215 The Eve

Mai- chan gave a smug smile, "That's right, I've been watching a lot of videos lately, Strange Arts are really hard to defend against~"

She also wanted to show off her knowledge.

Shuya spoke up, "So that's why you've been laughing at me behind my back?"

Mai- chan's voice faltered, and she said awkwardly, "... You heard that?"

What do you think, you idiot?

"Goodbye!"

Mai- chan slammed the door shut, but Shuya easily pulled it back.

He took off his shoes and walked into Mai- chan's room. "Excuse me."

"What are you doing here? You're trespassing!"

Mai- chan reluctantly returned to her room, having been caught red-handed talking badly about him, leaving her unable to say anything about kicking him out.

Section 231, 215 The Eve

I was just bored and wanted to chat.

Shuya looked around her room with curiosity.

Mai- chan's room doesn't have many girly things; she only has one or two dolls.

Shuya flipped through the books on the bookshelf, which were mostly script textbooks and the like, and were quite uninteresting.

He glanced around the room and shook his head heavily.

What's with that expression?

Mai- chan said unhappily, "Is my room really that bad?"

"No, it's just more boring than I imagined."

Shuya spoke frankly.

He asked suspiciously, "Are you really a ten-year-old girl?"

"Where would I find the time to play with things that little girls should play with?"

Mai -chan narrowed her eyes.

"Poor child."

"Shut up."

Mai- chan kicked him.

She said unhappily, "Don't you have any common sense, coming to the girls' room at this hour?"

"What kind of relationship do we have? Don't worry about such a small thing!"

Shuya continued to tour the room with his hands behind his back. When he curiously tried to open a drawer under the wardrobe, Mai grabbed his collar. "You pervert, stop right there!"

Her tone was cold, but Shuya was used to Yukino's tone and didn't think anything of it.

What's inside?

What do you think?

Mai- chan's tone grew increasingly unfriendly.

Shuya stopped teasing her and turned around, saying, "I have something important to do soon, so I came to see you before I left."

"A big deal? How big is it?"

Mai- chan raised an eyebrow.

"Generally large."

Shuya originally wanted to say "very big" to show off, but then he thought that Japan was only the size of an insect on Earth, and this battle of Monster only involved about one or two million Monster.

The actual number of Monster participating in the battle is probably less than 300,000, which is hardly a significant number compared to billions of people.

So he remained humble.

"Oh. So you've come to me again to complain?"

Mai- chan found some stomach medicine from the side.

"... Calm down, I'm not going to say anything."

Shuya stopped her with a wry smile, then his brow furrowed and he said, "Your mother's here, I'm leaving."

"My mom?"

The next second, Mai heard a knock on the door. Mai's mother asked, "Mai? Who are you talking to on the phone? I can hear you talking."

"No!"

Mai- chan replied, but when she turned around, Shuya was already gone, with only the blackout curtains on the balcony swaying gently.

"What exactly is he trying to do...?"

Mai- chan muttered something to herself and went to deal with her mother.

After leaving Mai- chan's house, Shuya wandered the streets of Tokyo and ended up near his Little Senior Sister's house.

He jumped up the outer wall and heard beautiful piano melodies carried on the wind.

Shuya was leaning against the balcony of his Little Senior Sister's living room, separated from Little Senior Sister by only one wall.

"Hmph, hmph... hmph, hmph---"

The Little Senior Sister seemed very relaxed, humming a song as she played the instrument.

Shuya used his Power of Will to lift a corner of the curtain and secretly peeked in through the window.

The Little Senior Sister, with a smile on her face, pressed the piano keys in the quiet hall, exuding a pure and warm aura.

Shuya was so engrossed in the music that after listening for a while, his hidden aura unconsciously crumbled.

The Little Senior Sister looked over as if she sensed something, but only saw the swaying curtains.

She murmured reflexively, "Shuya- kun?"

Shuya didn't hear what his Little Senior Sister said and had already gone far away.

He didn't want to bother his Little Senior Sister.

He walked and stopped along the way, and then went to Hyakka's new home, where he chatted with her in her room.

He went to his apartment building in the early hours of the morning.

He didn't go inside, but went next door and waited quietly in front of the door for a while.

Shuya's eyes seemed to pierce through the door and see the people inside.

"..."

He stood there for a long time before turning and leaving.

About ten minutes later, Shuya sneaked into the Yukinoshita Family to take a shower, and then slipped into Haruno's room.

The next day, when Haruno woke up, she was shocked to find that there was someone else in her bed.

Shuya her arms.

Haruno: "???"

Just then, there was a knocking sound on the door.

"Sister, wake up."

Yukino pushed open the door and entered, her eyes meeting those of a bewildered Haruno.

"???"

"Excuse me, please continue."

Yukino saw Shuuya Shuya his face in Haruno's chest and closed the door without changing her expression.

"???"

Haruno tilted her head and struggled for a moment, but Shuya held her very tightly, and she couldn't break free.

She ruthlessly reached out and pinched Shuya's nose.

Hmm...?

Shuya woke up quickly, just as expected.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Haruno's bright smile.

"Oh... good morning?"

Shuya smiled in response.

Haruno wanted to give him a piece of her mind, but when she saw his smile, her anger suddenly dissipated.

"Get up if you're awake."

She lazily raised her hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Senior Shu-chan, help me change my clothes~"

"?"

Shuya didn't understand her change of heart, but he still helped her pick out a dress.

As the saying goes, "Do one good deed every day and be happy to help others."

I'm such a good person.

Shuya managed to move himself.

He and Haruno took a long time to change their clothes before coming out, Yukino had already finished half of her breakfast.

Now that they cultivate with the Monster, they no longer need to do their morning exercises, which is why they can eat leisurely.

The Monster train until the afternoon, then disperse to hunt strange creatures.

Yukino glanced at her older sister's rosy cheeks Shuya.

"You two, so early in the morning..."

Shuya didn't bother to explain and interrupted her directly, "Are you jealous?"

"..."

Yukino chuckled, clearly having lost interest in speaking.

Haruno, however, grinned and leaned closer, saying, "Hey, Yukino- chan, I actually don't..."

No, I don't want to.

Yukino cut her off before she could finish speaking.

Haruno said plaintively, "Yukino- chan has been getting colder and colder lately."

"..."

Yukino ignored her and ate her breakfast gracefully.

After finishing his meal with them, Shuya said, "Come with me to the training ground."

Haruno asked in confusion, "So urgent?"

"Hmm, today's been anything but peaceful..."

Shuya a soft sigh, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

He understood why he had acted strangely yesterday.

It was clear that the Power of Will had sensed something and knew that something unexpected would happen today, so he sent him to say goodbye to them.

Seeing Shuya's appearance, the Yukinoshita Sisters set off with him.

Upon arriving at the training ground in the suburbs, the Aoyama Sisters Shizuka Hiratsuka were there.
