The Heaven's Chain of Juwang Academy

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Okay~"

"Let's end today's club activities here and continue tomorrow."

As he spoke, Qin Xiao also stood up, picked up his schoolbag and sword bag, and prepared to go out.

"Teacher Jing, please close the door."

"Okay, don't worry about this little thing, just go and get it back Yukinoshita."

"Don't worry, there's no problem."

The absolutely confident smile made Shizuka Hiratsuka and the other two silent. This man was truly terrifying.

And Qin Xiao, after saying this, walked out.

Then, it didn't take much time for Qin Xiao to catch up with Yukinoshita Yukino who was walking towards the main gate of the Sokaku University.

She was in a bad mood now. They had grown up together, so why did Qin Xiao seem so strange now?

Since that night a few days ago, my world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it seems that everything I have known until now was wrong.

Whether it was his own "materialism" or his understanding of Qin Xiao and his sister, they were all wrong.

Yukinoshita Yukino really didn't hate this feeling, but she didn't know what to do.

Chapter 44: Arrogant because of one's talent? No, it's fearless!

Walking on the street, there are people coming and going all around.

But at this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino felt so lonely, as if she was a child kept in the dark. Everyone treated her as a child, and she was the one who was ignored in everything.

From childhood to adulthood, my mother's attitude and principles towards me and my sister have been very different.

My elder sister, who accepted her mother's strict, even harsh teaching, gradually became the 'perfect' woman she is today, perfect in every aspect.

Looking back at herself, her mother never asked anything of her and was even very permissive towards her.

Over the years, no matter what achievements she made or what results she obtained, her mother's attitude was always so lukewarm, as if she was not her daughter but an outsider.

It is for this reason that Yukinoshita Yukino starts chasing after her sister Yukinoshita Haruno.

No matter what it is, as long as Yukinoshita Haruno can do it, she must do it to prove that she is just as good.

However, as time went by, she found that she could not catch up with her sister no matter what.

Putting aside other things, just in terms of interpersonal relationships and dealing with people, the gap between me and my sister is like the gap between the earth and the sky, which is simply impossible to bridge.

She has been excluded and even bullied by her classmates since elementary school.

Although she had never been bullied due to the power of the Yukinoshita family, she was unable to communicate with anyone, let alone make friends or even talk to anyone.

As for my sister, she has always been the core of everyone and the leader of a group since she was young.

Forget about bullying, it's good enough that she doesn't bully others.

In addition to the Yukinoshita family, she originally knew this "childhood sweetheart" of hers very well. However, overnight, she suddenly discovered that the person she knew was like an illusion in the mirror and water.

Everyone, everyone she knew, she didn't really 'know'.

It was this gap that created a thorn in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart.

"Where do you want to go?"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked back and saw Qin Xiao standing there with a sword bag on his shoulder.

"It's none of your business. It has nothing to do with you."

The Second Miss was still angry at the moment. She was very dissatisfied with Qin Xiao for agreeing to let that person join the Service Department without her permission, and even the tone in which he spoke to her.

"My second young lady, I'm afraid you forgot one thing."

Qin Xiao suddenly took a step forward, and his handsome face was directly close to Yukinoshita Yukino, the two people were less than twenty centimeters apart.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had never had such contact with the opposite sex, suddenly felt a little panicked and her heartbeat slightly accelerated.

"What do you want to do? We are on the street here."

Yukinoshita Yukino staggered back a step and looked at Qin Xiao with a panicked look.

Naturally, many people around noticed what was happening here, but most people didn't think too much about it.

After all, there are quite a few high school students who have boyfriends or girlfriends, and young people nowadays show their affection regardless of the occasion, so naturally it didn't cause much of a stir.

"Second Miss, I'm afraid you forgot something very important."

"What~"

"You are a person with poor sense of direction. If you run into something by yourself and walk around recklessly, you will have nowhere to run—"

"You are the one with poor sense of direction. I just don't know the way very well."

Hearing what Qin Xiao said, Yukinoshita Yukino immediately turned into a cat whose tail was stepped on and its fur stood on end, and spoke to Qin Xiao angrily.

She has a poor sense of direction, which is her biggest weakness. She is so smart, why does she have such a characteristic?

But she was powerless, after all, she really had no other choice.

Why does our second Miss Yukinoshita need a special car to pick her up from school? It’s not because her family is rich, but because she doesn’t know the way. It would be too dangerous for her to go to and from school by herself.

"Second Miss, there is one thing you must remember: mystery attracts mystery."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It literally means that ordinary people will intersect with ordinary people, and conversely, mysteries will intersect with mysteries. In other words, you who know about 'ghosts'——"

He didn't finish his words, but Yukinoshita Yukino understood what he meant.

Having been attacked by ghosts, she is more likely to encounter ghosts again.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned slightly pale. After all, she never wanted to experience such a thing a second time.

"So what? My sister has already sent the 'high-power ultraviolet lamp' over at noon."

At this time, Qin Xiao also discovered a suitcase in Yukinoshita Yukino's hand.

Wow, it’s quite big, it’s really a ‘high-power’ ultraviolet lamp.

"Second Miss, you don't really think that you can kill ghosts with this thing, do you?"

"Hmm? Didn't you say that sunlight can kill ghosts? Are you——"

"Of course there is no doubt about that, but, in the dark night, can you really shine ultraviolet light on them?"

"——————"

Silence. Yukinoshita Yukino understood that this was impossible.

With that kind of speed, that kind of strength, and that kind of reaction, I'm afraid I'll be killed before I even turn on the ultraviolet lamp.

If you want to use this to kill a ghost, you must first make the ghost lose its ability to move.

The only one who has this ability is the man in front of him.

"It seems that the Second Miss has understood, so now you must stay with me."

"you---"

Angry——Furious——Resistant——Dissatisfied——

But, beyond that, there is powerlessness.

'call--'

"Honestly, Yukino is really 'beautiful' like this, just like a snowflake under the scorching sun. If she wants to avoid melting, she must exist in sub-zero temperatures."

Qin Xiao took another step forward and made eye contact with Yukinoshita Yukino's face, and the hot air he exhaled hit her ear.

For a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned slightly red, but she was more dissatisfied.

"You are so arrogant and proud, you are really annoying."

"That's not right, Second Miss. This is not arrogance, but being fearless."

"Is this your true face?"

"Yes, but it's not enough. It's not my complete picture. Do you want to know me, Miss?"

"No, not at all. I just want to draw a line between us completely."

"It's a pity that you can't do it. Even if you want to, your sister Yang Nai won't agree."

Qin Xiao looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and said so, yes, he was so confident because he was the one who took the initiative, not the other party.

Chapter 45: Ghost hunting in progress!

Because Yukinoshita Yukino left early, it is still early now.

In addition, Yukinoshita Yukino ran out to the street alone in a huff, so it was impossible for the Yukinoshita family's car to appear here.

To sum up, the two of them had to go back on their own this afternoon.

However, as we walked, the sky around us gradually darkened.

Yukinoshita Yukino was also a little confused because the surrounding scenery was unfamiliar to her. Normally when she was riding in a car, she would also look out the window.

However, she felt very unfamiliar with the surroundings now.

"Hey, where are we going? Isn't this the way home?"

In the end, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't bear the doubts in her heart and asked Qin Xiao questions.

"Go home? No, we are going hunting."

"hunting?"

"Ah, because I 'smell' prey."

Looking at Qin Xiao in this state, Yukinoshita Yukino inexplicably had an ominous premonition.

In this artificial city of steel, the only things that Qin Xiao could call "prey" were probably those things.

When she thought of this, Yukinoshita Yukino began to back off, because if possible, she really didn't want to see these monsters again.

"Looks like we're here."

Qin Xiao stopped in front of an apartment.

Unlike the high-end apartment where he and Yukinoshita Yukino lived, this apartment was very shabby.

It is obvious that this apartment is not very good. Most of the people who live here are at the bottom of society, just like the lowest-level corporate laborers in companies.

"Hey, do you really want to go?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the dilapidated apartment with resistance written all over her face.

"Second Miss, the time is running out before the sun sets. Take advantage of the last rays of sunlight to test the things your sister sent. After all, this can save your life at a critical moment. If it doesn't work, you will be at a loss when the time comes."

"But--"

But you don't really have to look for ghosts, and if you want to come, why don't you just come by yourself? Why bring me along?

She thought so in her heart, but on the surface, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't say it out loud.

"Don't worry, it's still safe during the day. Even if there is any special situation, I still have a last resort."

"Last resort?"

"Ah, break down the wall, let the last bit of sunlight in, and the ghost will be finished."

"Break the wall~"

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled bitterly. She remembered that this guy was also a humanoid monster.

After all, humans who can fight those monsters are monsters themselves.

'clatter--'

Qin Xiao walked into the shabby apartment. Yukinoshita Yukino hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to follow him.

Because she is alone, she really feels insecure.
