"What's the matter? If you don't tell me, I'm hanging up."

"Woo! Okay, okay! Yukino-chan, don't be surprised if I tell you this, but when you started school, the boy the driver almost hit was called something like Bai-something."

"It's Shirakawa-shiki!" Yukinoshita Yukino corrected subconsciously, but her face immediately froze.

This news did surprise her a little. She didn't expect that they had already met each other when she just started her second grade.

"Hehe, Yukino-chan answered so quickly, could it be that...?"

"Wow, my little Xueno is going to fall in love. I might be alone from now on..."

"Sister, your acting is too exaggerated. I'm hanging up." Yukinoshita Yukino said coldly and hung up the call.

She hated the way her sister spoke, which made her feel very hypocritical.

Wrong is wrong, right is right, this has always been Yukinoshita Yukino's character.

I should talk to Shirakawa Shiki about this matter in the next couple of days. I at least owe him a formal apology...

Standing at the edge of the trimmed floor-to-ceiling window, after enjoying the breeze for a while, he walked back to the sofa and picked up a book, ready to watch TV and then read some literary books.

......

The next morning.

The breeze as autumn approaches is blowing the branches and leaves of the green belt of this luxurious apartment building. The morning glow is shining with dazzling golden light, and the dewdrops on the petals of flowers and plants make the scene like a beautiful painting.

Shirakawa Shikawa opened the door of his house without any sweat on his face. He had just returned from his daily morning run and he was used to this way of life.

I threw the dusty clothes into the washing machine and then took a shower in the bathroom.

After a while, Shoko Makinohara rubbed her big eyes and walked out of the room.

"Onii-chan, good morning." Her face brightened up a little, and she jogged a few steps while stretching out her two white arms like lotus roots.

"Good morning, Shoko." Seeing her cute look asking for a hug, Shirakawa Shikagawa fulfilled her wish.

Her body is fragrant, soft and petite, after all, she is only in the first grade of junior high school.

"Shoko, it's time to brush your teeth and wash up." Shirakawa said with a smile in his eyes: "I've bought breakfast too."

There is no such thing as a breakfast shop in Neon. Generally, every family in Neon has a cook who gets up early to make breakfast for the whole family.

So if Shirakawa has time, he will make breakfast. Otherwise, he can only go to the convenience store to buy bagged bread, then pour two glasses of milk, and that's it for breakfast.

As for lunch, the college cafeteria where he and Shoko attended had a pretty rich lunch.

In his arms, Makinohara Shoko took a few breaths of contentment, then smiled happily and said, "I see. I've replenished my energy for today."

"Shoko, do you think I'm a power bank?" Shirakawa Shiki was a little amused and could only rub her little head, making her smooth hair even more messy.

Makinohara Shoko pouted slightly, lifted the sleeves of her shirt to reveal her snow-white wrists, and snorted: "Shoko doesn't think of Onii-chan as a power bank, Onii-chan thinks so herself."

"It's none of Shouko's business."

Shirakawa glanced at the time and saw her getting ready to brush her teeth. He said in agreement, "Yes, yes, Shoko, you have to hurry up, or you might be late for class today. It's almost eight o'clock."

"Ugh, Shouko will speed up," an inarticulate whimper was heard, and Shirakawa Shiki shook his head and chuckled.

.......

Thanks to the two big guys, Yuanchu Taiyang and ∝″Baby’s Happiness, for voting for the monthly tickets...

Chapter 24: Shirakawa-san is very popular

After separating from Makinohara Shoko, Shirakawa Shiki quickly got off the train and headed towards the school as usual.

He has been in much better spirits these days. When he walked into the classroom, he was still surrounded by a variety of noisy conversations, with small groups gathered around chatting and laughing.

They were talking about interesting things they had heard recently, most of which were just adolescent nonsense, but one boy said something that made Shirakawa Shiki a little concerned.

"Have you heard that someone said they saw a man-eating monster in a dark corner of a Tokyo street?"

"Haha, I've heard too many urban legends like this. A man-eating monster? That's already outdated!!"

"Yeah, yeah, what you heard was too cliché, Yamashita-kun. It's not interesting at all."

"Even if you want to talk about urban legends, Yamashita-kun, you can't use a cliché to fool us."

"Hehehe, that's right."

"I'm tired of hearing this. It's better to talk about the one that appeared in Silver Lake before..."

The boy called Yamashita-kun wasn't angry. Instead, he looked mysterious and said in a low voice, "Don't disbelieve me, I heard this from my good friend. I also asked my uncle. Although he looked impatient and refused to tell me, I could tell from his expression that it was true!"

At this point, Yamashita added, "My uncle is a police inspector in Tokyo."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him, although they thought it was a story in their hearts, suddenly laughed and responded in a cooperative manner, saying "Isn't it?" "Maybe it is true!"

Shirakawa Shiki glanced at these people, a thoughtful look on his face.

A man-eating monster?

After all, other people would treat it as an urban legend, but he wouldn't.

He knew that there really were supernatural powers in this neon urban city he traveled through, and the fact that he occasionally cleared out monsters that passed through the space passage at night was proof of that.

This everyday anime world actually has extraordinary powers...

However, the intensity is not particularly high.

The top supernatural power in the neon area is a bit mediocre to be honest.

Baichuan's existence is rated at the highest level in some high-level strength files, and ordinary people cannot know his information.

With this thought, Shirakawa Shiki turned back and walked directly to the table of that group of people under the surprised gazes of his classmates with dead fish eyes and the gaming geek classmate.

He got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Yamashita, could you describe the man-eating monster you just mentioned in more detail?"

The discussion among the five of them suddenly fell silent.

One of the girls obviously didn't expect that Shirakawa Shiki was interested in their conversation, but when she realized it, she was immediately surprised because this was a chance to talk to the handsome guy in the class.

Usually, Shirakawa-shi is too aloof, so they can't find any opportunities...

So, the next moment, the girl immediately said, "Shirakawa-kun, I didn't expect you to be interested in urban legends. I like them too. What a coincidence."

Another girl also said, "Yamashita-kun, since Shirakawa-kun wants to know, why don't you tell him everything you know?"

The boy at the foot of the mountain was stunned for a moment, and saw one of the long-haired girls staring straight at Shirakawa-shi with shining eyes.

He couldn't help but feel a little upset, because this was the girl he had always liked and had pursued for a long time, but this girl always made excuses, saying that she didn't want to have a relationship in high school.

But now, she was blushing and staring at Shirakawa-shi without blinking.

I'm afraid that once Shirakawa Shiki opens his mouth, he will agree without hesitation. Thinking of this, Yamashita-kun feels complicated and bitter.

05,7 (Notes

(Join the group) What about not wanting to have a relationship in high school, studying is the most important thing!! It’s all fake!!

However, the way Meijian's face blushes now is really beautiful...

So, even though he was a little unhappy, for the sake of Mimi, he still spoke with difficulty: "Shirakawa-san, to be honest, I don't know much."

"From what I've heard, this is a strange thing that happened in the western part of Tokyo. I heard it happened on the north side of the street, a few hundred meters away from the western girls' school."

At this point, Yamashita-kun's face became a little excited: "And, it's not far from the maid cafe."

Shirakawa Shiki was speechless for a moment. Before he could urge her, the two girls beside him said disapprovingly, "Hey! Stop talking about that. Get to the point!"

"That's right, Shirakawa-kun wouldn't want to know about this place."

This is too much of a double standard! Is this how handsome guys are treated differently from ordinary people?

Hearing this, Yamashita-kun's face darkened again, and he said in a low voice: "Sorry... I understand."

"I heard that one night, an office worker was walking home late from get off work. As he was walking around a deserted corner, he was slashed in the neck by a terrifying monster."

"If this is what happens after death, it has nothing to do with urban legends."

"But it seems the body was dragged into a dead end. When the inspectors responded to the call and found the man, the office worker had been eaten to the point of being left with only bones."

"The monsters hiding in the dark shadows will devour everyone in a short time!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two girls screamed in surprise.

"Wow!! That's scary!"

"Wow, Shirakawa-kun, I'm a very timid person."

Shirakawa Shiki glanced at the two female classmates who were very talented in acting and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Even though you are afraid, you are getting closer and closer. What does that mean?

"Is that all?" Shirakawa Shiki could not deny what Yamashita said.

What do you mean by an empty corner? If there really was no one around, how did they know it was the neck that was slashed?

You know, the body is just bones, would an autopsy be useful? Maybe no autopsy was even conducted.

As for why I say that...

To be honest, there are very few forensic pathologists in Japan. They can be called rare. There are only about three fingers to the count, no more than three hundred.

And how many people die accidentally in Japan every year? So there are not enough forensic doctors. They don't have time to deal with such matters because it's just one death.

"That's all, Shirakawa-san!" Yamashita-kun looked at classmate Meijian, who was standing next to Shirakawa-san with a slightly red face, with an ugly and sad expression on his face as if he had been bullied in front of her.

What's that guy's expression?

Shirakawa looked at Yamashita in bewilderment, who kept winking at him, somewhat confused as to what was going on.

What does this look of yours that says, "When will I leave? Can you please leave quickly?" mean?

Even though Shirakawa Shiki always knew that she was not popular among boys.

But I didn't do anything bad to the boys in my class...

And then the next second.

He noticed the physical contact beside him, and when he looked at the two female classmates on both sides with flushed faces and watery eyes, he reacted instantly.

Shirakawa Shiki's expression immediately became a little subtle.

There was something really wrong with these two girls. They looked like they had been assaulted. When the uninformed bystanders saw them, they thought he had done something to them...

Is it that exaggerated...it makes him look like a human-shaped walking drug.

"I'll go back first. Thank you, Yamashita." Shirakawa Shiki felt embarrassed when he saw that Yamashita's face was becoming more and more bitter, and then he left quickly.

It's really a sin. People are so cooperative in telling you this, and you bully them in front of them...

Hikigaya and Nishimura Hideki had actually been eavesdropping.

Seeing Shirakawa Shiki coming back and showing interest in urban legends, he asked with a curious look on his face, "You're also interested in such boring stuff?"

"Just checking in. Didn't you hear it?" Shirakawa Shiki put down his backpack and said casually.

"Tsk tsk, these are all just figments of people's imagination." Hikigaya Hachiman tutted his tongue a few times, a look of ridicule on his face. "But you didn't see that after you walked over, that guy's expression changed like a chameleon. It was quite interesting!"

"Yeah, Shirakawa, you have a pretty impressive face!" Nishimura Hideki said from the side, his face full of jealousy.

"You saw this too? You have good observation skills."

"Of course, I am someone who understands the atmosphere very well, no matter where it is." Hikigaya Hachiman said with great pride and a smug look on his face.

"I'm a master of the game, how can I not have good observation skills!!" Hideki Nishimura also patted his chest and said proudly.

"Yes, yes, that's the insight developed from being alone." Shirakawa-shi glanced at the two shameless guys.

[Ding, special mission begins. The maid cafe at the girls' school in Nishi-ku, Tokyo, hides an S-rank Devilman who accidentally passed through a space channel and appeared in reality. Difficulty: Two Stars]

Suddenly, the system's ethereal and cold voice sounded. Shirakawa Shiki took a look at this special mission information and prepared to set off immediately.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. It may be a little late and a few more innocent people will die.

Fortunately, it is also in the Tokyo metropolitan area, not the Tokyo area.

Otherwise, the round trip time might take up to an hour, and you won’t be able to get back home in the evening.
