Anemia again?! Toono, do you want to go to the infirmary?!"
"Are you okay, Tohno-kun...?"
"No, it's okay... Please continue talking."
"Oh...Okay - Toono, have you heard of the urban legend about the North Exit Station?
It's like a test of your courage, allowing you to enter the underground passage from a secret entrance and get a large sum of money if you walk to the innermost part. "
"I've heard a little bit about this, but isn't this just a common ghost story?"
Then the ringing of the phone interrupted our conversation.
"Okay, class is about to start. Go back to your seat and take a rest."
Arihiko patted Shiki's shoulder and then sat down.
"As expected! Shiki! Look at what I'm saying! Don't underestimate my intuition and sense of smell! Thanks to your two friends, otherwise you, who are out of touch, would still be in the dark! Let's go there tonight! Praise the great kivat detective!"
Then, he bit a cigar that came from nowhere with his sharp teeth, put on a round hat that seemed to appear suddenly, and pretended to be in deep thought.
"..."
Instead of paying attention to the props that suddenly appeared in Kivat, Tohno Shiki pondered over what the two said...
....................................
As the sun sets, the joy of finishing school unfortunately does not come to my mind.
Tono Shiki sat in the back seat by the window.
The wine-red sunset falls on the table.
But it's very painful,
Shiki is very annoying.
This color,
It reminded him of blood... and what happened seven years ago...
"hiss--"
The old wounds on my chest and shoulders began to burn again. The huge scar seemed to have shrunk in the past seven years, but I still felt dizzy whenever I looked at it in the mirror. After that incident, I also suffered from anemia.
Students left the campus in droves.
I don't know why, the high jump mat and the 1.5 meter height dipped in the dusk,
I always feel eager to try.
But now is obviously not the time to worry about this.
..........................................
A man and a bat walked on the street until darkness enveloped the entire city...
"This is it! Kivat! North Exit Station!"
The man and bat who came here began to search carefully for the so-called secret passage nearby.
Although the station is close to the city center, there are not many people on the street due to the recent serial murders.
"This is..."
At the corner of the mall, a corridor caught Shiki's attention.
There is no light.
Darkness filled the entire corridor.
The cold air is constantly invading.
An inconspicuous elevator is hidden at the innermost part.
The red indicator light is like a pair of red eyes of warning.
In the darkness,
It emits a strange red light.
It looks like it is very old, with rust all over the elevator door, showing its age.
"..."
Just as I was about to press the elevator switch,
A big hand
He pressed on Shiki's shoulder.
!
The tense nerves responded quickly.
"Kivat!"
"Here I come!"
Take off your glasses quickly.
When the kivat was about to bite off my arm,
A pair of silver shackles had been shackled around his wrists.
?
"You're sneaking around here! That's so suspicious. You're reacting so badly to being caught! Please come with me!"
The police officer showed his police ID and grabbed Shiki's arm, trying to take him away.
"No... I'm not! I'm just here to investigate! Let me go!"
"All the students around here have gone home, but you are still hanging around here. If not you, who else is suspicious?! Go to the police station and explain the rest!"
The policeman was about 1.9 meters tall, with muscles so huge that they seemed to burst through his uniform. He looked like he could smash a wall with one punch, or even fight a monster.
The police hat pressed down the disordered black hair, the emerald green eyes, and the cold face conveyed a feeling of invincibility...
"Ono... Just call me Officer Ono..."
These were the only words he uttered as he rode in the police car on the way to the police station.
................................................
"What on earth are you doing? I didn't do anything!"
"If you are truly innocent, we will let you go immediately."
"What the hell?! I was just walking around the neighborhood! I just didn't go home! And you arrested me based on your instinct?! What kind of police are you? I'm going to file a complaint against you!"
"Yakamashi! Shut up! I've already found your guardian! We're investigating the surroundings and your action logs. If everything is ok, you'll be able to leave soon!"
"whispering sound..."
Unexpectedly, I was sent to police station on the first day of school.
Kivat was still hovering in the interrogation room. He could have cut off the handcuffs and the iron bar and escaped, but that would have confirmed that he was a major suspect.
But it's too boring. If I chat with kivat, it will probably alert him...
Now all I can do is stay here...
..........................................
"Aki...Akiha?!"
Toono Shiki, who was drinking water while waiting, almost spit out a mouthful of water.
"Long time no see, brother..."
Although I haven't seen her for many years, she has become much taller. She is wearing a black long skirt and a white shirt, revealing a noble temperament.
But the waist-length black hair, eyes as blue as the sky, and face as delicate as a doll made him so real that he could tell at a glance that she was his younger sister - Tono Akiha.
"But I didn't expect that our first meeting after so many years would be at the police station..."
"Ahahahaha… That's right… What an unexpected development…"
Shiki scratched his head in bewilderment.
But the cold and expressionless sister opposite her was swallowing unconsciously, and cold sweat was already oozing out of her scalp.
"Ms. Tono, we have investigated thoroughly and your brother has no abnormal behavior. You can take him back."
"Well, my brother is very sorry to bother you."
Akiba bowed deeply to Officer Ono, looked at Shiki, and turned to leave.
"hiss..."
She didn't say anything, should I follow her...?
"It's late, let me take you there."
"Well, thank you very much."
Qiu Ye bowed to him again.
After that, Officer Ono drove Akiba and Shiki back to the Tono family in the police car.
On the way, Qiuye sat next to Shiki, but said nothing, staring at the scenery outside the car window.
But if you look through the reflection in the glass, it's not hard to see that she's constantly stealing glances at Shiki.
Then, Shiki, who was already sweating profusely, didn't pay any attention to these things. He just rubbed his fingers together to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"I'm sorry for doubting you, Mr. Tono."
The first person to break this atmosphere was Officer Ono.
"No…no no! It's…it's my problem! Officer Ono…Officer Ono has no problem!"
"..."
"No, I also wasted a lot of your time, and I need to apologize for that.
But it's really dangerous recently. You should know about the serial murder case. Even if you had no problem, I should have caught you and sent you home at that time. That was my responsibility. "
"Well...thank you, Officer Ono."
"It's okay. And... this bat toy...? It just fell in the interrogation room. It should be yours, right?"
Kivat lay quietly in his hands, not daring to move, as if he were really a toy.
? !
"Yes... it's mine..."
"Then don't get lost again. We'll meet again when we're there."
After saying that, he waved his hand, got out of the car, and soon the police car left the house and disappeared into the darkness in the distance...
"What is a bat toy?"
Qiuye asked curiously because she didn't see anything just now.
"It's... it's... it's a doll! Look, this is it!"
After that, he took out a large dark blue bat pillow from his bag.
"I bought this at the mall after school! I wanted to give Akiha a surprise later, hahahaha..."
Not sure if he could get away with it anymore, Toono Shiki just wanted to change the subject and decided to give it a try.
"Hmm...thank you, brother. I like it very much."
She gave a small smile, then returned to her cold expression.
Then he opened the gate of the manor and walked in.
Toono Shiki let out a long sigh, and then followed closely behind. His tense nerves and confused mind finally got a moment's respite.
After walking for an unknown number of minutes, a tall mansion came into view. Like a royal palace, countless windows emitted a reassuring yellowish light, illuminating the white walls and nearby woods in the darkness.
"Well, welcome home, brother."
Pushing open the seemingly heavy door of the mansion, what greeted Shiki Tono was a lobby comparable to a hotel.
The floor was covered with wine-red carpets that showed nobility. The light emitted by the huge chandelier hanging in the center of the lobby was so bright that Zhigui couldn't open his eyes for a moment. It was as if he was in a different era. The decoration was too old, and it felt as if even the air was different from the outside world.
Even so, this is still the lobby of the Tono residence in Tono Shiki's memory.
"Welcome home! Akiba-sama! And... Shiki-sama!"
What appeared before my eyes was a girl wearing classic Japanese clothes and an apron. Her short pink hair was tied with a blue bow. Her amber eyes showed vitality and joy.
"Great! I thought you guys were lost or something! Why are you back so late?"
"Brother, I've run into some trouble. Brother, this is Amber. She will tell you the details. I'll go back to my room first."
Qiu Ye lifted her long black hair, then took brisk steps, holding the bat doll pillow and disappeared into the maze of the mansion...
"...Um, Amber..."
"Yes, Master Shiki, I'm here."
"You…you…"
I don't know why, but after seeing the face of this girl, a lot of bubbles appeared in the ocean called memory, as if I was about to recall something important...
"What's your job?!"
"?"
Amber tilted her head, looked at Shiki with her beautiful amber eyes, smiled slightly, seemed to say nothing, and seemed to say something.
"......"
At this moment, Shiki wished he could turn into a kiva immediately so that Amber could not see his face, and then rush out of the house at a speed of 5 seconds per 100 meters.
"Are you an idiot?! Isn't it obvious that she's a maid?!"
Kivat used his wings to slap Shiki as if to smash the back of his head, causing Shiki to stagger.
"Master Shiki?"
"No…it's okay!"
"If you're alright... well... let's do this! I'll take you to the living room first. Akiba-sama should be here soon!"
"Ah…ah…ok!"
Shiki followed Kohaku up to the second floor obediently. On the corridor leading to the reception room, Shiki curiously glanced out the window.
What comes into view is the square that I am familiar with. I remember having a lot of fun playing here with a few friends when I was a child. It carries my childhood memories...? !
Why? !
Why did I just discover that even though it is now covered by darkness, the street lights to the west still dot the overall appearance of this square?
The vegetation in this square is cut into shapes.
Could it be a bat? !
Why is there an extra building in the northeast? !
I clearly remember that there should only be this mansion under my feet. There is no way there can be a second building in this manor!
Why?
Toono Shiki stared out the window with eyes wide open in disbelief.
A sense of virtuality and unreality came over me.
Then a wave of dizziness and vertigo came over me.
"Master Shiki...? Are you feeling unwell...? Do you want me to call a doctor?"
"No...it's okay, let's go to the living room first."
Holding back the urge to vomit, Tono Shiki chose to go to the living room first.
Would Qiuye... or Kivat... know what was going on?
................................................
When you open the door, you will see the living room, which is full of classical atmosphere, filled with various classical furniture such as tables and chairs made of teak.
Qiu Ye was sitting at the table, quietly closing his eyes, as if taking a nap.
"Then Master Shiki, I'll go prepare dinner first~ Good luck!"
Amber clenched her fists and encouraged Shiki seriously, then left with light steps.
When Shiki was thinking about how to talk to Akiha,
When I looked up, I found that the black-haired girl narrowed her eyes slightly, as if observing me, an outsider.
"Well then, let's have a proper chat, brother."
"Ah… ah. Okay."
Shiki answered awkwardly, now taking another good look at Akiha. He didn't have time to observe her carefully before at the police station and left.
I have to say, after not seeing you for seven years, Qiu Ye has really grown up. She has become a graceful young lady, but it seems that something has changed.
Noticing Shiki's gaze, Akiha felt a little uncomfortable.
"What are you looking at, brother?"
"Ah... I didn't notice it before, but after all these years, Akiha has completely changed. She's become a great beauty!"
"Well, thank you for the compliment, brother."
"..."
"——"
Qiu Ye's expression seemed to have not changed at all, and he still had a cold expression.
White teeth! The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Did she really still resent me for leaving home for so many years and pushing all the responsibilities of the family onto her? !
Both of them were waiting for the other to break the silence, and finally, Shiki couldn't stand it anymore.
"I'm sorry! Akiha! Please forgive me!!!"
With a thud, Shiki fell to his knees.
"Eh???! Bro, what are you doing?! Get up!"
After Akiha pulled Shiki up with a look of surprise, he realized his own loss of composure. After clenching his fist and coughing, he returned to his cold expression.
"I called you back this time because of something else. When my father, Tono Makihisa, passed away, you were not invited to his funeral. I'm sorry."
"…It's okay. Even if I participate, I won't be able to come back to life. Besides, I'm not good at dealing with so many relatives."
"Well... and since you grew up as a member of the Tohno family, you must fulfill your duties as a member of the Tohno family until you become an adult and independent. That's why I summoned you back."
"I respect your status as an elder brother, but please understand that you are the property of the Tohno family and the eldest son of the Tohno family, and I am the head of the Tohno family. In this regard, you and I are in a superior-subordinate relationship."
These words are so cold...
"I see."
"Do you really understand..."
Qiu Ye frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"I mean I have a higher position than my brother, and I unilaterally ask you to accept it."
"That's fine with me."
"Rather, I should be very grateful to Qiuye for accepting me after I had been wandering around for seven years!"
Qiu Ye seemed to blink in shock, then coughed lightly and returned to his normal state.
"Are you feeling unwell, Akiha? Why do you seem to be coughing so often after coming back?"
"————"
"That's it anyway! If you have any more questions, you can ask this kid."
Following a knock on the door, a maid who looked very similar to Amber walked in. She was also pink in color, but was wearing a headscarf. She was wearing a fluffy black dress with a pure white apron on the outside. The face shape seems to be exactly the same, except for being a little cold and having those deep blue eyes.
"Her name is Feicui. She is also a servant here. She will be my brother's personal maid from now on."
"Wait... Wait, personal maid?"
"I am your servant. So, Hisui, take my brother to his room first. Don't let him get lost in the house like a kitten."
"Yes, Master Akiba."
"Wait...wait a minute, Akiha!"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"That building... has it always been there?"
"What building? All the buildings here were built together a long time ago. At most, they have been newly renovated or something."
"Ah, is that so…"
Could it be that my memory is really wrong?
"See you at dinner then."
"..."
"Please follow me, Master Shiki."
"Oh, ok, okay!"
Jade's steps are slow, not as brisk as amber's.
But you can follow her closely.
However, looking at her figure, for some reason, my memory was disturbed again, but I still couldn't remember anything.
"This is it."
Shiki's room is located in the southwest corner of the second floor of the mansion. It is not big, only a few square meters, but it is very clean and luxurious.
but,
"Ah! kivat! Why are you here!?"
The bat that was sleeping soundly on the white bed had blown up a huge snot bubble, which burst instantly after hearing my scream.
"Hmm?! Is dinner ready?! Is there any barbecue?!"
"Fuck you! I was wondering why you disappeared after I went upstairs. Turns out you sneaked in here to sleep!
"What do you mean by sneaking? You ran so fast. I got lost in such a big house and had to follow the girl who carried your luggage to this room~"
——What he said makes sense. It is indeed easy to get lost in this house.
"Master Shiki...?"
Hisui was startled as she watched Shiki yelling and pointing at her bed.
"Ah... It's okay, it's okay. I'm just a little excited because I haven't seen my room for a long time. Hahaha... Let's go, let's eat first!"
"Yes, Master Shiki, please follow me."
She then led Shiki and the kivat to the large cafeteria on the first floor.
There is a very long dining table in front of me, which can probably seat dozens of people. It seems that a lot of people lived here in the past.
And Qiu Ye had already been waiting at his home.
"It's a bit late, brother."No! I don't want it!"
"Brother! Take out the dirty things in your pants that symbolize youth! Don't hide it! This is the order of the head of the family!"
After a fierce struggle, Tono Shiki finally handed over his phone reluctantly...
It's over. Now I can't do the daily tasks or watch the animations...
"If you need to make a phone call, just use the landline in the living room, that's all."
"Also, you are not allowed to go out at night! The entrance here is closed at 8pm. If you want to go out, you must report to me or Amber and Emerald."
"Ha, you're going to care about this?! And it's too early!"
"Rules are rules. Besides, your grades are always fluctuating. As a child of the Tono family, you must maintain your top position!"
"Ha... um... no matter what, as long as we are human, there will always be times when we perform poorly!"
However, the fact is that during exams, Shiki Tono would let the kivat wander around the classroom to collect answers, and the low grades were because sometimes the kivat would go on strike because it was too sleepy or too hungry, or it might be too bored and go wandering outside.
"That's it, then."
He tasted the last bite very gracefully, wiped his mouth, and left the restaurant with light steps without giving anyone room for rebuttal.
"Damn it...! You act like my mom!" Of course, I muttered this in a low voice.
"You don't want to eat anymore? If you don't, I'll eat it~"
Kivat opened his mouth wide and swallowed the steak in one gulp, then sucked in the other vegetables and fruits like a black hole.
Toono Shiki has always wanted to understand how such a small body can hold so much food.
..........................................
When I returned to the bedroom, Feicui had already made the bed and prepared the necessary clothes, and was waiting there.
…
Such convenience made Tono Shiki a little uncomfortable at first.
"Well, I can organize my clothes and quilts by myself."
"Okay, Master Shiki."
"Well, if it's possible, can you please not call me 'Master'? It sounds weird. Just call me Shiki."
Jade raised her eyebrows in confusion, looking embarrassed.
"But, Master Shiki is Master Shiki..."
"...Okay, call me that if you want. By the way, is there a TV or something like that here?"
"TV... I think I saw it in my sister's room..."
"Amber?! Thank you so much, Hisui!"
"No...you're welcome, Master Shiki. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
"Well, goodnight, Emerald!"
After Jadeite left,
Tono Shiki quietly walked to the corridor, and after confirming that Akiha was not there, he quickly ran to Amber's room and knocked on the door very carefully.
"Amber~ are you there~?"
"Ah! Is that Shiki-kun? Here I come!"
The door opened and Amber seemed to be making tea. The room did not have as many items and decorations as one would imagine for a girl. It was rather simple and retro, but also had a lot of complicated things.
Among them, what attracted me the most was probably the thick and big TV, and behind that was a newly released PlayStation 4! The pure white appearance is like the hands of an angel reaching out when you are in hell!
"Um...Amber, can I...watch TV for a while...?"
"TV? Yes...of course you can, but if Akiha-sama finds out, the consequences will be serious!"
Amber looked at me very seriously and raised a finger.
"I'll just watch for a while..."
"Well, there's really nothing we can do about Master Shiki. It'll only take a little while."
! amber! The conscience of the Tono family! ! !
..........................................
I don't know how long I played the fighting game with Amber. When I walked out of the room, the lights in the entire mansion were turned off and darkness swallowed every corner.
"Phew, luckily Akiha didn't notice."
When I returned to the room, Kivat had already fallen asleep hanging upside down on the clothes hanger. But this time he seemed to be sleeping very soundly, without even the snot bubbles or snoring. He was hanging there motionless like a pendant. If you didn't know him well, you would have thought he had taken some medicine.
"Kivat…? Kivat…!"
I called out softly a few times, but there was no response.
Never mind, I'll ask him about the square and the building tomorrow...
..........................................
"Wake up!!!"
Kivat blew the whistle, and along with the melodious sound of the whistle, the restraints on his right leg were released, revealing three crystal clear gems.
He pushed the ground with his left foot, flew upside down into the sky, and after accumulating enough strength, he turned quickly and kicked the ground with his right foot like lightning.
After the earth-shaking explosion,
As if it had been hit by a missile, a deep pit with a radius of unknown meters was created at the spot.
Countless dead apostles were blown into unrecognizable minced meat at this moment, and then fell everywhere from the sky like rain, leaving only a huge bat mark.
Bathed in the bloody rain, the kiva stood still,
Suddenly, the fangs under the mask opened,
That endless piece of meat
There are people and dead apostles
Like a rich dinner party,
He began to eat with relish.
When he raised his head and looked at the glass window in front of him,
All that was reflected were the green eyes and visor washed with blood. Kiva no longer existed.
There is only a hungry beast here.!!!」
Toono Shiki, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, sat up in shock as if he was dying of an illness, gasping for breath. Sweat had already soaked his pajamas and sheets, and the messy and thick "lines" in his vision were so sharp that his eyes were about to break.
"Good morning... Master Shiki...?"
Hisui, who had just walked into the room, was very worried when she saw Tohno Shiki's miserable appearance.
"Do I need to call a doctor and take the day off?"
"No, no, it's just a common nightmare, it will be fine after a while."
"Okay, then please change your clothes and I'll clean them for you later."
"Well, thank you for your help, Emerald."
The warm morning sunshine had already filtered through the window beside the bed and fallen onto the quilt. Countless specks of dust were dancing vigorously under the stage light of the sunshine.
After putting on my glasses, I realized that the kivat was still hanging on the hanger without moving.
It was strange. This was the first time that Kivat needed to be woken up by himself. Usually he would get up early and wander off somewhere.
After struggling to wake up the kivat, the man and the bat washed up and went to the cafeteria on the first floor. After having breakfast with Akiba, Tohno Shiki prepared to go to school.
"So, kivat, do you know why the vegetation in that square is cut into that shape? And what's going on with that building?"
"Oh, you mean the square and the building?"
"right."
"I don't know either."
"——"
"Hey wait, don't do it yet! Didn't I tell you that I can't remember anything right now? What if I suddenly have an epiphany like my Ren and Du meridians are opened up in the future?"
"Okay, I'll spare your life for now. Today's goal is to investigate the North Exit Station - huh?"
"Shiki-kun—wait!"
Amber trotted over to the two of them, holding a wooden box in her hands.
"This seems to be something the master entrusted to you. It seems to be very important to you~"
"Oh...thank you Amber."
When the wooden box was opened, a very delicate knife was found inside. It gave off a very ancient atmosphere, but its appearance had not been eroded by time. Take out a long knife, about the weight of two apples,
The words "Seven" and "Night" were engraved on both sides of the pitch-black handle.
"Seven...nights..."
The two words were like stones dropped into my mind, creating ripples but not much of a splash.
"And... don't let Akiha-sama see this~"
Kohaku pulled out Shiki's phone and a key card from her loose sleeves.
"!!!!"
Amber, the hope of the Tohno family!
Shiki wanted to give Kohaku a big hug right away, but it was obviously not appropriate at this time.
"Well, thank you very much, Kohaku. I will be careful! Even if I am discovered, I will never betray you!"
"Hmm~ Then I'll really leave it to you, Shiki~"
"Oh! I almost forgot, there's one more thing. Please follow me."
besides? Why does it feel like we are dividing our property?
Kohaku brought Shiki to a small garage outside the mansion. The girl lifted the heavy shutter door easily with her slender arms.
A brand new motorcycle was revealed, with a black body covered with a number of dark blue metal decorations. A bat pattern was outlined in black on the dark blue in front of the seat.
Why is it a bat again...
"This is also what the previous head of the family left for Shiki! It's such a cool motorcycle, and it seems like it's never been ridden before. I really want to try it out..."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be off to get busy now."
Amber bowed slightly and left the garage.
Shiki gently stroked the texture of the motorcycle, which was so smooth that it looked as if the motorcycle had just come off the lathe yesterday.
"But I've never learned how to ride it!"
"It's okay, Shiki, just sit on it and turn the handle, and leave the rest to the kid!"
? What's the meaning--!
Suddenly, as if it had self-awareness, the motorcycle suddenly turned on the lights, started the engine, and made a roaring sound.
"Then let's call it the 'Azure Iron Horse'! Let's go, Shiki!"
With that, the kivat landed on Shiki's shoulder, holding on tightly with its claws.
"Oh... I'll try then."
When Shiki put on his helmet, sat on the bike and twisted the handlebars, the motorcycle rushed straight to the school like a wild horse.
................................................
Even though he left home a little late, Shiki arrived earlier today than yesterday, and there were only a few students in the class.
This was the first time that Shiki Toono felt that modern technology was so convenient.
Well, I can get up later next time.
As Shiki and Kivat chatted about this and that, students gradually walked into the classroom.
"Good morning~Tono~ You're here so early today too - I heard that you went to the North Exit Station yesterday! And you were arrested! Is everything okay?"
"Ahem, it was just an accident! It's no big deal."
"Oh…? But you're really brave! You really went there last night. Are there really any strange entrances to rooms or corridors there?!"
"No... nothing."
"Well, that's really boring. As expected, urban legends are just urban legends after all."
"That's right, those are all made up by people. For example, there are talking bats in the world. Do you believe it?"
"Huh?! How can there be such a thing? Have you watched too much anime?!"
"Right - I'm tired, take a break, call me when class starts..."
Directly interrupting the topic without giving the other party a chance to respond, Toono Shiki simply laid down on the table and began to sleep like a baby.
"Asshole! How did you learn to shut down your phone instantly?!"
"Hmm? Looks like I'm late. Toono-kun has already fallen asleep~"
"Ah! Senpai?! Why are you in a lower grade class?!"
"Well, I can come whenever I want. We are from the same school after all."
Hiel placed his hands behind his back, staring at Shiki's sleeping face curiously.
"But unfortunately you are late. The guy has turned off his phone. Ever since he moved, his mood has become even more unstable. Not only does he sometimes go crazy and "attack" everyone who gets close to him without distinguishing between friend and foe, but now he even shouts at the air from time to time. I am worried about his mental state. "
"Suddenly went crazy...screaming and yelling..."
"Hey, Arihiko, is it really okay to say that to someone in front of them?!"
"Huh?! Toono, you're not asleep?! So you've been eavesdropping the whole time?! The devilish glasses guy!"
"How can a human fall asleep so early in the morning? Also, what does 'the devilish glasses man' mean?!"
Xiyeer was standing by, holding his chin, quietly listening to the two people's heated argument until the class bell interrupted it all.
"Well, that's all for today. Goodbye, Kane-kun, Tohno-kun."
"Goodbye, Senpai!" X2
"Tono-kun, don't play in strange places at night~"
!
"Okay...Okay, I got it."
The two of them watched Xier leave quietly. Kivat had been silent since the beginning, as if he was thinking about something.
