Kyoko looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, a little as if she didn't understand.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not impatient either, just patiently explained.

"This junior of Apricot is not an ordinary person, she is... Well, how to put it. ”

"It's a youkai."

Hearing this, Apricot shivered visibly.

There was a frightened glow in her pupils.

"Demon... Monster? ”

"It's... It's the same as my uncle... Monsters? ”

Kyoko's expression became a little sad, and the small hand holding Uesugi Kiyoshi tightened, and she obviously remembered a not-so-good memory.

If there is anything that can be called her nightmare in the past vitality, then it is not the bits and pieces of school violence at all, nor the grief of the death of her parents.

It's a terrifying scene of an uncle turning into a monster.

That completely subverted her three views, and also signaled that her last relative was far away from her.

So, when Uesugi Kiyoshi said the word youkai, Kyoko subconsciously remembered those past events.

Uesugi Kiyoshi saw Kyoko's uneasiness and patted her little head as a reassurance.

"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, and I think it reminded you of memories you don't want to recall."

"But, Apricot, if you're going to stay with me all the time, there are some things you still have to get used to."

Kyoko didn't quite understand, but nodded quickly.

"That's... Uesugi-kun, are we going to save Chiba? ”

Facing Kyoko's question, Uesugi Kiyoshi slowly shook his head.

"Hey... She probably doesn't need me to save her. ”

After speaking, he answered the question that was not asked.

"Apricot, do you remember the first time we met?"

Apricot nodded busily, tapped her chin with her fingers, squinted and smiled, "Remember!" ”

"Uesugi-kun saved me like a god - that's it!"

Kyoko's expression was a little reverent, and Uesugi Kiyoshi even sensed a slight increase in the power of faith.

He didn't just laugh dumbly.

"Then do you remember Tosaka Tiger?"

Kyoko didn't hesitate and continued to nod.

"Remember, actually..."

She secretly glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi and felt that he should be in a good mood, so she said boldly with confidence.

"Actually, Tosaka-san helped me a lot, and many times it was his friends who helped me so that I wouldn't be bullied... It's just that my pocket money is too small, and I really can't give Tosaka-san enough share of the protection money, I'm really sorry! ”

As she spoke, Kyoko even bowed, not knowing who she was apologizing, and her cute appearance made Uesugi Kiyoshi laugh.

"Yes, Tosaka is not actually a heinous person, he is not a perpetrator, at most he is just a wealth collector."

"You should remember, Apricot, when I first started, I didn't want to have a conflict with Tosaka Tiger, but wanted to give him money and settle things."

"It's not that I'm afraid of them, I didn't have much work to deal with a few gangsters at that time."

"I'm afraid that the trouble will escalate, so that I won't be at peace at school in the future."

"Two... It's that if violence is used in the first place, then things will be uncontrollable. ”

"What if... Apricots, I mean if. ”

"If I save you that day, I just walk away, just like I saved Fujimura Chiba today, what do you think will happen?"

Apricot shook her head in confusion.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly, but his expression was deep.

"Tosaka Tiger isn't a complete badass, but he's not a good guy either."

"I made them lose face at the beginning, even if he was completely afraid of me and didn't dare to trouble me, then... What about you? ”

"Will this resentment be retribution on you?"

"I can protect you for the rest of my life, can I protect you for the rest of my life?"

"Apricot, no one can say for sure."

"Moreover, those scum today are much more unbearable than Tosaka Tiger, they are complete social scum and incorrigible."

"Don't think that they will have compassion in their hearts, they are generally angry, and they have to spread it."

"They don't dare to look for me, but what, your Senpai... It's going to be unlucky. ”

"Look."

Uesugi Kiyoshi stretched out his hand, and Kyoko looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a group of familiar killers, pushing and shoving, forcing Chiba into an alley.

Kyoko jumped up in a hurry, she shook the corner of Uesugi Kiyoshi's clothes, looked at him with blank eyes, did not speak, but there was endless pleading in her eyes.

"Help Chiba!"

This is more accurate than the verbal expression.

Uesugi smiled clearly, but shook his head.

"Don't worry, Apricot, I don't have the habit of doing half a good thing."

"However, this time, I shouldn't need to help him."

"Let's just watch... She needs to save herself, there is a hurdle, she has to step through it herself, pulling out the seedlings to help her grow, it can only kill her! ”

What Uesugi Kiyoshi said was too obscure and profound for Apricot, although she was relieved, but she was still worried about the safety of her younger sister, rubbing a pair of small short legs, and she was eager to go down that alley.

Seeing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't have the idea of teasing her.

He gestured to Mitsuishi Ueno, who was following him, and Mitsushi Ueno immediately understood.

It is a gesture of "clear the field and prevent mortals from entering by mistake".

Coupled with the direction in which Uesugi Kiyoshi was heading, Ueno Mitsuishi took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, whispered a few words, and immediately there were association agents in plain clothes who gathered from all directions and followed Uesugi Kiyoshi behind him, intending to block the alley.

By the time Kiyoshi Uesugi and Kyoko walked into the alley, the bullying not far away had already begun.

It's too far away for the apricots to see, and the dark alley is in the middle of two nightclubs, cramped, dirty, and unusually dirty, with few pedestrians.

Uesugi Kiyoshi can see at night, and his eyesight is good, and he can clearly see that a hot girl who killed Matt is slapping Chiba Fujimura without pity.

While committing violence, he cursed filthy words in his mouth, and every word he said was unbearable.

The weak are like that, they want to get all the shame of the day back on the weaker.

This is the gap in concept, but also the gap in essence.

If Uesugi Kiyoshi is humiliated, he will never be angry with others.

Immerse yourself in hard training, do your best, and take revenge on this grievance, this is what should be done.

So, he's strong now.

The leading hot girl was slapped in the face, maybe a little hard, Fujimura Chiba's thin body couldn't stand it, staggered and fell, and when he stood up again, he didn't know whether his face was cut by glass shards or stones.

From the left cheek through the lips to the right ear.

A face that is not beautiful, but always delicate, can be regarded as broken.

Uesugi raised her eyebrows and restrained her smile.

Anger has reached its peak, like a volcano about to erupt.

In his eyes, the demonic energy was rampaging in the thin girl's body, just waiting for the last straw to be pressed, and the rational nerves would collapse.

By then...

Human nature is extinguished, and demons are present.
