Chapter 209: Xiao Guan Cha Masterpiece
On the long wooden corridor outside the room, Kazumi walked silently beside Shinichi Sato. Being as smart as she was, she naturally knew that the high-ranking hero of the Association, [Blade Warrior], must have come to see Grandpa Sato for an important matter. Therefore, she had finished her meal early and waited where she was, for the dog to bring him out.
“Kazumi, I’m sorry about this morning…”
After walking a short distance, the boy looked at the scene in the garden beside him, then turned to look at the girl beside him, who was as quiet as the night, and spoke with a complicated expression.
“Didn’t I apologize this afternoon?”
The girl raised her head, her jet-black eyes seemed to be able to swallow people whole, and she looked at Shinichi Sato in front of her, asking calmly.
“Because, the teacher told me I needed to apologize to you… but I think I should also tell you when we’re together now.”
Shinichi Sato held the back of his head, looking at Kazumi in front of him a little embarrassed. For this girl who unconditionally trusted and cared about him, he now felt so guilty that he didn’t know how to make amends.
“It’s okay, I don’t mind these things. I’m glad you’re okay.”
Kazumi waved her hand, not really bothered by the dog’s sentimental behavior. Why was such a grown man being so sentimental?
“Kazumi… you, you’re not angry?”
Looking at his girlfriend with some emotion, Shinichi Sato asked a little blankly.
“Angry, why wouldn’t I be angry? What was the point of me telling you all that? Do you know how dangerous you were?”
Raising his eyebrows playfully, Kazumi turned to look around. Grandpa Sato and Shun Muto were discussing important matters in the room and couldn’t come out. The maids in the house were also sensible enough not to wander around outside. The road to the opposite side was still long, and the atmosphere was just right.
So…

“Kazumi, I…”
Shinichi Sato, like before, had no idea how to answer. The girl’s concern for him was evident, but he had resolutely ignored her advice.
“This time it was because Uncle Shun happened to be here. What if there were no other heroes next time? What if you encountered danger…”
The petite short-haired girl stopped in her tracks, looked at the boy beside her, her lips slightly pursed, as if she had thought of something bad, she lowered her head in frustration.
“This was a special situation. Generally speaking…”
“Nonsense!”
An unexpected outburst of emotion interrupted the boy’s words. Shinichi Sato did not expect that this girl, who was usually cold and distant, would suddenly shout like this.
“You’re just a civilian. No matter how much you train, you can’t fight like a hero now!! Even if it’s to protect others, consider yourself first, okay? Or, consider me occasionally!”
The girl raised her head, her resolute eyes holding faint tears. Her slightly accusatory tone, under the soft crying, was more like endearing coquetry, making one feel an unbearable heartache.
“I’m sorry…”
Unable to control his emotions any longer, Shinichi Sato reached out and pulled the girl into his arms. The girl was always cold and not good with words, but in front of him, she seemed to have shed her disguise. He received all of her gentle, low words filled with deep concern into his heart, and only wanted to repay this girl who had given everything for him.
“I will pay attention to this in the future, Kazumi. I’m really sorry for getting you involved in such danger. This won’t happen again in the future!”
The girl’s small body, leaning in his arms, trembled slightly, as if shy by this contact. The faint scent of chestnut in her hair, along with that faint special scent, made the boy’s already hot heart beat faster. He took a deep breath.
“And also… for another woman…”
The girl snorted a few times in his arms, slightly annoyed. She shifted her position in the boy’s embrace. Her childish complaint, tinged with a faint sob, sounded in Shinichi Sato’s ears. The slight resentment mixed with a bit of coquettishness made the boy, who was about to say more, even stop breathing for a moment.
“No!! It’s really nothing between me and Kiyomizu-san!! She just came to school to investigate some matters related to the [Dark] Organization. As for contacting her, it’s because of Old man. It seems there’s also some seal problem in the spirit world, so…”
“Anyway, it’s definitely not because of Kiyomizu-san that I went back. It would be the same no matter who it was. Kazumi, you have to believe me…”
Like a wolf whose tail had been stepped on, the boy quickly pulled the girl in front of him and said earnestly, afraid that the girl would misunderstand him on this matter.
[Intel! So Kiyomizu Mai came to school to investigate the previous matter. Is it actually related to the Organization? Does the Organization also have a connection to the spirit world? Then, does my capability belong to the spirit world or the real world?]
A flash of light appeared in her originally moist eyes, but she quickly lowered her head again. Kazumi, having obtained the intel she wanted, was thinking about the information she had just extracted, and while pretending to be sad, she finally spoke with a resentful tone.
“You didn’t listen to me in the end…”
The girl unreasonably complained to Shinichi Sato in front of her. As a girl, she naturally had the right to be unreasonable. Her pouting, red-eyed, tsundere appearance was very cute in the boy’s eyes.
Even if the boy’s emotional intelligence was low, he knew that his girlfriend clearly wanted him to coax her now. He quickly went to Kazumi and tried his best to coax the clearly angry girl with his dry words.
The half-awkward, half-cheesy love lines gave the girl a different feeling. Although she was mentally quite disgusted, her body was quite receptive. A few red clouds slowly appeared on her fair cheeks. But even though Kazumi felt a bit dizzy due to her physical condition, she still remembered her previous doubts.
[Why could Shinichi Sato perform that kind of operation? Or rather, how could he survive under the opponent’s hands? Is he a psychic?]
Although the boy had answered her questions in the car before, it was possible that Grandpa Sato was present, so he dared not tell her the truth.
Kazumi’s own analysis did not have much doubt about the dog’s identity, as she couldn’t find any motive for doing so. However, she still had some doubts about his abilities and how he managed to survive such an attack.
Therefore, taking advantage of the current opportunity to be alone, she would use his guilt to ask these questions, and then, after exhausting his last bit of usefulness, she would ruthlessly abandon this detestable guy.
A misty haze appeared in her jet-black eyes, reflecting a faint light under the moonlight. Her slightly red eye sockets seemed to add a faint base color to the corners of her eyes, adding a touch of softness to her stern face.
Her fair little nose twitched adorably. The girl leaned forward gently towards the boy who was still trying to say something, and her cold, smooth little hand grasped his constantly moving big hand. Words with a hint of allure, mixed with a touch of coldness and coquettishness, came from the girl’s mouth.
“Then can Shinichi tell me, why are you so powerful?”
(ps: My mental state is broken. Anyway, something happened because of pressure from there to force me to write the old story. My state exploded. The next day, I used up the opportunity to be absent from updating. I don’t even know how to continue writing. If I do this more, I will really abandon the manuscript, damn it. I think the quality of this chapter is also very bad. That’s it. I’m going to sleep after writing.)
