Chapter 50 Playground
On the school playground, the blond young man in a school uniform walked side-by-side with the black-haired young girl next to him. However, the young man’s restless eyes showed the anxiety in his owner’s heart.
“Kazumi, is it really okay for us to be walking around the school like this?”
Walking beside the aimless Kazumi, Sato Shinichi actually felt more uneasy. After all, a good student like him had never done anything rebellious like skipping class before. Before, his mind was only on Kazumi, so he couldn’t care about anything else.
But now, just walking around the playground made him feel a little flustered.
“Call me Kazumi. Also, Shinichi-kun, don’t you often ask for leave? Why are you so scared of skipping class?”
Tilting her head and glancing at her boyfriend, who inexplicably lost his manly demeanor at some point, Kazumi couldn’t help but feel a sense of complaint in her heart. For such a rare specimen as Sato Shinichi to be afraid of skipping class?
The image of a good student and a passionate rare specimen together felt a little incongruous!
“No, I… I had a valid reason…”
Upon hearing Kazumi’s words, Sato Shinichi instinctively raised his voice, but then, as if realizing that some things shouldn’t be said, his voice slowly lowered.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s probably because you were doing heroic training with your grandfather again.”
Kazumi waved her hand. She didn’t want to ask too much about what Sato Shinichi found inconvenient to say. After all, what her rare specimen boyfriend was thinking was probably all written on his face.
“Mhm…”
He glanced at the girl beside him, only to find her gaze leisurely wandering, as if she were lost in thought, paying no attention to him at all.
Although he didn’t want to deceive the girl at all in his heart, this was a restriction imposed by the teacher to protect him. He lowered his head with some guilt and replied.
“It’s fine, Teacher Ishiryu allowed you to come here. I’m also skipping class for a special reason, so we won’t be disciplined.”
Looking at the lush small trees beside the playground, Kazumi turned to comfort Sato Shinichi. In his eyes, this guy who had never skipped class was probably feeling down because he was afraid of being disciplined.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what about you, Kazumi? Is the interrogation really okay?”
Looking at his girlfriend, who was comforting him at this moment, with some emotion, Sato Shinichi still asked with some worry.
“Mhm… The police officer didn’t do anything too excessive to me, but I’m still a little worried. Uncle Fukada’s matter… will it affect my studies?”
As soon as Fukada Akihiko was mentioned, the girl seemed to become dispirited, lowering her head, her voice getting softer and softer.
The main reason she sought out Sato Shinichi to go for a walk was to obtain further information from him, as she was completely unaware of the attitudes of the Heroes Association and the police.
And given the attitudes of these two major law enforcement agencies towards her, she had to consider whether she should run away and try to seek refuge with Fukada Akihiko.
Frankly speaking, whether it was for survival or for further development of her golden finger, directly seeking refuge with the [Dark] Organization, to which Fukada Akihiko belonged, was the best option. After all, resources like corpses were more easily obtained within evil organizations.
However, Kazumi’s body, and her soul from another world, were strongly resistant to this optimal choice. For anyone, a beautiful campus life was better than a dark and evil organization.
“No, no, no! Kazumi, haven’t you already investigated and found no problems? The Heroes Association will absolutely not deprive you of your opportunity to study and work because of such a matter!!”
“If you’re still worried, I’ll ask Grandpa again today. If it’s basically confirmed that there are no problems, it won’t have any impact on you.”
Seeing his girlfriend looking dispirited again, Sato Shinichi dared not delay and quickly comforted her, even patting his chest and promising.
“No, it won’t trouble Grandpa Sato, will it? After all, he’s a retired hero.”
Kazumi looked up, her cold eyes still carrying faint tear stains. Her small lips were pursed, and she looked at the blond young man in front of her.
“No, no, that old man is very easy to talk to. And Kazumi, your matters are my matters. Just leave it to me!”
The girl’s pitiful appearance made Sato Shinichi’s heart melt. He ignored Hamano Tsukasa’s previous warning to punch him if he pleaded for mercy, and in front of the girl…
“Mhm, Shinichi-kun, you’re so nice.”
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but Kazumi still put on a shy expression, reached out her small hand to hold the boy’s sleeve, and said softly in Sato Shinichi’s ear.
【~~~~~】
This gentle voice, which differed from her usual cold tone, struck Sato Shinichi’s heart directly, as if a small cat was scratching his heart. He felt his heart pounding uncontrollably.
His left hand was so stiff that it couldn’t move. He let the girl hold his sleeve, half of his body completely frozen, not daring to make any further moves.
【Is this what a virgin looks like? It’s truly laughable?】
Looking at Sato Shinichi, who had completely changed because of her casual words, Kazumi’s heart flashed with a hint of mockery, completely forgetting that she herself was also a 24k pure gold virgin in her previous life. She continued to walk on the playground, holding Sato Shinichi’s sleeve.
Couples are always eye-catching no matter where they are. Although the girl’s appearance might not be considered a national disaster, Sato Shinichi’s zombie-like walking style and the ordinary class school uniforms they wore made the surrounding students steal glances at them.
After all, it was during class time for the hero students, and the physical education class for ordinary students was usually deliberately scheduled to avoid contact between the students of the two departments.
Because, even if they were successfully admitted to the same school through excellent grades, the sense of class brought about by their abilities could not be wiped out by grades alone.
Subconsciously, Kazumi pulled Sato Shinichi to avoid the dispersing crowd of hero students. She wondered if she should go back, as their wandering around during the other students’ free activities was indeed quite eye-catching.
Holding Sato Shinichi’s sleeve, she tried to drag this soul-departed guy back towards the teaching building, but in the next moment, a girl passing by her seemed to bump her shoulder hard against Kazumi’s chest, as if by accident.
