As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

Why are you so calm!

With a little indignation, Kujo Rin turned her head and gently tore off a small page from her notebook.

The black gel pen moved slightly, and soon, a line of beautiful handwriting flowed out from the pen -

[Yuanjun, what does the letter you sent me this morning mean? ]

This morning, Kujo Rin woke up from her sleep as usual.

When she finished washing up as usual and went to the restaurant for breakfast, she found an envelope lying quietly on the table with the words 'From Kujo Rin' written on it.

As someone who often passed notes with Genki during class, Kujo Rin naturally recognized whose handwriting it was at a glance.

But Yuanhui obviously had her phone number. If there was anything, he could just call her or send her a message. Why did he have to write her such a serious letter?

Kujo Rin was extremely confused and puzzled by this.

After picking up the letter, she asked the maid who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen: "When did Yuanjun send this?"

"Just a short while ago."

The personal maid answered with a hint of smile.

"He just knocked on the door and then handed me this letter, hoping that I would 'make sure' to pass it on to you, young lady."

The maid emphasized the word "must".

But after seeing that her eldest daughter was still confused and didn't seem to understand what was going on, the maid couldn't help but sighed. She couldn't help but remind her -

"Miss, in this day and age, isn't this the only thing that can allow a man to use a letter to deliver a message?"

"..." Kujo Rin blinked a few times in confusion, but then she understood what her maid was saying.

"You mean, this is a love, love, love letter?"

"What else could it be, my young lady?" The maid sighed slightly, as if she was lamenting the slowness of her young lady.

It’s not like Kujo Rin has never received love letters.

In fact, as a beautiful girl with a top family background and good looks, the love letters she received are enough to hold a love letter expo.

The reason why she didn't react just now was because she couldn't imagine that Yuan Hui would actually do something like sending a love letter.

Obviously he was so cold to her before, and even kept his distance deliberately...

No, it's too early to believe the maid's one-sided story.

Maybe this is just her wishful thinking.

As soon as she opened the letter, she would find that it was not a love letter at all, but a series of...

Well, anything other than a love letter.

Although he thought so in his heart, Kujo Rin opened the envelope in front of him so gently, as if he was afraid of damaging the things inside.

After opening the light blue envelope, a neatly folded piece of paper appeared in front of the girl.

After opening it, the boy's familiar handwriting came into view -

【Kujo Rin:】

[Do you have time during lunch break? If so, can you go to the small church in the center of St. Eden Academy? I have something important to tell you.]

[Of course, whether you come or not, I will be waiting for you there at noon today. ]

【——Yuan Hui】

There isn't much to this passage.

It can even be described as pitifully small.

But if you want to disturb a young girl's heart, it is completely enough.

Kujo Rin read this passage three times before the meaning of these words fully entered her mind and formed a passage that she could correctly recognize.

Wait, wait, wait.

This seems, maybe, probably, almost...

Is it really a love letter?

……

Even though she had already arrived at school, Kujo Rin still had a sense of unreality.

She was actually secretly observing Yuanhui, but did not find that he was any different from usual.

Could it be that the letter was not actually written by Yuanhui, but was a prank by someone else?

It was with this thought in mind that Kujo Rin wrote the note.

After finishing it, she handed it to Mimi as usual.

Leave it to Yuanhui.

After a while, Yuan Hui's answer came to her hand -

【That’s what’s written in the letter.】

It turned out to be a letter actually written by him!

At this point, no matter how hard it was to believe, Kujo Rin had to admit the fact.

So, what exactly did Yuanhui want to do by asking her there?

[Are you trying to confess to me? ]

Kujo Rin looked at the note he had written, and after hesitating for a moment, he crossed it out completely.

This is a bit too straightforward.

So what exactly should I write?

Kujo Rin's mind was completely confused, and she couldn't even figure out how she felt for a moment.

If Yuanhui really confessed to her, would she be happy?

Will she happily agree or apologetically refuse?

To be honest, Kujo Rin is a little confused now.

What exactly does she think of this young man Yuanhui?

Why did she get close to him in the first place?

It seemed to be because he was of the same kind as himself, the only spirit binder in Class A of the first year of high school.

But the problem is, Yuanhui is not the first of his kind she has seen?

Why didn't she have a similar feeling with other soul binders?

Kujo Rin couldn't figure it out.

She only knew that there was something in Yuanhui that no other soul binder had, and it attracted her deeply.

She didn't understand what that thing was.

But she could find out.

The originally confused strokes regained clarity, and Kujo Rin found another piece of paper and wrote a sentence -

[Okay, I will go to the appointment at noon.]

……

……

In fact, Kujo Rin had known about this small church in the center of St. Eden Academy for a long time.

It is actually one of the eight campus legends of Saint Eden Academy, and it is the "Church that can never be opened."

Yes, although this church has a door, neither students nor faculty have ever seen it open.

What is even more puzzling is that, although no one has maintained this chapel, its walls and windows have always remained spotless, as if they were insulated from dust.

Not only that, there is always a pure white candle burning inside the church that never goes out...

All of this gives this small church a mysterious and awe-inspiring atmosphere.

If there is nothing special, the students of St. Eden Academy will never go near this place.

Although some of them were not aware of the Soul Binders and the dark side of this society, they must have been warned by their parents long ago not to get close to such a strange-looking place.

This is the way to survive in this world.

Ordinary people would naturally be afraid of this place, but Kujo Rin is a soul binder.

Moreover, she knew the secret of this church.

St. Eden Academy is a rather mysterious place.

In this aristocratic school, there has never been a single strange injury incident since its establishment.

Kujo Rin doesn't know much about the inside story, but according to her elders, it should be related to the mysterious principal of St. Eden Academy.

And this small church is said to be her favorite dwelling place.

Judging from various signs in the past, the principal of St. Eden Academy should be a person who is very kind to students, or a protector of students.

Well, she wouldn't blame me for just getting a little closer, right?

Kujo Rin thought that Genki would be waiting for her outside the church, but when she arrived there, she unexpectedly found that the door that had been closed was wide open, as if welcoming something.

Kujo Rin did not go in immediately, but instead poked his head inside first, wanting to take a peek at the scenery inside and to see if Genhui was there.

She saw the obsidian floor of the church, the walls that were so white that they seemed unbelievable, the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and the thousands of candles burning quietly inside them.

Of course, she also saw the boy's back.

He was standing in front of the tall cross, looking up at it, wondering what he was thinking.

The holy candlelight illuminated his handsome face, giving him a divine glow.

At this moment, Kujo Rin even felt that the boy in front of him was not a human being at all, but an incarnation of a god walking in the world...

Kujo Rin is naturally not a flower-crazy person.

But at that moment, she was still stunned.

It was not until the young man sensed her presence and turned back to look at her that she came back to her senses from this trance-like state.

"You're here." Although the boy's voice was not loud, it was unusually clear when it reached her ears.

It was as if the entire church was responding to his words.

"Yeah." After agreeing softly, Kujo Rin stepped into this mysterious place.

The girl's cheeks became slightly red because of what just happened, but her steps did not hesitate at all.

It was as if this place was not a restricted area of ​​the academy at all, but an ordinary chapel.

She walked step by step to the boy's side.

After looking at the cross that exuded an unusual sense of oppression with a slightly surprised look, she turned to look at the young man next to her.

"Yuan Jun, don't you have something to tell me?" Her tone was mixed with strong curiosity and a hint of shyness. "What is it that requires you to explain it so seriously?"

"Let her tell you the details." Yuanhui did not answer directly, but handed Kujo Rin a mobile phone.

The phone was connected, and a voice that was very familiar to Kujo Rin came out from it——

"Rin, it's me."

"Xiao Wei!" Kujo Rin opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then put the phone to his ear, "What's the matter? Why can't you tell me directly, but have to go through Yuanjun?"

"Ah, this is a long story..." Akinomiya Wei's tone immediately became a little subtle.

She told her best friend what happened last night, that Minamoto had killed Shuzuka Daimyojin and set her free.

"In other words, Xiao Wei, you are free?" For Kujo Rin, this was undoubtedly great news.

She even cried for joy for a moment, and crystal clear tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes and could not be wiped away no matter what she did.

"Don't cry..." Akinomiya Yui naturally noticed the sobs in Kujo Rin's words. She knew that Kujo Rin was sincerely happy for her, but -

"I'm sorry, Rin."

After that, accompanied by unimaginable majesty, words like a loud bell reached Kujo Rin's ears.
