Under Luo Zhen's gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt the pressure mounting and her mind becoming increasingly confused.

at last........

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Utaha Kasumigaoka, hugging her knees and crouching in the corner, looked utterly withdrawn.

This experience can definitely be called the darkest chapter in her life.

Moreover, he died in front of a crowd of people.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that if she were to die on the spot, it would be a social death.

Now, she's thinking about more than just going back in time to suppress that restless version of herself.

Instead, he wanted to go back in time and stab that version of himself, so that she would shut up and never speak again.

There's nothing wrong with leaving this beautiful world altogether.

A person can be killed, but not socially dead.

Hayasaka Ai, who was squatting in the corner, had a slight glint in her eyes.

Although Luo Zhen did not answer Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, Hayasaka Ai still remembered that name.

She was skeptical of Luo Zhen's claim of memory erasure.

After all, the only supernatural powers she has seen so far are Luo Zhen and that man, and the mechanism that Luo Zhen mentioned only exists in the other party's description.

It's perfectly normal to have doubts.

More importantly, as a maid in the Shinomiya family, Hayasaka Ai had never heard of the existence of any supernatural forces.

Although it sounds arrogant, the Shinomiya family is still one of the most powerful and influential families in all of Japan.

How could I be completely unaware of such a thing?

Silently noting down Luo Zhen's name, Hayasaka Ai resolved to tell Kaguya-sama when she got back and to investigate the name thoroughly.

With the power of the Shinomiya family, investigating someone is quite simple.

The premise is that it is limited to ordinary people.

Regardless of what Hayasaka Ai is really thinking, all of this is destined to come to nothing.

When she leaves this place, she is destined not to remember anything about it.

A few hours later————

"What am I doing...?"

At the Shinomiya residence, Hayasaka Ai clutched her head, looking somewhat dazed.

What was I just doing?

"Hayasaka, Father wants you to come over."

A man in a suit stood in the corridor and spoke to Hayasaka Ai.

His name was Shinomiya Un'taka, the son of his second wife, and the third son, so his status in the Shinomiya family was very low.

At the same time, it is very unfriendly to Hayasaka Ai.

To be precise, this applies to all people with the surname Hayasaka.

Because he clearly understood the significance of Hayasaka Ai being assigned to Kaguya Shinomiya's side, as he himself once had someone he deeply trusted.

"Ok."

With her eyes lowered, Hayasaka Ai brushed past Shinomiya Un'taka.

The moment Hayasaka Ai passed by him, Shinomiya Untaka's lips twitched slightly before he strode away.

Hayasaka Ai was left behind, her expression uncertain.

"I thought today would be a long-awaited day off."

Turning our attention to the other side, Luo Zhen and Asukai Kiki, who had already deactivated their transformations, were strolling through the streets.

At this time, the streets gradually became more crowded, and Luo Zhen and Asukai Kiki tacitly chose a less crowded spot.

Neither of them is the type to enjoy crowds.

On the contrary, they might prefer places with fewer people.

However, although Asukai Kiki likes fewer people, she doesn't like being alone.

She prefers scenes with a few people, but not many.

"It's clearly because you don't want to rest."

The long scarf covered the lower half of Asukai Kiki's face; it wasn't the one she wore before leaving the house.

Luo Zhen picked it out at a certain store.

Asukai Kiki said she did not want to comment further on Luo Zhen's words.

"Then what can be done?"

Shrugging, Luo Zhen said with a hint of helplessness:

"If I hadn't seen it, I could have assumed the world was very peaceful and serene, and ignored the tragedies that happen all the time."

"But once you've seen it, you can't just pretend it didn't happen."

Luo Zhen doesn't spend his days wandering the city looking for and fighting crime like those superheroes.

But that doesn't mean he'll choose to ignore certain events that happen right in front of him.

If you see it, you must solve it.

There weren't many reasons or special causes.

For children, justice is simple and pure.

But to many adults, the world is very complicated.

It can't be explained in just a few words.

The world has never changed; what has changed is people.

Many things don't actually need a reason, just like liking someone doesn't need many reasons.

If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it.

I don't know when it started, but now I need a reason to like someone, and I also need a reason to dislike someone.

"That certainly sounds like something you would say."

Asukai Kiki's voice sounded very calm, as if she had expected Luo Zhen's words.

Heroes are truly admirable.

But to be fair, Asukai Kiki didn't really want the person around her to be a hero in the traditional sense.

Because it means they will lose a lot and bear a lot.

"What kind of words would I say?"

"It's your words."

"what is this?"

"Who knows?"

With a light laugh, Asukai Kiki put her hands behind her back and suddenly took a few big steps ahead of Luo Zhen.

Long black hair floated in the air, a strand of which gently brushed against Luo Zhen's nose, leaving a faint fragrance.

Tiny snowflakes drifted down from the sky, gently landing on earth.

One, two, three.

This winter shouldn't be so boring.

Chapter 451 So this is the type you like?

School starts.

This word is not a very pleasant word for students of all ages.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

For example, a super-achiever who gets exceptionally good grades and feels uncomfortable if they don't study.

Sometimes you have to admit that some people are born different from others; they are just able to learn very well and genuinely enjoy the sense of fulfillment and joy that learning brings.

Besides top students, they are people who have outstanding performance in school clubs.

For them, the club's space is their stage.

He enjoys the admiring gaze of others every moment.

Of course, as I always say, there are always exceptions.

The last type is couples who live far apart.

This type of couple is more common in universities.

Because we live in different cities, we have relatively few opportunities to meet during holidays.

If you want to meet, you have to go to the other person's city.

This kind of situation is rare in Japanese dramas, after all, everyone knows the situation in Japan.

Normally, unless you're traveling from one end of Japan to the other, the journey between the two cities takes about half an hour to two hours by car.

Therefore, this situation generally does not hold true.

However, for many young couples, the feeling of dating is still stronger when they are in school.

Therefore, such things generally vary from person to person.

Luo Zhen is the type who doesn't have any particular feelings about the start of school; he's neither resistant nor happy about it.

"School's starting."

Carrying the lunch he bought outside, Luo Zhen belatedly realized that his vacation was almost over.

In contrast, the vacation of a certain writer who was known for his skepticism has not yet arrived.

My date with Asukai Kiki, which was a few days ago, continued after dealing with the unexpected incident.

The two tacitly separated their lives and work into two parts.

Afterwards, when they were walking on the street, the two really acted like ordinary friends.

They chatted about the little things in life, and about stories they had encountered that were worth sharing or that they hoped to share with others.

"Senior Luo Zhen, you haven't forgotten the start date of school, have you?"

Narumi Ryou, who was also carrying a convenience bag but which contained groceries she had bought for her mother, cast a suspicious glance at her.

Although Luo Zhen usually appears to be a very reliable person, Meisou Ryou has no doubt that Luo Zhen will forget the date of the start of school.

After all, judging from how much effort Luo Zhen put into his 'part-time job,' his studies definitely came second to his part-time job.

For Luo Zhen, as long as he can still do part-time work, dropping out of school might be an acceptable thing.

Thinking of this, Narumi suddenly felt like saying something to persuade Luo Zhen, but she didn't know where to begin.

For most people, the purpose of completing their studies is not to pursue further education or contribute to the world, but to find a suitable job with that diploma.

Senior Luo Zhen already has his own 'job'.

The salary seems to be quite high.

Ming Piaoliang once overheard Luo Zhen casually mentioning that he now supports himself financially.

As for why the parents didn't give money?

Ming Piaoliang did not ask this question.

"I did forget before."

Scratching his head, Luo Zhen readily admitted this.
