For the next period of time, in addition to completing the schoolwork efficiently as usual, I spent it in the exercise of chain judgment ability and equipment.

I make a multi-pocket waterproof trench coat with a hood made to order at a clothing shop. I also bought long-barreled hiking boots and added an iron blade to the soles. Steel goggles, gloves, shin guards and arm armor were also made to order at a specialized model shop. Install a flip-up blade on the outside of your armour at home.

There are also goggles, mountaineering helmets with flashlights and homemade gas masks.

Make a list of all the things I think will be useful.

The cost of buying these things was not enough even if I kept the food expenses to a minimum, so Sakiya compressed her own food expenses and gave them to me along with pocket money.

"Because Ah Chuan is here to help me." She said happily.

I also use her mobile phone, and I always get calls from her during recess, and at first I thought she was being threatened, but she just wanted to chat.

"It's boring to be alone at home."

"So how about going to school? Morino misses you so much. I will always be with you, too, and it will not be more dangerous than at home. ”

"If I go to school, there will be no one to help Ah Chuan order materials, and no one will help Ah Chuan collect intelligence."

"It's better to work overtime after school."

"Don't!" She decisively refused.

Although Sakiya resisted repeatedly, her homeroom teacher, Kuwabara-sensei, became suspicious because she had taken too long of her leave. Because he threatened that "the future leave slip needs to be signed by both parents", I had to persuade Sakiya to return to school.

"I can imitate my father's handwriting." Sakiya said.

"Look at Mr. Kuwabara's expression, and if you upgrade again, you will be directly approached by the parents."

In this way, she can only compromise even if she is reluctant. I went to school the next day.

I watched her enter the classroom several positions away, and she pretended not to know that I was following me. The female classmates in the class who hadn't seen Sakuya for a while came over to ask for warmth, and after a while, Morino joined in, and the two whispered intimately, looking the same as before.

Should I say scheming, or don't I want to ruin the friendship for that kind of thing?

However, this affection and care for friends led to painful results.

What kind of expression should you use to deal with this time?

Just laugh. When I was chased and escaped into the elevator, Sakiya said this to me.

After class that day, Hakkei stopped me as I was about to go to the bathroom.

"I found out about that bottle."

"It's fast." I was amazed that Hakkei's ability to act was really not to be underestimated.

She handed me a photo of her students.

"What is this?"

"The weight of the first grade."

This is a private photograph of a student named Luan Chong standing in an alley and talking to a group of people from outside the school. His height is above average, slightly thin, with short and medium-length broken hair, he is somewhat handsome, but what makes him different from ordinary students is that he gives people a lifeless feeling, which gives a strong impression.

"Such a unique student should be a bit famous, right?"

"It feels very impressive, but I haven't heard him do anything earth-shattering, and he is more low-key than ordinary students. However, he once contradicted a senior who did not have a very good reputation, but he didn't do anything afterwards, which is doubtful. ”

"And then? Does he have that bottle? ”

"We found out he was trading this bottle full of blue liquid outside of school. Most of these people are not students, but social people who look a little down. ”

"Bastard?"

"They all have jobs."

It seems that this mountain weight and Morino are not the same system, is it because of the different division of responsibility areas?

"Also, the blue liquid seems to be called 'paradise'. I asked someone I knew to investigate. It is an addictive psychedelic drug, but there are some unknown ingredients in it that cannot be identified. ”

Probably gray stone. I think.

"Are you going to keep chasing this line?" I asked about the Eight Scenes.

"Do you have anything to say?" She asked.

"Have you heard of Morino?"

"The girl in the next class?" Eight nodded, "I know her, she is not weak among girls, but there are many rumors." ”

"Does this Luanzhong junior have any dealings with Morino?"

“…… I got it. Hakkei tapped the tip of his pen thoughtfully, "It seems that the rumors of Morino are not groundless, I will check it out." ”

"Be careful not to die."

"Are you serious?" Hachikage stared at me, "Enough temptation. ”

Because I made an appointment with Saki to go back together, I waited for a long time in front of her classroom pretending to see the scenery, but I was nowhere to be seen. When she asked her classmates about the reason of speaking for the class teacher, she received the answer, "She went back with Morino when she was just out of school." ”

That's not a good answer. Sakuya knew that the shadow behind Morino was full of danger, but he left me alone, so something must have happened in the first place, right?

As an early warning means, the mobile phone was returned to Sakuya early in the morning.

I called her at the commissary outside the school and it was quickly connected.

"Quick, come and save me." Sakuya said with a crying voice over there.

The situation seemed urgent, so I immediately asked her where she was.

She said the name of a store. It was a small gift shop that even I had heard of, and was well known among girls, on the right side of the first intersection in front of the school gate.

When I got there, Morino and Sakiya were surrounded by six boys. Morino opened his hands in front of Sakiya, she didn't see Sakiya with his back to her, as if he wanted to protect her back, and stared at the boys who surrounded her in fear with fear.

I heard their shouting and cursing from afar. Even though they were in front of the shop and there were people around, no one stepped forward to stop them.

"I don't want to be rough with women, give me paradise!"

"What paradise? I don't know what to do. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, no one can save you this time, I know that you have the goods in your hands."

"You're looking for the wrong person!"

"Luanzhong, you know each other, right? You're in this group, and he's told me. ”

"Bastard guy! If you dare to make a move on me, be careful not to go back. ”

The boy who looked like the leader who was confronting Morino head-on grabbed Morino's shirt hard and was slapped hard by her. ,

"Don't touch me!" She scolded angrily.

The boys seem to have decided to take the weak as hostages first, and Sakuya's situation was already critical, so I ran halfway through, grabbed a broom that a store had placed at the door and rushed up.

Although I was warned by my companion who had noticed me, the guy who seemed to be the leader didn't react because he had his back on me. As soon as I turned around, I was struck in the shin of the leg and almost fell to the ground.

He hugged his feet and crouched on the ground to inhale. The others shouted and cursed fiercely, and rushed towards me.

There are still three people who are guarding Sakuya and Morino, but their danger has been largely removed.

A boy who ran towards me and exposed his back to Morino was kicked in the ass by Morino, stumbled out of the other companions, and I immediately hit him in the cheek with a broom. This time, it seemed that even the teeth were knocked out, and he covered his face and screamed in pain.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of their companions, the others all stopped in place a little timidly. I smoothly rushed to Sakiya and Morino's side, glaring at each other.

At this moment, I unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the crowd of onlookers.

It is eight scenes.

She peeked through the cracks in the human wall, just as she did during the infighting on a basketball team.

She met my gaze with no expression on her face.

It occurred to me that this conflict could not have been deliberately created by her, right?

"Bastard, you don't want to die, you dare to attack us." The leader stood up and spoke to me viciously.

"Whatever you want to do, I've called the police, and I advise you to leave quickly." I said to him.

"You ......" he was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, took out his mobile phone and listened to it for a while, his face changed several times, and said to me: "Count you out on shit luck!" ”

After leaving a harsh word, he angrily beckoned to his subordinates. Let's go! Let's go!

Just gone? That kid is so heavy!

Instructions above. Are you going or not? If you want to stay and do whatever you want, I won't help you carry the black cauldron.

Hey, let's go, let's go, it's boring.

The boys grumbled and left with a limp of their heads, not even glaring back at us.

I looked again at where Hakkei had been, and she was gone.
