Hikigaya Hachiman was in a state of confusion and self-doubt at the door.
"What are you doing standing there at the door?"
A cold and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in the corridor, and Hikigaya Hachiman was frightened and trembled all over: "...What? It turns out to be Minister Yukinoshita. Why are you walking without making any sound?"
"Were you just in a daze and didn't hear it, or has Hikigaya's auditory system begun to degenerate?" Yukinoshita Yukino spoke sharply in a flat tone.
"Let's not talk about the fact that fungi don't have hearing systems. There was a strange guy in the club room. He wasn't even wearing a school uniform. I thought I had taken the wrong road."
Hikigaya Hachiman complained with a resentful look in his eyes.
A sly smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face, and she said in a light tone: "Ah, so you didn't recognize him. I thought you must have a deep impression of him."
"You must be kidding. How could I be impressed by a guy who looks like a big shot?" Hikigaya denied it outright. "Even if I were to be impressed by a man, it would be someone like Totsuka..."
As they were talking, Yukinoshita Yukino had already opened the classroom door and walked in. Her natural look and brisk steps with a hint of joy in them made a flash of lightning suddenly flash through Hikigaya Hachiman's mind, followed by a bolt from the blue.
Could this person be...
A drop of cold sweat slowly ran down my cheek.
He saw the handsome black-haired young man turn his head to look at him, and then slightly raised the corners of his mouth. At the same time, under the deep red pupils, a pair of eyes opened again.
"Hey, long time no see. No, it should be the first time we meet, you dead-eyed boy." Lin Qi said with a smile.
Ahhhhh! !! !!
It’s really Uncle Lin Qi!
Hikigaya Hachiman was tumbling and wailing in his heart. He had just complained to Yukinoshita Yukino outside, and there was no doubt that everything he had said outside had been heard clearly by Uncle Lin Qi.
Lin Qi was clearly greeting him normally, but to Hikigaya Hachiman's ears, that voice with a hint of frivolity and joking sounded like a judge in a court, announcing his death sentence, which would be executed immediately.
At this point, there is only one thing to do.
"I'm so sorry, Master Lin Qi! Please forgive little Hachiman's disrespect!"
Hikigaya Hachiman knelt down and prostrated himself at Lin Qi's feet.
……
...Chapter 109: What is our relationship?
"So, you want to ask Lin Qijun and I to go with you to investigate Komachi's school?"
Yukinoshita Yukino briefly summarized Hikigaya Hachiman's personal commission.
The latter sat in the client's seat, while Lin Qi moved to the window seat next to Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Well, that's it."
Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm worried that my strength is not enough and something unexpected will happen."
"I have no problem on my side, but as for Lin Qijun, it depends on his own wishes." Yukinoshita Yukino said, turning her head to look at Lin Qi.
"Me? Sure, I'm free anyway." Lin Qi shrugged and agreed without thinking.
Besides, even if he wasn't as free as he is now, he would still agree to it. After all, Hikigaya is such a considerate guy, it would be a bit unreasonable not to take care of him.
Lin Qi hadn't seen such a natural and smooth way of getting off the throne for a long time.
After successfully clinging to Lin Qi's thighs, Hikigaya Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief. The huge rock that had been hanging on his heart finally fell.
"Come to think of it, Minister, what did you do during your days off? Did you go to exorcise the cursed spirits again?"
After agreeing to help investigate Komachi School, Hikigaya Hachiman relaxed and found a topic to start a conversation.
"Well, it's a special-grade cursed spirit called Mahito." Yukinoshita Yukino said.
"What? Special grade!?"
His dead fish eyes suddenly widened. Is Yukinoshita Yukino's current strength enough to participate in special-level battles?
Before he could recover from his shock, the black-haired girl dropped another bombshell: "It's the guy who transformed Ooka."
Hikigaya Hachiman paused for a moment, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment. His mouth opened and closed like a fish stranded on the beach.
After a long silence, he let out a heavy breath and said with a wry smile: "This can be considered as revenge for Ooka."
"Yeah." The girl nodded gently.
The atmosphere in the service department suddenly became solemn until a burst of hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the door.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"
Before the classroom door opened, a full-of-energy voice sounded outside the door.
"Ya hello~!"
Yuigahama Yui opened the classroom door and just greeted everyone as usual, when she saw a strange figure sitting next to Yukinoshita Yukino and she was stunned.
"Huh? A new client? Wait, he's not wearing school uniform, is he a student from another school?" Yuigahama Yui looked confused, her eyes moving back and forth between Yukinoshita Yukino and the strange black-haired young man.
"Xiaoxue, is this person someone you know?" She sat down at her seat and asked in a low voice.
Although the girl with the bun hair lowered her voice intentionally, it obviously did not escape Lin Qi's ears.
He laughed with interest, and before Yukinoshita Yukino could answer, he asked, "Hey, Yuki, what do you think is our relationship?"
Yukinoshita Yukino felt a little numb.
At this moment, she seemed to see the figure of her sister Yang Nai from Lin Qi's face.
This guy must have gone to my sister to drink a lot! ?
The girl immediately cast a reproachful look at him, but when her eyes met those smiling red eyes, she felt a little flustered for some reason.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked away and spoke hesitantly: "Yes, yes..."
She ranked first in her grade in Chinese, but for a moment she couldn't find the words to describe the relationship between herself and Lin Qijun.
Friends? Master and apprentice? Or simply a relationship of parasite and parasite?
In Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes, these cannot fully and accurately describe the relationship between the two of them.
From the fear and disgust in the beginning, to gradually getting used to the fact that there was someone chattering in his head; from being so scared that his legs became weak when facing the curse spirit, to now being able to stand on his own and fight the curse spirit calmly, all this journey was inseparable from Lin Qi's push and encouragement behind the scenes.
What's more, this guy watched his precious life memories in their entirety as if they were a VR movie, which was really too much.
In a sense, Lin Qijun knows her better than she knows herself.
Can such an existence, such a relationship, really be summarized in just one word?
The more I think and analyze, the more confused I become, and the more profound it becomes.
It's like getting lost in a field of flowers.
The bun-haired girl looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was distracted before she finished speaking, and gradually narrowed her eyes.
Look at the black-haired girl, then look at the handsome black-haired boy.
Well, they match perfectly!
"Could it be his boyfriend!?" Yuigahama Yui felt that she had found the answer, and suddenly shouted loudly, staring at Yukinoshita Yukino with shining eyes, whose cheeks were slightly red.
Hikigaya Hachiman's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he felt that things were heading in a strange direction and there was no turning back.
Lin Qi couldn't help laughing out loud.
"what?"
Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly came to her senses and blushed as she retorted, "Of course not! Why would Yuigahama-san come to this conclusion?"
"Huh? Isn't it true?" Yuigahama Yui seemed very surprised. She thought Xiaoxue must be dating this handsome older brother.
"Alright, alright." Lin Qi said with a smile, stopping the farce in time, "I'm Yukinoshita's friend, my name is Lin Qi, please give me your guidance."
"Oh, I'm Yuigahama Yui, and also Xiaoxue's friend!" Yuigahama Yui realized that she had made a fool of herself and her cheeks turned a little red.
Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting nearby, breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she did not cause any strange misunderstanding to Yuigahama-san.
It’s all Lin Qijun’s fault. She had to say such words that could be easily misunderstood!
She glared at Lin Qi fiercely, and the latter smiled back.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. You guys enjoy yourself." Without any intention of continuing the conversation with the three of them, Lin Qi said hello and left the service department.
After he left, Yuigahama Yui immediately pestered Yukinoshita Yukino and started asking about Lin Qi. The latter could only put her off by lying, "We know each other because of family relationships," which made it difficult to ask further questions.
After finally dispelling the bun-haired girl's curiosity, the service club finally felt at ease.
When the club activity was about to end, Hikigaya Hachiman's phone suddenly rang.
"Komachi?"
After glancing at the caller, he answered the call: "Hello? Komachi, what's going on?"
"Ah, Onii-chan, Komachi won't be coming back for dinner tonight, so just deal with it on your own!" Komachi's lively voice came from the phone.
"Eh? Why?"
"Ah, it's about the school ghost story I told my brother about before. My friend invited me, Komachi, to look for the sound of the piano that no one was playing after school."
"what?"
"That's it, I'll hang up now."
beep.
Hikigaya Hachiman came to his senses suddenly when the busy tone of the phone was rang, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
……
...Chapter 110: Now That We're Here
After the call was hung up, Hikigaya Hachiman held the phone in a daze.
Until Yuigahama Yui cast a curious look at him: "A call from Komachi? What happened?"
"Ah... It's nothing. I just wanted to go to the supermarket to buy discounted ingredients." The dead-eyed boy came back to his senses, glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, and said apologetically, "I have to go first, otherwise the food will be sold out."
"Okay." Yukinoshita Yukino answered concisely.
"Oh, what a surprise. I didn't expect Xiaoqi to have such a side. I thought you were just a simple dark boy." Yuigahama Yui exclaimed in a full of energy voice.
"You must be joking. I aspire to be a househusband."
Hikigaya Hachiman pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing an ugly smile, then said goodbye to the two of them, picked up his schoolbag and left the Service Club.
Not long after he walked out of the Service Club, the cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated again. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Yukinoshita Yukino with Lin Qi's contact information.
A hint of joy flashed in Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes, and then he adjusted his mood and dialed Lin Qi's phone number.
The call was quickly connected, and Lin Qi's voice came from the phone: "Come to the rooftop of the special building."
……
……
Dusk is also the time when demons appear.
The setting sun has completely sunk into the city, leaving only the remaining orange-red afterglow to dye the western sky red. The deep blue night continues to spread across the sky until it swallows up the last ray of afterglow.
The remaining light of the setting sun that shone into the teaching building also dissipated, and the corridor suddenly became dim, and people could only see things with the faint moonlight.
A clear sound of footsteps echoed in the empty and silent corridor.
"Wow, now it seems like school at night is a little scary."
A black-haired girl with short bob hair, wearing a traditional sailor suit and pleated skirt rubbed her arms, her slender and round calves wrapped in black socks.
"It was Saki-chan who suggested going on an adventure, but you were the one who was scared first." Another girl with brown curly hair covered her mouth and smiled mockingly.
"Isn't Eri afraid at all?" Saki asked back.
"Of course, there's nothing to be afraid of." Eri raised her head proudly, "It's just that the light is a little dim. You feel scared only because you are scaring yourself."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Komachi who was following the two of them: "Right, Komachi?"
"Hmm?" Komachi, who was looking at the night view of the city in the distance outside the window, turned around and said, "Well, it's okay. It feels fresh."
She bared her cute little canine teeth and smiled: "Besides, it's so late and I haven't heard any piano music yet. You must be lying!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a melodious piano sound rang out from somewhere in the school, faintly reaching the ears of the three people.
The playful expressions on the faces of the three junior high school girls suddenly froze.
Eri, who had just said that she was not afraid at all, subconsciously hugged the arm of Saki, who was closest to her.
