This small wave of commotion passed with the ringing of the class bell, but Shiro knew very well that besides these people looking at him as if he were some big monster, one person was looking at him with great interest.
Ren looked at Shiro with some inexplicable emotions in her eyes, thinking: "Is this Lala's fiancé? I have to admit, that aura just now was truly terrifying."
If she could make him fall for her, wouldn't she win this time? She thought to herself, she wasn't bad either. She would win him over, make him fall in love with her, and then show off in front of Lala.
At this moment, her death-seeking spirit was burning fiercely. She wanted to snatch Shiro away to prove that she was better than him, but she didn't think about who he was! How dare she try to snatch him!
Shiro, at this moment, felt that her idea was truly bold to even dare think about him.
...
"What a coincidence~"
"Shiro."
"I didn't expect to meet you here."
At this moment, in a certain part of Shuchiin, a "chance" encounter happened.
Shiro looked at the energetic Ren in front of him and felt somewhat speechless. Did she really think he was stupid?
You know, this was the rooftop. He had just come up to rest, and she followed him.
"No? What are you doing here, I'm asking you?"
Shiro, at this moment, wanted to hear her explanation, to see what excuse she had. After all, if she wanted to follow him, she didn't need to come all the way here.
"Shiro, why do I feel like you don't really want to see me?"
Ren pretended to be a pitiful girl at this moment, as if she had suffered some great injustice.
"It's not that. It's just that usually no one chooses to come here at this time."
"But aren't you here, Shiro? I was just curious and came to take a look."
"After all, I just arrived here."
"Alright then~ Anyone who didn't know would think you came here on purpose to find me."
Shiro smacked his lips after hearing her explanation, then told the truth in a teasing tone. As soon as the truth came out, it immediately made the other side uncomfortable. It had to be said that Shiro hit the mark exactly, at least in her heart.
"It's just a coincidence, but I didn't expect to see Lala's fiancé here. I'm actually quite curious about you, Shiro."
Ren stepped closer to Shiro at this moment, bent down and leaned in, bringing their faces very close.
Under normal circumstances, a normal person would definitely feel shy or flustered at this scene, but Shiro remained calm as always.
"What's there to be curious about? We're all human, two eyes, one nose, one mouth."
"I'm just an ordinary person."
Shiro said this about himself without any hesitation.
"Hahaha, Shiro, you're really modest."
"You know, countless people in the universe are very curious about you. In fact, as far as I know, the number of people who want to kill you could circle the Earth at least once."
"So you're not ordinary at all. You're a big star."
Ren laughed loudly at this moment. She didn't expect that the person who had been so dominant just now could shamelessly call himself ordinary. Truly interesting.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, what they want to do is their business, as long as they don't come here to provoke me. Everything else is fine. By the way, what's your purpose for coming here? I'm quite curious."
Ren was stunned when she heard this, then returned to her energetic state.
"Of course, because Lala and I are good friends."
Shiro thought that anyone who didn't know would think that was true. It had to be said that this girl was quite good at acting, even though she clearly treated the other party as a mortal enemy.
"Of course, a small part of it is also to follow that idiot, Ren, here."
When Shiro heard this, he thought: "Where is the small part? It must be the big part, right?"
And just when the other side wanted to say something, Shiro in front of her suddenly changed his expression, quickly stood up and pulled her down. The two of them immediately fell on top of each other.
Ren was completely confused. What was the other party trying to do? Could it be that he was trying to make a move on her here?
Just as she thought this, a sound of air being pierced was heard. She felt as if something passed by her hair, and then, with a "whoosh," a throwing knife stabbed into the ground beside them.
Immediately in the next moment, Shiro quickly grabbed the small throwing knife with his other hand, then threw it back.
A sonic boom instantly exploded, and then, a moment later, fireworks exploded high in the sky.
Ren was completely confused, because this whole process happened in a short instant. And the main point was that the fireworks exploded quite far from the school. However, their attack methods were different: one relied on spatial methods, while the other directly used strength, even adding a little something into it.
Ren Elsie Julia felt that her brain wasn't working at this moment. What just happened? But just then, Shiro spoke in a helpless tone.
"I thought it was your royal guards hidden high in the sky, who decided to protect you. Turns out they were assassins targeting you. Seriously, in this situation, don't you bring bodyguards when you go out?"
Ren was immediately shocked when she heard this.
"Shiro, you said that was an assassin just now?"
"How is that possible? Len and I both chose to travel discreetly."
"Don't ask me that. How would I know? But there really are assassins."
As soon as Shiro said this, the other side's face immediately became ugly.
"...But I already dealt with him. There was only one who came here, right?"
"I suspect the other party was working part-time. The target was probably me, but they saw you, a lone princess, and decided to take an extra job."
When Shiro thought of this, he felt very helpless. He hadn't encountered such things any less during this time, and he dealt with all of them immediately. But just because he dealt with them immediately didn't mean they didn't exist.
The other side became even more confused when she heard this. How could this person look so calm?
"Shiro, how can you look so calm? Whether it's me or you, someone is trying to kill you."
"Is there a possibility that ever since Lala announced it, this kind of situation hasn't been rare? The problem is that there isn't a single opponent who can put up resistance. I was hoping for someone like Ghost Blade who could fight a bit and let me have some fun, but all I get are these boring things."
Shiro's expression was full of disdain when he said this.
Ren was stunned when she heard this, then remembered something. It seemed that many assassins in the universe had disappeared recently. Now it seemed they were already dead.
"Shiro, no wonder you can stay calm even after becoming Lala's fiancé. (Alright, alright)"
"But did Ghost Blade also die here?"
Ren also clearly knew that the person behind those two words was not someone to be provoked, and even the royal family behind her didn't want to provoke him. So it turned out he had fallen here.
"Indeed, he died here, but I just covered up the news about him. After all, if it spreads, no one will dare to come. What then? I was still hoping to catch a big fish."
"But I didn't catch any big fish, only these small ones that I'm too lazy to even eat."
When Shiro said this, his tone was full of bad luck. Originally, he wanted some fun, but there was no fun at all, just some weaklings who couldn't see the situation clearly.
Honestly, he even started thinking about putting a bounty on his own head just to pass the time.
