Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Since I didn’t take a shower when I came back yesterday, I had to leave it to the morning.

After washing, I put my clothes into the basket and prepared to wash them in the washing machine, but...

"Hmm? Shouldn't there be another pair of underwear here?"

Oreki Xian suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing.

And it’s underwear again!

But this time it’s not right, right?

I clearly saw it last night when I went to the toilet... Is there something wrong with my memory? This is impossible.

I don’t have Alzheimer’s, so how could there be problems all the time?

The underwear just disappeared.

Just like previous events, he magically disappeared from his room, and then magically reappeared after a while.

Should it be attributed to factors such as ghosts and gods? Oreki Gen didn't believe it. At least there must be no ghosts and gods around him, excluding the system.

So it must be someone who came to my room and took away my underwear after I fell asleep, and it was after I went to the toilet... So who was it?

It seems the answer is obvious.

Kikyo Satomi, it’s only her, it must be her.

Because it was the only ability of hers that I hadn't figured out. I used to think that maybe she didn't have this ability, but now it seems that she does, and this ability is related to stealth. Perhaps she can enter her room very secretly, ignoring the existence of door locks and walls.

This ability is a bit bad... If the other party attacks me while I'm sleeping, it would be completely impossible to defend against it. I can't stay awake, and no one knows when the other party will come.

The young man's ambition, which had just ignited, became a little depressed again.

Indeed, one should not be too proud and complacent.

I packed my things, did my laundry, then took my schoolbag and opened the door.

When Oreki Gen walked into the corridor.

The door of the next room also opened at the same time, as if a switch had been turned on. It was a coincidence that couldn't be more coincidental.

When Oreki Gen turned around, he saw a figure walking out into the sunshine.

The soft long hair reflects luster in the sun, without any wilting or frizziness, and is as dense and long as a black waterfall.

She wore light makeup and a white short-sleeved shirt and a long A-line skirt.

It seems that there is a slight change from her previous image, but she looks more gentle and approachable.

When she saw Oreki Gen, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

“Ah, Oreki-kun, what a coincidence.”

"yes..."

Oreki Gen thought about it, then continued.

"Sorry, I was a little sleepy last night and was in a hurry to go back to bed, so I didn't say anything..."

While saying this, Oreki Gen looked apologetic, but in fact, his eyes were paying attention to the other person's expression.

There didn't seem to be any change in Kikyo Rimi's expression.

He just looked at the boy with some surprise.

“Ah… what happened last night? It’s okay. I can see that Oreki-kun is having a hard time. Don’t worry, I’m not such an ignorant woman. I just feel a little sorry for you.”

"Really? I still feel bad..."

“I’m fine, don’t worry. Oreki-kun, don’t work too hard, and make sure you get enough rest.”

"Well, I see."

"Let's go, or we'll be late for work."

"it is good."

They walked downstairs together and basked in the sunshine. Throughout the whole process, Kikyo Rimi didn't look at all unusual.

Even if Oreki Gen pretended that he did not sleep well last night and seemed to have heard some noise, the other party completely resolved it without leaving any loopholes.

Until the woman waved and got in the car.

Oreki Gen also boarded the bus to school.

There was no seat, so the boy stood by the window and watched the street scene passing by.

Sometimes, having no flaws is also a flaw, and in the mind of those who have determined the answer, no matter how flawless it is, it still seems like a cover-up.

All this only goes to show that although Kikyo Satomi looks weak, she actually has a strong mental quality and excellent acting skills.

But there seems to be no point in thinking about these things.

Come to school and change your shoes.

This time, Shota Matsuyama did not appear when he was changing his shoes. Instead, he waited until he was walking towards the corridor and then caught up with him from behind.

"Oreki String!"

And the emotions are weird.

Oreki Xian looked at the other person strangely.

"What's wrong? Who messed with you?"

Shota Matsuyama looked at him with a bad expression.

Then say.

"You are lying to me!"

"What did I lie to you about?"

"You said you and Sakuraba-san were just friends!"

"Ah? Did I say that... Maybe I did, what's wrong?"

Shota Matsuyama's eyes widened.

"I heard about it. A lot of people saw you and Sakuraba-san getting on the same car yesterday!"

"So many people...how many people?"

Oreki Gen was stunned. It is true that good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

Shota Matsuyama thought about it.

"Last night, it was probably just one class, but now it's probably the whole school."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Nonsense, do you think Sakuraba-san is an ordinary person? He is a famous figure with a fan club in school!"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot you're still a member."

"Bullshit! Once! Only once!!"

"It's okay." Oreki Gen patted Shota Matsuyama's shoulder and said, "We will also have a bright future. We are not fans of anyone. We are just our own idols."

"What you said... makes my blood boil. Wait, what was I going to ask you just now..."

Matsuyama Shouta really didn't remember what he wanted to say to Oreki Gen in the beginning, and he had forgotten everything about making jokes to the other party.

It seems impossible to pursue the matter further. After all, this boy is a typical person who gets excited when his mind is moved. He thinks whatever he wants and forgets it when he forgets it.

However, Oreki Xian did feel a lot of different looks today.

Even in the cafeteria, Lian Kawashima Shanjian leaned over to ask him.

“Oreki-san, I heard that you and Sakuraba-san are together. Is that true? You already have Asagiri-san. Isn’t that too much? I admit that you are handsome, but... just because you are handsome, does that mean you can do whatever you want?”

Handsome can really do whatever he wants.

But Oreki Gen still shook his head in denial.

"Don't think too much, it's not true. I'm not with Sakuraba-san or Asagiri-san."

"Is that so? That proves that we still have a chance... Ah, I was talking about us single male classmates, not myself."

Kawashima Shanjian said with a blushing face.

Oreki Gen smiled slightly and said nothing.

He really wanted to tell the other party that even if he and those two girls were enemies, at least the boys in this school should not have any chance.

A very simple thing is that as long as they see their own existence, no matter what the relationship with them is, they will subconsciously use themselves as the standard.

And how could a girl like that possibly compromise for the lowest standard?

However, there is no need to speak this truth out loud to avoid being hated.

Until school was over in the afternoon, this rumor still existed, and people were still speculating whether he and Sakuraba Mizuki were boyfriend and girlfriend, or whether he had a closer relationship with Asagiri Ran.

Or maybe he is simply playing both sides.

Two?

Only two? You think too little of yourself.

Buddy One Piece!

After school, Oreki Gen did not go home immediately, but went to the activity room, ready to deal with the nosy senior before starting his part-time job.

"Bang."

Pushed open the familiar door of classroom 103.

What caught my eye was still the familiar figure, Sayuri Yukino, wearing a school uniform, with long hair draped over her shoulders, looking gentle and indifferent in the sunlight.

But he didn't see the girl who should be sitting in another seat, reading a book with a cold face.

"Why is it that only the senior sister is here and she hasn't come yet? She is really slacking off. The senior sister should take better care of her."

Sayuri Yukino looked at the boy who walked in with a heavy face.

"Oreki-kun, don't you know yet?"

"...What?"

"Asagiri-san...didn't I tell you?"

After hearing these words, Oreki Xian felt a little strange. What was going on with this inexplicably heavy atmosphere?

He looked at the other person hesitantly.

"Something happened to her?"

Sayuri Yukino sighed deeply.

"You don't know yet... Well, if I were Ran-chan, I wouldn't tell you such a thing, alas."

Oreki Gen was stunned.

"What's up with her?"

"She...sigh."

"Senior, if you have something to say, just say it. What are you talking about?"

The girl's inexplicably serious attitude and the way she seemed to be hesitant to speak made Oreki Gen feel something was wrong.

He knew that Asagiri Ran had always been in poor health, otherwise she wouldn't have taken so many absences from school to recuperate. Could it be that she had some unspeakable secret... or even a terminal illness?

Don’t be so melodramatic, right?

It’s fine if I have to deal with those girls by myself, but I also have to save myself from a terminal illness, right?

At this time, Sayuri Yukino sighed, then handed a sealed paper bag to Oreki Gen and said.

"Go give this to Ran-chan before it's too late. Even though she won't let me tell you, I still hope you can meet her at this time."

Although Oreki Gen felt that things would not be so outrageous.

But my heartbeat was inexplicably irregular.

He took the light paper bag.

"what is this?"
