"Miss Nagata, please wait a moment."

Out of understanding of the security guard, Yuji Kiba did not chase into the school, but he did not leave, but returned to the side of the school gate where he was waiting before, and continued to wait for the arrival of Yuka Nagata.

Luckily, his luck seemed to have finally started to fluctuate upwards before he had gone through those events, although even so, he waited until the afternoon to see Yuka Nagata.

Thinking of this, Yuji Kiba smiled bitterly at himself, but these expressions were not shown on his face.

And after hearing Yuji Kiba's voice, Yuka Nagata, who had her head down, raised her head suddenly, and looked at Yuji Kiba's eyes as if a light lit up for a moment.

"You ......"

She whispered in surprise and surprise, but quickly lowered her head again, tugging at her half-wet cuffs with some uneasiness, and water dripping down her hair to the ground.

Her body trembled slightly, restless, cold...... Maybe it's both.

Yuji Kiba guessed as he looked at Yuka Nagata.

He kept a polite safe distance and didn't ask her why she didn't wipe it clean after washing her hair.

"My name is Kiba, Yuji Kiba."

He introduced himself.

"Do you still have any impressions of what we saw yesterday?"

"Hmmm......"

Nagata Yuka nodded in response to a mosquito fly.

"Mr. Kiba, thank you very much for your help yesterday."

"No, it's nothing, I think other people will not hesitate to reach out when they see that situation."

"Maybe......"

Hearing Yuka Nagata's answer, Yuji Kiba reaffirmed his previous guess.

'Bullying, ......'

If they are not surrounded by malice, who would doubt the possibility of kindness from strangers?

He was silent for a moment, then took off his coat and handed it to Yuka Nagata.

"Well, if you don't mind......"

"-Thank you!"

Yuka Nagata looked at the coat handed over by Yuji Kiba for a while, and her face suddenly became a bright red, and a smile finally appeared on her face, which had only been a sad expression.

She smiled and said words of thanks, and then when she took Yuji Kiba's coat and brought it to her face, the muscles at the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.

'It stinks! ’

Although it stinks, Nagata Yuka laughs out loud, and at the same time, a very reassuring feeling wells up from the bottom of her heart.

'In two days, I'll probably smell like this from my body, right?' ’

As someone who had been kicked out of the house by her adoptive parents and had only a few coins in her pocket, and with the living examples in front of her as a reference, she could easily imagine her next wandering life.

"Thank you, Mr. Kiba!"

She shook off her coat and put it on her body, and thanked Yuji Kiba again, her expression looking much brighter.

It's just that her series of facial changes made Yuji Kiba feel a little embarrassed and confused.

He could understand the micro-expression at the beginning, and he also remembered that he hadn't taken a shower for several days, and he had been exposed to the rain once, and there was no way to emit a peculiar smell, and it was understandable that the girl couldn't accept it, which was indeed something he didn't think about before handing out his coat...... But what were the reactions after that?

Why did this girl not only thank him again, but also feel a lot better!?

I don't understand, I don't understand......

Yuji Kiba scratched his head and said, "...... It's good if you don't dislike it. ”

After saying that, he added.

"Ah, by the way, about the schoolbag you left that day, it was taken away by several girls in the morning, they said that they were friends of your sister and would pass the schoolbag to you, do you know them?"

Younger sister...... Sister's friends...... Schoolbag...... Transmitting......

There was no need for Yuji Kiba to describe the appearance of those girls in detail, and Yuka Nagata's face turned white in an instant.

She has only one sister in this girls' high school, and the only people who can meddle with her affairs and are her sister's friends are the only ones in the women's basketball club, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

And after realizing this fact, her ears suddenly sounded like last night, and the voice of someone talking somewhere inside the school building sounded.

"That little slut is silent, I didn't expect to have a very handsome boyfriend."

"Heh, what's the use of being handsome, don't you smell it? The smell of that man's body stinks to death, I guess he hasn't showered or changed his clothes for several days, right? At first glance, he looks like a poor ghost! ”

"Yes, but it's the same, I suddenly feel that the two of them are quite compatible, and that little slut looks pretty good."

"Hmph, she can see that face."

"Will you return this bag to her then?"

"Well, why not? I heard that she has been kicked out of the house by Michiko's father, so how about we do something more interesting this time? ”

"What? What's interesting in your mind? ”

"In return for us to help her deliver her school bag, you say, what if we want her school uniform?"

"Oh, you're so bad, what if that's the only thing anyone can wear out of the house? After all, didn't she kick out the house? ”

"Hmph, wouldn't that be better?"

"That's right, hehe."

"Hahahahaha......"

It was as if countless needles had pierced her heart, and in the midst of those piercing laughter, she clutched her ears and turned to run away.

"Miss Nagata!"

Looking at Yuka Nagata, who seemed to be an injured bird fleeing in embarrassment after being frightened, Yuji Kiba hurriedly shouted, but did not get any response.

Thinking of that crane feather, Yuji Kiba's brows furrowed tightly.

Sure enough, she also became ......

So, what did she just hear?

Yuji Kiba looked inside the campus and took a deep breath.

And then

A cacophony of voices rang in my ears.

The sound of walking, talking and laughing, the sound of lectures...... Eventually, he turned his attention to the girls he had seen in the morning who were talking in the hallway.

“…… When the time comes, you look at my eyes, go up and hold down Yuka Nagata directly, and then the others will rip off her school uniform, understand? ”

"Don't worry, minister, with that little slut's body, he will definitely not be able to break free."

"That's it, minister, you can just rest assured that you can record the video......"

Those bastards!!

Yuji Kiba, an outsider, was furious when he heard it, let alone the person in question.

……

……

Night.

Without waiting for Yuka Nagata, several members of the women's basketball club felt very disappointed, and they changed their sportswear in the changing room and left the school.

On the way, a few people who were talking and laughing suddenly stopped talking.

They looked with some fear at the shadows that were gradually coming towards them from the darkness in front of them, and gathered together with trembling.

"What's that?"

"Is it a ghost?"

However, when they saw the shadow enter the light, revealing the appearance of Nagata Yuka, the fear on their faces suddenly turned to annoyance.

"Bastard, how dare you scare us-"

It was just that the sentence came to an abrupt end in the middle of the sentence, just like the expressions on their faces that had turned to horror at this time.

Because the Nagata Yuka in their eyes flickered twice in the two forms of the human form and the crane form of Orfilno, and stabilized to the form of the crane form of the crane form spread its wings, and pure white crane feathers were raised.

At the same time, the gray-white Centaur came up behind them and sent the blade out.
