After breakfast, Kitagawa Tera and Kamiya Mirai went to school together.

Kamiya Mirai’s excited chattering was a stark contrast to Kitagawa Tera’s nonchalant one-word responses.

He was pondering about many things.

Logically speaking, Ishikawa Kaito was now arrested, and Sakura Yuuki should not be able to find the next killer in such a short time. As such, Kamiya Mirai would not have to waste money staying with him.

However, this little girl Kamiya Mirai did not mention the word ‘leave’. On the contrary, she discussed the matter last night with great interest.

“Tera-kun! How did you do it last night? That was a crazy executioner with bloodstained hands! You actually dared to chase after him by yourself.”

“… He’s not crazy. Moreover, Ishikawa Kaito attacked only high school students or single women physically weaker than him. It wasn’t difficult dealing with him.”

Seeing her exaggeration becoming more outrageous, Kitagawa Tera frowned. “And it wasn’t just me. Ryoko helped out quite a lot as well.”

Arano Ryoko’s capture was not bad for him. In fact, it was better for him since he would not have to deal with the media and making statements.

“But Tera-kun gave chase! An average boy wouldn’t be able to do that!” Kamiya Mirai waved her fist in triumphantly, wanting to say something, but she immediately thought that Kitagawa Tera was not average at all and swallowed her words.

“Whatever you think.” Kitagawa Tera did not bother with her as he walked forward while carrying his bag.

It was also good for Kamiya Mirai not to leave his house now.

After he was done with the matters on hand, letting her stay at his house to take care of Kitagawa Eri might also be a wise decision.

Although it seemed he was using Kamiya Mirai as a tool, he was not a big deal to owe her a favor. And when he helped her in the future, he could take no money… no, take less money from her.

Kitagawa Tera’s heart moved slightly, rather satisfied with his decision.

If he did not charge her anything, Kamiya Mirai’s pride might be hurt, so it was absolutely reasonable for him to charge her!

With this idea in mind, he turned back toward Kamiya Mirai and no longer looked at her as a pure human, but felt she was more like a money bag.

“… Did I provoke you, Tera-kun?” Kamiya Mirai felt her hair stand on end from Kitagawa Tera’s burning gaze. She could not figure out the reason but subconsciously grabbed something from inside her schoolbag.

“I only have this.” She solemnly stuffed the thing she took out from her bag into Kitagawa Tera’s hand.

“?” Kitagawa Tera.

Kitagawa Tera raised his eyebrow suspiciously and looked at the thing in his hands.

A touch of pink popped into his eyes…

Kitagawa Tera hit Kamiya Mirai’s head without a word.

What is wrong with this little girl’s brain circuit?

…

After hitting her, the sullen Kitagawa Tera stared at Kamiya Mirai stuffing her underwear back into her schoolbag. He sighed.

Someone like this is a famous beauty in the grade?

Kitagawa Tera felt that this beauty Kamiya Mirai was not as reliable as his sister, Kitagawa Eri.

After seeing Kamiya Mirai leave, Kamiya Mirai walked subconsciously to his classroom.

Before he could walk far, someone pulled his sleeve.

Kitagawa Tera turned back, a little surprised. “Asamiya-san?”

A small band-aid was affixed on the side of her face. Asamiya Hitomi was grabbing on to his palm tightly with her eyes covered by her gloomy bangs.

You could search high and low only to find it when you least expected to.

Kitagawa Tera had planned to find a time to discuss the problem of her curse privately, but he did not expect her to come to him.

Asamiya Hitomi’s body shuddered. She loosened a few fingers as though she noticed that something was not good. However, she seemed to have thought of something and tightened her grip on Kitagawa Tera’s sleeve.

Under Kitagawa Tera’s doubtful eyes, she bit her snow-white teeth. “K-Kitagawa-san, you c-can’t go to class now…”

“Can’t go to class?” Kitagawa Tera looked at Asamiya Hitomi and repeated her sentence.

He was smart, responding quickly after combining what happened yesterday with Asamiya Hitomi’s reaction. “Someone will block my way?”

“… Eh? How did K-Kitagawa-san know?” Asamiya Hitomi raised her head in surprise.

She was still hesitating whether or not to tell Kitagawa Tera about the situation, but he had already deduced it by himself?

What kind of observation power was this?

However, according to his personality, Kitagawa Tera would probably start fighting without saying a word, right?

Asamiya Hitomi hesitated a while before revealing everything. “Two of the three students that you took wallets from know third-year seniors… They brought a dozen seniors and blocked the door of our class. They said you have to apologize and compensate the two classmates. Otherwise, they’ll teach you a lesson.

“They didn’t do anything to me since I’m a girl.”

So that’s what’s going on.

Kitagawa Tera finally understood why Asamiya Hitomi was waiting here so early in the morning.

She only wanted to bring this news to him.

After saying so much, Asamiya Hitomi’s face turned red, and she said worriedly, “Kitagawa-san, don’t go there… There are a lot of them, and I heard that some of the seniors practiced taekwondo before.”

Seeing her small appearance prattling on, Kitagawa Tera only thought that she was a little funny. Asamiya Hitomi really regards me as a violent person.

He pressed his hands on Asamiya Hitomi’s trembling shoulders and said in a very calm tone, “Relax, Asamiya-san. I’m not someone dangerous, nor am I an unreasonable violent person.”

Kitagawa Tera paused and continued casually, “It’s almost time for class now. Keeping them in front of the classroom will only cause trouble for other classmates. It will be better if I face them personally. How about this? I’ll reason with them without lifting a finger.”

“Um… all right.”

Kitagawa Tera’s words were refined and easy-going. Asamiya Hitomi nodded and followed him without believing him entirely.

…

Entrance of Class 1-1.

It was long full of students not only from Class1-1, but even those from Class 1-2 and 1-3 heard the news and were here to watch the good show.

It was human nature to enjoy some excitement.

Moreover, it was still early. Most of the teachers were not here yet, so they were all happy to join in the fun.

Two students with faces full of bruises were angrily waiting for Kitagawa Tera to appear by the door of Class 1-1.

Having been beaten so badly and even getting their wallets snatched, they had to give Kitagawa Tera some hardship.

With this hatred in mind, they ignored Ikegami and Seki’s advice and called all the seniors they knew. They firmly believed that Kitagawa Tera could only beg for mercy with this lineup and would never dare to defy them directly.

“Kitagawa’s here!” someone cried out.

Everyone was on high alert.

The main character was finally here!
