi, the first mysterious male student from Dongda University who had given her a hard time.

"Hey handsome, are you there? How about chatting with me for a bit?"
