Chapter 98 Unlocking the Sheath

Almost at the same time that Zhe Lukui's communication was hung up, Hui Yuanchu's cell phone rang.

He quickly grabbed it and took a look - it was not a communication in the E system, but just an ordinary phone call, and the caller was the manager of this apartment.

"Hello?" Hui Yuanchu answered the phone.

"Haihara-kun?" The administrator's voice was hesitant, "Can you come down for a moment? There seems to be a guest of yours here."

"...Huh? Okay."

Two minutes later, Haihara went down to the first floor of the apartment and saw Yukinoshita Saya in front of the administrator's house.

She didn't even want to enter the house, she just squatted at the door with her hair down and stared blankly.

"I was shocked when I came out to use the toilet just now. Why was there suddenly a girl? How long have you been squatting here? Then I asked her but she didn't answer anything. She only reported your name once and ignored her. I'm dead." The administrator said helplessly, then hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Do I need to call the police?"

"Ah, no, thank you, uncle. She is my girlfriend. She just ran out after a quarrel with her family. And when she is in a bad mood, she will be rude and ignore others. Don't mind." Hui Yuanchu said quickly, "Then I took her with me."

"You can do it yourself." The administrator replied simply, and turned back to the room to continue watching TV.

While they were talking, Yukinoshita Saya had stood up silently and stood next to Hui Yuanchu with her head lowered.

Hui Yuan glanced at her and could only say helplessly: "...Then come with me."

After returning to the house, without waiting for Haihara's first greeting, Yukinoshita Saya knelt down on the only cushion in the middle of the room without saying a word.

Hui Yuan initially looked around and could only sit on his bed helplessly.

Then the room fell silent again.

Haiyuan had really thought about finding an opportunity tomorrow to avoid Arthur and Rei and have a good talk with Yukinoshita Saya.

But what he didn't expect was that before that, Yukinoshita Saya came over first... Well, let's ask now.

Soon, he organized his thoughts,

But Hui Yuanchu just raised his head without opening his mouth, looking at the scene of Yukinoshita Saya sitting silently in front of him, and suddenly he was stunned.

It always felt like they were exactly where the two of them were when Yukinoshita Katsumi was killed.

Isn't the current posture of Yukinoshita Saya the Iai hand posture that can draw a sword and strike at any time?

The next moment, the girl's tired voice sounded in the room: "Haihara-senpai."

Haiyuan came back to his senses and glanced at Yukinoshita Saya's hands again, confirming that they were placed on the girl's knees and not in any strange posture.

Then he realized that Yukinoshita Saya actually took the initiative to speak.

He thought about it and realized that the voice he heard just now was a little soft, but it was clear and unambiguous.So Hui Yuanchu couldn't help but confirm it again: "Are you calling me?"

"Yes." Yukinoshita Saya said, raising her head and looking up at him.

Haiyuanchu suddenly realized that this was the first time he had seen Yukinoshita Saya take the initiative to make eye contact with someone...and it lasted for such a long time.

and also--

"How do you know my name? Do you know that I live here? I shouldn't have—" Haiyuan initially remembered that he had never introduced himself in front of Saya, and it was impossible to have this information in his WeLine account.

"Senior is very famous in the school."

"No, it's not a matter of being famous..." Hui Yuanchu was surprised again.

The question here is: since Yukinoshita said that he is "famous in school", does that mean that she is always paying attention to things in school?

"I asked Mr. Fujiwara."

"...Okay." Haiyuan thought to himself that Alisa-chan, who was indeed nosy, would respond to any student's request for help without hesitation, and even drive her here.

But is Yukinoshita Saya such an active person?I always feel that she is too different from her usual appearance...

Hui Yuanchu changed his mind and continued to ask: "So, why did you come to me? Is there anything else you need help with?"

"Yes. I want to confirm with senior why he helped me." Yukinoshita Saya said calmly, "...in the sports warehouse, on the tram, and in the corridor. Senior helped me three times, and I remember them all."

"The first time I just went with the flow. The next two times... wasn't it because Yukinoshita took the initiative to ask me for help?" Haiyuan thought for a while and replied.

Then he felt something strange further.

At some point, his and Yukinoshita Saya's positions were reversed.She became the aggressive one.

Yukinoshita continued to stare at him and ask questions, not accepting his answer easily: "Asking for help is not a reason to respond."

"Isn't it?"

"It doesn't matter." Hui Yuanchu also knows that there is no reason in the world that one must respond to a request for help, and this is just his own principle.

But what he cares about is what Yukinoshita Saya thinks about this issue.

"You mean, even if you ask for help, I don't have to respond?"

"It should be so. You won't do anything without reward. That's how humans are."

"Is that why you've never asked anyone for help?" Hui Yuanchu frowned, feeling like he had captured her logic.

After a moment of silence, the girl replied: "Yes, I am useless to others. Others cannot use me."

——"useless", "useful", "use".

Haiyuan initially felt that Yukinoshita Saya's use of these words was really harsh, and finally couldn't help but said: "People are not objects. What you said is too strange."

The girl just looked at him deeply and didn't answer.

"Okay... In short, what you mean is that you think that if you can't provide any benefits, then there will be no response for asking for help." Hui Yuanchu had no choice but to change a few words to understand what she just said, "But, If that’s what you think, there’s no reason for you to ask me for help.”

"Because when we met for the second time, Senior said he wanted to date me."

"..."

Hui Yuan was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at Yukinoshita Saya carefully again.

The girl's expression was as calm as her tone, and she could even be said to be half asleep.Although she was looking at him, her eyes were not focused on his face, but always looked a little hollow.

In such a scenario, it seems that there is no option to joke.

"So I remember. I am useful to seniors. If I ask seniors for help, there is a chance that I can get a response." She continued, "So, I came to confirm that seniors' requests are still serious. Of?"

Hui Yuan originally wanted to answer without thinking - of course not!
A week ago, at that time on the street, the reason why he shouted "please date" without shame in the street...the only purpose was to attract Yukinoshita's attention and break her resistance.

He originally just planned to apologize again after Yukinoshita talked to him——

Ah, but now Yukinoshita is indeed willing to talk to him, and has revealed important information to him.So this request itself is actually useless...

[Side mission: The wish to behead the ghost (2/5)]

[Explore the interior of Yukinoshita Sandyro's scabbard. 】

[Saya Yukinoshita's scabbard has been unlocked for you and invites you:]

[A choice appears: A response to Yukinoshita Saya. 】

【Yes】

[——Reward: Mission advancement node and a reminder card]

【no】

[——Trigger the destruction ending immediately]

Hui Yuanchu's words got stuck in his throat in time.

But when he looked through the mission text and looked carefully at the expression on Yukinoshita's face, he realized that her current attitude was unusually calm.

If you are confessed by someone you love, you will cry. If you are confessed by someone you like, you will be shy. If you are confessed by someone you don't like, you will be troubled. If you are confessed by someone you don't like, you will be angry. If you are confessed by someone you don't know, you will be panicked.

At the moment when a bond is created, a connection will be created between people's hearts.

Whether it is good or bad, cut off or strengthened, that is a matter for the future... But at the moment when the link is realized, except for those who are as hard-hearted as iron, the human heart will instinctively turmoil.

However, when this happened to Yukinoshita Saya, Haiyuan couldn't find any emotion on her face.

Not at that moment, not now, never.

Although Yukinoshita turned her face towards him, she did not look into his eyes.

Her eyes were still out of focus, as if they were focused on something else a few meters behind her.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly had a realization: if he really said "no", the girl would just say "I understand" plainly, then stand up, turn around and leave.

But from now on, there will be no further response to him.

Then what?What happens then?
Hui Yuan had no way of knowing at first, but he saw the system's decisive conclusion: "The ending of destruction."

——So, this is the only chance to choose.
