Seven days passed by in a flash.
As for Hayasaka Ai, Supernatural has not given a response yet. After all, judging from the symptoms of Shinomiya Kaguya, she will not die for the time being.
But during the time when the members left Kyoto, although Tamamonomae and Hachishaku-sama took turns patrolling, they were missing Yotsuya Miko, an important reconnaissance ability user, so their efficiency was not very high.
Oda Noto has accumulated a large number of exorcism requests that need to be dealt with urgently.
There is another reason that is difficult to talk about.
The consumption level in Tokyo is indeed a bit high.
Summarize it in one sentence.
The club’s activity funds have been almost used up.
Indeed, among the members there are wealthy ladies like Touma Kazusa, Yukinoshita Yukino, Sakurajima Mai, and Futaba Rio, who don't have to worry about money at all.
But if we go out together, it is impossible to let them pay for everything, and the other members would feel embarrassed to spend their money.
This is what is called, one thing for one thing.
As for Amano Haruna, she has not participated in the collective actions of the Chaoliang Society during this period, and even missed two meetings during the period.
She only does one thing every day.
Part-time job.
Working hard.
Although the members did not say it explicitly, they all knew the reason why Amano Haruna did this.
No one can guarantee that if the Super Society, which has been carefully preparing for such a long time and all the members who have awakened the soul embodiment go out together, they will be able to destroy the weather god.
After all, although the other party is not a good thing, he is a real god who can influence the weather of the entire Sakura Province.
If the plan fails...
Amano Haruna will disappear.
She hoped to leave enough money for her brother before she disappeared, to ensure that he could still live a normal life even if she, as his elder sister, disappeared.
As for Tokyo, after Light Yagami publicly executed the criminal Miurakura, it also caused a heated discussion.
Procedural justice VS outcome justice.
The support online is almost overwhelmingly in favor of "Kira".
After all, a criminal who committed such a horrific crime as raping and murdering a young girl and who also suffered from a history of mental illness is basically unlikely to be sentenced to death. He has a chance of returning to society and continuing to commit crimes. According to Light Yagami's philosophy, this is the most suitable crime to be shown to the public and must be punished.
The most important thing is that during the live TV broadcast at that time, all the viewers clearly heard L's face-to-face provocation to "Kira".
But Kira did not behave aggressively.
Looks like losing.
In fact, a big win.
This attitude of a strong man who is indifferent and dismissive to provocations and sticks completely to his own ideas has made Kira's popularity soar again.
And as Light Yagami made his first public appearance as "Kira", people also discovered one thing.
"Kira" and "Masked" once appeared together in a commercial street in Kyoto City, and joined forces to eliminate a violent gang.
The two mysterious heroes actually have a cooperative relationship with each other, which has aroused heated discussions among the people of Sakura Province.
This is probably what the so-called high-popularity linkage is all about.
........
And that morning, at Yexing's home.
"Yukinoshita."
Touma Kazusa, who slept until noon, walked out of the room rubbing her eyes. Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino sitting alone on the sofa, she asked expressionlessly.
"Where are Yohoshi and Makinohara Shouko?"
Yukino and Touma lived together for a while at the beginning of summer vacation and before the Sunny Doll Killer was eliminated.
They stayed together for another seven days this time, and Yukinoshita Yukino became an internal member. Every day, they followed Yoshikoshi to participate in exorcism operations. The atmosphere between them was not as incompatible as it was at the beginning.
Of course, it is not realistic to just talk normally and go out alone to eat or go shopping.
"Everyone is out."
"Where did you go?"
"Makinohara-san went out shopping with Menma and Hachishaku. Although I couldn't see him, I heard that Hachishaku's fighting ability is very strong. Yexing also agreed that nothing will go wrong."
Touma Kazusa sat on the sofa, keeping a body length away from Yukinoshita Yukino, peeled a piece of candy from his arms, put it in his mouth, and said lightly.
"I don't care where she goes, the point is Nightstar."
"He went to be interviewed."
"Oh."
Hearing Touma Kazusa's brief one-word reply, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, and after being silent for a long while, she finally couldn't help but speak.
"Don't you want to ask who he was interviewed with and who was the interviewer?"
"It doesn't matter."
Touma Kazusa shook her head, her expression as calm as ever.
Yukinoshita Yukino sighed slightly and looked at Touma Kazusa who was squatting on the sofa with a complicated look in her eyes.
"To be honest, I really don't understand. You were willing to stand in front of the truck when it hit you, but now you are acting like this... I know there is such a thing as love, but it doesn't seem to be like this."
When she heard the word "love", Touma Hesa's fair and pretty face turned slightly red and she denied it flatly.
"We are just friends."
Yukinoshita Yukino has always been outspoken, and this moment is no exception.
"You can't fool anyone except yourself with these words, right?"
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Touma Hesa lowered her head, wrapped her arms around her legs, and curled up on the sofa. Her beautiful eyes revealed a deep sense of loneliness.
"For a useless person like me, all I want is to be by his side...to give him everything, this is all I have..."
"You have too low self-esteem."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
It was the first time she realized that Touma Kazusa was so inferior in her heart.
Yukino finally understood why the other party had refused to admit his feelings for Yeboshi even though it was so obvious.
Because of her strong inferiority complex, Touma Kazusa's attitude towards Yoshihiro was even a little humble when facing Yoshihoshi.
But.......
Even without a confirmed relationship, they can devote their life to another person without asking for anything in return...
Touma Kazusa's feelings for Yohoshi completely match Yukinoshita Yukino's definition of what is real.
The point is, she always felt something was not right.
The real thing...is that all it is?
"Touma... no, Kazusa."
Yukinoshita Yukino stood up from the sofa, walked in front of Touma Kazusa, and spoke slowly.
"I can help you if you want."
Touma Kazusa raised her head and murmured.
"Help me...what?"
Yukinoshita Yukino tucked her long hair behind her ears and spoke slowly.
"Come to think of it, you had an encounter with that guy on the first day of school, but now half of the summer vacation has passed and there is still no progress. If you continue to hold on to this idea and stay where you are, one day in the future, you will drift away from him."
"If that's the case..."
Touma Hesa muttered to herself, gnashing her teeth, and her hands clenched involuntarily.
"I...can't accept that."
Yukinoshita Yukino knew that the other party would have this kind of reaction, and said calmly.
"Then let me help you. This is the first commission that Chaoliangsha Yukinoshita Yukino has taken on and completed independently. Help the daughter of a world-class pianist to resolve the knot that has been in her heart for a long time."
Touma Hesa pursed her lips and did not agree directly, but responded with action.
She took out a piece of candy from her pocket and gently placed it in Yukinoshita Yukino's hand.
"If you eat my candy, you must help me to the end."
"no problem."
...........
Meanwhile, inside Suga's editing studio.
"Yehsing-san~"
Natsumi Suga, who was dressed very coolly in a suspender and hot pants, opened the door. When she saw Ye Xing standing outside, she first greeted him with a smile, and then glanced at the other person's side.
"Hey, didn't that girl named Kitagawa Umi come with you? I invited her too."
Ye Xing replied nonchalantly.
"She has a cold today and can't go out."
"Oh, that's fine."
Suga Natsumi led Yexing in and spoke with a smile.
"Anyway, the person I wanted to interview was only you, and I invited Kitagawa-san to come along because I was afraid you would feel nervous being alone with me."
Ye Xing sat down on the sofa and replied with a chuckle.
"You're worrying too much. I should say I'm worried that you'll be nervous if you're alone with me."
"Don't underestimate me, I'm a professional writer."
After Suga Natsumi replied with a smile, she sat down opposite Ye Xing and said impatiently.
"Shall we start now?"
"can."
"The first question is..."
Suga Natsumi leaned forward slightly, supported her chin with one hand, stared at Ye Xing's face, and spoke slowly.
"Mr. Yexing, as someone who has cosplayed as 'Mask', what do you think of 'Mask'?"
212 Suga Natsumi's Transaction, Kitagawa Umi who Needs Care
"'Mask'..."
Hearing Suga Natsumi's question, Ye Xing didn't think too much and gave his answer directly.
"He is not a hero, just a person who acts according to his own will and is not bound by anything... It doesn't matter whether you call him a hero or a criminal, it doesn't change his nature."
"Oh?"
Suga Natsumi didn't expect that Yexing would have such an evaluation of the "masked man".
She originally thought that since the other party had cosplayed as "Masked", he should be a fan and would think, like most people, that the shadowy man in black was a hero who protected the safety of Kyoto.
Acting entirely on your own accord? Not bound by anything?
This was the first time that Suga Natsumi had heard such an evaluation. She was even more curious and stared at Ye Xing with interest, chuckling.
"You don't think he's a hero?"
"It doesn't matter what I think or what other people think."
