People are in the real teaching, but the inner world

"Forget it. If I had known you were a weirdo, I wouldn't have been surprised."

But she added, "If you go out like this, you're bound to attract attention. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"It's okay. If someone I know sees us, I won't say a word. Just help me make up a story."

"I'm sorry, I don't like lying."

"Is that so... Then let's start playing a role-playing game. I will play a magician named Richard, and you will be my maid."

"Do you want to be spanked?"

"Then don't be a maid anymore, you become my mother."

"Forget it, just say we're friends."

Lingyin sighed.

So, dressed like this, the two of them came to the convenience store.

It is impossible to eat in a crowded place, so after thinking it over, I decided to buy some lunch boxes here.

Convenience stores sell bento boxes, which are packaged in plastic boxes. All you have to do is take them home and heat them up.

He was indeed quite eye-catching along the way, but fortunately, he didn't meet any acquaintances.

Even if there are acquaintances, they won’t want to go up and say hello when they see Lingyin.

But there is one exception.

And they met at the door of a convenience store after buying dinner.

----

Kikyo looked at the two of them in confusion, then stepped forward to greet them:

"Hello, Horikita-san."

"Hello." Although she was a little reluctant, her good upbringing forced her to do so.

"Who is this?" Kikyo looked at Eito, "He looks familiar. Could he be Horikita's...boyfriend?"

She had seen the two holding hands, so she asked this.

Lingyin denied:

"No, he's my friend..." Looking at Eito's outfit, Suzune nodded slightly, "Well, he's a little mentally unstable, so I'm helping to take care of him."

A mentally ill person: "..."

Kikyo's expression:

"I see. If he's mentally ill, why not just send him to the hospital? And Horikita-san's friends aren't normal people after all. Is this what they call birds of a feather flock together?"

There are two ironic points in this sentence. One is that Lingyin is not normal either, and the other is that she is not a human being.

Lingyin understood what he said, but she wasn't too angry. She was too lazy to waste time talking to this person.

"Are you done? I'm leaving now."

"Wait a moment."

Just as the two of them passed by Kikyo, Eito's arm was grabbed by her.

Kikyo went up to it, sniffed it, and said:

"Why does it smell so familiar? Could it be that you are——"

Lingyin interrupted her: "Are you born in the year of the dog? Why do you have such a keen sense of smell?"

Kikyo replied calmly:

"Yes, I have memorized the smell of Horikita-san in my mind, and I am waiting to be reborn as a dog and bite you to death."

The two of them had already fallen out, so there was no need to be polite when speaking to each other.

Lingyin sneered and pulled him forward.

Kikyo continued to pester him, and even hugged his other arm:

"Want to play with me? I'm much more interesting than this woman."

Eito didn't say anything, so Suzune spoke for him:

"I'm so sorry, he can't talk."

"Mute?" Kikyo smiled sweetly, "What a coincidence, I have a friend who also likes to pretend to be mute."

"No, he's not really mute." Lingyin explained, "He suffers from a delusion that he can't speak."

"That's great, I have a cure for this symptom."

"What?" Lingyin was slightly surprised.

She couldn't imagine that Platycodon had this method. Although she made up the symptoms, she still couldn't think of it.

"That's it..." Kikyo tapped her lips with her finger, "If you just let me kiss you, this symptom will be cured immediately."

"Huh? You're sick too?"

"No, Horikita-san, let me tell you a secret. My saliva has the special effect of treating this symptom. If you don't believe me, I'll try it and show you."

"No, I won't allow it."

"Why, aren't you his friend? Is it your business?"

"I……"

Lingyin's eyes were a little hesitant, but soon became firm.

Just as she was about to speak, Eito sighed:

"Kikyou, stop acting. And Suzune, she's already figured it out. You've been fooled by her."

"Hehe, Eito is still smart. Horikita-san is so stupid~" Kikyo said, not forgetting to give Suzune a disdainful look.

However, Lingyin didn't look at her, but said to him in a somewhat unhappy tone:

"So this is your fault, I can tell just by the smell. You've done a lot of bad things."

He couldn't argue.

And Kikyo said for him:

"It's not all his fault. Who told you to say he's your friend? Horikita-san, you probably only have one friend in this school."

"...You don't have to speak for me." Saying this would only make Suzune even angrier, but he knew that Kikyo said this on purpose just to make Suzune angry.

"But..." Kikyo lowered her head and said sadly, "I saw someone talking about you, so I got excited for a moment..."

"Uh... stop pretending."

"I'm not pretending." Kikyo looked up at him, her face slightly red, and said, "I really think so."

His intuition told him that what Kikyo said was true.

Even though underneath that seriousness, there were other emotions hidden.

Chapter 122: Deep Love

"enough."

Suzune forcibly separated the two, "Kushida-san, he and I have something else to do, so if you have nothing else to do, go harass the other boys."

According to the past situation, Kikyo would be angry at this time, but this time she was not. Instead, she smiled:

"I really can't do anything about Horikita-san, so I'm leaving now."

Before leaving, she looked at Eito and said, "Please comfort me properly next time. It's not fair that Horikita-san is the only one doing it."

He waved to the two of them and left in high spirits.

Lingyin looked at her back with a look of doubt in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Even if Kikyo had changed, she didn't want to investigate the reasons because it had nothing to do with her.

But she still had a question:

"How far have you and her progressed?"

"last step."

He hesitated for a moment, then replied.

"Really?" Lingyin nodded, her cold appearance showing no emotion.

"...You won't be angry, will you?"

"Why should I be angry?" Lingyin's expression remained unchanged. "What does it have to do with me?"

"sorry."

"You don't have to apologize to me. I already knew you were this kind of person, so there's nothing to be surprised about." Lingyin sighed, "Besides, you and I are not in a relationship, so there's no need to apologize."

"OK then."

After that, we didn't say another word on the way back.

He could see that Lingyin was in a bad mood, so he didn't plan to disturb her.

And Lingyin seemed to be thinking about something.

Back to the dormitory, we had dinner peacefully.

In order to avoid having to go out again tomorrow, I have already bought tomorrow's food.

And then, the first problem arose.

"I want to go to the bathroom." Lingyin said, "Please put this on before I go."

Lingyin took out a box of earplugs from the shopping bag and handed it to him. She bought them at the convenience store earlier.

"and this."

She took out another black cloth and motioned for him to cover his eyes.

"Lingyin, you've prepared everything," he praised.

He was not discouraged by this. He had no intention of peeking in the first place, so he cooperated and put on the things.

Then Lingyin pulled him to the toilet.

Shrouded in darkness, he could see nothing and hear nothing.

However, this also caused a problem, his nose became extremely sensitive.

Lingyin seemed to have overlooked this point. Should I remind her?

Still, I'd better remind you.

"Suzune, can I smell it?"

"What do you say? Cover it yourself."

"Oh."

"Remember not to smell it, or I will never talk to you again."

There was something so serious in her tone that left him no doubt that Suzune would indeed do it.

After that, he didn't know what happened.

After returning to the room, Lingyin took off his eye patch and everything else.

"You seem disappointed." Lingyin said, "Is it because you can take advantage of the fact that no accident happened?"

"No, it's because I did such a good job but there was no reward."

Lingyin seemed to be in a good mood: "Since you are so obedient, I will satisfy you. Come on, open your mouth."

She said, putting a candy bar into his mouth.

So sweet.

however.

"I'm not a child, and children nowadays are not that easy to deal with."
