There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"It's okay, Lingyin, don't ask."

"Eh? Is that so? Why did Hui give the same answer as my brother? It seems that I am the only one who is excluded." After complaining helplessly, Suzune suddenly asked as if she remembered something: "Come to think of it, you knew Kasumigaoka-senpai before you transferred here, right? You seem to be very familiar with her, but she doesn't know you. Why is that?"

"Of course I'm familiar with her. We were close friends in our previous life, but she has forgotten that memory." Kato Megumi gave a lovely smile.

"Please don't make such silly jokes about your past life or something like that."

"I'm not lying. We are more than just close friends."

Kato Megumi raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint and very cute smile, and suddenly turned her head to look at Lingyin who had a helpless look on her face.

In the clear and gentle voice like a trickle of water, there is also a faint smile: "Senior sister is my 'defeat'."

-------------------------------------

Although the stars are not as bright as the moon, they also emit their own light.

Two graceful figures walked in the deserted alley as if taking a stroll, and under the illumination of the street lights, they unexpectedly created a hazy beauty.

Yukino let down the lively ponytail she had been accustomed to for some time, and her long black hair, as soft as a waterfall, fell down her back. The long-term binding of the rubber band did not leave any marks on her black hair.

It’s been a long time since I last saw my shoulder-length hair.

When did I get used to having a ponytail?

After all, it can't affect the battle, right? Not cutting the hair short is already the biggest willfulness.

Beside her, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who also had a waterfall of long hair, stood side by side with her with an expressionless face. After half a day of contact, the two should be a little familiar with each other, at least not completely strangers, but neither of them intended to speak first.

Kasumigaoka Utaha still didn't get Kitahara Sora's contact information, which made her very angry. Although she was in a bad mood, she had no reason or excuse to lose her temper.

After all, you can't force others to be your friends, right?

But his lack of interest in her was inevitably a bit of a blow to the girl. Not to mention that her figure couldn't arouse men's primitive desires in that aspect, was he ruthlessly rejecting her just to be friends with her?

Or did he just hate himself all along? Was it because his first impression was too bad?

Just now, at the Kitahara family, when Miss Yukinoshita slowly walked over, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought she was going to have to go through a "fierce battle", but she didn't react as violently as that junior schoolmate Kato, and even gave her the illusion that she wanted to persuade Kitahara Sora.

Yukino just smiled faintly at that and turned her flawless face towards him.

He asked casually, "What do you think, Kitahara-kun? The beautiful girl took the initiative to ask for your contact information. At least in my opinion, Miss Kasumigaoka wants to get to know you with the utmost sincerity, so what do you think?"

Was this speaking for her or threatening him, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't tell, but when Yukinoshita asked this question, Kitahara Sora was silent for a few seconds and then slowly shook his head.

He didn't give a reason, just said, "I'm going to take a shower, Yukino, please take Miss Kasumigaoka to the hotel." Then he turned and left.

He just turned and left!

Just left like that!

Why? Am I not worthy of being your friend? Although I still have the selfish intention of "sending you the manuscript I will write later by email for reference", I am serious about being friends!

It’s not wrong for me to take time off and come here from far away to ask for advice, but my most sincere gratitude is also part of it!

So angry, so aggrieved...

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed weakly, and suddenly raised her head to gaze at the starry sky.

"Do you feel bad?" A soft voice came from the ear, and Kasumigaoka's helpless eyes turned cold, returning to the indifference of the school's 'flower of the high mountain'.

"I'm not too upset about it yet."

Kasumigaoka's voice has a feminine magnetism and is very charming.

She just spoke casually, with the unique temptation of a mature older sister, but this temptation was not excessive, just enough to give people the feeling that she was not an "open" girl.

"Although your matter makes him feel a little 'troublesome', it doesn't mean that he hates you."

"I'm actually wondering what I didn't do well enough, or why Ms. Kato reacted so strongly. I don't remember when I had any misunderstandings with her, and isn't it normal for people to communicate with each other? Even if he and I exchanged email addresses, I'm not the kind of shameless person who would often ask him for help. I wouldn't do that."

Kasumigaoka felt that she had lost, and made sufficient preparations to fight against "Yukinoshita". Her fighting spirit even reached its peak.

But this young lady still gives people the impression of being gentle, well-educated and a lady from a noble family. How should I put it, the illusion of a good wife and mother?

Why is this happening? I don't plan to pretend anymore when I go out. There's no need to force myself to act like a polite 'good director'. When I'm in school, can't I even give the dean the cold shoulder?

"I thought you would be the same as Miss Kato. I have even come up with several countermeasures." Kasumigaoka Utaha finally softened her tone and faced this young lady with a normal mind.

After saying this, I actually felt a sense of relief, perhaps the matter was really over.

"So that's how it is." Xueno suddenly couldn't help but chuckle and smiled: "I guessed it."

"then you……"

"I used to have a worse personality than you. No matter who I met, I always had a stern face. Everyone said bad things about me behind my back, and I was actually a victim of 'bullying' in school."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned: "They dare to bully you? The second daughter of the Chiba Group?"

“I didn’t dare to do it blatantly, but it is also a fact that I was isolated.”

Xueno seemed to be lost in her memories. She slowly raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky. Among them, the largest and brightest star in the west was particularly dazzling. It was the Morning Star.

"Actually, these are all caused by my own personality. I used to look down on everyone and thought that everyone was wearing a hypocritical mask. The teacher's persuasion was to please me because I was the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family. The girls nervously approached me because they admired me, who was the top student in the school and also very cute. Maybe I could bring some benefits to them."

"When facing people who make me uncomfortable, I will say bad things to them, so they say I am a 'venomous girl'. When facing people who I like, I will also treat them coldly, so it is normal that I have no friends - before I met him, I even forgot how many years I hadn't laughed from the bottom of my heart."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at Yukino blankly, and even stopped and asked the other party to stop where she was.

The street light shone on her black hair, and the lead-colored reflection made the faint smile on the second young lady's face even more dazzling.

Suddenly I discovered that Miss Yukinoshita had a faint scar on the left side of her cheek. Why would this natural enemy of women appear on her, and most importantly on her face!

Why did she only notice it now? Shouldn't it be very noticeable? Why didn't this scar detract from her looks, but instead added a touch of strange charm? This shouldn't be the case. It's too weird!

Kasumigaoka Utaha withdrew her gaze, hesitated for a few seconds but still did not ask her doubts, but followed Yukino's topic.

"I don't see any stubborn temper from you. As for the bad character you mentioned, I can't sense it either. When did you start to change?"

"Yeah, since when?" Yukino repeated the sentence.

"I feel it's meaningless. It's meaningless for me to complain and scold those insignificant people." She paused, and her soft tone became a little indifferent: "It should be the time when I disappeared."

Speaking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha's pupils suddenly widened. This was the doubt that she had been holding in her heart. The Chiba disappearance case had caused a lot of controversy, and only two of the missing nameless students came back alive.

The police said that they were kidnapped and the criminal had been brought to justice, but everyone felt that things were not that simple. However, the matter was inexplicably suppressed because the daughter of the consortium was not among the dead.

Originally, Kasumigaoka Utaha planned to keep this curiosity deep in her heart and ask after she and Kitahara Sora became a little more familiar with each other and became friends, but the person involved in the incident took the initiative to bring it up.

"After going through that, I personally have become more open-minded about many things. For example, regarding the matter with Kitahara-kun, I think there is no point in confronting you. I cannot decide anything on behalf of Kitahara-kun, even though we have a good relationship."

"If he is willing to be friends with you, I will even be happy for him. In fact, he has no friends in this world just like us."

"Really?" Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed helplessly, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable frustration rose in her heart, "Maybe I am too self-righteous. In his eyes, I am not qualified to have anything to do with him?"

"He will never have such an idea. Ms. Kasumigaoka's frustration is only about writing. In fact, in terms of grades, he should be considered a 'bad student'."

Yukino looked at the self-deprecating Kasumigaoka and felt inexplicably sad.

During the Alien copy, I heard Kitahara Sora talk about Hui's story, but she only revealed the story of the male and female protagonists. In fact, she didn't know about Kasumigaoka Utaha.

But there is a key point that Yukino remembers, that is, many girls like Aki Tomoya.

Recalling the "Love Metronome" that Tomoya Aki treasured, as well as this creative incident, and the fact that Kei said at the office door that she and Kasumigaoka were from the same school.

Yukino didn't even know who this girl was, so her reaction was way too slow.

So Yukino guessed without a second thought the real reason why Kitahara Sora rejected Kasumigaoka. It was troublesome for one thing, but he also hoped not to disturb her. After all, he had apologized to her very solemnly for this matter in the beginning.

Maybe that guy had a great liking for this character when watching the anime.

"In fact, Hui is really doing this for your own good. The best choice is to not have any intersection with us. Not only Kitahara-kun, if you say you want to be friends with me and Hui, I think we will all refuse."

'If we were all normal people, living normal lives, not only us, I think Kitahara-kun would also be happy to be friends with you,' Yukino added in her mind.

"Yukinoshita-san, your words will make me very embarrassed, and I will care about the reason."

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly felt offended again, but she still suppressed the little anger in her heart, "Is it true that I am not worthy of you? I don't think it's fun to trample on others' sincerity. Besides, I'm not begging. I'm not that humble."

"It's not that you don't deserve it." Xueno shook her head, her tone a little sad and helpless: "It's that we are not worthy of having friends."

You are not qualified?

Kasumigaoka Utaha's anger suddenly subsided by half, and she just felt a little puzzled. Then the doubts were magnified, and even greater anger rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Are you really teasing me?"

Yukino looked at Kasumigaoka, whose face was covered in frost, but she didn't know how to explain. Just as the atmosphere became tense, a frivolous whistle made the two of them turn their heads at the same time and look forward.

The public security in the island country is better than that in Western countries, but it is not outstanding in Asia, especially at night, when crimes are magnified and all kinds of distortions arise.

This is all thanks to the island nation's unique 'pick-up culture'. Without a male companion, the chance of a pretty woman being picked up is almost 50%. Of course, the sun will cover up all sins, and most of them are gentlemen.

But now only the stars are with the two seemingly fragile girls.

"Chatting up?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned, then became alert and reached for her bag.

As she continued to touch, her face became serious. She touched all the female items including pens, papers, small mirrors, lipsticks, etc., but she didn't touch the anti-wolf spray or the stun gun...

Of course it would be like this! I didn't prepare these things at all! My plan was to go home before the afternoon, but I was still wandering around in Chiba at almost 10 o'clock!

As the three tall and thin shadows got closer, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly became nervous and even a little anxious.

Why did Yukinoshita-san take me to the hotel? Why did I have to go through a remote neighborhood to get to the hotel for just two kilometers?

Why did I follow her here? Oh, where is this? Why did we end up in the park?

Is Kitahara that guy so confident? Asshole!

"Hey, lovely lady, do you want to play with us?"

Young men wearing leather jackets and earrings and lip piercings slowly appeared in the field of vision. The three of them were extremely skinny, and it was obvious that this was caused by long-term use of certain drugs.

Although they approached Yukino and Shiha slowly, it was obvious that they were ready to give chase at any time.

"Really? I've lived for seventeen years and have only seen these scum on TV and in the news. I never thought I'd run into them. Reality really doesn't make sense."

Yukino shook her head helplessly, but there was no worry or fear in her tone, which made Kasumigaoka feel inexplicably calmer.

"Do you have a bodyguard protecting you secretly?"

"That kind of thing is too exaggerated. Even if she is a young lady, she goes to and from school like ordinary people."

"Kitahara-kun is actually following us quietly?" Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head and looked behind her.

"According to the time, he should have just finished taking a shower."

"Then what the hell are you sighing about! Are you an idiot?" Kasumigaoka grabbed Yukino's wrist without saying a word and tried to run back, but when she pulled so hard she staggered and almost fell, while Yukino didn't move at all.

"Ladies, are you guys playing here? It's already ten o'clock. How about we take you home? Or how about we join you?"

This is a park. There will be many people here during the day, but at night there are only homeless people and gloomy-looking street lights, or this kind of "magical creature"?

It seemed that they had been following the two for some time.

"Kasumigaoka-san, do you know why Kitahara-kun asked me to take you there?" Yukino said calmly, as if chatting casually, "Actually, I'm just on my way home. I'll reach the hotel I booked for you after passing through this park. It's only five minutes away from here."

"That kind of thing is not something we should be thinking about right now. What should we do now..."

Yukino gently pulled her wrist, and the touch was as soft as her own hands, but it did not make the girl feel at ease at all.

"Excuse me, how are you going to 'play' with us? If we refuse, what will you do?"

The girl's words startled the magical creatures, and then they burst into laughter. The guy with the lip piercing said with a smile: "How about we go have a drink first?"

"Sorry, we are still in high school and can't drink."

"JK!" Another guy with a strange tattoo on his neck suddenly got excited, "Then let's go to karaoke!"

"I'm sorry, I'm tone-deaf." Yukino smiled regretfully and asked, "So please don't block our way home?"

It would have been fine if she didn't smile, but this smile stunned the three creatures, and one of them even drooled.

"Run, run quickly!" Kasumigaoka Utaha anxiously pulled Yukino's hand, but it was motionless, like prying an iron rod. At this critical moment, she did not consider why Yukino was so strong.

"Run? Don't run! Play with us, and we'll take you home after you're done, how about that!" After saying that, the three of them quickened their pace and walked over.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was so anxious that she was about to cry, but she still did not let go of Yukino's hand. She just kept pulling and calling her an idiot.

"If you want money, I can satisfy you. Going to a sex shop is at least legal. Is this because you have no money to spend?"

"Money, we have it! Do you want money?"

"It seems I can do it without any psychological pressure." Xueno shook her head regretfully, her eyes turned cold, "But I have to trouble my sister again."

A chilly wind appeared beside her, and the bone-chilling coldness was transmitted from her palm to Kasumigaoka's hand, causing her to gasp and let go of Yukino's hand.

Then, the girl's anxious expression turned into astonishment, and then her beautiful pupils slowly widened, and she stayed in place as if she was cast under a spell of immobilization.
