Chapter 194: Worrying
The Thursday morning breeze was clear, spreading across the azure sky of early dawn. Even the clouds looked soft, making one want to reach out and hold them in their palm for a playful grasp.
The slowly rising sun shone through the window onto the corridor. The faint sunlight outside the shadows fell perfectly on the young girl, casting a blurred shadow on the ground.
The short-haired girl in uniform stood frozen in place, her face full of utter shock and surprise. Her left hand touched her cheek, her jet-black eyes fixed forward, countless emotions churning in her obsidian eyes.
[I was… kissed??!!!]
Kazumi was a little dazed, as if the whole world had softened. The air was filled with a sweet, annoying fragrance, and even her brain had become sluggish. It wasn’t until a somewhat nervous voice from the distance said, “I’ll be back soon!” that she was finally awakened from her strange state.
And then, the girl’s belated frenzy.
[What in the world is going on!!!!!!!!!]
The small figure in black, wearing a cloak, was rolling frantically in Kazumi’s mind. After rolling a full circle within the entire space, it stopped, lying on the ground and beginning to recall what had happened before.
Mai Shinomiyai’s identity as a psychic already made her prone to unnecessary trouble. Sato Shinichi, who had approached her due to his elder’s acquaintance, was also unintentionally affected. Feeling concerned, she followed and happened to witness everything.
Although there seemed to be some unspoken matters between these two, it wasn’t a problem for Kazumi. Getting her own dog to talk was no harder than eating or drinking. As long as she acted a little coquettishly, he would surely tell her everything (confident).
On the contrary, Mai Shinomiyai’s proactive admission of her identity surprised Kazumi. This could also be considered a rather good resource, which could be used as a point of leverage at a suitable time, or to set a trap and find an opportunity to deal with this disgusting long-legged woman.
Then came the combat mode of psychics, which was completely different from that of ability users. Of course, in Kazumi’s opinion, it was also very weak. Even the half-baked Sato Shinichi could defeat a good-looking guy without taking damage. Perhaps her vigilance towards psychics didn’t need to be so high?
However, this did not mean that the young girl would be careless. After all, she hadn’t had the chance to test the counter-relationship between psychics and their abilities yet. Moreover, such a system that had been passed down for many years must have a deep foundation. Kazumi did not believe that her nouveau riche-like growth structure could directly confront a century-old inheritance. Therefore, before she became strong enough, it was the most correct choice to lie low.
As for what happened later, it was also a normal development. The foolish-like Sato Shinichi still wanted to participate in the battle of psychics as a civilian. Although the young girl had always been aware of his overly enthusiastic personality, she had never seen such a death-seeking behavior in reality before.
Kazumi would naturally not let Sato Shinichi go to his death in vain. After all, this meal ticket had invested so much without even getting his capital back, so there was no reason to take it away now. Moreover, the best outcome would be for him to know Mai Shinomiyai’s danger and distance himself a little.
In the young girl’s speculation, Mai Shinomiyai’s purpose in coming to Shikoku Gakuin was very likely to find her clues, so she didn’t want her dog to have too much contact with her, which might lead to her own exposure.
This could also prevent him from witnessing her dealing with Mai Shinomiyai later, which would cause troublesome variables.
Of course, in the end, Kazumi admitted that she was a little bit unwilling for her dog to have contact with Mai Shinomiyai. She had raised her own dog, and even though she would sell it for money later, it was temporarily hers. She could let others pet it, but if someone tried to snatch it away, she wouldn’t be willing.
It wasn’t about caring for the dog, but mainly because the dog was valuable.
Money was more important!
[And then he kissed me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
The useless fantasies in her mind were all overturned in an instant. Even just recalling the last actions of the two people made Kazumi’s mind explode, filled with strange pink bubbles.
In order not to let Sato Shinichi do anything foolish, she stepped forward and stopped him. The young boy liked to help others, which was good, but he was also a sensible person with a brain.
Even the other party just wanted him to help contact the teacher. If she explained to him the difference between civilians and ability users, and the concept of not minding other people’s business when they shouldn’t, it would be very simple to stop his dangerous idea, and even extend it to interacting less with Mai Shinomiyai in the future.
Originally, everything was developing normally, and the dog seemed to have been persuaded by her. Everything was within the young girl’s plan.
Then…….
Touching the faint warmth on her face, a blush of unnatural red appeared on the young girl’s fair cheeks. Her eyes stared at the stairwell as if recalling something.
She had been kissed.
She had been kissed by a man, but fortunately, it was on the cheek. Her first kiss was still there (smile).
What good is it to be fortunate? Being kissed by a man is a disgusting thing! And brain, stop imagining the scene of your first kiss!!!
After shaking her head for a while, the young girl finally managed to drive away the strange fantasies in her mind. After all, automatically imagining the scene of kissing a boy was too disgusting.
The problem was that she seemed to feel happy about it?!!
Reaching out to smooth down her upturned lips, Kazumi knew that all of this was just an instinctive physiological reaction caused by her body’s emotions, which was different from her main consciousness. She, Su Jun, had always been a pure man who only liked women.
After a simple self-hypnosis, Kazumi finally broke free from her strange state. She blocked out all the images of what had just happened from her mind, and Kazumi resumed her original thought process.
Although she didn’t know how Sato Shinichi had learned such a method of escape, the problem was that he had succeeded and was likely rushing towards Mai Shinomiyai.
Kazumi knew that the young boy was only acting out of concern for a classmate and had no other intentions. Moreover, she had never had the habit of being bothered by someone who was going to die by her hand. But what concerned her more now was that foolish guy who was unarmed and still mixing into the fight of ability users.
“Really… a worrying guy!”
Muttering regretfully in a low voice, the young girl raised her right hand. the skull phantom on her hand flashed past, and a hint of determination flickered in her jet-black eyes. Then, without looking back, she walked towards the stairwell.
